Dynasty s02e11 Episode Script

S-24 - The Car Explosion

What are you doing? I'm leaving Camelot.
- Jeff-- - Fallon, I don't wanna talk right now.
Well, I have something I wanna tell you.
About how you suffered during the abortion? About the pain you're in right now? - No, l-- - Just shut up.
I don't wanna hear another word out of that mouth, do you understand? You murdered my child.
Isn't that enough? Damn it.
You really do hate me.
Hate you? No.
The person I really hate is myself.
For letting you get out of this house.
For letting you do what you did.
Well, if you'd just stop what you're doing and listen to me-- Why? I know you.
- I know you for what you really are.
- Do you? And what exactly is that? That you're not only selfish, but you're also soulless.
You know something, you never did know me.
Not in the beginning, nor the middle, nor the end.
You know, there was a time when I thought I couldn't live without you.
Now I can't stand the sight of you.
Thanks.
That's all right.
Hey, where do we take these? Upstairs to Mrs.
Colby's room.
Oh, yeah? Where's that, buddy? Buddy? That's all right, Joseph, I'll show him where it is.
Looks great.
- You Mr.
Carrington? - That's right.
- You wanna sign this here? - Sure.
Come on, follow me.
Fallon? Come in.
Morning, darling.
All right, Lorraine.
- What's all this? - Just a whim.
Just a very happy whim of mine.
- Daddy.
- That's fine, Lorraine.
Appreciate your help, fellas.
Thanks, Mr.
Carrington.
Daddy, isn't it way too early for all of this? Never too early to say thank you.
And that's what I wanna do.
I wanna thank you for making the decision to keep the baby.
- I had no choice.
- Yes, you did, and you made it.
Well, all I know is, when the moment came, I couldn't go through with it because-- Because you're beautiful inside, and because you know that what's inside you right now is beautiful too.
You can open the rest of these packages later.
I want you to take a look at this right now.
- What is it? - Open it and see.
Go on.
It's beautiful.
Yes, isn't it? And it's got a little history.
A very special history.
You see, both you and Steven wore it at your christenings.
And some years before that, I wore it at mine.
Look at the embroidery and the material.
I thought you said your family was poor.
We were.
But I guess you could say that my mother was rich with her fingers, rich with her heart.
- How old were you when she died? - Four.
I just barely remember her.
Except for her eyes.
She had the most incredibly lovely eyes.
You know something? I can still see them in you when I look at you.
Oh, Daddy.
Oh, now, hey, no tears.
This is a day for the future, to your future.
It's a day for joy.
No.
With Jeff? Well, Fallon, it could all be good again, if you two would just talk to each other, just listen to each other.
Give it some time.
It's not gonna happen, Daddy.
Now, honey, all I'm asking you to do is try.
Good morning.
Good morning.
You sound tired.
I didn't sleep very well.
Neither did l, wondering where you were.
Where did you go last night? I got in the car and drove, just drove.
Nonstop, in a wide circle? No.
I stopped once.
To phone you, but you didn't answer.
Alexis did.
Oh, then that was you who hung up? Yes.
Well, if you had asked to speak to me, you might have saved yourself some of this unwarranted upset.
Unwarranted? I think that from the moment you found out I couldn't give you a child, I became less important to you.
And having Alexis close by didn't bother you one damn bit.
- I'm going to ignore that.
- Why, does it hit a nerve? Because you're making a big thing out of nothing, and I want you to know that.
Now, Krystle, when we talked on the telephone, you said that you would see-- You promised that you'd go to see Dr.
Toscanni.
Now, did you? Yes, I did.
Good.
And I want you to keep on seeing him.
- Why? - Because you need him.
Do l? Do I really? Yes, you do.
You need somebody to help you to pull yourself together.
Now, don't you see that? Don't you understand that? Jeff, what is this about you quitting? Do you really need to ask, Blake? Yes, I need to ask.
Well, I formally resigned.
So I don't owe you anything now.
- Listen to me-- - Just leave me alone.
Jeff, you're going to listen.
I didn't ask you to join Denver-Carrington because you were my son-in-law.
Correction, past tense, because I won't be for long.
Now, what does that mean? It means I'm divorcing Fallon.
Did she ask for it? Oh, yes, she asked for it.
- When? - Yesterday.
When yesterday? When she walked into that clinic and destroyed my child.
Fallon didn't have the abortion.
Make it thorough, Marie, thorough.
Good.
Hi, Marie.
Joseph? - Yes? - Would you ask Mrs.
Gunnerson to order up some ice cream for dessert tonight? Pistachio, and banana.
A sudden craving, no doubt? A far cry from your mother's.
Oh, yes? What did she crave? Oh, more exotic foods, I would say.
When she was carrying you, it was serving after serving of asparagus vinaigrettes.
And with Steven, it was loaf after loaf of lobster pate.
We had to fly them in from Paris back then.
Do you know where Krystle is? Living room.
Thanks.
Hello, Krystle.
You're looking well today.
Am l? Yeah.
Playing musical bedrooms seems to suit you.
I'm not in the mood for any of your flip observations this morning, Fallon.
Just making small talk.
What else is there to do in this house these days? Any special plans today? No, I think I'll read.
Oh, that's a good idea.
I haven't read a book in ages.
Well, a month or so.
One of the maids gave me this tome on happy pregnancies.
I could flip through that.
How's Dr.
Toscanni? I don't know.
Why? Just a question.
Have you stopped seeing him? I mean, going to his office for consultations, is it? I haven't decided whether or not I wanna continue.
I see.
Well, that's certainly your decision to make and yours alone.
I think I'll go up and start that book now.
Better yet, I think I'll go into town and do a little shopping.
Oh, if you do see Dr.
Toscanni, tell him hello for me.
Hi from Fallon.
He just might remember me.
Can I help you, miss? I'm looking for Dr.
Toscanni.
Oh, never mind.
Hello, Nick.
I called your office, I found out you were having a late lunch here.
I hope you don't mind a little friendly company.
Why don't you sit down? I took your advice.
I'm having the baby.
And you're happy about it? - Don't I look it? - Yes, you do look happy.
Well, maybe that's because I'm here with you now.
I think it goes a lot deeper than that, Fallon.
You made a wise choice.
I hope so, for the baby's sake.
But I don't know the baby yet.
And I do know you.
And I know that I love you, Nick.
God, my hand starts to tremble just to touch you.
Fallon, someone may be watching us.
Well, they probably all know by now that Jeff walked out on me.
When? This morning.
Look, I know how rotten I can be, but I also know that I could change for you.
I will change.
I could be anything you want me to be.
I'd really try.
Look, Fallon, you're pregnant, you're still married.
Why don't we just say that when we can have our laughs together again, maybe we will.
Maybe? And the other side to that is maybe not.
There's always another side.
And that's all the hope you have to offer me? That's all I've got.
For you, Dr.
Toscanni.
Mr.
Carrington.
Thank you.
- Hello? - Hello, Nick.
I'd like to see you this afternoon, as quickly as possible if you can.
It's about Krystle.
All right.
You name the time, I'll be there.
How about 3:30? Fine.
I'm fine.
I was just wondering if my father got home from Europe yet.
Yes, Steven, he did.
And I told him that you and Mrs.
Carrington's niece were alive and well, and that you had called from an unidentified place.
Well, just tell him that we'll both be home later today.
Thanks, Joseph.
Why did you say we'd be home today? Do we have to, Steven? Don't you want to? Well, sure, but I'd rather go on our honeymoon first.
Look.
Like to this hotel.
That hotel's in Deauville.
France, like it says.
Well, Sammy Jo, we'll go someday if you want.
- But first I have to figure out-- - I wanna go now.
Let me finish, honey.
Look, we'll go when I've got the money to take you.
Okay.
What's the next joke? Look, me being a rich man's son doesn't make me rich.
It's not like I had a grandparent who left me a huge trust fund.
I'm broke, Sammy Jo.
You could have told me this.
Why? Does it make a difference? Does it? Well, sure.
I wouldn't have spent over $1 0 on these dumb magazines.
We don't have to go back to the house right this minute, do we? Fallon, are you all right? Yeah, I'm okay.
I was just on my way to the village to buy some new paintbrushes.
But I thought that maybe it'd be nice if you and I had some tea together.
It's getting a bit chilly.
You'll catch a cold.
Good, I hope it's fatal.
If it is, tell them I want a huge funeral at the St.
Dennis Club to celebrate what was once my happy life.
After all, I had everything.
You do have everything, Fallon.
Please.
Leave me alone, Alexis.
Can't you say it? Can't you say it just once? Mother.
I am your mother, and whether you believe it or not, Fallon, I really do love you.
I think you could use somebody on your side other than Blake right now.
And I am.
The man that you stayed out with that night, is it his child, Fallon? Is that what's bothering you? It's Jeff's child.
Are you sure? Well, there are a lot of things in life that I'm not sure of, but yes, I'm sure of that.
Well, then the man's not important.
Fallon, what's wrong? Please, tell me.
Whatever our differences have been in the past, I want to help you.
That night, in here after I'd been with him, you warned me to be careful not to get caught.
But you didn't warn me not to fall in love with a man who's just slammed the door in my face.
Who is he? I can't tell you that.
He's married, is that it? No.
But there's someone else.
I see.
Do you really love him? Yeah.
I'd do anything for him.
Well, then you have to fight for him.
And fight her too.
Do you know who she is? No.
Well, then find out, Fallon, and fight her.
I don't know if I can.
I don't know anything anymore.
Oh, Fallon.
Oh, darling, it's all right.
Cry.
Get it all out.
Mother.
Fallon.
It's been a long time since you said that.
Cry, darling, cry.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Blake phoned me.
He wants to see me in an hour.
Have you told him anything about us? No.
I think he suspects something.
There's nothing to suspect.
Oh, yes, there is.
What? Feelings, ours.
I want you, Krystle, and you want me.
That's enough.
What I want is time.
I'm so confused.
I need time to think.
To think about what? Alexis and your husband? I'm not really sure what happened between them.
You saw the newspapers.
My God, what do you need? Pictures they didn't print? Oh, Krystle.
Divorce him.
Before he dumps you for her.
She's still in her studio.
She's still on that property.
You can't tell me a man who can move oil tankers in the Mideast can't get rid of an ex-wife in his own backyard if he wants to.
Divorce him, Krystle.
Get it over with now.
Nick, everything's happening too fast.
I have to have that time.
Oh, don't you see? Why is it, wherever I am, with you or without you, I only see you? - Dr.
Toscanni? - Yes? Jeff Colby.
Remember me? Oh, yes, we met at the house once.
Nice to see you again.
Same here.
My wife talks about you all the time.
Fallon.
Does she? About how you helped Claudia Blaisdel to snap out of her problem.
I was quite impressed too, doctor.
Well, that's my job.
I do the best I can.
There have been times when I wanted to suggest that Fallon go see you and talk to you.
But you don't know her very well, do you? No, I don't.
No.
Well, she's her own person, her own woman.
And I guess if I said anything now-- Well, it would be too late anyway.
Good seeing you again, doctor.
Nice to see you again.
I realize that you haven't been treating Krystle very long and I didn't expect miracles.
That's nice, because I'm not very good at conjuring them.
But she's made no progress.
She's more depressed than ever.
Her thinking is more disoriented-- Wait a second.
You just said it.
I haven't been treating her very long, okay? That's not the real problem.
What is? - You.
- Me? If people don't react just the way Blake Carrington wants them to, when he wants them to, then Blake Carrington just pays somebody to push the right button, and: Goodbye depression, hello oriented thinking.
That is why I'm paying you, isn't it? And paying you quite a lot.
Yes.
My accountant's very impressed.
He's gonna begin to wonder about me when I tell him I resigned from this case.
And why are you resigning? Because of me? No, no way.
Because of Krystle.
You see, Blake, I don't believe she needs psychiatric help.
- What does she need? - That's a good question.
Maybe you can answer it.
Someone more considerate than I am, by your standards? Come on, I didn't say that.
Shrinks don't talk that way.
No, I wanna know.
I want your opinion.
Go on.
Yes.
Nick, what do you got against me? Got against you? I hardly know you.
I mean, really know you.
I'm a man who's a judge of people, and I sense something about you.
- Like? - You're holding something against me and I wanna know what the hell it is.
That's a question you ask a guy if you've done something to hurt him.
- Have you done anything to hurt me? - No.
Well, if you haven't hurt me or my family, then everything's okay, right? Your family? Now, what has your family got to do with this? My family, my blood, all the Toscannis.
If somebody hurts us or somebody we love, then we pay back the hurt, you understand that.
But if you haven't done anything, Blake I enjoyed the drink.
Marcia, get Larkin in Personnel for me, will you, please? Mr.
Larkin from Personnel on one, sir.
Hello, Ralph.
Will you send up the file on Dr.
Nicholas Toscanni, please? Right away.
Yes, I have seen it before.
But I wanna look it over again.
Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Just like church bells.
I want everyone to know we're back.
- Well, they know now.
- Good.
Then we can gather them all together in the ballroom and tell them-- Sammy Jo, listen, let's hold off on that for a while, okay? I-- Well, we can't do it that way.
Why not? I have to tell my father first, and he's probably still at the office.
Do you always have to be so formal with him? Well, at least I don't have to be so stiff with my aunt.
Hello, Mother.
What was all the noise about? Steven will fill you in on it.
Well, we just wanted to let everyone know we were back.
And all in one piece, I'm happy to see.
Oh, you heard about the race I won? Race? What race? - You see, there was this car race-- - Did she make you do it? No, she didn't make me do anything.
Except maybe just have a little fling with her.
Would you disapprove of that? Steven, that girl means absolutely nothing to me.
Well, she does to me, Mother.
I married her.
You did what? Steven and I crossed the state line and got married.
What's the matter? I thought you'd be happy.
Aren't you, Aunt Krystle? You should be.
- You did it.
- Did what? Married yourself a Carrington.
So like it or not, I'm one now too.
Mrs.
Carrington.
Mrs.
Steven Carrington.
Does Steven's father know about this? No, I haven't told him yet.
But I'm sure he'll be happy.
Mother, I want you to like Sammy Jo.
She's a wonderful girl.
And one day I'll get to love her as much as you do? I hope so.
There's something else, Mother.
I'm going to be a professional race driver.
So she did get you involved in that.
She introduced me to racing.
And it's the second-best thing that's ever happened to me.
Is it? Mother, don't you see, I've finally found someone and something that I can really be happy with.
A child bride and a dangerous and expensive new career.
Steven, those cars cost a fortune.
Where are you going to get the money to buy one? I was hoping to borrow it.
From you.
Borrow? From me, for a racing car? Oh, Steven, do you really want me to finance your killing yourself? - No.
- Listen, l-- No, I'm not going to listen.
And I wouldn't bother asking your father for money either.
We both saw you nearly die once after that pool accident, we can't go through that again.
We love you too much.
- Hello, Krystle.
- Hi, Steven.
No congratulations? Congratulations.
Well, what did your father say? Well, I haven't told him yet.
Well, what do you say, Krystle? I mean, aside from the congratulations.
You're worried about something.
I'm concerned about the way this all happened.
Why did you have to run away? Why couldn't you have told us first? This is very strange.
I mean, I thought I had at least one friend in this house.
- Steven, I am your frien-- - Look, if you don't approve, if my father doesn't approve, I don't care.
It's done.
I'm getting a divorce because it's what I want.
- If only for my own sanity.
- Well, then get it.
I'm not worried about visitation rights after the baby's born.
That's right, you can visit all you want.
Just make sure I'm in Tibet when-- Now, stop it, will you? The two of you, stop it.
I've heard enough.
Now, I love you both.
I've never asked anything of either of you.
But I will not tolerate your even thinking about a divorce.
Oh, won't you? Well, it's all I'm thinking about.
Now, you mind your tongue, young lady, do you understand that? Now, my concern is for the core of the kind of people we are.
Now, you both have been reared with extraordinary privileges.
But along with those privileges goes inbred responsibility.
Fallon responsible? Now, Jeff, I want no interruptions, not from her and not from you.
Now, you both have conceived another responsibility: a child.
You owe that child the right to be born with a mother and a father under the same roof.
I insist that you live under that roof together, if not as husband and wife, at least as parents.
You want me to move back into the house again? And I want you to abandon the idea of an immediate divorce.
Now, will you at least do that for me, for a while? Please.
I'll move back into the house.
For as long as I can take it.
And only that long.
Now, Fallon, I know you.
I don't want just lip service.
Does my grandchild and your baby come first? Sure, Daddy.
The Hopkins report got waylaid in mimeo.
I put a copy on your desk.
I'm really glad you decided to stay on, Jeff.
Well, it's a pretty tough world out there.
This one's not so bad.
Listen, I'm glad you decided to stay on too and not go to South America.
Well, your uncle still has his people looking for Lindsay.
There's no point in my making a move until they find out where she is.
I spoke with Joseph at the house earlier.
Oh, really? What did he say? He misses me? He told me Steven's married.
Krystle's niece.
Steven? Really? Well, that's wonderful.
That's really wonderful.
Don't you think so? What I'm thinking right now is about you.
Me? Why? What do I have to do with this? You and Steven.
We were lovers for a little while.
That's over with.
Just like Matthew's over with.
Look, I've got a whole new direction going for me now.
So does Steven.
I only hope that his will be as happy as mine is.
Hank, the practice was awful, awful.
What are you doing in there? Get out of there.
You can't make the club in the tub.
Out.
What about the safety blitz? Third and four, I guarantee you they're coming.
Who's gonna pick them up? That fullback doesn't know the difference between a red-dog and a beagle hound.
- See you out on the field.
- Coach.
- Thank you.
- Yep.
I'm Ray Bonning, an associate of Logan Rhinewood's.
Yeah, what can I do for you? Mr.
Rhinewood's very unhappy about one of your players, Hobart.
My quarterback? Did he say why? He doesn't have to say why, McAllister.
He just wants you to get rid of him.
Lose him, quick.
Look, I'm busy here, - and I don't-- - And you'll do that.
Lose him.
Carrington residence.
I'd like to speak to Mr.
Carrington, please.
Say, can you tell me where I can find Coach McAllister? Mr.
Carrington, I think you'll find him in the weight room.
Thank you.
- Two forty-five, coach.
- All right.
Two forty-five.
All right.
Make it hurt.
Make it hurt.
All right.
- Hi, sir.
- Hi.
Sam, how are you? Good afternoon, Mr.
Carrington.
I'm sorry to have to phone you and get you down here.
- I know it's out of your way.
- No, not at all.
As a matter of fact, I should come down here more often.
Now, what's this about Hobart? Actually, he's looking pretty good.
Knee coming along fine? He's one of those praying quarterbacks, you know.
Never hurts.
The reason I got you down here is those two guys over there.
I heard you were a visitor here today, Bonning.
Why not? Mr.
Rhinewood likes to keep his eye on things, through mine.
My coach told me about your concern for my quarterback.
Good.
- Then we have an understanding.
- No, we don't.
I don't want you meddling around here, you understand that? Now, if Rhinewood doesn't like the way I run this team, he's got a bona fide offer from me to buy back what I sold him.
- Is that it? - No.
You stay away from my players and stay away from my coach.
That sounds like an order.
It is.
I just got back from a meeting with Daddy and Jeff.
I'm glad to see somebody has something to celebrate.
Don't tell me.
You just won a free trip to Omaha.
I just got married.
Fallon? Sammy Jo? Yes.
And you're just in time for a little toast.
Well, maybe just a little.
Oh, Steven.
Not that girl.
That girl is my wife.
Well, she's very pretty and very sexy, but you have to talk in a marriage too.
A grown-up talk, hopefully.
Sammy Jo is smart in what's interesting to me.
She can make a bed without a wrinkly sheet.
Fallon, I love her.
Can't anybody understand that? I love her.
Well, it does happen to some of us.
The lucky ones.
I wish you luck, Steven.
I mean it.
Off to the hounds already, I see.
No, I was actually going riding.
Marie, would you get those bottles of champagne I ordered, please? I asked Jeanette if I could borrow Fallon's riding clothes.
I don't think she'd mind.
I mean, we're kind of sisters, now that I'm married to Steven.
You did hear about that? Yes, I heard about that.
I was thrilled to bits.
Alexis, I guess I could call you Mother now.
Okay? No, it's not okay.
Neither Alexis nor Mother is okay.
I'm Mrs.
Carrington.
You will remember that, won't you? Sure.
That's easy.
Mrs.
Carrington.
That makes three of us now.
- Who is it? - Alexis.
Come in.
I figured you'd show up sooner or later.
Well, considering what's happened between my son and your niece, of course I've shown up.
Now, about this ridiculous marriage.
- What about it? - It's all your fault.
Is it? Good.
Well, don't tell me you give it your blessing? I've always been a pushover for true young love.
True young love.
Tell me, just how old or how young is your little niece? Why? Because I want to annul this travesty that my son has become involved in.
My niece is of age.
So I guess that settles that.
Don't try to overwhelm me with your cool, my dear Krystle.
And don't try to tell me that you really approve of this-- This child marrying into the Carrington family.
Oh, I see.
Now I understand your peculiar behavior.
You're obviously far too upset by that picture to be able to think realistically about anything.
Including the problem of Steven's mistake.
I'm thinking about you and my husband.
Yes.
I would too if I were you.
Think what you like, Krystle, about Blake and me in ltaly together for those few days.
And think that maybe, just maybe, we're two people who were really meant for each other.
Hello.
Hello, Nick.
It's Krystle.
Alexis was just here.
I have to see you.
I kept clinging to a shadow of a doubt with Blake.
How did you feel about that? I knew he'd been manipulative in business.
But I just didn't wanna face the fact that he could be that way with me.
I didn't want it to shatter the dream I had that love and trust always went together.
He went to bed with her, Nick.
Alexis as good as told me, and that makes me feel even less a woman.
Say it again, Nick.
What you said this afternoon, please.
I want you.
I need you to be with me, Krystle.
I'm going to Blake right now.
And I'm gonna tell him face to face.
I want a divorce.
It wasn't a very pleasant interlude this afternoon with Bonning, but I suppose you gotta expect that when you have partners.
- Well, how was it resolved? - That's just it, it wasn't resolved.
They're a tricky bunch.
They can be pretty rough.
But I can play that kind of game as well.
Are you gonna have dinner at home with us tonight? Sure.
If anything, to celebrate the news about Steven.
What news about Steven? Watch out! Blake? Thank God.
Blake, are you all right? Yeah.
Yes, I think I am.
Except - Jeff, where are you? - I'm here, Blake.
I can't make anything out.
My God, I can't see.
I can't see anything at all.
