Dynasty s02e15 Episode Script

Krystle? Yes, Blake? Where have you been? In the library, reading.
What time is it? About 1 :30.
I woke up, you weren't here.
I thought it could be morning.
What is it? What's wrong? - Nothing.
- I can hear it in your voice now.
I've been hearing it all this past week, these past days and nights.
The wall between us, Blake.
I mean, we're physically close but emotionally, we're miles apart.
Walls can come down.
When? And what does it take from each of us? We've tried, Blake.
I know you have, and I have too.
Krystle, you know about this Rhinewood thing.
You know how crazy it's made me.
I go through nights like this, where I wake up suddenly half a dozen times, planning.
Planning ways to track him down, make him answer for blinding me.
Maybe I just don't want you to go through terrible moments like that.
I'm willing to share them with you.
You know that.
Blake, I just wanna be a wife to you, but you have to be a husband to me.
It's late.
We both better get some sleep.
All right.
Come in.
Good morning.
This has just arrived from Marcillac's.
Is it for you? No, I didn't order any furs.
Sammy Jo.
Joseph, tell my niece I wanna see her.
- Oh, yes.
- Forward.
- Oh, my fragile little sister.
- Well, I am.
And backward.
- Is that it? - Yes.
Now, look, this is important.
This time, when we move back, I want you to take a deep breath.
- Okay.
- And I want you to lower your back slowly onto the mat.
Good.
Now, when you're pushing the little kid out, I want you to make sure that you relax.
Now, back, way, way back.
Oh, Steven, can't we try this another time? Like maybe when I'm not pregnant? - What? - Nothing.
What is it? I was just thinking, it's not working out here, at home.
I mean, I find myself actually hating it here.
That's an awful thing to say.
I hate it when you get like this.
You see, it makes you sad.
I mean, I seem to have had that effect on people lately.
Dad, our mother.
Now you.
Everybody except my wife.
Well you don't have to worry about her being around here much longer, Fallon.
I'm I'm packing it in by the end of the month, taking off with her.
I mean, you've all made it real clear how you feel about us.
Oh, Steven, that's not true.
You know I love you very much.
How about my wife? I mean, that love's got to include her too, Fallon.
She's a part of me now, Fallon.
Okay, if that's what it takes to make you happy, then you've got it.
I'll try and get to know her.
I'll prove it to you.
Okay.
Get back on that mat.
Yes, I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Morning, Aunt Krystle.
- Sammy Jo, what is this all about? - Well, what it looks like.
A lot of bitty minks made into one big, big coat.
You charged this to Steven.
Well, why not? He happens to be my husband.
Because he happens to have no money of his own.
You do know that.
I've heard.
Well, who did you think was going to pay for it? Blake? Well, he's not.
Because I'm sending it right back, initials and all.
- Look, you can't-- - Just shut up and listen to me.
Now, I want you to promise me that nothing like this will ever happen again.
And if you want something, you'll come to me first.
Is that clear? Are you going to answer me? What's going on in that mind of yours? Well, maybe, Aunt Krystle, that's something for you to figure out sometime.
Like when you're wandering around the house in the middle of the night, instead of being in bed with your husband.
Steven.
Fallon, is Steven in there? A party? To celebrate Steven's marriage to that little tramp? Fallon, you must be joking.
Well, at least the little tramp is a girl.
Yes.
But you know something? Sometimes I think it might have been better had Steven gone on living the gay life.
At least that would've been honest.
Steven is honestly in love with Krystle's niece.
At least, he seems to think so.
And he's a Carrington so we have to support him.
Yes, but that awful girl.
Here, drink this.
Lots of protein.
So about the party.
Oh, Fallon, stop going on about the party.
Listen, mother, you don't have to come if you don't want to, but I wanna do this.
I've been feeling really happy and I wanna share a little of that with my brother.
Is that so awful to wanna share a blessing? Does this blessing have anything to do with your Dr.
Toscanni? Yes.
We talked, finally.
He told me that he doesn't love Krystle.
And after I have the baby and after I divorce Jeff, he wants me to be with him.
So that letter that you loathed really worked, didn't it? It pushed Krystle out of Nick's life.
Now, the end, as I have always believed, justifies the means.
Yes, I think the party is a wonderful idea.
It'll be a grand family occasion.
And who knows, it may even be a celebration for your father and me too.
- Would you like an olive or an onion? - Olive.
Daddy, I know you don't really approve of the party.
- Did I say that? - No, but you look that.
But it's one of the most terrific things about you.
You always show the class to rise to the occasion.
I believe that's what's called, in your territory, a snow job.
All right, all right, I'm snowed.
Now, where do you plan on giving this party? At the St.
Dennis Club? No, I thought I'd give it at the house.
If that's all right with the master.
Fine.
When? Saturday the 25th.
Oh, Daddy, you're terrific.
And one more thing.
I just want you to know something.
Even though you and mother are divorced, I'm very grateful that you loved each other enough once to have had me.
What's wrong? Nothing.
Nothing, why? Well, for a moment, you almost looked angry when I said that.
No.
Maybe it's the frustration of not being able to see that makes me look angry sometimes.
But why would I be angry at you? Well, I'll see you around.
Oh, just one thing, Fallon.
Be sure to include Nick Toscanni on the invitation list, will you? After all, he did save Steven's life.
Well, I hadn't thought of him, but sure.
Now, in this room, this is where Mr.
Carrington should receive his guests.
So we'll have to move this sofa over there somewhere, and then we can move this one downstairs and-- Would you excuse us, please? What are you doing in here? Well, actually, I was waiting for you.
I asked Jeanette or Marie or one of the servants to call you-- I asked you something.
What are you doing in here? Well, I'm helping or I'm trying to help with plans for the party.
What party? Didn't Fallon tell you about it yesterday? No, she didn't.
Well, it's a party to help celebrate Steven's and Sammy Jean's wedding.
It's Sammy Jo.
Oh, yes, I'm so bad with names.
You're not angry that I'm involved, are you? After all, Fallon is my daughter, and Fallon is pregnant and she tires easily.
I'm just trying to help with the organization as I'm sure you would want to.
No, I don't, Alexis.
I don't want to at all.
Surely, you can't mean that.
How will Blake react? React to what? To my telling him that his wife doesn't want to help honor his son or her niece, her own flesh and blood.
Oh, you tell him, Alexis.
You tell him anything you want.
Because it'll only end up serving your own purposes as usual.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Us.
You and me.
How I'm gonna keep on fighting you, Alexis, just like you're fighting me.
And when the war is over, I hope to God you remember who declared it.
Mr.
Carrington, you have a visitor.
Oh, who is it, Joseph? Mr.
Colby.
Mr.
Cecil Colby is seated in front of your desk.
Would you wait outside, please, Joseph? Well.
Nice of you to drop by, Cecil.
What can I do for you? - What do you think you're doing? - What are you talking about? I'm talking about Jeff and this ridiculous notion of yours.
You mean my idea to adopt him? Well, I don't think it's so ridiculous.
I think it's one of the best ideas I've ever had.
- Obviously, you don't.
- What's obvious is this.
First you inveigled my nephew into leaving Colbyco and coming to work for you.
Now you're trying to corrupt him into giving up his birthright.
That distinguished birthright that dates back to making money since and off the War of 1 81 2? His true birthright.
His only one.
The decision to come here was Jeff's.
The decision about whether or not he'll become a Carrington will be Jeff's.
Not mine, and certainly not yours.
You know something? I think Jeff will make the right decision.
If only because I may possibly have given him something that you never could.
A father image that he could respect.
- And emulate? - He could do worse.
Emulate a convicted murderer? Is that what you think Jeff Colby really wants? The death of that young man was an accident.
Who are you to bring that up? You-- A man who'd stab his mother to make a deal.
If I had one wish left to me in this life of mine, I'd ask for it and I'd ask for it now.
Make Blake Carrington see.
How very thoughtful of you, Cecil.
So that I could face him eyeball to eyeball and beat the hell out of him.
Come in.
Hi, Sammy Jo.
- Your hair looks kind of cute like that.
- Thanks.
Did Steven tell you about the party I'm throwing for you both Saturday night? No, he didn't.
Oh, well, leave it to my brother to hold back on social notes from all over.
I don't understand, Fallon.
Well, I wanted to welcome you to our family.
Show you off to our friends.
Are you sure you don't mean show me up? That's kind of a dumb question.
Well, it comes from kind of a dumb girl, doesn't it? I mean, isn't that what you still think of me? Look, I'm giving the party because I love my brother.
I just figured you might wanna be there with him.
So don't bother RSVPing.
What's that mean? Oh, nothing.
I just made it up.
Cecil, darling.
I couldn't have asked for a more welcome intruder.
Hello, Alexis.
I've got some champagne chilling and I hate to drink alone.
I'm not in a champagne mood, Alexis.
Well, then, we'll just have to get you in one, won't we? Is this just a social call, then? I've come for your help.
Ask anything and maybe you shall even receive.
You owe me a favor.
Do l? What? For having helped you with Steven, trying to get him to reconcile things with Blake.
Yes, of course.
Well, what do I owe you? Your help with Jeff.
Alexis, if Blake continues with this appalling notion of adopting my nephew, and if Jeff stupidly goes along with it, dear, your two children are reduced in their inheritance.
A three-way split instead of two.
You realize that, don't you? Well, my arithmetic has always been straight F, but yes, I do realize that.
But aren't you anticipating these problems before they exist? I mean, from what I know of Jeff, he seems like a very sweet young man but he's a rather independent one.
I doubt if he'd let anybody, including Blake, swallow his identity.
- You really believe that? - Oh, yes, I do.
Oh, Cecil, you're such an outrageously attractive man.
But you'd be so much more attractive if you didn't take life so seriously.
Look at that worry line there.
And look at that frown.
Where is the frownless charmer that l threw pillows at all those years ago? When you were as incredible-looking as you are now.
Oh, two sips and listen to you.
You're still the single most beautiful woman I threw pillows back at.
Before or since.
Including matinees? Dr.
Costello to Operating Room 1, please.
There's a small problem, Dr.
Toscanni.
Oh, what's that? These records are not exactly complete.
I got this from the Department of the Army in Washington D.
C.
It's about your war service record in Vietnam.
And it appears to contradict your reason for switching from neurosurgery to psychiatry.
Look, Mr.
Crayford.
Why don't you just level with me? You've got the facts in front of you.
What does it say? No, wait.
"Toscanni lost his patient on the table, blames himself for performing poorly under the stress of enemy shellfire during said surgery.
The guilt feeling afterwards was notably obvious.
" Is that it? What it suggests, doctor, is that you used the injury to your hand as an excuse never to face the challenge of putting a scalpel in your hand again.
I didn't come here to be psyched out by an amateur.
I came here to find out if there was a job on staff.
If there is, fine.
If there isn't, I've got better things to do than waste my time.
There is, doctor, and it's in the Psychiatric Department.
But the area where we're seriously understaffed is neurosurgery.
Sorry, no choice.
I'm a psychiatrist and the best one you'll get.
Now, do we draw up a contract or don't we? You're on, doctor.
But if you ever decide to cross over, this amateur's door is always open.
Isn't it wonderful how afternoon lovemaking still hasn't lost its charm? Not with you, no.
Oh, are there others that you dally with in the daytime, darling? None as fabulous as you, shall we say.
Let's.
- Do you really have to go? - I'm afraid so.
I know.
You've got a business meeting.
You're going to buy Yugoslavia? Only the Serbian sector.
Alexis.
What you told me about Fallon a few months ago, you were putting me on, weren't you? Darling, why think about the past when the present is so fabulous? Let's just leave the Serbian sector to the Serbians.
All right.
You look absolutely terrific.
- Do l? - Yes, you do.
Sammy Jo, what are you doing? That's your second glass.
The party hasn't even started yet.
I know, Steven, but it's my first big party and I'm nervous, okay? Okay.
- Would you like some help with that? - No.
No, no, thank you very much.
I can manage.
Blake, I don't know what your plans are for tonight.
Well, to enjoy the party.
What else might they be? Are you going to do what you've been doing? Spend the evening on Joseph's arm? Well, no, no, no.
No, we'll greet our guests together and then you can go off and do whatever you want.
Whatever you want.
I'm looking for my studs, okay? Feel free.
Jeff, when you moved in down the hall, did you accidentally throw in my diamond-and-ruby necklace in your stuff? I want to wear it tonight.
Sorry, I'm not into diamonds or rubies these days.
Here, let me help you with that.
Listen, I want you to believe this.
I'm very grateful that you told Blake the truth about us not having any future together.
I'm grateful because it saves me from having to go around play-acting.
So now that we've got all that settled, I want you to know that I think you're really a nice person.
You deserve a girl who will really love you.
Love.
You're in love, aren't you? Well, whoever it is, are you going to marry him after we get the divorce? Marriage.
That's really very old-fashioned.
It's unimportant.
The guy hasn't asked you, is that it? Make sure you're not kidding yourself about this great passion being a two-sided passion.
Look, Jeff, I've worked very hard to make this evening fun.
I'm not gonna let you or anybody else spoil it for me.
The guy loves me, I love the guy, and that's all that matters.
Toscanni.
Tom Crayford, doctor.
I'm calling from the hospital.
- There's been an accident.
- I'm sorry, what can I do for you? Well, Dr.
Osmond needs someone, and everybody else is tied up.
Would you get over here and help out? - No, no, I can't.
I-- - It's an emergency, doctor.
Look, Mr.
Crayford, I told you, I'm no longer into surgery.
At a time like this, anybody that can function is into it.
All right, I'm on my way.
Good evening.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Carrington are receiving in the living room.
Good evening.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Carrington are receiving in the living room.
Did you--? Krystle, I do love that gown.
Well, thank you, Francine.
We're delighted to have you here.
Darling, you remember Francine? I'd recognize that lovely voice anywhere.
So nice of you to come, Francine.
There you are.
This party is supposed to be for you, you know.
Why aren't you in that fib line? You look ravishing, darling.
Adore the facelift.
Thank you.
Well, I'm waiting for Sammy Jo.
She's upstairs getting dressed, still.
I wish you'd help Daddy.
He's in that line talking to people as if he can see them.
Talk about a proud man.
I'm proud to be his daughter.
That was corny.
A little corny, huh? That's the way I feel.
What is it? - What is what? - Well, I don't know.
But every time I mention being a Carrington, you give me this look like I just said, "Here comes a dark cloud.
" Well, maybe there have been times when I haven't been that proud.
You know, somehow, I just don't believe that, Steven.
Now, listen, you owe me one for arranging this party.
So tell me, what is it? Is there some kind of a secret? All right.
You see, I've been checking out our family tree.
I didn't wanna tell you this but back in the 1 830s, a Pennsylvania Carrington was caught shoplifting.
- Really? - Yes.
- And what did he lift? - The Pennsylvania Treasury.
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
- How are you? - Nice to see you.
- Yes.
- Did you take his plane? We have a gatecrasher, Daddy.
Cecil Colby.
- How are you? Good to see you.
- How are you? Good evening.
Darling, you look divine.
Forget it, mother.
Why on earth did you bring him here? Fallon, it's all a question of stature.
Small people nurse grudges, and the Carringtons are not small.
Joseph, have you seen Dr.
Toscanni? - No, he hasn't arrived yet.
- Thanks.
Yes, Blake, I brought Cecil Colby.
Why? Well, because I'd have thought that thanks to that oil deal that you made with Rashid Ahmed and you coming out on top, that you should want all of Denver witnessing your generosity of spirit.
Besides, that grandchild's going to have Colby blood in him as well as Carrington.
Well, I suppose your instinct was right.
As long as he's here, see that he enjoys himself.
Oh, yes, I will.
And I know that you would have thought of it and Krystle would have suggested it, had she not been so busy making plans for the party.
Claudia.
You look Very nice.
Terrific.
Well, whatever.
I bet you're tired of saying whatever by now.
I haven't seen you since your wedding.
I wanna congratulate you.
I'm sure you're gonna be very happy.
I am.
The party's been on for nearly an hour.
I'm giving it for Steven and Sammy Jo and I haven't even seen her.
Would you please go up and get her? I'm sure she'll be down in a-- What is this? What happened to that lovely gown we bought? I decided I didn't like it.
In fact, I hated it.
So instead, I'm wearing this.
Something I bought by myself.
Isn't that the necklace you were looking for? Yeah.
- The job sounds interesting, Claudia.
- It is.
And I keep learning all the time.
That's the best part.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Good evening, Claudia.
How are you? I'm not too pleased.
Those files on oil shale you photographed for me, I had them developed, and the material I'd hoped for wasn't there.
- I tried my best.
- You have to try harder, don't you? Now, what I need, and badly, is Denver-Carrington's extraction process.
That's in a locked file.
I can't even get at the file.
Jeff has the key.
Then, being the bright young woman you are, borrow it from Jeff.
You are bright, Claudia, and attractive.
Very attractive.
Jeff's an attractive man but an eminently unhappy married one.
So just do it.
Discreetly, quickly.
You are anxious to know where your daughter is? Good evening, Marie.
Thank you.
- Fallon.
- Hello, Nick, where have you been? - Working.
- Yeah? One of your patients have a problem? Get you to hold her hand? No, no.
Let's go someplace where it's quiet, okay? Okay.
What are you gonna do? Tell me about this gorgeous lady who delayed you? I wanna share something with you.
Now, listen to me.
I've been at the hospital and they asked me to assist in surgery.
Now, Fallon, I did it.
I did it.
And the feeling was like I don't know, like coming home after being lost, and it was wonderful.
I'm very happy for you.
Oh, are you? Yeah, but not that happy, huh? What's the matter? - Nothing.
- Come on, what's the matter? It's Jeff.
He was letting me have it about the man in my life doesn't wanna marry me.
So I acted like I didn't care, but I do care.
Fallon, listen to me.
I know I wanna be-- Be a surgeon again.
And I know it's gonna take some time and I know me, it's gonna be all-consuming but Please be patient with me.
I want you.
And I want us to be together.
Do you love me? Oh, babe.
You're the only woman in my life.
Hello, Dr.
Toscanni.
No, I wouldn't have guessed who, Fallon.
All those interrupted phone calls, those nights away from home, I never would have guessed with whom.
I'm very sorry about that.
He had to find out sometime.
Let's go to the party and celebrate.
You, your surgery.
Me and my surgeon.
I love you and I don't care who knows it.
Wait a minute.
Thanks, hot rod.
Are we ready? Would you please try to act like a lady, as impossible as that may seem? This party is to honor my son, not to embarrass him publicly.
Hi.
Bored a little? I don't know.
I just wanna get away from here.
Well, that's a coincidence because I feel exactly the same way.
Well, how'd you like to join me for a drink at the St.
Dennis? I've got on a new dress.
Two posh places in one evening? I'd love it.
Great.
Come on.
Well, I'm here, doctor.
What is it? It's been a waste of time for me to think that I could ever really get you out of my blood.
I have to get back.
Krystle You're still the most beautiful woman I've ever known, the most desirable.
I can't believe that routine you handed me.
Those lies.
What routine? What lies? What I was saying was-- Thank God I never let you touch me.
That I was faithful to my husband.
Because I really do love him, Nick.
And that love's the thing that kept me from you.
Your new victim.
She's brittle on the outside, but she's vulnerable too.
Don't destroy her.
Please.
Hello.
- Get in there.
- I'm looking for Steven.
Well, find him later.
Tell me something, my dear little sister-in-law, have you always been a thief or did you just pick up the habit after moving to my house? Oh, you mean the necklace.
I mean my necklace.
Come on, Fallon, I only borrowed it.
Maybe because nobody ever gives me anything around here.
So you just take things? Let me tell you something.
You are what you are: my brother's biggest mistake.
You could try and change that by trying to be a decent human being, try to live up to what being a Carrington really means.
- You find that funny? - Yes, I find that very funny.
I mean, you, high-and-mightying me.
I may only be a Carrington by marriage but you're not even one by birth.
What are you talking about? See, like Steven told me, Blake Carrington isn't your real daddy.
Which makes you what we used to call back home a bastard.
You miserable liar.
You vicious, miserable liar.
Oh, am l? Well, why don't you ask your mother? Afraid, Fallon? What's the matter? Cat got your high-and-mighty tongue? You all right? I'm just tired.
I have a headache.
- I've been getting them recently.
- Yes, yes.
And I've been causing them too, haven't l? Blake.
You walked in here alone.
You're looking at me.
- Blake, you can see.
- Yes, yes, I can see.
It happened just a little while ago.
I told Joseph, and he's telling the others.
I've been looking for you to tell you myself.
No, no tears, darling.
I want you to celebrate this with me.
You said once that you wanted to be my wife if I wanted to be your husband.
That it was up to me.
Well I'm here if you'll have me.
Here you are, Fallon.
I know how you feel, the good news about your father.
It's wonderful, isn't it? Is something wrong? Joseph, where's my mother? In the main hall, I believe.
I wanna talk to you.
Fallon! What is it? What's the matter? Not here.
I don't wanna talk here.
Fallon, are you trying to kill us both? Look, darling, whatever this is all about, and I presume it's about Dr.
Toscanni, no man is worth it.
You ought to know because you know all about men, don't you, mother? - You're obviously drunk.
- You won't answer me that question? Well, answer me this.
Is Blake my father or isn't he? Fallon, what's wrong with you tonight? Just answer me, yes or no.
Because if you don't, I'll kill us both.
I swear to God I will.
Fallon, I can't answer that.
I honestly can't answer it.
Blake could be your father or Or? Mother! Cecil Colby.
Fallon.
Fallon! Fallon! Fallon! Oh, God.
Help! Help! Help, is anyone there? Help! Please, help somebody! Somebody help me!
