Dynasty s02e16 Episode Script

-Good night.
- Good night.
There's so many things I could see again tonight.
Thank you.
I guess the only word is congratulations, Blake.
I'm very pleased for you.
Thank you, Cecil.
You look happy, Krystle.
Stay that way.
I will.
My date seems to have disappeared.
Do you happen to know where Alexis is? Fallon.
Fallon.
Fallon.
Open your eyes.
Please.
Please, Fallon, open your-- Oh, thank God.
Yes, it's me.
Oh, the pain.
Oh, God, it's the baby, I know.
Fallon, just stay here, darling.
Keep warm and stay calm.
I'll get some help.
Stay here, darling.
Don't move, I'll be right back.
Help! Help! Sir, can you help me? There's been an accident.
This is it.
- Oh, it's very nice.
- Yeah.
I told you I had noisy neighbors.
Have you tried banging on the walls? I have.
Didn't work.
Well, you could always challenge them to a duel.
Ten paces at dawn.
Actually, Matthew bought me a gun, and my permit says "for self-protection.
" It's a good idea.
Do you want some coffee or some tea? - Oh, no, no, no, thanks.
- Please.
God, I was in a rotten mood when I left the party.
I'm glad I suggested we go to the club for a drink.
Yes.
Three.
I'm a little bit woozy now, but I'm glad too.
- Well, I guess I should be going.
- Why? Is Fallon waiting for you? Come on, Claudia, I know we didn't talk about it, but I'm sure you've guessed what our situation is like at the house.
I know what it's like.
With Matthew.
Yes.
I didn't realize how late it's getting.
No, it's not.
It isn't late.
It was very good between us at first.
Matthew.
I thought that he would be the only man that I'd ever know.
And then, I don't know, things began to happen.
I guess I began to feel trapped, you know, confused.
I was married really young.
Am I starting to bore you? No.
No, no, no, you're not.
Good.
I'm alone here and So It's nice to have someone to talk to.
I'm tired of talking to these walls.
The concert's over.
Well, listen.
In a minute now, he's gonna say: "Hey, come to bed now.
" Wait, listen.
I I really have to go.
I mean What? Well You're alone too, aren't you, Jeff? - Are you coming to bed or not? - Forget it.
Told you.
Dr.
Kelly to Operating Room 1.
Not a very good party, eh? It was all right.
I've been to better.
I thought I'd come back and check on the Morales boy.
He's doing great, just great.
Yeah, I know.
Part of it's thanks to you too.
You know, for a surgeon who's been away from the table for a while, you didn't get too rusty.
Were you serious about my coming here on staff, not as a psychiatrist, but as a neurosurgeon again? When it comes to running this hospital, I'm always serious.
I'd like to thank you, Mr.
Crayford.
Yeah? For what? That injury to my hand, using it as an excuse never to operate again because I was so damn afraid I'd lose another patient, you nailed me on that.
Helped me to face tonight.
I'd like to thank you for that.
That little boy in there.
When he smiled up at me, you know, that beautiful, groggy smile, I'll tell you, it was like coming home again.
I think you're ready to sign another contract.
Now, why do I have the feeling you've already drawn it up? I wouldn't put it past me.
- Nick.
Oh, God, it's Fallon.
- What happened? We were driving in the car.
She went off the road.
She was driving too fast.
Oh, God, Nick, it's the baby.
All right, listen, she'll be all right.
Nurse, take Mrs.
Carrington.
Give her ten milligrams of diazepam PO.
Alexis, stay here with the nurse.
You'd make a rotten headwaiter.
Oh, I don't know.
I was the best beer-and-pop-bottle opener in Dora's Diner.
Dora's Diner? Yeah, that's the place that I worked at when I was going to high school.
Was Dora pretty? Oh, just about as pretty as her chili.
You know something? I have a feeling that you're prettier than Dora, hard as it is to believe.
Here's to you, pretty lady.
You just shaved.
At 1 :30 in the morning? Oh, I love you.
I love you so much.
It's been so long.
It feels like an eternity.
Say it again, how much you love me.
More than life.
Now, can you match that? I think so.
By showing you how desperately much I love you.
Let it ring.
Right off the hook.
Oh, damn it.
- Yes? Who is it? - Hello, Blake? Blake, it's Alexis.
It's Fallon.
We need you.
Please come.
What about Fallon? Where are you calling from? Memorial Hospital.
There's been an accident.
Please get here quickly, Blake.
You came to be with me.
Yes, I'm here, Fallon.
Hold my hand.
I'm in pain.
I know, sweetie, I know.
It's gonna be all right.
So much.
It's all I have left to hold on to.
Oh, no, Fallon, no.
You're gonna have the baby.
You're gonna be all right and the baby's gonna be all right.
I'll be here with you, Fallon.
Right here.
Plasminate, 500 cc's.
Get her up to OR, stat.
- Doctor, can I speak to you a minute? - Yes.
Blood pressure's dropping, 80/30.
Fetal heart tones are down, the mother's shocky.
She's having an abruption.
We're gonna have to do an emergency C-section.
Is her husband here yet? We haven't been able to reach him.
Her father's on the way down.
We can't wait.
Dr.
Forrester, what are the chances the baby will be alive? Considering what the mother's been through, all we can do is hope.
Dr.
O'Neill, call your exchange.
- Stay with me.
- I'll be here all night, Fallon.
- Nick.
- I'll be here.
Tissue forceps.
Curved Mayos.
Scalpel.
Bandage scissors.
Blake.
Oh, God, Blake.
- Where is she? - She's in surgery.
They're doing an emergency cesarean.
My God.
How did this happen? I don't know.
We were at the house, and she came up to me and she said that she wanted to go for a drive.
So naturally, I wasn't going to let her go alone.
And then, when we got onto the road, I thought she must have had too much champagne or something, because she was driving so recklessly.
How can that be, Alexis? I noticed Fallon wasn't drinking anything at all tonight.
Oh, really, Krystle? I mean, how do you know? Were you with her all night, the adoring stepmother? Well, I'm her mother.
And I know what she was doing.
God, Blake, it was a nightmare.
She went so fast, and I tried to get her to slow down, and then all of a sudden, we hit a curve and we crashed.
Well, you mustn't blame yourself now.
Oh, if only I hadn't let her drive.
At least she wasn't alone, and you did get her here to the hospital.
Now all we can do is pray that she got here in time.
Head's out.
Bulb syringe.
Let's close.
Penningtons.
I'm gonna have to ventilate.
He's not breathing.
Heart tone's dropping.
Ninety.
Eighty.
Seventy.
Seventy.
Seventy.
Oh, come on, little guy.
Come on, little fella.
Eighty.
Ninety.
One hundred.
That's it.
Well, I wanted a cry, just one healthy little cry, but he's too weak.
Take him up to NlCU.
Where are you going? No, I just came back.
I realized I had nothing in the house for a good breakfast.
So there's this all-night shopping plaza down the street, so I just went there.
Claudia, I really think I should be going.
I don't think I should have breakfast here.
Do you really wanna go home? Well, let's say I don't particularly want to, but I think I should.
I really don't want you to.
Not right away.
Why don't you stay with me? Just for a while.
Do I have to say please? No.
Blake, I'm thirsty.
Do you have a quarter? Why, yes, of course.
Thanks.
Dr.
Costelli, call the operator.
Dr.
Costelli, call the operator.
- Oh, Mr.
Carrington? - Yes? - I'm Dr.
Forrester.
- Yeah.
She's gonna be all right.
Thank you.
What about the baby? Congratulations.
You have a grandson.
Is he all right? Well, he's premature, so naturally, he's very, very small.
Tiny.
But he's perfectly formed.
And he seems to be a fighter.
A very good, determined fighter.
Well, naturally.
He's a Carrington.
Then you think the chances are good that he'll make it, doctor? Dr.
Brighton, the pediatrician, thinks he'll make it.
She's usually right.
Well, there's no point in your all waiting tonight.
The baby's in intensive care and Mrs.
Colby isn't in any condition for visitors.
Doctor, I'm her mother.
May I see her? Well, you can, of course, Mrs.
Carrington.
In the morning.
Steven.
Good news.
Fallon is all right and she's had a boy.
Well, congratulations, Dad.
- How does it feel to be a grandfather? - It's wonderful.
Isn't Jeff here with you? No, no, I thought he was here.
Let's call the house and see if he's on his way.
I'll be with you in a couple minutes.
Dr.
Costelli, call the operator.
Dr.
O'Neill, call your exchange.
Dr.
O'Neill, call your exchange.
Well, I suppose you're less than satisfied, aren't you? What are you talking about? That you called me a liar, about Fallon having had too much champagne.
But Blake didn't believe you.
Was I wrong, Alexis? Yes.
Of course you were.
But I'll forgive you.
Will you? Under the circumstances, you must be terribly upset.
Circumstances? Fallon giving Blake what you're unable to give him.
You must feel very left out.
Absolutely shattered.
Where are you going? Back to the hospital to see my sister, like you didn't last night.
What happened? What happened? I was tired.
Dead tired.
So you came upstairs to change, but instead you decided to go to sleep.
That's real caring of you.
Don't you give a damn about anybody but yourself? You know that I do.
I just didn't think I would be of any help.
How is she, Steven? I don't really know yet.
I'll talk to her this morning.
But when I do, I want you there with me.
No, I can't.
That headache last night.
I think I'm beginning to get something.
Maybe a fever.
A very convenient fever.
My sister knocks herself out to give us a party, and you can't even get the hell out of bed to at least tell her that you're happy about the baby, that she's alive, that the baby's alive.
You're really all heart, aren't you? Fallon? Darling, I know it must be very painful.
What is this place? It's a hospital.
Why? My stomach.
Well, darling, you've had the baby.
You've had a beautiful little boy.
Baby? Where is it? Well, he's in an incubator right now, but he's going to be fine.
So are you.
I was driving.
We We had an accident.
Yes, I know, but that's all over now.
Before the accident, she told me about Daddy and you.
- Said that Daddy wasn't-- - Fallon.
Please.
But she told me.
Who told you? Steven's wife.
That little tramp told you that lie? Lie? But didn't you tell me it was the truth? Oh, Fallon.
All I said was that I didn't know whether Blake was your real father or not.
Cecil Colby.
You said Cecil Colby.
Fallon, I didn't know what I was saying.
I was so frightened.
- You said Blake wasn't my father.
- You were driving so fast.
Fallon, please, let's forget everything that happened yesterday.
You took him away from me.
The only thing I ever cared about.
The most beautiful thing in my life, you stole him.
Oh, baby.
I'm not your baby.
I'm nothing now.
I used to be Fallon Carrington.
Now I'm nothing.
I don't wanna see you.
Get out of here.
Oh, Fallon.
Do you hear me? Get out of here.
Do you hear me? If you don't get out of here, I'll have you kicked out.
Thrown out.
Get out.
Get out.
Sammy Jo.
I don't care how you do it, I want you to do it.
Now, listen, there must be somebody on Wall Street-- Which, as I recall, happens to be three city blocks from our New York office.
There must be somebody there who has the answer, and I want that answer.
Is it Logan Rhinewood who's buying up big blocks of Denver-Carrington stock? And if it isn't Rhinewood, who is it? Fine.
Jeff.
Jeff, where have you been? I did a little barhopping last night.
A bender, I guess you and my uncle would say.
Oh, you mean us old-fashioned types? Oh, no, no, I didn't mean it to sound that way.
Oh, my God, you can see.
Yes.
Yes, I can see.
In fact, you might call last night a night of miracles.
Two of them.
I got my sight back and you became a father.
I what? Fallon was in an accident and the baby was delivered prematurely.
It's a boy.
And they're both in good shape.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks, Blake.
Now, look.
Now, why don't you get out of this bender uniform, go up and take a shower and get over to the hospital? Memorial Hospital.
A son.
I'm a wonderful father, aren't l? I finally have a son.
Where was I when he came into this wonderful world? Dr.
Costelli to Operating Room 1.
Doctor, how's the Colby baby doing? Not all that well.
His blood gases are off.
He just can't get in enough oxygen yet.
Respiratory distress syndrome.
Now, I know it's frequent with preemies, but I'll breathe a lot easier when it's all cleared up.
If my son's wife is still asleep, will you go upstairs and have one of the servants wake her up? Tell them to drag that little tramp out of bed.
Mrs.
Carrington, the girl has left the house and I don't know where she went.
Well, as soon as she comes back, you tell her that I am waiting for her in my studio, that I insist on seeing her right away, and that if she doesn't, she will regret it.
You'll tell her that, Joseph, all right? Now, what are you doing here? That's not a very friendly hello.
I mean, I purposely didn't wake you up this morning because I know you didn't get much sleep last night.
Well, I hardly slept at all, but I know this is a very special day for you and I wanted to be with you.
Hello, Fallon.
Congratulations.
Hello, little mother.
How you feeling? I happen to have a surprise for you.
I just saw my grandson.
Did you? You're gonna be able to see him too, by tomorrow.
That's good news, isn't it? I guess.
Now, honey, I know what you've been through.
I know that you're very tired.
But that's all gonna go soon.
It won't be too long before you'll be taking your son home to his nursery, and, to quote his mother: "He's gonna be the most pampered kid in Colorado.
" Come on, how about a little smile from his mother? What is it, darling? Is something wrong? Something I can help you with? I'll wait outside.
Come on, now.
It's just the two of us here.
Come on, now, tell me, what is it? Say, "Yes, Daddy, there's a problem.
" You just said it.
I'm tired and I don't wanna talk to anybody.
I don't wanna talk to you.
Yes, but, Fallon-- Please go.
All right.
She's very disturbed about something and she won't tell me what it is.
Blake, about last night.
At the beginning of the party, Fallon was very happy and in a wonderful mood.
And if something happened to change that I think you ought to talk to Alexis about it.
- Hello? - Mrs.
Carrington? Yes.
Who's this? Morgan Hess.
Mr.
Hess.
Well, you've been very private for a private investigator these past few weeks.
That is what you are, isn't it? Well, I've been very busy on your case.
In fact, I just flew in from Ohio.
I have some interesting information.
Any chance of me coming out to see you this afternoon? Yes.
How about 3:00? That'll be fine.
I'll see you then.
Yes.
And, Mr.
Hess, it better be good information.
It's been a miserable day so far.
Who is it? Sammy Jo.
Come in.
You asked to see me.
Aren't you gonna talk? Yes, I'm going to talk.
I'm asking you loudly and clearly: How dare you throw that lie at Fallon about her father? Me throw it? Wait a second, Alexis.
It's Mrs.
Carrington to you.
Whatever makes you happy.
I heard Steven throw it first.
At you.
And I don't believe it's a lie.
So, what are you gonna do about that? That's a very good question.
And that's exactly the point of this little tete-a-tete.
In plain words of one syllable that you can understand: I want you out of this family.
I want you not married to Steven.
I am offering you $20,000 if you will sign this piece of paper and leave immediately.
And there will be no goodbyes to anybody, including Steven.
Is that clear? What is that? It's a declaration that you and Steven never consummated your marriage.
I don't suppose you know what that means, do you? No.
Well, it means that the marriage can be annulled as if it never existed.
It means that you never slept together.
Well, that's gotta be a joke, and you know it.
Is $20,000 a joke? Look, I love Steven.
From now on, every word that you utter is going to cost you $1,000.
You've just said four words.
That's now $1 6,000.
Hey.
Not exactly a word, but I'm going to count it anyway.
Fifteen thousand dollars.
Tell me something, my little nymphet, is this your way of upping the ante? I'm not talking about money.
I'm talking about Steven and me, and what this paper says.
It's wrong.
We've slept together.
A lot.
A real lot.
Must we continue with this vulgarity? You didn't let me finish.
Go on.
Now, if you wanna make a different deal, I'll take the 20,000 and then I'll leave.
I deserve that much.
What do you mean, a different deal? I wanna use the money to go away someplace for a while and improve myself.
Get some, what you'd call, fancy manners.
Look, I'm not a charitable institution.
I am paying you good money so that you will do what I want, and that is to go away and stay away.
Sorry, but that's it.
Because if it isn't, I'll take this paper straight to Steven and show him how his dear sweet mommy wanted his wife to sign something that would make him out a fag.
You wouldn't dare.
Try me.
Now, you can write me a check and I'll give this back unsigned.
And who knows? Maybe while I'm away improving myself, I'll find someone richer or better-looking than Steven.
Then you can have your divorce, Alexis.
I'm sorry you had to go through this alone, that I wasn't with you.
Doesn't matter.
Well, it does to me.
Well, then, take a guilt trip to Alaska or Chile.
To another woman.
That's what you need, Jeff, another woman, not me.
Last night, when I saw you in the library with Nick Toscanni I did go with another woman.
I spent the night with her.
That's fine.
Now we're even.
But none of that's important right now.
It's our son, he's important.
Now, let's give ourselves some time to straighten our heads out before we go through with any divorce.
I just want you to think about it, Fallon.
Please? I have nothing to offer you, Jeff, or anybody else.
You have a child.
Our child, our son.
I don't wanna talk about it.
I don't wanna see him.
I don't wanna hear about him.
Oh, my God.
A woman who doesn't even wanna see her own baby? I mean, what kind of a monster are you? I'm me.
That's right, you're you.
You're inhuman.
Sammy Jo, where are you going? Away, Aunt Krystle.
As far away as I can get from this house.
Why? What happened? Ask dear Alexis Carrington.
And while you're at it, ask her when she plans to send you packing.
Do you have to do that in the kitchen? Gotta eat, gotta clean this.
So why not both at the same time? Hello, Mrs.
Carrington.
Hello, Tony.
Oh, Marie, could you see that my dress gets pressed? Thank you.
I hope you don't mind my doing this in the kitchen.
I'm doing it for the other Mrs.
Carrington.
She really does love to get out there and shoot.
Tony, do you remember the day I had that accident on Champ? When you fell from him? Sure.
Was she shooting that day? Gee, that was months ago and Yeah, she did shoot.
I remember.
She decided to walk back to her studio, and I had to drive the truck into town for some supplies.
I heard what had happened when I got back.
Thank you.
I'll deliver that to her.
Well, now, you look as if you're armed for battle.
- I am.
- Is it your little niece? Is that it? Are you going to shoot my heart out because I've sent her back to the boondocks where she belongs? Stop the charade, Alexis.
I know.
I know what happened that day I was out riding the horse.
You shot this gun.
It wasn't a car that backfired.
You were out shooting and you saw me riding, and it was no accident.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You're insane.
You were jealous.
Jealous because I was gonna give Blake a child.
And you couldn't stand that, could you? No, no, you're jealous because Fallon's had her baby and that's made you even more paranoid.
Well, I didn't cause your accident, Krystle.
Just as I didn't cause your barrenness.
- So if you've quite finished-- - I haven't.
Get off of me.
If you want a rematch, just whistle.
If you can.
I got the key to Jeff's file, I had a duplicate made, I opened up the file a little while ago and the papers weren't there.
- They what? - They weren't there.
Now, I kept my part of the bargain.
You keep yours.
Where is Lindsay? You promised me that if I did what you said, you would tell me where my daughter is.
No, Claudia, that wasn't our deal.
What are you talking about? If Jeff has removed those oil-shale papers, you'll have to wait until he returns them, then photograph them, it's as simple as that.
What? Or are they still in the file and you're trying to double-deal me? Maybe you don't want to betray your esteemed Blake Carrington.
Yes, you're partly right.
I didn't want to.
I never wanted to.
It was filthy of me, this whole idea.
It was only the thought of my daughter that helped keep some of this filth from me.
Now I'm stuck with the rest of it.
You've made a prostitute out of me.
I taught you how to use sex for gain.
And it apparently upsets you.
It disgusts me.
How naive you are for a bright young woman, Claudia.
Don't you know if you want something badly enough in this world, you have to pay for it? So when I get what I want, our deal will be completed.
Not until then.
Claudia.
No stalling.
It won't help things.
I warn you, it won't.
Who is it? It's Morgan Hess.
Come in.
My God, Mrs.
Carrington.
Are you okay? I'm in the pink.
I meant, is there anything I can do? Yes, Mr.
Hess, you can tell me your important information.
Well, you could say that I've finally earned my money.
How? Where? In Dayton.
I found out that one Samuel Mark Jennings went to Mexico to divorce one Krystle Jennings.
So? So I checked with reliable sources in Mexico.
She probably doesn't know it, but those divorce papers were never filed.
Not anywhere.
Are you telling me that Krystle Jennings is just that? Krystle Jennings.
She's not Mrs.
Carrington? That's correct.
Bigamy.
Where do I find this Samuel Mark Jennings? He's apparently using the name Mark Jennings now.
Where do I find him? That's a problem.
I lost his trail in New York City.
That's a big town, over 8 million people.
Mathematics don't interest me, Mr.
Hess.
Mr.
Jennings does.
So pick up that trail, find him, bring him to me.
I don't care how much it costs.
I've got business with Mr.
Jennings.
