Dynasty s02e21 Episode Script

What happened? You're shaking.
Well, Tony finally admitted that it was Alexis that fired that gun that frightened your horse.
I just had it out with her about our child-- About her killing our child.
I've ordered her to leave.
We're gonna bulldoze that damned studio of hers in the morning.
Blake, you can't.
Don't you realize what she could do to you? You gave her that property.
She owns it.
I don't care about that.
Nothing is going to stop me.
Alexis will.
You're on probation.
She wants you to do something like this so she can get even with you.
Now, Krystle, you've been trying to get her out of here for months now.
And I still do, but not if it means your getting hurt in the process.
Besides, your grandson's coming home tomorrow.
Now, what does that have to do with this? It's such a special day.
Don't destroy that pleasure for yourself, Blake.
You've waited so long for this baby.
I don't understand you.
How you can defend her after what she did to you, to us, to our child.
I'm not defending her.
I hate her.
I'm just afraid of what she can do to you.
Blake, please.
All right, for now.
But I will not let her get away with this, I swear.
I will not.
Mr.
Carrington? Yes, come in, Joseph.
There's a phone call for you from Steven.
Los Angeles? No.
He's here in Denver.
He's been arrested.
- Hello, Steven.
- Dad.
Well, I'm glad to see that you're safe, at least.
What does that mean? That you made it back from Los Angeles in one piece.
After stopping off in more than a few towns and at more than a few bars, as I understand it.
I drank slowly and I drove slowly.
Steven, I'd like you turn around and look at me when we talk.
Did you hear what I said? Now, did you find Sammy Jo? - Yes.
- What happened? It's my business.
Well, we didn't come here to talk about her anyway, did we? I've spoken to the desk sergeant, he's having your bail papers filled out.
It'll take about 1 0 minutes.
He said that you didn't have enough money on you to bail yourself out.
- That's right.
- How come? I was near home and I was just about out of cash.
But you did have enough money in Santa Fe to buy that young man a few beers or whatever.
He bought them for me.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
But you're right.
I was loaded in Santa Fe.
I had 1 00 Carrington dollars to my name.
Don't get smart with me, Steven.
I'm not in the mood for it tonight.
What happened? I told you about it on the phone.
No, you didn't.
All you said was that he tried to blackmail you.
Why don't you finish saying it? How considering my past history, why would I invite a stranger, a man, to drive back with me? I mean, that's the next question, isn't it? I'd be lying to you, son, if I said no.
And you don't lie, do you? No, I don't.
Not to anyone.
I don't have to lie.
Go home, Dad.
I don't need you to bail me out.
Fallon.
Fallon.
I wanna talk.
Oh, Jeff, we've talked practically all night.
What is it? It's still our son.
Now, there are some facts we're gonna have to face about us and him before we bring him home tomorrow.
Well, one fact for sure is, is if we don't get some sleep, we're gonna be too tired to pick him up.
I was thinking about my father.
I still hurt for his loss.
And if we don't give our son a chance to grow up with a mother and a father, we could be hurting him very badly.
Well, it couldn't be any worse than living with our fights.
Maybe.
We just have to forget about ourselves for once and just think about the baby.
I'll think about it, okay? Now can I go back to sleep? Yeah, go back to sleep.
What do you mean you left Steven in jail? Fallon, I am late for a business appointment.
I'd like to have a nice quiet breakfast and get out of here.
Peter, some bacon and eggs, please.
Good morning, Marie.
Daddy, I asked you a question about Steven.
I got Andrew Laird up out of bed at 6:00 this morning to go down to that jail to talk to Steven.
Those eggs are overdone and the bacon is burned.
He talked to Steven and he said that he would represent him in court.
Well, he got about as far as I did last night.
All right, all right, if your brother wants to face this thing by himself, fine.
Maybe it'll make a man out of him.
He is a man.
God.
When are you two gonna get together? What's gonna be the end of this? I don't know.
I wish I did.
For his sake and for all our sakes.
What did you say to him? You must have said something to upset him.
Will you please stop cross-examining me.
And stop telling me how to be a father.
Fallon.
What am I supposed to tell my son today, when he comes home? "Sorry your Uncle Steven isn't here, but as usual, he and his grandfather don't see eye to eye.
" This was supposed to be a happy day.
It will be.
Will it? Come in.
- What is it, Joseph? - It's Mrs.
Blaisdel.
She's demanding that I get her a suitcase immediately.
Suitcase? She says she's leaving for South America to get her daughter.
Call Dr.
Toscanni.
I'll talk to her.
Come in.
Good morning, Claudia.
Oh, good morning.
Joseph said you want a suitcase.
Yes, I do.
I wanna borrow it for a little while.
Actually, maybe longer than a little while.
I'm not sure how far Ecuador is.
It's quite far.
Well, so is China, but-- I mean, people are going there in droves all the time.
It's in all the travel magazines, "Come to friendly China.
" You don't think I should go, do you? Why, I don't think that you should go until you see Dr.
Toscanni.
Until he makes sure that you're strong enough to make the trip.
I'm fine.
There is nothing that's wrong with me.
Claudia, you're recovering from an accident.
Accident? What accident? I don't remember any accident.
I'll tell you what I do remember.
I remember how sneaky you can be.
I remember how sneaky you were with my husband.
With Matthew.
When they took me away to the sanitarium, you took him from me.
Took him from me.
So if this idea of yours is just more of the same, bringing Dr.
Toscanni here to give me his stamp of approval, which you, I know, are going to talk him into not giving me, no, no.
No, the answer is no.
I mean, there's no way I'm going to listen to you or believe you.
Go, please.
I mean, I'm busy here.
You can see that.
How much is it? A medium with mushrooms, Pay the man, will you, Cecil? - You said $7? - Yes.
- Remember, Beppe's 24-hour service.
- Oh, I'll never forget.
- There you are.
Keep the change.
- Thank you.
Well, this is a kinky breakfast that I've invited you to.
Pizza and pink champagne? I think it's marvelous.
Did you bring the pizza up to the champagne or the champagne down to the pizza? - These mushrooms look good.
- Yeah.
Taste good too.
Do you know those damned servants over at the house? They won't let me borrow a thing from the kitchen anymore.
I'm not even allowed to show my face over there.
The other day, I said to Mrs.
Gunnerson that I'd really like to have a loaf of her wonderful salmon pate.
And do you know what the wretched woman had the nerve to say to me? "I'm sorry, Mrs.
Carrington, but I'm not even allowed to give you so much as a graham cracker.
" Well, as it so happens, I loathe graham crackers.
But the cheek of the woman.
Why did you invite me over for breakfast this morning, Alexis? Well, I think that you should be the first to know.
I've decided to accept your proposal.
- You what? - I'm going to marry you.
No kiss for the bride-to-be? I think that can be arranged.
Well, your lips have been known to be more passionate, Cecil.
Even at breakfast? Breakfast, brunch, lunch and midnight suppers.
What was it George Bernard Shaw wrote? "There are two tragedies in life: One is not to get your heart's desire, the other is to get it.
" Or something like that.
I see, so you see our future marriage as a tragedy, do you? Not at all.
But you never fail to surprise me.
I mean, this suddenness.
You've kept me at arm's length, figuratively speaking, for eons.
But perhaps it's the unexpected that makes you so attractive.
So my unpredictability is an aphrodisiac of sorts.
Shall we drink to that? Why did you decide now? Well, maybe I had to get rid of a lot of old ghosts first.
- Why, Blake's not dead.
- Oh, no.
Blake is very much alive.
But you no longer love him.
Love Blake? Don't be ridiculous.
I loathe Blake.
I've always loathed him.
Surprise again.
That must have been the best-guarded secret around.
Do you really think that I would've come back to Denver to testify in that disgusting trial if I had any love left in my heart for him? - I thought things changed after that.
- They didn't.
Sometimes l-- I pretended they did, but I had my reasons.
He's vile, he's arrogant, and I'd like nothing more than to see him destroyed.
Are you serious? Oh, I'm deadly serious.
Well, don't you hate Blake Carrington too? You mean as a business competitor? No, as an anything.
Well, put it this way.
There's no love lost between me and Blake Carrington.
No.
That's good.
That's very, very good.
That puts us on the same side, as it were.
Tell me some more about how much you hate Blake.
I find that very exciting.
There's no love lost between us, and I do something about it every day.
Krystle.
It's okay.
- Claudia's not going.
- No, she's not.
I told her that the healing process is slow and that she's got to give it more time and she finally said all right.
- I didn't know how to deal with her.
- Come on now, that's my specialty.
I mean, after all, I'm still part psychiatrist.
It's like, I was talking to my nephew Joey the other day in New York.
He said to me, "Hey, Uncle Nick, Mom tells me that you switched back to being a neurosurgeon.
That makes you one-third shrink, one-third cutter-upper, and one-third ltalian.
" Nick, I've been wanting to tell you how grateful I am to you for what you've done for Claudia.
And for putting aside your personal anger towards me.
Oh, yeah, that.
Well-- Well, I was angry about that, but-- I mean, after all, what guy likes to get dumped? But your love for your husband was stronger.
I just hope he realizes how lucky he is.
Mrs.
Gunnerson thought you might like to have some fresh clothes to wear.
It's all right, Mr.
Carrington.
I'll have these when you want them.
Despite your feelings in this matter, Steven, your bail has been set.
You go into courtroom in 1 0 minutes at 1 0:30 and I'm going with you.
I told Andrew Laird I didn't want anyone here.
I'm innocent, and that's the way I'm going to plead, by myself.
I don't want any high-priced Denver-Carrington lawyer whispering orders to me.
Steven, plead guilty.
You think I'm guilty, is that it? Did you hit that young man or didn't you? I want an answer.
I don't have to answer to you for anything.
Now, look, if you plead guilty, there will be no trial.
I've been in your shoes.
I don't have to tell you what an ordeal my trial was.
I can handle it.
Are you gonna be able to handle it when they bring up Ted Dinard? This won't be considered simple assault.
It will be homosexual assault.
You did hit that man, and reason or not, you're gonna have to answer for it.
Steven, don't you understand what I'm trying to save you from? And it could be that I didn't have much sleep the night before and I may have been a little grumpy this morning.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay, Dad, l-- Were you able to get in touch with Jeff? - No, I tried but-- - Why don't I phone him and tell him not to come here to the hospital, but to go straight home? - Okay.
- All right.
- See you in the nursery.
- You look happy now.
Oh, I am, I am.
I'm taking my grandson home.
Nick.
- So today's the big day.
- Yeah.
Jeff with you? No, my father is.
Jeff should be at the house by the time I get back there.
I mean, a father wants to be there when his wife and son first come across the threshold.
Does that mean you're back together? I wanna make a life for my son.
With a mother and a father.
I can't argue with that.
Well, too bad, doctor.
Look at the prize package you let go of.
Fallon Carrington Colby, one of the richest girls in all of Colorado.
Get back to your patients, doctor.
Go on, go back to work.
And excuse me while I get back to my life.
Nurse McCale, call 9-8-5.
Nurse McCale, call 9-8-5.
- Hello, doctor.
- Susan.
I heard you were here.
It's good to see you again.
Hospital grapevines never lose their bloom, do they? Not in New York.
Not here in Denver.
Beautiful boy, isn't he? Beautiful, very rich little boy.
Know what his grandfather said during the interview? - What? - He's a little prince.
My God, you'd think we were dealing with royalty.
Of course, you wouldn't feel the same way about that, would you? Oh, come on, Susan.
It's a great job and you're lucky to have it.
You're gonna love living in that beautiful mansion.
I'd rather live in the Toscanni house up on the hill.
I'm sorry, Susan.
It just couldn't work out with us.
You must know that it couldn't.
Attention, everybody, here they come.
This is my son, Blake Carrington Colby.
For two months He's gorgeous.
Do you say that about a boy? Well, I do.
He's absolutely gorgeous.
- Now, Mr.
Carrington? - Now, Joseph.
George, the champagne.
Let me clear it, give me some space.
Let me hold him for a while.
- Be careful, you hear? - Yes, I will, young lady.
I'll be very careful.
Jeff, come on over here.
Didn't you hear what she said? Blake Carrington Colby.
You had a little to do with this too, you know.
Yeah, well, I guess I did.
Well, I have a feeling that a very proud grandfather is about to make a toast.
That's right.
I want all you good people to drink to this splendid child, this splendid prince, this splendid grandson of mine.
To wish him health, happiness and a totally fulfilled life.
- Hear, hear.
- Hear, hear.
Young Blake, this is Jeanette.
She's been with us for a good many years and she's a marvelous woman.
Thank you, Mr.
Carrington.
Welcome to the house, Master Colby.
Gee, look at that.
He smiled at that.
Well, nearly smiled.
Well, I think I saw it too.
Nearly.
This is Mrs.
Gunnerson.
Hello, Master Colby, and welcome.
Is that a way to greet our cook? Are we gonna try and make this work? Yes, we'll try.
We've got to.
I'll have you know, young man, this is an exceptional - Give us a smile, Miss Farragut.
- Please, no-- No pictures.
- Okay.
- Maybe the best cook in Denver.
Maybe the best cook in the whole state of Colorado.
Oh, I'm not that extraordinary.
But thank you, Mr.
Carrington.
And I do make good baby food.
- This is my friend, Joseph.
- And this is from me.
- May I open it, please? - Please.
Steven.
Did everything go all right? I guess so.
Well, come on in and have some champagne.
To celebrate the heir apparent's arrival? Maybe a little later.
Thanks.
Well, you may be right about my thriftiness, but tiny or otherwise, this is definitely not a piggy bank.
- It's beautiful, Joseph.
- That's nice.
- Of course it is.
- It's beautiful.
- Thank you.
- It's not all that much, Fallon.
A not-all-that-much that cost you a good deal of money, I'm sure.
- As a matter of fact, it did.
- Really? Lookit, you're home now.
Give us a smile.
Come on.
Give me one.
No? Okay.
There will be lots of time for that.
We're gonna spend lots of time together, you and l.
I'm all you need now.
You're all I need.
Should I take him, Mrs.
Colby? Yes, thank you, Susan.
I wanna go in my room for a minute.
So, Baby Carrington, you are quite a lucky little boy.
Not all of us have Buckingham Palace to come home to.
- Fallon-- Oh, hello, Susan.
- Mrs.
Carrington.
I just wanted to take a little peek at him.
He looks more beautiful every minute.
May l? He might as well get used to it around here.
There we go.
There we go.
Oh, look at you.
Well, hello, little fella.
Little Blake.
You sure are a lucky little boy.
Krystle, please give my son back to his nurse.
I'd like to talk with you outside for a minute.
- I'm sorry, Fallon.
I just wanted-- - To hold him, I know.
- Well, you did.
- What's wrong with that? Look, Krystle, I don't like you around the baby.
I can handle him.
I don't need my father's wife to help.
I'm not gonna take this as an insult, Fallon, because I think I know what's eating you.
It has something to do with Nick, doesn't it? Fallon, I was never really involved with him, and I'm not now.
And I'm not holding him with any invisible strings.
If you lost him and you wanna know the source, just look into any mirror in the house.
This telex just came in from Ecuador.
My God.
Blake, I'm worried telling Claudia about this-- Not in her condition.
Not now.
I'm worried too, but is there ever a right time for news of this kind? Nick, I promised I would tell her the truth.
I promised I would tell her if I ever got any information about Matthew or Lindsay, good or bad.
Now, I asked you to come over here to pick up the pieces in case she fell apart.
But we've got no choice.
Even the sick have to face reality.
All right, Blake.
Come in.
Oh, Blake.
Dr.
Toscanni.
I'm-- I'm just cutting out these pictures of clothes that I wanna get for Lindsay.
You know, she's at this age where clothes are so important to her.
Claudia.
Yes, I know.
You came to tell me that I can go now.
No, Claudia.
There's no reason to go.
Matthew and Lindsay What about them? They're-- They're gone.
They're gone where? They're dead.
You can't come in here and start lying to me.
Our office in Ecuador couldn't prove anything until now.
We-- Their bodies were found yesterday, Claudia.
They were tossed from Matthew's Jeep.
The reason they weren't found sooner is because they were covered by jungle growth.
He's lying to me.
I want you to tell me he's lying to me.
I have to give you this.
My husband and my baby.
I can't cry.
Yes, you can, Claudia.
Go on, cry.
I can't.
I want to.
I can't.
I knew that they were dead.
I knew it when I read the other telex.
What other telex? When was that? That night.
That night.
Where? At the office.
What happened? The telex machine started ticking.
I went and I read-- I read the message about the missing Jeep.
"No sign of life," it said.
It didn't say dead.
It just said, "No sign of life.
" Go on, Claudia.
I-- I knew that in my heart they were dead.
I just stood there, l-- I just stood there.
And then what did you do? I went back to my apartment and I took the gun out of my purse.
I knew I had to kill him.
Kill who? Cecil Colby.
For using me, and for not giving me the information he had about them.
That's when Krystle came to the apartment.
She saw the gun.
I grabbed it.
- And then what did Krystle do? - Krystle tried to stop me.
She tried to stop me.
If she hadn't I'd have killed him.
Now, that night with Krystle, who fired the gun? I did.
Claudia, you know the police will wanna talk to you about this.
Will you tell them just what you've told Blake and me? I'll tell them.
But I'm not gonna say I'm sorry.
I wanted him dead for what he did to me.
I won't.
I won't.
I won't.
I'll phone Lieutenant Holliman.
And I'll tell Krystle.
I won't.
I won't-- I won't.
I won't.
That's fine.
Thank you, doctor, I appreciate it.
Well, they have a room available for Claudia anytime we need it, Blake.
All right.
I would hate to see her go back into the sanitarium.
I'll tell you something, Blake, I was watching her while Lieutenant Holliman was questioning her, and she's in control now, but I'm not so sure it's total control.
I'll keep an eye on her for the next couple of weeks.
There's time to make the decision.
Nick, how can I thank you? I'll think of something.
Blake.
Rashid Ahmed has been trying to reach you from London.
Ahmed? What does he want? Well, to make no further commitments in the Middle East until he can meet with you here in Denver.
Rashid Ahmed.
A kid gets locked up on drug charges and they forget to notify the people he worked for? I was notified.
They sent me a cable.
But I got it a week later out in the field.
Now, you listen, neither you nor Rashid Ahmed gave a damn about my brother.
- Now, you listen-- - No, you listen.
One word from you could have saved my brother's life.
One word.
What are you doing in here? None of your bloody business.
Answer me, Alexis.
Unless you'd like to see feathers fly again.
I'm here to see the baby.
Are you going to stop me? In this house, I am.
And if you're really that anxious to see him, why don't you phone Fallon and ask her to bring him over to your studio? You talk about him like he's a piece of luggage.
Could you be jealous? No.
Just amazed by you.
For not realizing that you're the one who's excess baggage around here ever since the day you moved into that studio.
My studio.
Yes.
Your studio.
Where you can keep an eye on Blake and me.
Well, you can't taunt us anymore, Alexis, and you know it.
Do l? Well, that's immaterial now, because I've decided to marry Cecil Colby.
Great.
Two of a kind.
A perfect match.
Now, please leave my house.
With pleasure.
You've just given me the most wonderful idea.
The perfect place for Cecil and l to have our wedding reception.
Denver's never going to stop talking about it.
- Mother.
- Steven.
- Darling, welcome home.
- Hello.
I-- I heard about your arrest.
What happened in court today? The judge set the trial for later.
Trial? But didn't you admit that you hit the man? No, I didn't.
But I would like you to admit to something.
You paid my wife to leave here, didn't you? Yes, Steven, I did.
But, darling, I did it for your own good.
She-- She was nothing.
She was a cheap little tramp.
- Darling, you deserved-- - What I got? I picked up a guy and came onto him? Steven, you act like I believe that.
Don't you? Yes, you do.
You know, you're just like the rest of them.
Well, I don't give a damn what you think.
Excuse me.
Steven, your father would like to see you in the library.
Steven, wait a minute.
Steven, I want to talk to you about what it means to be a Carrington.
Come in, Steven.
I thought this was a good time to reassess things, you and me.
You know it's been a very special day for me.
My wife's name has been cleared of suspicion, my grandson is here and my son is back home.
So let's have a drink and talk, shall we? I don't want a drink.
Son, I've allowed you to lead your own life.
So last night, you spent the night in jail.
Today, you were in court charged with assaulting some cheap punk you picked up in a bar.
You offered him a few beers and then you invited him to share a ride with you to Denver.
Well, damn it, aren't you going to say anything? What the hell kind of a childish gesture is that? - I'm not a child.
- I'm not talking-- - What's going on? - Steven and his father.
- I'm going in.
- No, wait.
I don't know if you should.
I don't care.
I'm going in.
What is it you want? What would make you happy? - From you? Nothing.
- What's happening? Now, please, everybody.
Leave us alone.
No.
Come in, Fallon.
Come in, all of you.
You wanna hear it? You'll hear it.
Excuse me, Blake, I've got to talk to Steven.
Steven, I want to see you.
You're seeing me, Mother.
Come join the jury.
You wanna know what's happening here, Fallon? We're judging my life.
About how I shape up as a Carrington.
Right, Dad? Steven, let's go outside, just you and l, and we'll talk about it.
- Don't try and shut me up, Fallon.
- Steven, if you'd just calm down.
Look, I'm through being calm.
I'm through trying to live up to what's expected of me.
Steven, please, don't spoil this day for your father.
No, no, Krystle.
Let him get it out of his system.
Now, everybody, please leave.
This is between Steven and me.
Like hell it is.
You've all been a part of this kangaroo court.
And this defendant could do no right.
"Don't mess with boys, Steven.
Find yourself a girl.
" Okay, I did.
And look how you welcomed Sammy Jo to the precious Carrington circle.
Steven, she deserved no welcome here.
In whose superior book, Mother? Yours? The woman whose husband kicked her out and paid her not to come around contaminating her children.
Steven, don't let the past destroy the present.
Sammy Jo was common trash.
Everybody knows it.
Common trash.
And what are you, Fallon? Uncommon trash? A million-dollar tramp? All right, Steven, knock it off.
Poor Jeff.
Still can't face the truth, huh? That this family is rotten to the core.
- Steven, listen, there's a-- - Stay out of this, Joseph.
You, Krystle, Jeff.
You're not Carringtons.
Even if you have been contaminated by the oil baron, his money, his power, his possessions.
Steven, that vase is worth a fortune.
How much, Dad? Half a million dollars? More than that? Is it worth more than Ted Dinard's life? Are we back to that again? You were there, you know it was an accident.
But my love for him wasn't.
It was decent and it was honorable, but you wouldn't accept that.
No, you had to make me over to fit your image of a Carrington.
I wanted you to be a man.
I am a man, just not your kind.
You know, I'm finally facing up to something here.
I tried to live a lie to please you.
Not anymore.
From now on, I'm gonna live my life my way.
I'm a homosexual, Dad.
I'm gay.
And I want you to face it.
And say it.
Say it.
Steven is gay.
Somebody say it.
Steven is gay.
Where are you going? I'm not sure.
You know what really hurts me the most? Is I hate what you all stand for.
I hate your values, your morals and your blindness.
But I love you.
I love you all very much.
The heir apparent.
The little Carrington prince.
God help that poor baby.
Lindsay.
Lindsay? Lindsay.
My baby.
Life ends, but then it begins again.
