Dynasty s02e22 Episode Script

-What's that? - I don't know.
What the hell is Alexis up to now? Come in.
- Blake.
Good morning.
- What the devil is going on out there? Oh, that.
That's preparations for tomorrow.
Preparations for what, damn it? For my wedding to Cecil.
The ceremony, of course, is going to be in church, but we're going to have the reception here instead of the St.
Dennis Club, on the lawn, right here.
Are you insane? No, I'm just in love.
With Cecil, with life.
Have you no decency at all? Questions, questions.
Blake, you know I could never bear answering questions so early in the morning, remember? Oh, I know what's bothering you.
If the music's too loud, you and Krystle can always just retire to your boudoir and close the windows.
Unless, of course, you'd care to join us.
Understand? No, I don't understand.
Is that all you can do? Wonderful, wonderful.
That was Laird.
He's talked to three judges.
He's asked each one of them to issue an injunction blocking our road down to her studio.
Each one of them has turned him down.
Oh, no.
- More coffee, darling? - Thank you.
You remember Rashid Ahmed, that conniver I made the tanker deal with in ltaly? Yes.
He's due in town today from London for a meeting with me.
I don't know what it's about, but whatever it is, right after that, what do you say you and I go up to Sky Crest for a couple of days? I've had my eye on that dude ranch for some time.
I may wanna buy it.
Sounds great.
Anyway, it'll give us a chance to get away from this farce, this carnival.
By the time we get back, my ex-wife will have folded her little wedding tent and gone away.
For good, I hope.
What are you doing here, Mother? Setting up a circus for underprivileged children? Oh, darling, haven't you heard? This is where Cecil and l are having our wedding reception.
What? There, you see? You're surprised.
Well, that's the whole point.
Down with dreary receptions, up with surprises.
By the way, why haven't you and Jeffrey replied to the invitation that I sent you? Jeffrey, who doesn't wanna be within a hundred miles of his uncle? Or this wedding.
Is that how you feel too? Because if it is, it really upsets me.
Fallon, please try and come.
A lot of your friends will be there.
Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you? My friends would see me here and then take that as my stamp of approval on your humiliating Daddy.
Your daddy has nothing to do with this.
Well, neither do l.
I think you're being outrageously tasteless.
Come in.
- Joseph, come in.
- Hello, Dr.
Toscanni.
Before you see Mrs.
Blaisdel, there's something I think I should tell you.
During the drive here, she seemed to ramble on a great deal.
Rambling? In what way? Well, it sounded almost biblical.
That life is eternal.
It ends and then begins all over again.
She wouldn't let go of it.
Said it over and over again, like a litany.
I see.
I appreciate your telling me, Joseph.
Thank you.
Susan? Hi there.
I thought I told you my son is not to be left alone.
Mrs.
Colby, I was only out of the room for a few moments.
Please remember I'm a registered nurse, not a bonded slave.
Now that you are here, do you mind if I go downstairs for a cup of tea? Oh, it's okay.
Mommy's back.
And little Blake's got her.
- Morning.
- Hi.
Did you just come to say hello? Yes, to my two treasures.
- May I hold him? - Sure.
- He does resemble Jeff, doesn't he? - Oh, I don't know.
He's got your eyes.
I think he's got your chin too.
Strong chin.
Fallon, why don't you avoid all this wedding craziness and take this blessed little package and his nurse and come up to Sky Crest with Krystle and me for a couple of days? You don't want to, do you? Well, it's not that I don't want to, but, I don't know, I was kind of enjoying settling in here with the baby.
I think I'd like to stay here with him for a little while.
Of course.
I understand.
But I'll miss you, even for a couple of days.
Have you heard from Steven yet? No, I haven't.
I don't think we're gonna hear from him.
Not for a long time.
As much as I love him, I know how much he hurt you.
I want you to know that your grandson is not going to hurt you, not ever.
He's gonna know what it means to be a Carrington.
What a privilege it is to be a Carrington.
Gotta go.
- Good morning, Blake.
- Morning, Jeff.
I'm going to be getting to the office late today.
Well, sure.
Why don't you take the day off? You deserve some time off anyway.
Fallon.
I want you to tell Miss Farragut I want the baby dressed and ready to leave with me in 20 minutes, understand? What are you talking about, Jeff? The baby's on a schedule.
You can't just take him away on a whim.
Oh, no? Try me.
Claudia, be still.
Good.
It's healing nicely.
Except you're gonna need a little more time to become totally well.
I know a mountain retreat, beautiful grounds, good staff.
And I suggest that-- Why don't you use the correct word, Dr.
Toscanni? "Sanitarium," right? I'm familiar with the word.
I'm familiar with the places.
Remember, I spent nearly two years in one.
Claudia, it's important, your being there.
Now, I can make the arrangements.
Say yes, please.
Yes, please.
Small joke.
All right, I'll go.
Whatever you say.
Joseph should be back in a few minutes to pick you up.
- The visitors' lounge is down that way.
- I remember.
Nurse McKale, call 985.
Nurse McKale, call 985.
A mountain retreat.
Liar.
- Are you sure he's warm enough? - I'm sure.
- Wait in the car, Miss Farragut.
- Of course.
You're Colby, right? - Yes, that's right.
- The one who married a Carrington? - Who are you? - Well, I'm the caretaker here.
Where's Mr.
Helmsley? He's retired now.
But he told me all about the well-to-do and famous Denver people buried here.
That your kid? Yeah.
He's gotta be the richest kid in Colorado.
I bet you keep him under lock and key in that mansion.
Got guards crawling all over the place, huh? Just make sure there are fresh flowers the way Mr.
Helmsley used to, okay? Oh, sure, Mr.
Colby.
I only work part-time, but I'll do my best.
Now, you take good care of that little fella now, you hear? Dad, this is your grandson, Blake Carrington Colby.
You see, we named him for Blake because he's Fallon's father and he's been very good to me.
But I want my son to know that he has two grandfathers.
That he has Carrington blood and Colby blood.
Now, he hasn't been with us very long, but I love him so very much.
And I'm going to give him everything I can.
But not in privileges of wealth, rather in a father's caring for his son.
Things like being with him when he's sick and needs me to hold his hand and tell him everything's going to be fine.
Things like playing ball with him when he wants to play.
Studying with him when he needs help with his schoolwork.
Simple but priceless things, Dad.
The kind of things we never had a chance to share together.
I love you.
And my son will love you through me.
Always.
Fifty, 1 00, 50, 200, 50, 300-- Just a minute.
Come in.
I looked all over the hospital for you.
What happened? I forgot I had to get something at the drugstore, so I just took a taxi home.
I'm so sorry, Joseph.
I see.
Would you like some company? Sure.
Jeff, do you remember when I used to follow you around when we were kids? For all of about six months, maybe.
Yes, I remember.
Well, I followed you today.
You what? I didn't know where you were taking the baby, so I followed you to the cemetery, and I heard what you said.
And I'm sorry about what I said.
I mean, our son is a Colby.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
Well, I guess I came on kind of strong too earlier.
And I'm sorry too.
I'd like you to go with me somewhere today.
Oh, yeah? What have you got in mind? Well, are you ready for this? How about the rectory? Now, I made an appointment with the Reverend Carlton about christening our son.
And I'd like you to go with me.
Oh, Jeff, Reverend Carlton's such an old stick.
Well, he baptized the both of us.
I'd like him to baptize our son.
Now, what you would you prefer? Would you like me to meet you at the house or meet you over at the church? Last time we did business together, Rashid Ahmed kept me sitting in ltaly for three days.
Well, I'm not gonna sit still for it this time.
When he shows up, will you find out what he wants and then call me? Sure, Blake.
- Yes? - Mr.
Carrington.
Mr.
Ahmed has just arrived.
Send him in, please.
Well, I'd better leave the two of you alone.
Who are you? I am Farouk Ahmed, Rashid's brother, here as his emissary.
Why didn't he come here? Reasons, Mr.
Carrington.
But we are very close.
And I have brought with me the necessary documents and the power to handle this extremely attractive deal that I have come to offer Denver-Carrington.
Now, what is this very attractive deal? Perhaps when we talk of price, you will be more interested.
One million dollars in cash for what is worth 20 million.
All right.
Tell me, in specifics, exactly what this deal is about.
It's a way for both parties to make profits, large profits.
One of those parties being your brother.
Tell me, why is he suddenly sweetening the pot so nicely for me? He respects you, Mr.
Carrington.
Your intelligence, your business acumen.
Mr.
Ahmed, what kind of a bind is your brother really in? I mean, how deep is the sweat? - What did he do? - I'm afraid I don't understand you.
You don't? Well, perhaps I'll be able to help you.
Maybe, just maybe, he didn't give the general his half of the deal that we made in ltaly.
Possibility? Maybe he didn't pay the general all those Swiss francs that he was supposed to pay him.
Possibility? So now he's trying to shake me down for the money he needs to save his skin.
Mr.
Carrington, listen to me.
No, I will not.
I think we've talked enough.
Mr.
Carrington, please.
I love my brother.
I'm touched by your story.
Would you mind getting out? I could lose my brother because of you, Mr.
Carrington.
How would you feel to lose someone close to you? Get out of here.
This I promise: The day you find out how it feels, I will smile at your agony.
One word from you could have saved my brother's life.
One word.
Yes, hello.
This is Dr.
Toscanni.
Are you still expecting Mr.
Ahmed today? He just checked in? Thank you.
Dr.
Toscanni has arrived to see you, Farouk, effendi.
Where's your brother? He's not here, doctor.
He's still abroad.
I see.
Well, I guess I'll have to deal with you, won't l? Seeing as I've been given the runaround by the both of you.
You shouldn't get angry with me, doctor.
When you visited my country, I was the one who allowed you to visit your brother at the prison.
To find him dead.
No one knew it had happened at the time.
Please.
Coffee? Now, you listen to me.
Nobody can bring my brother back to life, but I can bring his body home now, damn it! I've been cabling and writing for over a year.
Now, why wasn't his body returned the way I had arranged when I was there? Why?! Well, at that time, there was a coup in progress.
- And-- - And what? And the body was buried.
- Where? - In a grave with other bodies.
You scum! You killed him! And you wouldn't give me the right to give him a decent burial, you scum! You-- You scum! You scum.
Doctor, if anybody killed your brother, it was the man who was in my country when your brother was arrested.
The plunderer.
The thief who ripped my country apart.
The liar.
I don't know what he told you.
- Who the hell are you talking about? - Who? Your brother's employer, Mr.
Blake Carrington, that's who.
Your brother was arrested smuggling drugs.
We told Mr.
Carrington about it.
We made it very clear to him that a certain sum of money could erase the documents that had those charges written on them.
He didn't reach for his checkbook.
And there are more things I can tell you about Mr.
Blake Carrington.
And your brother.
Ugly things.
Well, darling, this is it.
- Buy it.
- Just like that? Okay, let's change into our riding clothes, take a look, and then buy it.
You know something? You'd make a great businesswoman.
Almost as great as you are in the kitchen.
No, I love your Spanish omelets.
- Where's Blake? - He's on his way up to Sky Crest.
Hang on a second, Dr.
Toscanni.
I want you to know that Fallon and l are gonna take a stab at making our marriage work.
So take this as a warning: Stay out of our lives.
- Is that it? - No, that's not all of it.
The last time I took a swing at you, you said, "One punch per customer.
" Well, if I catch you near my wife again, I'm only gonna need one.
Come off it, pal.
You don't have a wife.
You've got yourself a Carrington.
And about your baby, does it really belong to you? Or is it like everything else in that mansion, in this building, and practically everywhere you look? Is it another possession of Blake Carrington's? You know, I'm very impressed with what I've seen of this place.
Darling, that trail up to that top there looks kind of tough.
Why don't you go back down? I think I can make it easier by myself up there.
Are you sure you wanna go up there? It gets dark early this time of the year.
I'll be back long before that.
Besides, I wouldn't consider buying this place without seeing it all.
Darling, it's getting cold up here.
Why don't you go back down to the lodge, order some hot buttered rum, and tell the barman to keep one warm for me? And if you get very lonely, just give me a holler on the walkie-talkie.
- I'll gallop right back down.
- Okay.
Do you honestly believe that I'd be stupid enough to tell you any of this if my hands weren't clean? Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Nick.
- What are you doing here? - Looking for your husband.
Why? Has something happened to Claudia or the baby? Oh, no, they're fine.
I just have to talk to Blake.
I can reach him by radio.
He's up riding Scorpio Trail.
Oh, that's all right, never mind.
I'll catch up to him.
He's on his way to see you, Blake.
What'd you say? Blake, Nick Toscanni's on his way up to see you.
Nick Toscanni? Why? I don't know, darling.
But whatever it is, don't be too long.
I miss you.
Okay.
Such a tiny little bundle, and worth so very, very much.
It hardly seems fair, does it? Miss Farragut, would you come downstairs and help me? What's the matter, Joseph? Mrs.
Gunnerson just cut her finger and I can't seem to stop the bleeding.
Hey, Al, what are you doing here today? - Mind your own business, Frank.
- Okay.
Now, make sure you order plenty of ice to keep the caviar chilled.
Darling, Mr.
Jensen's been in the catering business for years.
Come on, let's go back to the studio.
I want you to see my wedding dress.
I've already seen it, Alexis.
Well, I know you've seen it on me.
Now I want you to see it off me.
Oh, it's such fun.
- Hi.
- Claudia.
- How are you feeling? - Oh, I'm fine.
- You're home early.
- Well, I'm here to pick Fallon up.
You're here to pick up your wife, the way I picked you up.
Claudia, I didn't exactly turn you down, did l? - And I want you to know that-- - I know.
We're still friends.
Well, that, and I wish you well.
Please don't pity me.
I never expected any future with you.
I'm not pitying you, Claudia.
I just hope you find someone soon so you won't have to be alone anymore.
Alone? Well, I won't be alone.
But thank you.
That's sweet of you.
Really.
You're a sweet Colby.
There are some.
Mark Jennings? You found Mark Jennings? Are you absolutely positive, Mr.
Hess? Why would I lie to you? He's here in New York, all right.
Oh, splendid.
That is-- That is splendid news.
Is he living there permanently? He's not on the run or anything? I can reach him if I want to? Absolutely.
I have his address.
Do you want me to talk to him? No, no, no.
I'll handle him.
You just get back to Denver as fast as you can.
I'm going to double your fee, Mr.
Hess.
There's going to be a large fat check waiting for you.
Well, thank you.
I have such a lovely surprise for Krystle and Blake.
I have finally located Krystle's one and only and current husband.
And now, darling, back to us.
How about a little prenuptial rehearsal, as they say? Wow, Nick, this is a surprise.
Must be pretty important to get you all the way up here from Denver.
For this, I would have come all the way back from hell.
- What are you talking about? - About you and my brother Gianni.
Farouk Ahmed told me.
He told me, Blake, that you were in that miserable country when my brother was arrested and that my brother sent you a personal plea for help which you ignored.
Don't you understand? Ahmed is lying.
You ignored him, you murderer! You ignored it because it would've jeopardized your lousy oil deal.
I told you.
Everything I told you was the truth.
I was in lndonesia when that cable arrived about your brother dying, and I was in the country when he was arrested.
And you didn't lift a finger to help him, you lying-- Now, I couldn't help your brother.
I had no power to intervene.
I did call our State Department to try to get them to reduce the sentence.
I had no way of knowing that he was gonna hang himself.
You lie.
Now, you listen to me.
I'm sick and tired of your insane need to blame somebody else for your brother's death.
Face the fact.
He was no innocent victim.
He was involved with drugs.
Now, you listen to me once and for all.
You leave me and my family alone.
Wait till this kid of ours hears about the kind of christening party he's going to have.
Little Blake, your debut into Denver's high society, very gala.
You'll have to learn how to yell for Reverend Carlton.
- Susan.
- What's the matter? Well, where is she now with the baby? Well, they gotta be here someplace.
Let's go take a look.
- Joseph, have you seen Susan? - Yeah, she was in the kitchen.
- When? - Not too long ago.
Let's go check.
I'd say it was about 1 5 minutes ago.
She took care of my finger.
- How long was she down here? - No more than five, six minutes.
I'm sure she's back in the nursery by now.
Susan? Susan? - Where are they? - There are 48 rooms in this place.
- They've gotta be in one of them.
- This is the baby's room.
Why aren't they in the baby's room? I'm getting scared.
- I'm really getting scared.
- We'll go find them.
Come on.
Before I left town, I told you what to do.
Now, you go get what I want and bring it to my house and keep your mouth shut.
Nick.
Nick.
- You're hurt.
What happened to you? - I took a fall.
Well, I'm not as good a rider as I thought I was, I guess.
Did you see Blake? No, I didn't.
I looked for him.
I couldn't find him, Krystle.
But I talked to him.
He knew you were coming.
Yes, well, it's a big mountain.
Well, I don't see how you could have missed him.
Do you think something happened to him? Goodbye, Krystle.
Mark Jennings.
Krystle.
And all the Colby wealth and power.
I finally got everything that I've wanted.
Everything I've been planning for.
And it's all going to be ours, darling.
The whole world is going to be ours.
I can't breathe.
I can't breathe.
Cecil.
Cecil.
Cecil.
Don't you dare die on me.
Cecil! You can't die on me, we're getting married tomorrow! You can't die on me, Cecil.
- I need you.
- My chest.
Don't you die on me! I need you to get Blake.
Cecil.
Cecil.
Blake? Blake? Blake, it'll be dark soon.
They say a storm's coming.
Blake, can you hear me? Blake? Where are you? Blake? Blake, please answer me.
Please.
Blake? Blake, please answer me.
Please.
Susan.
Claudia.
Have you seen Susan with my baby? Oh, Jeff, here are the keys to your Mercedes.
I borrowed them.
I hope you don't mind, but l-- Claudia, I'm asking you a very important question.
Have you seen Susan with my baby, my son? No, no, I've just been driving around the grounds.
- I hope you don't mind, but - Did you see anybody? Well, I did see a foreign-looking man with a dark beard by the greenhouse.
But I didn't recognize him.
Is anything the matter? Oh, my God.
Has somebody taken him? I'm gonna phone the police.
Jeff.
Oh, no.
Somebody stole my baby.
Oh, God, where is he? Oh, God.
Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Blake? Blake?
