Dynasty s03e01 Episode Script

To recap the local weather picture, a storm warning has been issued for the sky country area with southeast winds moving at 20 to 25 miles an hour.
The front is expected to pass through sometime tonight accompanied by heavy rain.
Blake, it's Krystle.
Can you hear me? Darling, please answer me.
- Blake.
- I know how you feel, Mrs.
Carrington.
My husband's out there somewhere.
We have to find him.
His radio's probably out.
It happens.
Please don't worry, Mrs.
Carrington.
We'll find him before the storm hits.
Darling, answer me.
Say something.
Tell me you're all right.
Please.
I just checked with the gate.
Miss Farragut did drive out a while ago.
Was my son with her? Was the baby in the car? Well, the guards didn't notice.
But there's a police bulletin out on the car.
- Well, why haven't they found her yet? - Fallon, keep calm, please.
She's wearing a nurse's uniform and you gave a description of the car.
What else do they need? What are you doing? Calling Daddy.
- Where is he? - Sky Crest.
Oh, God.
What kind of a woman am l? What kind of a mother am l? I should never have left him alone.
If I hadn't left him alone, my baby would be here safe.
- Come on.
Get ahold of yourself.
- Let go of me.
Look at me and listen to me.
Now, both of us are upset.
I'm dying inside too understand? But giving in to nerves isn't going to accomplish a thing.
I just want my baby back.
If she has him with her, she'll be back with him.
We have to know that.
We have to believe that.
Fallon, there is a policeman here.
Where is he? Where is he? Where is who, Mrs.
Colby? My son.
I left him up in the nursery.
Asleep.
Well, he's not there.
Where is he? What have you done with him? Oh, now, wait a minute.
What's going on here? You don't know? No, damn it, I don't.
I left for the village to pick up a salve for Mrs.
Gunnerson's finger.
I got a flat tyre on the way.
The next thing I know, this officer stops me and brings me back here.
I'd like to know why.
The baby's missing, Susan.
What? You heard him, Susan.
Don't act so surprised.
What are you talking about? You must know where he is.
I don't believe you.
Fallon.
Where's the detective who's supposed to be here? He's not gonna believe you either.
Nurse Halliday, call Radiology.
- Nurse Halliday, call Radiology.
- Dr.
Louden, - is he alive? - Yes, Mrs.
Carrington.
But Mr.
Colby has suffered a massive coronary.
Well, he will live though.
We'll know in a few hours.
You seem to be alone here.
Has his nephew been notified? Mr.
Colby wouldn't want to have his nephew at his bedside.
It would upset him and cause him a lot of tension.
You can't go in there.
Not yet, Mrs.
Carrington.
Mrs.
Carrington? Doctor, in less than 24 hours, I was going to become Mrs.
Colby.
Mrs.
Cecil Colby.
And if anybody on this earth is his reason for wanting to go on living, I am.
So please let me go and see him.
I beg you.
- Who are you? - I'm Alexis Carrington.
Dr.
Louden said that I could visit for a few minutes.
Only a few minutes.
Would you mind leaving us? And take this young man with you if that's possible.
It's not.
Not with a patient in critical condition.
Then would you kindly step aside and let us have some privacy? Roger.
Cecil.
Cecil, can you hear me? It's Alexis.
Open your eyes, Cecil.
Please.
Please try and open your eyes.
I love you so much, darling.
Tell me that you know that, Cecil.
Tell me.
Oh, Cecil, you must get better.
We've got so many beautiful things to do together, darling.
We'll travel.
And you'll be with me and I'll give you my strength.
We'll go to wonderful places.
We'll go to Portofino and Cancun and Tahiti.
And then we'll come back to Denver.
And we'll do what we have to do together.
Cecil? I just have one more favour to ask you, my darling.
Let this union that was meant to be take place now.
Do you understand what I'm saying? Our wedding.
I want it to be performed here.
Now.
In this room.
In this hospital.
Tonight.
Oh, Cecil, you mustn't die.
You must not and you will not.
Cecil, we have work to do together.
We have to get back at Blake.
You and your Alexis.
Who loves you.
Who has always loved you.
And who will love you even more if that's possible.
After she becomes your bride, your wife, your tender comrade.
Blake! Blake! There was something about the man that bothered me, Lieutenant Cobb.
You said he was a caretaker? Yeah.
Can you tell me anything else? Well, I went out to the cemetery this morning with my son to be alone with him at my father's grave.
And this man walked up to us and he looked at the baby and he said how my son had to be one of the richest kids in Colorado, as he put it, and how we must have had a lot of security around the house.
You'd recognise him if you saw him again, of course.
Yeah, yeah, I think I would.
And now, about Mrs.
Blaisdel, she told you about seeing someone on the road near the greenhouse.
Might that have been someone? Lieutenant, you've been at this for two hours now.
Questions.
Might-have-beens.
You're wasting your time.
The woman you should be talking to is Susan Farragut, my son's nurse.
Mrs.
Colby, I must remind you, Miss Farragut did not have the infant with her when we picked her up.
She could have easily handed my son over to somebody.
Yes, we are considering that possibility.
And we are checking Miss Farragut out right now.
We.
And who exactly is we? The esteemed Denver Police? What about the FBl? Why haven't they been called into this? My son has been kidnapped.
Yes, and they will be called.
If there's evidence that the infant has been taken across the state line and if there is evidence.
Evidence that there's a kidnapping.
Where are you going? To call the only man who can handle this, my father.
I don't care whether the minister is still asleep.
I have to talk to him.
So you just wake him up, and tell him that Alexis is calling from the Denver Memorial-- - Mrs.
Carrington.
- Yes? - I'm very sorry.
- Sorry about what? - Is he dead? - No, no.
I just talked to his nurse.
I'll call you back.
What's happened? She told me about your wedding plans.
I won't allow it.
Oh, but of course you will.
I just said I won't allow it.
What you just said just may get you into a bit of trouble around here.
You see, my fiance happens to be on the board of trustees of this hospital.
Right now your fiance, my patient, is a very sick man Iying in a bed in this hospital.
And I won't permit that kind of strain on his heart.
Look, I'm not planning on having a bevy of bridesmaids and a champagne reception if that's what's bothering you.
Oh, I see.
Forgive me.
What you had in mind was just a quiet little bedside wedding.
Just you, your groom and a spare tank of oxygen standing by.
Look, doctor, I think we better get one thing straight between us.
I have every intention of marrying Mr.
Colby.
Well, that depends on Mr.
Colby.
When he gets stronger.
Or if he does.
Blake!.
Blake!.
No one's going to sleep in this house tonight.
It's just like I was, all those nights, those weeks, when they told me that Lindsay-- You know what I've just been doing? I've been in my room and I've been looking at old photographs of Matthew and Lindsay.
They were just pictures that he sent me when I was in the sanatorium.
She was very lovely.
Wasn't she? She was so lovely.
My daughter.
What's the matter? You didn't used to mind when I touched you.
You never minded when we touched one another.
Claudia, my son is missing.
My daughter is dead.
Yours is gone.
Mine is gone.
Both of us are alone, really, but I mean, we're without our children.
We're without anyone, really.
Would you hold me? Would you just kiss me, please, please.
I don't understand.
What's the matter? I mean, you slept with me when your wife wouldn't sleep with you, didn't you? That first night, didn't you? Yes.
You went to bed with me.
Yes.
You said you cared for me.
I did.
- And you-- - I what? What? I took your keys.
Oh, yes.
For your uncle.
Because your uncle wanted the papers.
He wanted Blake's papers.
Oh, yes.
Well, look what's happening now.
God's punishing him now.
He's in the hospital.
He's gonna die.
I'm glad he is gonna die.
Because he knew about Matthew.
He knew about Lindsay.
He wouldn't tell me.
And I could have gotten to them.
I could have been with them.
And I could have saved them.
And God is punishing him.
Claudia, please.
Punishing you.
He's punishing your uncle.
He's punishing your child.
All of you.
Excuse me, Mr.
Jeffrey.
Lieutenant Cobb just got here.
He has some information about Miss Farragut.
Thank you, Joseph.
That's right.
Keep it up.
Keep it up.
It's just a little rain and some noise.
It won't hurt us.
Blake!.
Blake!.
As a nurse, I'm used to being up at 3 in the morning.
As a cop, I can say the same thing.
I was up waiting for a sheet on you from New York City.
N.
Y P D.
Was it worth the wait? Very much so.
For one thing, I found out that you lied to me yesterday when we had our little talk.
Lied about what? About why you left the hospital where you were working and moved out here to Denver.
The New York Police have you listed as a convicted felon, Miss Farragut.
Go on.
You didn't purchase that very expensive gold cigarette lighter at Cartier's on Fifth Avenue, Miss Farragut.
Is that true? I didn't know what-- I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.
I didn't know what I was doing at the time.
Were you under some sort of emotional stress? Yes, I was.
Well, why don't you tell me about it? - I'd rather not.
- I'd rather you did.
You can either tell me about it now, lady, or maybe you'd prefer telling me downtown after I booked you on suspicion of kidnapping.
I stole it for a man I was in love with.
He didn't love me.
But I'd given him everything else there was to give.
Who was he, Miss Farragut? That's my affair.
Or ex-affair.
Who was he? He was a doctor.
Dr.
Nicholas Toscanni.
You followed him out here? Miss Farragut? Yes.
But I swear I don't know anything about this.
What's happened to the baby.
But I'm so sorry for you, Mr.
Colby.
I'm so terribly sorry.
All right, you can go now.
But don't leave the grounds.
Not now and not in the morning.
Toscanni.
I saw him yesterday in Blake's office.
Just before he went up to Sky Crest to see Blake.
And? Well, I'd forgotten what he'd said but-- He said, "Does your son really belong to you or is he just another possession of Blake Carrington's?" The thing is, when he said it, there was hate in his eyes and in his voice.
Pure hate.
Oh, my God.
Les, I feel fine.
Sure, Blake.
I know.
There's nothing like a few scratches and a possible concussion to bring out the best in us.
I don't even have a headache.
Try telling that to the x-ray machine you just met.
- Now where are you taking me? - To your room.
My room? I am not staying here.
Oh, but you are.
At least until I can complete my tests.
- You'll be out of here in the morning.
- Just a minute.
Wait a minute-- Krystle, did he or did he not insist on being taken here to Memorial so that he could receive the best possible care? - Namely:.
Mine.
- That's right, Les.
He did.
So that, I imagine, settles that.
Dr.
Davey, call the operator.
Dr.
Davey, call the operator.
You've heard about Blake already? What happened to him? Do you really care, Alexis? Yes, of course I care.
I was married to him.
He is the father of my children.
Are you gonna tell me what happened? What happened wouldn't have happened if you hadn't arranged that wedding circus on our lawn and driven us out of town.
Nurse Staunch, to Paediatrics.
And most important, I want you to see to it that this man does not-- Now, I repeat, does not try to escape.
I'll have guards posted at the door, Dr.
Osgood.
Round the clock.
Blake, watch out for Mrs.
Kent here.
She's one tough broad.
One tough person, doctor.
That's what I meant.
See you later, Blake.
- Goodbye for now, pretty lady.
- Goodbye, Les.
Doctor, I'd like to have a word with you please.
Pretty lady.
Blake.
Oh, thank God.
Thank God.
Come on now, darling.
Come on.
Oh, I thought I might have lost you last night.
I didn't know if you were hurt or even alive.
Alive? Oh, I'm very, very much alive.
After that, I'm sure you'll agree that I should get out of this place and that we should go home where the two of us can be alone.
Oh, no, you're staying right here.
In the meantime, I'll phone the house, let everybody know you're here and that you're all right and nothing's to worry about.
Why don't you use this phone here? Because I had it disconnected.
I know you, darling.
You'd wanna talk to the office and half the household, including your grandson.
Especially your grandson.
Krystle, I love you.
I love you too, Blake.
So much.
Some horseman.
Spent half the night in the mud.
No wonder Nick Toscanni couldn't find you.
Toscanni? What are you talking about? He told me he went up the mountain to find you yesterday.
Well, he found me.
We talked.
He told me he didn't see you.
Why would he tell you that? Now, what the hell is he up to? I'll get it.
Jeff Colby speaking.
Jeff, it's Krystle.
I just wanted you to know that I'm at Memorial Hospital.
Blake had an accident but he's gonna be all right.
Fallon's been trying to reach him all night.
Why? What's happened? - It's the baby.
He's been kidnapped.
- Jeff.
He's gone, Krystle.
He's gone.
I-- Look, I've gotta hang up.
There may be a call.
Goodbye.
Jeff? Krystle, I just want you to know that I am not going to accept the blame for whatever it is that happened to Blake.
And what's more, I am sick and tired of being blamed for anything and everything that happens to either him or you - or both of you together.
- Shut up, Alexis.
I haven't finished yet.
Yes, I know.
You're my husband's innocent ex-wife and the splendid, irreproachable mother of his two children.
Well, think of your daughter now, Alexis.
Think of Fallon.
Her baby's missing.
What? What are you talking about? What Jeff said to me, I had to tell you, Blake.
Is the car waiting for you down below? - Yes.
- Tell Alfred I'll be right down.
Blake, you're hurt.
Please do as I ask, Krystle.
I must get home.
- Blake.
- What are you doing here? I'm here with Cecil.
He's had a heart attack.
Oh, God, Blake, I just heard about Fallon's baby.
Is this nightmare happening to us all over again? It's not happening again.
This time, it's different.
And I think I know the man who's behind it.
Well, Mr.
Crayford, we've come from Dr.
Toscanni's office.
His secretary said that he'd resigned.
Now, what do you know about that? Well, not very much, Mr.
Carrington.
I found this note on my desk this morning.
"As per my message, I quit.
Toscanni.
" What message? Well, his secretary got a telephone call from him yesterday, long distance.
He told her to clean out his office, bring all his personal papers to his house.
Well, where is he now? Well, that, I'm afraid, is anyone's guess.
Nick Toscanni is a very volatile person.
You never know what he's gonna do next.
We were up on top of Scorpio Peak.
He lunged at me and we fought.
Then he screamed that he'd get back at me because of what he still thinks I did to his brother.
Get back at me to try to do that with an innocent baby.
- You think it's Toscanni? - Yes.
Alone or with someone else, I do.
I think it's Toscanni.
She may be asleep.
I convinced her to take a sedative.
She was up all night crying so My beautiful child.
Everything's gonna be all right.
I'll get your son back for you.
I promise you that.
Lieutenant Cobb is waiting in the library.
Oh, good.
Thank you.
The house is closed and his car is gone.
There's absolutely no sign of Nick Toscanni at the moment.
So he could be anywhere.
Driving anywhere.
Probably carrying the baby.
Maybe carrying the baby.
I've gotta do it.
I've gotta make an appeal.
I'm gonna call the newspapers.
No, better yet, I'm gonna go on television with that appeal.
I'm gonna offer a reward for my grandson.
Anything.
Just everything to get some information about that baby.
Well, we're hoping the kidnapper will contact you on his own.
The chance is better, a lot better, if we keep the lid on this.
Keep the lid on this? You're talking about my grandson.
Sir, the decision's yours.
But weigh it.
And while you're at it, weigh your certainty that it's Toscanni.
Face it, a man in your position, Mr.
Carrington, has to have more than one enemy in this world.
Blake, you've been through so much.
You're moving on raw nerve.
And you want me to stop moving.
Krystle, once before in my life, I kept quiet about something.
It ended up in terrible pain.
I will not let this end that way.
I heard what you said, Blake, and I know how you feel about me.
But I can't let you go through this again, not without me.
- Alexis, l-- - I'm part of this, Blake.
I was then and I am now.
Well, we went through it together before and we will again.
But, Blake, what was that all about just now? Krystle, I had another life before I met you.
I never told you I didn't.
And you had another life.
You never told me that you didn't.
- But Alexis said-- - I don't care what Alexis said.
It's not important.
Not necessary to open up old wounds and I will not do it.
Wait.
You're the one person in this world that means everything to me and what am I doing to you? Darling, I have no secrets from you.
But I just can't talk about it now.
I can't.
Do you understand that? I understand, Blake.
Fallon, I'm glad you're not like me.
Meaning what, Claudia? That you have hope.
Real hope.
I can see it in your eyes.
You're not crying the way I did when Matthew took Lindsay from me.
When I knew I'd never see her again.
You know different about your son, don't you? You have real hope, I can see it in your eyes.
Don't let go of it.
Ever.
I'm trying not to.
Well, don't.
- Excuse me.
- What are you doing here? I'm sorry.
I'm here on your father's orders.
He's going on television to talk about what's happened and he wants it to come from this room where the little guy was taken.
My son.
That's what I meant.
Your son.
I can tell you that I'm really praying this'll help get him back to you.
We're all praying.
- Have you heard anything yet, officer? - Nothing.
Even a wrong number would be better than sitting around like this.
- Can I get you some coffee? - I'd sure appreciate it.
Oh, Claudia, we've been looking for you.
- We need your help.
- Anything, Blake.
Now, I've been trying to track down that foreign-looking man you saw yesterday.
Now, you said that he had a beard.
Yeah, I think he did.
But you're not sure? He had a moustache.
Yeah, I think he had a beard.
He had a beard.
Now, was he a small man or a big man? Well, I don't know.
He was in a car and I don't know about cars.
I mean, I can't tell you the year.
I can't tell you the make but-- Yeah, he seemed like he was big.
Is there anything else you remember, Claudia, since you spoke to me or the police? No, not about him.
But I tell you, last night, I woke up in the middle of the night and I remembered it.
You remembered what? There was a kind of emblem on the side of the car, you know, on the door? A coat of arms? I don't think so.
It was really strange.
Initials? No, kind of curlicues.
Could it--? Could it have been Arabic? Yeah, could have been.
My God.
Farouk Ahmed? Could he be the one? Hush, hush, beautiful, there's nothing to cry about.
You're not gonna have to spend another night here without your folks.
They're on their way now so you just hush there, yes.
There.
Oh, you came alone? Well, he'll be happy to at least be with you again.
I hate to give him up.
He's so precious.
And so we are in the nursery of the Carrington mansion where Blake Carrington will talk to us about his missing grandson, Blake Carrington Colby.
Present in the room with us now are the infant's parents, Mr.
and Mrs.
Jeffrey Colby.
Also the present Mrs.
Carrington, Krystle Jennings Carrington and the oil tycoon's first wife, Alexis Carrington.
All are in a deep state of shock over the disappearance of the child which police are now calling officially a kidnapping.
According to Lieutenant Cobb who heads this investigation, says that at this point, there are no strong suspects.
And because there's no evidence that the child has been taken across the state line, the FBl has not been called in.
This is Blake Carrington Colby.
He is 3 months old.
He weighs 1 2 pounds.
His hair is brown and his eyes are grey.
Yesterday afternoon, while my daughter, Fallon, and her husband, Jeffrey Colby, were away arranging a christening for their infant son, someone kidnapped their son, my grandson, from his crib.
We-- Blake and I are no strangers to this kind of tragedy.
- Alexis.
- To this terrible heartbreak.
- Alexis, please.
- Oh, no, this has got to be said.
- Not now.
- Yes, now.
I'm not going to keep quiet about it anymore.
You see, almost to this very day, our firstborn child was terribly and cruelly taken away from us.
His name was Adam.
Adam Carrington.
He was as beautiful as little Blake and as vulnerable.
And one day, in the village here, he was stolen from his baby carriage by a person or persons unknown.
He was taken away from his carriage and he was taken away from his father and me.
And we never heard a word from the kidnappers.
And even when we released the story, there was nothing but silence.
And so our little baby, our only son, our child, was gone.
And we never saw him again.
Eventually the incident was forgotten by everybody.
But not by us.
And to this day, we live with the brutal agony of not knowing whether our little Adam is alive or dead.
No.
We want our grandson back.
No.
No.
Adam, no.
What? No.
I said no.
Adam.
Gram.
Hey.
Gram.
It's me.
It's Michael.
No.
You are Adam.
Adam Carrington.
Look, it's just a television news programme.
Don't let it upset you.
Your grandmother's still with us, Michael.
But you should be prepared.
She may not be for much longer.
She's beginning to have delusions, Dr.
Edwards.
She just said something very strange.
Delusions? Your grandmother? I doubt it.
Counsellor, she may be leaving us soon but she's still the same woman I've known for 40 years.
Mind sharp as a tack.
Sharp, Michael.
I beg you.
Whatever the cost, we want our grandson back.
If you know where he is, if you know who took him away, contact us, please.
Please.
So I beg you.
Help me.
Help me find my grandson.
Oh, God, Blake, what if it is like Adam all over again?
