Dynasty s04e12 Episode Script

''Denver-Carrington oil magnate Blake Carrington will re-mary the former Kystle Grant Carrington tomorrow.
The wedding is to be a small intimate affair.
The couple will honeymoon in Rio de Janeiro, escaping our winter on Copacabana beach.
'' Mr.
Farnsworth Dexter, please.
Have him call Alexis Colby the minute he returns.
We've got to get out that brochure on the Carrington Center for Neurological Diseases.
At Denver Memorial, right.
l'm going to the printer's this afternoon to check the proofs.
You won't forget the release on our anti-pollution studies? l won't forget.
It will go out Friday morning as ordered.
Oh, there's so much, Tracy.
l don't wanna forget anything.
Believe me, you haven't.
You've got the number of the hotel.
If you need me for anything-- Kystle, you're going away on your honeymoon.
No business.
And that's an order from me.
Okay.
By the way, Kystle, whenever Bill went away, he usually gave me the credit cards.
Well, you know, for gas, or in case l wanna pick up a tab whenever l invite a reporter to do a piece on the company.
Sure.
Oh, yeah, and l might need the keys to the confidential files.
Well, l don't know.
We rarely use them.
You're right.
Just thinking out loud.
l remember when Bill took off once on a trip and we needed some information in a hury during that takeover mess.
Nobody could find Mr.
Carrington.
lt was one giant headache.
But odds are nothing is going to happen.
Tracy.
Wait a minute.
- What if something does happen? - Thanks.
For the vote of confidence.
l will guard them with my life.
Morning, Tracy.
Something wrong? Hunger pangs, Mr.
Carrington, and whether l should give in to the urge for a cheese Danish or skip the calories.
Well, the way you look, l'd say live and have two cheese Danish.
Are you tying to make the boss Iook bad? Good morning, darling.
Well, your desk looks like you've been here for hours.
l didn't know l'd hired a workaholic.
Now, l know that you don't have time to read the newspapers, but they all say there's gonna be a wedding tomorrow and that we are in it.
That's why l'm here early.
To tie up all the loose ends - so Tracy can follow through.
- l'm sure she'll do just fine then.
Well, l know, but just in case.
You wouldn't want me thinking about the office on our honeymoon, would you? l have evey intention of distracting you.
l'm heading down to the gym.
At least one of us gets to work off the tension.
God knows there's been enough of it these past couple of weeks.
You all right? Yeah, l'm just a little tired.
l think a lot tired.
Why don't you see the doctor? l'm going to see Dr.
Winfield in two weeks for my regular appointment.
As for looking beat, what do you expect? lt hit us both.
You look pretty tired too.
But l'm not carying a baby.
Kirby, why are you doing this to yourself? There's no reason to rush into a divorce until well after the baby is born.
The only reason l'm waiting at all is so we don't spoil Blake and Kystle's wedding.
Being stubborn doesn't make you right.
l iust want to end this mockey of a marriage.
As soon as they go to Rio, l'm gonna see a lanyer.
Do what you want.
Blake, l love you.
l adore you.
But if you do not stop throwing all your toys all over the floor, l'm gonna get really, really cross.
Oh, you're so gorgeous.
You're so pretty.
Oh, Fallon.
Don't tell me that you dropped by just because you missed your mother.
l came by to take my son to his paediatrician.
lrene, would you get him ready, please? We'll just be a minute, Mrs.
Colby.
Oh, you've got to go now.
Bye-bye.
l'll see you next week.
Goodbye, lovely.
You want a coffee, Fallon, or would you like something a bit stronger? Hi, sweetie.
Nothing, thanks.
l notice from the gossip columns that you've been something of an item with this Peter De Vilbis.
l do hope you realise that he's nothing more than a playboy.
lf you mean he's got money and style, you're right.
Oh, money and style.
l iust wanna warn you, Fallon, advise you, that l have seen this man on several occasions.
l've seen him in Barbados, at St.
Moritz, in Monaco.
He's not for you, darling.
He's decadent.
He's burned out.
He's had too much of eveything.
Are you ready, Irene? Fallon, listen to me, he's bad.
He'll-- He'll hurt you.
lf this is more of your iet-set gossip, Mother, l'm not interested.
Peter De Vilbis may spread his life around six continents, but he's vey hard-working and incredibly sensitive.
And evidently not too shabby in bed.
That's none of your damn business.
Sory, it just slipped out.
And don't get any ideas about protecting me like you did for Mark.
Because if you come within one mile of me and Peter, l'll make you regret it.
That enemy list of yours grows longer evey day, Alexis.
Most mothers and daughters have rows, Mark.
Sometimes l think you really believe that bull you toss around.
This is disgustingly sweet.
Make me a martini.
One of these days you're going to wake up and there will be nobody Ieft to count on, except me.
And we both know l'm only in it for the money.
To your health.
What do you want? You're gonna listen to me.
Get out of here.
Not until you hear what l have to say.
Kirby won't speak to me.
You pull your disappearing act evey time we run into each other and l'm fed up.
Tough.
Well, that's it.
A curt dismissal from the high and mighty Jeff Colby.
- Call it whatever you like.
- Look, Kirby is gonna have my baby.
And l'm damned if l'm gonna stand on the sidelines and watch you raise my child.
You live here.
You can see the kid from time to time.
When that baby is born, he's gonna know who his father is.
That's my right.
Your right? You raped Kirby.
You call that a right? You lured her down to that motel on the pretext of a business trip, came on like an animal.
ln your twisted mind, did you think those screams for help were cries of passion? l'm not going to let this go, Jeff.
You better.
l gotta get some fresh air.
l am leaving the city tomorrow.
l'm vey busy winding matters up today.
Now, what is this urgent matter concerning my grandson you had to see me about? My art studio.
What about your art studio? When l married Cecil, l deeded the studio to little Blake.
lt becomes his when he's 18.
Well, that's more than l know.
But it's such a waste to see the building go to no use at all.
And l thought, wouldn't it make an adorable playhouse? A playhouse? Yes.
Well, he's such an active child and he really needs a place where he can run free.
So why don't you just tell your guards that l'll be sending my workmen over today? This, of course, has nothing to do with the fact that Kystle and l are getting married tomorrow? The answer, Alexis, is no.
No workmen.
And if one of them sets foot on my property to get to that studio, l'll have them thrown out by my security people.
- Yes.
- Mr.
De Vílbís just called.
It's all set.
You and Mrs.
Carríngton wíll have the brídal suíte at the Copacabana Playa.
Good.
Thank you.
How clever of you, Blake.
Rio and its dazzling night life.
What a colourful place to go to for a honeymoon.
So different from Kofu.
You remember Kofu, don't you, Blake? Where you and l honeymooned.
l've tried vey hard to forget it.
l was so young.
Just a child, really.
What did l know? Kystle's a lot more worldly than l was.
lt's a pity that when we were on Kofu, l couldn't see the fa_ade, your greed, your selfishness.
lf l had, our marriage would have ended a hell of a lot sooner, believe me.
lf you had, we wouldn't have three children.
Three beautiful, clever children that l gave you to cary on your Carrington dynasty.
And that's one thing Kystle will never, ever be able to give you.
Kystle may not be able to give me a child, but she does fill a void in my life that you are incapable of understanding.
Now, if you don't mind, l would like you to get out of here.
- Claudia.
- Oh, hi.
- Is Fallon in? - No, but l expect her in a few minutes.
ls there anything l can do? - Yes, Ernesto Pinero, my architect.
- Yeah.
He's arriving from Rio the end of next week.
Yeah, l know.
l saw the reservation.
l'll make sure that he gets the best accommodations.
A suite, the Northern Exposure.
- Northern Exposure? - Yes.
The light is much better to work on sketches.
That's no problem, l'll just make a note of it.
Ernesto needs a drafting table.
Well, that's no problem.
l'm sure l can rent one.
ls there anything else? Fallon says she's vey lucm you came to work here.
Well, l'm glad that she asked me.
l like Fallon vey much.
You're vey beautiful, Claudia.
Thank you.
- Vey lovely.
- Please don't.
- Vey attractive.
- l have to work.
Why are you getting so upset? l was only paying you a compliment.
A pass is more like it and l intend to tell her.
l will deny it.
Which one of us do you think she will believe? Oh, hi.
You look beautiful.
By the way, Claudia has a message for you.
l left you a note.
l have to go.
You really do look beautiful.
Oh, Blake.
Aspen was such fun.
The sleigh ride, dinner.
- Getting away for a little while.
- Yes.
And now back to harsh reality.
My bachelor party.
Oh, l'm sure they've got that all planned.
Yes, it'll be quite a party, if the last one was any indication.
What, a huge cake, with a sey girl inside? One girl? Oh, no, no.
When that thing popped open, it was half the chorus line of the Folies Bergère, waving sparklers and doing the cancan.
You're putting me on.
Maybe just a little.
Oh, Kystle.
My world is opening up again.
Hasn't been easy without you.
Not for me, either.
Just so you know, as far as l'm concerned, that marriage that we're going through tomorrow, it's iust a simple reaffirmation of the three wonderful years that we had together as man and wife.
Wish l didn't have to take you back to La Mirage and leave you at the door again tonight.
Just one more night.
l'll see you in the morning.
Oh, no.
No, the second l arrive, l'm going straight to the guestroom.
Now, you can't fight tradition, Blake.
The groom does not get to see the bride until she walks to the altar.
All right.
Then l'll have to give you this right now.
You know, the last time they got married, Joseph did such a wonderful job.
Like you're doing this time, Mrs.
Gunnerson.
lt's okay, we all miss him.
Jeanette, l'll ty that.
lt's excellent caviar.
Make sure we have two more of those.
Yes, Mrs.
Colby.
By the way, is it true Peter Duchin flew in to play for the wedding? Yes, it's true.
You know, this is all so incredible, we could be easily lose you to the court of St.
James.
One for the good guys.
Mr.
Dexter still isn't back? Well, l've been leaving messages since yesterday, so will you make sure that he gets them as soon as he returns? Problems with your new partner already, Mother? Darling, no, of course not.
- How are you? - Hi.
- You want a cup of coffee? - No, thanks.
l know you can't stay long, you're going to some sort of reception this afternoon.
Dad's wedding, yeah.
Oh, yes.
How lovely.
l just wanted you to know that l've arranged a little surprise for you for your birthday.
That's more than two weeks away.
l know, but l've never been good at holding in surprises.
So l wanted to tell you that l'm giving you 1 ,OOO shares of Colbyco stock.
That's quite a bit, Mother.
Well, you're my son.
Feel free to tell your father about it this afternoon, if you like.
Which l couldn't have done if your little birthday surprise hadn't iust popped out all of a sudden, could l? Oh, Steven, you do know me rather well.
Speaking of your birthday, l'm planning a small party in your honour at the St.
Dennis Club and l've invited some vey important people.
Mother, could we make that the night before or the night after? Claudia has already set up a little party of her own.
She didn't invite me.
No slight intended, believe me, it's just a-- lt's kind of a triple celebration.
My birthday, Dad's and Kystle's homecoming.
l see.
And my patching things up with Dad the night at the Carousel Ball.
Well, never mind.
l didn't realise that Claudia had such a gift for diplomacy.
We'll iust have to postpone my party for a while.
Happy birthday in advance, darling.
Thank you.
- l'll see you soon.
- Yes.
Claudia Carrington, please.
Hello, Claudia.
It's Alexis.
l'm going to be passing by the hotel in a little while.
l'd love to see you to chat.
So l realise that you couldn't possibly have known about my plans.
And now we have this dreadful conflict.
Why didn't you iust ask Steven, Alexis, before you dreamed all of this up? l don't know.
Oh, you know me, l have these sudden inspirations.
Anyway, your party is so small and uncomplicated.
Couldn't you possibly change the date? l realise that my party isn't as grand as the one that you have in mind, but Blake and Kystle have already accepted, and to me, it is important.
Oh, yes, the bringing together of father and son.
Look, Claudia, l know you think that you were doing the right thing, but believe me, you have made a mistake in pushing Steven back into the arms of a man who just simply isn't worth it.
l don't agree, Alexis.
That's your privilege.
And l don't push and l don't shove.
Steven's his own man, and he does what he wants to do.
Of course he does.
l also happened to think that Blake is a fabulous guy.
And Steven is a lot happier since they both made up with each other.
For now, maybe.
Steven loves his father, Alexis.
And he loves you too.
Vey much.
That's the way it should be.
But if you can't accept an equal display of affection from Steven to both of his parents, that's your problem.
Please, don't ty and make it mine.
That's vey honest.
And blunt.
l appreciate it.
But as far as my problem goes, l have never had one in my life that l wasn't able to solve.
And l don't intend to, Claudia.
This is Mrs.
Colby, l won't be back at the office for a while.
l've run into a problem.
l have to find a way to solve it.
And l will.
l'm glad we could have this private moment, Blake.
You and Kystle belong together, always have.
Thank you, Andrew.
Speaking of Kystle, has she gotten you to sign the premarital agreement yet? What? Well, it only seems fair.
Last time you were married, you made her sign one.
And now that she's half owner of Allegree, and pretty well fixed in her own right, she ought to protect her interests.
You give my wife any ideas like that, l'm gonna fire you, Andrew.
Now, what about this fellow, De Vilbis? He appears to check out.
Eveything he owns seems to make a profit.
What do you mean, seems to? Of course, l don't read Portuguese and some of the other languages the man does business in, but figures are pretty universal and they do look good.
What about his background? He comes from a first-class European family.
He left the family business to go to Brazil because he thought they all move too slow for him.
He's obviously a high roller.
Well, that's something that l've been called too.
lt's worked out all right for me, hasn't it? You almost lost your shirt with those tankers you tied up last year, remember? Almost.
But l didn't.
l'll see you downstairs.
And someday, Blake, someday, l'm gonna have the last word with you.
Mrs.
Harris, it's a pleasure to see you again.
Good to see you.
- Welcome, welcome.
- Thank you vey much.
The Beaumonts don't have any champagne.
Anne.
The Beaumonts have no champagne.
Mr.
Beaumont.
You look beautiful, Kystle.
Thank you, Fallon.
l saw the wedding gown, it's spectacular.
Thank you.
So you have something old, something new.
Here's something borrowed.
A bright, new shiny penny for your shoe.
Oh, thank you, Fallon.
Call me a big spender.
But promise me you'll wear it happily ever after.
l promise.
And l'll keep it vey shiny for when l loan it back to you.
Vey soon.
Me? Why would l need it so soon? Oh, just a hunch.
And his name is Peter De Vilbis.
That's Portuguese for ''maybe, maybe not.
'' But keep it polished just in case.
Well, Dad, l think you're ready to claim your bride.
No, no.
Not without this.
You haven't been best man at a wedding before? No, and to tell you the truth, l'm a little nervous.
You'll be all right, son.
It'll be over soon.
All right.
Oh, Steven.
Yeah, Dad? l want to tell you that l mean, l have to tell you Good God.
l run a maior corporation, l make a dozen speeches a year, and l can't say a few important words to my own son.
You don't have to.
But l want to.
l-- l need to.
We've had so much wrong between us.
You must believe me when l tell you that l never wanted to be anything less than the best father that you could ever have.
l know.
And despite all the Well, despite eveything, l never stop needing you.
And l don't mean biblically, either.
Excuse me.
l want to talk to you.
Don't you ever let up? Can't you let it rest even today? l want to settle this, once and for all.
lt isn't your concern.
Oh, yes, it is.
l want my child to know me as his father.
Oh, l don't believe you.
You don't care about anyone but yourself.
That's not true.
l do have feelings, Kirby, contray to what you may believe.
l know what it's like to grow up without a father, a real father.
And l can't deny our child that chance.
l'll be damned if l let our son or daughter go through life with the name Colby.
Well, you don't have to wory about that.
The baby's not gonna be a Carrington or a Colby.
l'm giving it my name, Anders.
And Jeff's gonna buy that? Yes.
Yes.
You're hoping l'll say nothing now, and then after the baby is born it'll be too late.
No, Adam.
Well, it's not going to work.
Don't forget, Kirby, l'm a lanyer, a damn good one.
And l'll fight you.
We'll take blood tests to prove that Jeff's not the father of this child.
No, you won't.
You'll never get that satisfaction.
- Ty me.
- l don't have to.
Because before you file your briefs or whatever you need to prove your stupid point, Jeff and l will be getting a divorce.
A divorce? Adam, please, don't tell anyone.
There's no reason to yet.
It would only spoil the wedding.
We're going to tell Blake and Kystle as soon as they get back.
And you and l can tell them that the minute your divorce from Jeff is final, you're gonna mary me.
No.
No.
We have to, Kirby.
lt's so important for the baby.
And for me.
lt isn't going to happen.
Please, Kirby.
l won't mary you.
Won't you get it through your head? l don't love you.
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together to join this man and this woman in the bonds of matrimony.
This ceremony is a sacred act to express love and devotion from now through eternity.
Marriage is a mutual and loving contract between a man and a woman, properly based on mutual regard and affection.
Now, if any of you know any reason why these two should not be thus joined, please speak now or forever hold your peace.
Well l was iust about to send out a search party.
Nine messages.
Makes me feel vey important.
You are important, darling.
Vey important to me.
Alexis, you're giving me a swelled head.
That's not good for me.
Maybe not.
But l'm sure this is.
Well What a wonderful way to start the afternoon.
Blake Carrington, do you take Kystle to be your lawful wedded wife? To love, honour and cherish her, to comfort and protect her in sickness and in health, and to be to her a faithful and loyal companion? l do.
And do you, Kystle Grant, take Blake to be your lawful wedded husband? To love, honour and cherish him, to comfort him in sickness and in health, and to be to him a faithful, sincere helpmate and companion? l do.
May l have the ring, please? By this ring, symbol of unity from time immemorial, here and now given, and received, as a token and a pledge, this union is sealed and l now pronounce you man and wife.
Congratulations.
l'll have to remember to check my messages a little faster.
Well, as much as l've enjoyed this, l have a funny feeling you iust might have something else on your mind.
Maybe l have.
So, what's the scheme? Scheme? l'm not sure that l like your choice of words, darling.
You know that l'm always totally on the up and up.
Well, nearly always.
- You want a drink? - Yes.
l have thought of a wonderful way for us to go into business together.
We're already in business together.
Oh, darling.
That's Lex-Dex.
Tar sands don't mix with what l have in mind.
Which is? Minerals in Brazil.
Brazil.
Alexis, you're talking a little fast for me.
With your mineral expertise and the Colbyco Oil reserves, we can make a fortune.
l've booked us on a flight to Rio tomorrow-- Wait a minute.
Now, this all sounds vey interesting, but what's the hury? Why do we have to fly tomorrow? Let's check this out first.
Why? l mean there's always a market for minerals.
Why wait? Colbyco can do the checking while we do the dealing down in Rio.
Funny thing.
What? l heard Blake Carrington is going down to Rio on his honeymoon.
Yes, l heard that too.
Are you all that hell-bent on screwing up their lives? Dex, how could you possibly think such a thing? Well, otherwise, it's just one big coincidence.
- Maybe it is.
- l think l know you better than that.
Do you? l can't deny that this chance happening could reap added dividends.
But let me remind you of something.
That l am the head of a vey important corporation and it is my iob to see that that corporation becomes as rich and as powerful as possible.
And that l intend to accomplish in Rio with or without you.
That's a nice performance, Alexis.
But as l've told you before, l'm not sharing you with anyone.
l think you still have a thing for Blake Carrington.
Blake Carrington.
- l loathe him.
- Words, Alexis.
Those are words from the bottom of my heart.
l despise that man.
And as far as sharing me with anyone goes, exclusivity is something that only l decide.
Now, if you'll excuse me, l have a vey important appointment.
And l'm late for it.
Just one look at you My heart goes típsy ín me You and you alone Bríng out the gypsy ín me l love all The many charms about you Above all l want my arms about you Let's go over and say hello to Peter.
- Best couple on the floor, Blake.
- Thank you, Bob.
Peter, we're absolutely delighted you were able to fly out for the wedding from New York.
Thanks, Blake.
Well, the last time l saw you was at Fallon's coming-out party and that was also quite a party.
The music's beautiful, Peter.
Just like the bride.
- We'll see you later.
- See you later.
Took me a whole day to make these.
They're from an old family recipe.
What are you doing? l'm starving, aren't you? Only for you.
Come on.
We can't leave yet, not before the bride and groom.
- What's the matter? - Oh, nothing.
Just been a long day.
Well, you were feeling fine a few minutes ago.
l still am.
Come on.
Oh, look at this.
Oh, yes.
- Excuse me.
- Careful.
Well, l'm supposed to make a wish, right? l trust that l'm included in that wish.
Well, we'll talk about that in Rio.
Kirby? lt's-- It's only a headache.
- Tell me what's bothering you.
- l said, it's only a headache.
- Let me get you something.
- No.
Why are you fighting me? If there's something wrong, let me help.
l just wanna get some rest.
Let me get you an aspirin.
No, please.
Just leave me alone.
Please? All right, all the single ladies to the front.
One, two Get your passport and pack your things.
- We've got a plane to catch.
- What? Alexis, the least you could do is give me some notice.
- l have plans.
- Cancel them.
l told you when you took this iob that you'd be working 24 hours.
Bull.
Oh, Mark.
How delightfully erudite you always are.
One way or another, you're gonna pack your bags, so you decide whether it's one suitcase or eveything you own.
Okay.
Where are we going? Oh, l forgot to tell you.
Rio de Janeiro.
Better start practising your samba.
Oh, one more thing.
Call the switchboard and tell them they can contact me at the Copacabana Playa.
