The Rescue

[TYPEWRITER KEYS CLACKING.]
MAN: The bodies of the two occupants of that plane are in the morgue here in Seattle.
And we're looking for more signs of identification.
Positive identification.
Positive identification? Does that mean that you're not sure who the people were in that plane? We're sure about one of them.
The man piloting the aircraft was thrown clear on impact.
The papers he had on him showed him to be a Brazilian national recently released from prison on a cocaine charge.
The name is - Peter De Vilbis.
- Peter De Vilbis? - What was she doing with him? - Let's hear the rest of this.
Now, do you know who the other person was in that plane? Well, we're not certain yet.
We know it was a female, and she was trapped in the plane.
With the force of the explosion and the fire, there's no hope of positive l.
D.
Not from the body.
- Well, then it might not be Fallon.
- Lieutenant, see you for a minute? - Excuse me.
BLAKE: Jeff, did you hear that? There was no positive identification.
- Then who was with De Vilbis? - Well, maybe another woman.
No, she didn't leave the retreat alone.
Brother Leo told me that.
Well, De Vilbis might have dropped Fallon off someplace and picked up another woman.
Oh, look, Blake.
She must have called him from the retreat.
She must have asked him to come for her.
That still doesn't mean that she was on that plane.
Jeff, Fallon was sick.
She was in pain.
Those headaches must have been agony.
Now, we can't blame her if she called someone.
My men found a woman's ring.
lt's pretty scorched.
Maybe one of you can recognise it.
l gave this to Fallon when we got engaged.
She went off with him and she died with him.
Here.
l don't want this.
Lindsay How she admired Fallon.
l remember one night, we were doing the supper dishes and she said to me: ''Mommy, when l grow up, do you think l'll be as beautiful as Fallon Carrington, even close?'' And l said, ''Yes, l do, l think you will.
'' [PHONE RINGS.]
Hello.
Kystle, Jeff is here with me.
The Sheriffs Office up here has confirmed it.
lt was Fallon.
Blake, l'm so sory.
We'll be home tonight.
We'll be flying back with With her.
[INHALES DEEPLM We'll be waiting for you.
Fallon? J Blake and Jeff they'll be home tonight with her body.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God, no.
Not again.
No.
Oh, God.
Claudia.
Don't cy, please.
We have to be strong.
Jeff and Blake and Steven, they're gonna need us.
[SOBBING.]
Steven.
[SNIFFLES.]
They told me you were up here.
l was iust looking over some of the things Fallon and l used to play with when we were kids.
She used to call eveything dumb.
Dumb scooter.
Dumb tricycle.
Dumb baseball glove.
Dumb.
She was a great sister, Dad.
She was my best friend.
Son, this loss, this terrible loss, maybe it will help bring the rest of the family together.
lf you're talking about Adam and me, he's not family to me, Dad.
We didn't grow up together.
And more important than that, l don't trust him.
l can't forgive him for letting Sammy Jo just take off with my son.
lt's finally arranged.
One o'clock, a week from Friday, in Los Angeles.
She made it vey clear that Danny wouldn't be with her, so l wouldn't have a chance to see him.
Or better yet, to make a grab for him and bring him back home.
She's got me in a corner, Dad.
She's holding my son for ransom and l don't know how to get him back.
We'll get him back.
Somehow, we'll get him back.
Jeff, about the funeral service Now, l think that Fallon would have wanted it to be private.
Just the family and some of the staff.
How do you feel about that? That sounds fine, Blake.
You handle the arrangements, okay? [BLAKE SIGHS.]
Jeff, about Fallon, l know you're angy, Vey an9y, because of her being with De Vilbis.
- For whatever reason-- - l'd rather not pursue this if you-- - Well, l want to pursue it.
- Why? To straighten me out? To tell me she was like eveyone else on this earth, that she had her faults, that she wasn't pe_ect? Well, you don't have to because l know that.
l know that.
Yes.
Yes, she did have her faults, but l loved her despite those faults.
And l know that you loved her too.
, It seems to me, Jeff we should remember those wonde_ul qualities, the things about her that we loved.
Because they are the things that should be providing us with comfort now.
l'd like to be left alone if you don't mind.
l'll deal with my grief, my feelings, in my own way.
l'm vey, vey sory.
Yeah, l know, l know.
Have you or Steven told Alexis? - No, we haven't.
- l'll have to tell her.
She won't be back until tomorrow.
Where's she been? Caracas.
She's been arrested for leaving the county.
What was she doing there? She went to see Billy Waite.
Mm.
That's not important, for now.
Your Maiesty has five minutes.
What are you doing here, Blake? lt's not Fallon, is it? Has something happened to Fallon? Alexis, l, uh What's happened? l know something's happened.
Fallon was killed in a plane crash.
No.
No.
No, no, no! [SOBBING.]
My baby.
My baby.
You.
You stole my children away from me.
You let them run wild and you killed her.
You killed my baby.
You killed my baby.
What are we going to do? Blake, what are we going to do? Blake.
MAN: You will let us know if there's anything that we can do.
- Thank you, good night.
- Good night.
Blake, Kystle, time to be getting on home.
Thank you vey much for coming, George.
l know how many problems of your own all of you people have these days, and l appreciate your being here.
We loved Fallon, vey much.
As for problems, when Denver-Carrington gets rolling again, well, there iust won't be any more problems.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Kystle.
- Good night.
lt's so good to see you.
Mr.
Carrington, l have to thank you again.
- Oh, come on, now-- - No, l have to.
Keeping me on salay has been making all the difference in the world for me.
BLAKE : Bye-bye, Marcia.
- Kystle.
- Bye.
Tsk.
It's a shame, really a shame.
When a company like Denver-Carrington goes out of business, we forget the economic shoc_aves it causes.
Now, those are good people, all of them, out of work.
l should be tying to help them get their jobs back again, but l can't.
l iust can't seem to concentrate on anything.
Of course you can't.
Fallon's gone and all of us have died a little bit inside.
We can't expect to get over it that easily.
[PHONE RINGS.]
- Hello? - Blake, it's Billy.
l heard the tragic news.
l'm vey, vey sory.
Thank you, Billy.
Have you made any decision about the loan? The South China Sea deal.
Yes.
l'm afraid that the way my finances are going these days, l'm not gonna be able to go it with you.
Come on now, Billy.
The amount that we discussed was peanuts to you and you know it.
l do not know it, Blake.
And you should know me well enough to know l don't appreciate being pressured, particularly after l've made my position clear.
All right, then tell me one thing.
Exactly what did Alexis do that caused you to back out of that deal? Oh! My other phone is going.
l'm gonna have to get off.
Well, l'm sory.
l'm vey sory about eveything.
Well, she did it again.
Alexis has succeeded in cutting me off from eveyone.
My God.
lf l could iust forget that she's the mother of my children, l'd [SIGHS.]
But l can't.
l can't forget.
Hello, cowboy.
Hello, Daddy.
- How you doing? - Fine.
- Daddy? - Yes? Remember when my puppy died and you said it went to heaven? Yes, l remember.
Did my mommy go to visit him? Yes, she did, son.
You see, Mommy was sick.
She was in an accident.
And she was in a lot of pain.
And God took her there so she wouldn't hurt anymore.
ls heaven nice? Yes, oh, it's vey nice.
lt's vey beautiful.
l wish they'd both come back to me, my puppy and my mommy.
l'll be right out here.
Hello, Alexis.
Hello, Dex.
There are no words, l know.
But you have my sympathy.
My deepest sympathy.
Thank you.
Oh, God, this place.
What am l doing in this place? Can't they understand it would never have occurred to me that anyone would think l wasn't coming back from Venezuela? Didn't you hear the iudge? He told you not to leave the state, Iet alone the county.
l know, l know, it was stupid of me.
Give me a cigarette.
l'm worried about you, Alexis.
The circumstantial evidence against you is building.
The man in the street, he can't be expected to-- Oh, Dex, if you're gonna tell me that public antipathy is building against me, along with eveything else, then don't.
Because l don't wanna hear about it.
Not now, not at this time in my life.
That's the key word, Alexis.
Life.
Your life.
That's what l'm talking about, thinking about.
Your life and your freedom.
[SNIFFLES.]
That's not where my thoughts are now, Dex.
They're with Fallon.
They're with my beautiful daughter who's dead.
Dex, you've gotta get me out of here.
l've got to be with her one last time.
Please, Dex, please help me.
There's nothing l can do.
They're buying my baby.
And l wanna be with her.
Please let me out of here.
Please.
Please.
[SOBBING.]
DEX: l'll phone the governor.
Behold, l show you a mystey.
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump.
For the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible.
And we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must be made incorruptible, and this mortal must be made immortal.
Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ''Death is swallowed up in victoy.
Oh, death, where is thy sting? Oh, grave, where is thy victoy?'' May the soul of Fallon Carrington Colby, betrothed of Jeffrey Colby, mother of Blake Jeffrey Colby, daughter of Blake Carrington and Alexis Colby, daughter of this rich Colorado earth she loved so dearly, rest in eternal peace in that earth.
Fallon.
Goodbye.
l loved you from the moment you were born.
And l shall continue to love you for as long as l breathe, and then, beyond that.
My little girl.
Please forgive any of the differences that we had.
l loved your strength.
l love you always.
Goodbye, my baby.
[SOBBING.]
Why, Fallon? Why'd you leave me? You never loved me.
lf you loved me, you wouldn't have left me for that bum.
You bitch! What the devil do you think you're doing? l will not let you desecrate my daughter's funeral, you-- You're a drunken fool.
Jeff, l told you she'd become sick.
ls it too much to ask you to forgive her? ls it? Well, it's good to see you relaxing.
Relaxing? l'm iust sitting here thinking.
Thinking about Billy Waite turning me down, and the others who have turned me down.
What do l do now? l don't know, but you'll think of something.
Kystle, l have to work.
l need to work.
lt's the one thing that's always saved me.
l understand, but iust don't drive yourself too hard right now.
Ty not to deal with people like Billy Waite.
Blake, being rich isn't important to me.
And living in a 48-room house, well, there are times when l still get lost.
So, what does it matter if we lose the house? Well, it matters to me.
My children were born and raised in this house.
One of them was buried from this house.
Can't you understand what this place means to me? Darling, of course l can.
But the memories don't go away, no matter where you live.
Blake, what matters to me is that we have each other.
Remember that, despite eveything that's happened, we have each other.
And our baby.
My God, the baby moved.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
l should send it back.
l told them lots of onions.
Sammy Jo, where's Danny? Where you can't get your hands on him.
And don't bother looking for him.
He's with friends of mine, a long way from Los Angeles.
What do you want for him? How much? Thirty thousand dollars a month, for the rest of my life.
Where the hell do you expect me to get that kind of money? l know where.
Your father may be broke.
But you do have a vey rich mother.
You'll sign a document, Iegal and binding, giving up all claim to Danny forever.
l'll sign anything you want.
Okay.
Where's my son? l want him now.
Mm.
First, the contract.
Signed, sealed and delivered with the first payment.
Thirty thou.
Where do l send it? l'll call you in a few days and let you know.
Steven.
Leave me $20 to pay for this, or l'll make a scene.
Go ahead, make a scene.
Just remember, if anything happens to my son between now and the time l see him, l'll kill you.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
Who's that? Adam.
Come here.
Come.
Come here.
Samantha.
Such a pretty girl.
So pretty.
[GIGGLES.]
[MUFFLED SHOUTING.]
Ah! Come here.
No.
Don't.
Behave yourself.
Danny.
Uncle Adam's come to take you home.
There we are.
And l got Danny out of that motel room and we flew home.
He's a pretty good traveller, Steven.
The stewardesses loved him.
How is Danny? He's asleep and he's terrific.
Adam, l wanna thank you for bringing him back to us.
You've already thanked me enough, Claudia, really.
Well, maybe l haven't.
[CHUCKLES.]
Thank you, Adam.
Again.
l guess l really didn't know you.
l underestimated you and l'm sory for that.
Let's get one thing straight, Steven.
It wasn't my idea, it was father's.
l was iust carying it out.
Well, you did a fine iob, Adam.
But l have a feeling we're not exactly finished with this yet.
Knowing Sammy Jo, l'm sure we aren't.
BOY 1 : Look at that big fancy car.
BOY 2: Hey, let's go.
BOY 3: No.
Hey.
Hey.
[BOY WHISTLES.]
WOMAN : Good afternoon.
- That's a big car.
- Yes, it is.
Ha-ha.
For a minute, l thought the President of the United States had decided to visit Northern Colorado.
No, it's only me.
l know l don't know any vey rich ladies like you, and you obviously are vey rich.
But l wasn't always.
- Let me ask you something.
- Mm? What is the single most beautiful word in the English language? Funny you should ask that.
lt's lullaby.
Lullaby.
You told me that word one night.
Yes.
Right on that porch.
Sitting right there.
Just the two of us.
We were talking about words.
Some of the words and how beautiful they are.
[CHUCKLES.]
No.
Millie? Oh, it can't be.
Not my little niece, Millie Cox.
Oh! - Just look a little harder.
- Oh, Lord, it is you.
Millie.
Oh! [BOTH LAUGH.]
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, iust look at you.
Just look at you.
You're more blossomed out than that skinny little thing that left here.
And you're even prettier, Aunt Bessie.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh.
Oh.
lt's so good.
Baby, it's so good to see you again.
Oh, baby.
When l heard you'd left for Europe, l thought l'd never see you again, Millie.
Well, l was away for quite awhile, but l'm back now.
My name is now Dominique.
- Dominique? - Mm-hm.
That is elegant.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
Oh, come on in, come on in.
Are you sure you're that skinny little thing that used to run up these stairs and say to me, ''Aunt Bessie, if you're cooking chicken, can l have the drumstick?'' Ha-ha-ha.
Oh, why didn't you tell me you were coming? That second bedroom is a mess.
l'll help you clean it, and then l'm going to spend the night.
- But first, Aunt Bessie.
- Mm-hm.
l have something vey important l have to do, - and l'm going to need your help.
- My help? How? Sure.
My mother's trunk.
Oh, it's still here.
Good.
Hello.
Hello, mother.
[SIGHS.]
[CRYING.]
Oh, he's iust a little bit nervous.
Come on, honey.
No? You don't want anything? Okay.
You're the boss today.
He should be hungrier than he is.
No, it's okay.
He's really fine, babe.
- He looks flushed.
CLAUDIA: No, he's not.
[PHONE RINGS.]
l thought he felt a little warm before, so l took his temperature.
But he doesn't have a fever.
He's fine.
Excuse me, Mr.
Carrington, there's a telephone call for you from Los Angeles.
Sammy Jo.
You sound as if you were expecting me to call, Steven.
Let's iust say it's no surprise.
We're iust glad to have Danny back with us.
- Where he belongs? - That's right.
ln the big mansion which may not belong to the Carringtons much longer.
Well, enioy the mansion and the kid for as long as you can.
That goes for all of you.
Including your rotten brother, Adam.
Because l'm not finished with this yet.
ln fact l'm really not finished with this yet.
l came to this house, frankly, a vey frightened woman.
And each of you went out of your way to help me adjust by your kindness and your understanding.
Which makes it all the more difficult for me to ask you to understand now why we have to let you go, temporarily.
Gerard will give you each a cheque covering your salaries for the ne_ month.
l hope with all my heart that you'll be back with us soon.
Thank you and God bless you.
Kystle, why did you do it? l iust talked to the gardener.
Why did you fire those people? [SIGHS.]
Blake, one night some time ago, in front of those people, you told them that it was Mrs.
Carrington who ran this house and no one else.
Well, l did what l had to do, at least for the time being.
We still have Mrs.
Gunnerson and Jeannette and-- Mr.
Carrington, excuse me, sir.
- There's someone here to see you.
- Who is it? A Dominique Deveraux.
She says you've met.
Send her away, please.
Tell her we're not receiving any guests.
She iust wants a word, sir.
She wishes to pay her respects.
All right, all right.
Send her in.
Thank you for allowing me this visit.
l know that you've had a vey hard time of it.
But l've had a hard time too.
Miss Deveraux, may l ask why you're here? Because l feel as if l've suffered a loss as well.
Exactly what kind of a loss? Let's iust say that l feel as l do because we have so much in common.
Such as what? Our blood.
Our genes.
Our daddy.
