Dynasty s06e04 Episode Script

BLAKE: I've gotta run, darling.
I've got a 9:15 I can't afford to be late for.
Krystle, you've been up half the night worrying about Sammy Jo.
You've got to accept the fact that no matter what you do, she's never gonna change.
I can't believe that, Blake.
You've done everyhing you could to help her.
Blake, I remember a little girl, just 5 years old, with a yellow dress and black patent leather shoes, running to me, holding me as if I was the mother that she'd lost.
Now, she's no longer a little girl.
Because she had to learn to survive on her own.
All right.
I won't tell you not to fly to New York, but please, darling, please be careful.
- Morning, Adam.
- Morning.
- Off to Los Angeles? - Yes.
I've set up a meeting with a Colby Enterprise lawyer.
Good.
Remember, I want a thorough investigation.
- Of course.
- Go over every document twice.
Add up all the figures three times if necessary.
Ha, ha.
Yes, sir.
Is there anything else I should know? Nothing concrete.
Just don't take anything for granted.
Especially anything that Jason Colby says.
I'll use a microscope if I have to.
I'm gonna stop in San Francisco on the way back.
- Yes, the refinery.
- There's a problem I have to check.
- Have a good trip, son.
- I will.
Mr.
Carrington, Jason Colby is waiting for you in the dining room, sir.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES.]
Thank you, Gerard.
Morning, Blake.
Join me for breakfast? Thank you very much, Gerard.
Elizabeth, thank you.
- What the devil do you want, Jason? - Your answer.
Do we build that pipeline to Chicago, or don't we? I told you yesterday I'd need time to study your proposal.
Fine, you've got time.
A week.
- You're giving me an ultimatum? - No, no, just a A deadline.
A week, or I go elsewhere.
You came here personally just to tell me that? That's not like you, Jason.
Let's say I like the coffee here.
Well? Before I go into any deal with you, I'm gonna look it over very, very carefully.
Now, if you can't wait, then you go to somebody else.
You need my tankers to get your oil out of the South China Seas.
I've got an exclusive contract with the Chinese to use only my tankers to carry that oil.
But if I don't get your answer next week, you can ship your oil out in rubber rafts.
I'll get somebody else to build that pipeline with me.
I'm making no promises.
Good breakfast, Blake.
One week.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
I called the house.
They said that you were away on personal business.
I knew that you'd be here.
I just came to say goodbye.
Goodbye? Where are you going? San Francisco.
It's partly business.
And it's partly just to get away and think.
There's so much to think about.
What's the matter, Claudia? What's happened? It's Adam and me.
It's over.
I wanted you to know.
There's a current in him that pulls me.
It takes my breath away.
I guess I just need some time to catch my breath.
Running away isn't going to solve anything.
Oh, but I'm not running away.
I've spent my life leaning on people.
On Matthew, on you, on your family.
Maybe in San Francisco by myself, I can find what I really need.
- What I want.
- You will, Claudia.
But if you need me, I'm here.
I know that.
You're the best that there is.
I'm so sorry that our marriage didn't work out, but I'm so glad that we stayed friends.
Always.
- I never meant to hurt you.
- But you didn't.
You were hurting yourself.
We find love where we can, if we're lucky.
We found each other.
And for a while it was very good.
I'll always love you.
I'll always love you too.
Goodbye.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES.]
I had lunch with Amanda the other day.
I expected to find a girl who was excited and full of love.
Instead she was cold, distant.
I think it's something between her and Michael.
They've both been through a terrible ordeal.
Michael's lost his country, - He's lost his father.
- No.
Michael may have lost his country, but not his father.
Galen is alive, Blake.
Krystle saw him.
Now, we've got to do something to help him.
Alexis, you know I would do anything for our daughter.
But trying to keep the ghost of King Galen alive Is that going to help the marriage? I mean, they need time.
Time to work out their problems.
On their own.
We've got to do this for her.
For her? Or for you? What do you mean? We both want to help Amanda and Michael.
But are you trying to save their marriage or? - Or save King Galen? - Galen isn't just a king, Blake.
He's a human being.
God knows what condition he's in now.
He could be starved, he could be tortured.
Are we just going to stand back and let that happen? [KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
I'm sorry to interrupt, Mr.
Carrington.
Excuse me.
- Yes, Barbara, what is it? - Jason Colby just called.
I told him you said you were not to be disturbed, but he left an odd message.
- Oh? What was that? - He said, "A Colby-Carrington pipeline beats shipping your oil to Chicago by mule train," BLAKE: Is that all he said? Only that he'll be at the Brown Palace Hotel until tomorrow, in case you decide before he leaves for Los Angeles.
BLAKE: Thank you very much.
Alexis, it just seems to me Michael has accepted the fact that his father is dead, as I have.
Are you going to risk the lives of other men just to chase a dream? It isn't a dream, Blake.
And I'll prove it to you.
[HUMMlNG.]
Mr.
Jason Colby is on his way up, Mrs.
Dexter.
Thank you, Lin.
- Oh.
Jason.
- Alexis.
Oh, it's so good to see you.
They told me you were as beautiful as ever.
And you are as gallant as ever.
Please come in.
Come and sit down.
- Do you still drink single malt? - That's it.
ALEXlS: Ah.
Well, you see, I never forget.
I must tell you, Jason, that the Colby family has always been very important to me.
Is that why you asked me to come see you? Yes, that and, uh, I think we can help each other.
I didn't know I needed any help, but I thank you.
I know all about your pipeline proposal to Blake.
It must be very important for you to come here yourself.
- I can deliver him.
- Oh? Yes, but in return I want something for myself.
What might that be? You know about the coup in Moldavia? Yeah, they assassinated the king.
Oh, no, he's not assassinated.
He's still alive.
And someone has to go in and get him out.
Alexis, they've just about boarded up that country.
Nobody gets in, and damn near nobody gets out.
Economics, Jason.
They need supplies, they need equipment.
If you prevented your tankers from going into that country, if you supported an economic embargo-- And in return you'll persuade Blake to accept my pipeline proposal.
Exactly.
You two are still that close? Let me put it to you this way.
Between us, we control half of Colorado.
We own all of the South China Sea oil leases.
We have four children together.
I would say there's a bond between us that nobody can ever break.
Yeah, I believe that.
You are quite a woman, but, uh, in the first place, you only own In the second place, you went to war with your ex-husband years ago, and there is still no sign of a truce.
One of the reasons I came to Blake is he's his own man.
You can't buy him, you can't scare him.
Well, you can't buy me, Jason.
And you can't scare me either.
So don't underestimate me.
I'm not the same naive little English girl fresh out of boarding school that you met all those years ago.
I'm a very respected businesswoman, and if you don't wanna do business, there are plenty of other people who will.
Alexis, you can't deliver Blake Carrington.
And I can't put a whole country out of business.
Not even a little one.
I'm, uh, really sorry, but l-- I can't accommodate you, but I do give you credit for trying.
And if, uh, you ever get to Los Angeles, you look me up.
You are a very entertaining lady.
Mr.
Jeffrey Colby has arrived.
You are not Jeff Colby.
Well, you're certainly Aunt Constance.
Oh.
Ha, ha.
I used to have to bend down to hug you.
Well, I may have gotten a little taller, but any time you want a hug, you just let me know.
Tell me something, is? Is that little boy still in there someplace? - Only when no one's looking.
- Well, I am looking.
Ha, ha.
Come here.
I wanna show you something.
Now, if you don't remember this, I will be shattered.
- You saved it? - I always save things of value.
I used to get into arguments with him.
He wouldn't beat the drum fast.
Yes, you used to say, "Faster, faster.
Beat the drum faster," And I used to say, "Don't rush, your time will come," - I've missed you, Aunt Constance.
- Oh, no, no, no.
My best friends call me Connie.
Now, this is for your son.
I have another gift for you.
A special gift.
I wanted to give it to you in private.
[SlGHS.]
Because l-- I'm giving it to you with love.
My entire holdings in Colby Enterprises.
- What? - Fifty percent of the voting stock.
- Connie, are you leaving it to me? - No, I am giving it to you, now.
- That's gotta be worth - Over $500 million.
I told you it could change your life.
- You and Jason built this company.
- And damn well too.
Now it's your turn to start building.
Yes, well, I hardly know anything about Colby Enterprises.
- I could lose everyhing for you.
- No.
No, Blake Carrington would never have had you as his right-hand man unless you were the best.
If your father had lived, all this would have been his.
I'm not giving you anything that isn't rightfully yours.
Take it.
- What about Denver-Carrington? - I'm not asking you to give that up.
You can stay in Denver and simply vote the stock, or you can take charge here.
And lock horns with Uncle Jason.
Jason's in Denver.
He'll be back tonight.
Tomorrow I want you to meet with him, talk with him.
And then you will make your decision.
The beat's still a bit slow.
[PlANO PLAYlNG "HERE'S THAT RAlNY DAY".]
[SlNGlNG.]
Where is that worn-out wish That I threw aside After it brought my lover near Oh, it's funny how love Becomes a cold, rainy day It's funny But my rainy day is Is here [CLAPPlNG.]
I usually give at the office, but after hearing you, just tell me to whom I should write the cheque.
I don't allow an audience during my rehearsals, Mr.
, uh, Lake.
Even to a man who owes you his life? You know, Mr.
Lake, being mysterious will get you no further than being rude and demanding.
I am very busy.
Please excuse me.
It was in Paris, Miss Deveraux.
I was undersecretary at the embassy there.
You know how wonderful Paris can be.
Maybe you also know how terribly lonely it can be.
My wife died while we were there.
Oh, I am sorry.
I fell apart.
I was working on a major peace treaty.
I couldn't get it done.
I felt I had the fate of the world in my hands, and I was gonna blow it.
That's where you came in.
Me? I don't understand.
I was contemplating a rather melodramatic leap into the River Seine.
I walked for hours working up my courage.
And I thought I'd stop for one last glass of wine.
Stepped into the first place I saw.
You were singing.
- My place? - You were singing "La Vie En Rose," Ah.
I'll never forget it.
Something about you, about your song.
I knew that life was worth living, that I could go on.
I'm very pleased that you've shared this with me.
The Chinese have a saying.
They say if you save a man's life, you're in his debt forever.
Oh, really? And just how do I go about repaying this debt? Let me take you to dinner tonight.
How about it, Dominique? You know something? One look at you, my thoughts could be arrested.
Hmm.
I think you've spent too much time with the boys in the field.
Yeah? Ha, ha.
Mm.
Do I sense the sweet smell of profit? Mm-hm.
What came in today will send that stock up tomorrow.
Oh, wonderful.
Let's go celebrate.
Let me grab a shower, but first I definitely need a drink.
I heard that Jason Colby stopped by today.
Yes, he did.
You've talked to Blake? - What about? - The pipeline.
You were gonna talk to Blake about Dexter lnternational building it.
Oh Let's not talk about that now.
I wanna take you upstairs and give you one of my world-famous back rubs.
Well, you did talk to him, didn't you? [ALEXlS SlGHS.]
- Didn't you? - I forgot.
I had something very important on my mind.
- Like what? - Like a man's life or death.
Oh, yes, your precious King Galen.
Even before we arrived in Moldavia, all you could think of was Galen.
- Galen, Galen.
- That's not true.
You're just jealous.
You don't want a mere husband in your bed, what you want is a king.
Good night, lady.
[ELEVATOR OPENS.]
You better get her under control.
[JOEL SlGHS.]
She's in pain, Sammy Jo.
And she's scared.
She has the right to be.
Unless you come up with the answers, this production could close out of town.
Way out of town.
Like prison.
- I'm telling you everyhing I know.
- Well, I wanna know more than that.
Your aunt has juice for breakfast.
Drinks her coffee black, no sugar.
I need to know the whole script, the subtext.
What Mrs.
Carrington thinks, how she feels.
- I am not her shadow.
- Well, become her shadow.
Rita and I have given everyhing we've got.
We need some help from you.
Now, what about this Steven? Adam? What was her relationship to Fallon? - She-- She was very close to Steven.
- Speak up! Okay.
Steven has always confided in her.
They trust each other.
Now you're talking.
And, uh, Adam? What about him? I'm not sure.
He's Blake's son, so she-- - She-- - She what? Take it easy, Joel.
This isn't easy for any of us.
You think the pressure's on now? Let me tell you something.
Every film I ever directed before I walked on set, I was prepared.
I knew every shot, every angle.
I knew the motivation behind every line of dialogue, every pause.
I was prepared.
But this is gonna be my masterpiece.
And I'm not gonna let anything get in the way of it.
You understand? You did what? I gave him my shares of Colby Enterprises.
- Do you realise what you've done? - Of course I do.
My gift to Jeff is a gift to you as well.
Well, big sister, that is something you are going to have to explain to me.
Oh, Jason.
You have worked hard to build Colby Enterprises.
I've been with you every step.
- Yeah, I know that.
- I've shared your life, and now-- I'm sharing your death.
But if I'm going to lose you, I will be damned if I'll see all your hard work die with you.
You're right, I did build this company.
Do you think I plan to let it die when I go? No, I think you're planning on leaving it to Miles.
Miles is my son.
I know that, and I love him as much as you do, but Miles is not interested in running this company.
As a matter of fact, he doesn't have the integrity to run it.
He's still young, he's bright.
He'll grow into it.
And I'm damn well gonna stay here until I'm sure he has.
Good, good.
Then you give him your shares.
Divide it between Monica and Miles.
Jason, I've made my decision.
Can't you accept it? Accept Jeff Colby as my partner? That boy? Why? Because he married Blake Carrington's daughter? I don't even know if he can pour beer out of a boot with the directions printed on the heel.
- Who is he? - He's our flesh and blood.
- He's one of us.
- He's his father's son.
I loved Philip.
Our brother was an escape artist.
He ran from his wife, from his life.
And you wanna give everyhing you've got to his son? I've already done that.
All right.
It's your choice.
Jeff and Miles will be head-to-head now.
But I'm telling you now, I'll be in Miles' corner.
Well, you're his father.
That's where I would expect to find you.
Well, Jeff is waiting outside to see you.
For heaven's sakes, try and be civil.
Jason.
[SlGHS.]
This may come as a surprise to you, but I love you very much.
You're on your own now, Jeff.
Good luck.
If it's any comfort, I'm as surprised as you are.
I've never looked for comfort, and I've learned to deal with surprises.
Also, I do relish a challenge.
You don't know me.
Well, I can guarantee you I know you a hell of a lot better than you know me.
That may be so.
Well, that's an oversight I'll have to correct.
Fine, let's get acquainted, Uncle Jason.
- You know what Aunt Connie offered.
- I think she made a mistake.
Well, she doesn't think so.
And I respect her judgement a great deal.
I expect you do.
Not to mention her generosity, huh? But you still know nothing about this company, and damned little about this family.
I didn't turn my back on this family.
You turned your backs on me.
You knew where I was, yet I never saw you, never heard from you.
I don't have much opportunity to get to Colorado.
Not even to visit your own brother's grave? Your father and I were never close.
That's no secret.
Not even one visit.
I mean, what did he ever do to you? What did he ever do to deserve that? He didn't do anything.
- He wasn't really a Colby.
- Oh, what is that supposed to mean? That my father cared more about his family, his country, - than he did the Colby fortune? - His country? The Army was just a convenient excuse for Phil.
A way out.
Truth is, son, your daddy ran out on all of us.
On me.
Your mother.
He left her with no one.
No one.
Now, that's a lie.
- He loved my mother.
- Yes.
I'll give him that.
I believe he did, but he still left her.
He was my brother.
I never knew him.
In the crunch, he cut and ran.
Is that why I make you so nervous? Afraid I'm gonna come in here, run your company into the ground, then take off? I don't know what you'll do.
What you can do, and neither does Connie.
But she still gave you her shares.
Now, I can't talk her out of that.
But I can buy them from you at a very fair price.
These shares are a gift, Jason.
What kind of a man would sell a gift? All right.
Take your shares back to Denver, vote your proxy, and keep clear of me.
Like my father? Look, Jeff.
If you stay here, we'll just keep digging up these old bones and fighting over them like a couple of junkyard dogs.
When I came in here, you might have persuaded me to sell out, but as I see it now, it's not that simple.
You can't bury the past with a cheque or with 25 years of silence.
You have to learn to live with that.
Now, instead of buying me out, you just bought yourself a partner.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES.]
Adam, Blake told me I might run into you here.
Yes.
Sorry we don't have time for a drink, Jeff, but after this, I go to San Francisco.
Didn't know we had business in San Francisco.
Trouble with our refinery.
Oh, really? If there was trouble, I would have heard about it.
Don't worry, Jeff, if there is a problem, I can take care of it.
Or be the cause of it.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Excuse me.
- Excuse me.
Look at the signature again, Rita.
Krystle Carrington.
I've signed her name a hundred times.
And it's getting better every time.
Now again.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
- Who is it? KRYSTLE: Sammy Jo, it's Krystle.
[WHlSPERS.]
Oh, my God.
[lN NORMAL VOlCE.]
Just a minute.
- Quick, in the bedroom.
- What's the matter? What's going on? - Just don't ask questions.
- I'm doing something.
It's-- It's Krystle.
Oh, my God.
Auntie Krystle.
I have to talk to you.
You came all the way from Denver to give me a lecture.
You could've saved yourself a trip.
I just want us to sit down for a while and talk.
We're family, and I care what happens to you.
Just as long as I do exactly what you say, and act the way you want me to.
I know what it's been like for you.
Losing your mother and moving from town to town.
- Never knowing a real family.
- It's a real hard-luck story.
But I just don't have time for it now.
I wanna help.
Not just approve cheques, but be a part of your life.
Why do you think Daniel made me executrix of his estate? - Obviously because he didn't trust me.
- No, that's not the reason.
Your father wanted us to be a part of each other.
Now, he knew that you'd been alone too long, and-- And in spite of our differences, he knew that I love you.
Look, I'm late for an appointment, and I've gotta change.
Maybe another time.
Couldn't you change your appointment? When I get to Denver, I'll give you a call.
We can meet whenever you want, wherever you want.
Just not now.
I-- I came so far to see you.
If you'd only called, Auntie Krystle.
I just can't see you now.
Uh, when I get to Denver, I'll call, I promise.
All right.
That's quite a lady.
Don't let her kid you.
It's an act.
- Maybe.
- What's gotten into you? Krystle Carrington.
That's some act to follow.
That's not just a signature, or money.
That's real flesh and blood.
And by God, I'm gonna do justice by her.
Let's go to work.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
- Who's there? MAN: Room service.
CLAUDlA: Adam.
You can't stay hidden in this hotel room forever.
Adam, I came here to be away.
To be alone.
You don't wanna be alone any more than I do.
I missed you.
- Adam, please.
- Please what? Please let you run away? Who are you afraid of, Claudia? You or me? I'm afraid of us both.
I think that we're wrong for each other.
We're right for each other.
When are you gonna realise that? Adam, look, I've make a lot of mistakes in my life.
I've hurt people, I've been hurt.
I just need some time to think.
- I need time to be alone.
- Claudia.
I lied to my father to track you down.
I said there was trouble with the refineries.
Then I called every hotel in San Francisco until I did find you.
No matter where you go, no matter how many lies I have to tell, I'll always find you.
In spite of yourself, you'll be waiting for me.
Oh, Adam.
It is in spite of myself.
I can't deny what I feel for you.
I don't even know if I can fight it any longer.
I just know I'm afraid to give into it.
Claudia, there's a feast waiting for us.
Oh, Adam.
[CLAUDlA GASPS.]
- Now.
- What? Don't let it go to waste.
[CLAUDlA GASPS.]
- Together we can have it all.
- Oh, Adam.
JEFF: You saw her? - She was here and you saw her? - Yeah, that could have been her.
Didn't know who she was, or how she got here.
Why didn't you check? You've a read-out of missing persons.
Their pictures, their histories, descriptions.
I understand your frustration, I really do, but understand mine.
Not talking about five people who happen into this office any given time.
Talking about hundreds in Los Angeles, thousands across the country.
Should've kept her until you found out.
Take a look around this place.
We got guys strung out on PCP.
We got gangs killing each other for control of a street corner.
This girl, I'm to drop everyhing, she doesn't know what she's doing? - She was here for help.
- Everyone needs help.
Now, look, you filed a missing persons report in Denver.
It's on the computer.
She'll show up again someplace.
FALLON: You're beautiful, aren't you? MlLES: So are you.
I've never seen her take to a stranger like that before.
- She does trust me, doesn't she? - Horses know by the touch.
They know whether you're nervous or insecure.
Oh, but I'm not.
I don't know why.
The stables, the feel of it.
As if I've been a part of it all my life.
- I wanna ride her, Miles.
- Wait a moment.
You don't know whether you've been on a horse.
Well, there's one way to find out.
I gotta know, Miles.
Randall, slow down.
Be careful.
- Pull her up.
- Let's see what we're made of, girl.
[HORSE WHlNNlES THEN FALLON GRUNTS.]
Randall? - Are you all right, Randall? - I'm all right.
I fell, but I knew how to ride.
I've ridden before, Miles.
I know horses.
I know how they move, how to move with them.
And now what? You move on to find another clue? Oh, Miles, you really are the only one who cares.
But I've gotta find out who I am.
If you do, I've got news for you.
I'm not letting you go.
Ever.
Darling, if Sammy Jo agreed to sit down and work out your problems, even if it's here in Denver, and not in New York, well, it seems to me the trip was worthwhile.
She agreed, but, uh, I had the feeling she would've agreed to anything just to get me out.
Well, the next move is hers.
- I'm just glad you're here.
- So am l.
But I can't help thinking that something was going on.
Not just an appointment she was late for, but something she was hiding.
It doesn't take this long to remove a few bandages.
And she had an appointment at the hairdresser's three hours ago.
Where is she? Why? Why didn't you go with her? She wouldn't let me.
She went to get her hair coloured, and you weren't here.
I mean, I can't force her to let me go with her.
You'd better learn to force her.
We can't have a Krystle Carrington look-alike window shopping in a dime-store.
Rita? Are you all right, princess? - Where have you been? - Window shopping.
You know, one of the things you see when you look in a window is your own reflection.
Well, I kept going from store to store, looking for myself, but I couldn't find me, Joel.
Rita doesn't exist anymore.
This is you, Rita.
What you've always dreamed of becoming.
Tell me what you see.
It's perfect.
Perfect.
Same engine, but a brand new chassis.
Now the glasses.
Go ahead, Rita.
Take a look in the mirror.
- Go on, go on.
- I'm afraid.
It's a miracle.
Our miracle.
I told you we could do the impossible.
And now no one No one can take it away from us.
Michael, come to bed.
It's late.
I can't sleep.
Well, there's other things to do in bed besides sleep.
Amanda, I'm sorry, but I've got things on my mind.
Well, then share them with me.
You know, living here like this, we're like exiled children.
Like husband and wife.
Michael, I love you.
And I want to help you.
Then just accept the fact that we're not mere husband and wife.
My father is dead.
And we have responsibilities to my country and its people.
And what about us? Michael, I feel as if I'm locked in a tower, waiting for you to grant me an audience.
If we don't have love between us, what do we have? Oh, God, Amanda, I don't know.
But until my country is free, and we're back where we belong, I don't know what we've got.
- Oh, look, those are good.
- Yes.
Little face all Blake, that necklace.
Amanda would love it.
Yes, it would be pretty on her, wouldn't it? What is it, darling? What's the matter? - That man.
BLAKE: What about him? I've seen him someplace.
Not here in Denver, but someplace else.
I can't remember.
If we're gonna make that dinner date tonight, I suggest that we go up-- What is it? What's wrong? That man, Blake, the one I saw on the street.
I saw him outside Sammy Jo's apartment in New York.
You're sure? That look he gave me, as if he knew me.
It was him, Blake.
He frightens me.
- Oh, Joel, it's beautiful.
- It's perfect for her and you.
Looking at you is like looking at our future.
Oh, it will work.
And Sammy Jo will get her money, and we'll get our cut.
We're not settling for a cut.
- But we made a deal.
- We'll keep our deal.
Sammy Jo can have her money, she can have all of it.
We're going after Carrington's money.
All of it.
