Dynasty s06e26 Episode Script

Good morning, Ben.
You're not gonna like this, Alexis.
Oh, that.
Heh.
Yes, I've seen it.
I thought you were going to tell me about something serious.
It says here that Blake's grabbing up your stock with both hands.
He's put his refinery up for sale to raise money.
I know.
I bought it.
It was a bargain.
You're awfully calm for a woman under siege, Alexis.
What did you have for dinner last night, steel filings? Ha.
No, it's just that Blake's pathetic attempts to flex his muscles and try and take over my company don't faze me one bit.
There is something that does, though.
That being? That being the identity of the woman with whom you were sleeping the day that your mother died in the fire.
Alexis.
You don't think I'm the kind to kiss and tell, do you? Listen to me, Ben.
I perjured myself on that stand for you and now my sister is out to call me a liar and I've got to know the name of that woman.
What will you do, Alexis? Neutralise her? [SCOFFS.]
I always have my own way of dealing with people.
And there's never been a man or a woman yet, Ben, that I haven't been able to deal with.
You already got enough on your plate fending off the hostile takeover bid.
You just grind Blake into the dust.
Leave the rest to me.
All of a sudden it's, "Leave the rest to Mr.
Macho Man," We are partners, Ben.
The day that you play it upfront is the day we'll become real partners.
Until then I keep my own counsel.
I don't need help from you or anybody else.
Are you finished with your pronouncements? Because here's one for you: Don't play games with me, Ben, because I always win.
And if you're not gonna give me the name of that woman, I'll find her myself without your bloody help.
All sweetness and light, aren't you, Alexis? I'm what I am.
And that's why I am where I am.
Don't you ever forget that.
Blake, we're talking about a billion dollars.
Mm-hm.
And with interest rates the way they are today, that means a nice profit for you, Winston.
I don't know, Blake.
Not that you haven't been a good client.
I have been a good client, and you know it.
It's just that the bank regulators are cracking down on loans.
They're watching every transaction very carefully.
Winston, you don't think that I'd put my own company in jeopardy now, do you? And the feds are reviewing their position on these leveraged buyouts.
Winston, I am not a wild-eyed speculator off on a spree.
You've never lost money with me yet, and I assure you, you're not going to do it now.
I'd like to say yes, but All right.
All right, here's my trump card.
I was hoping I wouldn't have to play it, but I am willing to put up my South China Sea oil leases as collateral.
And with the way the wells out there are pumping oil, those leases are worth at least seven times what I'm trying to borrow.
They're leases, Blake.
Don't forget you don't own them.
And you've had trouble with the Chinese before.
Now, you know that I wouldn't propose a deal unless I could make it work.
Blake, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to pass.
It's because of those things that were said about me at the trial.
Isn't that right? Because my stock is down.
Well, come on.
If you're gonna turn me down on a deal, tell me the truth.
The truth is, the oil market's very weak right now.
We don't know what kind of money you're gonna get.
Damn it, that's the nature of the business.
It's always been that way.
Since when does that mean that you don't make a deal? Calm down, Blake.
Now, you're under a lot of stress right now, why don't you get away for a few days? I don't need a few days.
I know what I'm doing.
- Do you? - Yes.
You've thought this all through? Yes, of course I have.
You'll have to excuse me, Winston.
If you can't help me, then I've got more important business to do with people who can.
Good day.
Barbara, get me Mr.
Schaffer at our bank in New York.
I remember one day I brought lunch out to you and Blake in the field.
You had your shirt off.
It's a sight I've carried with me for years.
Well, I'm sure you didn't invite me for a drink to talk about my chest.
What's on your mind? No, really, I just wanted to catch up, reminisce.
You never took any notice of me when I was a kid, and I always wished you would.
I expect you think I'm silly.
Oh, I never think of you as silly.
You didn't even know I was alive.
You were quite a womaniser.
Had a hundred women, you never took any notice of me.
Oh, no, no, I remember you.
Kind of gawky and scrawny, but not bad.
[CHUCKLES.]
Jealous of your sister, I do remember that.
I've heard the steak is very good here.
I wasn't jealous of her.
She was interested in Blake.
I thought that you were the real prize.
But you were seeing that other woman.
What was her name? - Who? - Oh, you know the one.
Oh, I can't think of her name.
But I used to lie awake at night fantasising about you, and then I'd picture her, and I'd know that you were with her.
And I'd just want to die.
Sounds like you had quite a lurid imagination as a teenager.
The product of an overdeveloped libido, no doubt.
I always used to wonder, what does she have that I haven't? What does he see in her that's missing in me? But what was her name? It's gonna drive me crazy.
I think she had red hair.
What were you doing, Caress, peeking through windows? Shame on you.
[CHUCKLES.]
But it does sound as though we have some unfinished business together, you and l.
What did you have in mind? Well, how's this? To settle once and for all that our paths didn't cross much in the past, and there was probably very good reason for it.
Let's keep it that way in the future.
On second thought, I'm not in the mood for steak.
[MOUTHlNG.]
Damn it.
Ben Carrington.
Heh.
What's he up to these days? Still busting up bars and breaking hearts? He's recently come into a great deal of money.
You may have read about it in the papers.
Oh, I did, and if I know Ben, he'll gamble it away, every dollar.
You knew him quite well, didn't you? He was one of my best customers.
Thank you.
Did you know him around the time of the fire? Honey, I've known him since the day he was 15 years old to the day he left home.
Mm.
He used to raise a lot of hell.
Not a bad sort, though.
Hmm.
Was he here the day of the fire? Not that I know of.
Think back carefully.
Are you sure he wasn't with one of your girls when the fire broke out? Why are you asking? It's in Ben's best interest that I find out.
You see, all that money that he won at the trial is in danger of being taken from him.
Now, he could protect himself, if he gives the lady's name, but he's being noble.
Ben, noble? Must be a different Ben.
Heh-heh.
Unless he's had a personality transplant in the last 20 years.
Well, be that as it may, it's of great concern to me to find out where Ben was the day of the fire.
He wasn't here.
Any idea where he was? That's the last one.
I don't know where he was.
You see, by that time, he'd fallen in love.
With an amateur.
They used to meet on the other side of the town.
Who? Who was she? How should I know? He never told me.
Too noble, I guess.
Are you sure? You said yourself that nobility isn't one of his strong points.
All he ever said was that she was married.
It was some big secret.
Married to whom? I don't know, some Colorado big shot, I think.
Prominent family, plenty of money.
I had to hand it to Ben though, for keeping it all a secret, even if it did lose me a lot of business.
But you never knew her name? Sorry.
No, you've been a great help.
Thank you.
Oh You busy? Yes, I am.
Regrettably.
Miss Robson, I am paying you for information.
If that's the best you can do, you are not earning your money.
He's been turned down by every bank in town.
That's all I know.
You don't want me to make up things, do you? You have the reputation for being one of the shrewdest insiders in the Wall Street community, and you are not telling me anything that I couldn't find out from a bank teller.
I need more.
Word is, he's trying to raise a billion dollars.
A billion.
Hmm.
Well, no one ever said that I came cheap.
He's scheduled a meeting in New York City.
He may be on his way to the East Coast by now.
And he's going to use his South China Sea oil leases as collateral.
How do you know that? Let's just say, I know it.
But I need to know your source.
Sorry, I sell information, not sources.
Look, I have to operate on the basis of this information.
How can I be sure it's reliable? - My word and reputation.
- That's not good enough.
Mrs.
Colby, I'm not going to give you his name.
His name.
Hmm.
I thought so.
You're obviously protecting some bed partner, no doubt.
Well, let's just hope that your information is accurate.
Will you be in contact with New York yourself? [CHUCKLES.]
I'm buying information, not selling.
I'll let you know if I have any further need for your services, however.
Until then, good day.
Eddie, I want you to find out if Kai Liu is still in San Francisco.
I want you to make an appointment with him as soon as possible.
Yes, Kai Liu.
He's an assistant with the Chinese oil ministry.
I want you to tell him that I have some very important information for him about the South China Sea oil leases.
Yes.
Some information that he will not be able to ignore.
You're an hour late.
I thought something had happened.
It has.
Some people are nosing around, asking questions.
It's more important than ever to keep quiet.
What people? - What questions? - That part of it doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters is you say nothing to anyone.
Who? What? - Ben, you've got to tell me.
- No.
Look, it's gonna be tough.
You may have to withstand a lot of pressure.
Pressure.
My God, all I live with is pressure.
It's only for a little while, but you've got to stay strong.
One word to anyone and we could both end up in jail.
- Jail? - That's right.
For conspiracy.
So keep your mouth shut.
Look, I can't go into it all now.
The important things is, keep to yourself, talk to nobody.
Just hang tight.
It won't be for long.
Oh, I think we'd better make a clean breast of it.
- I could tell Buck.
- No.
Don't you dare do that.
Look, just hang on a little while longer and everyhing will be all right.
[STARTS ENGlNE.]
Going on a trip, Blake? None of your business.
So testy.
More trouble at home? Krystle pulling the old headache routine again? You know damn well what the trouble is, and it's got nothing to do with my home.
Oh, yes, of course.
You're upset because Colbyco's been buying up all your shares.
That's understandable.
You do look a little bit under the weather.
Speaking for myself, I've never felt better.
Watching your Carrington empire crumble and everyhing you've worked all your life for disappear is the most fun I've had in years.
Well, that's very nice.
And you enjoy it for as long as you can because it may not be fun much longer.
- Now, if you'll excuse me? - Give my regards to the Big Apple.
Make sure you don't get one with a worm in it.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
- Hi.
- Krystle.
Oh.
I completely forgot about our appointment.
I am so happy to see you.
Well, I know you've had a lot on your mind.
- Have you heard from Jackie yet? - No.
Not one word since the last phone call I told you about.
She keeps calling, but she will not tell me where she is.
Garrett's called in the police.
I can imagine how hard this is for you.
If there's anything I can do The worst part-- The worst part is blaming myself for everyhing that has happened.
Oh, why should you blame yourself? I blame myself for lying to her.
For inventing this romantic hero for her father, and then continuing this deception for all these years.
Would it have been better for her to have known she was illegitimate? I don't know.
I always thought not.
But I lied to Jackie out of pride, and now I am paying a terrible price for that.
Dominique, what you did, you did out of love.
Twenty years ago, having a child out of wedlock wasn't the same as it is today.
But-- She is so angry at me.
She's angry now, yes.
The shock's still new.
- But once you find her-- - If I find her.
Once you find her, you'll talk to her.
You'll make her understand.
The important thing is, she loves you and she knows you love her.
But does she love me? Or is she so angry that it's killed all the love in her? If she didn't love you, she wouldn't call you.
[SlGHS.]
And now that Garrett's back, she can have the father she's always wanted.
Krystle.
I haven't made any decisions about Garrett Boydston.
But he is her father.
I know he's her father, but I have kept them apart all these years.
And now he wants to be a part of her life.
But you never gave him a chance.
Give him a chance? How could I give him a chance? He was married to someone else.
Have you shown it to anyone yet? No, I haven't, but I won't hesitate to.
It doesn't mean what you think it means.
It means exactly what I think it does.
It is a power of attorney, which gives you the authority to buy, sell, transfer anything you want to within the company.
I made a copy of it before you took it away.
Claudia, give it to me, you don't understand.
Of course I understand.
You made Blake sign this when he was sick.
You called me to brag about it, and now I've seen it for myself.
It's not what you think it is.
Fine, then you won't mind if I show it to Blake.
- Wait a minute.
- Would you let go of me? What do you want with a stupid oil well? I want it because I deserve it, because it's mine.
And if you don't use this power of attorney to transfer it to me I'm gonna show it to Blake.
It's just as simple as that.
Claudia.
Is this all that's left of us? Yes.
I am going to leave this family for good and I consider this my severance pay.
And if you don't do what I ask, I swear, you are going to regret it for the rest of your life.
- Caress? CARESS: Mm.
Ah.
I wasn't sure I'd recognise you.
It's been so many years.
Years that have been very kind to you, Emily.
You look radiant.
Oh, I do not, but it's nice of you to say it.
You know, I was trying to remember the last time I'd seen you.
And I think it was just before we left Colorado Springs.
Now, that must be-- More years than either of us cares to admit to, I'm sure.
But I always remember you so fondly.
You were such a young bride, with so many problems and yet you always treated me as a friend.
It all seems so long ago.
Yes, the trial has stirred up so many memories, hasn't it? I remember being rather worried about you at the time.
Your husband, the brand new senator, away in Denver.
And you all alone in Colorado Springs.
[SlGHS.]
It wasn't long before I left and joined him there.
Yes, but the loneliness.
I remember wondering if you might be having an affair.
Don't be silly.
I was too in love with Buck.
Look, it's late.
I-- Yes, but Buck was away for so much of the time, and the longing, the physical need.
It can get too much.
Caress, you said you had some news that would be of interest to me.
Why don't you just get to the point? I've spent some time the last few days in Colorado Springs.
Do you remember a boy they called Little Jimmie? - No.
- Yes, of course you do.
Little Jimmie? His parents used to run the old rooming house on the outskirts of town.
No, I can't seem to remember.
[CHUCKLES.]
The no-tell motel we used to call it, because it was so far from the centre of town that the only people who ever went there were lovers who didn't want to be seen.
It's an antique store now.
[SlGHS.]
That's interesting.
How is Little Jimmie? He remembers Ben, and the young bride that he used to take there for their secret assignations.
Well, you see, they had to be secretive because she was married to a state legislator, and if anything had ever been found out about her affair, it would have meant the end of his career, not to mention her marriage.
How much do you want? Are you offering me money? Emily, I'm your friend.
Nobody's ever known about this.
Nobody must ever know.
What do you want? Only the truth, with which you have just provided me.
And for which I thank you very much.
Alexis, I have looked forward to meeting again with you since those days in Acapulco.
- And I you.
- Ha-ha-ha.
You are kind to say it, but you barely noticed me in Acapulco.
You were more interested in my superior, Minister Han.
I was so determined to get those leases.
I had so much on my mind, but I did notice you.
Something tells me you didn't want to see me to revive what only existed, I'm afraid, in my fantasy.
Ha-ha.
What can I do for you? I want you to arrange a meeting for me with Minister Han.
It's crucial that I see him as soon as possible.
That's easier said than done.
Well, if anyone can do it, I know you can.
Your secretary said it regarded the South China Sea oil leases? Yes, and Blake Carrington.
I'm sure that you heard about the trial, which told the truth about Blake.
And revealed how he was responsible for his mother's death, and cheating his brother out of his inheritance.
Mr.
Carrington has always behaved honourably towards us.
You may think so.
I only mention the trial because it shows his true character.
To be blunt, Mr.
Liu, Blake is cheating your government out of its royalties.
You have figures to document it? I can get them in ten days.
And if I set up this meeting you desire? I would definitely make it worth your while.
Shall we say Hong Kong in ten days? Hong Kong it is.
And thank you, Mr.
Liu, for all of your kindness.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Hello, I want you to get me George Mackenzie at the Colbyco office in Hong Kong.
George, it's Alexis.
I am going to be in Hong Kong in seven days, and I want you to get me all the figures on Blake Carrington's South China Sea operation.
And they're gonna need a little doctoring.
How are we going to do that? Well, George, we're going to have three days to figure out how, and we will.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
What the hell am I supposed to do with these? Dexter, don't you ever wait to be let into an office? Look at these bills.
For pipe, for equipment, for tracking.
- I hear you're not gonna pay them.
- That's not true.
I am not going forward with the pipeline at this time.
I've had to suspend operations.
- For how long? - I don't know yet.
Oh, come on, Blake, we've already started.
I've dug ground, I've laid pipe.
You've already committed to this.
And I still am.
It's just a temporary delay.
There's an oil spill in San Miguel Harbour and I think I can use my money better elsewhere.
How? The takeover of Colbyco? Not that it's any of your business, but yes.
Damn it, Blake, you can't do that.
Are you telling me what I can do and what I can't do? I have put a lot of money into this pipeline, and I'm committed to it.
Now, you uphold your end of the contract, or so help me, I'll take you to court, and I'll win.
Dexter, this is still my company, and I will decide what to do with our money.
Now, look, we've had our differences in the past but I think we respect each other.
That doesn't make this okay.
Look, my life is on the line here, and I have no choice but to do what I'm doing.
[SlGHS.]
You know, you're crazy, you know that? Somebody has got to tell you, it might as well be me.
You and Alexis have pledged to destroy each other, and you're willing to kill anything that gets in your way.
I don't care what I have to do to stop you, Blake, because I am not gonna allow you to take me with you.
AMANDA [lN VOlCEOVER.]
: "Dear Mother, I don't know if you can ever forgive me for what I've done, but " Dear Mother What are you writing? The Great American Novel? [SlGHS.]
Oh, I'm sorry.
None of my business.
You just looked so serious.
You're right, it isn't any of your business.
You know, the last time I saw you here, you were asking for a job.
And now you're hanging out Iike some French existentialist at a cafe.
I don't remember asking you to join me.
[CHUCKLES.]
We must have gotten off on the wrong foot, because every time I see you you brush me off.
Well, maybe that's because I want to be alone, and you can't take a hint.
Hey, Amanda, you forgot-- Amanda.
Amanda, I'm sorry.
You're more upset than I realised.
- Excuse me.
- Look, don't drive away mad.
- Come on, let's go talk.
- No.
Amanda, I'm sorry, all right? Now, let's go have a cup of coffee and we'll talk.
[ENGlNE STARTS.]
[TYRES SCREECHlNG.]
Well, here we are again.
Don't you ever give up? No.
Besides, I'm always looking for a thrill.
[TYRES SCREECHlNG.]
Amanda, look, I know you're upset, but take it from me, driving fast is no way to resolve your problems.
What's the matter, scared? I know what it feels like to think you've let your family down.
This letter you were writing to your mother, I found it, you left it behind.
I don't believe you.
Isn't there anything you don't think is your business? I was just trying to help.
I think we have a lot in common.
Maybe you just want to talk about it.
Oh, and you could give me just the right advice, and everyhing would be fine.
Well, I've got news for you, and everybody else who thinks they know what's best for me.
I don't need any help.
I can do a perfectly fine job running my life on my own.
Amanda, look out.
[HORNS HONKlNG.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
There you go, big boy.
I'll see you tomorrow.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye.
Love you.
Sammy Jo? Where did you go with him? We went to the zoo, not that it's any business of yours.
You're only supposed to visit him here at the house.
For God's sake, Steven, relax.
I'm not gonna kidnap him.
We're just having a good time.
You and Clay? Oh, that's it.
It's all right for me to have boyfriends, Steven, I'm a girl.
I don't want you taking him out with you on dates.
He's my son.
I care how he's influenced.
Oh, well, so do l.
Just because there's no one in your life doesn't mean you can stop me from having someone in mine.
It just so happens, there's nothing wrong with Clay Fallmont as an influence or a role model for Danny.
At least he's straight.
Okay.
Okay, now, what happened? [lNDlSTlNCT POLlCE RADlO CHATTER.]
I don't know.
It all happened so fast.
Oh, officer, it was my fault.
I was driving.
I don't know, the car must have just gone out of control.
- Let me have your licence.
- Yeah.
Have you had anything to drink today? No, sir.
All right, we'd like to do a few tests, Mr.
Fallmont.
Sure.
- Officer-- - Amanda, I'll take care of this.
What do you want me to do? Put your arms out at your side.
Close your eyes.
[SlGHS.]
Bring one finger of your right hand to your nose and one finger of your left hand to your nose.
EMlLY: Ben.
What are you doing here? I followed you.
- Ben, Caress Morell knows about us.
- What? I don't know how she found out.
Look, I'm so afraid.
It's all gonna come out now.
If Buck learns about this-- It was so long ago.
Why is this happening? Emily, stop it.
Nothing is gonna come of this, believe me.
You just leave Caress Morell to me.
[ELEVATOR DOOR OPENS.]
Alexis, we've got to talk.
We've already talked.
Look, Blake has halted all work on the pipeline.
I need close to a million dollars to keep it going.
You don't really expect me to give you the money, do you? Look, Alexis, I'll put up my $500,000, how about you putting up yours? We're still partners.
And as much as you hate Blake, as much as you hate me, you're still a good businesswoman.
And the pipeline is too important to sacrifice for some crazy vendetta against Blake.
Vendetta? He's trying to take over my company, I'm simply acting in self-defence.
Whatever, I'm not gonna get between you and Blake.
You two can kill each other for all I care.
The important thing is, don't kill the pipeline.
Heh.
The answer is no.
Why not? Because you haven't shown yourself to be a very good risk.
Alexis, this makes good sense and you know it.
Can't you put aside your personal feelings for something bigger? You should have thought about my personal feelings before you raided the kindergarten.
No, Dex, I'm afraid you'll have to go somewhere else for your loan.
Now, I'm busy, please excuse me.
So that's it, isn't it? This isn't about you and Blake, it's about me and Amanda and your big chance to get revenge on me for that.
- Enjoying it? - It has its plusses.
I also know that you got involved with Ben Carrington to get back at me.
What's next, Alexis? Streetwalking? Face it, Alexis.
I'm the best man you ever had in your bed, and you know it.
And you miss me.
You've never stopped missing me.
Because I did not kill my mother.
It was my brother, Blake Carrington.
That's a lie.
Liar.
- He killed her.
- Liar.
Blake.
- Blake, are you all right? - Huh? Yeah.
I must have been dreaming that same dream again.
Oh, Blake.
I can't stand to see you go through this night after night.
I'm all right.
I'm fine.
No, you're not fine, not even when you sleep.
I guess because when I'm asleep, there's nothing I can do.
At least when I'm awake, there are things I can do.
Why is Ben doing this? Is it the money? The revenge? And how can he justify this to himself? Oh, darling, you mustn't worry about me.
Now, I'm going to fight this and I'm going to win.
As long as-- As long as I have you here with me.
[SlGHS.]
- Where are you going? - I've gotta go down to the office.
Blake, it's dawn.
Not in New York.
The stock market will be opening soon.
Wall Street will be opening.
I've got to be on top of things.
Don't worry about me, please.
I've got to work this out.
At least when I'm working At least when I'm working, I'm doing something.
Nice of you to call, Bob, I appreciate it.
Well, when I heard about the trouble you were having at the banks, it seemed like one of those rare times when friendship and good business can be combined.
So you're willing to be my white knight, huh? I'm willing to put up $100 million against one of your companies.
- How does that sound? - Sounds like pennies from heaven.
Which company did you have in mind? ELC holdings.
They're about equivalent in value, so I'm willing to give you a 60-day buy-back agreement at ten percent.
What do you say? Seems fair.
Fine.
I'm really very grateful to you.
Excuse me, Mr.
Ashmore.
Father, could I have a word with you? Yeah.
[WHlSPERlNG.]
There's a great deal of valuable real estate in ELC holdings.
[WHlSPERlNG.]
Yes, I know that, but those holdings will be in honest hands.
I know that I can buy them back within the allotted time, I'm sure of that.
- I think you're taking a hell of a risk.
- I think it'll be fine.
Besides, the man is a friend.
[lN NORMAL VOlCE.]
All right, Bob, you've got yourself a deal.
If a 60-day period is agreeable, I've taken the liberty of drawing up the papers in advance.
[ELEVATOR DOOR OPENS.]
Krystle.
What a surprise.
Not delivering a ticking bomb, are you? How much longer is this going to go on? I presume you know what you're talking about.
Care to make that two of us? You know very well what I'm talking about.
You're destroying him.
Krystle, if only I could believe that.
Tell me, is that the good or the bad news? Why do you hate him so? What did he ever do to you? It's a long story.
Every word you said on that stand was a lie.
Blake couldn't have hurt his mother.
He worshipped her.
I loved her too.
- You know he didn't kill her.
- And you think I did? She was my mother as well.
Then for her sake, tell the truth.
Why should l? Because it's a lie, and you know Blake doesn't deserve this.
Are you kidding? Blake's blamed me for this for over half of my life.
I didn't do it any more than he did so let him take the blame for a while.
Is it the money? Then keep the money.
Just tell the truth and clear his name.
And then go back to Australia and be a good boy, and keep out of your hair and out of your lives? Sorry.
What do you want? What would it take for you to give this up? Lady, you don't know what it feels like to be an outcast, despised by your family, a scapegoat for something beyond your control.
But Blake did it, blamed me for something I didn't do.
So now he's suffering? Good.
Clear his name? Why should l? I haven't enjoyed anything so much in years.
Now, driving that way, Clay, is not only dangerous, it's reckless and irresponsible.
Yes, sir.
BLAKE: You have a reputation as a daredevil, but taking my daughter off on a wild joyride like that-- Daddy.
It wasn't his fault.
Amanda, don't try to take the blame.
He wasn't driving, I was.
He took the blame for me because-- Because he's a gentleman, and he was trying to protect me.
But he's got nothing to do with what happened.
It's my fault.
Is that true? I'm still to blame.
I tried to get Amanda to talk about things she didn't want to talk about.
- I started an argument-- - Daddy, he's just being polite.
I was driving.
It's my fault.
Clay, would you leave us alone for a few minutes, please? Sure.
[BLAKE SlGHS.]
Amanda, do you realise how serious this could have been? I'm very sorry.
You could have killed somebody or killed yourself.
I know.
Now, darling, is there something that you want to talk to me about? Is there something that's been troubling you? Look, I said I was sorry.
Isn't that enough? Amanda, what is wrong with you? Everyhing.
Nothing.
I don't know.
- That's not an answer.
- I don't wanna talk about this.
Well, I do.
My God-- Amanda, what are you doing with your life? Nothing, I guess.
Maybe you'd just better admit it, Daddy, you've got a hopeless failure for a daughter.
Turns out Amanda was driving the car.
If it hadn't been for young Fallmont, she'd-- She'd have wound up in jail.
Blake, I went to see your brother, Ben, today.
You did? Why? I had to.
I had to see if there was anything I could do.
He hates you, Blake.
He's consumed with jealousy and envy.
You can't say I didn't warn you.
Darling, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but, really, you've gotta let me handle this by myself.
I've never seen anyone so angry, so vicious.
He's driven.
He and Alexis make a fine team.
Blake, it frightens me.
He won't be satisfied until he's destroyed you.
I guess he hasn't heard, I'm indestructible.
I'm sorry that you had to see my brother at his worst.
Maybe now you understand why this is so important to me.
Blake, I'm scared.
It's like Cain and Abel.
He wants to see you dead.
This is Bob Ashmore.
It's done, we got it, ELC holdings.
But only for 60 days, so you better move fast.
Sixty days.
That will give me all the time that I need.
