The Portrait

-Hi.
-Hi.
Isleptfornearlyan hour.
What a nice place to wake up.
- Blake.
- Hmm? Who do you love? I love Eleanor Roosevelt, the Denver Nroncos and you.
No.
Only you, Krystle.
You sure? Yes, I'm sure.
Then how come this plane you hired is flying so damn slowly? It shouldn't.
I bet the pilot 50 bucks that he couldn't knock a half hour off our flying time.
PlLOT [OVER lNTERCOM.]
: Hong Kong in 35 minutes.
Picked up a tail wind, Mr.
Carrington.
I'm afraid you lost your bet.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
How long are we gonna be in Hong Kong? Oh, just long enough to see Nen.
- You sure you wanna do that? - Yes, I am.
He was the one that got me off that oil rig, remember? Finally, for the first time since we were kids, he's acting like a brother.
I can't just let it pass.
Well, I guess we have time for a glass of wine before we land.
Pouilly-Fuisse or Chablis? - Blake? - Hmm? You were thinking about those five days you spent with Alexis, weren't you? No.
No, I wasn't.
Darling, it's all right.
You had a life together once.
You had four children.
- Nut I wasn't thinking about-- - Nlake, I understand.
When I married you I knew that you'd think about that from time to time.
Nut it's a small, small price to pay for what I have.
Heh.
I don't deserve you.
Oh, yes, you do.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
All right.
Yes, I do.
- Pouilly-Fuisse or Chablis? - You choose.
I choose you.
Do you know that I've booked us into the best hotel suite in the best hotel in Hong Kong? With a fireplace.
Glad you lost your bet.
Oh, that's nice.
Obviously done with love.
Dex, I'm so glad you're here.
Now that Nlake's gone? We met at the hotel last night.
He told me everything.
- Is he all right? - Yeah.
From the moment he saw Krystle, he was fine.
What the hell were you trying to accomplish, Alexis? Was it those oil leases? If Nlake told you everything, he told you I tore them up.
And if you think that it was a ploy to seduce him, you're wrong.
You didn't spend all those days working on that.
What did the two of you do between sittings? We talked, we laughed, we reminisced.
Heh.
We even danced together.
I found myself going back into a period of my life in which I was more sensitive to feelings, especially my own.
In which I was able to love more easily.
So you danced your way through old times, while I wasted five days and nights trying to track you down.
Worried about you, worried sick.
I'm sorry about that.
I had a job to do back in Denver, Alexis.
Responsibilities.
But I took off as soon as I heard about the explosion.
First to Hong Kong, then Singapore.
I checked out every hospital, hotel, police station, name it.
While you painted Nlake, while you danced with Nlake.
I told you I was sorry! - Are you? - Yes! Do you honestly give a damn about me? Of course I do.
My God, this is so bizarre.
For years you've been going on at me to end my feud with Nlake.
Nut you didn't really want that at all, did you? What are you talking about? Admit it, Dex.
You're jealous of him.
You always have been and you always will be.
Now, would you please leave? I want to finish this painting.
- Finish it! - Get out of here, Dex! Hello, Kai? I want you to book me on the next flight to San Francisco and then to Denver.
[THUNDER CRASHlNG.]
DANNY: Daddy, Daddy.
I'm scared.
Oh, come on, champ.
You, scared? - It's the thunder.
- Oh, listen.
Danny, you remember what I told you one time about thunder? Thunder is just two big old clouds bumping into each other and going: [RUMBLlNG.]
- "Excuse me, pal.
" - Ha, ha.
- Right? Right? - Right.
Yeah, and what about--? What about lightning? - It's God's electricity.
- Yeah, that's right.
That's all it is.
So you don't have to be afraid of it, right? - Right.
- Yeah, okay.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
Let me see who's there.
Ah.
- Hi, Steven.
- Sammy Jo, come on in.
Hi, sweetheart.
[GRUNTS.]
Mommy, I was just scared of the thunder.
Well, you're here, safe inside, where nothing can hurt you.
- Mommy, I love you.
- I love you too.
It's getting late.
You should be in bed.
Can't you stay with us tonight? Oh, well, I just dropped by.
Give me another hug.
Mm.
Now get to bed.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES.]
I'm sorry, Steven.
I know I shouldn't have come.
No.
No, come on in.
I'll make some coffee or tea.
What do you want? No, no, thank you, l-- [SlGHS.]
It's just that I was all alone and suddenly there was a flash of lightning and then the thunder-- And you're more afraid of it than Danny is, in spite of your little act back there.
I remember.
The night of that big storm when I first came to the mansion and ended up in your bed.
Isn't Clay back at Delta Rho? No.
We had an argument about the annulment and he left in a huff.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I was hoping you two could work it out.
Uh-- - This is dumb.
I should just get going.
- Wait.
You'll just go home and be afraid all over again.
You can stay here.
Danny invited you and now I'm inviting you.
You sleep in my bed.
I'll take the couch.
Steven, thank you, but I can't.
Wait a minute.
Just take your coat off and I'll go get a pair of my pyjamas.
No argument, okay? Okay.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
- Ben? - Blake.
- May I come in? - Sure.
How's the leg? Oh, it's-- It's coming along.
You're my second Carrington visitor.
I have to tell you, the first was a lot prettier than you.
- Krystle, huh? - Mm-hm.
She's here with me in Hong Kong.
She's waiting at the hotel.
I wanted to see you alone.
You saved my life, Nen.
I wanna thank you for that.
Oh, for pulling you out of that mess on the rig? After what's been happening between us all these years, l-- I could have let you die.
Yes, but you didn't.
No.
Well, maybe I realised I had to make up for all the terrible things I've done to you.
Well, you've thanked me.
Now don't tell me you're gonna forgive me too.
Oh, no.
No, I'm not gonna do that.
You've done too much for me to wipe the slate clean, but [SlGHS.]
We are brothers.
We should try to get along.
We should try to make it work from now on.
That will be a little tough with me in lndonesia.
Indonesia? Well, I've never been too good at staying in one place for too long.
There's a lot of oil there.
Maybe I can make something of myself again.
You know anybody there? A few wildcatters.
Other men looking for a place to lose themselves, huh? Maybe.
Maybe I'm one of them.
So be it.
You know, it doesn't have to be that way.
- Oh, you got an alternative? - Mm-hm.
I'd like you to come back to Denver with me.
I'd like you to come home, Nen.
I can't believe these pyjamas fit you.
- They don't.
They shrank.
- Oh.
Danny would not let me wake you up this morning.
He figured his mommy just got out of the hospital, she needed some rest.
So we just gave you a kiss and, uh, we let you sleep.
[CHUCKLES.]
How did you sleep? I mean, you're such a big guy on such a short couch.
Well, let's put it this way.
Next time you get the couch.
Thank you.
You know, Danny was in a really good mood this morning when I took him to school.
And there were times not long ago he didn't wanna go at all.
And that's changed.
I think you've got a lot to do with it.
He thinks you're the greatest.
He's just a kid.
What does he know? I'm serious.
- You're wonderful with him.
- That's nice to hear.
You know what, Steven? I'm not all that hungry.
Besides, I'm not 6-foot-2 and I don't jog eight to nine miles every morning.
You used to do that when we were married, remember? You didn't know it, but I used to watch for you from the upstairs window, waiting for you.
Well, I'd better get going.
You've gotta go to the office and I've got things to do.
Clay.
I decided to come back last night.
I waited up all night for you.
Now, where the hell have you been? - I slept at Steven's.
- Heh.
My son happens to live with his father and I spent the night.
And how come you're still here? Necause I wanted to talk to you about forgetting the annulment.
About forgetting it and starting over.
It's over between us, Clay.
I'm no genius, but I'm smart enough to know that we both have to go our own ways.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
[CLAY SCOFFS.]
[SlGHS.]
You know, I've tried to be rational with you.
I said I loved you and I meant it.
I said I made a mistake and that I was sorry, but you won't forgive me, will you? You know what your problem is, Sammy Jo? You're still in love with your ex-husband.
That's ridiculous.
Oh, I think it's on the button.
You'd better think it over and see where it's gonna get you.
[FlRE CRACKLlNG.]
Well, I never promised you a rose garden in Hong Kong, but a fireplace, yes.
Well, it's nice to know you always keep your promise.
- I love you.
- Oh, Nlake, I love you.
I was so frightened those five days you were missing.
Oh, no, no, no.
That's past.
We forget about that.
No.
Let's just enjoy the night and us and the fire.
Reminds me of home.
Well, almost.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Speaking of home, I know this isn't the time, but I've got to tell you something.
- Oh, Nlake, not now.
- Oh, no, no, no, this is very important.
It's about Ben.
What about him? Well, I asked him to come back to Denver with us.
Stay with us for a while.
We'll all be on the first flight out tomorrow morning.
Darling, I wouldn't be here now if it weren't for Nen.
He risked his life for me.
Oh, I know, l-- I just can't forget everything he's done to you.
Well, he's made his apologies for that.
Nlake, I know he's your brother, but I can't help but feel protective.
He's dangerous and I'm worried.
Darling, I've got to try to make it work.
I've got to.
Just be careful.
Promise? Yes, I promise.
And I always keep my promises, remember? Good morning and welcome home, Mr.
Carrington, Mrs.
Carrington.
Thank you.
Gerard, would you prepare a room for my brother, please? He'll be staying with us for the next couple of days until he gets situated.
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.
KRlSTlNA: Mommy, Daddy.
- There's my daughter.
- There's Kristina.
KRYSTLE: Hello.
- Hello.
- Ha-ha-ha.
I missed you so much.
Yes, I missed you too.
So much.
Oh, do you know who this is? This is your Uncle Ben.
He's my brother.
- Do I get a kiss too? - Yes.
[BLAKE CHUCKLES.]
- Thank you, Kristina.
- All right, come on.
I'm gonna take you upstairs and show you this special present that I bought for my special bag of potatoes.
- Come on.
KRlSTlNA: Ha, ha.
[CHUCKLES.]
She's gonna grow up to be one of the world's true beauties.
Oh, as long as she's healthy and happy, that's all I care about.
You're not all that happy about my being here.
Well, I'll be leaving soon, but in the meantime, I'm gonna do everything I can to show you how much I appreciate Nlake's kindness.
I wish you would give me a chance, Krystle.
Well, I'll try, Nen, because you saved Nlake's life.
Nut as far as I'm concerned, you're still on trial.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
Yes? Oh, well, ask her to come in, please.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Hello, Blake.
Alexis.
I won't stay a minute.
I just came to see Steven, but he's out of the office.
Well, why don't you stay for a while? - Sit down.
- Thank you.
Nlake, I'm really worried about Amanda.
Have you heard anything from her? No, I've tried phoning her up at that cabin that she's sharing with Michael Culhane.
No answer.
- Is she still there? - I don't know.
Nut if I don't hear from her by tomorrow morning at the latest, I'm gonna drive up there and see what's going on.
Yes, that's a good idea.
Those terrible headaches that you were having in Singapore, have they gone? They come and they go, but they're not as bad as they were.
I'm glad.
The night that you left the house in Singapore when Krystle arrived, you were very angry with me.
Has that anger gone too? I was angry.
Nut now I'm very grateful to you for all the ways that you helped me then.
Oh.
I don't regret any of those days, Nlake.
We shared some wonderful moments together.
Nut I'm sorry that I lied to you about Krystle, not telling you who she was.
Maybe I lied because I wanted to go back to a truth that used to exist between us.
Alexis, I want to thank you for telling me the truth that night about who Krystle really was.
Well, I'm glad it's all worked out.
Now, I know you're busy and I'm sure that Steven's back in his office by now.
I've got to stop by the map room.
Why don't I walk you out? I woke up this morning laughing about something that happened in Singapore.
What was that? The night that the maid decided to cook us a real American dinner.
Oh, yes, yes, and she made oatmeal and hard-boiled eggs.
ALEXlS: Yes, closely followed by apple pie and popcorn.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
NLAKE: Yeah.
What about the night at our house when we did that terrible? Well, of course I was worried.
How else could I feel with no information about you and Dad except the few bits that Adam was willing to dole out? It was basically a business manoeuvre.
Adam works for Colbyco and you don't.
You must admit, you and I haven't exactly been close since you took Danny and moved out on me.
Mother, look, I didn't move out on you.
- I just had to take stock of my life.
- And have you? I feel like maybe I'm on the right road, yeah.
I'm developing a better understanding of people and their faults.
Or what I considered to be their faults.
- Sammy Jo, for instance.
- Oh, Sammy Jo.
I know that girl.
I recognise so many faults in her that I unfortunately sometimes see in myself.
Steven, I don't want her to hurt you and Danny.
You're too important to me for that.
[NOTH SlNGlNG.]
Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday - Happy birthday to you [LAUGHlNG.]
How old are you? - Three.
- Ha, ha, three.
That was wonderful, darling.
Excuse me, Mrs.
Carrington.
This just arrived, air freight.
- From whom? - I don't know, but it's from Singapore.
William took the liberty of uncrating it.
Would you open it, please? Okay, little one, it's time for your nap.
Oh.
Go with Jeanette.
I'll be right up, okay? Okay.
KRlSTlNA: Come on, Jeanette.
- Oh, I'm coming, I'm coming.
"Alexis.
" Krystle, you and Nlake have been very quiet about what happened in Singapore.
Would you like to talk about it? - There's nothing to talk about.
- Nut I really don't like to interfere.
I'm afraid someone has to say something.
Nlake obviously posed for this portrait, and willingly.
He and Alexis were alone in that villa together.
Doesn't that bother you, Krystle? Dominique, it's just a portrait.
She's painted them of her children and so she painted one of Nlake.
That's all.
I think she wanted to come between you and your husband.
I think she would still like to accomplish that.
I wouldn't put it past her.
I wouldn't put anything past her.
[DOOR OPENS.]
KATHY: I'm sorry, but you can't-- - You're wrong.
I can see him.
All right, Kathy.
Thank you.
What the devil do you want here, Culhane? Where's Amanda? Where is she? Where's Amanda? Last we heard, she was with you.
I went sailing for a few hours.
When I came back, I found these.
One is for you.
She says she's leaving for London, not to try to follow her.
Nut she didn't go to London, did she? You got to her somehow.
You convinced her to leave me.
"Dear Daddy.
You and Michael were forcing me to choose between you.
Well, I can't.
I love you both too much.
" [SlGHS.]
She may have gone there.
She's got relatives in London.
Why don't you get on the phone? Call them, ask where she is.
- Get her back here.
- I'll handle this my own way.
Kathy, get Alexis Colby on the phone, please.
And if she's not in her office, find her.
I want to know the minute you hear anything.
I said I'd handle this.
Now, get out of here, Culhane.
Did you hear what I said? Get out.
You'll be hearing from me.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
Hello, Sammy Jo.
I'm afraid your maid let me in because I lied and said I was a friend of yours.
Oh, well, that's a very big lie.
What are you doing here? I hear that you spent the other night at Steven's apartment.
Where I spend my nights is none of your business.
Oh, but Steven and Danny are.
Now, I don't wanna see them hurt, Sammy Jo.
And you have a way of, uh, as you would say, screwing up people's lives.
So you better stay away from theirs.
You have nothing to worry about, Alexis.
Well, Steven obviously believes that, but I don't.
That, uh, work of art you're examining, are you thinking of buying it? I have an option to buy, but I haven't made up my mind.
Really? You know, I saw something like that recently.
Where? In a flea market in Singapore.
[PHONE RlNGS.]
Hello? Yeah, just a minute.
Alexis, telephone.
- It's Nlake's office.
- Thank you, dear.
Hello? If Amanda's in London, my cousin Rosalind will know where.
- Let's give her a call.
- I did.
Just as soon as Culhane walked out of the office.
Nut you know your cousin.
She promised Amanda she wouldn't say anything.
She's keeping her word.
Then we have to hire a private detective.
Hire a private detective to find our daughter? If we did that, we'd lose her forever.
Nlake, you know how impetuous she is.
She's liable to take off anytime, anywhere.
Alexis, listen to me.
We must leave her alone for now until she's ready to come back here.
Until she herself is ready to come back home.
[LAUGHS.]
So it is you.
A phone booth in Australia, and you were looking for Nen Carrington.
I found out that he was living in Denver and that you and I are cousins.
Leslie, remember? - Ha, ha.
Hi, cousin.
- Hello, cousin.
Welcome to Denver.
Nut why do you wanna see me? Nen lives with my father.
I can give you the address.
No, that's all right.
I already have it.
I'm really not in that much of a hurry.
I haven't seen him since I was a kid and I'm feeling a little bit shaky about what to say after I say hello to him.
Anyway, can you tell me a little bit about him? Oh, Leslie, I'm not the right person to ask.
Your father and l don't get along very well.
So then all those nasty stories I hear about him are true, about how he walks out on business deals and leaves people stranded? In business, there are always mistakes and jealousies.
[LAUGHS.]
Nut I can't imagine even Nen not being overjoyed to see you.
I didn't ask for compliments, Adam.
What I need most is reassurance.
And a friend? Don't suppose you know anybody here in Denver.
Well, I hear that Dex Dexter is in town.
I used to work for him once when he had a run-in with a guy named Michael Culhane.
Well, Culhane's in town too.
- You're kidding.
- No.
Leslie, would you like me to tell Nen you're here? No.
No, please.
I wanna get my act together first.
You know what they say about fathers and daughters: They have a special bond.
I wanna be ready when I meet him face-to-face.
DEX: Well, thank you for lunch.
Get me those facts by the end of the week, we can talk.
Nye.
Excuse me.
- Leslie? - Dex.
I don't believe it.
So tell me, how is my former boss? And is that smile for real? Well, I guess I'm glad to see you.
I was afraid you'd be holding that thing with Michael Culhane against me.
No, no, no.
He took advantage of you.
It cost you the oil leases you were bidding on.
Leslie, that was over four years ago.
No guilt trips.
- How have you been? - Okay, fine.
- Your mom? - Um.
- She died a month ago.
- Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
So, uh, what brings you to this part of the country? Well, that's a long story.
Nut let's just say that I am staying here at the Carlton, waiting to come face-to-face with someone.
And as for you, Dex? What about me? Well, you're smiling, but you don't look happy.
- Is it business or your love life? - Still the same sharp kid.
I'm not a kid anymore and that isn't an answer.
Let's talk about everything over dinner one night, okay? I'll give you a ring here.
Well, I'll be waiting hungrily.
For dinner, that is, heh.
Leslie, Denver's a big town, but you're liable to run into Culhane.
- He's here.
- So I hear.
- What's he doing? - Oh, his usual.
- Making waves.
- Sounds like Michael.
[LESLlE CHUCKLES.]
Oh, I was looking for Nlake.
He's in a board meeting.
Oh, well, I just wanted to drop these off, Krystle.
They're the pills I got him in Singapore for those terrible headaches he was having.
- Would you see that he gets them? - We don't need your pills.
We? They're for Nlake.
Yes, well, Nlake went to his own doctor, so we don't need them.
Just like we don't need or want portraits or anything else from you.
Anything that reminds you of Singapore, is that it? Look, Krystle, Nlake was sick there and I was just helping him.
What you did in Singapore, Alexis, was totally selfish.
You weren't concerned about anyone but yourself.
[SlGHS.]
We're both adult women.
We are bright, we are tough in our own way and we're honest.
So why don't you be honest and admit that what you're really concerned about is what happened between Nlake and me in Singapore, hmm? Oh, I don't blame you for being jealous.
Loving Nlake the way that you do, you should be.
Goodbye.
I do have some questions.
What would have happened if I hadn't shown up at the villa? Would you have stayed on for five more days? For five more weeks? And would you have done anything to help Nlake remember the years he lost? Would you have, Alexis? You're asking me everything except what you really wanna know.
Did Blake and I make love? And was it better with me than with you? [DOOR CLOSES.]
- Mind if I come in? - No.
In fact I wish you would.
I lust left Danny at the stables.
He's feeding sugar cubes to Valez.
- That's one happy kid.
- Oh, then I'll go see him.
Wait a minute, wait.
I thought-- I thought maybe the three of us would have some dinner here and Danny could stay over.
And you and I could go out for a night on the town.
- Any particular reason? - Absolutely none, just an impulse.
- I mean, if you don't wanna go-- - No, I'd love to.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
Yes.
Oh, put her on, please.
Krystle, never fails.
Anytime I'm away from my desk for more than a couple of days, the work is stacked to the ceiling.
I'd like to catch up a little bit tonight.
You don't mind, do you? - No, I'll wait supper for you.
- Good.
- Now, you're sure you don't mind? - Of course not.
We'll eat in the kitchen.
I'll cook and you clear.
You got yourself a deal.
I'll see you later.
Nye.
Hello, Michael.
Leslie? [CHUCKLES.]
You wanna take this drink and pour it over my head? Oh, Michael, forget about what happened in Canada.
I don't hold any grudges.
They only eat away at you and give you ulcers and wrinkles.
I'm much too young for that.
Well, then how about having a drink with me? Why not? Nut not here.
Why don't we go up to my room? Could be a lot more friendly.
I do like your thinking.
Take life as it comes.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
I know you had some trouble once because of me, but doesn't everyone have trouble sometime in his life? Well, maybe not Tibetan monks, but then again, who knows? [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
- Michael, - Hmm? whatever it is I did was because you're so good-looking and I had so much fun.
Well, in that case, would you like to try again? - You know what I used to love? - What? - Those showers that we took together.
- Oh, yes, those showers.
- Rub-a-dub-dub.
- Oh, you remember.
How could I forget? LESLlE: Mm.
Let's take one now.
Together.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Why don't you go into the bathroom? Finish getting undressed, turn the hot water on, and I'll be in in a minute.
Mm.
You're on.
Make it half a minute.
[CHUCKLES.]
[SHOWER RUNNlNG.]
MlCHAEL: Leslie? Kitten, where are you? Hey, babe, don't you remember rub--? Get me the concierge.
Yes, I am in Room 9 and I need to speak to someone in the men's shop.
Closed? Well, there's $500 for you to get it open.
What do I need? You name it, I need it.
[DlSCO MUSlC PLAYlNG.]
CLAY: You guys having fun? - As a matter of fact, we are.
Looks like it.
The only problem is, pal, this lady happens to be my wife.
- Look, Clay, it's just-- CLAY: I didn't finish.
She asked for an annulment.
You know about that? Yeah, I know about that.
Then you probably know, too, you're responsible for it.
Let's get out of here, Steven.
You used your son to get back into her life.
And the ironic thing is you're not even a man.
[STEVEN GRUNTS.]
I can take care of myself, Clay.
I don't need you watching out for me.
Oh, you need me, Sammy Jo.
You need me as much as I need and love you.
I told you once that I was never gonna let you go, and I'm not.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me, Mr.
Carrington.
You have a visitor.
Who is it, Gerard? - The name is Leslie.
- Leslie? - Oh, my God, are you--? - Your daughter? That's right.
A little taller, a little wiser, but it's still me.
God, I don't believe it.
It can't be real.
But who else could it be? Those eyes, I could never forget them.
- Just like my mother's? - Ha, yes.
How did you get here? How did you--? Well, what is it? - My baby, what's wrong? - Your baby? Well, yes, you were.
You are.
You just said it, you're my daughter who's come back to me.
Leslie, what is the matter? God, I've practised this in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep thinking of you.
In front of mirrors, walking year after year after year, thinking of you.
As I thought of you.
Thinking of you and what you did to us.
- Abandoning me and my mother! - What? You walked out on us and I'll never forgive you for that.
I walked out? That's not true, Leslie.
It was your mother who left me.
You never tried to get in touch with us, with me.
I wrote to you hundreds of times, letter after letter.
Don't lie, on top of everything else that you've done.
On top of the fact that you don't care about us, don't lie.
I am not lying, I am not.
You must believe me, please.
Oh, God, I remember that day.
I'd been out in the field for two weeks.
I walked through that door and there was nothing but silence.
You were both gone.
I loved you, Leslie.
And I loved her.
Oh, your love is a strange thing, isn't it? For you, love is betrayal.
- For you, love is not caring.
- Haven't you heard what I said? Ask your mother.
Ask her for the truth.
She's dead.
- What? - She died a month ago.
Melissa, dead? Yes.
You know something? When I came here, I prayed that I would find out something that would make me think I was wrong.
Nut everything I've learned about you today is true.
BEN: Leslie.
Leslie.
Leslie, please.
Please, stay.
You're my daughter.
I love you.
I always have.
Let go of me.
I wanna get away from you.
Let go.
Nen.
What was that? Is something wrong? No.
No, nothing, nothing.
- Are you sure? - Yes, I'm sure.
Was that your daughter? Yes, it was.
I don't wanna talk about it, Blake.
I can't talk about it now.
Gerard, where's Mrs.
Carrington? - She's in the living room, sir.
- Thank you.
Hello, darling.
Hi.
Well, I'm sorry.
Alexis shouldn't have sent that here.
She must have wanted you to have it.
I think it's a little too flattering, but a pretty good piece of work, don't you think? Yes.
I have to admit it's quite good.
You don't want it here, do you? That would be petty of me, wouldn't it? No.
No, I don't think so.
Well, I do.
The picture's of you, and if the painter is a part of your past, well, then that's what I bargained for.
The picture will be fine.
I'll find a place to hang it.
Darling.
There's something else that's on your mind and it's nothing to do with the portrait.
No, no.
There's something way, way back in your mind.
There's a little voice asking questions.
And you're afraid of the answers.
Blake, I'm not a child.
I don't have to be handled.
Krystle, if I were a woman and my husband had just spent five days alone with his former wife, there'd be a lot of things that I'd wanna know.
I'd wanna know if there was a renewed spark of interest.
Whether he came away with any feeling about her.
And maybe, just maybe, I'd wanna know whether they had slept together.
Well, there was no spark.
And I didn't sleep with her, because of-- Necause you were always in my heart.
Thank you.
