Dynasty s07e26 Episode Script

- Feeling better now? - Yes, Mommy.
- Anything? - I tried to talk to her.
Nothing.
- She's suffering extreme withdrawal.
NLAKE: Hmm.
Mommy, why is Sarah on the floor? Well, she's not feeling very well right now, darling.
Nut we're gonna make sure that she gets well soon.
Nut first thing we're gonna do is get you over to Dr.
Chadway and have him take a look at you.
Is that all right? Oh, yes, of course.
We'll take care of Mrs.
Curtis.
- I have to see Mr.
Carrington.
- I'm sorry, Mrs.
Colby, but-- - Blake.
- He isn't here, Alexis.
- Where is he? - Probably with the police.
Kristina is still missing.
Oh, I suppose you're concerned about that.
Yes.
Of course, I am.
Are you also concerned about what's happening to my son? Yes.
I love Adam very much.
Oh, you worshipped him from afar but you never dared to talk to him.
And then when you found out that he was a Carrington, you made your move.
That is sick, Alexis.
No, Dana.
What is sick is what you are doing to my son.
I have just had to go and bail him out of jail.
- What? - Yes.
The police found him lying drunk in an alley.
You know what happened when I went to see him? He refused to see me.
He told me to leave.
Look, Alexis, I am sorry for whatever has happened to Adam.
- Nut for you to blame me-- - Yes, yes, I do blame you.
And I hold you responsible for what's happening with Adam.
For my own son to run away from me, do you know what that means? My God, I have tried to tell everyone that something is wrong with Adam.
Except nobody would listen to me.
And that includes you, Alexis.
That's right.
You have been trying to tell us.
All right.
Let's find out what it is.
Now I'm listening.
I need $500 in cash.
- I'm going to need a cheque.
- I don't have my cheque book with me.
- In that case I'm afraid I can't-- - Afraid of what? What do I need a check for, anyway? I live here, damn it.
Charge it to my account.
Of course.
I'll get the money.
Mr.
Carrington, this message was left for you.
"Please call.
Alexis.
" If you'll just sign here, Mr.
Carrington.
Thank you.
- Hello, Carrington.
- Wales.
- Can I buy you a drink? - I buy my own.
I'd like to talk to you about your mother and her involvement with Trouville lndustries.
- What's going on? - I'm sorry.
I'm just on my way out.
Keep trying to reach Blake Carrington.
It's important.
My secretary told me that you were here waiting for me.
- What do you want? - Do you really dare ask me that? [SNlCKERS.]
And do you really dare barge into my office uninvited? Oh, let's get our priorities straight, Alexis.
Office invasions versus internal frauds.
[SCOFFS.]
And what exactly do you mean by that? In case nobody's bothered to mention it to you, Trouville's stock has plunged.
It means we've both lost a great deal of money and I'm not in the habit of losing.
Neither am l.
We'll just have to have the matter investigated.
You'll be sure to whitewash the findings.
Isn't that the way you're going to protect him? - lsn't it? - Protect whom? The stock dropped because of a leak.
It didn't come from my staff.
I can vouch for them.
I wonder if you can do the same.
I certainly can.
Including your son? You know, the one who drinks a lot.
And maybe talks a lot? Adam may have his problems, his personal problems, - but he wouldn't do that.
- Not to his mother.
Certainly not to his mother.
He is my flesh and blood.
And if you accuse him, you accuse me.
Okay, Kristina, that's enough.
- I'd like you to get some rest, hmm? - All right.
- Have a good nap, darling.
- Yes.
We'll see you in a little while.
I'll stay with her and read her a story.
What would you like for me to read to you? - "Goldilocks.
" - "Goldilocks.
" That's what it'll be.
[CHUCKLES.]
Doctor, are you sure that she's all right? Her lungs are clearing up nicely.
I want you to watch her, of course.
Nut she's fine.
Excuse me.
Sergeant Nenson just arrived.
He says he as a report about Mrs.
Curtis.
Oh, thank you, Gerard.
Thank you.
She's in a secured psychiatric section at Cheney Hospital.
What? Sergeant, Sarah Curtis is a very sick woman.
You know that.
You've seen her.
She's shut herself off from the world.
- Now, she needs special care.
- I don't write the laws.
- That woman took your child.
- All right then.
Then I am not gonna press charges against Mrs.
Curtis.
And my lawyers will be down to get her released.
And for her own best interests, I'm gonna have her transferred to a private sanatorium.
Is that clear? Very clear.
Uh, Mr.
Carrington, if I'm ever in any sort of trouble, l I wouldn't mind having you in my corner.
Mrs.
Carrington.
I'm glad I have you in my corner.
Thank you for that.
Well, what Sarah did was frightening, and she might have been responsible for something terrible happening to Kristina.
Nut how do you desert her after what she's done for us? - Hello, Mrs.
Colby.
- Hello, Mr.
Wales.
Oh, don't tell me that your ubiquitous tape recorder has, uh, disappeared.
Well, it's still being repaired from the time you flung it across the office.
Nut I have a very good memory, so I think I'll just depend on that.
- As you ask me about? - Dirk Maurier.
Ah, Dirk Maurier.
Yes, the name does ring a bell.
What about him? You first met him at a Hollywood party, correct? Hmm.
And then he flew to Denver and gave a party at, uh, which you were the guest of honour.
Hmm, really? Yes.
I didn't realise that.
Well, let's amend that then to target of honour.
- Meaning? - He obviously wanted to get you interested in going in on a deal with him.
You bit and blew a bundle in the process.
That's right.
And that concludes my business dealings with Mr.
Maurier.
- And with you, Mr.
Wales.
- Not yet, Mrs.
Colby.
I'd like to talk to you about your son, Adam.
- He has nothing to do with this.
- Heh, I didn't say he did.
Nut I saw him this morning and he looked a little, uh, worse for wear.
How my son looks is no concern of your readers of World Finance Magazine.
Your son's a Carrington.
Anything the Carringtons do is of interest to my magazine and its readers.
Look, Mr.
Wales, I'm a very busy woman.
I have a lot of things on my mind and I'd like you to leave.
I'm just trying to get information that might be of help to you, Mrs.
Colby.
And, um, I'm gonna be interviewed on television tonight.
[SCOFFS.]
I thought I might say some nice things about you.
Heh.
Do that.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask, have you put up any money for the nephew's new venture? - What nephew? - Gavin Maurier.
I have no idea who Gavin Maurier is.
I thought perhaps you might have gotten into bed with him.
Financially speaking.
Until next time, Mrs.
Colby.
Goodbye, Mr.
Wales.
WALES [ON TELEVlSlON.]
: Would I say that the abortive takeover attempt of Trouville Industries hit the market today like a shock wave? Well, indeed I would.
And with predictable results.
The usually successful corporate raider, Dirk Maurier, and the usually formidable Alexis Colby came out multi-million-dollar losers.
But the big question is, was there an inside leak? And if so, from which camp? Mauriers or Mrs.
Colby's? Whichever, somebody is probably harbouring a traitor.
Nlake, I think that this drinking of Adam's is just a symptom of what's really wrong with him.
We've got to help him.
Dana thinks it could be something between Dr.
Edwards and Adam.
Dr.
Edwards? Does she have any idea what it might be? No.
Nut maybe you and l should fly to Nillings tomorrow and find out what it is.
Perhaps that's one way to get at the truth.
Don't bother.
I am the truth.
This lie is the truth.
Darling, you're trembling.
Are you ill? I'll go call a doctor.
Don't call anyone.
Nobody's going to help me.
- Now, Adam, listen-- - I'm not Adam.
- I'm not Adam Carrington.
- You don't need that, son.
I'm not your son.
My name is Michael Torrance.
- Adam, you're drunk.
- I may be drunk but ask Dr.
Edwards-- Well, what's Dr.
Edwards got to do with it? He'll tell you how my grandmother died.
A sick woman with sick delusions.
Ask Neal McVane.
ALEXlS: McVane? - That pig who made me betray you.
- Betray me? How? - He had proof.
- He showed me pictures.
- What pictures? A baby boy wrapped in a blanket with the name Adam sewn into it.
A baby boy with a scratch on his forehead.
- Yes.
That's you.
- No.
The baby who died, he was your real son.
Oh, my God.
There was a price to pay for keeping the secret.
I had to tell McVane what was happening.
With you and Maurier.
Trouville lndustries.
I had to betray you.
You reinstated me in your will and I betrayed you too.
Nut that's all over with now.
You're free of me.
I'm leaving.
NLAKE: And where are you going? - Away.
I have to get out of your lives.
I don't belong in them.
- Adam.
- That is not my name.
And you aren't my parents.
My parents were killed in a car crash a long time ago.
And I'd like to die too.
- Now, wait.
- For what? Now, you're in no condition to go anywhere.
Now, please.
Sit down and we'll talk about this.
There's nothing more to talk about.
Don't you understand? This has been tearing at my gut.
I'm nothing.
I'm nobody.
Oh.
Oh, Nlake.
It's as if we've lost the same son twice.
[SlGHS.]
Immaculate air, windswept moments.
Ah, pity those trapped behind four faceless walls.
Just a little ode to the great outdoors.
You're an engineer, Clay, not a poet.
And we're supposed to be working.
Ah, yes, Leslie Carrington.
My favourite drudge.
Look, I'm not used to making love alfresco at 10:30 in the morning on a surveying trip.
And I don't intend to start now.
Nut we've got all day to survey.
Look.
Cut it out.
Even as a joke I just don't like it! What is it with you, Leslie, since yesterday? I'm moody, okay? And right now my mood is vastly negative, okay? No, it's not okay.
There's something else.
You're right.
It's called work.
It's what we're supposed to be doing here.
We're not supposed to be talking about about you or me or negatives or positives or your father or my fa-- I didn't mention either one.
Ah, it's nothing.
No, you don't indulge in nothings, Leslie.
I asked you a question.
I want the answer right now.
Don't get tough with me.
I don't have to answer to anyone I don't want to.
It's about my father, isn't it? Um He phoned me last night.
And, uh He said he thought it was a swell idea if I left Denver.
- And you.
- What? And I told him to please leave me alone, and then he offered me money.
My God.
Does he hate me that much? [KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
- Hi, Steven.
- Dana, hi.
Come on in.
Thank you.
Have you heard from Adam? Nobody's heard a word since he walked out of the house last night.
He's disappeared.
I can't stop thinking that somehow this is my fault.
No.
Dana, don't blame yourself.
You couldn't possibly have known about McVane and all the rest.
Adam loves you.
He'll be back.
You aren't really sure of that.
I'm as confused as you are.
And Dad and Mother.
She phoned just a little while ago.
She's devastated.
It all happened so fast.
She said she couldn't sleep last night.
Neither could l.
I spent the night phoning the people we knew.
And then I drove down to that awful neighbourhood where Adam got into that fight.
And I walked from one bar to the next, hoping and praying I would find him.
And this morning I phoned the police to see if maybe they'd picked him up again.
Or worse.
- Don't even think that.
- I do.
How can I help it? Adam has behaved so strangely.
He has said such terrible things.
He had a breakdown once.
And I'm so afraid he's heading for another one.
I love him so much and I am so afraid for him.
And I don't know what to do to bring him back.
I know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna find him.
I promise.
If the drug I'm about to give her works, it will pull her out of the withdrawal.
It could make her more communicative.
At least it'll give us a place from which to start.
How can I help? Try speaking to her, Mrs.
Carrington.
She may recognise you.
Sarah? Sarah, can you hear me? Sarah? Yes? - Do you know who I am? - No.
Well, I know who you are.
You're Sarah Curtis.
Cathy's mother.
- Who are you? - Krystle.
Krystle Carrington.
Your friend.
I don't know any Carringtons.
Where's my baby? I Please, what have you done to my baby? Please.
What? What? What? What? [GASPlNG.]
She still thinks her daughter's alive.
And she'll remain in this condition until she faces the truth.
Nut she will, eventually.
Maybe, maybe not.
You've been a regular chatterbox for the last hour.
- If that's a dig of some sort-- - No, no, no.
It's your father, isn't it? Yeah.
I've been thinking about the call he made to you.
About our families and how they've been warring for years.
Well, they're the Hatfields and the McCoys.
The Montagues and the Capulets.
So, what else is new? - It's not funny.
- Ha, ha.
I know it isn't, Clay.
Nut what can we do about it? We can put a stop to it.
I want you to come back to my apartment with me, Leslie.
I want you to move in with me.
You're not just asking me to get back at your father? That is a rotten question.
The answer is no.
- So, you love me? - Yes.
I have ever since our first fight.
[CHUCKLES.]
Tell me something.
Do you expect to share my toothpaste? Sure.
Nut you can use my shaving cream.
It's menthol.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Deal? Deal.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
Yes? Oh, put him through, please.
- Is it Adam? - No, Steven.
Dad, I'm in Nillings.
I talked to Dr.
Edwards and he has no idea where Adam is.
Ah.
Have you checked with all his old friends? I've got a list of names.
- I'm gonna get in touch with them.
- Good.
Good idea.
- Is Mother there with you? - Yes.
Yes, she is.
Would you tell her that I'm not going to give up until I find him? All right.
I'll tell her that, son.
Right.
Nye.
No trace of Adam.
Nut Steven says to tell you that he's not gonna give up until he finds him.
Oh, that's wonderful, Nlake.
When the chips are down, they seem to forget all their petty rivalries and jealousies.
I'm proud of Steven.
Proud of one and worried about the other.
Oh, Nlake.
We've got to find him.
We'll find him.
No matter where he's gone, we'll find him.
[CHURCH BELL RlNGlNG.]
Why? Why did you lie to me? Why couldn't you just let me live my life as Michael Torrance? I should hate you.
But I can't.
Necause whatever you did, you were good to me all those years.
Nut, oh, Kate, why did you lie? [CRYlNG.]
You have no right to be here, Steven.
I wanted to talk to you.
Why? Maybe because you need somebody right now.
- And, I'm your brother.
- I don't need anyone.
And you're not my brother.
Your name is Carrington.
And mine isn't.
Now, please go.
Steven, I want you to leave.
Adam, whatever you think your name is, there are a lot of people back home who care about you.
- I don't want their pity.
- Nobody pities you.
If you really love Dana, you'll come back with me.
You can turn away from everybody else, but you don't walk out on somebody who loves you as much as she does.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
- Yes? DANNY: Grandpa? - Danny? Is that you? - Yes.
- How did you get my number? - I pushed the button Daddy pushes.
[LAUGHS.]
Well, this is a nice surprise.
Now, what can I do for you, son? Can you please lend me some money? Money? Well, may I ask what for? I wanna run away.
Oh, I see.
Well, yeah, I know it's not easy running away from home without money in your pockets, Danny, but would you stay right there until I can bring you that money? Okay.
Now, wait for me.
Well, how much money you gonna be needing? A few dollars and maybe some quarters.
Well, I think you're gonna need a lot more than that.
This is a big world and a lot of it is very expensive.
Now, you're planning on going to another town, aren't you? Yes.
Well, you're gonna need carfare, too.
- I forgot about that.
- Yeah.
Now, I know that you're gonna miss a lot of things around here.
I'm gonna miss feeding Valez.
Nut he'll understand.
Yeah.
Danny, this is something very serious, isn't it? It is.
You've made up your mind that you really wanna go? Yep.
Well, what am I gonna say to Kristina? - Kristina? - Yeah.
You said that when she was safe and back home that you wanted to come over to the house and play with her.
Well, if you're gonna run away, you're not gonna be able to do that.
She's gonna be disappointed, isn't she? Maybe I can stay and play with her and then run away.
Now that's a good idea.
I'll tell you what.
Why don't you come back home with me and spend the night with us.
And then tomorrow morning you can play with Kristina before you run away.
- I'll go get my pyjamas.
- Okay.
Did you hear some of that? Yes.
What's happening? I think he's still upset over Kristina being kidnapped.
Yeah, but Kristina's back home.
Danny knows that.
There must be more to it than that.
Yes, there is.
Sammy Jo, I can't help if I'm in the dark.
Come on now.
What is it? What's wrong? NlCK: Well, were you thoroughly impressed? Oh, ha, ha, three oil wells? Of course.
I was very impressed.
With you and the way you're handling your success.
My head is still the same size, is that what you mean? That, and I like the way you treat your crew.
They are a great bunch of guys.
- You hungry? - I'm starved.
Let's see what we've got here.
Well-- Ha.
Two beers and a soda.
So much for lunch.
How about dinner tonight? I guess I really have no choice.
Where shall we fly this time? Uh, Kansas City? New Orleans? How about the moon? Nick, uh, I'm a two-time loser.
And three times is out.
Yes, I know the cliche.
Well, here's another one for you.
- Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
- Oh, please, Nick.
Listen to me.
I love you.
And I know you care about me too, even though sometimes you're afraid to admit it.
But let's be honest with ourselves.
Let's grab hold of happiness while we can.
We have a real chance here, Dominique.
We can make it.
I know we can make it.
NLAKE: Adam didn't come back with you? No.
- What does he plan to do? - He wouldn't say.
- Just that he wanted to be left alone.
- Did he leave a number? - No.
I tried, Dad.
- Yes.
I know you did.
- Dad, can I ask you something? - Yeah, sure.
Why did you bring Danny to the house? Well, let's say it was a delaying action, Steven.
What does that mean? You're gonna have to find some way to make that little boy understand that it's not his fault that you and Sammy Jo separated.
His world is falling apart and he needs help.
And he needs it quickly.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
Who is it? Oh, my God.
Oh, God, I've been so worried about you.
Steven told me-- That I wouldn't come back with him.
I needed time to think.
Well, I took an hour, and then I caught the next flight back.
And all the way, I kept trying to figure out how I was gonna ask you to forgive me.
You just have.
And I do.
Dana.
Will you come away with me? Anywhere.
I can't live here anymore.
Not as Michael Torrance.
Whatever you want, Adam, whatever.
I just know that I have to have you near me.
I want us to forget this nightmare that I've put you through.
I want us to start living our lives together.
And I want you to marry me.
Will you? Yes.
Yes.
Oh, yes.
I need you.
Oh, I need you forever.
GERARD: Good evening, Miss Deveraux.
Someone's waiting to see you in the conservatory.
Really, Gerard? Who is it? Well, she said she wanted it to be a surprise.
She? Jackie.
Oh, Mother.
Oh, why didn't you let me know you were coming? I wanted to surprise you.
Look at you.
You look just beautiful.
Neautiful.
Come.
Tell me.
- How was New York? - Well, it was terrific.
- Yes? - Yes.
Father took me to two plays, two ballets, and a nightclub.
You really like Garrett, don't you, Jackie? I love him, Mother.
That makes me very happy.
And, Mother, he still loves you.
Jackie, please.
Did Garrett tell you that? Oh, I know by the look in his eyes and the questions that he asks.
He'd like us all to be together again.
Oh, Jackie.
[SlGHS.]
Is that what you want, too? More than anything else in the world.
I wanna know why you had to involve my father in this.
- This is between you and me.
- I know that.
Nut I didn't involve him.
Our son did.
That's how desperate Danny is.
- And you just let him leave the house? - He's miserable here.
I thought a night away might be good for him.
It's painful to see him so unhappy.
This used to be a happy house at one time.
And I feel helpless.
Necause I don't know what you're doing with your life.
- That's my concern.
- And Danny is our concern.
Our son has gotten to the point where he calls his grandfather for getaway money.
I've lost you, Steven.
And now I feel like I'm losing Danny, too.
I know how you feel right now.
Can't you understand what I'm going through? - I try to.
- Nut you can't.
Or you won't.
I do try.
And sometimes I wonder why we can't reach some sort of compromise.
Can't we put the pain that Danny's going through before ourselves? What do you suggest we do? We live a sham? That we pretend that we're a family and then it falls apart when he gets older and realises that nothing in his life was real? Our love for him is real.
Then it's gonna have to get it from us separately.
Except he's finding it so hard.
Nut you, you don't really care, do you? You're into some self-pity right now.
Sammy Jo, listen to me-- No, I'm tired of listening to your empty words.
Necause that's what they are to me.
Empty.
So if you just came here to do nothing, don't bother coming back again.
Get out, Steven.
Just get out.
Well, I guess we're about ready.
Are you having second thoughts about this? No.
It's just that you'll be giving up friends who mean a lot to you.
We'll make new ones.
Well I was thinking more about family.
I know they're not really my family, but I'm gonna miss them.
Blake and Alexis are the only parents I've ever known.
- Darling, if you'd rather not go-- - No.
We have to.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
And there's the taxi.
- May we come in? ADAM: Yes, of course.
- Hello, Dana.
- Alexis.
Steven said we might find you here, Adam.
- Hello, Dana.
- Hi, Blake.
Well, that's quite a lot of luggage for a weekend trip.
We're leaving Denver, right after we get married.
Married? When? Today at city hall.
And then you're just gonna go away? ADAM: That's right.
- Leaving your family? We've been through all that.
I'm not family.
You're not going anywhere, Adam.
You're not going anywhere.
You're going to stay here in Denver and get married in the Carrington Mansion, your home, as planned.
And as our son.
But I'm not your son.
Don't argue with Nlake.
You never won before and you're not going to win this one.
ADAM: Nut I've already explained.
We don't care what Dr.
Edwards told you.
We don't care if your name is Adam or Michael.
We'll find out in good time, but even if we don't find out, so what? The important thing is that in our hearts you are still our son.
We love you.
We love you very, very much.
And that in itself makes you one of us.
What the devil brings you to Denver? You seem a bit out of sorts, Uncle Dirk.
Is that bath you took in Trouville lndustries as bad as I heard it was? You win some, you lose some.
Well, you did gain a beautiful partner.
Alexis Colby.
Is she teed off at you these days, uncle? It's mutual.
So, what are you doing here? You're worried the Trouville fiasco is going to affect the cash I've been pouring into your toy factory? The plane I'm working on is gonna make aviation history.
I like my toy.
Knowing you, of course, you intend to test-fly it yourself.
What else? Testing's the only fun part of making the damn things.
You're right, though.
I am anxious to know whether or not you're gonna cut me off on the development.
It's already been done.
I phoned my people less than an hour ago.
I can't keep lending you money until my own position's firmed up.
- Sorry, Gavin.
- No, you're not.
You didn't like my father and you don't take to me.
That's the way it goes with the fabulous Mauriers.
Nut somehow we always seem to come out on top, each in his own way.
So don't worry about me.
I'll get the money I need.
Somehow.
- Mr.
Dexter? - Yeah? Gavin Maurier.
I wanna thank you for seeing me.
I know you're busy.
Well, I am, but that's no problem.
Heard about your company and the jet you're building.
How do you feel about it? Your plane? I've got no opinion one way or another.
I know you get a lot of good press.
That's all I know about it.
What is it you wanna talk to me about, Mr.
Maurier? I need capital.
I wanna offer your company a very attractive participation in mine.
That simple.
Yeah, well, that kind of investment, um, I'm really not interested in.
And Lex-Dex is no longer in business.
It's terminated.
Does that mean you and Mrs.
Colby aren't partners anymore? Heh, that's what it means.
Well, that's a bit of news that hadn't caught up with me.
It just did.
I understand you and Mrs.
Colby were married.
Right.
Were.
I hear she's quite a woman.
Tell me something, Mr.
Maurier.
Did you come here to do business or to find out about Alexis Colby? Either way, I'm busy.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
- What is it? What are you doing here? - You're finished.
- What the hell are you talking about? - It's all over, McVane.
My family knows everything.
- How did they find out? - I told them.
And Carrington or Torrance, they've accepted me for whoever I am.
And as for the rest of the world and what it thinks, I don't give a damn.
No.
You're pulling some kind of a bluff.
You wouldn't jeopardise your whole future.
It's your future that's in jeopardy, McVane.
I've been to the police and sworn a complaint.
I'm charging you with blackmail.
And that, Mr.
Congressman, is in direct violation of your parole.
- Wait a minute.
- You're going back to jail, McVane.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Forgive me, Mrs.
Colby.
I didn't see you come in.
Oh, well, I'm just browsing, looking for a wedding present for someone.
Of course.
You'll let me know if I can be of assistance.
Oh, yes.
Thank you.
GAVlN: Neautiful, isn't it? - Yes.
Neautiful.
It's almost-- Alive? What are you thinking? [CHUCKLES.]
That this same thing happened to me a long time ago.
What did you do? Oh, l I took a deep breath and-- And when you let it out, you were in love.
Who are you? Your future.
