Dynasty s08e08 Episode Script

The Testing

You shouldn't be here, Josh.
You want me to leave? Last time on Dynasty: Aren't having second thoughts, are you? Well, I think we might be rushing it.
- The doctor was running late.
- That's what we figured.
- Would you like some wine? - Thanks, but, uh, no alcohol.
Not for the duration.
- You are pregnant.
- Sure am.
We're gonna have a baby.
How does that feel? Well, I'd be a cad if I said "rotten.
" I'd punch you in the nose if you said "rotten.
" First you move in on Alexis, and now, Jeff Colby.
Grabbing with both hands? What an interesting notion.
Do you believe in fate? Yes.
Alexis.
Yes, I do.
I do.
This is a deed for 70,000 of the most beautiful acres of timberland in the state of Colorado.
He sweet-talked Whitcomb into caving in to him.
He wanted to cheat me, and now he thinks he's gonna run for governor? Blake's not governor yet.
And he never will be.
Never.
No.
It's already done.
I married the woman.
Don't call me here again.
Is that clear? Who was that on the phone? - Wrong number.
Can't sleep? Keep thinking about the campaign.
The next four months are gonna be very different.
Different from anything I've ever known.
Well, since when isn't my husband up to a challenge? Now that I'm a candidate, I'm gonna have to divest myself of all my Denver-Carrington holdings.
I don't mind telling you that the thought of giving up my company hurts a lot.
Of course it does.
That's perfectly normal.
Darling, Denver-Carrington is your baby.
You created it.
Yes.
I guess you're right.
I remember, well, being out in the fields.
I was barely 17 years old.
Grimy, work blisters on my hands.
And in my head, dreams.
Dreams about oil being down there, somewhere under that ground.
Then, all of a sudden, it happened.
It was there.
Gushing up out of the ground.
A hundred feet in the air.
I just stood there right in the centre of it.
It was beautiful.
Now Now I have to give it up.
Turn it over to my children.
Are they ready for it? Denver-Carrington is a big company.
Do they have enough experience? Well, you won't know until you give them a chance.
Yes.
But which one is it going to be? Now, Fallon She's had problems.
She's not talking about it.
But I know that there's something wrong.
And Adam I don't know.
Dana's been good for him.
They're going to have a baby, but still, he works for Alexis.
Blake, has he talked to you yet? I mean, about the baby? Yes.
He told us about it last night, didn't he? Did he say anything else? No.
Why? Oh, just wondering.
Then there's Steven.
Tsk, now, Steven knows the company best.
He would have been my first choice.
But I'm not sure that he has really recovered from that shock he was in after he killed Matthew Blaisdel.
I'm afraid there are gonna be a few more restless nights before I make up my mind about who it's going to be.
Champagne for breakfast.
Even though we didn't get away, it's been such a wonderful honeymoon.
It has been wonderful.
And it's been at least ten hours since you've mentioned your ex-husband.
Who? Oh, yes.
Ha, Blake.
All the way to Mexico you were worried about how the primary was going.
"Would he, God help us, beat Ralph Dunbar?" Well, he did, and it's over, so now, all I want to concentrate on is us.
I've seen that smile, Alexis, heh.
You've got something up your sleeve.
- Well - It's about Blake.
- Yes.
I did have an idea.
- Which is? Since Dunbar lost by such a small percentage, I thought it would be rather fascinating to have my newspaper persuade him to run as an independent against Blake in the general election.
- Thus causing Carrington to lose? - Yes.
What do you think? Hmm, it's not bad.
But for now, I think you should forget your ex-husband - and concentrate on your present one.
- Yes.
I am concentrating.
I'm all eyes.
I'm interested in more than your eyes right now, Alexis.
I'm interested in all of you.
Oh, not again.
Hello, Miss Lindquist.
Mr.
Colby.
L I'd like to say that I'm sorry for the way I acted - at the group meeting.
- No problem.
Not everyone can understand what we've been through, or what we feel about our encounters.
- In fact, that's why I'm here.
- What do you mean? To talk to your wife about the book we're doing.
- Book? - Oh, yes.
Yes.
The public has to be educated about extraterrestrial experiences and the men and women who've had them.
I would like your wife to be one of our contributors.
She's ideal.
Bright and very articulate.
With an ideal name, right? Meaning exactly what? Well, it wouldn't hurt, would it, to have Fallon Carrington Colby involved? Well, yes.
Uh Of course, that would be a plus.
But I don't think that that is any of your concern, Mr.
Colby.
Oh, I think it is.
You're looking for a way to take advantage, and I won't have it.
Are you saying then that I'm wasting my time? Yes.
I am.
- Jeff, what are you doing here? - Your husband just ordered me out.
We were gonna talk about the book.
Oh, he's already talked for you, Mrs.
Colby.
Heh, I was obviously wrong to think that you could be part of our project.
How could you interfere in this? The woman is a con-artist.
She's looking for a way to sell books by using your name.
I won't let that happen.
- I'm not gonna let her exploit you.
- Wait a minute.
Who are you to speak for me? Who are you to do my thinking for me? Fallon, someone has to keep you from hurting yourself and Blake.
Think about it.
What would happen if the opposition read that Blake's daughter tells about her ride in space? - You really think I'd embarrass him? - Yes, I do.
Jeff, do I embarrass you so much still? - I'm not the issue here.
- Yes.
Yes, you are.
You're embarrassed about what happened to me in the desert.
Right? Am I right? This one's from Chadwick Hill.
"We want you for governor, not James Rayford.
Don't skip our town when you cross the state.
" Better make sure that Chadwick Hill is on our itinerary.
- Heh.
- Oh, Jeff.
How are we doing with Ambassador Campbell? Oh, God, I, heh, I'm sorry, I forgot about that.
You know that his endorsement can be very valuable to us.
- I know.
I'll get it for you.
You'd better hurry.
He's leaving for Europe tomorrow night.
All right.
I'll go to New York tonight.
I'm sorry.
My mind I just haven't been myself recently.
- It's Fallon, isn't it? - We couldn't help but notice.
You wanna talk about it? Not really.
Uh, maybe you should.
Jeff, she may be your wife but she's my daughter too.
Now, what's going on between you two? - I think you should talk to her.
- I have.
She won't open up to me.
Well, you're gonna find out sooner or later.
It might as well be now.
The night before we got here, it might have been a delusion or something she imagined Something that she imagined? What do you mean? She was in the desert.
We couldn't locate her.
Oh, we searched all night and I finally found her.
She told me she was in a spaceship.
She was abducted by aliens.
- Aliens? - And she really believes it.
So if you're thinking about having her see a psychiatrist, forget it.
She's already seen Dr.
Parrish in Los Angeles.
I don't know.
I don't know which way to turn.
My God, Blake.
What the two of them have been going through It's hard to believe.
I'll tell you one thing about my daughter, she just didn't invent this story.
She must believe that it happened to her.
- Who is it? Dex.
Come in.
There was no secretary out there.
What is it, Dex? I happened to be in the neighbourhood.
And? I wanted to see if you were doing anything for lunch.
Sorry, but I have plans.
Maybe you could cancel the date? With Prince Edward of England? He's just passing through Denver and dying to buy me a cheeseburger.
Those Buckingham Palace boys, they do have good taste in women.
Save the compliments, Dex.
They're not appreciated.
At least not by me.
Now, what do you want? Look, Leslie, the other day in Alexis' office, and later at Blake's campaign headquarters, I came on kind of strong.
I'd like to say I'm sorry.
You said that I wanted Alexis' power, and that I would end up with nothing and all alone.
You called me a first-class conniver.
You accused me of moving in on Jeff Colby and said that I would stop at nothing to get ahead.
- And now you're sorry.
- Look, if you can't take an apology Let me see how you take a question.
This particular question: What do you plan on doing about Sean Rowan? Care to elaborate on that? I'd be delighted to.
He just married Alexis yesterday.
Ha, ha, what? There's another player on the scene now, Dex.
And if you still feel about Alexis the way I think you do, he's just gotten smack in your way.
So don't tell me about my problems, okay? You just take care of your own.
You said in the hospital that you'd never seen me look so radiant.
And you said that you thought there had to be a man involved.
You were right.
I want you to meet my new husband.
Sean Rowan, this is my ex-husband, Dex Dexter.
Pleasure.
Alexis referred to you once as her Wyoming cowboy.
- Oh.
- Ha, ha.
Is that all she said? Well, there was more, but it was censored, heh.
Heh, I'll bet it was.
Well, you saved Alexis' life.
We all owe you a debt of gratitude for that.
Thank you.
Well, right now I've got a couple of things to do.
Goodbye, darling.
I'll see you later.
So are you happy for me? Yes.
I am.
Maybe because you finally look happy again.
Ha, yes, I am.
And now it's your turn.
There's gotta be a woman who realises what a great catch you are.
In fact, there's probably dozens.
Oh, Alexis, I'm not used to your flattery.
No, I mean it, Dex.
I only want the best for you.
Alexis.
Do you think you might have rushed into this a little too quickly? Hmm.
Maybe I did.
I'm sure that's what the rest of the family's gonna say.
In fact, everyone is gonna say it.
But it was It was something that I had to do.
It was fate.
Uh, well, then, be happy.
I intend to be ecstatic, heh.
Well, thank you for all your good thoughts, Dex.
I really appreciate it.
I'll see you around.
Bye, Dex.
Hey.
Daddy.
You're home for lunch.
I like that.
I had an idea I wanted to try out on you.
Tell me.
What would you think about taking over one of Denver-Carrington's subsidiaries? - Which one? - The cosmetics unit.
Bradley and his staff are having a difficult time getting it started.
Well, my background is running a resort hotel.
- You think I can get it off the ground? - Why, of course.
You've got good business sense, you've got good taste.
You've got a flair for showmanship.
That's all it needs.
Why are you suddenly offering me a job? You haven't been talking to Jeff, have you? Has he said anything? Well, he merely said that you had a few problems.
- What problems? - Well, that you weren't feeling well.
- I'm not sick.
- No, no.
No, not sick.
What he said was that you've had some kind of a delusion.
Delusion? Did he go into detail? No, don't bother answering.
Obviously he did.
That's what this whole cosmetic thing is about.
Offering me therapy, not a job.
Fallon, I don't think you're being fair to Jeff.
Oh, I'm sure he coloured it to make me sound completely crazy.
Well, if you think I am, why don't you call Dr.
Parrish? Or talk to the very respectable people who have shared my experience.
Darling, Jeff only told me what you told him, and that's all.
Now you wanna cure me by having me test different shades of lipstick? Well, thanks, Daddy.
I appreciate the try.
But when I want a job, I'll get one.
And despite what my husband thinks, I am quite capable of handling my own life.
Hi.
It's a little later than I thought, I guess.
Heh, it's 1:00.
Why are you still here? I overslept.
I've already been riding, I've taken care of things at the stables.
Don't you have something to do? Like report to practise? There is no scrimmage today.
Heh, well, I have a son that I have to pick up at school.
I'll tell you what.
I'll pick up Danny for you if you want.
No.
No.
Uh Josh, what happened last night was wrong.
Steven was away and I was Ionely.
And I'm telling you now, it's never gonna happen again.
Sammy Jo, I don't know what goes on in this house, but you have a great kid.
And then there's Steven Carrington.
The man who sleeps down the hall.
Alone.
I think it's time for you to leave.
No.
Not until I tell you I think I'm falling in love with you.
I mean, really in love.
What happened last night was not a casual thing for me.
Steven's flying back tonight.
I have to be here.
I wanna be here.
Please, just finish getting dressed and leave.
I mean it.
I want you out of here by the time I get back with Danny.
So are you actually telling me that you and Dana are going to have a child by a surrogate mother? - Yes.
- Well, I'm very happy for you.
Then you aren't upset? No.
I mean, whoever carries the baby, it is your flesh and blood.
There's just one thing that I can't understand, Adam.
Wouldn't it have been more honest to have told you that she couldn't have children before you got married? Well, she didn't know.
Don't you realise what she's done for me? She's agreed to let me have my child with another woman.
- It's a tremendous sacrifice.
- Yes, and I applaud her for it.
We have your support? Darling, you've always had my support and you always will.
Thank you, Mother.
And congratulations on your marriage.
- He's a very lucky man.
Ha, ha.
- Mm-hm, yes, I know, he is, heh.
And thank you for the flowers, darling.
They're absolutely beautiful.
Bye.
Come on, what do you say? Come on.
We'll have some fun.
Get away for a couple of days, mix some business with pleasure.
You buy out Bergdorf's, catch up with a couple of old friends.
I don't think so.
What happened to the old Fallon I used to know, huh? That impulsive girl who used to fly to New Orleans for fresh oysters, - or go to Kansas City for a steak.
- Those were fun trips.
You're talking strictly guilt trip, aren't you? What? You told my father you think there's something wrong with me.
That you're worried about my emotional state ever since my spaceship delusion.
I am worried.
You know that.
I'm worried about what's happening between us.
Your father would've found out sooner or later.
I was gonna tell him about it.
I don't need you to speak for me.
I don't need anybody getting between my father and me.
You and your father? That's what this is all about? - We're not fighting about spaceships.
- Oh, what are we fighting about? You're sore because I got between you and Blake.
Look, I love your father very much.
But he's got a soft spot.
You.
Because you've always been and always will be Daddy's little spoiled girl.
If that's true, maybe it's because no one, including Especially you.
- Has ever given me the chance to grow.
That's bull.
Oh, is it? Always telling me what to do, what not to do.
Interfering in my life.
Dismissing me.
Well, as far as I'm concerned, you can go to New York, or you can go to hell.
Just leave me alone.
And you'd better get this straight.
I am nobody's little girl.
Not anymore.
Oh, Adam, come in, come in.
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
I wanted a chance to talk to you a little about the future.
Not only about the baby that you and Dana are expecting, but also, too, about what's going to happen with my company.
Father, about the baby There's something I should've told you.
Oh, what's that? Well, right after we were married, we found out that Dana can't have children.
Well, we considered every option.
And we decided to use a surrogate.
Her name is Karen Atkinson, and she's carrying my child.
- A surrogate? - Yes.
The child will be a Carrington, Father.
Dana and I are proud of that.
But why didn't you tell me this before? Why did you wait so long? Don't you trust me? Well I guess the answer to that is, do you trust me? - Lee? - Yes, Mr.
Colby? What's the problem? What are we waiting for? There's been a delay in takeoff.
And I've been told there is another passenger.
- Another passenger? - Hi there.
Heard you were flying to New York.
You don't mind if I hitch a ride with, do you? Turns out I have business for Alexis, heh.
I'll check with the tower for clearance, sir.
- Fine.
- If you wanna go Dutch, I can put half the gas on my expense account.
Oh, I think Blake can afford the gas.
This won't disrupt your plans with Fallon? - I'm travelling alone.
- Ah! It's lucky that I'm here to keep you company.
- Where are you staying? - The Pierre.
Is that near Central Park? Yes.
It's right on Central Park.
Is this your first time in New York? They say the first time is the best.
Is there a phone? Hello, this is Leslie Carrington.
Could you make a reservation for me at The Pierre, please? Thank you.
- You always that impulsive? - Heh.
Actually, I'll let you in on a little secret.
Interested? I'm all ears.
Well, I'm really a very shy person.
Just that I've been taking these courses.
In how to hitchhike? No, not exactly.
In assertiveness.
- Think I'm getting my money's worth? - Yes, I do.
Good.
- Champagne? - Why not? Okay.
- There you go.
- Thank you.
Don't thank me.
It's your wine.
What do you think we should toast? How about to first-time experiences? Fasten your seat belt.
Something's up with Father.
Well, you told him about the baby and he didn't object.
Something's up with the family.
He didn't say as much.
He hasn't said anything, but he's been testing me.
If he wins this election, he's gonna have to divest the company.
So he's been testing to see who's gonna take charge.
If any of us.
He's also got to be thinking about hiring somebody from the outside.
- Oh, Adam, I doubt that.
- Oh, it's possible.
I remember a case in law school.
A man divested to his four kids.
They ran that company into the ground and he ended up suing them.
- It was ugly on both sides.
- Well, if I know Blake, I'm sure he'll give all three of you his vote of confidence.
It's all family.
- I mean, you're all equal.
- Oh, we're family.
But some of us are obviously a little more equal than others.
Steven is practically running Denver-Carrington as we speak.
He's using father's office, isn't he? Well, I'm in charge of the confidential files.
I won't let Steven in.
How about that? It's not funny, Dana.
Steven's not the same.
There's an edge to him now.
He's a little preoccupied with his football team.
I'm not talking about football.
He killed Matthew Blaisdel.
A man who kills another man is someone to watch out for.
Someone dangerous.
Even if he is your brother.
Finally, I found you, heh.
What are you doing in here all by yourself? Oh, just sitting here thinking.
Again.
Have you talked to any of the children? Steven has been pretty busy with the football team.
But I'll try to track him down tonight.
However, I did talk to Adam and Fallon.
And? I still asked myself the same question.
Are they too young? Too inexperienced? I could get somebody from the outside who has managed a major corporation, and I could hire some professional people with track records.
But you don't need them.
Denver-Carrington is a solid corporation.
Yes, that's true, darling.
But there are decisions to be made.
Personnel to handle.
Problems that pop up constantly.
Anything could happen.
And legally, I wouldn't be able to say a word about it.
Am I, uh, making any sense, or am I overreacting? Darling, you're not overreacting.
I know how important this decision is to you.
But I know you.
You'll come up with the right answer.
Excuse me, sir.
Can I help you? I'm just looking for a little information, heh.
Isn't that all right, heh? Well, this entire area is off- limits, except for employees of The Mirror.
Oh.
I've always found names interesting.
Yours is Miss Shane.
- Must be a first name.
- Heh.
- Uh, Penelope.
- Good strong name.
Greek.
- The ever-faithful wife of Ulysses.
- Heh.
I'm sure your husband is a very lucky man, heh.
Oh, heh, I'm not married.
I assumed that a woman as attractive as you are Thank you.
Um, ahem.
But, um, unless you have, uh, an okay from the executive office, I can't Uh, let me introduce myself.
- My name is Sean Rowan.
- Sean Rowan, heh.
The same Sean Rowan that's married to Mrs.
Colby? Married to Mrs.
Rowan now, yes.
Heh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yes.
I'm sorry.
Of course.
Ahem, how can I help you? I'm preparing a gift for my wife that involves her children.
So I'd like to learn as much about them as I can.
Steven Carrington, Fallon Carrington Colby and her husband Jeff.
Oh, and let's not forget Adam Carrington.
Oh, no, no, heh.
Um, ahem, well, it'll take me a few minutes to pull the microfilm, uh, for you.
It'll just take a few minutes.
Um, bye.
- God knows I love Daddy.
- But? Can you imagine him inventing a job to divert me from my delusions? I am so sick and tired of being patronised.
There must be something real I can do out there.
You can always put on a hard hat.
- All right, fine.
I'll take it.
- Ha, ha, what? Are you saying I can work with you on the pipeline? At least I'd feel as if I were accomplishing something.
I'm serious, Dex.
Everybody thinks I'm crazy except for you and Whoa, whoa.
That doesn't mean you should be working with the boys.
Fallon, moving pipe isn't what's really going on here.
What is really going on here? It's Jeff.
Right? - He's part of it.
- He's a big part of it.
You're angry with him.
You're looking for someplace to run to.
You're grasping at straws when you should be holding onto something substantial.
- Like my marriage? - Yes.
Like your marriage.
Correct.
That is, if you really want it to work.
Look, he's in New York.
Call him.
See how he's doing.
It's not that hard to pick up a phone.
Just a moment.
- Yeah.
- We got in so late last night that all I got to see of New York by moonlight - was the back of our driver's head.
- Heh.
Why don't you do the town tonight? - See a hit show, the ballet? - I'd rather have dinner with you.
I know.
I know.
You're a married man and I'm being very pushy.
But I just hate to eat alone.
I'm due at Campbell's office, I don't think he'd appreciate me being late, especially when I'm asking him to endorse a candidate.
But you're right, I hate eating alone too.
Meet me downstairs in the lobby at 9:00.
That's his office.
Could you answer and tell them I'm on my way? - Mm-hm.
- Thanks.
- Hello? - Is this Jeff Colby's room? Yes, it is.
- Is he there? - Hold on a minute.
I'll check for you.
Jeff, it sounds like long distance.
Do you wanna take it? I'm sorry, he can't come to the phone right now.
Are there any messages? Sean Rowan, Executive Vice President, Internal Affairs, ha, ha.
That is going to be on your office door first thing tomorrow.
- You like it? - I do.
- But do I deserve it? - Of course you do.
Don't be so modest.
It doesn't become you.
The best wedding present I can think of.
- Hmm.
- Mm-hm.
I can think of a better one.
- It'll have to wait until I get back.
- Back from where? Thought we were celebrating with dinner.
We will, but it'll have to be later.
I'm meeting a friend.
- Well, bring your friend to dinner.
- I can't.
He'll be between flights.
Uh, Denver's just a stopover.
I've gotta go, darling.
Pick you up at the hotel, say, 10-ish.
Hmm.
Well, for a guy who just got Uncle Blake an endorsement from Ambassador Campbell, you don't look that happy.
Oh, I'm happy.
It's just that, uh, I'm a little tired, I think.
You're Ionely for Fallon, aren't you? Why don't you call her? If I were your wife, I'd be waiting by the phone for that call.
You're not Fallon.
Did you get a chance to take your run in Central Park today? Yes, I did.
Around the reservoir.
And there were lots of other people.
You won't believe what I had for breakfast.
What did you have for breakfast? A large salted pretzel with mustard all over it from one of those street vendors.
I think one was enough.
Sunday's game is more than important.
It's crucial.
That's obvious, Steven.
Playoffs are just around the corner.
Every game from here on out is crucial.
- Can I go now? - No.
Not yet.
I'm not finished.
What do you want from me? We've been winning.
Every week.
Just squeaking by.
What, are you blaming me? I been playing football since I was 10 years old.
All I know is a win is a win.
By 20 points, or 10 points, or 1 damned point.
Are you finished yet? You get that out of your system? Let's get down to some facts.
What facts? Number one, your mistakes last week cost us six penalties and two touchdowns.
Number two, you crossed up two key plays because you missed a practise session.
And number three, you've lost some of your edge.
There are times when you're not concentrating, you're indecisive.
And number four, there are times when you've got a few pounds coming at you.
It's not that easy.
Man, I am delivering you a first-place team.
I'm not gonna accept anything less.
I want you to play your best football at all times.
And I want leadership, not arrogance.
Mr.
Carrington.
I couldn't help but hear some of that, Steven.
Aren't you pushing him a little too hard? No, Dad, I'm not.
He's a quarterback.
If he can't handle the pressure, he's the wrong man for the job.
- You test people, don't you? - Yes.
Yes, I do.
Come in.
I heard you're skipping dinner.
Can I get you something? I have a terrible headache.
It hasn't been a very good day.
Yeah.
Not so good for me, either.
I, uh I had it out with Josh Harris today.
- About what? - Heh, what do you think? Look, Steven, if this is your way of reminding me about what happened between Josh and me.
- I told you I haven't seen him again.
- I didn't say you had.
But you're implying that something's going on between us.
I'm not implying anything at all.
I, heh I've been thinking about my father because he was asking me all these questions, I don't know what it was about.
Don't give me that.
It is Josh.
You'll never understand.
I need some fresh air.
Excuse me, maitre d'.
Would you mind holding our entree for a few minutes? I think you're right.
I'm going to call Fallon.
Oh, absolutely.
- In a while.
- Oh, no.
Do it now.
We can get a phone at the table.
Excuse me.
- Hello? - Hi.
It's me.
How's everything? - The kids? - They're fine.
Got the endorsement for Blake.
So all in all, you're having a terrific trip, right? The trip is fine.
Listen.
When I get home, I think we should talk.
Um We've had our share of differences, I'm willing to put certain things aside.
I'll bet you are.
Yeah.
Was she on her way out? She had something to do.
- Can we get out of here? - Heh, Jeff, what about our dinner? Uh Could we have two doggie bags? - Doggie bags? - Mm-hm.
Hi.
Uh, Sammy Jo.
Hi.
Uh, come on in.
I was driving around and I just dropped by to say hello.
Come on, Sammy Jo, there's more to it than that.
You're here because you care about me.
You do, don't you? No.
No.
I'm confused.
I don't know what I'm doing here.
- But you're here.
- I can't stay.
I'm in a really weird mood.
I can't stay.
- You're late, man.
Where you been? - Looks to me like it was perfect timing.
Who was the pretty young lady? She's nobody you know.
Oh, little on edge, Josh? Knock it off, Skip.
Let's have it.
Heh, oh, if the fans could see you now.
Denver's finest.
Shoo.
No.
Don't worry about me.
The fans are with me.
No matter what Carrington says, I'm the one turning this team around.
Oh, good.
Well, then, maybe you don't need this.
- All right.
- There you go.
Thanks.
- Whoa, whoa! - Oh, heh.
That's all right, though.
There you go.
There's another one.
Cheers, heh.
Can you believe that maitre d's face when I asked for the rolls and butter? - Will you ever forget that? Heh.
- I don't think so.
You know, Jeff.
I'm sorry, really.
It was my idea for you to call Fallon and you don't have to cover.
She gave you a tough time, didn't she? I'll handle that when I get home.
I know you will.
Well, I think I'd better go back to my room before we're the talk of 8 million New Yorkers.
Don't go.
What? I don't want you to go.
What about Fallon? I, uh I had a wonderful time tonight, and I'd like to keep feeling wonderful.
This is the room where he shot himself, Victoria.
- Right here on this spot.
- Sean.
Joseph Anders, servant to the Carringtons.
They bought him off and then they betrayed him.
Our father gave his life waiting upon them and not one single damned Carrington mourned him.
Sean, he's dead.
Why are you doing this to us? You flew here last night and said you wanted to see me.
All right.
Here I am.
I had to see you after what you've said on the phone.
How could you marry that Colby woman? Well, why not? She drove our father to kill himself.
She's the mother of Adam Carrington who raped our sister.
Why not? You're talking about things that happened years ago.
Oh, ho, believe me, I would have been here then, but the Dublin police locked me up for a while.
Anyway, I'm here now.
It's getting late.
I'd better take you back to the airport.
Sean, wait.
Listen me, please.
Let Father's soul rest in peace.
When I saw Kirby in Paris, she told me that she's resigned herself to what happened.
Father left her this house.
Then why hasn't she sold it? It's because she wants it as a shrine to his memory.
She hasn't forgiven and neither have I.
Why look for revenge by hurting other people when you're only going to hurt yourself? Look, I have no intention of hurting a single one of them.
They're going to destroy each other, father, mother and children.
And I'm only here to help them do it.
It's getting late.
This can't be very easy for him.
What can't be easy? Choosing who runs the show.
It's too early for him to discuss turning over the company.
Is it? Steven, he didn't ask us to wait in here so he could bring us the weather report.
My God, if he's turning over his empire, we're talking about a company that's worth Go ahead, Adam.
You've probably added it up to the last dollar.
Penny, you mean.
Count on one thing.
If it happens, I'm showing up with my own personal computer.
I don't trust you.
Why don't you include me in this? I don't trust you.
Doesn't that make a neat little triangle? - Fallon.
- Hello, Daddy.
- Steven.
- Dad.
- Adam.
- Father.
I have come to a decision about what I want to do with Denver-Carrington.
Please, sit down.
It hasn't been an easy decision, but it's made.
I've given it very careful thought and consideration.
My choice to head the company is Steven.
