Dynasty s08e09 Episode Script
The Setup
- Why are you still here? - I overslept.
I'm falling in love with you.
Please, just finish getting dressed and leave.
Last time on Dynasty: Oh, if the fans could see you now.
Denver's finest.
Don't worry about me.
The fans are with me.
Well, then, maybe you don't need this.
Why don't you do the town, go see a hit show? Because I'd rather have dinner with you.
That's his office.
Could you answer that and tell them I'm on my way? - Mm-hm.
- Thanks.
Hello? - Is this Jeff Colby's room? - Yes, it is.
- Is he there? He can't come to the phone right now.
Are there any messages? What about Fallon? Sean Rowan, executive vice-president, Internal Affairs.
Heh.
Do I deserve it? The best wedding present I can think of.
- I can think of a better one.
- Oh.
It'll have to wait till I get back.
- Back from where? - I'm meeting a friend at the airport.
Joseph Anders, servant to the Carringtons.
They bought him off and then betrayed him.
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? Why look for revenge by hurting other people when you're only going to hurt yourself? They're going to destroy each other.
Father, mother and children.
And I'm only here to help them do it.
- I don't trust you.
- I don't trust you.
Doesn't that make a neat little triangle? My choice to head the company is Steven.
And so this morning, I met with the board of directors and I proposed, and they accepted, the creation of an executive committee.
An equal partnership with each one of you having one equal vote.
Now, in the case of disagreement And knowing my kids, there may be several from time to time.
In the event of disagreement, two votes will settle the matter.
Now, as to who sits in this chair and who runs the company on a day-to-day basis, as I told you last night, it will be Steven.
I assume that your acceptance still holds.
Yes, of course.
Steven has been my right arm here all along.
That made him a logical choice.
I hope you understand that.
Yes, Father.
Again, congratulations.
- I'm proud of you.
- Thanks, Fallon.
This has not been an easy time for any of us these past few days.
I'm very grateful to you all for the way you've handled it.
There's more that I would like to say, but, uh, this doesn't seem to be the right moment.
Steven, walk me down to the car, will you? I wanna talk over that Townsend contract.
It's the last item on my agenda.
I'd like to get it wrapped up.
I know Father meant well, but he's always been a bit myopic where Steven's concerned.
I have no problem with his sitting in Daddy's chair.
Besides, we're all equal partners.
Except that Steven's gonna be calling the shots.
Of course that doesn't bother you.
You've always been close.
It shouldn't bother you, either.
He's your brother.
Who's been fighting me ever since I came to Denver.
Then it's time to stop it.
We're all one family.
If we can't put that first, we're doomed.
Are you just preaching that, Fallon, or do you plan to put it into practise? With you and me? Okay, I deserved that.
You and I haven't been close, but that's history.
So let's make this work.
For Daddy and for everything he's worked for.
Adam Carrington.
Mr.
Carrington, Dave Alden, coach of your brother's team.
I've gotta talk to him, please.
It's urgent.
He's not here.
Is there a message? Yeah, tell him that his ex-quarterback, Skip Maitland, was picked up for dealing cocaine.
Steven and I have to get together before the press gets ahold of the story.
Don't worry.
I'll get the word to him right away.
Security, Steven Carrington's on his way down to the parking area.
Find him.
Dajly Express.
I'd like to speak to the sports editor.
So tell me about the baby.
Everything's wonderful.
I speak with Karen every day.
- Karen is the She's the mother? - Mm-hm.
Do you like her? Oh, yes.
Um Well, she's terrific.
Heh.
Adam and I are very lucky to have her.
I know.
Oh, Dana, this has all happened so fast.
Yes.
Well, Adam was very anxious to start a family, you know.
I know.
So when the doctor told you that you couldn't have children, you just decided to do something about it.
Yes.
After I found out that a surrogate was possible.
I love Adam very much and I'd do anything for him.
I know you would.
So don't you think it would have been kinder to have told him about this before the wedding? What? Well, that you couldn't have a baby.
Well, I didn't know.
Dana, surely you must have had some idea.
No.
Of course, I didn't.
I mean, years had gone by and nothing had Nothing had what? Dana.
We're not just two women sitting here having lunch, you know.
I'm Adam's mother, and I love him very, very much, and I know he loves you too.
And you, you've loved him since high school.
You followed him here, and Well, I want to be your friend.
I really do.
So please, please tell me what happened.
Please, Alexis, you must understand, this isn't easy for me to talk about.
I do.
I do understand very much, but trust me.
All right, Dana? Just trust me.
So years had gone by I was very young.
Um, just 15.
It wasn't easy in those days.
My best friend took me to see somebody.
But there were complications, and It was a botched abortion.
Hmm.
So you've always known that you couldn't have children.
No.
Of course, I didn't.
I'd Well, the doctor always Well, he told me that maybe I couldn't, but I always hoped I could.
Why didn't you talk to Adam about it? I couldn't.
It was so far in the past and You see, I love Adam so much.
I didn't wanna hurt him.
And I still don't want that to happen.
Please, please tell me you won't say anything to him.
No, no.
I won't, I promise you.
I won't, Dana.
But, God, how do you expect this marriage to work when there are three of you? You, Adam and this dreadful secret.
- Who? Ahem.
Who is it? Steven Carrington.
Hey.
Been trying to get ahold of you all morning.
Yeah, well, uh, I've just been going over some stuff for this week's game.
Do I get brownie points? It's my day off.
We have a problem.
Don't worry, I'm gonna tear that defence apart.
We have a problem off the field.
Skip Maitland just got busted for dealing cocaine.
Yeah, well, that figures.
He always was a loser.
So why are you telling me? Because he may have been supplying it to other guys on the team.
Did Maitland tell you that? Well, he's a jerk.
The police told me that.
Is it true? How do I know? I'm a quarterback, not a vice cop.
Drop the one-liners.
If there's a drug problem on the team, I wanna know.
So, what, you come to me? Look, I just throw them the football.
What they do on their own time is their business.
Wait, wait a minute.
You accusing me of something? I'm not accusing you of anything.
I'll find out sooner or later.
Sooner or later, these things come out.
Fine.
Meanwhile, you can't come in here Josh, wait a minute.
I did not come here to argue with you.
I'm just trying to make you understand that Maitland's arrest reflects on the entire team, including you and me.
Well, you listen to me.
I don't know anything about Maitland or drug pushing.
You pay me to play football and you've been busting my chops to win and win big.
I don't have time to think about anything else.
Okay, Josh.
Just understand this.
If there's a drug problem on the team, I'll find out.
Uh, ahem.
Hi, Sammy Jo? It's Josh, um Look, uh, I need to see you right away.
And what's the first thing he does? He comes and unloads on me.
I didn't get arrested, Maitland did.
Man, once a whipping boy, always a whipping boy.
It seems like he just wanted some help.
He respects your opinion.
Bull.
The only thing your ex-husband respects is winning.
The minute I stop putting points on that board, it's, "Adios, Josh.
" Why are you putting so much pressure on yourself? Ask him.
All I hear about all the time is: "Why aren't you winning bigger? You're letting the team down.
" - He says that? - Yeah.
And there's this voice that goes on in the back of my head, says: "You're gonna blow it, Harris.
You can't come through when it counts.
" You are being too hard on yourself.
You deserve more than that.
Do I deserve you? Josh.
Sammy Jo, that's why I came here.
I wanna show I can come through when it counts.
For us, for you and me.
Please, Josh, you know that Steven and I have An agreement.
I know.
So that counts me out.
Heh, good old Steven.
On my back, on and off the field.
Well, you stick to your agreement, Sammy Jo.
You see what good it does you when you reach out on a cold night.
I gotta get out of here.
I need a drink.
Oh, I hope I'm not disturbing the candidate.
Alexis, I am just leaving for home.
Dinner party? For two.
Just Krystle and me.
Well, I'll get straight to the point.
Our sweet little daughter-in-law, Dana, can't have children.
I know that.
Do you know the reason why? A botched abortion a long time ago when she was 15.
She's kept this guilty secret to herself and has not shared it with Adam.
I don't know where you get your information from, or whether it's true.
It's true.
She told me.
In any case, I don't care.
They're happy and that's the most important thing.
So please, leave them alone.
Blake, are you blind? Why do you think that Dana rushed into this surrogate mother thing? Because she loves Adam.
He wanted a child and she couldn't give him one.
She wants to have an heir.
This little nobody follows our son from Billings to Denver to try and trap him into marriage.
Once she has him, then she wants to have an heir to secure her future.
I don't wanna hear any more, you mind? Will you please listen to me? Adam is the real father of this child.
Now, we've gotta make quite sure that Dana never has any legal claim on the baby.
I am not going to let you interfere.
We're talking about something terribly important for the future of our family.
You're talking about it.
My position is clear.
I'm warning you.
Stay out of this.
And I'm warning you.
Your blind loyalty to this girl is going to cost us all.
Governor.
You can't even run your own family, let alone Colorado.
- You're very tense this morning.
- Mm.
Yes.
We can thank Blake Carrington for that.
Ugh.
I tell him the girl has a backstreet abortion and he defends her.
Darling, you're not still letting this thing with Dana ride you? No, the thing is that when I have concerns, Sean, I can't just turn them off like a tap.
God, I wish I could go to Adam with this.
Well, you decided that wouldn't be smart.
Why don't you just forget it? How can I forget it? You mean like Blake forgot it? I mean, she is a gold digger.
I know she is.
I mean, she can smell a man with money.
Yes, mm-hm.
The rich do have a distinctive scent.
- Ow.
Oh, Sean, you're hurting me.
- Sorry about that.
I think you're worrying about nothing, Alexis.
Heh, you do, do you? Well, I'll tell you something.
I don't.
Do you realise that Blake has just turned over one-third of Denver-Carrington to Adam? One-third.
Well, that's very interesting.
Interesting? It's more than interesting.
I have to protect Adam.
Otherwise, that little girl that he married is going to become a very rich and powerful woman.
You're right.
She could have a lot of power.
Uh, look, I've got a meeting, darling.
- We'll talk more when I get back.
- All right.
Bye.
Anna Gregory.
Aren't these wonderful? Where did you find all these old toys? Jeanette brought them down from the attic.
We're giving them to the children's home.
Oh, my God.
It's my favourite doll.
Annie, I used to play for hours with you.
I remember one day, Jeff was teasing me, and he grabbed Annie and accidentally pulled one of her legs off.
He said he was sorry, but I told him I would hate him forever.
The next morning, there was a box outside my door.
Jeff had spent the entire night trying to fix her leg.
It wasn't perfect, but, uh I guess nothing ever is.
Fallon.
I know that you and Jeff are going through a difficult time right now.
Can I be honest with you? You can say anything to me.
You know that.
I don't even know if we have a relationship anymore.
I can't remember the last happy moment we had, the last time we made love.
And the most difficult part is, the longer we go on like this the less I wanna try.
If you want your marriage to work, you're gonna have to try.
How? Well, um Jeff comes home from New York tonight.
The two of you should spend some time together.
Alone.
You know, ever since we left New York, you've just been burying yourself in this paperwork.
That's I wanna finish it before we get back to Denver.
That's fine for today.
But what about yesterday, this little disappearing number? I was busy.
No one is that busy.
Leslie.
What happened the other night was Wonderful.
That's all right.
You can say it.
I would, but I can't.
Because it can't happen again.
What's changed? Leslie.
I'm very attracted to you, but I've got to try and make it work with Fallon.
Try and make it work with Fallon? You're kidding yourself, you know.
Maybe.
But that's what I've decided.
Well, then, I guess I'll just, um, wish you both good luck.
And as governor, My agenda will be simple and direct.
Jobs for all those who are capable of working, compassion and assistance for those who are deserving of that assistance, and a balanced growth that will help carry this great state into the future.
Thank you.
Thank you all for your support.
Are there any questions? Is there any truth to the rumour that you'd ultimately like to be president? And live outside this beautiful state of Colorado? Never.
Mr.
Carrington, what's your reaction to the drug problem on your son's football team? Well, I'd hardly call the arrest of one former player a drug problem on the team.
What's the morale on the team now? You'll have to ask my son that.
It's his team.
You know that I'm running for governor of Colorado and if there are any questions regarding the issues in this campaign, I'd be happy to answer them.
What's your position on mandatory drug testing? I think that drug abuse is a terrible blight on our society and any reasonable method that would help us get rid of that blight, I'm in favour of.
Will you urge your son to test his team? My son makes his own decisions.
I'm sure he'll take the appropriate action.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm running a little behind schedule.
So thank you again for everything, and together we can make it happen.
Thank you very much.
Well done, Father.
But a drug scandal? That's just what you need right now.
Thank you very much, Steven.
What do you mean, "Thank you very much, Steven"? This isn't your brother's fault.
You said it yourself.
It's his team.
The way he runs it reflects on your campaign.
Adam, I don't have to tell you that the press is always out looking for a story.
Now, what they're trying to do is to pit one Carrington against the other.
Now, don't you feed that fire.
Look, Leslie Look at my desk.
Paperwork's piling up on it since I went to New York.
You know, it was a long plane ride, I'm sure you're tired.
And the car is still downstairs.
Go home.
You know, if I stay here and help you, you'll get out of here a lot quicker.
Unless, of course, you're afraid to be alone with me.
Leslie, how many ways do I have to say it? Jeff, relax.
I just wanna make a few phone calls.
Suit yourself.
Fallon.
I should have guessed.
Uh, we just got in from New York.
Jeff's in the, uh Spare me the details.
I know what you're thinking.
You're wrong.
Please don't insult me, Leslie.
Did you really think I didn't recognise your voice on the phone from Jeff's hotel room? Fallon.
What are you doing here? Interrupting, obviously.
Oh, now, wait a minute.
If you two don't mind, I'm suddenly very tired.
Look, I, uh, know what you're thinking, but you're wrong.
Isn't it funny? You even sound alike.
I guess that comes from sharing all those intimate little moments.
Fallon, don't make a federal case out of nothing.
Leslie and I, we were in New York together on business.
We flew home together and And picked up right where you left off in your hotel room.
Um Fallon, uh, we should talk.
There's so many things that I have to tell you.
First, tell me there was nothing between you and Leslie in New York.
It's not It's not that simple.
Oh, yes, it is.
Fallon.
Hello? Send him in.
- Morning, Alexis.
- Morning, Dex.
I wanted to see Sean, but he's not in his office.
No, he's out at a meeting.
But, uh, I don't know when he'll be back.
You all right? Yes.
Yes, I'm fine.
If you want to see Sean, why don't you make an appointment with his secretary? Well, maybe it's best my seeing you first.
I talked to him last week about an easement on transit rights for the pipeline.
He said he'd get back to me.
He hasn't.
- So? - Come on, face it, Alexis.
Your husband and I are strangers.
We don't even speak the same language.
You and I do.
Why should I be interested in something that no longer concerns either me or my company? Because I have a contract with Blake to go ahead on the project.
I'm a guy who keeps his word.
Blake is a guy who keeps his.
- And you want me to help you, right? - Right.
You expect me to help you with Blake Carrington? That paragon of virtue, a man who always keeps his word and never ever does anything wrong.
Look, I didn't come here to listen to a campaign speech against the competition.
Let me tell you something about the competition, Dex.
I had some business with Blake recently, a little legal business, and he had a deposition that was all neatly signed and it was signed by a women called Cora Van Husen.
Do you know what Miss Van Husen does for a living? She runs a whorehouse in Colorado Springs.
I see.
That's, uh, very interesting.
About the easement? I don't want to hear about your easement and I'm not interested in anything to do with the pipeline and if you want to talk about it, call Sean.
It's his department.
Just say it, Alexis.
I wasted my time walking in here.
You just said it, Dex.
Oh, that paragon of virtue.
Saint among saints.
Richards? I want you to call my car and chauffeur and tell them we're driving to Colorado Springs right away.
Don't tell me.
You were just in the neighbourhood and decided to drop in.
You're a very successful businesswoman, Miss Van Husen, and so am I.
That's very flattering coming from you, Mrs.
Colby.
I also know that you're very direct.
So, what do I want? I'm here to talk about the deposition you gave Blake Carrington, for which he was very appreciative.
So you think Blake Carrington paid me off.
Is that what you're saying? Let's just say that he needed a favour and so do I.
I don't sell that kind of favour, Mrs.
Colby.
The deposition said Blake's brother, Ben, was not with you on the night his mother died in that fire, but with another women.
I gave him that deposition because he's a damn good man and I didn't want to see him crucified for his mother's death.
Now as one businesswoman to another, time is money.
- Mrs.
Colby.
- Yes? I heard what you said to Cora.
Really? I have something I think you'd be interested in.
Interested? What? I was here the day Mr.
Carrington made his visit.
Did you hear anything? Or did you see anything? Better than that, Mrs.
Colby.
Much, much better.
You can see it for yourself on film.
- Morning.
- Morning, Steven.
Dad, did you say this? Well, it's out of context, but, yes, I did say it.
Well, it sounds like you're endorsing mandatory testing for my team.
Oh, I didn't say that.
But that's not such a bad idea, you know.
I think it is.
I mean, this isn't a police state.
Well, I'm not endorsing a police state.
Steven, whether we like it or not, I'm in the public eye.
Yeah, but, Dad, I'm not and I'm trying to handle this my way.
If you publicly endorse mandatory testing, we're going to be at odds, because I believe it's wrong.
And you're entitled to that belief.
But so am I, in mine.
Look, son, I didn't sell you that football team, I didn't choose you to run Denver-Carrington so that I could call the shots behind the scenes.
I want you to do what you think is best.
You really mean that? Yes, I do.
Absolutely.
- You didn't come home last night.
- Jeanette had the number.
She knew where to reach me in case of an emergency.
Jeff? If it's about Leslie It's about us.
I don't think we can be together anymore.
You're willing to throw away everything? I am? What about you? Jeff, we've both tried, but it doesn't work anymore.
I'm afraid if this goes on, we'll end up hating each other.
I don't want that.
I just wanted to make you happy and I wanted to take care of you.
That's part of the problem.
I've spent my entire life being someone's little girl.
First, Daddy, and then you.
You both wanted to protect me and I let you.
You think that was wrong? No.
I just don't want to be that little girl anymore.
I can't.
Well, you can change.
I can help This is one thing you can't fix for me, Jeff.
A separation will hurt Blake's campaign.
You're probably right.
Would you feel more comfortable if I moved into a guest bedroom? Yes, I would.
I'll have Gerard get the rest of my things this afternoon.
We're going to have to tell the family.
I'll talk to Daddy.
Goodbye, Jeff.
Well, looks like it's moving day.
I'll be staying at The Carlton for a while.
Alexis has this project that she wants me to do Fine.
Good luck.
- Separate bedrooms? - For the time being.
Look, Jeff, believe it or not, I'm sorry that things aren't going the way you planned.
But I'm not going to apologise for caring about you.
That night we spent together was very special.
It was a mistake.
I don't think you mean that.
I'll be staying in Suite 317 at The Carlton.
I'm tired of your excuses, Harris.
You don't practise, you don't play.
It's that simple.
Well, now, that's brilliant.
You're going into the biggest game of the year without your quarterback.
I'm going with whoever gives me the best shot at winning.
- Right now that's not you.
- Look, I said I was sorry.
I'll practise twice as hard tomorrow.
What do you want from me? I want you to take a complete physical.
What do you mean, a complete physical? Just that.
I'm concerned about you, Harris.
You might have some neurological damage.
You took some heavy hits in the Chicago game.
Look, man, you pay me to play football, that's it.
No one's sticking pins in my head.
You're making this tough for me, Josh.
You're playing badly and I can't take a chance on your getting hurt.
I have no choice.
You sit on the bench on Sunday.
I'll tell you what.
I'll go you one better.
I'll sit at home and watch you lose.
I quit.
- Josh, what's going on? - Ask him.
Harris just quit the team.
Quit? Why? That's a good question, Sammy Jo.
My God.
- This wedding must have cost - A fortune.
Just look at Dana.
And the house.
Now, this is where she lives, the Carrington mansion.
Servants, limousines and private plane.
Gosh.
Dana Waring.
I had no idea.
Knowing how close you were, I was surprised you weren't invited to the wedding.
Well, our lives have changed a lot since high school.
I've seen pictures of the two of you.
You were very beautiful, Anna.
Homecoming queen, weren't you? Yes, I was.
In fact, Dana made my gown for me.
That seems like such a long time ago.
It's funny, she liked doing things like that.
I was the one that wanted to be rich and famous.
It's been difficult for you, hasn't it? I manage.
My kids never go hungry.
Don't you think you deserve a little better than that? There's nothing wrong with asking a friend for help.
Dana? I would never ask her for anything.
She's moved on to a whole new life.
And forgotten her best friend.
I think that's wrong.
We all need help from time to time.
Which answers your question when we first met today.
What am I doing here? Would $10,000 make your life a little better? What? Think about it.
- Heh.
I got your message.
What do you want? I wanna know why.
What did you hope to gain? What are you talking about? I just found out who leaked the drug story to the press.
That's a serious accusation.
Can you back it up? The coach told me it was you who answered the call.
And that's it? That's your evidence? I wouldn't walk into court with that, Steven.
Anybody could have leaked that story.
Your coach, the cop who busted Maitland.
How long did you think you could keep it under wraps? Long enough to get a press statement together.
But you didn't want that, did you? You resent me so much you would do anything to make me look bad.
You don't need me to make you look bad.
You're doing a wonderful job all by yourself.
Oh, just admit it, Adam.
The one thing that really bothers you is that I'm sitting in Blake's chair.
You're wrong.
Everything about you bothers me.
Stop it.
Both of you.
Stay out of this, Fallon.
It's okay.
No, it isn't.
This is between Steven and me.
Not anymore.
Can't you see what's happening? We've been running the business for three days and we're already at each other's throats.
It has to end now or we'll destroy everything.
Oh, Diane, this is heaven.
With the campaign, there's been so little time to relax.
I just don't ever want it to end.
Hello, Krystle.
Alexis.
I'm sorry.
I hate to interrupt your busy schedule, but I'm having an Olde English Faire at The Carlton on the 14th and I'd love for you and Blake to be my guests of honour.
Well, you're just full of surprises, aren't you? I try.
Well, then try to understand this.
The last thing either one of us wants to do is to be a guest of honour at one of your parties.
Well, it's not my party.
It's for charity.
And I want the proceeds to go to your drug rehabilitation centre.
Really? Why this sudden interest in the centre? Well, it's for Steven, really.
There's been so much adverse publicity about drugs on his football team.
Why don't we see if we can forget our differences for one night, Krystle? I know I did oppose Blake in the primary, but now that he's the party's choice, I want him to win.
Oh, by the way, I understand that there's a, um, campaign film of you and Blake touring the drug rehabilitation centre.
That's right.
I'd love to show it at the party.
There are gonna be influential people there.
It could do Blake a lot of good.
Uh, I'll discuss it with him.
We'll let you know.
Good.
Ciao, Krystle.
Alexis, next time knock.
Okay? Hmm.
I still don't understand what you're so hot about.
The pipeline, Dex.
You're six weeks behind schedule.
Well, that's not exactly a news flash.
We're waiting on that easement that Colbyco promised us on the land.
- We can't do a thing without it.
- Then get it.
Who the hell do you think you're talking to? I'm talking to the guy who's supposed to deliver a pipeline.
On time and on budget.
You know something, Steven? I have about had it with you.
You don't talk to people anymore.
You issue orders.
And you don't listen.
Let me suggest something to you, Steven.
It takes more than just sitting in your father's chair to run a company like Denver-Carrington.
A quick course in people management might not hurt.
- Don't lecture me, Dex.
- I'm not lecturing you.
I'm trying to help you.
I'm not blind, Steven.
I know the kind of strain you've been under, what with Matthew's death, trouble on the football team But you start alienating yourself from people and you're gonna hurt yourself.
I don't believe this.
You've got a contract with Denver-Carrington with a deadline spelled out, a deadline you seem blind to, and you're telling me how to run this company.
I'm asking you to be reasonable! And I'm telling you, I don't need your 5-cent psychoanalysis.
Just get the pipeline finished.
On time.
Don't look so worried.
Well, it's a little odd.
Meeting here and not telling anyone.
I apologise for the cloak and dagger.
I just didn't want any interruptions.
What do you want, Mr.
Rowan? Sean, please.
You know, Alexis was very upset after your conversation the other day.
She gave me the story.
I never should have told her.
Perhaps.
Look, is there a point to any of this? If not, I'm a very busy woman.
The point, Dana, is that I know why you only told Alexis part of the story.
What do you mean? You were very much in love with that young man in high school.
That is none of your concern.
We're family, Dana.
Of course I'm concerned.
I find that very hard to believe.
Otherwise, I would have told Alexis about that one night.
The only night when you and that young man were together.
It must've been difficult for you when he didn't remember a thing the next morning.
How did you find out? So, of course, when you found yourself pregnant, you really had no choice but to resolve the problem.
Billings is such a small town.
What do you want from me? For one thing, I don't want you to panic.
Your secret is safe with me.
That's what Alexis said.
Ah, yes, but then Alexis only knows half the secret, doesn't she? Oh, my God.
Somebody did tell you.
Ironic, isn't it? Hmm? Adam Carrington, who caused you so much pain as a teenager, who was the father of your unborn child, should end up giving you so much happiness as your husband.
You can't know any of that.
I do.
Oh, but I do.
And I also know that Adam doesn't know.
Please, he mustn't ever find out.
I've already told you, your secret is safe with me.
Then, what do you want? For now? For you to trust me.
I don't understand.
You will, Dana.
You will.
So the kissing booth here.
Yes, and, um, let's see.
And over there, I want to have a dunking tub, heh, for the town fool.
Of which there are going to be quite a few at this party.
And I want you to order strolling troubadours and musicians and make sure that the food is totally authentic.
Think we'll have enough room for a bawdy wench or two to make this a real Olde English Faire? Oh, I think the gentlemen at the party will be counting on it.
Mrs.
Colby, I'm just curious.
Why are you doing this for the drug rehabilitation centre? You mean because it's Krystle Carrington's favourite charity? Well, let's just say that I'm a very altruistic person and I think that we should bury our differences for this night.
I mean, it's a very worthy cause and we should raise the money for it.
As well as a little hell.
Thanks to a rather talkative lady of the night.
I don't know, Mrs.
Colby.
This film was shot by an amateur.
I did what I could to bring up the quality.
Do you think you can recognise the faces? Yeah.
I think so.
Let me run it for you.
The images are gonna be very small.
Size doesn't matter.
This will do.
This will do very nicely.
I'm falling in love with you.
Please, just finish getting dressed and leave.
Last time on Dynasty: Oh, if the fans could see you now.
Denver's finest.
Don't worry about me.
The fans are with me.
Well, then, maybe you don't need this.
Why don't you do the town, go see a hit show? Because I'd rather have dinner with you.
That's his office.
Could you answer that and tell them I'm on my way? - Mm-hm.
- Thanks.
Hello? - Is this Jeff Colby's room? - Yes, it is.
- Is he there? He can't come to the phone right now.
Are there any messages? What about Fallon? Sean Rowan, executive vice-president, Internal Affairs.
Heh.
Do I deserve it? The best wedding present I can think of.
- I can think of a better one.
- Oh.
It'll have to wait till I get back.
- Back from where? - I'm meeting a friend at the airport.
Joseph Anders, servant to the Carringtons.
They bought him off and then betrayed him.
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? Why look for revenge by hurting other people when you're only going to hurt yourself? They're going to destroy each other.
Father, mother and children.
And I'm only here to help them do it.
- I don't trust you.
- I don't trust you.
Doesn't that make a neat little triangle? My choice to head the company is Steven.
And so this morning, I met with the board of directors and I proposed, and they accepted, the creation of an executive committee.
An equal partnership with each one of you having one equal vote.
Now, in the case of disagreement And knowing my kids, there may be several from time to time.
In the event of disagreement, two votes will settle the matter.
Now, as to who sits in this chair and who runs the company on a day-to-day basis, as I told you last night, it will be Steven.
I assume that your acceptance still holds.
Yes, of course.
Steven has been my right arm here all along.
That made him a logical choice.
I hope you understand that.
Yes, Father.
Again, congratulations.
- I'm proud of you.
- Thanks, Fallon.
This has not been an easy time for any of us these past few days.
I'm very grateful to you all for the way you've handled it.
There's more that I would like to say, but, uh, this doesn't seem to be the right moment.
Steven, walk me down to the car, will you? I wanna talk over that Townsend contract.
It's the last item on my agenda.
I'd like to get it wrapped up.
I know Father meant well, but he's always been a bit myopic where Steven's concerned.
I have no problem with his sitting in Daddy's chair.
Besides, we're all equal partners.
Except that Steven's gonna be calling the shots.
Of course that doesn't bother you.
You've always been close.
It shouldn't bother you, either.
He's your brother.
Who's been fighting me ever since I came to Denver.
Then it's time to stop it.
We're all one family.
If we can't put that first, we're doomed.
Are you just preaching that, Fallon, or do you plan to put it into practise? With you and me? Okay, I deserved that.
You and I haven't been close, but that's history.
So let's make this work.
For Daddy and for everything he's worked for.
Adam Carrington.
Mr.
Carrington, Dave Alden, coach of your brother's team.
I've gotta talk to him, please.
It's urgent.
He's not here.
Is there a message? Yeah, tell him that his ex-quarterback, Skip Maitland, was picked up for dealing cocaine.
Steven and I have to get together before the press gets ahold of the story.
Don't worry.
I'll get the word to him right away.
Security, Steven Carrington's on his way down to the parking area.
Find him.
Dajly Express.
I'd like to speak to the sports editor.
So tell me about the baby.
Everything's wonderful.
I speak with Karen every day.
- Karen is the She's the mother? - Mm-hm.
Do you like her? Oh, yes.
Um Well, she's terrific.
Heh.
Adam and I are very lucky to have her.
I know.
Oh, Dana, this has all happened so fast.
Yes.
Well, Adam was very anxious to start a family, you know.
I know.
So when the doctor told you that you couldn't have children, you just decided to do something about it.
Yes.
After I found out that a surrogate was possible.
I love Adam very much and I'd do anything for him.
I know you would.
So don't you think it would have been kinder to have told him about this before the wedding? What? Well, that you couldn't have a baby.
Well, I didn't know.
Dana, surely you must have had some idea.
No.
Of course, I didn't.
I mean, years had gone by and nothing had Nothing had what? Dana.
We're not just two women sitting here having lunch, you know.
I'm Adam's mother, and I love him very, very much, and I know he loves you too.
And you, you've loved him since high school.
You followed him here, and Well, I want to be your friend.
I really do.
So please, please tell me what happened.
Please, Alexis, you must understand, this isn't easy for me to talk about.
I do.
I do understand very much, but trust me.
All right, Dana? Just trust me.
So years had gone by I was very young.
Um, just 15.
It wasn't easy in those days.
My best friend took me to see somebody.
But there were complications, and It was a botched abortion.
Hmm.
So you've always known that you couldn't have children.
No.
Of course, I didn't.
I'd Well, the doctor always Well, he told me that maybe I couldn't, but I always hoped I could.
Why didn't you talk to Adam about it? I couldn't.
It was so far in the past and You see, I love Adam so much.
I didn't wanna hurt him.
And I still don't want that to happen.
Please, please tell me you won't say anything to him.
No, no.
I won't, I promise you.
I won't, Dana.
But, God, how do you expect this marriage to work when there are three of you? You, Adam and this dreadful secret.
- Who? Ahem.
Who is it? Steven Carrington.
Hey.
Been trying to get ahold of you all morning.
Yeah, well, uh, I've just been going over some stuff for this week's game.
Do I get brownie points? It's my day off.
We have a problem.
Don't worry, I'm gonna tear that defence apart.
We have a problem off the field.
Skip Maitland just got busted for dealing cocaine.
Yeah, well, that figures.
He always was a loser.
So why are you telling me? Because he may have been supplying it to other guys on the team.
Did Maitland tell you that? Well, he's a jerk.
The police told me that.
Is it true? How do I know? I'm a quarterback, not a vice cop.
Drop the one-liners.
If there's a drug problem on the team, I wanna know.
So, what, you come to me? Look, I just throw them the football.
What they do on their own time is their business.
Wait, wait a minute.
You accusing me of something? I'm not accusing you of anything.
I'll find out sooner or later.
Sooner or later, these things come out.
Fine.
Meanwhile, you can't come in here Josh, wait a minute.
I did not come here to argue with you.
I'm just trying to make you understand that Maitland's arrest reflects on the entire team, including you and me.
Well, you listen to me.
I don't know anything about Maitland or drug pushing.
You pay me to play football and you've been busting my chops to win and win big.
I don't have time to think about anything else.
Okay, Josh.
Just understand this.
If there's a drug problem on the team, I'll find out.
Uh, ahem.
Hi, Sammy Jo? It's Josh, um Look, uh, I need to see you right away.
And what's the first thing he does? He comes and unloads on me.
I didn't get arrested, Maitland did.
Man, once a whipping boy, always a whipping boy.
It seems like he just wanted some help.
He respects your opinion.
Bull.
The only thing your ex-husband respects is winning.
The minute I stop putting points on that board, it's, "Adios, Josh.
" Why are you putting so much pressure on yourself? Ask him.
All I hear about all the time is: "Why aren't you winning bigger? You're letting the team down.
" - He says that? - Yeah.
And there's this voice that goes on in the back of my head, says: "You're gonna blow it, Harris.
You can't come through when it counts.
" You are being too hard on yourself.
You deserve more than that.
Do I deserve you? Josh.
Sammy Jo, that's why I came here.
I wanna show I can come through when it counts.
For us, for you and me.
Please, Josh, you know that Steven and I have An agreement.
I know.
So that counts me out.
Heh, good old Steven.
On my back, on and off the field.
Well, you stick to your agreement, Sammy Jo.
You see what good it does you when you reach out on a cold night.
I gotta get out of here.
I need a drink.
Oh, I hope I'm not disturbing the candidate.
Alexis, I am just leaving for home.
Dinner party? For two.
Just Krystle and me.
Well, I'll get straight to the point.
Our sweet little daughter-in-law, Dana, can't have children.
I know that.
Do you know the reason why? A botched abortion a long time ago when she was 15.
She's kept this guilty secret to herself and has not shared it with Adam.
I don't know where you get your information from, or whether it's true.
It's true.
She told me.
In any case, I don't care.
They're happy and that's the most important thing.
So please, leave them alone.
Blake, are you blind? Why do you think that Dana rushed into this surrogate mother thing? Because she loves Adam.
He wanted a child and she couldn't give him one.
She wants to have an heir.
This little nobody follows our son from Billings to Denver to try and trap him into marriage.
Once she has him, then she wants to have an heir to secure her future.
I don't wanna hear any more, you mind? Will you please listen to me? Adam is the real father of this child.
Now, we've gotta make quite sure that Dana never has any legal claim on the baby.
I am not going to let you interfere.
We're talking about something terribly important for the future of our family.
You're talking about it.
My position is clear.
I'm warning you.
Stay out of this.
And I'm warning you.
Your blind loyalty to this girl is going to cost us all.
Governor.
You can't even run your own family, let alone Colorado.
- You're very tense this morning.
- Mm.
Yes.
We can thank Blake Carrington for that.
Ugh.
I tell him the girl has a backstreet abortion and he defends her.
Darling, you're not still letting this thing with Dana ride you? No, the thing is that when I have concerns, Sean, I can't just turn them off like a tap.
God, I wish I could go to Adam with this.
Well, you decided that wouldn't be smart.
Why don't you just forget it? How can I forget it? You mean like Blake forgot it? I mean, she is a gold digger.
I know she is.
I mean, she can smell a man with money.
Yes, mm-hm.
The rich do have a distinctive scent.
- Ow.
Oh, Sean, you're hurting me.
- Sorry about that.
I think you're worrying about nothing, Alexis.
Heh, you do, do you? Well, I'll tell you something.
I don't.
Do you realise that Blake has just turned over one-third of Denver-Carrington to Adam? One-third.
Well, that's very interesting.
Interesting? It's more than interesting.
I have to protect Adam.
Otherwise, that little girl that he married is going to become a very rich and powerful woman.
You're right.
She could have a lot of power.
Uh, look, I've got a meeting, darling.
- We'll talk more when I get back.
- All right.
Bye.
Anna Gregory.
Aren't these wonderful? Where did you find all these old toys? Jeanette brought them down from the attic.
We're giving them to the children's home.
Oh, my God.
It's my favourite doll.
Annie, I used to play for hours with you.
I remember one day, Jeff was teasing me, and he grabbed Annie and accidentally pulled one of her legs off.
He said he was sorry, but I told him I would hate him forever.
The next morning, there was a box outside my door.
Jeff had spent the entire night trying to fix her leg.
It wasn't perfect, but, uh I guess nothing ever is.
Fallon.
I know that you and Jeff are going through a difficult time right now.
Can I be honest with you? You can say anything to me.
You know that.
I don't even know if we have a relationship anymore.
I can't remember the last happy moment we had, the last time we made love.
And the most difficult part is, the longer we go on like this the less I wanna try.
If you want your marriage to work, you're gonna have to try.
How? Well, um Jeff comes home from New York tonight.
The two of you should spend some time together.
Alone.
You know, ever since we left New York, you've just been burying yourself in this paperwork.
That's I wanna finish it before we get back to Denver.
That's fine for today.
But what about yesterday, this little disappearing number? I was busy.
No one is that busy.
Leslie.
What happened the other night was Wonderful.
That's all right.
You can say it.
I would, but I can't.
Because it can't happen again.
What's changed? Leslie.
I'm very attracted to you, but I've got to try and make it work with Fallon.
Try and make it work with Fallon? You're kidding yourself, you know.
Maybe.
But that's what I've decided.
Well, then, I guess I'll just, um, wish you both good luck.
And as governor, My agenda will be simple and direct.
Jobs for all those who are capable of working, compassion and assistance for those who are deserving of that assistance, and a balanced growth that will help carry this great state into the future.
Thank you.
Thank you all for your support.
Are there any questions? Is there any truth to the rumour that you'd ultimately like to be president? And live outside this beautiful state of Colorado? Never.
Mr.
Carrington, what's your reaction to the drug problem on your son's football team? Well, I'd hardly call the arrest of one former player a drug problem on the team.
What's the morale on the team now? You'll have to ask my son that.
It's his team.
You know that I'm running for governor of Colorado and if there are any questions regarding the issues in this campaign, I'd be happy to answer them.
What's your position on mandatory drug testing? I think that drug abuse is a terrible blight on our society and any reasonable method that would help us get rid of that blight, I'm in favour of.
Will you urge your son to test his team? My son makes his own decisions.
I'm sure he'll take the appropriate action.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm running a little behind schedule.
So thank you again for everything, and together we can make it happen.
Thank you very much.
Well done, Father.
But a drug scandal? That's just what you need right now.
Thank you very much, Steven.
What do you mean, "Thank you very much, Steven"? This isn't your brother's fault.
You said it yourself.
It's his team.
The way he runs it reflects on your campaign.
Adam, I don't have to tell you that the press is always out looking for a story.
Now, what they're trying to do is to pit one Carrington against the other.
Now, don't you feed that fire.
Look, Leslie Look at my desk.
Paperwork's piling up on it since I went to New York.
You know, it was a long plane ride, I'm sure you're tired.
And the car is still downstairs.
Go home.
You know, if I stay here and help you, you'll get out of here a lot quicker.
Unless, of course, you're afraid to be alone with me.
Leslie, how many ways do I have to say it? Jeff, relax.
I just wanna make a few phone calls.
Suit yourself.
Fallon.
I should have guessed.
Uh, we just got in from New York.
Jeff's in the, uh Spare me the details.
I know what you're thinking.
You're wrong.
Please don't insult me, Leslie.
Did you really think I didn't recognise your voice on the phone from Jeff's hotel room? Fallon.
What are you doing here? Interrupting, obviously.
Oh, now, wait a minute.
If you two don't mind, I'm suddenly very tired.
Look, I, uh, know what you're thinking, but you're wrong.
Isn't it funny? You even sound alike.
I guess that comes from sharing all those intimate little moments.
Fallon, don't make a federal case out of nothing.
Leslie and I, we were in New York together on business.
We flew home together and And picked up right where you left off in your hotel room.
Um Fallon, uh, we should talk.
There's so many things that I have to tell you.
First, tell me there was nothing between you and Leslie in New York.
It's not It's not that simple.
Oh, yes, it is.
Fallon.
Hello? Send him in.
- Morning, Alexis.
- Morning, Dex.
I wanted to see Sean, but he's not in his office.
No, he's out at a meeting.
But, uh, I don't know when he'll be back.
You all right? Yes.
Yes, I'm fine.
If you want to see Sean, why don't you make an appointment with his secretary? Well, maybe it's best my seeing you first.
I talked to him last week about an easement on transit rights for the pipeline.
He said he'd get back to me.
He hasn't.
- So? - Come on, face it, Alexis.
Your husband and I are strangers.
We don't even speak the same language.
You and I do.
Why should I be interested in something that no longer concerns either me or my company? Because I have a contract with Blake to go ahead on the project.
I'm a guy who keeps his word.
Blake is a guy who keeps his.
- And you want me to help you, right? - Right.
You expect me to help you with Blake Carrington? That paragon of virtue, a man who always keeps his word and never ever does anything wrong.
Look, I didn't come here to listen to a campaign speech against the competition.
Let me tell you something about the competition, Dex.
I had some business with Blake recently, a little legal business, and he had a deposition that was all neatly signed and it was signed by a women called Cora Van Husen.
Do you know what Miss Van Husen does for a living? She runs a whorehouse in Colorado Springs.
I see.
That's, uh, very interesting.
About the easement? I don't want to hear about your easement and I'm not interested in anything to do with the pipeline and if you want to talk about it, call Sean.
It's his department.
Just say it, Alexis.
I wasted my time walking in here.
You just said it, Dex.
Oh, that paragon of virtue.
Saint among saints.
Richards? I want you to call my car and chauffeur and tell them we're driving to Colorado Springs right away.
Don't tell me.
You were just in the neighbourhood and decided to drop in.
You're a very successful businesswoman, Miss Van Husen, and so am I.
That's very flattering coming from you, Mrs.
Colby.
I also know that you're very direct.
So, what do I want? I'm here to talk about the deposition you gave Blake Carrington, for which he was very appreciative.
So you think Blake Carrington paid me off.
Is that what you're saying? Let's just say that he needed a favour and so do I.
I don't sell that kind of favour, Mrs.
Colby.
The deposition said Blake's brother, Ben, was not with you on the night his mother died in that fire, but with another women.
I gave him that deposition because he's a damn good man and I didn't want to see him crucified for his mother's death.
Now as one businesswoman to another, time is money.
- Mrs.
Colby.
- Yes? I heard what you said to Cora.
Really? I have something I think you'd be interested in.
Interested? What? I was here the day Mr.
Carrington made his visit.
Did you hear anything? Or did you see anything? Better than that, Mrs.
Colby.
Much, much better.
You can see it for yourself on film.
- Morning.
- Morning, Steven.
Dad, did you say this? Well, it's out of context, but, yes, I did say it.
Well, it sounds like you're endorsing mandatory testing for my team.
Oh, I didn't say that.
But that's not such a bad idea, you know.
I think it is.
I mean, this isn't a police state.
Well, I'm not endorsing a police state.
Steven, whether we like it or not, I'm in the public eye.
Yeah, but, Dad, I'm not and I'm trying to handle this my way.
If you publicly endorse mandatory testing, we're going to be at odds, because I believe it's wrong.
And you're entitled to that belief.
But so am I, in mine.
Look, son, I didn't sell you that football team, I didn't choose you to run Denver-Carrington so that I could call the shots behind the scenes.
I want you to do what you think is best.
You really mean that? Yes, I do.
Absolutely.
- You didn't come home last night.
- Jeanette had the number.
She knew where to reach me in case of an emergency.
Jeff? If it's about Leslie It's about us.
I don't think we can be together anymore.
You're willing to throw away everything? I am? What about you? Jeff, we've both tried, but it doesn't work anymore.
I'm afraid if this goes on, we'll end up hating each other.
I don't want that.
I just wanted to make you happy and I wanted to take care of you.
That's part of the problem.
I've spent my entire life being someone's little girl.
First, Daddy, and then you.
You both wanted to protect me and I let you.
You think that was wrong? No.
I just don't want to be that little girl anymore.
I can't.
Well, you can change.
I can help This is one thing you can't fix for me, Jeff.
A separation will hurt Blake's campaign.
You're probably right.
Would you feel more comfortable if I moved into a guest bedroom? Yes, I would.
I'll have Gerard get the rest of my things this afternoon.
We're going to have to tell the family.
I'll talk to Daddy.
Goodbye, Jeff.
Well, looks like it's moving day.
I'll be staying at The Carlton for a while.
Alexis has this project that she wants me to do Fine.
Good luck.
- Separate bedrooms? - For the time being.
Look, Jeff, believe it or not, I'm sorry that things aren't going the way you planned.
But I'm not going to apologise for caring about you.
That night we spent together was very special.
It was a mistake.
I don't think you mean that.
I'll be staying in Suite 317 at The Carlton.
I'm tired of your excuses, Harris.
You don't practise, you don't play.
It's that simple.
Well, now, that's brilliant.
You're going into the biggest game of the year without your quarterback.
I'm going with whoever gives me the best shot at winning.
- Right now that's not you.
- Look, I said I was sorry.
I'll practise twice as hard tomorrow.
What do you want from me? I want you to take a complete physical.
What do you mean, a complete physical? Just that.
I'm concerned about you, Harris.
You might have some neurological damage.
You took some heavy hits in the Chicago game.
Look, man, you pay me to play football, that's it.
No one's sticking pins in my head.
You're making this tough for me, Josh.
You're playing badly and I can't take a chance on your getting hurt.
I have no choice.
You sit on the bench on Sunday.
I'll tell you what.
I'll go you one better.
I'll sit at home and watch you lose.
I quit.
- Josh, what's going on? - Ask him.
Harris just quit the team.
Quit? Why? That's a good question, Sammy Jo.
My God.
- This wedding must have cost - A fortune.
Just look at Dana.
And the house.
Now, this is where she lives, the Carrington mansion.
Servants, limousines and private plane.
Gosh.
Dana Waring.
I had no idea.
Knowing how close you were, I was surprised you weren't invited to the wedding.
Well, our lives have changed a lot since high school.
I've seen pictures of the two of you.
You were very beautiful, Anna.
Homecoming queen, weren't you? Yes, I was.
In fact, Dana made my gown for me.
That seems like such a long time ago.
It's funny, she liked doing things like that.
I was the one that wanted to be rich and famous.
It's been difficult for you, hasn't it? I manage.
My kids never go hungry.
Don't you think you deserve a little better than that? There's nothing wrong with asking a friend for help.
Dana? I would never ask her for anything.
She's moved on to a whole new life.
And forgotten her best friend.
I think that's wrong.
We all need help from time to time.
Which answers your question when we first met today.
What am I doing here? Would $10,000 make your life a little better? What? Think about it.
- Heh.
I got your message.
What do you want? I wanna know why.
What did you hope to gain? What are you talking about? I just found out who leaked the drug story to the press.
That's a serious accusation.
Can you back it up? The coach told me it was you who answered the call.
And that's it? That's your evidence? I wouldn't walk into court with that, Steven.
Anybody could have leaked that story.
Your coach, the cop who busted Maitland.
How long did you think you could keep it under wraps? Long enough to get a press statement together.
But you didn't want that, did you? You resent me so much you would do anything to make me look bad.
You don't need me to make you look bad.
You're doing a wonderful job all by yourself.
Oh, just admit it, Adam.
The one thing that really bothers you is that I'm sitting in Blake's chair.
You're wrong.
Everything about you bothers me.
Stop it.
Both of you.
Stay out of this, Fallon.
It's okay.
No, it isn't.
This is between Steven and me.
Not anymore.
Can't you see what's happening? We've been running the business for three days and we're already at each other's throats.
It has to end now or we'll destroy everything.
Oh, Diane, this is heaven.
With the campaign, there's been so little time to relax.
I just don't ever want it to end.
Hello, Krystle.
Alexis.
I'm sorry.
I hate to interrupt your busy schedule, but I'm having an Olde English Faire at The Carlton on the 14th and I'd love for you and Blake to be my guests of honour.
Well, you're just full of surprises, aren't you? I try.
Well, then try to understand this.
The last thing either one of us wants to do is to be a guest of honour at one of your parties.
Well, it's not my party.
It's for charity.
And I want the proceeds to go to your drug rehabilitation centre.
Really? Why this sudden interest in the centre? Well, it's for Steven, really.
There's been so much adverse publicity about drugs on his football team.
Why don't we see if we can forget our differences for one night, Krystle? I know I did oppose Blake in the primary, but now that he's the party's choice, I want him to win.
Oh, by the way, I understand that there's a, um, campaign film of you and Blake touring the drug rehabilitation centre.
That's right.
I'd love to show it at the party.
There are gonna be influential people there.
It could do Blake a lot of good.
Uh, I'll discuss it with him.
We'll let you know.
Good.
Ciao, Krystle.
Alexis, next time knock.
Okay? Hmm.
I still don't understand what you're so hot about.
The pipeline, Dex.
You're six weeks behind schedule.
Well, that's not exactly a news flash.
We're waiting on that easement that Colbyco promised us on the land.
- We can't do a thing without it.
- Then get it.
Who the hell do you think you're talking to? I'm talking to the guy who's supposed to deliver a pipeline.
On time and on budget.
You know something, Steven? I have about had it with you.
You don't talk to people anymore.
You issue orders.
And you don't listen.
Let me suggest something to you, Steven.
It takes more than just sitting in your father's chair to run a company like Denver-Carrington.
A quick course in people management might not hurt.
- Don't lecture me, Dex.
- I'm not lecturing you.
I'm trying to help you.
I'm not blind, Steven.
I know the kind of strain you've been under, what with Matthew's death, trouble on the football team But you start alienating yourself from people and you're gonna hurt yourself.
I don't believe this.
You've got a contract with Denver-Carrington with a deadline spelled out, a deadline you seem blind to, and you're telling me how to run this company.
I'm asking you to be reasonable! And I'm telling you, I don't need your 5-cent psychoanalysis.
Just get the pipeline finished.
On time.
Don't look so worried.
Well, it's a little odd.
Meeting here and not telling anyone.
I apologise for the cloak and dagger.
I just didn't want any interruptions.
What do you want, Mr.
Rowan? Sean, please.
You know, Alexis was very upset after your conversation the other day.
She gave me the story.
I never should have told her.
Perhaps.
Look, is there a point to any of this? If not, I'm a very busy woman.
The point, Dana, is that I know why you only told Alexis part of the story.
What do you mean? You were very much in love with that young man in high school.
That is none of your concern.
We're family, Dana.
Of course I'm concerned.
I find that very hard to believe.
Otherwise, I would have told Alexis about that one night.
The only night when you and that young man were together.
It must've been difficult for you when he didn't remember a thing the next morning.
How did you find out? So, of course, when you found yourself pregnant, you really had no choice but to resolve the problem.
Billings is such a small town.
What do you want from me? For one thing, I don't want you to panic.
Your secret is safe with me.
That's what Alexis said.
Ah, yes, but then Alexis only knows half the secret, doesn't she? Oh, my God.
Somebody did tell you.
Ironic, isn't it? Hmm? Adam Carrington, who caused you so much pain as a teenager, who was the father of your unborn child, should end up giving you so much happiness as your husband.
You can't know any of that.
I do.
Oh, but I do.
And I also know that Adam doesn't know.
Please, he mustn't ever find out.
I've already told you, your secret is safe with me.
Then, what do you want? For now? For you to trust me.
I don't understand.
You will, Dana.
You will.
So the kissing booth here.
Yes, and, um, let's see.
And over there, I want to have a dunking tub, heh, for the town fool.
Of which there are going to be quite a few at this party.
And I want you to order strolling troubadours and musicians and make sure that the food is totally authentic.
Think we'll have enough room for a bawdy wench or two to make this a real Olde English Faire? Oh, I think the gentlemen at the party will be counting on it.
Mrs.
Colby, I'm just curious.
Why are you doing this for the drug rehabilitation centre? You mean because it's Krystle Carrington's favourite charity? Well, let's just say that I'm a very altruistic person and I think that we should bury our differences for this night.
I mean, it's a very worthy cause and we should raise the money for it.
As well as a little hell.
Thanks to a rather talkative lady of the night.
I don't know, Mrs.
Colby.
This film was shot by an amateur.
I did what I could to bring up the quality.
Do you think you can recognise the faces? Yeah.
I think so.
Let me run it for you.
The images are gonna be very small.
Size doesn't matter.
This will do.
This will do very nicely.
