Dynasty s08e21 Episode Script
The Proposal
I'd like for you to read for the court this portion of the contract.
"The surrogate, Karen Atkinson, shall immediately give full custody of the child to the prospective parents on the birth of the child.
" Last time on Dynasty: How can you accuse me of trying to buy my own child? None of you are gonna get my baby.
Do you hear me? None of you! Stop this, please.
I have something I have to say.
I can't go through with this, Adam.
The baby belongs with his mother.
The baby belongs with Karen.
My God, Fallon, I don't know how you and Steven got a hold of these things.
It's all here.
Everything I need to clear myself.
- I only hope it's not too late.
- Thresher kept a record of everything.
And Sean Rowan's name is on every page.
I What's the matter? Are you all right? Oh, I'm fine.
Jeff.
Why did you really call me? I got the divorce papers today.
It's official.
I spent my whole life filling it with other people.
You've done the same thing.
You're still in love with Alexis.
You always will be.
That's the way I feel about Jeff.
I'm going after what I want.
You should do the same.
You're divorced now.
There's no reason why we can't be together.
Divorce or no divorce, I mean, there is There is nothing between us.
Please, can't you get that into your head? Well, it might take a while to get Sean's body released.
I never really had a chance to get to know him.
You are a beautiful woman.
You'll love again.
You'll be happy again.
Are you saying that all I need in my life is the love of a good man? It was pretty damn good before, wasn't it? Yes.
Yes, it was.
That wasn't Sean's body they found in the harbour after the explosion.
It was Harry Thresher.
- What? - He'd been murdered.
Shot in the head.
They're pretty sure that Sean pulled the trigger.
Steven, I think he's still alive.
Nobody could have survived that explosion.
Hello? Sean? Sean, is that you? Oh, God, what a nightmare.
What is the matter with you? You're worried about things that just aren't gonna happen.
You are not going to lose this election.
Adam is not going to lose the custody of his son.
And Sean Rowan is not alive.
So pull yourself together because he's dead.
He's dead.
Yes? Adam, it's me.
May I come in, please? I'm running late.
Please listen to me.
I didn't sleep all night.
How come? Look, I cannot undo what I did in court.
It burst out of me and I am sorry now, but you are thinking the worst.
The judge could still rule in our favour.
After you handed over my son to Karen? I know how angry you are, but you have got to believe me.
I want this baby just as much as you do.
Yes, you've made that very clear.
But our only chance of getting him is as a couple.
A loving couple, Adam.
Don't you see? That's the one thing working against Karen right now.
The judge views her as a single parent.
And we, sleeping in separate bedrooms, are the loving couple.
We were.
We can be again.
Do you remember what you said to me the night you asked me to marry you? You said that together, we can do anything.
- Dana - That's never been more true than it is right now.
Please.
Please.
We're ready.
One minute.
- Going to be ready in a minute.
- Fine.
Dad, are you sure those documents will stand up to scrutiny? Absolutely.
Dates, signatures, everything.
They'll prove that Harry Thresher and Sean Rowan were selling guns and munitions internationally and illegally.
Tight little club we're gonna open up right now.
It's so close to the election.
Do you think it'll have any impact? Well, we'll find out on election day, won't we? Okay, Blake, let's do it.
On the air, 15 seconds.
Stand by, please.
Good morning.
I've asked for this time today because I have something very important to tell you and to show you.
For the past few weeks, there's been a cloud hanging over my campaign and my family.
A scandal about illegal gun running that threatened to destroy everything that I've ever worked for.
But last night, that cloud disappeared.
They'll never believe him.
It's too late.
I have here in my hand this morning authenticated documents which will show that I was the target of a calculated plot to bring down me, my company, my campaign and my entire family.
Don't be so sure they won't buy it.
They love Blake Carrington.
They want him.
And his timing, heh, is perfect.
The eleventh-hour coup.
Exactly.
Don't overestimate his charisma.
Alexis, face it.
He's got momentum going.
- And we need to counter it.
- Why? I'm not guilty of anything.
And I am prepared to rest my charisma and my case with the voters.
What do you mean, just sit idly by and let him walk away with this election? Oh, he's not gonna walk away with anything, Russ.
In spite of what he says or does it's his image that's been tarnished, not mine.
Nurse Halliday, call Radiology.
Nurse Halliday, call Radiology.
- Excuse me.
- Yes, Mr.
Carrington? I was wondering if I could hold my son for a few minutes.
Visiting hours aren't for another hour.
I know.
But if you could bend the rules a bit for a first-time father.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Carrington, the custody case is I just thought before I go into court - All right.
But only for a minute.
- Thank you.
Dr.
Davey, call the operating room.
Dr.
Davey Ooh.
Oh.
Hi.
You know, you're gonna be a very good-Iooking man when you grow up.
I just wanna be there to see it, that's all.
Let me tell you something.
Are you listening? It's your old man.
I'll never abandon you.
Never.
I promise.
I promise.
- I don't wanna be late, Jesse.
Let's go.
- We've got plenty of time, honey.
- It's important your husband is there.
- Jesse.
Karen, will you listen to me just a minute? I know how much you love our kids and I know how important this one's become to you.
But before we go into that courtroom could you tell me how you're feeling about us? Jesse, look, I'm I'll get it.
- What do you want? - To talk to Karen.
We're on our way to court.
That's why I came here.
I want to ask you one last time.
Will you drop the custody suit? She's not dropping it.
I'd have to be blind not to know that you might win.
- Heh.
I'm asking you to think this through.
Karen, I was raised without my real father.
And I've always vowed that was never gonna to happen to my child.
That's Karen's child too.
I'm only asking for joint custody.
- Only.
You know what that only will - Will you keep the hell out of this? And so I'm offering what I think is a reasonable compromise.
You could move into the mansion with your daughters.
That's enough.
I want you out of here.
Adam, you better go.
He's my son, and you are not gonna raise him.
Well, I have nothing against your magazine but I don't put too much stock in pre-election polls.
Too many variables.
Come in.
Well, I've run an honest campaign and a good campaign.
And I'm really looking forward to being the first woman governor of this great state.
Yes.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Bye-bye.
Ah, interviews, the bane of my life.
You sure know how to handle them.
You know exactly what to say.
I'd have to script everything.
Yes, I'm sure you would.
I was told you wanted to see me.
Yes.
I actually wanted to see you before but things have been so hectic around here.
Sit down, Leslie.
Thank you.
My first order of business, after I'm elected is to streamline my organisation.
Cut out the dead wood.
Well, if there's anything I can do organisation is one of my strong suits.
Yes.
One of many.
Now, I'm an executive, and I hate unfinished business.
You just name the project and I'll get on it right away.
Good.
I like your attitude.
Because the project is you.
Heh.
I don't understand.
Oh, come now, Leslie.
You're a smart young woman.
I'm sure you can figure it out.
What is this about, Alexis? It's about you.
And about me.
I'm firing you, Leslie, and I'm sure you know the reason why.
You can't do this, Alexis.
Oh, yes, I can.
And I have.
I've already notified personnel.
Can't we just talk about it? There's nothing to talk about.
I want you out of the building right now.
And, Leslie, lest you think ill of me, I haven't forgotten your severance pay.
The bracelet that you dropped in my bedroom when you were doing whatever it was you were doing.
Goodbye, Leslie.
Yes, sir.
All rise.
This court is now in session.
The Honourable Judge Edward P.
Langdon presiding.
A complicated case.
A difficult decision.
This court wants both the plaintiff and the defendant to be aware that it will not render a decision based on right or wrong on either side.
What's best for the child in question, that's the issue before this court.
I cannot, however, ignore the issue of the contract entered into in good faith by both parties.
It presents us with the moral question of whether or not a child, a human being, may be contracted for.
Sold, if you will, as might any other goods or services.
This court is quite understanding of the motives of the father, Adam Carrington.
He wanted a child, his blood.
Mr.
Carrington and his wife sought what seemed to them to be a viable alternative: The surrogate mother programme.
Understandable.
But of equal importance to this court is the link between child and mother.
The natural mother.
That's older and more established than the law itself.
Yet, the natural mother, in this case, Karen Atkinson, is a single parent.
Already raising two young children, and Your Honour, if it please the court, may I speak? What is it, counsellor? Sorry for the interruption, I've learned something that may have bearing on the court's decision.
- Objection.
We've heard all the - Judge.
This is pertinent.
You referred to my client as a single parent? - Yes? Mr.
And Mrs.
Atkinson have just informed me that they have agreed to a reconciliation.
It's a trick.
It's a cheap trick.
You're out of order, Mr.
Carrington.
I assure you, Your Honour, the Atkinsons are quite sincere.
Who's paying you this time, Jesse? I won't warn you again, Mr.
Carrington.
Sit down or I'll have you removed from this hearing room.
Your Honour, I must agree with my client.
This last minute bit of histrionics is an insult to this court.
The truth is never an insult.
The Atkinsons are ready, willing and able to offer this child a secure environment both with a mother and a father.
For how long? Until the next desertion, Atkinson? That's enough, Mr.
Carrington.
I can hold you in contempt.
Judge, I move that all this be stricken from the record.
What's the matter? Afraid your money isn't gonna buy you justice? - You don't want my child, Jesse.
- Quiet.
That's some trick.
- Adam.
Quiet.
- You don't want my child.
- You have to buy justice! I want order in this court.
I want order now.
Judge, we only want to be heard.
No, counsellor, I've heard enough.
I will not have my court turned into a free-for-all.
Now, I'm well aware of the emotions of this case but they can have no bearing on my decision.
You will all be notified when I've come to that decision.
- This court is now in recess.
All rise.
Adam.
- I'm sorry.
- For what? Trying to pull this stunt? You're not gonna get away with it.
Adam.
- Dana.
Stand back.
He needs to be alone for a while.
I just feel so alone in all of this.
Mr.
Carrington, how did it go? Did the judge give his decision? - I have nothing to say.
Mr.
Carrington, please Adam! Adam, darling, please, wait.
Adam.
Adam, this isn't over yet, darling.
I mean, this judge is not gonna be fooled by these people.
Won't he? Don't be so sure, Mother.
Mrs.
Colby, Blake Carrington blames the entire arms scandal on your husband Sean Rowan.
Any reaction? Right now, my concern is for my son.
As you know, Sean Rowan is dead.
- Excuse me.
- Mrs.
Colby No, all I want you to do is just pull out the commercials we've been running and replace them with the ones we shipped yesterday.
Yeah, yeah, on all stations.
Ray, listen, I gotta go.
I'll talk to you later.
Bye.
I'm glad you're back.
Why? Because I have something to ask you.
Guess now is as good a time as any.
It seems that my life has been like a roller coaster this past year.
And I've made a lot of decisions, and some of them weren't right.
But I know that what I am going to ask you is right.
Go ahead.
I'm listening.
I want you to marry me.
Heh.
I love you, and I want you to be my wife.
Heh, I don't know what to say.
Say yes.
Oh, it's so quick.
I mean What? Well, it's not like you, to push.
You're the You're the kind of guy that thinks things through.
I have thought it through.
I mean, if it seems like I'm pushing, it's because I know it's right.
Sammy Jo, I love you.
Look, we only go around once.
Let's do it.
Let's not miss our chance at being happy.
Let's get married.
I just need a little time to think.
- Sammy Jo.
- I do.
Just a little time.
Adam, you've been avoiding me all day.
And I have to talk to you.
And tell me what? That the Atkinsons are as much a couple as we are? I'd say they were better qualified.
If they win, we can still appeal.
We can fight this thing together.
It's too late for that, Dana.
Uh, what are you saying? What should have been said a long time ago.
Alexis was right.
You didn't want this marriage to work for us, just for yourself.
- That's not true.
- Yes, it is.
And now you've helped them take my son away from me.
What could possibly be left for us? Maybe you're right.
Maybe there is no us anymore.
But if that is true, then you have to take some of the blame.
I have been so wrapped up in my own guilt that I have allowed you and your mother to make me a scapegoat.
- Well, no more.
- Let's end this right now, shall we? No, let's not.
You know, Adam, I was beginning to think that I was wrong for standing up for Karen in court.
But the more I realise how selfish you are the more I'm glad I did.
A child needs love from giving parents.
And you obviously don't know how to give, only how to take.
- Dana, listen to me.
- No.
I am sick and tired of listening to you.
We could have had it all.
And now we have nothing.
As much as I have loved you, that's how much I hate you right now.
Goodbye.
Daddy? Daddy, it's dark.
Oh, it sure is.
And I promised Mommy I'd have you home early.
Let's hit the road.
- Daddy? - Yeah? Will you still be my daddy if Mommy gets married again? Of course, I will, Danny.
Why do you ask? I heard him ask her.
- Him, who? - Uncle Jeff.
Did he? - Hi.
- Hi.
- Where's Danny? - I dropped him off at the house.
- He's playing with L.
B.
- It's past his dinnertime, Steven.
He'll eat there.
He'll be fine.
I wanted to talk to you alone.
About what? I know I have no right to try to tell you how to live your life.
What's this all about, Steven? You and Jeff.
What about us? He proposed to you, didn't he? - Who told you that? - Danny.
He heard Jeff ask you and he wanted to know if I would still be his father.
All right, now that you know I'd like to know what your answer was.
That's none of your business.
All right.
And I have no right being here either.
Steven.
I didn't answer yes or no.
I said I needed time.
That's good.
Why? What if I had said yes? Would that have upset you and gone against your emotional grain? - I just don't wanna see you get hurt.
- How am I gonna get hurt? Fallon and Jeff have only been divorced for a short time.
You're concerned about how your sister's gonna feel.
I'm concerned about you, damn it, because it's all happening too quickly.
Ever since they were kids, Jeff has been crazy about Fallon.
And until a few months ago they had seven years of marriage and two children between them.
Are you ready to inherit all of that? Maybe.
But that's my decision to make.
Well, I know my sister.
And she makes a lot of decisions of her own.
And if she and Jeff have some unfinished business between them Then I'll get hurt, just like you said.
Yes.
Well, thanks for your concern, Steven.
I'll just have to fend this one for myself.
Good night, Sammy Jo.
Blake Carrington blames the entire arms scandal on your husband, Sean Rowan.
Any reaction? Rjght now, my concern is for my son.
As you know, Sean Rowan is dead.
- Excuse me.
Mrs.
Colby, just one Is he now? Come on.
Rio? Rio, what's the matter? Rio.
Rio, stop that.
What are you doing, you silly little thing? Hmm? Oh.
Who is it? It's Dex.
Oh, Dex.
Okay.
Come on in.
- How are you? - Hi.
I've got some news I think you might wanna hear.
- What news? - Well, a reliable source claims that Sean Rowan was seen in Nairobi last week.
That's impossible.
He could never have survived that explosion.
Probably not.
But would you rather I said nothing? Dex, sometimes I've had nightmares that he's still alive but I know he's dead, so there's nothing more to be said.
Yeah.
Well, at the risk of currying political favour, what do you think the chances are of taking the candidate out for lunch? Getting your mind off the hassles for a while? I'd say the chances were excellent.
- Just take care of Rio for me.
- Yeah.
And I'll be right back.
Well, Rio What is it? Someone asked me to marry him.
I didn't know you were seeing anyone.
Well, nobody knew.
Who is he? It's Jeff.
Jeff? Mm.
And he proposed.
What did you say? I said that I wasn't sure.
Do you love him? Yeah, I do.
I mean, I think I do.
Why is it so hard to really know? Heh, Sammy Jo, you just broke up with Steven.
Maybe you're rushing into a relationship too soon.
No, it's over with Steven.
And I know this isn't a rebound.
I see.
You're not really convinced of that, are you? Sammy Jo, if you love Jeff, then be with him.
But you should know there are going to be some problems.
Why? Is it gonna be uncomfortable on the holidays when the whole family's here at the house? Yes.
I think it could be very uncomfortable.
Especially for Blake.
I don't think he's gonna find this easy to take.
Mainly because of Fallon, I know.
But I also know that Fallon and Jeff are divorced.
I don't think he's ever given up hope that they'll get back together again.
Denver's childhood sweethearts.
Well, that particular fairy tale is over.
I know that.
But why don't you give your relationship with Jeff some time? The problems aren't going to go away.
And what about the children? And Fallon? You and Jeff can't separate yourselves from that part of your lives.
And Blake will be angry if I separate Jeff from Fallon.
Sammy Jo, Fallon will always be a reality in both of your lives.
What do I do? I don't know.
I guess you do whatever feels right to you.
Aunt Krystle.
Aunt Krystle, is something wrong? Oh.
No, it's just a headache.
I'm fine.
Thank you.
I'm sorry that my lunch ran longer than expected.
I'll just have to reschedule the meeting.
Yes? All right.
Thanks.
I'll get back to you.
Bye.
Come in.
What the hell do you want? I've come to apologise.
I'd like you to forgive me.
Oh, I suppose you didn't mean to hurt me.
No, Alexis, I didn't mean to hurt you.
I know I betrayed you with Sean.
And I'll have to live with that for the rest of my life.
You certainly will.
- Now, I'm busy.
Would you leave? - Can you just give me a minute - to beg you for? - Beg? For what? For another chance.
You gave me a wonderful opportunity at Colbyco and I wanna start all over again.
I was good for the company once, and I would do it again if you just gave me another chance.
I'm sorry, Leslie.
But I'm afraid there's no room at Colbyco for somebody with your, well, particular skills.
listing all of your special talents, starting with, um, company tramp.
Or should that be company slut? Which do you prefer? I know you don't wanna hear this, but I was taken in by Sean.
Mm.
Weren't we all? Then you understand.
Look, I don't have any money and I need a job.
I don't care what you need, Leslie.
You're just a whore.
Ah, that's the word I was looking for.
Company whore.
- Oh, Alexis.
- Hon, don't give me those tears.
It's just another one of your great performances, isn't it? No, you have to believe me.
I don't have to do anything, Leslie.
And I just want you to get out of my house right now.
Go! I didn't expect you'd take it this way.
How did you expect me to take it? Yeah, I guess you're right.
We do love each other.
- Why hasn't Sammy Jo said yes? - She will.
Don't you see what you're doing, Jeff? I know exactly what I'm doing.
It's a big mistake.
Let's just drop it.
This is none of your business.
This family is my business.
The ink isn't even dry on your divorce papers.
Don't you have any concern about how Fallon might feel? This has nothing to do with family or Fallon.
This has to do with you.
- What are you talking about? - You can't control Sammy Jo.
- I'm not trying to, Jeff.
- Oh, come on, Steven, face it.
For the past year, you've had her under your brand of protective custody and it's smothering her.
I'm sorry.
What are we doing anyway? We've known each other a long time, we've been friends and buddies and we're standing here yelling at each other, looking like a couple of jerks.
Maybe the problem is that we both care about Fallon and Sammy Jo too much.
Steven, you tell me.
If you feel you're the right one for Sammy Jo, the best thing for her, I'll back away.
I really mean that.
Election results are coming in from all precincts now.
Blake Carrington appears to have a commanding lead in the urban precincts reporting so far.
- Exjt polls - Carrington is doing well.
James Rayford - Very, very well.
Rayford and I aren't doing badly either.
Yes, but it appears that Carrington is the Russ, appearances, as you know, can be deceptive.
The first thing you learn in politics is to heed the warning posts.
Alexis, why don't we get down to your campaign headquarters? I'll write up an appropriate concession speech just in case you need it.
Oh, no, Russ.
I have never conceded defeat in my life.
Not to Blake Carrington, and I'm certainly not gonna start now.
Adam? Krystle told me that you were coming down here tonight.
Why? What are you doing here? It's election night.
You're my son, aren't you? There's nothing more important than that.
Then you'll appreciate why I'm here.
It's about my son.
The judge hasn't let anyone see him before he renders his decision.
I wanna make him understand what that child means to me.
Adam.
Son, I know what you're going through.
But this kind of behaviour is not gonna help your case.
The judge is just gonna think it's another emotional outburst.
Now, you have got to get a hold of yourself.
Did you get hold of yourself when I was taken from you and Mother? Actually, no.
No, I didn't.
I went a little crazy.
We both did.
More than a little, really.
But it didn't help then.
It's not gonna help now.
I can't just stand around waiting for my world to cave in.
- What do I do? - Let the court make the decision.
And then you stand by it, whatever it is.
And then I'll stand by you.
Okay.
Come on.
As you can see behind me, the mood here at Carrington headquarters is borderline celebration.
They know their candidate is leading by a good margin and they can almost taste victory.
Maybe we should get down there.
Oh, take it easy, Bill.
We're doing fine, but it's still not over yet.
A lot of districts to be heard from.
Well, I wonder what Alexis will say in her concession speech.
If she makes one.
You know Alexis.
I hope you haven't come to say, "I told you so.
" No, I've come to say I'm sorry.
Hey, it was a tight race.
You almost pulled it off.
I don't like to deal in almosts, Dex.
For what it's worth, I think you gave them a hell of a run for their money and I'm proud of you.
You really mean that, don't you? Sure, I mean it.
Now, just what is going on behind those twinkling dark eyes of yours? Just remembering.
Be careful.
Memories can tend to forget the bad times.
I don't think that's possible with us.
But for every bad moment that we had, I think there were at least two good ones.
Hmm.
Not great ones? You took the words right out of my mouth.
Well, heh, aren't you just full of surprises, Mr.
Dexter.
In fact, I have another surprise that I have to do.
Maybe you'd like to join me? And that is? Well, ridiculous as this may sound, the voters of this great state are intending to put Blake Carrington in the governor's mansion.
And since I'm such a good sport, I thought I might just go over there and give them my congratulations.
Hmm.
Now? Well, not right now.
Dear Dad, I've made some decisions about my life.
Things are becoming more and more clear, and Steven, what are you doing? Nothing much.
Well, you're missing all the fun.
Daddy's almost governor.
Is something wrong? No.
Not really.
- Uh-oh.
- What? I recognise that tone of voice.
It means there is definitely something wrong.
What is it? You're gonna hear sooner or later.
I might as well be the one to tell you.
In fact, I'd rather you hear it from me.
Go on.
Jeff proposed to Sammy Jo.
I see.
Well, I wish him luck.
I hope he's happy.
I guess that takes care of both our lives.
Just like that? Things happen in life just like that, don't they? You're feeling fine and then all of a sudden, you get a headache.
Or the sun is shining and then it's raining.
Come on, Fallon, what are you really feeling? What kind of question is that supposed to be? It's just an open question.
Except the matter is closed, isn't it? Sammy Jo is gonna marry Jeff, and No.
She hasn't given him an answer yet.
Well, whatever.
I don't wanna talk about it anymore.
You told me, I heard.
Why are you making such a big deal about it? You okay? I don't know.
Tell me what you're thinking.
Come on, just let it out.
I'm thinking I guess I always knew Jeff would end up with somebody else.
I just didn't think it would be so soon.
Adam? Father, I must be the only person who hasn't congratulated you yet.
Well, you've got a lot on your mind.
If I didn't say it before, thank you for those words of encouragement outside the courthouse.
That's not necessary, really.
All I want is for you and Dana to be happy.
By the way, where is she? She's not feeling very well.
Whatever it is, I think I'm coming down with it too.
Sooner I get to bed, the better.
Good night.
Blake.
Call them premature, but we have gotten telegrams from the governors of 14 states saying, in essence: "Congratulations and welcome aboard!" That's fine, but a little optimistic, isn't it? Only 40 percent of the votes have been counted.
Let's see what the networks are saying.
Blake.
- Ah! - Congratulations, Blake.
- Congratulations, Blake.
- Thank you.
Thank you, Dex.
Well, it turned out to be a very tight race after all.
You put up a hell of a fight, Alexis.
Yes.
I did, didn't I? Want you to know how much I appreciate your coming here to concede.
Well, thank you, Blake.
But just remember, you're not going to be elected forever.
And possibly, in four years, I might give you a run for your money.
Now we take you back - Congratulations.
Blake, listen to this.
I repeat, bringing you up to date from Blake Carrington's headquarters.
In the last hour, Carrington's lead has been cut almost in half.
Wjth the ballots from the rural areas still to be counted, jt's now become a three-way race between Carrington, Rayford and Mrs.
Colby.
It appears our projection of victory for the Carrington campaign may have been premature.
Well, it just may be.
What is that quaint old American saying? "It ain't over until it's over"? Good night, everybody.
Dex.
Good night.
Nurse - Hello, Mrs.
Atkinson, Mr.
Atkinson.
- Nurse.
Hello.
We thought we might drop in on the baby for a minute.
Oh, well, visiting hours are long over, and Oh, excuse me.
I'll be right there.
I must take care of this.
I'll be right back.
Adam, I wondered whether you need Dr.
Davey - Nurse, we know it's late - I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
- And it's after visiting hours - Jesse, she's right.
It is after visiting hours.
We're sorry.
We don't wanna get you into trouble.
I suppose it would be all right.
- Oh, you're beautiful.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Come on.
- Ha-ha-ha.
Dr.
Brady, call nurse service.
He's such a good baby.
He was almost asleep before he finished his last bottle.
What's this? Where is he? Where's my baby? What's going on here, nurse? I'm not sure.
Well, I gave him his last feeding - just half an hour ago.
- Where is he? Where's my baby? - Well, he's not here.
- Where is he? Where is my baby? - Where the hell's the baby? - Do something! Do something! What's going on? What could they have done with him? How could this happen? - That's all.
Just a mistake.
- Oh, God.
Karen? Karen.
Oh, God! How could this be? Adam couldn't take my baby!
"The surrogate, Karen Atkinson, shall immediately give full custody of the child to the prospective parents on the birth of the child.
" Last time on Dynasty: How can you accuse me of trying to buy my own child? None of you are gonna get my baby.
Do you hear me? None of you! Stop this, please.
I have something I have to say.
I can't go through with this, Adam.
The baby belongs with his mother.
The baby belongs with Karen.
My God, Fallon, I don't know how you and Steven got a hold of these things.
It's all here.
Everything I need to clear myself.
- I only hope it's not too late.
- Thresher kept a record of everything.
And Sean Rowan's name is on every page.
I What's the matter? Are you all right? Oh, I'm fine.
Jeff.
Why did you really call me? I got the divorce papers today.
It's official.
I spent my whole life filling it with other people.
You've done the same thing.
You're still in love with Alexis.
You always will be.
That's the way I feel about Jeff.
I'm going after what I want.
You should do the same.
You're divorced now.
There's no reason why we can't be together.
Divorce or no divorce, I mean, there is There is nothing between us.
Please, can't you get that into your head? Well, it might take a while to get Sean's body released.
I never really had a chance to get to know him.
You are a beautiful woman.
You'll love again.
You'll be happy again.
Are you saying that all I need in my life is the love of a good man? It was pretty damn good before, wasn't it? Yes.
Yes, it was.
That wasn't Sean's body they found in the harbour after the explosion.
It was Harry Thresher.
- What? - He'd been murdered.
Shot in the head.
They're pretty sure that Sean pulled the trigger.
Steven, I think he's still alive.
Nobody could have survived that explosion.
Hello? Sean? Sean, is that you? Oh, God, what a nightmare.
What is the matter with you? You're worried about things that just aren't gonna happen.
You are not going to lose this election.
Adam is not going to lose the custody of his son.
And Sean Rowan is not alive.
So pull yourself together because he's dead.
He's dead.
Yes? Adam, it's me.
May I come in, please? I'm running late.
Please listen to me.
I didn't sleep all night.
How come? Look, I cannot undo what I did in court.
It burst out of me and I am sorry now, but you are thinking the worst.
The judge could still rule in our favour.
After you handed over my son to Karen? I know how angry you are, but you have got to believe me.
I want this baby just as much as you do.
Yes, you've made that very clear.
But our only chance of getting him is as a couple.
A loving couple, Adam.
Don't you see? That's the one thing working against Karen right now.
The judge views her as a single parent.
And we, sleeping in separate bedrooms, are the loving couple.
We were.
We can be again.
Do you remember what you said to me the night you asked me to marry you? You said that together, we can do anything.
- Dana - That's never been more true than it is right now.
Please.
Please.
We're ready.
One minute.
- Going to be ready in a minute.
- Fine.
Dad, are you sure those documents will stand up to scrutiny? Absolutely.
Dates, signatures, everything.
They'll prove that Harry Thresher and Sean Rowan were selling guns and munitions internationally and illegally.
Tight little club we're gonna open up right now.
It's so close to the election.
Do you think it'll have any impact? Well, we'll find out on election day, won't we? Okay, Blake, let's do it.
On the air, 15 seconds.
Stand by, please.
Good morning.
I've asked for this time today because I have something very important to tell you and to show you.
For the past few weeks, there's been a cloud hanging over my campaign and my family.
A scandal about illegal gun running that threatened to destroy everything that I've ever worked for.
But last night, that cloud disappeared.
They'll never believe him.
It's too late.
I have here in my hand this morning authenticated documents which will show that I was the target of a calculated plot to bring down me, my company, my campaign and my entire family.
Don't be so sure they won't buy it.
They love Blake Carrington.
They want him.
And his timing, heh, is perfect.
The eleventh-hour coup.
Exactly.
Don't overestimate his charisma.
Alexis, face it.
He's got momentum going.
- And we need to counter it.
- Why? I'm not guilty of anything.
And I am prepared to rest my charisma and my case with the voters.
What do you mean, just sit idly by and let him walk away with this election? Oh, he's not gonna walk away with anything, Russ.
In spite of what he says or does it's his image that's been tarnished, not mine.
Nurse Halliday, call Radiology.
Nurse Halliday, call Radiology.
- Excuse me.
- Yes, Mr.
Carrington? I was wondering if I could hold my son for a few minutes.
Visiting hours aren't for another hour.
I know.
But if you could bend the rules a bit for a first-time father.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Carrington, the custody case is I just thought before I go into court - All right.
But only for a minute.
- Thank you.
Dr.
Davey, call the operating room.
Dr.
Davey Ooh.
Oh.
Hi.
You know, you're gonna be a very good-Iooking man when you grow up.
I just wanna be there to see it, that's all.
Let me tell you something.
Are you listening? It's your old man.
I'll never abandon you.
Never.
I promise.
I promise.
- I don't wanna be late, Jesse.
Let's go.
- We've got plenty of time, honey.
- It's important your husband is there.
- Jesse.
Karen, will you listen to me just a minute? I know how much you love our kids and I know how important this one's become to you.
But before we go into that courtroom could you tell me how you're feeling about us? Jesse, look, I'm I'll get it.
- What do you want? - To talk to Karen.
We're on our way to court.
That's why I came here.
I want to ask you one last time.
Will you drop the custody suit? She's not dropping it.
I'd have to be blind not to know that you might win.
- Heh.
I'm asking you to think this through.
Karen, I was raised without my real father.
And I've always vowed that was never gonna to happen to my child.
That's Karen's child too.
I'm only asking for joint custody.
- Only.
You know what that only will - Will you keep the hell out of this? And so I'm offering what I think is a reasonable compromise.
You could move into the mansion with your daughters.
That's enough.
I want you out of here.
Adam, you better go.
He's my son, and you are not gonna raise him.
Well, I have nothing against your magazine but I don't put too much stock in pre-election polls.
Too many variables.
Come in.
Well, I've run an honest campaign and a good campaign.
And I'm really looking forward to being the first woman governor of this great state.
Yes.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Bye-bye.
Ah, interviews, the bane of my life.
You sure know how to handle them.
You know exactly what to say.
I'd have to script everything.
Yes, I'm sure you would.
I was told you wanted to see me.
Yes.
I actually wanted to see you before but things have been so hectic around here.
Sit down, Leslie.
Thank you.
My first order of business, after I'm elected is to streamline my organisation.
Cut out the dead wood.
Well, if there's anything I can do organisation is one of my strong suits.
Yes.
One of many.
Now, I'm an executive, and I hate unfinished business.
You just name the project and I'll get on it right away.
Good.
I like your attitude.
Because the project is you.
Heh.
I don't understand.
Oh, come now, Leslie.
You're a smart young woman.
I'm sure you can figure it out.
What is this about, Alexis? It's about you.
And about me.
I'm firing you, Leslie, and I'm sure you know the reason why.
You can't do this, Alexis.
Oh, yes, I can.
And I have.
I've already notified personnel.
Can't we just talk about it? There's nothing to talk about.
I want you out of the building right now.
And, Leslie, lest you think ill of me, I haven't forgotten your severance pay.
The bracelet that you dropped in my bedroom when you were doing whatever it was you were doing.
Goodbye, Leslie.
Yes, sir.
All rise.
This court is now in session.
The Honourable Judge Edward P.
Langdon presiding.
A complicated case.
A difficult decision.
This court wants both the plaintiff and the defendant to be aware that it will not render a decision based on right or wrong on either side.
What's best for the child in question, that's the issue before this court.
I cannot, however, ignore the issue of the contract entered into in good faith by both parties.
It presents us with the moral question of whether or not a child, a human being, may be contracted for.
Sold, if you will, as might any other goods or services.
This court is quite understanding of the motives of the father, Adam Carrington.
He wanted a child, his blood.
Mr.
Carrington and his wife sought what seemed to them to be a viable alternative: The surrogate mother programme.
Understandable.
But of equal importance to this court is the link between child and mother.
The natural mother.
That's older and more established than the law itself.
Yet, the natural mother, in this case, Karen Atkinson, is a single parent.
Already raising two young children, and Your Honour, if it please the court, may I speak? What is it, counsellor? Sorry for the interruption, I've learned something that may have bearing on the court's decision.
- Objection.
We've heard all the - Judge.
This is pertinent.
You referred to my client as a single parent? - Yes? Mr.
And Mrs.
Atkinson have just informed me that they have agreed to a reconciliation.
It's a trick.
It's a cheap trick.
You're out of order, Mr.
Carrington.
I assure you, Your Honour, the Atkinsons are quite sincere.
Who's paying you this time, Jesse? I won't warn you again, Mr.
Carrington.
Sit down or I'll have you removed from this hearing room.
Your Honour, I must agree with my client.
This last minute bit of histrionics is an insult to this court.
The truth is never an insult.
The Atkinsons are ready, willing and able to offer this child a secure environment both with a mother and a father.
For how long? Until the next desertion, Atkinson? That's enough, Mr.
Carrington.
I can hold you in contempt.
Judge, I move that all this be stricken from the record.
What's the matter? Afraid your money isn't gonna buy you justice? - You don't want my child, Jesse.
- Quiet.
That's some trick.
- Adam.
Quiet.
- You don't want my child.
- You have to buy justice! I want order in this court.
I want order now.
Judge, we only want to be heard.
No, counsellor, I've heard enough.
I will not have my court turned into a free-for-all.
Now, I'm well aware of the emotions of this case but they can have no bearing on my decision.
You will all be notified when I've come to that decision.
- This court is now in recess.
All rise.
Adam.
- I'm sorry.
- For what? Trying to pull this stunt? You're not gonna get away with it.
Adam.
- Dana.
Stand back.
He needs to be alone for a while.
I just feel so alone in all of this.
Mr.
Carrington, how did it go? Did the judge give his decision? - I have nothing to say.
Mr.
Carrington, please Adam! Adam, darling, please, wait.
Adam.
Adam, this isn't over yet, darling.
I mean, this judge is not gonna be fooled by these people.
Won't he? Don't be so sure, Mother.
Mrs.
Colby, Blake Carrington blames the entire arms scandal on your husband Sean Rowan.
Any reaction? Right now, my concern is for my son.
As you know, Sean Rowan is dead.
- Excuse me.
- Mrs.
Colby No, all I want you to do is just pull out the commercials we've been running and replace them with the ones we shipped yesterday.
Yeah, yeah, on all stations.
Ray, listen, I gotta go.
I'll talk to you later.
Bye.
I'm glad you're back.
Why? Because I have something to ask you.
Guess now is as good a time as any.
It seems that my life has been like a roller coaster this past year.
And I've made a lot of decisions, and some of them weren't right.
But I know that what I am going to ask you is right.
Go ahead.
I'm listening.
I want you to marry me.
Heh.
I love you, and I want you to be my wife.
Heh, I don't know what to say.
Say yes.
Oh, it's so quick.
I mean What? Well, it's not like you, to push.
You're the You're the kind of guy that thinks things through.
I have thought it through.
I mean, if it seems like I'm pushing, it's because I know it's right.
Sammy Jo, I love you.
Look, we only go around once.
Let's do it.
Let's not miss our chance at being happy.
Let's get married.
I just need a little time to think.
- Sammy Jo.
- I do.
Just a little time.
Adam, you've been avoiding me all day.
And I have to talk to you.
And tell me what? That the Atkinsons are as much a couple as we are? I'd say they were better qualified.
If they win, we can still appeal.
We can fight this thing together.
It's too late for that, Dana.
Uh, what are you saying? What should have been said a long time ago.
Alexis was right.
You didn't want this marriage to work for us, just for yourself.
- That's not true.
- Yes, it is.
And now you've helped them take my son away from me.
What could possibly be left for us? Maybe you're right.
Maybe there is no us anymore.
But if that is true, then you have to take some of the blame.
I have been so wrapped up in my own guilt that I have allowed you and your mother to make me a scapegoat.
- Well, no more.
- Let's end this right now, shall we? No, let's not.
You know, Adam, I was beginning to think that I was wrong for standing up for Karen in court.
But the more I realise how selfish you are the more I'm glad I did.
A child needs love from giving parents.
And you obviously don't know how to give, only how to take.
- Dana, listen to me.
- No.
I am sick and tired of listening to you.
We could have had it all.
And now we have nothing.
As much as I have loved you, that's how much I hate you right now.
Goodbye.
Daddy? Daddy, it's dark.
Oh, it sure is.
And I promised Mommy I'd have you home early.
Let's hit the road.
- Daddy? - Yeah? Will you still be my daddy if Mommy gets married again? Of course, I will, Danny.
Why do you ask? I heard him ask her.
- Him, who? - Uncle Jeff.
Did he? - Hi.
- Hi.
- Where's Danny? - I dropped him off at the house.
- He's playing with L.
B.
- It's past his dinnertime, Steven.
He'll eat there.
He'll be fine.
I wanted to talk to you alone.
About what? I know I have no right to try to tell you how to live your life.
What's this all about, Steven? You and Jeff.
What about us? He proposed to you, didn't he? - Who told you that? - Danny.
He heard Jeff ask you and he wanted to know if I would still be his father.
All right, now that you know I'd like to know what your answer was.
That's none of your business.
All right.
And I have no right being here either.
Steven.
I didn't answer yes or no.
I said I needed time.
That's good.
Why? What if I had said yes? Would that have upset you and gone against your emotional grain? - I just don't wanna see you get hurt.
- How am I gonna get hurt? Fallon and Jeff have only been divorced for a short time.
You're concerned about how your sister's gonna feel.
I'm concerned about you, damn it, because it's all happening too quickly.
Ever since they were kids, Jeff has been crazy about Fallon.
And until a few months ago they had seven years of marriage and two children between them.
Are you ready to inherit all of that? Maybe.
But that's my decision to make.
Well, I know my sister.
And she makes a lot of decisions of her own.
And if she and Jeff have some unfinished business between them Then I'll get hurt, just like you said.
Yes.
Well, thanks for your concern, Steven.
I'll just have to fend this one for myself.
Good night, Sammy Jo.
Blake Carrington blames the entire arms scandal on your husband, Sean Rowan.
Any reaction? Rjght now, my concern is for my son.
As you know, Sean Rowan is dead.
- Excuse me.
Mrs.
Colby, just one Is he now? Come on.
Rio? Rio, what's the matter? Rio.
Rio, stop that.
What are you doing, you silly little thing? Hmm? Oh.
Who is it? It's Dex.
Oh, Dex.
Okay.
Come on in.
- How are you? - Hi.
I've got some news I think you might wanna hear.
- What news? - Well, a reliable source claims that Sean Rowan was seen in Nairobi last week.
That's impossible.
He could never have survived that explosion.
Probably not.
But would you rather I said nothing? Dex, sometimes I've had nightmares that he's still alive but I know he's dead, so there's nothing more to be said.
Yeah.
Well, at the risk of currying political favour, what do you think the chances are of taking the candidate out for lunch? Getting your mind off the hassles for a while? I'd say the chances were excellent.
- Just take care of Rio for me.
- Yeah.
And I'll be right back.
Well, Rio What is it? Someone asked me to marry him.
I didn't know you were seeing anyone.
Well, nobody knew.
Who is he? It's Jeff.
Jeff? Mm.
And he proposed.
What did you say? I said that I wasn't sure.
Do you love him? Yeah, I do.
I mean, I think I do.
Why is it so hard to really know? Heh, Sammy Jo, you just broke up with Steven.
Maybe you're rushing into a relationship too soon.
No, it's over with Steven.
And I know this isn't a rebound.
I see.
You're not really convinced of that, are you? Sammy Jo, if you love Jeff, then be with him.
But you should know there are going to be some problems.
Why? Is it gonna be uncomfortable on the holidays when the whole family's here at the house? Yes.
I think it could be very uncomfortable.
Especially for Blake.
I don't think he's gonna find this easy to take.
Mainly because of Fallon, I know.
But I also know that Fallon and Jeff are divorced.
I don't think he's ever given up hope that they'll get back together again.
Denver's childhood sweethearts.
Well, that particular fairy tale is over.
I know that.
But why don't you give your relationship with Jeff some time? The problems aren't going to go away.
And what about the children? And Fallon? You and Jeff can't separate yourselves from that part of your lives.
And Blake will be angry if I separate Jeff from Fallon.
Sammy Jo, Fallon will always be a reality in both of your lives.
What do I do? I don't know.
I guess you do whatever feels right to you.
Aunt Krystle.
Aunt Krystle, is something wrong? Oh.
No, it's just a headache.
I'm fine.
Thank you.
I'm sorry that my lunch ran longer than expected.
I'll just have to reschedule the meeting.
Yes? All right.
Thanks.
I'll get back to you.
Bye.
Come in.
What the hell do you want? I've come to apologise.
I'd like you to forgive me.
Oh, I suppose you didn't mean to hurt me.
No, Alexis, I didn't mean to hurt you.
I know I betrayed you with Sean.
And I'll have to live with that for the rest of my life.
You certainly will.
- Now, I'm busy.
Would you leave? - Can you just give me a minute - to beg you for? - Beg? For what? For another chance.
You gave me a wonderful opportunity at Colbyco and I wanna start all over again.
I was good for the company once, and I would do it again if you just gave me another chance.
I'm sorry, Leslie.
But I'm afraid there's no room at Colbyco for somebody with your, well, particular skills.
listing all of your special talents, starting with, um, company tramp.
Or should that be company slut? Which do you prefer? I know you don't wanna hear this, but I was taken in by Sean.
Mm.
Weren't we all? Then you understand.
Look, I don't have any money and I need a job.
I don't care what you need, Leslie.
You're just a whore.
Ah, that's the word I was looking for.
Company whore.
- Oh, Alexis.
- Hon, don't give me those tears.
It's just another one of your great performances, isn't it? No, you have to believe me.
I don't have to do anything, Leslie.
And I just want you to get out of my house right now.
Go! I didn't expect you'd take it this way.
How did you expect me to take it? Yeah, I guess you're right.
We do love each other.
- Why hasn't Sammy Jo said yes? - She will.
Don't you see what you're doing, Jeff? I know exactly what I'm doing.
It's a big mistake.
Let's just drop it.
This is none of your business.
This family is my business.
The ink isn't even dry on your divorce papers.
Don't you have any concern about how Fallon might feel? This has nothing to do with family or Fallon.
This has to do with you.
- What are you talking about? - You can't control Sammy Jo.
- I'm not trying to, Jeff.
- Oh, come on, Steven, face it.
For the past year, you've had her under your brand of protective custody and it's smothering her.
I'm sorry.
What are we doing anyway? We've known each other a long time, we've been friends and buddies and we're standing here yelling at each other, looking like a couple of jerks.
Maybe the problem is that we both care about Fallon and Sammy Jo too much.
Steven, you tell me.
If you feel you're the right one for Sammy Jo, the best thing for her, I'll back away.
I really mean that.
Election results are coming in from all precincts now.
Blake Carrington appears to have a commanding lead in the urban precincts reporting so far.
- Exjt polls - Carrington is doing well.
James Rayford - Very, very well.
Rayford and I aren't doing badly either.
Yes, but it appears that Carrington is the Russ, appearances, as you know, can be deceptive.
The first thing you learn in politics is to heed the warning posts.
Alexis, why don't we get down to your campaign headquarters? I'll write up an appropriate concession speech just in case you need it.
Oh, no, Russ.
I have never conceded defeat in my life.
Not to Blake Carrington, and I'm certainly not gonna start now.
Adam? Krystle told me that you were coming down here tonight.
Why? What are you doing here? It's election night.
You're my son, aren't you? There's nothing more important than that.
Then you'll appreciate why I'm here.
It's about my son.
The judge hasn't let anyone see him before he renders his decision.
I wanna make him understand what that child means to me.
Adam.
Son, I know what you're going through.
But this kind of behaviour is not gonna help your case.
The judge is just gonna think it's another emotional outburst.
Now, you have got to get a hold of yourself.
Did you get hold of yourself when I was taken from you and Mother? Actually, no.
No, I didn't.
I went a little crazy.
We both did.
More than a little, really.
But it didn't help then.
It's not gonna help now.
I can't just stand around waiting for my world to cave in.
- What do I do? - Let the court make the decision.
And then you stand by it, whatever it is.
And then I'll stand by you.
Okay.
Come on.
As you can see behind me, the mood here at Carrington headquarters is borderline celebration.
They know their candidate is leading by a good margin and they can almost taste victory.
Maybe we should get down there.
Oh, take it easy, Bill.
We're doing fine, but it's still not over yet.
A lot of districts to be heard from.
Well, I wonder what Alexis will say in her concession speech.
If she makes one.
You know Alexis.
I hope you haven't come to say, "I told you so.
" No, I've come to say I'm sorry.
Hey, it was a tight race.
You almost pulled it off.
I don't like to deal in almosts, Dex.
For what it's worth, I think you gave them a hell of a run for their money and I'm proud of you.
You really mean that, don't you? Sure, I mean it.
Now, just what is going on behind those twinkling dark eyes of yours? Just remembering.
Be careful.
Memories can tend to forget the bad times.
I don't think that's possible with us.
But for every bad moment that we had, I think there were at least two good ones.
Hmm.
Not great ones? You took the words right out of my mouth.
Well, heh, aren't you just full of surprises, Mr.
Dexter.
In fact, I have another surprise that I have to do.
Maybe you'd like to join me? And that is? Well, ridiculous as this may sound, the voters of this great state are intending to put Blake Carrington in the governor's mansion.
And since I'm such a good sport, I thought I might just go over there and give them my congratulations.
Hmm.
Now? Well, not right now.
Dear Dad, I've made some decisions about my life.
Things are becoming more and more clear, and Steven, what are you doing? Nothing much.
Well, you're missing all the fun.
Daddy's almost governor.
Is something wrong? No.
Not really.
- Uh-oh.
- What? I recognise that tone of voice.
It means there is definitely something wrong.
What is it? You're gonna hear sooner or later.
I might as well be the one to tell you.
In fact, I'd rather you hear it from me.
Go on.
Jeff proposed to Sammy Jo.
I see.
Well, I wish him luck.
I hope he's happy.
I guess that takes care of both our lives.
Just like that? Things happen in life just like that, don't they? You're feeling fine and then all of a sudden, you get a headache.
Or the sun is shining and then it's raining.
Come on, Fallon, what are you really feeling? What kind of question is that supposed to be? It's just an open question.
Except the matter is closed, isn't it? Sammy Jo is gonna marry Jeff, and No.
She hasn't given him an answer yet.
Well, whatever.
I don't wanna talk about it anymore.
You told me, I heard.
Why are you making such a big deal about it? You okay? I don't know.
Tell me what you're thinking.
Come on, just let it out.
I'm thinking I guess I always knew Jeff would end up with somebody else.
I just didn't think it would be so soon.
Adam? Father, I must be the only person who hasn't congratulated you yet.
Well, you've got a lot on your mind.
If I didn't say it before, thank you for those words of encouragement outside the courthouse.
That's not necessary, really.
All I want is for you and Dana to be happy.
By the way, where is she? She's not feeling very well.
Whatever it is, I think I'm coming down with it too.
Sooner I get to bed, the better.
Good night.
Blake.
Call them premature, but we have gotten telegrams from the governors of 14 states saying, in essence: "Congratulations and welcome aboard!" That's fine, but a little optimistic, isn't it? Only 40 percent of the votes have been counted.
Let's see what the networks are saying.
Blake.
- Ah! - Congratulations, Blake.
- Congratulations, Blake.
- Thank you.
Thank you, Dex.
Well, it turned out to be a very tight race after all.
You put up a hell of a fight, Alexis.
Yes.
I did, didn't I? Want you to know how much I appreciate your coming here to concede.
Well, thank you, Blake.
But just remember, you're not going to be elected forever.
And possibly, in four years, I might give you a run for your money.
Now we take you back - Congratulations.
Blake, listen to this.
I repeat, bringing you up to date from Blake Carrington's headquarters.
In the last hour, Carrington's lead has been cut almost in half.
Wjth the ballots from the rural areas still to be counted, jt's now become a three-way race between Carrington, Rayford and Mrs.
Colby.
It appears our projection of victory for the Carrington campaign may have been premature.
Well, it just may be.
What is that quaint old American saying? "It ain't over until it's over"? Good night, everybody.
Dex.
Good night.
Nurse - Hello, Mrs.
Atkinson, Mr.
Atkinson.
- Nurse.
Hello.
We thought we might drop in on the baby for a minute.
Oh, well, visiting hours are long over, and Oh, excuse me.
I'll be right there.
I must take care of this.
I'll be right back.
Adam, I wondered whether you need Dr.
Davey - Nurse, we know it's late - I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
- And it's after visiting hours - Jesse, she's right.
It is after visiting hours.
We're sorry.
We don't wanna get you into trouble.
I suppose it would be all right.
- Oh, you're beautiful.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Come on.
- Ha-ha-ha.
Dr.
Brady, call nurse service.
He's such a good baby.
He was almost asleep before he finished his last bottle.
What's this? Where is he? Where's my baby? What's going on here, nurse? I'm not sure.
Well, I gave him his last feeding - just half an hour ago.
- Where is he? Where's my baby? - Well, he's not here.
- Where is he? Where is my baby? - Where the hell's the baby? - Do something! Do something! What's going on? What could they have done with him? How could this happen? - That's all.
Just a mistake.
- Oh, God.
Karen? Karen.
Oh, God! How could this be? Adam couldn't take my baby!
