Dynasty s08e22 Episode Script

You're just a whore.
A company whore.
I'm firing you, Leslie.
And 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.
Last time on Dynasty: Aunt Krystle, is something wrong? Oh, no, just a headache.
I'm fine.
Go ahead.
I'm listening.
I want you to marry me.
I love you and I want you to be my wife.
I don't know what to say.
Say yes.
Jeff proposed to Sammy Jo.
I guess I always knew Jeff would end up with somebody else.
I just didn't think it would be so soon.
For every bad moment that we had, I think there were at least two good ones.
Not great ones? You took the words right out of my mouth.
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.
- 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? We could have had it all.
As much as I have loved you, that's how much I hate you right now.
Goodbye.
Son, I know what you're going through.
The judge is just going to think it's another emotional outburst.
Now, you have got to get a hold of yourself.
Where is he? - Where is my baby? Do something.
- Where the hell? My God.
How can this be? Adam couldn't take my baby! Right.
Well, keep us informed.
Goodbye.
That was Dalton from the Chronicle.
All bets are off about who's gonna come out on top.
Rayford's on a roll, especially in the western counties.
Are you telling me he might be pulling ahead? They can't project who's going to win - at this time.
- Mm.
Krystle? Darling? Krystle? Oh, yeah? Are you all right? Oh, it's just a headache.
Thank you.
Hey, hey now.
Before you come in here, I want an answer.
- Jeff.
- Oh come on, Sammy Jo.
I'm one of the most cautious people you know.
But for once, I'm gonna kick caution in the butt and send it flying.
Now, come on.
Let's grab this moment.
Let's get married.
Say you'll marry me.
Look, this is a big step for both of us.
Just give me a little more time, please? Mr.
Carrington, there's an urgent call for you.
Oh, thank you, Jeannette.
Yes.
Are you sure? When did this happen? What is it? What's the matter? I see.
No, I'II, uh I'll be right there.
- Where's Adam? Does anyone know? - No, why? That was the hospital.
His son is missing.
My God.
Forgive me, folks, but I've got to give this to you the best way I know how: Straight.
Every corner of the hospital's been searched.
The baby's been abducted.
That's for certain now.
Yes, but there's no ransom phone call.
There's been no ransom note.
Oh, there will be.
Mr.
Carrington, your grandson is, to be practical, a very valuable commodity.
Now, we've notified the FBI.
A very valuable commodity because his father is Adam Carrington, right? - That's right - Carrington cannot be found.
Even his father doesn't know.
- If you're implying that - No, I'm not implying, I'm saying it.
Mr.
Atkinson, do me a favour and keep your theories to yourself.
Mr.
Carrington, we're gonna notify the press, the TV No, no, no, lieutenant.
Wait.
No.
I don't want whoever kidnapped the baby to panic - and then maybe try to hurt him.
- Karen.
It's not true, is it? Yeah, it's true, you took our baby.
Atkinson, I've had enough out of you! Now, stop it.
- Come on.
Come on.
Mr.
Carrington, just where have you been the past couple of hours? I couldn't sleep.
I was out driving around.
He's lying.
When I got to the house, they told me the baby was missing.
He's lying, I tell you.
Don't believe him.
Shh, calm down, calm down, calm down.
It's all right, Leslie.
I'm alive, very much alive.
- What do you want? - There's nothing to be afraid of.
I'm inviting you to help me now and to help yourself.
You interested? Help myself to what? A lot of money, for one thing.
Carrington and Colby money.
- What are you talking about? - Oh, it's a little business proposition.
- I don't know - No, no, no.
We've been known to work well together, Leslie.
What's the matter? Did Alexis fire you? Hmm? Yes.
So you have no job and no money, hmm? Good.
Then you will join me.
What the hell? Why should I be the only poor Carrington? - Adam - If it's about Atkinson, - I've cooled down.
- No, no, no.
It's not that.
You didn't say a word all the way home.
Now, I realise how difficult it is for you to open up to me at times.
But I wanna tell you that if you want to talk to me about anything I'd be happy to listen both as a father and as a friend.
I appreciate that, Father.
You know, son, there are times when we do things in our lives out of love.
- But - What are you driving at? You told me earlier this evening you weren't well, you were gonna go to your room.
But when I went to look for you, you weren't there.
Now, what I'd like to know is where you went.
God help me, I went to the hospital.
- You what? - But I didn't go up.
I wanted to be near my son, but somehow, I just couldn't go up there.
So I stood on the corner.
And looked up at the third floor where he's sleeping.
I've done that a lot since the hearing began.
I wanted him to know, somehow, that I was near, that I'd always be there for him.
And that's the truth, Father.
I'm glad you told me.
And we will find your son, Adam.
I know we will.
Sean.
Oh, it's a baby.
Now, see, that's not just a baby.
That's Adam Carrington's baby.
Blake and Alexis' precious little grandson.
Our future.
What do you think? I think you're right.
He's our future.
I see.
Right.
No, he's here with me right now.
I'll tell him.
Okay.
That was Agent Burell, the FBI.
He's on his way over here.
Now, they're convinced after what you told me that your son had absolutely nothing to do with this.
Good.
Good.
Now, as far as progress goes, they're running just as dry as we are.
I'm sorry.
Lieutenant, it's been 12 hours now.
We're all trying our damndest.
Yes, I know that.
I'm sure of it.
I know how you feel, Mr.
Carrington.
Sometimes the newspapers and TV can be our best allies in cases like this.
Somebody out there might know something that could help us.
And all we need is that one vital clue.
All right.
Do it.
Okay, here we go.
I never knew you were such a good cook.
Heh.
You never asked.
I guess I was too busy whispering other things into your ear, - which you didn't seem to mind.
- Heh.
Well, I guess I'm just your basic sensual type.
So sue me.
We share an obsession.
Not only with sex, but with money as well, don't we, Leslie? And why not? Right? We've always been the have-nots.
You the poor relation, me the butler's son.
That kid, he's gonna change all that.
Oh, he's worth millions to the two of us.
Millions.
Are you happy I invited you along? I'm not unhappy.
Besides, a baby needs a woman around.
Sean, when we get the money and return the baby? Return the baby? Are you serious? - Don't you intend to give him back? - Well, why should I? You don't wanna go through with this? No.
I just don't want to see the baby hurt.
No, the baby won't be hurt.
But the Carringtons will be.
See, I wanna see them tormented.
I'm gonna make them suffer for the rest of their miserable lives.
Because they'll never know if that kid is alive or dead.
Come on.
All right, Sean, I have to clear the table.
Cleared.
If all goes well, we can trace most calls within a few minutes.
We take you to our affiliate station Adam, come here.
- for an update.
This is the first announcement.
There'll be lots more tonight, tomorrow.
This photo of the baby was taken at the hospital shortly after his birth.
For anyone wjth information about the kidnapping, the number to call js 555- 7216.
To repeat the number; 555- 7216.
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
- Hello? - Steven? It's Leslie.
- I can't talk to you rjght now.
- You've got to.
Don't have much time.
- Adam's son is missing and we - I know.
I'm with him.
- What? - I'm with the baby.
- Is this some kind of bad joke? - No, I swear it.
- Where are you? - In a cabin.
- Where? - I don't know.
We drove in the middle of the night.
- who's we? - Sean and I.
- Sean? - He's not dead, Steven.
Listen.
We're 30 miles outside of the city in some mountain area somewhere Leslie, answer me.
Leslie! Leslie, for the love of God, answer me, please! I'm sorry, Mr.
Carrington.
They hung up.
- Did you get a trace? - No.
No, not yet.
You shouldn't have done that.
You should never have touched that phone.
I'm sorry.
I just got scared suddenly.
No, no, no, it wasn't suddenly at all.
No, no, you planned this all along.
You think I didn't know that? I'm not stupid, Leslie.
Oh, no.
I'm far from being stupid.
My God, there's a baby's life at stake.
- Unh! - Aah! Aah! L Now, I told you he'll live.
Not with the Carringtons.
Come on, now, you know what kind of people they are, - don't you? - Aah! Agh! - Don't you? - Yes.
No, no, no, see No, I don't believe you.
I'm not so sure.
You're still one of them, aren't you, Leslie? Aren't you? It doesn't matter, does it? It doesn't matter how they push you around.
Doesn't matter how they make you grovel at their feet.
It doesn't even matter what they did to your father, does it? Does it? - But it matters tonight.
- Aah! Unh.
You know what they did to my father.
The way Carrington demeaned him.
The butler, allowed to play billiards with his master, but always, he's always reminded of his place.
I know, Sean.
I know.
I wanna believe you, Leslie.
I really do.
I wanna believe you.
But I'm not so sure now.
- I can never trust you again.
- Unh! - You called? - Please, sit down.
Would you like some coffee or something to drink? I'd like to know why you called.
I have to talk to you.
To tell me Jeff proposed to you? This is old news.
Steven already told me.
Fallon, this is very important to me.
Oh, I'm sure it is.
But why do you wanna talk to me? I wanna talk to you about us.
You don't like me and I don't like you.
I wouldn't be so dumb to suggest we'd ever become friends.
But we can't be enemies.
We're off to a pretty good start.
- You're not making this easy for me.
- I'm not trying to.
Okay.
Jeff and I have been seeing each other and you found out about it.
- But I haven't said I'll marry him.
- Oh, but you will.
I have faith in you.
I mean, you wanted to be a Carrington, so you married Steven.
Now you wanna be a Colby, so it's Jeff's turn.
No, I don't think you've changed much over the years, Sammy Jo.
I don't care what you think.
But I do care that there are children involved: Yours and mine.
- And if I do marry Jeff - lf? Why so tentative? Not sure you love him? Not sure he loves you? Not sure there's enough money involved? You're way off the mark, Fallon.
I wonder, who do you hate more? Me because I got him? Or yourself because you threw him away? Now, the phone call came from this area.
Come in.
Adam, Steven Carrington, Agent Anthony Burell, FBI.
- Mr.
Burell.
How do you do? - Gentlemen.
We've determined from the first trace that the cabin is located somewhere in here in the foothills, west of the Denver-Harmon Springs area.
Can't you be more specific? Well, that phone call was from a rural area.
Woman didn't stay on the line, it's gonna take more time.
- How much more time, lieutenant? - I wish I knew.
- Well, that's where I'm heading.
- Mr.
Carrington, until we have information, heading into that area's not gonna do you good.
We have an APB out.
Sheriffs' cars all over the area.
We'll find your baby.
You don't understand.
That's my son out there.
I'm going with you, Adam.
Look, we have a phone in the car.
This is the number.
Please call the second you hear anything.
No phone calls from the police.
Still no word from Adam or Steven.
I just don't believe that phone call from Leslie.
Don't you think it's just a little too convenient that she's with the baby right now? Not to mention Sean.
No, I don't think she'd do anything to us out of spite.
Not to either one of us.
I wish I could share your generosity of spirit, Blake.
Blake, I, um Hello, Alexis, I didn't know you were here.
Hello, Jeff.
Bill Cochran just called.
Uh It's going to break in ten minutes but he wanted you to hear it first.
- Hear what? - Well, it's official.
Jim Rayford has won the governorship.
I'm sorry.
You both put up a heck of a fight.
Thanks, Jeff.
We tried.
Also said that he feels that some of the returns, especially in the southwest, are suspicious, so I'm calling for a recount.
All right, but I can't deal with that now.
Excuse me.
Some of the returns seem suspicious? What did he mean by that? You don't really care about that.
Not right now, do you? No, not really.
All I care about is finding Adam's son.
All right.
I'll talk to you later.
How's Daddy taking the news about the election? Oh, I don't think he's had time to deal with that.
All he's concerned about right now is the baby.
- Would you like some tea? - Yes, please.
That was Sammy Jo on the phone just now.
She said she'd talked with you about Jeff.
You could say that.
Thank you.
She was hurt.
Poor thing.
I guess I should have been more gentle with her.
She is trying to steal my husband and I'm not giving her any help at all.
Your ex-husband.
Like the rest of us, she probably thought that, uh, Jeff was out of your life.
Excuse me, Krystle.
I know she's your niece, but I really don't care what she thought.
Fallon, are you sure you're being fair? Jeff didn't leave by himself.
You let him go.
You're the one who wanted the divorce.
You announced it to everyone.
What happened between me and Jeff had nothing to do with Sammy Jo.
She had no right to butt into our lives.
Oh, let me ask you something.
Are you saying that you've made a mistake? That you want Jeff back? Want him back? Heh.
Then maybe it's something else.
Maybe you don't want him back.
You don't want anyone else to have him either.
Four gas stations, three drive-ins, and a market.
And nobody has seen Rowan? I don't believe this.
- Yes? - Lieutenant Benning.
It's the lieutenant.
We've completed the trace.
We know where they're holed up wjth your son.
- Where? - Cabin off Route 9, near Emery Road.
Now, it's the only cabin in a mile and a half radius.
That is great.
That is great.
Now, hold on and listen to me.
We've got men heading up there.
Now, don't go near that place until the backup arrives.
We're going there and we are going in.
Rowan? Rowan, we're coming in! Leslie.
My God.
Easy.
Easy.
Oh, God.
Leslie, are you all right? - Leslie, are you all right? - Unh, yeah.
Leslie, listen to me.
Where is my son? Sean.
What about Sean? He took the baby.
My car.
Where did he go? Why did this happen? I don't know.
- Steven, look after her.
- I will.
- Steven, go ahead.
- Leslie, are you sure? I'm okay.
Okay.
I'm gonna call somebody.
I'll get help here, right away.
Adam, wait up.
Shut up, damn it.
Shut up.
Adam, over there.
Leslie's car.
Steven, look up there.
Rowan! I want my son! Adam, the baby's in the canoe.
There.
The baby.
Yes.
Oh, God.
Okay, I've got you.
- He's freezing.
- I got you.
I got you.
Thank you.
Help.
He's freezing.
- Here.
Please, take that.
Rowan took off in my car.
It's an '88 BMW Sedan.
Grey.
Your son looks fine.
To make sure, let's get him to a hospital now.
- Thank you.
- I'll call in an APB.
- Steven, thank you.
- I'm just glad I was here.
So am I.
And so is he.
You know, I never thought I needed you.
I always thought of us as strangers.
Well, we're more alike than you realise, Adam.
You've always struggled to belong, and in my own way so have I.
Well, things will be different now.
What I'm trying to say is when I get custody of my son tomorrow at the hearing, I want you to be his godfather.
That's an honour.
Heh.
But I think it should go to Dad.
Steven, this is my son, and I want you to be his godfather.
You know what I admire about you, Adam? You're a fighter.
You fight for your son.
You fight for your position in this family.
It's important to know what you really want.
I envy you for that.
Are you talking about me or about you? Maybe about both of us, Adam.
Maybe about both of us.
Darling, it's very late.
I couldn't sleep.
Sitting here thinking about how lucky we are to get the baby back again.
Oh, I'm sorry about the election.
Oh, that.
Yes.
That's over.
Can't dwell on that.
But there were so many things you were going to do.
You had so many dreams - for so many people.
- Uh-huh.
Well, I've still got my dreams.
And I've got you.
That's all that really matters.
What is it, darling? Heh, I just got dizzy for a minute.
I just hope these headaches go away soon.
- Hi.
- What are you doing here? I just dropped by to see how your bachelor pad is coming along.
You don't mind, do you? - These are very nice.
- Fallon.
Oh, and this is nice.
Oh.
The next Mrs.
Colby's taste, no doubt.
Okay, what do you want? I don't know.
Maybe I just wanted to see what kind of man you've turned into.
I mean, the ink on our divorce papers is hardly dry and you're already dragging out your next wife.
She has a name, you know.
- By the way, she mentioned to me - How hurt she was? - Yes, that's right.
- Oh, dear.
I might just have to sit down and write a letter to the poor girl.
Apologising for my insensitivity.
- Maybe you should.
- Maybe you should apologise to me.
- For what? - For always trying to control me, - even before I had the children.
- Control? What are you talking about? - You took a job.
- But you never tolerated my working.
Just like you never tolerated what happened to me.
We're not going to have this UFO discussion again, are we? Who will ever forget how you helped me through that one? I needed you to believe in me.
But where were you? Not on my side.
- Like your daddy would have been.
- What? All I've ever been to you is a substitute for your father.
I'm sorry.
Hello, Jeff.
Sammy Jo.
I just wanted to say that I love you.
And I need you.
And I will marry you.
I will.
So I lost the election, Adam.
Now, I just have to get on with my life.
What is most important is that I'm really proud of you and Steven for saving the baby.
Will I see you in court today? I wouldn't mjss jt for the world.
And now I know that you're gonna get custody of that child.
Well, thanks for the encouragement.
Mother, about Steven, have you any idea what might be bothering him? No, I haven't.
Why? Well, he seemed I don't know, something seems to be on his mind.
Steven, I wanted to thank you for helping Adam yesterday.
- I was there, that's all.
- No, no, no.
When something threatened the family, you stood by each other.
You were Carringtons together.
Adam will never forget that, I'm sure.
None of us will.
I was glad I could help him.
Dad, I want you I wanna ask you a favour.
I'd appreciate it if you'd look after Adam.
Give him a lot of support when he needs it.
Well, I've been trying to do that.
I hope I haven't failed.
No, of course, you haven't.
But, I mean, in the future.
Oh, all right.
I mean, Adam, Adam's smart.
He's very smart.
He has a lot of potential.
I just I feel that none of us have really given him a chance to show it.
I know that I haven't.
I think he could run Denver-Carrington for you someday.
Run it very well.
Steven, is there something else that you're trying to tell me? No.
It's just It's been such an unusual couple of days and I've just been thinking about how lucky Adam and I both are to have you as our father.
Well, thank you.
That's nice to hear.
I don't say it often enough.
I love you very much, Dad.
And I love you, son.
You know that.
Well, I, uh I really must go.
Right.
Yeah.
I'll see you later.
Goodbye, Dad.
That's for Kirby.
Sean, l You what? You've missed me? Is that what you're trying to tell me, Alexis? Sean.
Sean, the police are looking for you.
This is the first place they'll come to.
That's for my father.
Get out.
I haven't finished with you.
Get out.
- Move it.
- Sean.
- Sean.
- Move it.
Father.
- Morning, Adam.
- Thank you for coming.
- Where's Krystle? - She wasn't feeling well.
I made her stay home.
You're really worried about her, aren't you? It's not serious? Probably not.
Excuse me.
Mr.
Carrington, Judge Langdon would like to see you in his chambers.
Thank you.
- Wonder what that could be about.
- Good news, I hope.
- I'll be waiting for you out here.
- Thank you.
Blake, have you seen Alexis? - I was supposed to meet her.
- No, I haven't.
By the way, you heard anything about Rowan? Rowan? No, why? Mean to say you didn't know? He was the one that kidnapped Adam's son.
Wha? Ugh.
I hadn't heard a thing.
Where is he now? I don't know.
The police are looking for him.
Oh, damn it.
Blake, I'll see you.
Adam, I'm so grateful.
What you did, rescuing the baby.
I'm just sorry that a vicious vendetta against my family put him in so much danger.
Well, if the judge gives the baby to us, he's not gonna be the target for anybody's revenge.
Oh, please.
Mr.
Carrington, where's Mrs.
Carrington? I'm sorry, Your Honour, she couldn't make it.
I see.
I'll make this official during the hearing in half an hour, but for now, we've all been through a very complicated case.
And normally, I wouldn't have called the three of you in here.
But because I want to prevent any further outburst in the hearing room, I've decided to inform you in advance.
I'm basing my decision on the fact that I feel that the child should be with his natural mother.
I'm going to award custody to you, Mrs.
Atkinson.
- Jesse.
Ha, ha.
- Hey.
No.
No, you're not gonna get my son.
May I speak to the doctor, please? Blake Carrington from Denver, Colorado.
Yes, I believe he'd know the name.
He examined my wife Krystle several years ago.
Well, if you'll just tell it to him, I'm sure he'll speak to me.
Yes.
- Come on.
Open it.
- I am opening it.
Faster, Alexis.
Now, I want all your jewellery.
All of it.
Come on.
And the money.
And the money.
Come on.
- You got lots of cash in there.
- All right.
Alexis! Alexis! - Dex, help! Dex, he's got a gun! Dex! My God.
Krystle.
My Lord, Krystle.
Krystle.
Jeannette! Jeannette, come in here! What's happened here? What's happened here? Where's my wife? - She left a little while ago.
- Left to go where? Well, she didn't say.
All right, Jeannette, just straighten things up.
And don't say a word about this to anyone, do you understand? Not to anyone.
Of course, Mr.
Carrington.
My God, Krystle.
I thought we had more time.
