Dynasty s09e01 Episode Script

I want my son! Last time on Dynasty: Hello, Jeff.
Sammy Jo.
I just wanted to say that I love you.
And I need you.
And I will marry you.
Goodbye, Dad.
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.
No.
No, you're not gonna get my son.
- What is it, darling? - I just got dizzy for a minute.
Heh.
I just hope these headaches go away soon.
My God, Krystle.
I thought we had more time.
- That's for Kirby.
- The police are looking for you.
This is the first place they'll come to.
Aah! DEX.
Help! Aah! Dex.
Alexis.
- Is he dead? - Yeah.
He's dead.
Easy.
Easy.
It's all right.
Come on, come on, come on.
I'll call the police.
Easy, easy.
Krystle.
Krystle.
Jeanette.
Jeanette, come in here.
What's happened here? - What's happened? Where's my wife? - Well, she left a little while ago.
- Left? To go where? - Well, she didn't say.
Did you hear what I said? What? I said yes.
Yes? Yes, I will marry you.
Marry me.
We do belong together.
I was afraid of it at first but you were right.
Oh, Sammy Jo, that's just great.
I don't know what to say.
Look at these.
- What? - For our honeymoon.
We can go to Mykonos or Manzanillo - We could cruise the Mediterranean.
- Anywhere you wanna go.
Make love under the stars which is something we could start practicing right now.
- Sammy Jo, wait a minute.
- Don't tell me you have a headache.
That's right.
No, actually, you caught me off guard, I guess.
I hope so.
How many women come to your house at the crack of dawn with a bottle of champagne and actually not much more? Sammy Jo, I don't know how to say this.
I wasn't expecting a speech.
What's the matter? I come here to toast our engagement - What was that? - What? That noise from your bedroom.
I didn't hear anything.
I'll tell you what.
Why don't we do this right? Why don't we go out and celebrate? You wait here.
I'll go get dressed.
- Don't act like you didn't hear that.
- Oh, that? That was just a thing.
- A thing? - Yeah.
A loose window thing.
- Somebody could break in.
- Why would somebody do that? I don't know but I am curious.
- You may not be, but I am.
- Wait a minute.
Please.
- I know I heard something.
- There's no need 10 You see? Nobody's here.
Oh.
What did I tell you? I'm having so many problems with these windows.
I just Well, enough about this window stuff, huh? Let's go pop that champagne and show me those brochures.
- This is a celebration, right? - Oh, yes.
Krystle? Krystle.
Kristina.
What is it? What's the matter? - What's going on here? - Danny jumped out of the closet - and scared Kristina.
- It was your idea.
- Was not.
- All right, boys, all right.
Darling, I'm looking for your mommy.
- She's playing a game with us.
- Yeah, Grandpa.
She was pretending she was a witch or something.
She wasn't pretending.
She had this funny look on her face like she was crazy.
- Do you know where she went? - No.
She said she was going someplace where nobody could find her.
Not even me.
Oh, darling.
No.
Your mommy was just playing a game with you.
She loves you very, very much.
Now, look, can you wait here and play? Play quietly, huh? I've gotta go out for a while.
Leave her alone.
Morning.
Hmm.
Now, let's start all over again.
- What do you mean? - Ask me to marry you.
You wanted to.
- You know I wanna marry you.
- Then ask me.
Sammy Jo, will you marry me? - No, I don't think so.
- Ha-ha-ha.
Are you expecting someone? No.
- Fallon.
- I'm sorry I'm late, Jeff.
The traffic was unbelievable.
Whoops.
I was in such a rush, I barely had time to dress.
Hi.
Fallon, I really don't think this is the time.
What do you mean? You asked me to come over.
It was today, wasn't it? No, I really think you should go.
Oh, champagne.
Have I interrupted a celebration or does this go on every morning? Jeff and I are going to be married.
Congratulations.
Out of one and into another.
Marriage, of course.
Sammy Jo, welcome to what I'm sure is going to be a long line of Mrs.
Colbys.
For a woman who's just lost her husband, I'm glad you're taking it so well.
Well, Jeff and I will always be close.
Fallon, you're really pushing it.
You two must have so many decisions to make.
Invitations, flowers, wedding gown.
You know, Sammy Jo, you could borrow my old one, with a few alterations.
Heh.
That's very sweet of you, Fallon, but I've got Jeff.
And that's all I'll need from you.
Oh, really? Well, I guess there's nothing more for me to say.
Goodbye would be nice.
Well, as they say, here today, here tomorrow.
Sam, have you seen Mrs.
Carrington? Yes, sir, about five minutes ago.
She took off in her Rolls-Royce.
Thank you.
What was I supposed to do? She just showed up.
- Shoot her.
Push her out the window.
- Fallon likes to play games.
She likes to play them here.
Let's not let this ruin the rest of the day, huh? - Where are you going? - Out of here.
Let's at least have some champagne.
Champagne? Champagne.
You want champagne? I'll give you champagne.
How's that for champagne? Krystle.
- What the hell are you trying to do? - Move the truck.
- I'm trying to catch that car.
- Are you crazy? You almost slammed into me.
Move the damn truck.
I'll just be a little while longer, sir.
Jeanette, forget that for now.
Please, sit down for a minute.
I want you to think back.
Has anything like this happened before? Uh Not exactly.
What do you mean, "not exactly"? About a month ago when you were away on the campaign it was in the middle of the night, and I heard this noise.
So I went to the window and looked out.
There was Mrs.
Carrington.
All she had on, sir, was this thin little nightgown.
I called out to her, but she just kept on walking.
I followed her outside and she turned and I can't describe the look in her eyes.
I ran and I got Gerard.
I didn't know what else to do.
But when we got back outside, she was gone.
Yes.
Yes, go on.
Well, we found her a little while later by the reflection pond.
She was just standing there.
We got her inside, sir.
But the next morning when I asked her what had happened What did she say? Well, she looked at me like I was crazy.
She said she hadn't left the house.
- Well, why wasn't I told about this? - Uh - Was that the only time? - I don't know.
These past few years, she hasn't been herself.
Yes, yes, I know.
Look, Jeanette, I don't want anyone to know about this.
Oh, of course, sir.
I'm expecting a phone call from a Dr.
Charles Hampton in Los Angeles.
I want the call put through to me, wherever I am.
- In the car, anywhere.
- Yes, sir.
Thank you very much.
Mr.
Carrington? Yes? You know we love her very much.
Thank you, Jeanette.
- Calm down.
- I can't calm down.
I won't.
Mrs.
Colby, I know this has been rough, but I've got a dead man here.
Oh, you've got a dead man.
I've got a dead husband who breaks into my bathroom and tries to kill me.
And would have succeeded if he hadn't intervened.
Look, would you please take these men and get out of my apartment? You're not making this any easier.
I'm sorry, officer, But I get upset when somebody bursts into my bathroom and tries to kill me.
And if you want the truth, I'm glad that Sean Rowan is dead.
L just wish I'd killed him myself.
It's true.
Look, we have covered this three times.
Rowan was shooting at Mrs.
Colby.
He forced her to open her safe.
I broke in, he started shooting at me, we struggled, the gun went off.
There were no other witnesses.
I was in my bathroom.
How many witnesses could there be? You know, we could do this downtown.
Are you pressing charges? No.
Then why don't we wrap this up? You've got our statement, she's been through enough.
I'm taking her out of here.
All right, just don't disappear.
Oh, I don't think Alexis Colby can disappear.
Get some clothes.
We're gonna take a trip.
Dex, how can we go away? Not with all this going on.
I don't want you to argue with me.
Get dressed.
We'll go to L.
A.
for a few days.
Help you clear your mind.
Do you have any problem with that? No.
I guess not.
Just let me know where you'll be.
He really hated me, didn't he? He hated himself.
I must have misunderstood.
I thought Mrs.
Carrington's appointment was today.
My mistake.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Hello? Yes, yes, put him through, please.
Mr.
Carrington, this is Dr.
Aames.
I'm Dr.
Hampton's associate.
- You've been trying to reach him? - Yes, I have.
Well, he's at a conference in Chicago, and if it's important- Yes, it's very important.
It's about my wife.
He'll know why I'm calling.
I could put a call through to the conference headquarters.
Yes, please.
Tell him that my wife has experienced some of the symptoms that he warned me about and No, no, no, wait.
Tell him Tell him I think it has started and I don't know what to do.
I don't care what the judge said.
I'm not gonna let them take my son.
The appeal is already in motion.
We still have some legal options.
Yes, no thanks to your partner.
Listen, Adam, I reviewed the case.
Wolf did the best job he could under the circumstances.
And my supportive family.
My father was the only one who bothered to show up for hearing.
I'll bet that really impressed the judge.
You could have had family packed to the rafters.
- It wouldn't have made any difference.
- Jesse Atkinson.
He gave custody of my son to that Scotch, neat.
Plain soda.
He didn't grant custody to Atkinson.
He granted it to the child's mother.
Who signs a contract, takes my money, and then says: "Sorry, I've changed my mind.
" Much like my lovely wife.
Adam, you knew the risks of having a child with a surrogate.
That speech of Dana's.
Without her, I might have had a chance.
Without her, you have no chance at all.
Adam, listen to me.
You need her help.
Yes, I know.
To show stability and continuity.
Damn it, I belong to one of the oldest, most respected families in Colorado.
How much more stability do they want? We are talking about a father and a mother.
That means Dana.
It also means take it easy on the booze, okay? You listen to me, pal.
You look after the paperwork.
I'll look after myself.
And Dana.
Not a moment too soon.
Again.
Whoa! Be careful.
Another couple of inches, we would've been airborne again.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, to die in L.
A.
, huh? What a way to go.
Two good-looking corpses in a hunk of abstract art.
You wanna have some fun, huh? - Come on, let's go for it, huh? Go.
- Hey.
- What the hell are you doing? - We might as well go all the way! - Take your foot off the pedal! - Whoa, whoa! - Don't pull the punches, let's go! - Stop it.
- Stop it, you're gonna kill us! - Whoo! Stop.
Idiot.
Feeling sorry for ourselves? My company is in ruins.
I've been betrayed by everybody that I trusted.
My husband-Hah.
Husband, he tries to kill me, doesn't succeed and then comes back and tries again.
I think I have a right to feel sorry for myself.
- You picked him.
- Yes.
I give him carie blanche to do whatever he wanted.
I handed him on a plate everything I worked for.
God, what an idiot I am.
You won't get an argument from me there.
Oh, he was so believable, Dex.
He was He was so charming.
God knows I've seen that act played a thousand times.
I've even played it myself, and I still fell for it.
Yeah, you sure did.
- Thanks for your support.
- I was agreeing with you.
Yes.
Well, I don't need you, Dexier.
Why don't you go home? I don't need you and I don't need anybody.
Yes, you do.
You need someone to tell you when you screw up.
Oh, and I suppose you think you're just the man to do it, huh? I'm the only one who isn't afraid of you.
Oh, Dex.
Oh, Dex, I've been such a fool.
It's all right.
You'll be all right.
- Mr.
Carrington? - Yes? I heard you asking about your wife.
Well, I think I saw her just a few minutes ago.
- You did? Where? - Well, I think it was her.
- I saw her going down that way.
- Show me.
Well, I had to look twice.
I wondered what Mrs.
Carrington would be doing around here.
I mean, she hasn't been down in a long time.
You're sure that it was her? Well, I didn't actually talk to her but I try never to forget a pretty face.
And besides, we all appreciate what she's done for us down here at the rehab centre.
I mean, she Real charity, you know? I mean, some people give money, but she really put in her time.
- She really gave of herself.
- That corner or this or where? Well, I'm not quite sure.
She was coming down this way.
When did you see her? How long ago? Well, it was just a few minutes ago.
I don't There.
You see? Look.
Uh-oh.
Krystle! Krystle! Krystle.
Hey, what the hell is going on? I'm sorry.
I thought you were somebody else.
- And I think you're in trouble.
- Oh, come on, Jerry.
- I'm very sorry.
- Well, say, aren't you? What's his name? The guy who ran for governor.
- Yeah, that's right.
- Carrington.
Blake Carrington.
This is great.
Cindy, give me a piece of paper.
Wait a second, here's something.
Could you, you know, autograph it for me? Thanks.
That's great.
- Good luck, Blake.
- A guy like that don't need luck.
He's got it all.
Oh, my God, Mother, are you okay? Yeah, don't worry, darling.
I'm perfect.
I can be there in a couple of hours.
No, no, no.
Everything's under control.
Dex is with me.
Well, L.
B.
and Lauren send their love.
Don't you? Well, you send it right back to them with a big kiss from me.
You know, I talked to Adam and I'm a little worried about him.
But when you speak to Steven, tell him that I'm fine.
And you be good now.
Huh? Oh, well, that's not fun.
I'd rather be like my mother.
Heh.
Well, at least check them for weapons first.
Bye, darling.
You didn't have to dress for me.
But I did.
Oh.
Dex.
I think you look beautiful.
Got off the phone with Mother.
Do you realise? How about a hug for your old Uncle Adam? Oh, I think it's time for your bath, don't you? Carmela, will you take her upstairs? - I'll be right there.
- Where's the ice? Adam, Sean tried to kill Mother.
I know all about it.
Mother and I talked this afternoon.
- Well, you don't look very upset.
- Hah.
Mother's always in trouble.
Our mother can take care of herself.
Your compassion is overwhelming.
My God, Adam, she was almost killed.
But she wasn't.
Save your compassion for someone who needs it.
Like you, I suppose.
I lost the baby, you know.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
- I wanted to come.
- But you didn't.
Oh, my God, Adam, why do we always have to be at each other's throat? You know, you and I are a lot alike.
I can be as arrogant and selfish as you are.
Oh, I'll drink to that.
And I do care about you Surprise, surprise.
Right now, all you and I have is this family.
- We shouldn't forget that.
- Oh, yes, the family.
You sound like Dana.
You know what she did to me.
You really work hard at driving people away.
Dana never meant to hurt you.
If you don't stop blaming her, you'll lose her too.
I have no intention of losing Dana.
I need her, for the time being.
- What's that supposed to mean? - Adam.
Aww.
Now, isn't this just perfect? The star of our little family drama has arrived.
Missed you in court today, Dana.
- We need to talk.
- Mm-hm.
- Well, go on.
- No.
Not here.
We have no secrets in this family, do we, Fallon? You sure have a way with women.
No, no, no, stay.
This should be good for a few laughs.
Go on, Dana.
Tell me how sorry you are.
I'll see you upstairs.
Tell me how disappointed you are.
Tell me you love me! Well, you're right.
She has to stay now.
I mean, who could resist that kind of charm? You're damn right I'm serious about a recount.
Because I think Rayford is trying to steal this election.
Oh, come on.
Yeah, what you guys call political games, I think a jury might call fraud.
If we can prove it, I think your boss is going to find it a little difficult to govern the state of Colorado from a jail cell.
I think they're nervous.
All of a sudden, they want to put together a coalition.
The recount is already in motion.
I put a call in to the secretary of state.
Blake.
Oh, sorry.
What is it? Are you all right? Krystle is gone.
What do you mean she's gone? She left the house early this morning and I've been all over Denver looking for her.
I thought I spotted her car once, but it got away from me.
She's just disappeared.
Well, I don't understand.
Have you guys been having some problems? Well, maybe it's the campaign.
I've been away so much.
I I must find her.
- Is there something I can do to help? - Yes.
Yes.
Your friend down at police headquarters.
Call him and explain the situation to him.
Make sure that he knows that this is a private matter.
I don't want the whole police force involved.
Blake, please forgive me, but This isn't a marital problem, is it? I have told you all I can.
Now, just ask your friend to check the hospitals and the airport and to look for her car.
And not to let anyone know that she's missing.
Especially the family.
Please.
Please, make the call.
You're not really leaving.
I'm sorry about what happened downstairs.
I had too much to drink.
It won't happen again.
I'd like to believe that, Adam, for your sake.
Dana, please.
This doesn't have to be the end.
We had something wonderful.
Let's fight to get some of it back.
I've had enough fighting.
Dana, I've learned from my mistakes.
Give me the chance to prove it.
Dana, I need you.
I know.
To get your child back.
That's not the only reason.
Adam, it doesn't work between us anymore, okay? You can't say you never loved me.
Too much has happened.
It's time to let go.
- Please.
- Oh, Adam.
Please don't make this harder than it is.
I can't just let you walk out.
Please.
Oh, stop it, Adam.
You really hate me that much? I don't hate you.
I love you, but it isn't enough.
Oh, I love you too.
Oh.
We used to mean so much to each other.
What happened? I don't know.
Let me kiss you.
Adam, this doesn't change anything.
- I'm leaving I'm still Adam.
- Dana, Dana, Dana.
Oh, God, you are so Adam.
Goodbye, Adam.
Dana? Dana? What's that all about? I'm not sure.
Oh, Daddy, I've been trying to reach you all day.
- You all right? - I'm a little tired, that's all.
Let me know when you hear from your friend.
Right away.
I wish somebody'd tell me what's going on around here.
Your father and Krystle are having problems.
Well, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
Daddy's behaving strangely.
Krystle's been gone all day.
- What problems? - I think we should leave them alone.
Did Daddy forget their anniversary? What? - I don't know, but you stay out of it.
- You do know.
You're not telling me.
What reason would I have to lie to you? I don't know.
Your credibility is a little weak these days.
I'll bet you told Goldilocks some interesting stories after I left this morning.
Let's forget about this morning.
The look on your face when I walked in.
But I have to hand it to you.
You covered.
That was quite a performance.
Yours wasn't bad, either.
Which one? In the living room or in bed? Hi, this is Jeff Colby.
I'm not in right now, but please leave your Steven, you in there? Steven? Mommy? Sweetheart? What are you doing up so late? I can't sleep.
- Did you have a bad dream? - No.
- Well, then what's the matter? - Where's Daddy? Well, I'm sure he'll be here soon.
Can I wait up for him? No, Danny, really, it's too late.
- Mom.
- Danny, I said You know something, I'm not really tired, either.
How about if we make some hot chocolate? Yeah? I'll race you to the kitchen.
Oh.
Oh! Go.
I'm gonna get you.
Aah! - Hello? - Dr.
Hampton for Blake Carrington.
Yes, I'm returning his call.
Well, I'm his daughter.
Can I help you, Dr.
Hampton? Oh, Fallon, I'll take that.
He's right here.
Hello Excuse me, will you please, darling? - Hello, doctor.
- Mr.
Carrington, Dr.
Aames has filled me in on our wife's condition.
The headaches have gotten progressively worse.
And there were these dizzy spells and then erratic behaviour.
You know, it is possible that this could be something other than what we're afraid of.
Those were the manifestations you told me to look for.
You yourself said it when you examined her.
I know, I know, but let's wait until I've seen her again.
How soon can you bring her to Los Angeles? - I don't know.
- Well, you can't wait.
Doctor, Krystle has disappeared.
We haven't been able to find her.
You have to.
She could be capable of almost anything.
Dear God.
Under my skin.
Yeah.
I've got you, you, you Deep in the heart of me.
Whoa! - Whoo! - Oh, not only are you gorgeous, but you anticipate my every desire.
Oh, Dex.
Dex.
Do you know how much I love you? Do you know? Hmm? That's how much I love you.
Oh, you're my best friend in the whole world, you really are.
You're the only man who's man enough to give me my space.
And this woman really needs her space.
Speaking of space Whoa! Oh, darling, I should never have let you go.
I'm never gonna let you go again, I promise.
Never.
I love you so much.
I could I love you, I love you.
I love you so much, I could eat you up.
I think we'd better shift into the bedroom, huh? The bedroom, huh? The bedroom? Oh.
What a terrific idea.
I'll carry you.
Oh, Dex, what have you been doing? You're so heavy.
It's all those muscles that you've got.
Oh.
- So many muscles.
- Yeah.
Heh.
I've got you.
Under my skin.
Some enchanted evening.
Just a moment.
All right, all right, I'm coming.
- You couldn't call? - Huh? You let the whole day go by without picking up the phone? - What time is it? - I don't know, 6 in the morning.
What difference does it make? I called you half a dozen times.
I couldn't sleep all night.
- I was tied up with Blake.
- All day? Every minute? - He had a rough day.
- So did I.
Every time I think of how you let Fallon come - I'd better make some coffee.
- I don't want your coffee.
- Why didn't you call me? - I said I spent the day with Blake.
What, he was upset over the election? No, no, it's something else.
Look, I'd better get dressed.
- What's wrong? - I said it's nothing.
It's not nothing.
What is it? Ls it Krystle? It is Krystle, isn't it? She's been having these headaches.
When I called today, Jeanette wouldn't put her on the phone.
I was gonna drive to the lake to see if she was there The lake? Yeah.
She goes there when she wants to be alone.
- Could you show me where? - Now? Jeff, what's going on? Just take me there.
She's disappeared, hasn't she? I wish I had a camera.
Dex, I'm sorry about last night.
Oh, come on, you put on a really good show, up until the last act.
Well, I guess I fell asleep.
Well, you look wide awake now.
Oh, Dex, you wouldn't.
Of course, I would.
No, Dex, no.
No, Dex.
- No, Dex! - You're coming in.
- Down you go! - No! Don't touch me, you brat! What are you doing? I'm gonna divorce you again.
Lam, I swear to you.
You are just a brute, you know? A real brute.
Terrible brute.
Do you like being a brute? Morning, Daddy.
What are you doing up at this hour? - Waiting for you.
- Oh.
That's very sweet of you, darling, but Daddy, please, let me help you.
I know Krystle's been gone all night and there was that call from the doctor.
- Why are you shutting me out? - I am not shutting you out.
Daddy, I'm your daughter.
Whatever it is, I wanna help.
Please.
Please go back to bed.
No.
Why don't you go wash up and I'll fix you some breakfast? What's the matter? I was just thinking about the other morning, what happened with Fallon.
I just feel bad.
You should.
No, you shouldn't.
It wasn't your fault.
There's the turnoff.
I remember Krystle telling me that she could never get over the fact that Blake owned his own lake.
I was here once when I was a kid.
It wasn't a lake then, it was a Like a mine or some kind of an excavation that Jason and Blake's father were involved in.
You mean like a gold mine? Well, whatever it was, it never amounted to much.
Sammy Jo.
There's fresh mud and tyre tracks.
Jeff, come here.
This is Krystle's diary.
She's been here.
She never lets this out of her sight.
Look.
What is it? My God, it's a body.
A body? A body? Oh, no.
Krystle!
