Dynasty s09e14 Episode Script
House of the Falling Son
- I'm talking about Virginia! - I didn't do anything! - The hell you didn't! - Last time on Dynasty: With her, Adam, huh? Slap her around a little bit? Make you feel like a man? Why don't I take a quick shower, then we'll have a little dinner and, uh? Oh, God, what an idiot I've been.
Daddy was right.
You were just seeing me so you could spy on him.
If you're interested in him, the field's clear.
I'm not in the way.
Oh, do let me understand this.
If I developed an attraction for Dexter, I have your permission to pursue it? I didn't mean it that way.
Then you should learn to say what you do mean, and very quickly.
You were diving in a lake, but you didn't know what you were looking for.
It had to be gold.
Maybe coins, you know? Something you're trying to hide from Uncle Sam.
Mr.
Gibson, you're a fool.
Don't you think if there was something valuable buried on my land - that I would've dug it out myself? - You're gonna get me out of here.
Don't make deals with people like you.
Carrington, come back here! I can hurt you when I get out of here! If Alexis goes after Blake for killing Roger Grimes, she's also attacking me.
Now, Alexis knows where I've drawn the line.
Destroying Blake is Alexis' life's work.
There's only one way to stop her, and that's with a sharper axe.
This is big enough to bring down Colbyco and Alexis Colby on top of it.
- But I want more.
- How much more? Five million dollars.
I thought that would be your reaction.
- Put that gun away.
- It has gone too far.
No! Please, this is crazy.
Don't do it.
- Do you think I wanna do this? - No.
No, I don't.
It's just gone too far.
I came hereto discuss business.
Mr.
Heath, it is very difficult to discuss anything with a gun pointed at my head.
Well, you've forced me to.
Mr.
Heath, you are a very reasonable, very intelligent man.
Oh.
Oh, I know what you're trying to do.
You're trying 10 What ever can you gain by shooting me? Nothing.
I know that you don't want to shoot me.
But if that gun goes off, it is over for both of us.
No, I don't I don't wanna do this, but you pushed and you pushed You're right.
Forgive me.
I didn't know how far it had gone, but we can work through this.
Just sit down there and we'll talk.
All right.
You see, what Sean Rowan did at Colbyco, it's like what They wrecked a very important takeover deal.
You don't know how big this is.
Mr.
Heath, I am very willing to listen.
And with the information I'm giving you, you could sue Colbyco for billions.
You could force Alexis Colby into total bankruptcy.
Fine.
If you're right, I'm very happy to pay you $5 million.
But put that gun away and we'll discuss it.
- But I can't go to jail.
- You don't have to.
- I can't.
- Mr.
Heath, I am not like my cousin.
I don't relish the idea of destroying other people's lives.
Please.
For both our sakes.
My head is splitting.
Of course it is.
- Are you going to call the police? - No, of course not.
As far as I'm concerned, this is simply another business meeting.
Now, why don't you put the gun down there? That's better.
Now talk to me.
Tell me how we are going to bring my cousin to the ground.
Well, it's a little complicated.
This may take a little time to explain.
Oh.
I have all the time in the world.
Yeah, these are good.
We'll need a dozen.
And get a lock on those speedboats Kreiss is trying to sell us.
Yeah, he wants an arm and a leg for them.
Oh, really? After what I did for him in Angola.
Forget it.
You call Olamonti.
- Yeah, who is it? - Your employer.
I don't believe this.
What the hell are you doing here? Protecting my investment.
Ah.
Good morning, gentlemen.
I don't need a babysitter.
I paid you to take care of my ships, not loll around in some five-star hotel suite.
Does this look like a tea party? I'm looking after your ships.
I don't have time for you right now.
Oh, well, since you have time for my money, you might as well have time for me, because I intend to be involved in this project whether you like it or not.
- So you wanna be involved? - Yes, I do.
Okay, Jimbo, gift wrap the lady and put her next door.
Go ahead, tie her up.
- What? - It will be easier for you - if you don't resist, ma'am.
- What are you doing with that? Take your hands off me.
Put me down.
Put me down, you great brute.
- Stop.
Will you help me? Help.
- Gag her if she doesn't shut up.
Don't let him do this to me.
What the hell is going on around here? Okay.
- Do you know who I am? - I've blocked this out from square one.
- Cray? Cray? - The op He'!- The operation will start here.
- Oh, Blake, good morning.
- Dex, thanks for coming.
Let's get some coffee.
What's up? Well, I don't wanna talk about it here.
Let's go in the library.
Okay.
Can I fix you some coffee? Please.
Just black.
Dex, the other night, you had a fight with Adam.
Well, it was nothing.
I was told that it had something to do with Virginia, that you knew her quite a long time ago.
Now, Dex, I've got to know about this.
- Honestly, I'd rather not get into this.
- Sorry, I don't mean to pry, but this is very important to me.
How did you happen to know her? It was about ten years ago.
We met in a bar downtown, not far from my dad's old office.
In a bar? She couldn't have been more than 15 then.
She was 16, but the way she dressed in those days, she looked a lot older.
What happened? Well, a couple of drunks were hitting on her.
I stepped in, I got her out.
We became friendly.
When I found out that she didn't have a place to stay, I put her up in my apartment.
Well, she had had a rough time back home.
Somehow she got it into her mind that I was the answer to her problems.
Blake, I was pretty young myself at the time.
Well, what happened next? Well, when I found out how young she was, 16, I didn't know what the hell to do.
I finally talked to my CO from Vietnam.
His wife runs a boarding school upstate for kids from problem families.
I decided to make arrangements to send Virginia there.
Adam tells a different story.
I'm sure that he did.
Now, tell me, what did Adam do to her? - Come on, Blake.
- Come on, now, that fight that you had must have had something to do with what happened between them.
Look, Virginia's gone.
There's no point dragging all of it Just tell me.
Adam must have found out about Virginia's background, about the things she had to do to get by on the streets.
- Look, I don't wanna stir things - What did he do? I don't know the whole story.
But he must have used what he had learned to coerce her into bed.
Then he wanted her to do some of those things.
That's exactly what I thought.
Blake.
Blake.
It's done with.
Thanks for your help.
We'll talk later.
Oh, Marie, have you seen Adam? Yes, sir.
He went out jogging a little while ago.
I wanna talk to him the minute he gets back.
I'll be in my room.
Thank you, Dex.
- I'm so ashamed that I had 10 - It's behind us.
Now, we'll clear your gambling debts, regardless.
- And if this information bears fruit - Oh, it will.
The proof is in those files.
In the right hands, this could bring down Colbyco like a glass house in an earthquake.
- Right on top of Alexis.
- Yes.
You know, if you wanted to, you could save Colbyco.
If you did it right, you could even take the company over.
Let me worry about that, Fritz.
Now, you've done the right thing.
Out.
And when this all is over, you'll have no more money worries.
And I will have realised a major dream of mine.
Does that sound fair? - Oh, my gun.
- Oh, you don't need that anymore.
- Yes, but - Why don't you just leave it with me? - No, I can't do that.
- Fritz, you are exhausted.
What you need now is to go home and get some sleep.
Oh, I don't know, I Believe me, you'll be amazed how much brighter everything will seem tomorrow.
- Again, about what happened, I - It's over.
I'll contact you in a day or so when I've verified the information in these files.
All right, we'll move out in 72 hours.
You know where we're gonna meet? - Rest up, it's gonna be a long haul.
- Take your hands off me.
And I mistook you for a civilized man.
What are you going to do for an encore, shoot at the floor and make me dance around the bullets? When the guy from Algiers shows up, I'll send him down to you, okay? Oh.
Look what that monster did to my wrists.
They're covered in bruises.
What are you complaining about? You're lucky you're still alive.
Oh.
Were you going to use me for target practice, then? Look, I'm not running a summer camp here.
You walked in on a manoeuvre unannounced.
- Manoeuvre? - Those men open grenades faster than they open their mouths.
If I hadn't reacted the way I did I might still have a manicure.
Yeah, but you'd be missing the matching lipstick, along with your head.
Lady, I saved your life.
You saved your dignity at my expense.
- Oh, really? - Yes, oh, really.
You can't stand the fact that I tracked you down.
You're a man who takes so many precautions you probably wear disposable underwear with somebody else's initials written on it.
I find you, I walk in on you, I beat you at your own pathetic little game.
And then instead of treating me like an equal, you resort to the one thing that men think makes them superior, brute strength.
God, you're beautiful.
Can I mix you a drink? I want an explanation from you of how you are going to get me my ships back.
I got into this mess in the first place by relying on idiots.
I don't wanna make the same mistake twice.
Okay, then let me help you out.
This is what's left of your advance.
I'll pay back the rest later.
What are you talking about? You can get someone else to take care of your ships.
I don't want anybody else.
I wanna continue with you.
- We had an agreement.
- And you broke it with your meddling.
Look.
What if I say that I won't interfere again? - What if I say we have a truce? - Hmm.
And you and I have dinner tonight? Dinner? Your idea of Parisian haute cuisine is probably frog legs and french fries.
Try me.
I might even mind my manners.
My little dog had better manners than you before he was house-trained.
Same'.
TOY- Out.
L.
B.
: Heh.
It was out.
L.
B.
: It was in.
It wa LAUREN: It was.
It was out.
- In.
- It was in.
It was definitely in.
If anything, it was right on the line, right? - Who's the winner? - I am.
- Who's the champion of the world? - I am! Good boy.
Now, you do me a favour, all right? Find Danny and tell him we're gonna pick up his mommy from the hospital now, okay? Will you do that for me? - Sure, Dad.
- Good boy.
Ah, ah, ah.
Hello.
Congratulations, champion.
Oh, yuck.
Oh, yuck to you too.
Well, that was a That was a pleasant surprise.
Not really.
L.
B.
beats me all the time.
No, no, I mean, the fact that you actually found time to play with him.
Mary, can you take Lauren upstairs? - I'm gonna read you a story, okay? - Okay.
And then you're gonna take a nap.
.
OKAY .
OKAY.
All right, what was that all about? Well, L.
B.
tells me that he hardly sees you anymore, - that you're always off somewhere.
- That's not true.
Oh, you're not seeing Inspector Clouseau anymore? That's none of your business.
- It is if you're ignoring the kids.
- Ignoring the kids? - When did I start ignoring the kids? - I've heard you're out quite a bit lately.
Wait a minute.
If I'm out late, I make sure the kids are looked after.
You know damn well they're more precious to me than anything.
- Why you giving me the third degree? - I'm being overprotective.
- L.
B.
and Lauren get more attention - No, no, I'm overprotective of you.
Huh? We've known each other a long time, ever since we were kids, and we're divorced now and I'm back together with Sammy Jo, but, well, I still care for you.
- The sap's flowing pretty thick.
Ha, ha.
- Ha-ha-ha.
- I better get a spigot.
- You don't know - what you're talking about! - I know what you did.
- Dad.
- I made a promise to Krystle that we would bring Virginia into this house and make her part of our family.
- I know that.
- You made a mockery of that promise.
You not only dishonored Virginia, you dishonored Krystle, and you dishonored me.
I told you that nothing happened! You told me nothing bullies.
Before you call me a liar, check the family history.
Now, don't you walk away from me.
What the devil are you talking about, anyway? You and Grandfather didn't make your fortunes by selling Girl Scout cookies, that's for sure.
I'm not finished with you! - What's going on? - I'm talking to you.
You scratched your way to the top of the heap, and if it suited your purpose, - you lied and stole and you cheated.
- Stop it! - What the hell do you mean by that? - If you're so pure, why are you so concerned because some cop is nosing around? - Adam! - Get out.
The minute the body was mentioned, - you looked guilty! No-good - Daddy! - And you? Don't! - What are you if not a fraud? - Don't! Stop it! Adam! Oh, my God.
Adam.
Adam! Adam.
- Good, you're trying to kill me too.
- Ls he all right? Yes, he's fine.
L think so.
Go on.
Get out of here.
Get out of this house.
You might have a concussion.
- Let me take you to the hospital.
- I don't need your help.
- I love these father-and-son chats.
- Get out! - I'm gonna - Yeah.
I'll take the boys now and pick up Sammy Jo.
Daddy? Look, I don't know what that was all about, - but Adam's your son.
- He's no son of mine.
We have to stop doing this to each other.
All of us.
This whole family is coming apart.
Family? Steven runs off God knows where.
Adam drives Krystle's cousin away and won't even own up to it.
And you, you're cavorting with a cop who's trying to put me behind bars.
You call that a family? I don't care how many problems we have right now.
We are a family, and that won't change.
I know how much you miss Krystle.
I do too.
But as difficult as things are right now, we're here.
There are times when I feel that nothing is ever gonna be the same here again.
Yeah, you kids can play.
Make sure you stay away from where they're rebuilding the stables.
Okay? L.
B.
: Okay, Dad.
Probably the first place they're gonna go.
They'll be all right.
Can I open my eyes? - No, not yet, not until I tell you.
- Please.
Okay.
Oh, Jeff.
Oh, you shouldn't have.
- You like it? - I love it.
Mwah.
Thank you.
Let me down before my stitches pop.
- Okay.
- Oh.
Oh, isn't that gorgeous? Oh, I just-Oh, I love them.
What is it? Nothing.
Nothing at all.
What is this? - Oh, it's beautiful.
- I don't remember ordering that.
Ooh.
It's so cute.
Oh.
It's from Fallon.
Heh.
How nice.
Disappointed it's not from your Romeo at the hospital? - Oh, come on.
- I'm sure he'll write you any day now.
Don't be ridiculous and stop getting jealous.
- Me, jealous? - Thank you for my flowers.
I love them.
Is something wrong? You sound angry.
I'm just glad we got a clear connection, Alexis.
What's the matter, Dex? What do you mean, what's the matter? You've been gone nearly a week.
This is the first time you've bothered calling.
I didn't even know you'd left the country until Jeff told me.
Well, look, I'm sorry.
But after the way you carried on last time, I just thought - The way I carried on? - Yes.
You know what I'm talking about.
So who did you go off with this time? - I'm in Paris on business.
- What business and with whom? Heh.
I don't think that's any concern of yours.
What do you mean, it doesn't concern me? I've got my own company.
But you'd never know because the only business - I've been taking care of is yours.
- Yes, and I do appreciate that.
The heH you do.
You know something? I used to have a life of my own before I talked myself into trotting along behind you like some damn little pet lemming.
Urn, do you think we could get to the point of this conversation? Because I have to go out to dinner now.
Oh, out to dinner.
Yeah, it's gotta be 11:00 there.
Yes.
They eat late in Paris.
Oh.
I bet you want me to believe that you are dining alone.
Well, you know how I love going out to restaurants alone.
Look, I really don't understand why you're getting so upset.
You don't? You don't?! You know something, Alexis? I was wrong.
We do have a terrible connection.
And I'm not just talking about the damn phone line.
Damn.
Operator.
Operator.
Good evening.
Heh.
Whoever that was, it's their loss.
You look stunning.
Well, why don't we go out and stun someone? Hmm? - You won't be needing that.
- Mm.
It's cold out tonight.
Trust me.
Heh.
Not in this lifetime, Mr.
Boyd.
Please be someone I've been meaning to take apart.
Sable.
That I should have to turn to you, of all people.
What? Oh, just look at this mess.
How can anybody live in such a? Such? What's this all about? Is this your dinner? Well, my chef had to cater Governor's Ball, I had to make do.
I almost died today.
- What? - It's amazing.
One moment, the world is yours and you think you have everything under control and you think you're in command of your life.
But it's not true.
You're not in command because it can all change just like that.
May I have some water? Of course.
I remember when I was a little girl, we had a maid called Lizzie who looked after me, and she used to go home on Fridays.
I remember it was raining.
And we all heard the collision.
And we ran.
The windshield was just like a spider's web.
We couldn't open the door because it was all crunched, and she was trapped.
Just slumped at the wheel behind this spider's web.
There were people all around, you see, but nobody knew what to do.
It was just like at the hotel.
I had this pointed at me today.
Pointed straight at my face.
Why don't you give that to me, Sable? Staring down the barrel of this gun.
And his finger on the trigger moved.
It could have gone off.
- Even accidentally.
- Who? Who did this to you? That doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
He just walked in.
It was It was before dawn.
- Into your suite? - He was acting very strangely.
At first, I thought that he had had too much to drink, but then from the way that he was talking, I realised no, and then he reached in his briefcase and pulled out this gun.
Sable, let me have the gun now.
- Give me the gun.
- Oh.
I don't think that he wanted to use it.
It It's just that he was out of control.
And then I tried to talk him down and I'm sure that he thought that I was That I was calm.
Yeah.
It's okay.
All day All day I just haven't been able to focus on anything.
I just feel I've lost something.
Oh.
I feel so empty.
Your ships are anchored here, six miles offshore.
Now, we can bypass the militia, but there's still logistical problems.
I figure we start with a diversion here and here.
You know, it's amazing.
With all the good restaurants in Paris, you insist on dining here.
You know, this isn't information I usually share with my client.
- You could at least listen.
- I'm listening.
We're talking about handling seven ships.
I can also count.
But, Cray, I don't want to start World War Ill.
- I don't believe in killing.
- Oh, really? No, I've never killed anyone.
Have you? Well, I'm sure you've ruined a few lives along the way with your lawyers and accountants.
Heh.
That's hardly the same as putting a bullet through someone's head.
Sometimes that's more humane than letting it just drag on.
God, you remind me of my ex-husband, the one that I was talking to on the phone.
He had a knack of twisting everything that I said to make himself sound clever.
You are alike.
I mean, you're both ex-Green Berets, both stubborn, both not afraid of speaking your minds, what little there is of them, and you stick to your ideals.
- I don't have ideals.
- You don't? Ideals is a word I hear my clients use just before they start a war.
I see.
So a professional killer can murder someone, but a good soldier can massacre a village.
So you do have high standards.
I also have good taste, particularly in cognac.
Would you like one? Hmm.
Why not? One thing I know you're good at is pouring drinks.
Ah.
You certainly know how to flatter the help.
Hey.
You're leaving? Yes.
- You're gonna be all right, aren't you? - I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Go back to bed.
And, uh, this never happened anyway.
I'm sorry to bother you.
I've been trying to reach Fallon, and with you out of the hospital, she might be there.
Sorry, she's not here.
Well, okay.
If she does come by, could you have her get in touch with me? If I see her, I'll pass along the message.
Thanks.
Oh, and I'm glad to hear you're feeling better.
Thank you, sergeant.
- Thank you.
- Bye.
Okay.
Okay, what? What's this all about with you and Zorelli? - What about me and Zorelli? - Fallon, I wasn't shot in the head.
I can still put two and two together.
And the last time we talked, it was puppy love.
And now you're playing hide-and-seek with him.
What's going on? Nothing.
I just don't wanna talk to him right now.
Oh, come on.
How can you be mad at such a cute little-J? Dogs can be cute too.
Then when you go to pet them, they bite.
What did he do to you? Don't tell me.
Handcuffs.
Ha-ha-ha.
Let's just forget about Zorelli.
You know, I was thinking, the doctor said you're gonna be laid up for a while.
Mm-hm.
It would be a good idea to have someone around to help.
Oh, you know, I have the servants and Hank and Clint.
- But that's not the same.
- As what? As me.
I could move in with the kids.
- Move in here? - Just for a week or so.
I'd love it, but Zorelli's not the only one you're having problems with.
It's Blake too.
Isn't it? - Good evening, Ms.
Colby.
- Oh, good evening, Robert.
Mr.
Kent asked me to remind you about the wine reserves.
Ah.
Yes, I'll attend to them in the morning.
Would you ask the valet to park my car? - Yes, ma'am.
- Oh, I've been looking for you all day.
I've, uh, been busy.
We were supposed to get together with that guy on the Whelpley deal, remember? I'm sure you handled it very well.
I handled it as best I could, but he was very upset you weren't there.
Well, I'll call him in the morning.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Oh, look, I am fed I am fed up with the way you've been treating me.
Last night Joanna, this is neither the time nor the place.
I give you the best 14 hours of my day.
Once I'm off the job, my life is my own.
And I wouldn't dream of stealing a second of it.
I'm talking about Dex.
- I see.
- So what if I slept with him? There was a time when that's what you wanted.
When two heads lie down on pillows, how much information can come out? Joanna, I have not had the best of days.
L just want you to know that I can see through this whole facade of yours.
- Facade? - You want me away from Dex so you can have him all to yourself.
You're out of your mind and you are out of line.
All right.
All right, I'll say goodbye to Dex.
I was going to anyway.
L just want you to know it's my decision, not yours.
Hmm.
Looks like I'm going to have to come to a decision of my own.
About you, Joanna.
"And then Prince Charming took Cinderella's hand.
" And together they walked off "to the rousing cheers of everyone in the kingdom.
" And they lived happily ever after, right? That's right.
They lived happily ever after.
Kristina, what would I ever do without you? Everybody's leaving.
Everyone I ever cared about, all of them leaving.
Your mommy, Steven, Virginia.
And Fallon seems to be pulling away too.
And Adam.
Adam, who I had such hopes for.
I don't know what's happening anymore.
You're my last hope, my precious.
I mustn't fail you.
Just my luck.
A rainy night in Paris, a nice cognac, and you're a half a world away.
Half a world away? Your friend Dexier.
I mean, you've been thinking about him all night.
- What's wrong? - I hate thunder.
You're right.
I have been thinking about Dex.
He is the most selfish, egotistical, self-centered man I've ever met.
- I know the type.
- Heh.
Well, you're a bit like that yourself.
Well, I have my moments.
You know, I've always been loyal to the people I love.
Always a good idea.
I'm not much of a one for one-night stands.
Actually, I'll be in Paris at least two nights.
Ha, ha.
Don't make fun of me.
I mean it.
I I don't know if I'm ready for this.
Well, I'm not gonna force you.
Telephone.
Telephone.
You better answer it.
- Probably your conscience.
- Ha, ha.
Yeah? No.
When did you hear that? Okay, uh, let's get it in gear.
Be down here in ten minutes.
Right.
What happened? I'm gonna have to take you back to your suite.
We figured on your boats leaving in four days.
Now suddenly it's two.
Well, what does that mean? Means we're gonna have to scrap our plan and hustle down and make it up as we go.
Isn't that gonna be much more dangerous? Well, there's a price for everything.
Yeah, that's it.
Well, if you can trace the registration, that would be great.
Yeah, I'll be here.
And thanks, Painter.
I need an unlisted address.
Hi, Dex.
I didn't know it was raining.
Oh, it isn't.
But a girl has to wear at least one thing besides her hose and heels.
Sable wanted me to say goodbye to you, so I just thought we should do it right.
Oh, don't tell me I've rendered you speechless.
Joanna.
Oh.
Of course.
I should have remembered.
This sort of thing is old hat for you, isn't it? You got a visit like this the other night from What was her name? Virgin something or other? Virginia.
And, no, it has nothing to do with that.
Oh, then what? Joanna, why don't we be straight with one another? The only reason you came here was to use me to get back at Sable.
Then you were paying attention.
It was fun.
But it's over, don't you think? Just like that.
Come on, we don't have what it takes to make a relationship.
Oh, I see, I see.
Sable sends me off, and then you two set your sights on each other, is that it? We don't have to get ugly about this.
Okay, okay.
Good for her.
Now that she's bagged you, all she has to do is mount your head on her wall and she'll really have the last laugh on Alexis.
Good night, Joanna.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Goodbye, Dex.
I don't believe you.
Are you out of your mind? How did you get past security? Well, security was no problem.
It was the sprinklers that nailed me.
Idiot.
My father will have you arrested.
- You've been avoiding me, Fallon.
- You noticed.
You know something? You're right, I am an idiot.
I camp out here before dawn trying to catch you, and I do.
Only you're not coming out, you're coming in.
- So? - So where did you spend the night? Why? You're not jealous, are you? You're damn-You're damn right, I'm jealous, and I'm entitled.
You're not entitled to anything.
Look, Fallon, what's going on here? What was that stunt you pulled at my place? You come over, you make dinner, I go into the shower, I come out, shazzam, you're gone.
I can't reach you.
I can't call you, because of your old man.
You owe me some kind of explanation.
I should never have been at your place.
And why not? I don't wanna see you anymore, Zorelli.
You don't wanna see me anymore? She doesn't wanna see me anymore.
I can't.
You know, Fallon, this is nuts.
This is absolutely nuts, and I'm gonna tell you something.
Some explanation would not be out of order.
You know what I'm saying? Just go.
Yeah, well, it really doesn't matter what Gibson knows or doesn't know.
Because if he goes on trial, everything we've been trying to keep a lid on is going to be forced out into the open.
Yes, but Yes, but if Gibson is still in the dark about what is really down at the bottom of that lake, we might still be safe.
I mean, after all, he did tell me that he thought we were using the Delta Rho vault to store gold or something.
Maybe he's lying.
Maybe he's just saying that to throw you off guard.
- Out all night again? - I know what you're thinking.
Never mind.
Never mind.
- We'll talk more about this later.
- Yeah, sure.
- Fallon.
- No, I was not with Zorelli.
What difference would it make if I had been? If you must know, I stopped by Sammy Jo's after you left - and stayed there.
- No, I didn't I am so sick of everybody always getting on my case.
I'm just sick of it.
I am just sick of it.
I'm glad to hear that.
We're due for some good news.
Okay, see you in a bit.
- Morning.
- Good morning.
Well, I'm glad to see you haven't left yet.
Come on in.
Thank you.
That snag we ran into might end up working in our favour.
- Oh, how? - Well, they're moving the ships because there's rumor of a guerrilla raid planned on the main port.
How's that going to affect your plan? Well, some restless natives will be more of a diversion than our speedboats.
With a little luck, we can hit those ships with their guard down to almost nothing.
Good.
Well, you don't sound too pleased about it.
Actually, I'm surprised you're here.
I just wanted to see that you had everything under control.
Of course I do.
That's my job.
You know, it's been interesting getting to know you, Alexis Colby.
Interesting? "Interesting" is a word that you use when you're given a horrible tie for Christmas.
I feel like I'm sending a soldier off to war.
Lam your soldier.
Well, just don't get yourself killed or anything stupid like that.
That wasn't in my plan for this trip.
You know, you've got two hours before that plane leaves.
I hate to see you go.
Sorry to press you on this, Ms.
Colby.
No, no, you're absolutely right, Robert I shall go and do it now.
Sable.
SABLE: Hello, Dex.
Hi.
I wanted to see how you were.
I'm fine.
Thank you for those wonderful flowers.
Kind of a rough day for you yesterday, looking down the barrel of a gun.
Yes.
Yes, it was kind of rough.
Ended pretty well, though, didn't it? Yeah, it did.
Probably shouldn't happen again, though, should it? I don't think so.
Some things are only meant to happen once.
I was going to offer you a drink.
I'd better not.
I have to check the wine reserves.
- Ah.
- Ha, ha.
Apparently, it's been a thirstier month than usual.
Well, you've really taken over here, haven't you? No detail too small.
A few more hours in the day would be nice.
I've been busy myself.
Well, then.
Well, then.
We'll talk soon.
Mm-hm.
Nice of you to come by.
Daddy was right.
You were just seeing me so you could spy on him.
If you're interested in him, the field's clear.
I'm not in the way.
Oh, do let me understand this.
If I developed an attraction for Dexter, I have your permission to pursue it? I didn't mean it that way.
Then you should learn to say what you do mean, and very quickly.
You were diving in a lake, but you didn't know what you were looking for.
It had to be gold.
Maybe coins, you know? Something you're trying to hide from Uncle Sam.
Mr.
Gibson, you're a fool.
Don't you think if there was something valuable buried on my land - that I would've dug it out myself? - You're gonna get me out of here.
Don't make deals with people like you.
Carrington, come back here! I can hurt you when I get out of here! If Alexis goes after Blake for killing Roger Grimes, she's also attacking me.
Now, Alexis knows where I've drawn the line.
Destroying Blake is Alexis' life's work.
There's only one way to stop her, and that's with a sharper axe.
This is big enough to bring down Colbyco and Alexis Colby on top of it.
- But I want more.
- How much more? Five million dollars.
I thought that would be your reaction.
- Put that gun away.
- It has gone too far.
No! Please, this is crazy.
Don't do it.
- Do you think I wanna do this? - No.
No, I don't.
It's just gone too far.
I came hereto discuss business.
Mr.
Heath, it is very difficult to discuss anything with a gun pointed at my head.
Well, you've forced me to.
Mr.
Heath, you are a very reasonable, very intelligent man.
Oh.
Oh, I know what you're trying to do.
You're trying 10 What ever can you gain by shooting me? Nothing.
I know that you don't want to shoot me.
But if that gun goes off, it is over for both of us.
No, I don't I don't wanna do this, but you pushed and you pushed You're right.
Forgive me.
I didn't know how far it had gone, but we can work through this.
Just sit down there and we'll talk.
All right.
You see, what Sean Rowan did at Colbyco, it's like what They wrecked a very important takeover deal.
You don't know how big this is.
Mr.
Heath, I am very willing to listen.
And with the information I'm giving you, you could sue Colbyco for billions.
You could force Alexis Colby into total bankruptcy.
Fine.
If you're right, I'm very happy to pay you $5 million.
But put that gun away and we'll discuss it.
- But I can't go to jail.
- You don't have to.
- I can't.
- Mr.
Heath, I am not like my cousin.
I don't relish the idea of destroying other people's lives.
Please.
For both our sakes.
My head is splitting.
Of course it is.
- Are you going to call the police? - No, of course not.
As far as I'm concerned, this is simply another business meeting.
Now, why don't you put the gun down there? That's better.
Now talk to me.
Tell me how we are going to bring my cousin to the ground.
Well, it's a little complicated.
This may take a little time to explain.
Oh.
I have all the time in the world.
Yeah, these are good.
We'll need a dozen.
And get a lock on those speedboats Kreiss is trying to sell us.
Yeah, he wants an arm and a leg for them.
Oh, really? After what I did for him in Angola.
Forget it.
You call Olamonti.
- Yeah, who is it? - Your employer.
I don't believe this.
What the hell are you doing here? Protecting my investment.
Ah.
Good morning, gentlemen.
I don't need a babysitter.
I paid you to take care of my ships, not loll around in some five-star hotel suite.
Does this look like a tea party? I'm looking after your ships.
I don't have time for you right now.
Oh, well, since you have time for my money, you might as well have time for me, because I intend to be involved in this project whether you like it or not.
- So you wanna be involved? - Yes, I do.
Okay, Jimbo, gift wrap the lady and put her next door.
Go ahead, tie her up.
- What? - It will be easier for you - if you don't resist, ma'am.
- What are you doing with that? Take your hands off me.
Put me down.
Put me down, you great brute.
- Stop.
Will you help me? Help.
- Gag her if she doesn't shut up.
Don't let him do this to me.
What the hell is going on around here? Okay.
- Do you know who I am? - I've blocked this out from square one.
- Cray? Cray? - The op He'!- The operation will start here.
- Oh, Blake, good morning.
- Dex, thanks for coming.
Let's get some coffee.
What's up? Well, I don't wanna talk about it here.
Let's go in the library.
Okay.
Can I fix you some coffee? Please.
Just black.
Dex, the other night, you had a fight with Adam.
Well, it was nothing.
I was told that it had something to do with Virginia, that you knew her quite a long time ago.
Now, Dex, I've got to know about this.
- Honestly, I'd rather not get into this.
- Sorry, I don't mean to pry, but this is very important to me.
How did you happen to know her? It was about ten years ago.
We met in a bar downtown, not far from my dad's old office.
In a bar? She couldn't have been more than 15 then.
She was 16, but the way she dressed in those days, she looked a lot older.
What happened? Well, a couple of drunks were hitting on her.
I stepped in, I got her out.
We became friendly.
When I found out that she didn't have a place to stay, I put her up in my apartment.
Well, she had had a rough time back home.
Somehow she got it into her mind that I was the answer to her problems.
Blake, I was pretty young myself at the time.
Well, what happened next? Well, when I found out how young she was, 16, I didn't know what the hell to do.
I finally talked to my CO from Vietnam.
His wife runs a boarding school upstate for kids from problem families.
I decided to make arrangements to send Virginia there.
Adam tells a different story.
I'm sure that he did.
Now, tell me, what did Adam do to her? - Come on, Blake.
- Come on, now, that fight that you had must have had something to do with what happened between them.
Look, Virginia's gone.
There's no point dragging all of it Just tell me.
Adam must have found out about Virginia's background, about the things she had to do to get by on the streets.
- Look, I don't wanna stir things - What did he do? I don't know the whole story.
But he must have used what he had learned to coerce her into bed.
Then he wanted her to do some of those things.
That's exactly what I thought.
Blake.
Blake.
It's done with.
Thanks for your help.
We'll talk later.
Oh, Marie, have you seen Adam? Yes, sir.
He went out jogging a little while ago.
I wanna talk to him the minute he gets back.
I'll be in my room.
Thank you, Dex.
- I'm so ashamed that I had 10 - It's behind us.
Now, we'll clear your gambling debts, regardless.
- And if this information bears fruit - Oh, it will.
The proof is in those files.
In the right hands, this could bring down Colbyco like a glass house in an earthquake.
- Right on top of Alexis.
- Yes.
You know, if you wanted to, you could save Colbyco.
If you did it right, you could even take the company over.
Let me worry about that, Fritz.
Now, you've done the right thing.
Out.
And when this all is over, you'll have no more money worries.
And I will have realised a major dream of mine.
Does that sound fair? - Oh, my gun.
- Oh, you don't need that anymore.
- Yes, but - Why don't you just leave it with me? - No, I can't do that.
- Fritz, you are exhausted.
What you need now is to go home and get some sleep.
Oh, I don't know, I Believe me, you'll be amazed how much brighter everything will seem tomorrow.
- Again, about what happened, I - It's over.
I'll contact you in a day or so when I've verified the information in these files.
All right, we'll move out in 72 hours.
You know where we're gonna meet? - Rest up, it's gonna be a long haul.
- Take your hands off me.
And I mistook you for a civilized man.
What are you going to do for an encore, shoot at the floor and make me dance around the bullets? When the guy from Algiers shows up, I'll send him down to you, okay? Oh.
Look what that monster did to my wrists.
They're covered in bruises.
What are you complaining about? You're lucky you're still alive.
Oh.
Were you going to use me for target practice, then? Look, I'm not running a summer camp here.
You walked in on a manoeuvre unannounced.
- Manoeuvre? - Those men open grenades faster than they open their mouths.
If I hadn't reacted the way I did I might still have a manicure.
Yeah, but you'd be missing the matching lipstick, along with your head.
Lady, I saved your life.
You saved your dignity at my expense.
- Oh, really? - Yes, oh, really.
You can't stand the fact that I tracked you down.
You're a man who takes so many precautions you probably wear disposable underwear with somebody else's initials written on it.
I find you, I walk in on you, I beat you at your own pathetic little game.
And then instead of treating me like an equal, you resort to the one thing that men think makes them superior, brute strength.
God, you're beautiful.
Can I mix you a drink? I want an explanation from you of how you are going to get me my ships back.
I got into this mess in the first place by relying on idiots.
I don't wanna make the same mistake twice.
Okay, then let me help you out.
This is what's left of your advance.
I'll pay back the rest later.
What are you talking about? You can get someone else to take care of your ships.
I don't want anybody else.
I wanna continue with you.
- We had an agreement.
- And you broke it with your meddling.
Look.
What if I say that I won't interfere again? - What if I say we have a truce? - Hmm.
And you and I have dinner tonight? Dinner? Your idea of Parisian haute cuisine is probably frog legs and french fries.
Try me.
I might even mind my manners.
My little dog had better manners than you before he was house-trained.
Same'.
TOY- Out.
L.
B.
: Heh.
It was out.
L.
B.
: It was in.
It wa LAUREN: It was.
It was out.
- In.
- It was in.
It was definitely in.
If anything, it was right on the line, right? - Who's the winner? - I am.
- Who's the champion of the world? - I am! Good boy.
Now, you do me a favour, all right? Find Danny and tell him we're gonna pick up his mommy from the hospital now, okay? Will you do that for me? - Sure, Dad.
- Good boy.
Ah, ah, ah.
Hello.
Congratulations, champion.
Oh, yuck.
Oh, yuck to you too.
Well, that was a That was a pleasant surprise.
Not really.
L.
B.
beats me all the time.
No, no, I mean, the fact that you actually found time to play with him.
Mary, can you take Lauren upstairs? - I'm gonna read you a story, okay? - Okay.
And then you're gonna take a nap.
.
OKAY .
OKAY.
All right, what was that all about? Well, L.
B.
tells me that he hardly sees you anymore, - that you're always off somewhere.
- That's not true.
Oh, you're not seeing Inspector Clouseau anymore? That's none of your business.
- It is if you're ignoring the kids.
- Ignoring the kids? - When did I start ignoring the kids? - I've heard you're out quite a bit lately.
Wait a minute.
If I'm out late, I make sure the kids are looked after.
You know damn well they're more precious to me than anything.
- Why you giving me the third degree? - I'm being overprotective.
- L.
B.
and Lauren get more attention - No, no, I'm overprotective of you.
Huh? We've known each other a long time, ever since we were kids, and we're divorced now and I'm back together with Sammy Jo, but, well, I still care for you.
- The sap's flowing pretty thick.
Ha, ha.
- Ha-ha-ha.
- I better get a spigot.
- You don't know - what you're talking about! - I know what you did.
- Dad.
- I made a promise to Krystle that we would bring Virginia into this house and make her part of our family.
- I know that.
- You made a mockery of that promise.
You not only dishonored Virginia, you dishonored Krystle, and you dishonored me.
I told you that nothing happened! You told me nothing bullies.
Before you call me a liar, check the family history.
Now, don't you walk away from me.
What the devil are you talking about, anyway? You and Grandfather didn't make your fortunes by selling Girl Scout cookies, that's for sure.
I'm not finished with you! - What's going on? - I'm talking to you.
You scratched your way to the top of the heap, and if it suited your purpose, - you lied and stole and you cheated.
- Stop it! - What the hell do you mean by that? - If you're so pure, why are you so concerned because some cop is nosing around? - Adam! - Get out.
The minute the body was mentioned, - you looked guilty! No-good - Daddy! - And you? Don't! - What are you if not a fraud? - Don't! Stop it! Adam! Oh, my God.
Adam.
Adam! Adam.
- Good, you're trying to kill me too.
- Ls he all right? Yes, he's fine.
L think so.
Go on.
Get out of here.
Get out of this house.
You might have a concussion.
- Let me take you to the hospital.
- I don't need your help.
- I love these father-and-son chats.
- Get out! - I'm gonna - Yeah.
I'll take the boys now and pick up Sammy Jo.
Daddy? Look, I don't know what that was all about, - but Adam's your son.
- He's no son of mine.
We have to stop doing this to each other.
All of us.
This whole family is coming apart.
Family? Steven runs off God knows where.
Adam drives Krystle's cousin away and won't even own up to it.
And you, you're cavorting with a cop who's trying to put me behind bars.
You call that a family? I don't care how many problems we have right now.
We are a family, and that won't change.
I know how much you miss Krystle.
I do too.
But as difficult as things are right now, we're here.
There are times when I feel that nothing is ever gonna be the same here again.
Yeah, you kids can play.
Make sure you stay away from where they're rebuilding the stables.
Okay? L.
B.
: Okay, Dad.
Probably the first place they're gonna go.
They'll be all right.
Can I open my eyes? - No, not yet, not until I tell you.
- Please.
Okay.
Oh, Jeff.
Oh, you shouldn't have.
- You like it? - I love it.
Mwah.
Thank you.
Let me down before my stitches pop.
- Okay.
- Oh.
Oh, isn't that gorgeous? Oh, I just-Oh, I love them.
What is it? Nothing.
Nothing at all.
What is this? - Oh, it's beautiful.
- I don't remember ordering that.
Ooh.
It's so cute.
Oh.
It's from Fallon.
Heh.
How nice.
Disappointed it's not from your Romeo at the hospital? - Oh, come on.
- I'm sure he'll write you any day now.
Don't be ridiculous and stop getting jealous.
- Me, jealous? - Thank you for my flowers.
I love them.
Is something wrong? You sound angry.
I'm just glad we got a clear connection, Alexis.
What's the matter, Dex? What do you mean, what's the matter? You've been gone nearly a week.
This is the first time you've bothered calling.
I didn't even know you'd left the country until Jeff told me.
Well, look, I'm sorry.
But after the way you carried on last time, I just thought - The way I carried on? - Yes.
You know what I'm talking about.
So who did you go off with this time? - I'm in Paris on business.
- What business and with whom? Heh.
I don't think that's any concern of yours.
What do you mean, it doesn't concern me? I've got my own company.
But you'd never know because the only business - I've been taking care of is yours.
- Yes, and I do appreciate that.
The heH you do.
You know something? I used to have a life of my own before I talked myself into trotting along behind you like some damn little pet lemming.
Urn, do you think we could get to the point of this conversation? Because I have to go out to dinner now.
Oh, out to dinner.
Yeah, it's gotta be 11:00 there.
Yes.
They eat late in Paris.
Oh.
I bet you want me to believe that you are dining alone.
Well, you know how I love going out to restaurants alone.
Look, I really don't understand why you're getting so upset.
You don't? You don't?! You know something, Alexis? I was wrong.
We do have a terrible connection.
And I'm not just talking about the damn phone line.
Damn.
Operator.
Operator.
Good evening.
Heh.
Whoever that was, it's their loss.
You look stunning.
Well, why don't we go out and stun someone? Hmm? - You won't be needing that.
- Mm.
It's cold out tonight.
Trust me.
Heh.
Not in this lifetime, Mr.
Boyd.
Please be someone I've been meaning to take apart.
Sable.
That I should have to turn to you, of all people.
What? Oh, just look at this mess.
How can anybody live in such a? Such? What's this all about? Is this your dinner? Well, my chef had to cater Governor's Ball, I had to make do.
I almost died today.
- What? - It's amazing.
One moment, the world is yours and you think you have everything under control and you think you're in command of your life.
But it's not true.
You're not in command because it can all change just like that.
May I have some water? Of course.
I remember when I was a little girl, we had a maid called Lizzie who looked after me, and she used to go home on Fridays.
I remember it was raining.
And we all heard the collision.
And we ran.
The windshield was just like a spider's web.
We couldn't open the door because it was all crunched, and she was trapped.
Just slumped at the wheel behind this spider's web.
There were people all around, you see, but nobody knew what to do.
It was just like at the hotel.
I had this pointed at me today.
Pointed straight at my face.
Why don't you give that to me, Sable? Staring down the barrel of this gun.
And his finger on the trigger moved.
It could have gone off.
- Even accidentally.
- Who? Who did this to you? That doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
He just walked in.
It was It was before dawn.
- Into your suite? - He was acting very strangely.
At first, I thought that he had had too much to drink, but then from the way that he was talking, I realised no, and then he reached in his briefcase and pulled out this gun.
Sable, let me have the gun now.
- Give me the gun.
- Oh.
I don't think that he wanted to use it.
It It's just that he was out of control.
And then I tried to talk him down and I'm sure that he thought that I was That I was calm.
Yeah.
It's okay.
All day All day I just haven't been able to focus on anything.
I just feel I've lost something.
Oh.
I feel so empty.
Your ships are anchored here, six miles offshore.
Now, we can bypass the militia, but there's still logistical problems.
I figure we start with a diversion here and here.
You know, it's amazing.
With all the good restaurants in Paris, you insist on dining here.
You know, this isn't information I usually share with my client.
- You could at least listen.
- I'm listening.
We're talking about handling seven ships.
I can also count.
But, Cray, I don't want to start World War Ill.
- I don't believe in killing.
- Oh, really? No, I've never killed anyone.
Have you? Well, I'm sure you've ruined a few lives along the way with your lawyers and accountants.
Heh.
That's hardly the same as putting a bullet through someone's head.
Sometimes that's more humane than letting it just drag on.
God, you remind me of my ex-husband, the one that I was talking to on the phone.
He had a knack of twisting everything that I said to make himself sound clever.
You are alike.
I mean, you're both ex-Green Berets, both stubborn, both not afraid of speaking your minds, what little there is of them, and you stick to your ideals.
- I don't have ideals.
- You don't? Ideals is a word I hear my clients use just before they start a war.
I see.
So a professional killer can murder someone, but a good soldier can massacre a village.
So you do have high standards.
I also have good taste, particularly in cognac.
Would you like one? Hmm.
Why not? One thing I know you're good at is pouring drinks.
Ah.
You certainly know how to flatter the help.
Hey.
You're leaving? Yes.
- You're gonna be all right, aren't you? - I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Go back to bed.
And, uh, this never happened anyway.
I'm sorry to bother you.
I've been trying to reach Fallon, and with you out of the hospital, she might be there.
Sorry, she's not here.
Well, okay.
If she does come by, could you have her get in touch with me? If I see her, I'll pass along the message.
Thanks.
Oh, and I'm glad to hear you're feeling better.
Thank you, sergeant.
- Thank you.
- Bye.
Okay.
Okay, what? What's this all about with you and Zorelli? - What about me and Zorelli? - Fallon, I wasn't shot in the head.
I can still put two and two together.
And the last time we talked, it was puppy love.
And now you're playing hide-and-seek with him.
What's going on? Nothing.
I just don't wanna talk to him right now.
Oh, come on.
How can you be mad at such a cute little-J? Dogs can be cute too.
Then when you go to pet them, they bite.
What did he do to you? Don't tell me.
Handcuffs.
Ha-ha-ha.
Let's just forget about Zorelli.
You know, I was thinking, the doctor said you're gonna be laid up for a while.
Mm-hm.
It would be a good idea to have someone around to help.
Oh, you know, I have the servants and Hank and Clint.
- But that's not the same.
- As what? As me.
I could move in with the kids.
- Move in here? - Just for a week or so.
I'd love it, but Zorelli's not the only one you're having problems with.
It's Blake too.
Isn't it? - Good evening, Ms.
Colby.
- Oh, good evening, Robert.
Mr.
Kent asked me to remind you about the wine reserves.
Ah.
Yes, I'll attend to them in the morning.
Would you ask the valet to park my car? - Yes, ma'am.
- Oh, I've been looking for you all day.
I've, uh, been busy.
We were supposed to get together with that guy on the Whelpley deal, remember? I'm sure you handled it very well.
I handled it as best I could, but he was very upset you weren't there.
Well, I'll call him in the morning.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Oh, look, I am fed I am fed up with the way you've been treating me.
Last night Joanna, this is neither the time nor the place.
I give you the best 14 hours of my day.
Once I'm off the job, my life is my own.
And I wouldn't dream of stealing a second of it.
I'm talking about Dex.
- I see.
- So what if I slept with him? There was a time when that's what you wanted.
When two heads lie down on pillows, how much information can come out? Joanna, I have not had the best of days.
L just want you to know that I can see through this whole facade of yours.
- Facade? - You want me away from Dex so you can have him all to yourself.
You're out of your mind and you are out of line.
All right.
All right, I'll say goodbye to Dex.
I was going to anyway.
L just want you to know it's my decision, not yours.
Hmm.
Looks like I'm going to have to come to a decision of my own.
About you, Joanna.
"And then Prince Charming took Cinderella's hand.
" And together they walked off "to the rousing cheers of everyone in the kingdom.
" And they lived happily ever after, right? That's right.
They lived happily ever after.
Kristina, what would I ever do without you? Everybody's leaving.
Everyone I ever cared about, all of them leaving.
Your mommy, Steven, Virginia.
And Fallon seems to be pulling away too.
And Adam.
Adam, who I had such hopes for.
I don't know what's happening anymore.
You're my last hope, my precious.
I mustn't fail you.
Just my luck.
A rainy night in Paris, a nice cognac, and you're a half a world away.
Half a world away? Your friend Dexier.
I mean, you've been thinking about him all night.
- What's wrong? - I hate thunder.
You're right.
I have been thinking about Dex.
He is the most selfish, egotistical, self-centered man I've ever met.
- I know the type.
- Heh.
Well, you're a bit like that yourself.
Well, I have my moments.
You know, I've always been loyal to the people I love.
Always a good idea.
I'm not much of a one for one-night stands.
Actually, I'll be in Paris at least two nights.
Ha, ha.
Don't make fun of me.
I mean it.
I I don't know if I'm ready for this.
Well, I'm not gonna force you.
Telephone.
Telephone.
You better answer it.
- Probably your conscience.
- Ha, ha.
Yeah? No.
When did you hear that? Okay, uh, let's get it in gear.
Be down here in ten minutes.
Right.
What happened? I'm gonna have to take you back to your suite.
We figured on your boats leaving in four days.
Now suddenly it's two.
Well, what does that mean? Means we're gonna have to scrap our plan and hustle down and make it up as we go.
Isn't that gonna be much more dangerous? Well, there's a price for everything.
Yeah, that's it.
Well, if you can trace the registration, that would be great.
Yeah, I'll be here.
And thanks, Painter.
I need an unlisted address.
Hi, Dex.
I didn't know it was raining.
Oh, it isn't.
But a girl has to wear at least one thing besides her hose and heels.
Sable wanted me to say goodbye to you, so I just thought we should do it right.
Oh, don't tell me I've rendered you speechless.
Joanna.
Oh.
Of course.
I should have remembered.
This sort of thing is old hat for you, isn't it? You got a visit like this the other night from What was her name? Virgin something or other? Virginia.
And, no, it has nothing to do with that.
Oh, then what? Joanna, why don't we be straight with one another? The only reason you came here was to use me to get back at Sable.
Then you were paying attention.
It was fun.
But it's over, don't you think? Just like that.
Come on, we don't have what it takes to make a relationship.
Oh, I see, I see.
Sable sends me off, and then you two set your sights on each other, is that it? We don't have to get ugly about this.
Okay, okay.
Good for her.
Now that she's bagged you, all she has to do is mount your head on her wall and she'll really have the last laugh on Alexis.
Good night, Joanna.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Goodbye, Dex.
I don't believe you.
Are you out of your mind? How did you get past security? Well, security was no problem.
It was the sprinklers that nailed me.
Idiot.
My father will have you arrested.
- You've been avoiding me, Fallon.
- You noticed.
You know something? You're right, I am an idiot.
I camp out here before dawn trying to catch you, and I do.
Only you're not coming out, you're coming in.
- So? - So where did you spend the night? Why? You're not jealous, are you? You're damn-You're damn right, I'm jealous, and I'm entitled.
You're not entitled to anything.
Look, Fallon, what's going on here? What was that stunt you pulled at my place? You come over, you make dinner, I go into the shower, I come out, shazzam, you're gone.
I can't reach you.
I can't call you, because of your old man.
You owe me some kind of explanation.
I should never have been at your place.
And why not? I don't wanna see you anymore, Zorelli.
You don't wanna see me anymore? She doesn't wanna see me anymore.
I can't.
You know, Fallon, this is nuts.
This is absolutely nuts, and I'm gonna tell you something.
Some explanation would not be out of order.
You know what I'm saying? Just go.
Yeah, well, it really doesn't matter what Gibson knows or doesn't know.
Because if he goes on trial, everything we've been trying to keep a lid on is going to be forced out into the open.
Yes, but Yes, but if Gibson is still in the dark about what is really down at the bottom of that lake, we might still be safe.
I mean, after all, he did tell me that he thought we were using the Delta Rho vault to store gold or something.
Maybe he's lying.
Maybe he's just saying that to throw you off guard.
- Out all night again? - I know what you're thinking.
Never mind.
Never mind.
- We'll talk more about this later.
- Yeah, sure.
- Fallon.
- No, I was not with Zorelli.
What difference would it make if I had been? If you must know, I stopped by Sammy Jo's after you left - and stayed there.
- No, I didn't I am so sick of everybody always getting on my case.
I'm just sick of it.
I am just sick of it.
I'm glad to hear that.
We're due for some good news.
Okay, see you in a bit.
- Morning.
- Good morning.
Well, I'm glad to see you haven't left yet.
Come on in.
Thank you.
That snag we ran into might end up working in our favour.
- Oh, how? - Well, they're moving the ships because there's rumor of a guerrilla raid planned on the main port.
How's that going to affect your plan? Well, some restless natives will be more of a diversion than our speedboats.
With a little luck, we can hit those ships with their guard down to almost nothing.
Good.
Well, you don't sound too pleased about it.
Actually, I'm surprised you're here.
I just wanted to see that you had everything under control.
Of course I do.
That's my job.
You know, it's been interesting getting to know you, Alexis Colby.
Interesting? "Interesting" is a word that you use when you're given a horrible tie for Christmas.
I feel like I'm sending a soldier off to war.
Lam your soldier.
Well, just don't get yourself killed or anything stupid like that.
That wasn't in my plan for this trip.
You know, you've got two hours before that plane leaves.
I hate to see you go.
Sorry to press you on this, Ms.
Colby.
No, no, you're absolutely right, Robert I shall go and do it now.
Sable.
SABLE: Hello, Dex.
Hi.
I wanted to see how you were.
I'm fine.
Thank you for those wonderful flowers.
Kind of a rough day for you yesterday, looking down the barrel of a gun.
Yes.
Yes, it was kind of rough.
Ended pretty well, though, didn't it? Yeah, it did.
Probably shouldn't happen again, though, should it? I don't think so.
Some things are only meant to happen once.
I was going to offer you a drink.
I'd better not.
I have to check the wine reserves.
- Ah.
- Ha, ha.
Apparently, it's been a thirstier month than usual.
Well, you've really taken over here, haven't you? No detail too small.
A few more hours in the day would be nice.
I've been busy myself.
Well, then.
Well, then.
We'll talk soon.
Mm-hm.
Nice of you to come by.
