Previously on Dynasty...

That is no way to talk
to your new boss.

He offered me
the COO position.

FALLON: With Jeff's backing, I
will be chief executive officer

of Carrington Windbriar.

Your new competition.

Matthew coming by today,
was that some sort of test?

BLAKE: Someone spotted
you two last night.

STANSFIELD:
There was a malfunction
with the thumper truck.

STEVEN:
What if the issue is murder?

You trying to honor the dead
or yourself, Blake?

Wife, mistress...

Widow? Or will you leave
Claudia that scrap?

AGENT: You have the right
to remain silent.

BLAKE:
He's accusing you of murder.

I had nothing to do
with Matthew's death.

I can't go and tell him
that my entire past

is one big lie.

Who would do this to you?

Hey!

SAM: You're cool.
I got the money.
CRISTAL: What'd you do?

Who do you think set up
tonight's little robbery?

BLAKE: It's missing. If what's
on that phone gets out,

it will ruin
the Carrington name.

* I've been thinking
we're meant to be *

* But I don't know how to
show you the best of me *

* Yeah, I want you,
do you want me, too... *

Come on, let's go!

* Do you want me, too?

* Showing up in
your beat-up truck *

* And now I'm sure it's more
than a stroke of luck *

* Yeah, I love you,
do you love me, too? *

Did you break a nail back there?
Let's go, Steven!

Hyah! Hyah!
* Do you love me, too?

* Clap your hands
if it feels good *

* Clap your hands...

(whoops)

You're off
your game, Steven.

Murder charge will
do that to you.

Well, this is
supposed to cheer you up.

The only thing my brother
should ever be accused of

is his poor taste in men.

Maybe you should screw
one of Dad's lawyers.

Pretty sure they're screwing us
with their astronomical fees.

Well, if they can
get you off...

Innuendo unintended.

Without an airtight alibi

to prove that
I didn't kill Matthew,

the FBI are saying
we need to provide them

with a credible
alternative suspect.

I'm not just gonna let them

throw someone else
under the bus.

Well, why not?
Daddy would.

As juvenile as it sounds,
I wish Mom were here.

Why?

The only thing
she's good for

is the occasional birthday card
that her secretary writes.

She spelled your name
wrong last time.

Lots of people
think it's "ph."

I just wish I could
ask her advice.

Hey, the best thing
Mom ever taught us

is what we learned
when she left:

you can only
rely on yourself.

And me.

* Some kinda wonderful.

Timing's a bit obvious,
don't you think?

Getting out of Dodge the day
after the house was robbed.

Don't forget to
pack the silver.

Thanks for the bags, Anders.

Where are you going?

Away.

Done with the Carringtons
so soon?

I'm just about done
with you, Sam.

I'm not exactly over the fact

that you staged a robbery
in my home.

It'll be fine.
My mom's got her money,

and you can get
a less tacky ring,

something that doesn't belong
in a gumball machine.

Right now, Blake is
meeting with Stansfield.

If the cops find out
that it was your friends,

that you were involved,
that I'm lying to my husband...

Add it to the list.

This is different.

You pick and choose your lies
like you do your men.

Okay, enough.

All I've done is jump from
one crisis to the next.

Matthew, a murder investigation,

now my nephew's felony.

It's no way to start a marriage.

So you're running away?

I'm going on my honeymoon.

Wow. Why pack anything at all?

Yeah, put that away.

I don't need to see
how Blake's sausage is made.

Fine. Go.

And this whole thing will
blow over before you get back.

For your sake, I hope so.

And Anders is sniffing around,
so you need to lay low.

I always do.

If the diamond was registered,
we have some hope of tracing it.

Forget about the ring.
That's what insurance is for.

I need that phone back.

If anybody finds out

that I had it, or what's on it,

the FBI's gonna be all over me.

At the moment, they're busy
investigating your son.

Who thinks that
I gave it back to you.

You told him.

Well, he knew
something was going on.

And if he finds out I lied...

I'm not the only one
with something to lose here.

If anybody else finds out

that I had that phone,
they're gonna ask

where I got it from.

If they find out that
you stole it from evidence...

The entire robbery
division is on this,

working around the clock.

I don't care
what you have to do.

You find the people
that took that phone

before they realize
what they have.

Not just for
my sake or yours.

My family's, too.

Can I help you?

Just looking for the bathroom.

It's easy to get lost
in this place.

Not easy enough.

FALLON:
Sorry I'm late.

I thought I'd squeeze in
a little morning ride.

Mm. Anyone I know?
(chuckles)

A handsome warm-blood palomino
named Butterscotch.

He was a gift for
my 16th birthday from Daddy.

Speaking of, what happened to
the dirt you were looking for?

Nothing from the driver?

Don't worry about the lawsuit.

Your dad's gonna drop it?

No. We are.

We don't need
the Carrington name.

This company represents
a new start for me.

We need a new name.

My name.

So what? Like Fallon Co.?

(scoffs)
This isn't amateur hour.

Morell Green Energy Corporation?

My middle name.

A reminder that I can only
count on myself.

What about the guy backing you?

As you said, you're backing me.

I'm the one who needs to prove
my value in this market,

and I know how.

The city utility contract
is up for renewal this year.

It's worth a billion at least.

You want to poach
the city of Atlanta?

Hasn't C.A. had that contract
for, like, 60 years?

Well, imagine the headline:

"The home of Carrington Atlantic
powered by Morell Corp."

That's ambitious.

You don't hit a home run
without a big swing.

This would put us on the map.

It would show people
that clean energy

could scale up
in a big way.

And screw over your dad.

(chuckles) It's a win-win.

His new COO can
pick up the pieces.

So how exactly are we
gonna pull this off?

Oh, not "we," me.

Chris Pfeiffer runs point
on these things

over at the city council,
and he and I go back

to my C.A. days.
He loves me.

Enough to cross
Blake Carrington?

Oh, please. He would
leave his wife for me.

And his side piece.

Not that I'm offering.
I'm just saying.

It won't take much to get him
eating out of my hand.

(door closes)
Hey, sweetheart.

Anders said
you wanted to see me.

What's going on?

With everything that happened,
we missed Bora Bora.

So, plan B.

I've taken care
of the arrangements,

packed you a suitcase.

I'm even handling
the transportation.

Where are we going?

It's a surprise.

But I can give you
a preview of the itinerary.

Oh.

(chuckles)

Just so much
going on here.

Steven's charges
and now the robbery.

It's just not the
best time to go away.

And after this weekend,
we go back to work.

If we don't go away now,

we will be celebrating
our first anniversary

before we take
our honeymoon.

I don't know.

You're not Steven's lawyer.

You've told Stansfield
everything you can

about the robbery, and we'll
only be a phone call away.

You make a very
firm point.

Mm-hmm.

SAM: So when you
robbed the place,

did you find some
kind of cell phone?

(chuckles)
You know, I was wondering

when you'd come for it.

So you have it.
Yeah.

It was in one of the drawers
in the bedroom.

I was just grabbing things.

Figured we'd look through it
when it was time to sell.

Wait. You didn't sell it,
did you?

Not yet.

(chuckles) Relax, man.
I'm gonna cut you in.

No, man, I don't need a cut.
I need the phone.

They're looking for it
and for you,

and I think they'll stop
if they have it back.

I'll give you cash.

Can't be worth more
than a couple hundred.

You mean a couple
hundred grand, right?

I saw the video, man.

And since it
is your aunt,

I'll even give you
a little bit extra.

What video?

The one with your aunt
and the dead guy.

Let's just say
I didn't realize

they knew each other that well.

Or that she was so hot.

A sex tape?

You can't sell that.

Are you kidding me?

That's Kardashian-level
filmmaking right there.

We're gonna have a
bidding war for it.

Unless the Carringtons want
to pay fair market value.

I just got you a huge payday.
Now you're getting greedy.

I mean, that's easy to say
when you're living

in their mansion, isn't it?

Give me the phone.

Get my money by 5:00.

*

There you are.

Been trying Cristal,
but she's not picking up.

Whoa, slow down.
What happened?

Remember when I told you
I have some sketchy friends?

Stupid kid stuff,
I think you said.

Yeah. Well, it was
one of those stupid kids

who bling-ringed your house
the other night.

What? Did you know?

No.

I mean, I told him
about the gala,

but I thought he was just
coming for the free food.

Huh. And the free jewelry.

Sounds like a great friend.

I'll call Stansfield.

No, no. Listen.

It wasn't just jewelry.

There was a phone
in your dad's room--

Matthew's phone,

with a video of him
and my aunt.

He told me
he gave that phone back.

We need to come up with $200,000
in the next few hours,

or my aunt's sex tape

will be all over
the Internet.

Cristal didn't do anything,
and she's the one

who's gonna get hurt here.

AUTOMATED VOICE:
You have reached the cell phone

of Blake Carrington.
Press one...

I don't even know
where my dad is.

Well... what would he do?

BLAKE:
The hunting cabin.

Can't believe
you chose this place.

Of all the
Carrington properties,

this seemed
the most low-key.

I'm surprised you didn't
figure it out sooner.

Oh, I've always come in
by helicopter.

Well, just so you know,

we won't be killing
any animals on this trip.

But I thought it would be nice
to get out of the city.

Just you and me
and these trees.

Yeah, not one of them
a cell tower.

If you're good, I might
let you get on the Wi-Fi.

There is no Wi-Fi.

My grandfather built this place
to get away from it all.

We never put in Internet.

Even better!
More time for us.

Mm.

(phones ringing)

No wonder people choose
the private sector.

KORI:
Fallon?
(sighs)

Thank God.
There's no receptionist.

Kori Rucks.
I work with Councilman Pfeiffer.

You wouldn't happen to have
a real cup of coffee, would you?

(coin clinks)

Oh. That's a little too real.

I'm sorry,
I don't work for Chris.

I'm on the council--
district ten.

I'm told that
you're here

to discuss
the utility contracts.
Yes.

I know that Councilman Pfeiffer
is in charge of all that, so...

Actually, I'm
taking over.

So, if you're here
to talk energy, let's talk.

(chuckles)

Anders.

Join me for a time trial.

That would require sweat.

(laughs) Come on, man.

You know Blake is out of town
for the weekend.

You could lose a button or two.
Live a little.

As you know,
Mr. Carrington's very upset

about this robbery.
Yeah.

I could imagine. That was
a pretty nasty bump on his head.

Finding out who's responsible
is a high priority for him,

as it is for me.

So, if you
saw anything,

anything that you thought
might be a bit amiss...

Well, like I told the cops,
I wasn't really watching.

I imagine you had your
head in other matters.

Like Ms. Carrington.

I take it she didn't
see much, either.

You'll have to ask
Ms. Carrington.

Very well.

But if you should think of
something or hear anything,

let me know.

I don't have
to remind you

that this incident
doesn't reflect well

on those of us
who are employed here.

What does that mean?

It's just that we all have
a stake in putting this to bed,

especially those of us
with families that depend

on our salaries.

Anything specific
I should be listening out for?

Just the personal effects.

Mrs. Carrington's ring,
some watches, and a phone

of particular value
to Mr. Carrington.

All right.
I'll keep my ear to the ground.

And your mouth
off Fallon.

Morell Corp represents the
next generation of energy,

and Atlanta has a chance
to become a national model

for a green city.

We plan to take
clean power

and spread it up
and down the coast,

take it national
and then beyond.

So Atlanta's
just the first step.

Exactly.

Hmm.

I wish you the best of luck
with your new company,

but Atlanta is not
a means to an end.

This is my home, my city,
and now my responsibility,

not some pawn
in the Carrington family feud.

Well, I understand
the connotations

with the Carrington name,
but Morell Corp.

is an entirely different
company.

Well, whatever you call it,
you're still you,

and you haven't changed
since high school.

You went to Penley.

Oh, my God. (chuckles)

Of course. Kori.

You look so different.
Did you change your hair?

Come on, Fallon.

You can't expect me

to buy this "new year, new me"
bit, can you?

Maybe you can.

You seem to have the whole world
bowing at your feet.

I'm sure
you'll be fine

without Atlanta.

See you at
the ten-year reunion.

STEVEN:
I didn't know who else to call.

You did
the right thing.

This guy is a
friend of Sam's.

I don't know if you can
call that a friend, but...

he used Sam
to get into the house.

And he has the phone
with this video on it?

He's trying to extort my father,
but Dad is M.I.A.,

and we don't have
that much time.

How much does this guy want?

$200,000. That's easy.

But what if I get the phone
back and he's already

copied the video?
Right.

Why settle for one payday

if you can have two?

And, uh, the nephew?

No, Sam didn't have anything
to do with this.

He's tied up
with some bad people.

The best shot
at stopping this

is putting cuffs
on both of them.

Arresting Blake Carrington's
new nephew

would only invite questions.

Questions you don't want,
since you stole the phone first.

From evidence.

Look, I just want
all this to be over.

So I'll go in and buy the phone,
you come in and get this guy.

Silver spoon's first sting.

Your dad would be proud.

Let's just call this what it is.

This is you cleaning up
your own corruption.

You tampered with
a murder investigation

when you should have been
actually figuring out who did it

so that I don't go to prison
for a crime I didn't commit.

What exactly
do you want me to do?

Do your job.

Find out who really
killed Matthew.

Make it right.

JEFF: How could you
not remember Kori?

Well, I do now.

Didn't she have some weird
Hello Kitty obsession?

You still don't.

Maybe I should have been
your wingman, after all.

I'm glad you find
this funny,

but I am not losing
this contract, Jeff,

especially not over
a few hurt feelings.

You really think
it's just about high school?

Obviously.

Why don't you let me try?

Maybe I can
smooth things over.

Remind Kori that you're not
the whole company.

Kori Rucks?

Seriously?

You, too?

Fallon had a meeting
with her today.

Didn't know who she was.
(sighs)

I might have also asked her
to get me a cup of coffee.

What?
What?
I know.

I thought she was an assistant.

I'm fixing it.
No, actually, I am.

I'm gonna call her.

Good luck with that.

You know Kori does
not roll over easily.

Present tense?

You're still friends?
Yeah.

We went to MJQ last
weekend. I invited you.

Do you listen to
anything I say?

Don't take it personally.

Actually, Monica, what if
you invited her out tonight,

and I just
happened to be there?

She might be
a bit more receptive.

Well, with all due respect,
I'm the one who knows energy.

Yeah, let me
butter her up, okay?

Set the stage, then you come in.

And do all the heavy lifting.

Not that your part
isn't heavy, too.

I got to say,

I do not mind

not having an office yet.

We swimming or what?

Looks like the
Carringtons came through.

$200,000. It's all here.

Where's the phone?

How do I know that's it?

Show me the contacts
or something.

(moaning)

Okay, turn it off.

You swear this is
the only copy?

Even I have a code, okay?

Deal's a deal.

Don't spend it all in one place.

Back at you.

I'm sure Carrington's
errand boy pays pretty well.

You're the one
with 200 grand now.

I'm Robin Hood.

Everything okay?

Got it.

And the video?

He swears it's the only copy.
Do you believe him?

Look, screwed up as it sounds,
he's not a bad dude.

Why are you freaking out?

I got it. We're good.

Yeah, you can go in.

Yeah, I'll get you the phone
after you get my 200 grand back.

Who was that?

Stansfield.

What?

(vehicles approaching)

You didn't say anything
about cops.
Don't worry.

STEVEN: I told him you didn't
have anything to do with that.

Hey, if anything, you were
the one that solved it.

Let's get out of here.

OFFICER:
Go, go, go!

So, I know I said
no dead animals,

but since this one's
already here,

I thought I'd slip
into something

a little more comfortable.

Blake?

(sighs) Damn it!

What are you doing?

I missed a call from the office.

My damn phone
won't even ring out here.

Can't even call them back.

I can't even
get voice mail.

So, I'm standing here naked,
wrapped in an animal

that probably died
before I was born,

and you're calling the office?

Well, if you'd have told me
we were gonna be off the grid,

I would have planned
things differently.

I thought the surprise
would be romantic.

These are the first few days
we've had

just to be husband and wife,

and they might be the last ones
we have for a while.

Just want to enjoy them.

Don't you?

Of course, I do.
Good.

If I remember correctly,
there's a waterfall

(gasps)
a couple of miles
from here.

It's not a hot tub, but you
can't beat it for stargazing.

(squeals)
So, if you're up
for an adventure...

Always. I'll go change.

Hang on.

One minute.

Well, can we try for two?

SAM:
Why didn't you tell me

you had gone to Stansfield?

What kind of a friend
robs your aunt's house,

then tries to blackmail
her with a sex tape?

I'm not saying
that what he did was okay.

No, it was
technically illegal.

Have you ever broken a law?

I've never extorted anyone.

Because you haven't had to.

You don't know what it is like
to worry about making rent

or what you're gonna do
if your car breaks down.

Are you seriously suggesting
we should've just let him

get away with it?

Taken him at his word

that he's gonna stick
to the deal?

He's a-a criminal.
Why didn't you tell me
your plan?

Look, I didn't want
to make you lie in there.

I was trying
to protect you.

And who does that sound like?

I thought you were
the different one,

but now I see
the family resemblance.

Mr. Carrington.

You got two seconds for me?
(sighs) I'm already late.

Wait, what does this dress
say to you?

Bold? Demure?

Loud enough to command a room

yet still whisper
"top of the class at Wharton"?

Is that...?

Matthew's phone.

What, you took it?
No.

Sam's friend did when
he robbed our house.

It's a long story.

But Dad told me he'd given this
back to Stansfield.

Hmm. So, how'd you get it back?
Sam.

And 200 grand.

But you remember the photo of
Cristal and Matthew in the car?

(laughs) Yeah.

Well, there's a video on here

of them doing
way more than sitting.

Have you seen it?

I can't unsee it.

I don't even want to
know why Dad had it.

(laughs) Oh.

Well, at least
it's grainy.

Though she almost
looks hot upside down.

(Cristal giggles over video)

STEVEN:
Well, I got the phone back,

and I led Stansfield
to the robber.

Wait. You helped
Stansfield?

I helped everyone--
Dad, Cristal, Sammy Jo.

Well, what do you get?
What do you mean?

Well, you're on the hook for
a murder you didn't commit.

You should negotiate.
You give Stansfield the phone,

and he gives you
the alternate suspect

the lawyers
think you need.

I mean, as long as you're
complicit in police corruption,

you might as well work it.
I can't do that.

So if you simply hand over
the phone to Stansfield,

where does that leave you?
Back to square one.

No closer to figuring out
who killed Matthew,

and the FBI still thinks
I did it.

Yeah, especially if you're
the last one holding onto this.

It is a spectacularly bad time
for Dad to be out of town.

What did I just tell
you this morning?

We don't need
anybody but us.

Use what you've
got, Steven.

The sooner this
is all over,

the sooner you can get
back to saving the world,

and I can get back
to taking it over.

* BBSR
* BBSR... *

Be good in there.
I'll try.

Hey, why don't you
come with?

I need somebody

to keep me company
before I meet up with Jeff.

Ah, I didn't really
dress for the club.

You're with me.

No one'll be looking at you.

* When they can't buy the bar

* Swag out of this world,
come kick it with a star *

* And I might let you ride it
like a car *

* Like a car *

* Lambo

* Like a Lamborghini...

Do you see Jeff?
VIP's over there.

* Lambo, let me see you
get lower... *

I don't want Kori
to see me yet.

Not until Jeff
fluffs her,

gets her feeling a little
bit more generous.

Let's get a drink
at the bar.
Okay.

Ugh!

How do people live like
this-- waiting in line?

Uh, your Carrington's showing.

Southside?

No. Club soda.
I'm working.

Fallon Carrington. Hi.

Robby. What a surprise.

Yeah. Kori Rucks texted me
and told me to come out.

You remember Kori, right?

I didn't know you'd
be here tonight.
(sighs)

It's been a while,
hasn't it?

Like, seven and
a half months, yeah.

Oh, wow.
We're keeping track.
You know, I've been

texting you, and I know
you've been getting them.

About St. Barths?
I thought
that already happened.

It did, but I can
always go back.

What's your schedule like?
Um...

Robby, this is
my boyfriend, Michael.

Robby and I went
to school together.

It's like a reunion
up in here.

Did you go to,
uh, Penley, too?

Decatur.

Public.

Wow.

Uh, good for you, man.

And, uh, good to
see you, Fallon.

FALLON:
You, too.

(laughs)

MICHAEL:
Boyfriend?

Let's dance.

* And, baby,
you can count on me *

* There's no place
I'd rather be *

* And, baby, you should roll
with me, yeah, yeah *

* Baby, if I catch you,
it's a three and one *

* Can you tell that you're
dealing with a real one? *

* They don't have a life,
tell them to get one *

* And I don't have a girl,
well, maybe I should get one *

* Baby, it's true

* And everything I've been
planning just for you *

* Hey, all these dreams, baby,
let's make 'em true *

* Yeah, yeah,
baby, I have plans for you *

(phone chiming, vibrating)
* Baby, you can count on me

* There's no place
I'd rather be *

(phone chiming)
* And, baby,
you should roll with me... *

(chuckles)
I am blowing up.

(phone chimes, vibrates)

"Cristal Carrington Sex Tape"?
Is that real?

Oh, it's real.

How do you know?

Educated guess.
Excuse me.

I have to make
some calls.

Glad this is behind us.

Now, it's best
that doesn't make it back

to police headquarters.

Shouldn't make it back
to my father, either.

This is between us.

What are you doing?

You have your money back,
your friend is safe...

But I'm not.

I want to make sure there's
no misunderstanding here.

By giving you this,
I'm giving you a second chance.

It's an opportunity
to make things right.

Not just for me.

The Blaisdel family
deserves closure.

Matthew deserves justice.

That's your
responsibility now.

You want me to find the real
killer, but I already told you,

it's the FBI's
case now.

And I'm telling you,
I don't care.

Do your job.

Close the case.

Understood.

* Yeah, she's ready to go...

Have you seen this?

Oh, more than seen it.

Honestly, I did not expect
the landing strip.

Okay, don't be a perv.

Speaking of pervs,
did you see Robby Reid?

On his way out. He said
he met your boyfriend.

And here I was thinking
that you're not dating

because you're
a workaholic,

but you're just multitasking
by screwing your driver.

God, no. I just told him that
so he'd get off my back.

What? It worked.
(phone chiming)

(chuckles)
I'm sorry.

It just won't stop.

And what about
Kori and Jeff?

Aren't you supposed to swoop
in there and close that deal?

I know. I know.
I'll be right back.

*

I know Fallon has
her blind spots.

I hadn't noticed.

But I'm telling you,

if there's one thing she
does know, it's energy.

It's in her blood.

Of course. She's a Carrington.

But that's the problem.

The city of Atlanta is not gonna
be a pawn in their family feud.

This contract will determine

whether people can
keep their lights on,

and I don't trust
Fallon Carrington

to think of them when it counts.

Do you trust me?

You went into business with her.

That means
it's my business, too.

You know I'll do right
by you and by this city.

If you'll at least hear her out,

I promise I'll hold her
to her word.

I will, for you.

(laughs)

You know, I think my sister
invited her out tonight.

I'll get us
another bottle.

*

Yo. Where's Fallon?
And why are you drinking?

I thought you were her ride.

Not anymore.
Just tell your girlfriend
I'm looking for her, okay?

She's not my girlfriend.
Sure looked like she was
the other night at the gala.

Talk to Fallon, okay?

I've never gotten
a straight answer out of her.

Maybe you will.

Hey, wait up.

Why don't you join us
for a drink?

Okay.

Kori, this is
Michael Culhane.

He's a... friend.

KORI:
Mm.

A single friend?

I believe he is.

Can you just admit
that we're lost?

Well, I will admit that

I should've paid
for street lamps out here,

'cause I can't
see a damn thing.

Maybe I should look at the map.

Good luck.

So, the sun
set that way,

which means...

we've been going north
this whole time.

Blake, I told you we were
going in the wrong direction.

Look, we're probably all
the way over here now.

By this ranger station.

Well, maybe they can help us.

I'd be willing
to ask directions.

Do you seriously
expect me to believe

that you
accidentally led us

straight to the
ranger station?

Are you actually that desperate
to check your messages?

I told you it wasn't
a good time, but you insisted.

So you admit it.

You did bring us
here on purpose.

(laughs):
God!

I can't believe I
thought we could have

one whole day together
without the world pressing in.

(phone chiming)

Oh. And there it is.

(chiming continues)

Well, you came all
this way for service.

You might as well
have a look.

Oh, hell.

Oh, my God.

Did they find the robber?

Oh, my God.

What is this?

Looks like
it's you and Matthew.

All over the Internet.

(sighs)

CRISTAL:
Are you... filming me?

(giggles)

(moans softly)

(kissing)

(giggles)

(moaning continues)

CRISTAL:
Stop. Let me film you.

(reporters clamoring)

I want my lawyers here, now.

Waiting in the study, sir.

Perhaps we suggest they move in.

I'm sorry, what?!

Your "friend"
did that to me?

Ow.
How could you

let this happen, Sam?

I don't know.
I guess he had a fail-safe.

Or he lied and he had
already sold it.

(sighs) I'm sorry.

Steven didn't tell me he was
gonna get the cops involved.

(whispering):
You told Steven about this?

About the robbery?

Well, I had to.
I didn't have the money.

And I might have fudged
some of the details.

I told Steven

I didn't know
they were gonna rob the house.

So that's how
you didn't get arrested.

Well, I did it
to protect you, too.

If I told him I did it
and about my mom,

then he'd ask
what you knew.

And if he told Blake...

I-I thought I fixed it,
Cristal. I'm sorry.

What are they saying about me?

Cristal...

Just rip the
Band-Aid off, Sam.

(sighs)

"Million-Dollar Tramp."

"Naked Ambition."

And, uh, this one's
kind of clever:

"Private Relations."

Like, they crossed out "public."

It's charming.

I'm Atlanta's
biggest slut.

Well, I can't
speak to that, but...

looks like Fallon can.

WOMAN: Fallon, Fallon!
Can you comment on

the sex tape
that's just surfaced?

Uh, well, I know
about as much as you do.

You know, I can't comment
on somebody else's proclivities.

I think those are questions
for the movie star.

That bitch.

(phone vibrating)

Willy.

WILLY:
Uh, I wasn't sure you'd pick up.

I've tried everyone.

Stansfield hung up on me.

The FBI won't even call me back.

The FBI? What's going on?

You've seen this tape of Matthew
and Cristal, haven't you?

Unfortunately.

Has Claudia?

Yeah, she's seen it.

I just got back from her house.
She's a mess.

She may not be able
to fight for herself,

but you can be damn sure
I'm gonna fight for her.

This tape-- i-it's motive.

Blake didn't want his new wife's
old boyfriend hanging around.

Wait.

You still think
my dad killed Matthew?

It wasn't you.

You were Matthew's friend.

Maybe the only good one
left in that house.

Where are you right now?
I'm coming to meet you.

(saw buzzing)
As I've told
everyone else,

this is between
my father

and his surprisingly flexible
new bride.

It's a private family matter.

About as private as a circus.

Hey.

What happened to you
last night?

I came to find you.
You were gone.

Well, I had
every newspaper in Atlanta

calling me
about Cristal's porno.

I texted you.

That's why you bailed
on our plan?

To give interviews about
your stepmother's sex tape?

You took your eye off the prize
to take a swipe at Cristal.

You really can't
help yourself, can you?

Well, she's not
just my stepmother.

She's also the new COO
of our main competition

of this new deal
we're trying to strike.

That's right. We.

And I was there
for you, Fallon.

I put myself on the line
for a deal you had to have.

But you made me
look like an idiot,

because you're only
out for yourself.

Must be genetic.

And speaking of our main
competition, congratulations.

Carrington Atlantic
lost the contract.

Kori just called me.

Wait, we got it?

No. Southern Power did.

The Morell Corp
presentation

wasn't concrete enough
for the city council.

That was all you,
remember?

I'm guessing you didn't
play team sports as a kid.

But we're supposed
to be in this together.

You're no longer the only one
who pays for your mistakes.

Willy?

It's Steven.

(ringtone playing, vibrating)

(ringtone and vibrating stop)

Hello?

CRISTAL:
I just can't believe it.

Toxicology will confirm

his death looks like a suicide.

He had a bottle
of sleeping pills next to him.

And there was a note

claiming responsibility
for the Windbriar explosion.

That doesn't make sense.

Willy called me,

and I didn't see a note.

One of my detectives
discovered it in the bedroom.

And it seems Willy was angry
at Carrington Atlantic

for twice denying him
a promotion.

So he killed Matthew?

Apparently he didn't intend to.

He was trying to
sabotage the operation

and damage
Carrington Atlantic equipment.

His friend Matthew

was collateral damage,
it seems.

And then seeing
his name dragged

through the mud
these last 24 hours--

it was too much.

Does the FBI know about this?

They've already
been alerted.

And, um, they're
confirming his story,

but it's just
a formality.

And once the toxicology
comes out,

charges against you
will be dropped.

The Horse Whisperer
rides again.

BLAKE:
What about Claudia?

Has anyone spoken to her?

We're sending someone over now.

Oh, my God.

It's not how we expected
this to end,

but at least...

she'll finally
have some closure.

Hey.

I don't understand.

It's been a rough day,
hasn't it?

While I'm here...

I believe
you have something for me.

BLAKE:
Hey.

You okay?

No.

I was there.

I saw Willy, and I
didn't see a note.

And what, then Stansfield's guy
just happens to find one?

That lets us all
off the hook?

If anything, shouldn't I be
more of a suspect?

I was the one that found him.

What are you
trying to say, Steven?

Just...

It seems off.

A week ago, Willy
was in this house,

accusing you of
killing Matthew.

Why would he suddenly
admit it now?

Guilt is
an unpredictable animal.

Or Stansfield is.

I know you're shaken right now.

We've all been
through the wringer.

But Stansfield is not a bad guy.

He's only helped this family.

(chuckles):
Whoa.

Did someone go a little too
hard at the club last night?

No, I'm just beat.

Ugh. Me, too.

And if I have to take one more
call to comment on this video...

It's not even news anymore.
Even I'm over it.

Are you?

Sorry?

Well, you took that phone,
didn't you?

You leaked the video.

I didn't take the phone.

(scoffs)
You're like a human bulldozer.

And you'll crush anyone.
Please.

Cristal's a big girl, Michael.

She doesn't need you
defending her.

Maybe someone should defend the
world from Fallon Carrington.

The way you treat her,

the way you treated Kori...

Kori?

You just don't see other people.

Kori just hates me because
I was a bitch in high school.

And I was a bitch because when
your mom leaves in the middle

of sophomore year, it kind of
messes with your head.

I mean, if I didn't defend
myself, who would've?

That is heartbreaking.

But it was
almost ten years ago.

Maybe you should stop
blaming your mom

and try to figure out
why you're so screwed up now.

(door opens)

Hey.

I'm sorry I didn't get a
chance to congratulate you.

I was actually coming
to apologize to you.

What you said yesterday,
about my privilege--

you were right.

I should have been honest.

I was trying
to protect you, but...

I just ended up
hurting more people.

Don't feel too bad.

You were right about that guy.

I shouldn't have
trusted him.

But the thing is...
I should've been arrested, too.

What? Why?

Because I set it up.

I told him to steal
my aunt's ring.

Are you kidding me?

I know.

But my mom needed money,
fast, and I panicked.

You're the reason
that all of this has happened?

It got out of control.
And I needed you to help me,

and I didn't think you would
if I told you the truth.

You're damn right I wouldn't.
I know how much

you hate being lied to; that's
why I wanted to come clean.

What, you think
that fixes this?

I did all of this help you,

and now you're telling me
that it's all your fault?

I know. I'm sorry.

Well, I don't accept that.

And I get now why your aunt
didn't want you here.

The press isn't going away.

I think I need
to make a statement.

I'm not gonna
make you do that again.

Let the FBI tell
them about Willy.

It's not about Willy.

I didn't get a say
in this thing

getting out.

I should have told you
about the phone.

I should have told you
about the robbery.

After the fact,

Sam told me
that it was his friend

and that he was involved.

And I should have told you,
but he's a good kid, Blake.

He made a mistake.

Well, on any other day,
I would probably be upset,

but.. I made a mistake, too.

Do you remember the day

we took our engagement photos
and Matthew came to the house?

Of course.

And I told you
we didn't argue.

Well, he threatened me
with blackmail.

He said that you
would not marry me

if you knew what
kind of man I was.

Blackmail you with what?

Steven. Look, you know
that before Steven ran off

to dig wells in Haiti that
he was with the company.

He didn't want the job,

and I pushed him
up the ladder too fast.

Out in the
field one day,

he missed a faulty
pressure valve,

and he signed off
on the inspection.

Oh, my God.

Later, when they
put it online,

the pressure shook
the rig, a man fell off

and snapped his neck.

How come I never
heard about this?

Matthew was the field
engineer on site.

I asked him to write it off
as a structural defect.

You covered it up.

And Matthew claimed to have
a record of it on his phone.

So, I knew if Steven
ever found out

he had something to do
with the man's death,

he would never have
stopped blaming himself.

NEWSWOMAN: But the victim
is described as...

BLAKE:
I was trying to protect him.

I-I ended up
sacrificing you.

I'm-I'm so
sorry, Cristal.

I understand.

I was just trying
to protect Sam.

That's what family does.

No matter how hard
or how much it hurts.

We stand by them.

*

But you and I...

...I don't want us
to have secrets.

I want to trust you,
and I want you to trust me.

Can we start again?

Clean slate?

No more lies.

No more lies.
