Yes, that's pretty, isn't it?

Blake. I wasn't expecting you.

Well, we were just having a little father-daughter chat.

Hello, darling.

Excuse me,

but Kristina's bath is ready, Mr. Carrington.

All right, Martha.

Hey, you're going to get your bath.

Bye-bye, darling.

Oh, such a good girl.

I, uh...

I've stayed away the past few days, Krystle,

because I wanted to give you some time to think.

Come home, please.

I want you to come back.

Do you understand why I left?

All I understand is that the two people I love most in the world

aren't at home with me, where they belong.

Blake, love is trusting one another.

I've told you that my relationship with Ashley Mitchell

is merely a casual, friendly business relationship.

And my relationship with Daniel Reece is just as innocent.

But you can't believe that, can you?

No, I can't.

Blake, how can we have a marriage,

a loving home, if you won't believe me?

The baby needs us both. I need you.

Can't we start over again?

I'm willing to forget whatever has happened.

Are you? Well, that's very generous of you.

But I'm afraid I need more than that.

I need you to trust me, to believe me.

You'd better go, Blake.

You look as if you were expecting a firing squad.

Well, I'm just a little surprised that you called me in.

Mr. Fuller, I have a reputation that is unpredictable,

devious and manipulative.

I cherish that reputation because it keeps my enemies off guard.

You can relax, I'm not your enemy.

And I certainly don't want to be yours.

Good.

Then let's get down to business.

I want you to come back to Colbyco.

Why?

Good men are hard to find.

You were excellent at your job,

and I happen to know that you haven't found a comparable position.

Tell me, Mrs. Dexter, did Steven put you up to this?

No, he didn't.

I want you to come back.

It could be very awkward.

I must confess that Steven is part of the reason.

His happiness is very important to me.

Right now, I think that he's searching for that happiness,

and I think that you are a part of that search.

I want him to know that whatever he does,

whatever he decides,

I will love him and support him.

Are you always this supportive of Steven's relationships, Mrs. Dexter?

If you're referring to his marriage to Claudia, no, not at first.

But when I saw how much she cared about him,

how much they loved each other,

then I gave my total support.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Accept my offer. Don't disappoint me.

If Blake makes the first move, Alexis makes a counter-move.

And back and forth it goes.

But now I'm the one in the middle.

My father made his gesture, Luke.

He may not have opened his arms, but he did open the door.

So now my mother feels she has to try to match him.

They compete over everything, right now it happens to be you and me.

Well, she did offer me the job,

but I told her I wouldn't accept it until I talked to you.

You have your career to think about.

I have you to think about.

Having so many choices can be a-

A mixed blessing?

I guess that's the phrase.

Steven.

Let's go somewhere else.

Take the job, Luke.

Claudia. - What?

Haven't you had enough?

- Please, Adam, not now. - Yes, now.

I'm worried, and I won't stand by and watch you withdraw

and get depressed again.

You have a future.

It's time to let go of the past. Divorce him.

You can fly to Mexico, and within a few hours you can be free.

Do it.

For your own sake.

You know what your problem is?

You need people.

Ashley, that's exactly what I don't need.

Between each and every Carrington popping in,

and friends flying in and out of Denver to wish me a cheery hello,

I don't have any time for myself, and that's exactly what I need.

I need time to think.

All right. I'll call you later.

Ashley.

The doctor said I could get out of here in a day or so.

Well, I should I think that would make you overjoyed, and you're not.

Why not?

I don't know.

I really don't know. I just feel that l...

I should feel better, Ashley.

Well, it's perfectly normal to feel depressed after an operation.

In a few days, you'll be back to your old self.

Will l?

- Ashley. - Blake.

- Morning - Hello.

How is Dominique today?

Actually, I think you're probably just the medicine she needs.

Why don't we have lunch after your visit

and I'll bring you up to date on Dominique's surprise party?

Not today, I'm sorry. I have a 1:00 that I can't get out of.

Tomorrow then?

This is a very bad week for me.

Blake, I think you're avoiding me. Why?

I'm a photographer. I read faces.

Yours is no exception.

I know there's trouble between you and Krystle.

I've seen her at La Mirage.

I hope I'm not the cause of any problems?

Thank you very much for your concern,

but whatever problems Krystle and l might have, we'll work them out.

I'd better get up and see Dominique

or I'm gonna be late for an appointment.

I'll be in touch, Blake. Bye.

These bridesmaids dresses are dreadful, Amanda.

And not at all suitable for the sort of wedding you're going to have.

I wish you'd stop fussing about this wedding.

Darling, the marriage was my idea,

but nobody's holding a gun to your head.

Then I can just call it off?

Any fool can do that, darling.

But why would you want to?

Prince Michael loves you.

And whether you believe it or not,

I think that you're starting to fall for him.

But I'm not in love with him.

And how can you, of all people, want me to marry a man I don't love?

What I want in my marriage is to be passionately in love.

Darling, there's more to marriage than passion.

Believe me, I know.

Only once have I let my heart overrule my head.

And that was with Blake Carrington. I met him, I married him a month later,

and look what happened.

No, don't throw away a brilliant marriage

for the sake of an infatuation with a man you can never have.

What man?

Darling, I've seen that look of unrequited love before.

Forget him.

Concentrate on a man who loves you and who can give you everything.

So when are you seeing Michael again?

Blake is taking us to dinner tomorrow night.

Hold onto him, darling.

Believe me, a real man who loves you is much better than a fantasy lover.

How about you, Claudia?

What are you going to do?

Oh, I'll probably spend another sleepless night trying to figure out

what happened between Steven and me.

What went wrong.

And thinking about a future I'm not sure I'm ready for.

If you need me, you call.

- Oh, Dex. - Claudia.

Krystle, I have to talk to you. Would you excuse us?

Yeah, sure. Night.

What did you find out, Dex?

Daniel didn't make it.

He's in a prison camp in Paraguay.

Try to escape again, senor, and there will be no trial.

You'll be shot, comprende?

Claudia, Gerard told me you were here.

Yes, I thought of calling you,

but I didn't want to tell you what I have to say over the phone.

Tell me what?

I'm going to Mexico.

- A divorce there- - A divorce?

Steven, I think it's the only thing to do.

I don't.

Claudia...

We need more time to think about what's happened to us.

How much we've meant to each other.

But we're not thinking, we're brooding and we're suffering.

I've learned how unhealthy that can be.

Oh, Steven, try and understand

that I'm trying to leave a failed marriage

with as much dignity as I can.

Part of me wants to change your mind.

Claudia, any time you wanna see Danny, it's okay.

I'm sorry about all of this.

I am too.

I really am.

- Claudia, what is it? - It's nothing, Blake.

Steven, what's the matter with Claudia?

She's going to Mexico to file for divorce.

It'll be final by the time she returns.

Damn it, why didn't you stop her? Is that what you want?

That's what she wants, Dad.

I'll talk to her, convince her that you both need more time.

Dad, this is between Claudia and me.

This affects the entire family.

If she goes, what's left?

Luke and l.

You told me you'd accept me for what I am and how I want to live.

Have you changed your mind already, Dad?

I told you I'd stand by you, Steven.

I've never broken a promise to my family,

and I never will.

Daniel was captured trying to cross the border here.

- And taken to the prison here? - Yeah, with very tight security.

But we have a contact there who informed us

that they're gonna transport Daniel by truck

over this road back to the capital to stand trial.

Then we've got to move.

I'll leave on the next plane, you make the arrangements.

Then it's a question of watch and wait.

Wait for what?

Let me know when you're ready.

Mrs. Dexter.

Good afternoon.

Ready for what?

Nothing, Alexis.

You've always been dangerous when you're quiet, Dex.

That's one of the things that attracts me about you.

But right now, I think it's your plans that are dangerous.

I want you to change them.

You know,

sometimes I almost think you really do love me, Alexis.

And I don't want to lose you.

Not even you can change my mind on this one.

Just watch me.

I've gotta go back.

Thank you for a wonderful evening, Daddy.

It was a pleasure.

Thank you, I've really enjoyed the restaurant and the company.

I have classes tomorrow and it's late. Good night, Michael.

- Good night, Daddy. - Good night, darling.

Well, would you care and join me for a brandy, Michael?

Thank you.

- My country may be small, Mr. Carrington,

but our problems aren't.

My father is trying to encourage constitutional reform.

Yes, I know. He's to be commended.

Ideas are cheap, Mr. Carrington. All kinds of people have them.

But making them work, that's different.

You have the authority, the backing of Parliament.

On paper, at least.

But there's another kind of paper, currency.

And the very wealthy of my country

have no desire to redistribute that wealth.

Now, Mr. Carrington,

you didn't ask me in here to talk politics.

No, I didn't.

Sit down, won't you?

Thank you.

Tell me, why I should approve of your marrying my daughter?

Because I love her.

But does she love you?

Yes, she does.

She may not know it yet, but she does.

She'd be marrying a man that she hardly knows,

moving to a country that is hardly stable.

And free to return home any time she likes,

if she becomes at all unhappy.

Michael, until I'm convinced that Amanda is happy,

that the marriage is based on love, not merely on convenience,

I'm afraid I can't give you my approval, nor my blessing.

Amanda is beautiful, bright, wilful,

and very spoiled.

I do, however, love her.

And I will marry her,

and I will make her happy.

You know, Steven, I never claimed to be a good cook,

but I at least thought my food was edible.

I'm just not hungry, I guess.

Steven, Claudia is doing what she has to do.

She's-

She's hurting, and she's trying to protect herself.

I know that.

Believe me, Steven, she's doing what's right for both of you.

I wonder,

is she?

- Who's there? Adam.

Oh, Adam.

Claudia, my God, what's wrong?

I needed you.

I need you now.

Make love to me, Adam.

Tell me that's not the sunrise.

I'd be lying.

We have a plane to catch.

No, no, no. Close your eyes.

Pretend it's still night.

I never thought I could feel like this.

I never thought that making love could make me feel this way.

As much as I've loved other men,

nobody's ever made me feel the way you do.

I owe you one.

We're not out of this yet.

Come on, let's move it.

Come on.

Just leave them on the railing. Thanks.

Ashley.

Oh, thank you. It's so lovely.

Welcome back to the world, Dominique.

Oh, God, Ashley.

Come on, I'll help you to your room.

Oh, dear, I wish everyone would stop telling me what to eat, when to sleep.

There are some things I can do for myself,

if everyone would just leave me alone for one minute.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry, darling.

First day out of the hospital. She's just tired, I'm sure.

I know. She'll be fine.

You've been such a good friend, so very helpful.

Thank you very, very much.

I'm sorry.

I'll come back at another time.

Krystle, wait.

My beloved mother would have been shocked.

Why? Because you've given her jewels to another woman?

No, no, no.

Because the girl who wears them is more beautiful than the jewels,

and as beautiful as she.

She was somewhat conceited, if deservedly so.

With that smile, you'll conquer my country.

Just as I have you?

Just as you have me.

You may have been conquered, Michael, but I haven't.

Sex is not part of our arrangement.

Still saving yourself for that phantom lover of yours?

I'm here. Where is he?

The only reason that you're here with me

is because you've made a deal with Colbyco.

That doesn't mean you can have me.

You'll love the winters in Moldavia.

They're as cold as ice.

Just like you.

Will there be anything else, Mrs. Dexter?

No, thank you, Lin. That'll be all.

My apologies, Mrs. Dexter.

You prepared a wonderful meal and I'm-

I'm afraid I've rather spoiled it.

Michael, I don't prepare meals, I simply order them.

I wanted this to be special,

but here's to other enchanting evenings with my future son-in-law.

I wonder.

Don't you believe in happy endings?

Happy endings all require some sort of beginning.

Amanda may be hot-tempered, short-sighted and rude,

but she's also passionate, and in love with love.

She'll come around.

One of the privileges of royalty

is that people usually wait for me to come around.

Don't tell me that you're throwing in the towel?

Conceding defeat?

I have never given up anything, Mrs. Dexter.

Well, since neither of you like to concede defeat,

I'd say you were the perfect pair, wouldn't you?

Why don't you pour us an after-dinner drink.

Well, that's a good idea.

Huh.

You, uh, live with your work, don't you?

It's never let me down.

It's my passion.

Actually, I think it's a perfect relationship.

That's how you met your husband, wasn't it?

Yes, at a photo session.

I gave up photography as a profession after we were married,

but I still kept it as a hobby.

Thanks.

These are very good.

Blake's a complex man. You've captured every mood.

He's quite a wonderful subject.

You seem to focus on older men.

Maynard, Blake.

Well, they have character, depth, experience.

And what about younger men?

Don't we deserve a chance?

Daniel.

Oh, thank God you're alive.

You could have been killed.

But even with a bum leg,

bullets screaming past your ear tend to make you run a little bit faster.

The most terrifying moment was in that jail cell alone at night,

afraid I might die without ever seeing you again.

- Daniel- - That's what kept me alive.

No matter what, I'd have found my way back.

Nothing can keep me from you.

What's important is that you and Dex are safe.

No, what's important is that we're back together.

- Oh, Daniel- - Krystie, look at me.

Fate kept me alive, fate brought us back together.

You're on your own now. You're free.

I love Blake.

And whatever problems we might have, they're temporary.

I believe in my marriage.

When you opened that door, what did I see in your eyes?

What did I hear in your voice?

What you saw and heard was joy at your being alive.

I care for you, Daniel,

but I love Blake.

Then why are you here?

Whether you want to admit it or not, Krystie,

you're turning away from Blake.

And no matter how hard you try to fight it, you're turning to me.

I want you to be the woman you want to be.

And I'll wait for that woman if it takes the rest of my life.

Lin, who sent this package?

I did, Alexis.

Dex.

And what exactly were you doing in Rio?

Oh, I was doing a little shopping.

And I caught a plane to fly home to you.

Oh, Dex, Dex.

Oh, I missed you so much.

I missed you too.

Aren't you gonna open your present?

Of course.

And I forget to do

The little ordinary things

That everyone ought to do

- Who is it? Ashley.

Ashley, come in.

Dominique, why aren't you dressed?

What in the world are you talking about?

I told you we're having dinner with Blake.

Oh, I really don't feel like that.

Now, Blake is not gonna take no for an answer.

He checked with your doctor, he sent a car for us,

and he wants his very glamorous sister to be at his house right now.

Dominique's not here yet.

- Got a minute? - Yeah, what is it?

I wanna talk to you about Claudia.

Steven, you and I have known each other ever since we were kids, l-

I feel like we're brothers.

I know that Claudia's going to be here tonight.

Jeff, you can say anything you want to about Claudia.

That doesn't mean I have to listen.

I'm sick and tired of listening to everybody's advice.

I know how you feel, Steven.

It's happened to me.

- With Fallon? - Yeah.

I mean, one day she disappears and the next thing I know,

she comes back from Haiti and we're divorced.

I felt so angry at what I considered betrayal, I turned my back on her.

Don't turn your back on Claudia,

don't be the one to drive her into Adam's arms.

Okay, okay.

Don't do that to Claudia.

Well, I'll consider not doing that to Claudia.

Now, I'm serious. Now, for God's sakes, you've gotta remember

what Claudia did for you when you were about to lose Danny.

And you know Adam.

The guy moves in on another man's woman every chance he can get.

He did it to me with Kirby.

Our live-in opportunist who's doing it to me right now with Claudia.

Yes.

Jeff, do you think for one minute I haven't appealed to Claudia?

I've told her she can see Danny any time she wants.

I begged her not to divorce me, to wait, not to do anything impulsive.

All my appeals fell on deaf ears.

She's made her own bed, she can lie in it.

Even if Adam's lying in it with her.

I seem to remember that smile somewhere.

Oh, this is wonderful. Blake, I'm stunned.

- You look beautiful. - Thank you.

Thank you for coming. I know how difficult it must be for you to be here.

I wanted to be here for you.

Will you join me later and make it a clean sweep?

I never make any really important decisions until I've had my fill of caviar.

Claudia, when did you get back?

Last night.

So are we divorced?

Yes, we are.

And what part did you play in all this, Adam?

Steven, please.

Tell me something, how long did it take you to talk her into the divorce?

One night?

I didn't have to talk her into anything.

Steven, please.

I'm sorry you were put through that.

You look especially beautiful this evening.

Stop it.

I've had just about enough of this, Amanda.

Look, I've already told you.

very well.

You want me to leave you alone? You just got your wish.

- Michael, people are looking. - Well, let them look.

There's absolutely nothing to see.

It's over between us, Amanda.

It's finished.

Amanda.

Amanda.

Amanda, darling, what is it?

Oh, Daddy, please, just let me be alone.

- But- - Blake, let her go.

She needs to be alone.

Perhaps you're right.

But then I always think you're right.

You used to.

Oh, Krystle.

Let's forget our differences. Let's forget about Daniel Reece.

Let's forget everything, can't we?

It would mean so much to me.

Blake, Daniel's back.

- He's been hurt. - You've seen him?

Well, yes, he came to see me after he returned.

He obviously knew where to find you, didn't he?

Blake, I'm trying to tell you that Daniel-

You're trying to tell me he's been after something all along, you.

Well, yes, he has, but-

Well, maybe I'm talking to the wrong person.

Maybe I should be talking to him.

Hello.

Reece, this is Blake Carrington.

I tried to reach you all last night.

- Why? - You and I have got to talk.

I'm on my way to the airport. I don't have time.

Then make time. This has gotta be settled now.

You don't listen well, Blake.

I said I'm on my way to the airport.

I'm sorry, Mr. Reece, but he insisted.

It's all right, Burt, I'll take care of it.

I'm on my way to Portland, Blake. You'd better get out.

I don't give a damn where you're going.

I'm not getting off this plane

until we've settled things between us once and for all.

You tried to break up our marriage.

But it didn't work.

Now stay the hell our of our lives.

Excuse me, Mr. Reece, the tower says weather's moving in.

Either we take off now or we're gonna be grounded for several hours.

- Well? - I haven't finished with you yet.

Let's go.

All right, close it up.

I'm sick and tired of you waiting for my marriage to crumble.

You thinking you could take my wife away from me.

Except that she'd never go with you, never.

- Why, because you ordered it? - Because I know Krystle.

You know what she thinks, what she feels,

what she needs, when she hurts.

Is she happy, Blake?

She was until you showed up.

I offered Krystle her freedom.

You offered her nothing.

You've wrapped her in dreams, your dreams.

Tried to make her over into your image.

Krystle only wants to think for herself.

Tell me something, what are you worried about?

Are you afraid that when she does,

she'll finally see you for what you really are?

Krystle knows who I am, I've always been honest with her.

She would never leave me. And by God, I will never let her go.

Forget it.

You wanted to settle this? It's settled, I'm taking her.

Like hell you are.

My wife is not up for grabs.

What's going on back there?

Mr. Reece, are you all right?

Grab the controls. The pilot's out cold.

Cut the throttle.

Our air speed is too high.

Get him off the controls so I can pull the nose back up.

His arm is jammed in the wheel.

Pull him back so I can get ahold of the wheel.

I can't get him off the controls!

His leg must be caught.

We're losing too much air speed. We're going to stall.

We've gotta level this thing out or we're gonna go in.

We're not gonna make this next ridge.

Brace yourself.

We're going in.
