All language subtitles for Dynasty S07E05 The Arraignment

- Hello, darling.
- Oh, Blake.

Are you all right?
They wouldn't tell me anything.

Yes, yes, I'm fine.

I didn't want you to come.
I didn't want you to see me this way.

What are they doing
to get you out of here?

Earl Thompson's arranging bail now.

Damn it.

It just doesn't make sense.
I'm not a murderer.

But there are people around who think
I'm guilty whether there's proof or not.

But there's no proof of anything,
just accusations in the Mirror.

Yes, Alexis is lying,

just the way she did in court
about my mother's death.

Well, they may have believed her then
but not now.

I'm going to prove
that she has been lying.

Oh, Earl.

I'm sorry, Blake.
They won't buy it, no bail.

They won't? Why not?

I've tried. The judge won't decide
until the arraignment.

Blake.

I'm sorry.

Well, there's gotta be something
we can do.

Darling, we'll get this whole thing
straightened out by tomorrow.

But I think, in the meantime,

you ought to go back to the hotel
and get a good night's sleep.

Blake, l...

What is it, darling? What's wrong?

Nothing,
I'm just a little light-headed, that's all.

Here, sit down.

Well, you know
this isn't the first time on this.

Blake, I'm just tired.

Now listen to me.

No matter how long it takes,

I'm going to deal with this
and I'm going to win.

But if anything were to happen to you,
I don't think I could survive that.

Now please,
go to see a doctor, will you?

Promise me that.

That's fine. Send her in.

Good morning, Mr. Ferguson.

I understand that congratulations
are in order.

Congratulations for what,
Mrs. Colby?

On your very bright political future
in this state.

That's a bit premature,
don't you think?

Not if you win your case
against Blake Carrington,

with the Mirror behind you.

Our office has a strong case now.

With Blake Carrington,
you need more than a strong case.

You need an air-tight one.
As his brother and I proved in court,

he's been getting away with murder
for years.

- We've got him nailed, Mrs. Colby.
- Good.

Because I know he's guilty,
and I will stake my reputation

and the reputation of my newspaper
against it.

Now, if you've got the proof,
then I think it's about time

you shared it with the good people
of Denver, don't you think?

Mrs. Colby, we don't release evidence
before a trial.

Fine, then you can just share it
with me.

I can't.

Look, this case can change your life
for the better.

If I think that you've got
a strong case,

my newspaper will make your name
a household word.

- Would this be off the record?
- Absolutely.

Carrington had the motive.

He's practically bankrupt,
he needs to raise capital

and La Mirage was heavily insured.

He leaves the hotel
just before the fire starts.

- That is not enough to convict him.
- There's more.

On Carrington's orders, his manager
hired a known arsonist, Frank Marin.

"Marin." Go on.

He hired him
after Carrington was turned down

by the first arsonist he approached.

The first arsonist?

That's right.
A professional named Crane.

Hard at work, as usual.

That's what I'm here for.

It looks like your day is off
to a pretty good start.

Well, I just came
from the DA's office.

It seems he has quite a case
against Blake.

The manager of La Mirage
is willing to testify

that Blake forced him
to hire Frank Marin.

And if that doesn't work,

Ferguson's got the name of another
arsonist that Blake tried to hire.

- What more could we ask for then?
- Credibility.

It's all too pat.

Alexis, you want Blake convicted,
don't you?

Well, Dan Crane
is just the man who can-

I never mentioned his name.

Look, you wanna nail the coffin shut?
We do it with him.

No, Ben, because Dan Crane
is your creation.

Now, Ferguson has built
this entire case on your lies.

Blake never approached Dan Crane.

But they'll believe he did.

You are running the risk
of having this case thrown out of court.

All I'm doing is insuring that Blake
can't escape. He's boxed in, Alexis.

I know that Blake is guilty.

And once that is proved,

then everyone is going to know
that I have been the victim.

But we are going to do it
with the truth.

And you may have jeopardised
that chance.

Well, the x-rays confirm
our original findings.

Physically, there's nothing wrong.

I'm not just imagining this dizziness.

Krystle, our bodies react
to tension and stress,

and right now I think yours
is trying to tell you to slow down.

Well, I understand
what you're saying but I can't.

Not with everything that's happening
to Blake now.

Well, if you want the dizziness
to go away,

you're going to have
to get some rest.

I know you're right and I'll try.

It's just that my husband needs me
and I'm gonna be there for him.

I'll be in touch, doctor.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Dominique,
I was just going to call you.

Krystle, Amanda told me
about Blake being arrested.

How is he?

Krystle?

Krystle?

Krystle, what is it?

I'm sorry,
I had something else on my mind.

Um, Blake's fine.

Would you excuse me for a moment?
I'm gonna check on Kristina.

Yes. Yes, of course, I will.

All right now, listen,
there's no time for this.

I'll rest later, I promise.

- I have nothing to say to you.
- Good, then you can just listen.

One thing about jail is you don't have
to see unwanted visitors.

If you care about your children, Blake,
then you'll listen to me.

What about the children?

I know you blame me
for all your problems,

but it's your fault, Blake.

You set yourself up
as some kind of god.

You wanted everybody to live
by your rules.

Is this what you've come here for,
a lecture?

You've lost everything and in your eyes
you're still accusing me.

I haven't lost everything.

I can still do one thing
that you could never do, tell the truth.

Ha, ha. The truth?

Ask the relatives of the people who
died in the fire about your kind of truth.

I had nothing to do with that fire
and you know it.

Look, I have a proposition for you.

Even though I believe
you're guilty as hell,

I am willing to mount a campaign
in my newspaper

to have all charges against you
dropped

if you leave Denver
and never see the children again.

Leave them to you?

What's the matter, Alexis?
You beginning to run scared?

If this case goes to trial,
Blake, and it will,

and you're convicted,
which you will be,

the children will suffer.
Is that what you want?

You're not worried about the children,
you're worried about yourself.

You're scared to death
when they find out about your lies,

that one by one,
they'll turn their backs on you.

They'll never do that.

Oh, yes, believe me, they will.

Then you'll really know
what it means to lose everything.

The money, the power,
none of that is important.

But the children,

when they won't have anything
to do with you,

you'll have nothing left to live for.

I'm giving you a chance
to save you neck.

You'd better look out for your own neck,
you're about to hang yourself.

- Blake.
- Yes?

I don't know how to tell you this,

but, uh, Ferguson is talking
plea bargaining.

Plea bargaining? Absolutely not.

Earl, I've told you I am innocent.
Now, do you believe me?

Blake, as your attorney, I'm bound
to pass this information on to you.

Now, all other charges will be dropped
if you plead guilty to arson

- and manslaughter.
- No, absolutely not, never.

All right.

If you gentlemen are ready,
let's proceed.

Your Honour, as Mr. Carrington
has pleaded not guilty as charged,

forcing the people to proceed to trial,

we request that the accused be held
without bail.

May I remind Mr. Ferguson

that Mr. Carrington is
one of Denver's leading citizens.

Who is on trial for a capital offence.

Arson and murder, Mr. Thompson,
several counts.

Who is innocent until proven guilty.

Your Honour,
Mr. Carrington has lost everything,

his home, his business, his fortune.

Clearly, there's nothing left to keep him
from fleeing to avoid prosecution.

Except his innocence, Your Honour,

which we eagerly look forward
to proving at Mr. Carrington's trial.

Innocence, Mr. Thompson?

We're not debating the freedom
of an innocent man.

Mr. Carrington is a convicted felon.

Convicted of voluntary manslaughter
in the violent death of Ted Dinard.

Objection, Your Honour,
that was five years ago.

There were mitigating circumstances
and it has no relevance.

Mr. Thompson,
I've come to my decision.

Bail is denied.

Blake Carrington,
you will be held over without bail

until the date
of your preliminary hearing.

Busy, busy place you got here.

Yeah, they're working up a real sweat
out there, uh, moving that oil rig.

Heard a couple of guys, they were
talking about, uh, Blake Carrington.

Does he have anything to do with
what's, uh, you know, going on here?

These things?

- Hey, look, all I'm asking is-
- Ask me, Wales.

Dexter, I was just looking for you.

Oh, you spent the last 20 minutes,
uh, walking around this site

just looking for me?
You got a lousy sense of direction.

A great sense of smell though.

You're in on a deal
with Blake Carrington,

and I got some questions.

- I don't have any answers.
- Oh, come on, Dexter,

you're doing business
with scum like Carrington.

There's a lot to answer for.

Why don't you get out of here?

- Look, I don't take orders-
- I said now!

I don't understand.

First the handcuffs and now this.
It's as if they've already convicted you.

It just means that we have
to fight harder, and we will.

Yes, we will.

I'm so thankful that I still have you
and my friends and my family,

people who believe in me,
people who trust me.

Oh, Blake. I love you so much.

We'll win this one.

We'll win, you'll see.

You bet we're going to.

What is it, darling?

Come on. You were upset when you
came into the courtroom this morning.

Is there something the matter
with Kristina?

Oh, no, Kristina's fine.

I was hoping
I wouldn't have to tell you.

It's about the Crater.

What about the Crater?

Kimball called this morning.

He knows how much this project
means to you

but he couldn't hold
the crew together.

Yeah.

Tsk. That doesn't come
as a surprise to me.

Nick is a good man
but he can't work miracles.

- Is Dex still with me?
- Yes.

Well, then we'll get another crew
just as soon as I get out of here.

Blake, there's got to be
something I can do.

Why don't I go back to Harmon Springs
and ask some more questions?

You never know,
I might get some answers.

Mrs. Carrington, I wish I could give you
more information but I just can't.

Why?
Because you've been ordered not to?

The DA's Department has every right
to keep its evidence from the public.

But I'm not just the public.

My husband is facing
a murder charge,

don't I have a right
to know the evidence against him?

If it were up to me, sure,

but I have to answer
to the public prosecutor.

But you don't believe
Blake Carrington is guilty, do you?

I didn't say that.

Captain, my husband is innocent.

When I came to you before,
you helped me

by telling me about
the sprinkler system at La Mirage.

Now, you didn't have to but you did.
I need your help again.

Look, try the Harmon Springs
Police Arson Squad.

They're handling the case.

Meanwhile, my husband's in jail
accused of something he didn't do.

Oh, captain, please, help me.

If I were you, Mrs. Carrington, I'd look
very closely at the coroner's report

on the man your husband
supposedly hired

to burn down La Mirage,
Frank Marin.

But we know he died in the fire.

His body was burned in the fire,
that's true,

but the coroner's report indicates
that he died of smoke inhalation.

Smoke inhalation?

But that doesn't make sense.

Mr. Ferguson claims
that Marin started the fire

and then was burned to death
when the cleaning fluid exploded.

Unless he didn't start the fire at all.

And if he didn't, then who did?

I fired Dana Waring as my assistant,
you had no right to hire her.

Who are you to tell me what to do?

I work for Alexis.
I answer only to Alexis.

I've tried to establish
some kind of relationship between us.

You have.

You want me out of the way so
you can have free rein with my mother.

Well, I promise you, Ben,
that will never happen because l-

What's going on?

I am tired of having my authority
undermined by your son.

What does he mean by that, Adam?

He fired Dana Waring, I hired her.
She was father's assistant.

She has personal knowledge
not only of Blake's files

but also what he was thinking
and what he was planning.

If I hadn't hired her back-

We would have lost
a very valuable contact.

- Adam was right.
- Alexis-

I don't want to hear any more
about this.

Now, I've decided to acquire
these leases.

I'd like a written report
from both of you

as to how they fit in
with our holdings.

I want your report on my desk
first thing in the morning.

My report goes to Alexis.

You want to fight me, Adam? Fine.

But let me warn you,
if I have to, I'll destroy you.

That you can count on.

Yeah?

Australia?

I'm not in.

First, Australia calls the house,
and all the numbers are changed.

And now they've found you here.
Gonna change these number too, Ben?

Whoever it is,
they're gonna find you sooner or later.

And that's a meeting
I don't want to miss.

- Dana-
- I know, you don't give a man flowers.

Maybe a bottle of Scotch,
maybe aftershave lotion.

But, frankly, Mr. Carrington,
as your new assistant,

I'd say you're a boss who needs
some beauty in his life.

Do you mind?

On the contrary,
I think it's long overdue. Thank you.

Well, I watched your father
under pressure, I know what it's like.

Ooh, it'll take a lot more than flowers
to relieve this pressure.

Alexis wants an answer
on these oil leases immediately

and I don't know
where to start looking.

Well, that's what I'm here for.

Why don't you give me
the lot numbers?

I'm sure there's a file
here someplace.

Unfortunately, I think the answer
is in the personal file

that my father took with him.

Oh, I see.

I know that he had an interest
in these leases at one time.

If I could only find out what's in
that file, oh, would my life be easier.

Adam...

Look, you have my absolute loyalty,

just as your father did.

When I'm told something's confidential,
that's how it remains.

I wouldn't want it any other way.

Dana, your loyalty to my father
is very important to me

because I share that loyalty.

Did you know he told me
to come work for Mother?

No, I didn't.

Because he knew that
this is where the opportunity lies,

to be successful, to grow.

For my own sake,
he urged me to leave him,

not as his son, but as my own man.

So you see, when you're loyal to Blake,
you're loyal to me too.

And as for confidentiality,

whatever happens between us
remains between us.

Tell me, with all of Blake's pressure,
did you ever bring him flowers?

Never.

Let me give you something in return,
just between us.

Darling, I know this is painful for you

but something you said
happened the night of the fire.

Something in the corridor.

Well, I could smell smoke.

But you didn't see any flames?

Not until I was in front
of Claudia's room.

When she opened the door to her room
there was all this fire around her

and there were flames shooting out
from behind her.

I tried to help her, Mother,
but I couldn't do anything.

All right, darling, of course
you couldn't, it's all right.

The fire shot out from behind her?

Oh, my God. Claudia.

Krystle?

Do you think this information
could do it?

- Dominique, finally, we know the truth.
- Yes.

I'm a busy man, I've got a job to do.

I have proof
that my husband is innocent.

Your whole case
is based on the premise

that Frank Marin started the fire.

I'm not about to reveal to you
what my case is, Mrs. Carrington.

Well, I've got a revelation for you.

Dominique's Deveraux's daughter,
Jackie, saw where the fire started.

It was in Claudia Carrington's room.

Go on.

Jackie was coming down the hall.
There was smoke everywhere.

But she didn't see flames
until she reached Claudia's room.

Claudia opened the door and a wall
of flame shot out from behind her.

Now, that's where the fire started.

Frank Marin was trapped
in a service pantry.

And according to the coroner's report,
he died from smoke inhalation.

So I strongly suggest you drop
all the charges against my husband.

You have no case, Mr. Ferguson.

And if you take this to trial,
you'll lose.

That is the last bale of hay
I pitch today.

What's the matter?

Did the poor little rich boy get bored
with playing ranch hand?

Playing?

I have been out there working
for three hours,

and I've had a pulled muscle
for the past two.

I have just the solution.

I was hoping you'd say that.

This.

This is horse liniment.

Don't think you're man enough?

On the sofa.

I was hoping you'd say that too.

Oh.

All right.

Mm.

You know...

I'll bet that if I looked long enough,

I could find a sore muscle
in your body too.

Why don't the two of us lock ourselves
up here for the next week

and do nothing but make love, huh?

You can clear your calendar

and I'll call my mother and cancel
our dinner date tomorrow night.

The dinner with your mother
and father? No-

Mm-hm.

Sammy Jo, why don't we just forget
about the dinner?

Besides, the last time my father
sat down to dinner with a Carrington

it was a battle royal.

And I would rather make love,

not war.

The battle was over the pipeline,
Clay, and that's done with.

Besides, I don't wanna disappoint
your mother.

She likes me and I like her.

You'd rather disappoint me,
is that it?

No, it's just that we can wait
until after the dinner.

Sammy Jo, why don't we just forget
about the dinner?

The two of us here, huh?

Clay, does this have anything to do
with making love?

Or is there some reason you don't
want me to sit down with your family?

I'll show you exactly
what this has to do with.

Amanda,

I'm sorry
for what you're going through.

On the drive home,
I saw your face in the rearview mirror.

I thought I was better
at hiding my feelings than that.

You don't have to hide your feelings
from me.

What they're doing to your father
is terrible.

I'm sorry to see
what it's doing to you.

You really are, aren't you?

If you need someone to talk to,
a friend, anytime.

I wish I could wipe away
the sadness.

Thank you, Michael.

I'll remember that.

I thought that was you
out in the parking lot, Steven.

As long as you're with Amanda,
you can figure I'll just be a step behind.

What are you worried about?
I'm a careful driver.

I wanna know what you're up to.

I'm just the family chauffeur, Steven.
I drive people where they wanna go.

Yeah, you were just the chauffeur
when you used Fallon.

It was too late to stop you then but
I'll stop you before you hurt Amanda.

I've got some free time now,
so if you'll excuse me.

Your sudden return to Denver
was no accident, pal.

What have you been doing
the last five years?

Planning a spontaneous return?

The life and times
of the great Blake Carrington.

Mother.

Forgive me.

Forgive you for what, Ben?

Nothing.

Oh.

Your mother was so beautiful.

She never thought so.

Well, maybe that's what made her
even more beautiful than she was.

Oh, my God.

What kind of man can destroy such
beauty and go on living with himself?

Oh, Ben, your mother's death
was an accident.

No, it was my fault.

She died because I was selfish
and irresponsible.

As sure as that woman gave me life,

I took hers.

Oh, Ben.

Ben, we've all made mistakes.

Sometimes they can haunt us
for the rest of our lives.

And however much we try to forget,
they never stop hurting.

Will the assistant district
attorney please address the court?

Your Honour, certain facts pertaining
to the probable cause of the fire

and resulting deaths
at La Mirage in Harmon Springs,

heretofore unknown by the people,

have convinced
the District Attorney's Office that...

We move for dismissal
in the interest of justice.

Motion granted.

Mr. Carrington, you are free to go.

All rise.

- Congratulations, Dad.
- Blake, you did it.

Well, Blake,
so much for plea bargaining.

I'm glad I didn't push for it.

If you had,
I'd have pushed back hard.

- Thank you, Earl.
- All right.

Excuse me.

Question, Mr. Ferguson.

Since when are you so interested
in justice?

You weren't working for the people
on this one.

You'd been tricked into working
for Alexis Colby and her newspaper.

Well, you both ended up
with nothing.

"Free to go."
Beautiful words, aren't they?

Yes, it's over.

When the Carringtons present
a united front, there is no stopping us.

There'd be no celebrating
if you two hadn't done what you did.

Come on, let's show them
what victory is really like.

We'd like a quote.
Get in closer.

You're a happy man, Mr. Carrington.

A grateful man.

Fact is a lot of people have suffered,
many of them have died

and I'm not gonna stop
until I find out what it was all about.

What's your next move,
Mr. Carrington?

Something big, something exciting.

Something certainly beyond
your imagination, Mr. Wales.

I have a vivid imagination.

In fact, I imagine this something big
has to do with Dex Dexter, am I right?

Jumping to conclusions, aren't you?

I was with Dexteryesterday.

He's supplying you
with drilling equipment?

Uh, for what and, uh, where?

I have no comment.

Uh, Mr. Carrington...

Eric, I want you to have
the helicopter standing by.

Yes, I'm paying a surprise visit
to Mr. Dexter out in the field.

Oh, I knew there was a storm brewing,
I didn't know it carried such an ill wind.

Well, you'd better run for cover, Dex.

Because if you're doing what Gordon
Wales says you're doing, I'll ruin you.

Hurricane Alexis hit with no warning
and left no survivors.

- Coffee?
- No.

Is it true that you are supplying Blake
with drilling equipment?

- Yes.
- That's my equipment, Dex.

Mm-mm. My equipment, Alexis.

I wouldn't touch anything of yours,
not without asking first.

Excuse me.

Yeah?

Right, Eric, I'll give her the word.

What word?

Your pilot is very sorry, Mrs. Colby.

There's a storm advisory
and it's headed this way.

- There'll be no flying out of here now.
- I don't believe it. Let me talk to him.

Hello, Eric? Eric, this is impossible.

I have to get out of here.
I have to be in Denver tonight.

Well, what do you mean
there's a storm and high winds?

All right, call me when it's over.

So stuck here with the peasants.

Alexis Colby grounded at last.

What are you smiling at?

You. I mean, here you are stuck
in the middle of nowhere in a trailer,

surrounded by dust and dirt
and you're still playing the queen bee.

I'm not playing, Dex.

That's too bad.

We used to play very well together.

I'll take those.

Well, thank you very much.

Now, shall we have another toast?

To my esteemed friends,
the Carringtons.

Buck, please.

And you too, Sammy Jo.

Ah.

And what surprises have you
for the Fallmonts, Sammy Jo?

Dad, Sammy Jo isn't a Carrington,
you know that.

- She married a Carrington, didn't she?
- And she divorced him.

Oh, yes, Steven Carrington.

The man who ruined my son's life.

You can't blame Steven
for what happened to Bart.

The hell I can't, Emily.
Of course, it can't do any good.

I mean, you can blame anything
if you want to

but nothing ever sticks
to the Carringtons.

- Not even arson or murder-
- That's not true.

Hmm?

You've obviously been reading
those lies in the Denver Mirror.

- And for you to attack Sammy-
- I can speak for myself, Clay.

Thank you.

There was a time, Mr. Fallmont,
when I couldn't speak for myself

because I didn't know who I was.

What I know now
is that I made a lot of mistakes.

And thanks to Blake and Krystle,
I discovered I do have some value.

The only thing that counts
is being honest with yourself

and not blaming others
for your own mistakes.

It's a shame
you don't know them better.

You could learn something
from them too.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

- I'm sorry, Mrs. Fallmont.
- Me too.

Sammy Jo.

- Are you satisfied?
- What's the matter, Emily?

Did I ruin it for you?

Your grand plans
for a Fallmont-Carrington merger?

Sammy Jo is a fine girl.

She could be wonderful for Clay.

Forget about Clay.

He's just a lot of trouble
and you know it.

He's our son.

What about our son Bart?
Remember him?

The one with the ambition, the drive.

The one that had the future.

- Oh, I won't listen to this.
- Emily, sit down.

All you ever do
is concern yourself with Clay.

"Clay, Clay, Clay," that's all I hear.

Don't you ever worry about Bart?

Oh, that's not fair.

Bart kept his secret from both of us.

If I had known,
if he had shared with us,

maybe we'd still be a family.

It's not right
to turn your back on Clay.

I'm not.

Mm.

Pretend it's caviar.

Even I can't turn a plate of bangers
and beans into caviar.

Don't you have any glasses?

Accept reality then.

Dex, your reality and mine
have nothing in common.

We have everything in common,
Alexis.

We're a part of each other.
That's what frightens you.

Nothing frightens me, Dex.
Certainly not you.

- Then why are you running away?
- I'm not.

Look at me, then.

- Are you afraid to?
- Mm.

That's your fantasy.

I am the only man
you've ever lost control to.

Ha, ha. Oh, that is ridiculous.

The only man who's ever forced you
to look at yourself, to doubt yourself.

And the only man who's ever loved you
for what you are.

Sometimes I don't always know
who and what I am.

So how could you?

Because I can see into you, Alexis.

I can break through that shell

and love the woman
no one else has ever found.

Now, that's what excites you
and that's what frightens you.

Ha. I told you before, Dex,
nothing frightens me.

Nothing.

Have I thanked you enough for,
uh, rescuing me from the dungeon?

No, not nearly enough.

Don't move, I'll be right back.

I haven't finished thanking you.

- Adam.
- May I come in?

Yes, yes, of course, come in.

- Krystle.
- Adam.

What brings you here?

I know I'm here uninvited
but there's something you should see.

This came for you today.

It's from Caracas.

I don't know what it's about but I know
you have oil dealings down there

and I figured it was important.

Oh, thank you very much

but you could have had Dana
forward this to me.

And I would have,
but I had to keep Ben from seeing it.

What's Ben got to do with this?

He's left orders that all mail
addressed to you be sent through him.

- What?
- He wants to see everything.

I intercepted that
before he could see it.

It's still sealed
so whatever it is it's still private.

I may work for Mother now but
Ben is a different matter altogether.

And I will not be a part of anything
underhanded

directed at either one of you.

I'm sorry for the interruption.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Thank you.

It's from Caress.

- Alexis' sister?
- Mm-hm.

- What's she doing in Venezuela?
- She's in prison, listen.

"l don't know whether
this letter will ever reach you

but if it does, please, Blake, help me.

Your brother, Ben, kidnapped me and
had me brought back to this hellhole.

Unless you help me,
I'll probably die here."

Oh. What are you going to do?

I'm gonna get her out of there.

Then I'm gonna bring her back here
to Denver.

Don't you see, darling?

Caress is the key
to clearing up this whole thing.

Caress is the one who can help me
get back at Ben and Alexis.

She's the one who can prove that
they've been lying about me all along.
