Sorry, jeff, but I'm afraid your Tense is wrong.

You see, I've already given them My word --

>> jeff: and my word is that the Deal is off.

>> adam: oh, yes.

Yes, because, one -- although Jeff colby is still working for

Denver carrington, he owns 50% Of colbyco.

Two -- blake carrington's Already turned down the same

Deal with the ahmeds.

I think that's all been squared Away.

My mother believes me -- no Questions asked.

Blake apparently believes me -- Questions asked and answered.

And you know what else I think, Jeff, sitting here now

Face-to-face with you?

I'm thinking how strange it is You can't control your temper in

A simple business matter.

But maybe, then again, it's not So strange after all, is it?

I mean, a man who can't control His own wife -- her sexual

Appetite.

>> jeff: meaning exactly what?

>> adam: fallon hasn't told you?

Then I will.

She came on to me at her Hotel...More than once.

Before she knew I was her Brother, of course.

But then, she probably has told You.

You've both had a kinky laugh or Two.

Have you?

Politically ambitious, I mean.

I thought about running for Congress just for starters.

>> adam: why didn't you pursue It?

>> blake: well, for one thing, Your mother didn't think that

Washington would suit her -- "Too humid," she said.

Probably was afraid of what it Might do to her beautiful skin.

What's wrong with that?

>> blake: nothing.

Just making a joke.

>> adam: like jeff's?

>> blake: what?

It's almost too perfect -- too Pretty, wouldn't you say -- I

Mean, for a man?

>> adam: very.

>> fallon: well, that's very Flattering -- from my brother,

Of all people.

>> adam: well, if I'm anything, Fallon, I'm an honest brother.

Daddy, do you have time to stay And go over some cost

Assessments with me?

>> blake: adam, would you mind Driving back alone in that new

Jitney?

>> blake: wait a minute.

Adam, what -- what is it?

What's wrong?

Why are you so hostile?

>> adam: the day you start to Really believe I'm

Adam carrington is the day I Stop being hostile.

I'll take a taxi back.

>> fallon: excuse me, daddy.

>> blake: >> adam: I'll wait for it

Outside.

>> fallon: wait!

>> adam: miss me already?

>> fallon: I wanna know where You get off talking to my father

>> fallon: that's exactly what I Mean.

You're a fraud, and you have no Right --

>> adam: be careful, fallon.

I don't need to take this, not From you.

>> fallon: well, take this.

>> mark: even if we're still Legally married, what krystle

And I had together was a long Time ago.

And I can't see how it stacks up Against what she has now -- the

Fancy mansion that you told me About, the jewelry, the furs,

The rolls-royce.

The man can give her everything, Including happiness.

>> alexis: happiness?

Oh, from Blake carrington?

That man is cold, arrogant, and Unfeeling.

I should know.

I was married to him for enough Miserable years.

No, what -- what krystle really Needs now is what I needed

Then -- some love, some Tenderness.

Look, why don't you fly out to Denver and see for yourself?

Now, krystle's not going to Admit any of this at first.

She's much too proud.

But give it a few days.

And I also happen to know that There's a wonderfully chic new

Resort called la mirage, and They're desperately looking for

A tennis pro.

I could -- >> mark: forget it.

I said no, I mean no.

Tell me something, alexis -- What are you really here for?

Why would a woman with your Money and power come all this

Way to try and get us back Together?

>> alexis: all right, you're Obviously not a stupid man.

I do have something to gain, but It's none of your business.

The truth of the matter is that Krystle's in trouble, and she

Needs you.

Look...

You look at me and tell me Honestly that you don't still

Love her, and I will climb onto My white horse and ride out of

Your life forever.

>> mark: I don't love her.

>> alexis: you're a liar.

>> mark: I love you.

God, how I love you.

>> blake: these are good, very Good.

You've taken this white Elephant, you've done a fine

Remodeling job, and you've kept The cost down.

Congratulations so far.

>> fallon: daddy, I didn't mean To upset you before.

It's just that I can't see you Accepting it so easily.

>> blake: you mean, that adam is Who he is?

>> fallon: or who he claims he Is.

>> blake: wait a minute, fallon.

To that hard and knowing world Out there, you're a woman.

But to me, there's still a part Of you that's a -- that's a

Child, my child -- always will Be.

Now, if that child is concerned That somebody else will ever

Replace her in my affections and My love, she's wrong.

>> fallon: oh, come on, daddy, I'm not worried about myself.

It isn't the sibling hour.

And even if it were, I can Certainly fight for my own

Position.

What's bothering me -- Or what's killing me, really --

Is the way you're so busy trying To win him over.

It's as if steven was already Forgotten and replaced.

>> blake: and that hurts you?

>> fallon: yes, very much.

>> blake: well, it shouldn't Because it's not true.

When steven left, he made it Very clear he wanted no more of

This family.

You were there. You heard him.

You saw him go.

I know what you were feeling Then.

And I'm feeling -- no, I'm Hoping and I'm praying that

He changes his mind and comes Back.

>> fallon: no questions asked?

>> blake: well, if I said yes to You, I'd be lying, and I've

Never lied to you.

>> fallon: well, what are you Gonna ask him?

"Steven, have your attitudes About life and lifestyles

Changed?" >> blake: I'm sure I'd get

Around to it.

You know me well enough for That.

Let's get back to adam.

Now, he is a part of this Family, and I'd appreciate it

Very much if you knock that Suspicious chip off your lovely

Shoulder and you started to show Him the consideration that he

Deserves.

>> fallon: as a carrington?

>> blake: yes, damn it, as a Carrington.

>> krystle: how are you doing,

Fellow?

Huh?

How are you?

Well, you remember me?

You should, the way I keep Barging in on you.

>> jeff: hello, krystle.

I came home for a look at him, Too.

>> krystle: oh, I'm sorry.

>> jeff: oh, no, no, don't be.

You're beautiful with him.

>> krystle: there.

>> jeff: besides, with fallon Being away as much as she is --

How are you doing, hmm?

Fallon -- my first love.

You know, I fell in love with Her when we were just kids,

Except she never paid any Attention to me --

Not until we were married.

And then, married for the wrong Reason.

One big mistake right from the Start.

>> krystle: well, you're holding One right reason.

>> jeff: hmm. The only reason Now, right?

Good.

I think it's time for you to go Back to bed.

>> krystle: jeff...

I know what's been on your mind, With fallon gone so much of the

Time.

>> jeff: no, look, I've heard it All before.

>> fallon: from fallon, but, Well, could you just listen to

Me for a second?

Sometimes people do things that

They -- they feel they have to, And -- and some people are left

Out.

But right now, that's -- that's A chance that fallon's gonna

Have to take.

Otherwise, she'll regret it for The rest of her life.

And if it works, great.

If it doesn't, at least she's Had her shot.

>> jeff: and then fallon and I Will get together the way you

And blake did and live happily Ever after, right?

>> krystle: maybe.

>> jeff: not maybe, krystle.

I'm finally facing a big truth In my life -- that it's over

Between fallon and me.

Except there's one thing.

I still love her.

How do you fall out of love?

>> krystle: well, in a way, we Don't.

I married my first love, too, Jeff.

And when it was over, I -- I Thought I'd never recover.

But eventually, I found blake.

And then I was okay.

And you'll be all right when you Find someone else.

You can love more than one Person in your life.

>> jeff: well...

We'll see.

>> mark: let's work on that Forehand a little bit.

I know that she's going to keep Steering him against me all the

Time.

>> krystle: well, the Blake carrington I know would

Fight -- happily.

>> blake: I was prepared to.

I was gonna give it the fight of My life but --

>> krystle: but what?

>> blake: fallon -- her Questioning of this, her

Questioning of me.

"Are you so sure he's your son?

How can you be so sure he's your Son?"

I tried to dismiss it, but I Can't.

>> krystle: then you're still Not sure?

>> blake: I'd like to be sure.

>> krystle: thenbe.

>> blake: fallon's got a gypsy's Intuition about some things --

More often than not, she's Right.

>> krystle: and fallon doesn't Trust adam, and you can't get

Past that.

>> blake: no, I can't.

I just can't.

>> fallon: I'm upsetting my Father because I don't trust my

Brother, who I'm not so sure is.

>> krystle: fallon, you and adam Somehow got off on the wrong

Foot.

Well, so did blake.

But he's tried to do something About it.

Now, why can't you?

>> fallon: tell me something, Krystle -- what does any of this

Have to do with you?

Years, and I let it pass.

That your love for your father Doesn't measure up to a fraction

Of mine.

>> fallon: that's bull and you Know it.

>> krystle: what I know is what I hear and what I see.

And what I know is I will not Leave it alone if I see anyone

Causing blake pain.

Days ago.

You may recall she was engaged To, um, a rather wealthy

Graduate student at the Sorbonne -- jean-louis cadeau.

Well, she has broken the Engagement, wants to come home.

>> blake: if that's the way it Was meant to be, it's better

That she realized it before the Wedding, don't you think?

>> joseph: my daughter doesn't Know what's good for her.

I do.

So I shall be leaving for paris Immediately.

And I shall remain there until She is married to that young

Man.

>> blake: sit down, joseph.

You know something, old friend?

You're a snob -- wanting to make Sure that your daughter marries

Into money.

Her happiness, of course, it's Merely incidental.

Hmm.

I remember kirby well.

She's headstrong like fallon.

Nobody, but nobody, runs fallon.

>> joseph: kirby is my daughter.

I'll handle her.

>> blake: joseph, kirby loves You.

She needs you.

Now, you should be grateful that When a problem comes up, that

Her instinct is to runtoyou Instead of runningawayfrom

You.

>> joseph: mr. Carrington, you See, she --

>> blake: take it from a man Who's made a big mistake.

Now, steven is -- nobody knows Where right now because I drove

Him away.
