>> blake: what the devil are you Talking about?

>> neal: blake, I kept my word To you.

For weeks now -- weeks -- I've Had them hold off any

Consideration of the proposed Colbyco/denver carrington

A knife in my back.

I have heard the rumors.

There is someone going around Washington who is trying to dig

Up things on me about my Personal life after-hours.

Are you planning to double-cross Me, blake?

>> blake: would you mind telling Me what you're talking about?

>> neal: that night at la mirage At your daughter's party -- it

Was you who said you would Blackmail me with rumors and

Gossip.

>> blake: about your dealings in Congress, not bedrooms.

And that's because you were Trying to go back on your word

To me, remember?

>> neal: yes, but the threat was Supposed to be forgotten.

And when I agreed -- >> blake: it was forgotten.

You listen to me, neal.

Instead of running around making Wild accusations against your

Friends, you'd better go out There and find out who your

Enemies are.

>> neal: and you're my friend?

>> blake: at this point in our Lives and in this situation,

You'd better believe it.

>> steven: mother, I came by to Bring these reports.

>> claire: hello.

I'm claire maynard from The chronicle.

Your mother's upstairs.

She'll be down in a few minutes, Steven.

Yes, I recognize you.

Our city room was flooded with Photographs of

Steven carrington the night you Got back with your father,

At which time, two of our copy Girls went absolutely crazy.

>> steven: I've read a lot of Your columns.

>> claire: uh, about the copy Girls -- did I tell you about

Them when I phoned you?

>> steven: no, you just said you Wanted a story from me about my

Experiences, and, uh, I said I'd Rather not.

>> claire: that was then.

You must have been pretty upset.

But how about now?

>> steven: miss maynard, I'd Still rather not.

I had an accident.

I've recovered.

There is no story -- just Another guy coming home.

>> claire: a carrington is not Just another guy.

Besides, I think that there is An interesting human angle to

What you've come home to.

>> steven: meaning?

>> claire: meaning Claudia blaisdel,

Mr. Carrington.

What about your, uh, Relationship with that poor,

Troubled woman?

Does she blame you for what's Happened to her life?

Is she recovering in that Sanitarium?

>> steven: from what I've been Told, yes, she is recovering.

>> claire: told?

You haven't been to see her?

>> steven: not yet.

I've been too involved putting My own life back in order.

>> claire: well, considering Your history with the lady -- I

Mean, what she was forced to Reveal on the witness stand

About her affair with you while She was still married to your

Old friend, or at least so they Say.

And the man that you worked For, correct?

>> steven: yes, correct.

And I want you to turn that Recorder off immediately.

Understand?

>> claire: yes, of course.

But I would think that a visit To her would be part of putting

Your life back in order.

>> steven: with you present, Miss maynard, to make a public

Record of the visit -- maybe win Another award, but this time for

A supermarket rag?

Well, forget it.

And if this was an interview, It's over.

>> claire: great!

Good morning, mrs. Colby.

How lovely you look.

>> alexis: let's skip the Amenities, miss maynard, and get

Down to some answers from you.

First of all, why are you here?

And why hasn't that story that I Gave you three weeks ago about

Congressman mcvane appeared in Your precious column?

Don't you think that your Readers would be interested in

Reading about our good Congressman's tawdry affair with

A teenage girl, a governor's Nymphet daughter?

>> blake: a reconciliation Dinner with steven?

Is that what you're trying to Say?

>> krystle: blake, all I'm Saying is to invite him back to

The house and sit at the same Table with him.

>> blake: and talk.

Hostility.

So, about dinner...

Blake.

>> blake: I don't know.

I really don't know.

I've got so many urgent things On my mind at the moment.

I've got ross kennison coming in Here in half an hour.

Than your son?

I thought I'd never see this,

Blake, after what you said.

>> blake: after what I said?

>> krystle: do you remember the Day that we talked together,

When we thought that steven was Dead?

And you said to me that you'd Never given him your total love

And understanding but that You'd try to make it up to him

With danny.

Well, you also said that if you Had another chance to try with

Steven, that you'd act Differently.

Well, you've got your second Chance, blake.

Are you going to take it...Or Are you just going to throw it

Away?

>> steven: mother, I know you Want to take a look at these

Reports.

Father never did.

>> alexis: well, your happiness Makes me very happy, steven.

Finally, we're together, my very Special son, in spite of the

Fact that your father tried to Exile us from each other.

First he drove me away from you, And then he drove you away from

Me.

But it was a bond, steven, that Was meant to be, and not even

Your father's cruelty could Break it.

>> blake: jeff, I must thank you Very much for keeping me so

Closely posted on alexis' Maneuvers.

>> krystle: what makes you so Nice?

>> steven: oh, I take Lessons -- correspondence

Courses.

>> krystle: >> steven: actually...

I wasn't very nice this morning To you -- I mean, getting you

Caught dead center while I had It out with my father.

>> krystle: well, that's what I'm here to talk about.

I want you to come to the house Tomorrow night for dinner.

>> steven: krystle, I know what You're trying to do -- get me to

Say yes and then go tackle my Father on the basis that I

Agreed.

Well, I'm sorry, but I can't go Along with it.

>> krystle: you're wrong, Because I've already tackled

Blake and convinced him.

And I don't intend to lose out With you.

Oh, steven.

I love your father.

You know that.

But...But he's got a blind spot Where you're concerned.

He doesn't see you as clearly as I do.

>> steven: and what is it you See?

>> krystle: I see a boy who left Denver and was gone a long time

But who came back a man...

A man who's willing to take on The full responsibilities of his

Life, including the Responsibility of being a single

Parent.

>> steven: and you want blake to See what you see.

Do you really believe in Miracles?

>> krystle: your being alive is A miracle.

Now, all I'm asking is for you To give it a chance.

I want you to be friends with Your father.

And I'm not gonna stop fighting Till it happens.

>> steven: Okay. Dinner tomorrow night.

What time?

>> krystle: 7:00.

>> steven: 7:00 tomorrow night.

>> krystle: yeah.

>> alexis: oh, don't go, Krystle.

I'd like you to stay.

I want to talk to you for a Moment alone.

If you'll excuse us, steven.

>> steven: sure.

>> alexis: how dare you come Into my office uninvited, and

How dare you interfere in my Son's life?!

>> krystle: you'd love it, Wouldn't you, alexis, if you

Could get revenge on blake by Keeping him and his son apart?

>> alexis: oh, no.

Oh, no, krystle.

Because just the opposite is True -- blake has taken every

Chance, every possible chance, To poison steven's mind against

Me.

>> krystle: >> alexis: and what's so funny?

>> krystle: I can't believe how Little you know the man you were

Once married to, because blake Wouldn't do that.

It's beneath his dignity for one Thing, and he doesn't lie.

>> alexis: oh, that's right.

Of course.

His sainted mother taught him The sin of that, didn't she,

Along with the first president Of the united states?

>> krystle: I'm not finished.

>> alexis: let me remind you This is my office.

>> krystle: you can have it when I finish.

Blake doesn't lie, unlike you, Who could hardly wait until

Steven got back to tell him that Blake tried to buy his own son

From sammy jo.

How dare I interfere?

Well, I'll tell you how I dare.

I'm going to keep on Interfering, alexis, until blake

And his son are what they should Be to one another -- a father

Who loves and respects his son And a son who loves and respects

His father, despite you.

>> alexis: get out of my office Before I have you thrown out.

>> krystle: I love your desk.

The tusks -- they're so you.

>> alexis: get out!

>> alexis: all right, blake.

The mountain has come to Mohammed.

So where is your so-called Clout, and what's your problem?

>> blake: let's reverse those.

First, the problem -- I've been After you for weeks because

You've been consistently Underevaluating the assets of

Denver carrington, which makes My company's stock worth

Millions of dollars less if I Let you get away with it.

>> alexis: well, that's Nonsense, blake.

You're implying -- >> blake: I'm implying nothing.

I'm stating that one of my Company's most valuable assets

Is its shale-oil-extraction Process, a process which could

Revolutionize the oil industry.

>> alexis: well, you won't get Any argument from me there,

Blake.

And if you bother to look Through the documents correctly,

You'll see that colbyco has Evaluated its worth and fairly.

>> blake: it happens to be the Only item that you have

Evaluated fairly, and that is Only because of its tremendous

Importance to colbyco, what with All your shale properties

Showing no profit at the moment, If ever.

Now, about my clout in all of This -- up till now, that

Shale-oil-extraction process has Been leased by an inventor to

Denver carrington, a university Professor named ross...

>> alexis: kennison.

Yes, I know all of this, blake.

>> blake: well, what you don't Know is that this morning

Mr. Kennison sold all the rights In his process to me personally.

So I seriously doubt if I want To continue to lease to our

Merge companies, unless...

>> alexis: unless what?

>> blake: unless the evaluation Of all denver carrington's

Assets meets with my approval.

>> alexis: you know, I like a Fight as much as you do, blake,

But this time you are really Playing dirty, below the belt.

>> blake: not dirty, alexis, Just tough.

Now, you may think you can cut a Big figure in this industry, but

The oil industry is my turf.

And I warned you -- this is a High-stakes game, very high.

So, I will send over those Documents to you tomorrow with

The correct evaluation figures Inserted.

And for the moment, our meeting Is adjourned.

I'm sure you can find your own Way out.

>> claudia: hello, steven.

>> steven: claudia.

>> claudia: they gave me your Message that you were driving up

Here today.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

>> steven: you look beautiful, Claudia -- happy and healthy.

>> claudia: it's the jogging.

I really enjoy it.

And the people here are very Good to me.

They're very good for me.

>> steven: I'm glad.

>> claudia: your eyes -- they're Still the same.

>> steven: Is that good?

>> claudia: yep.

I heard your leg was hurt.

>> steven: oh, not too bad.

I was using a cane for a while, But it's healing.

>> claudia: it's like me.

I'm healing, too.

Oh, I'd like to give you a Welcome-back-to-life hug, but

I'm all sweaty.

>> steven: I don't mind.

I'm used to a little honest Sweat.

I meant to come sooner.

>> claudia: did you?

>> steven: yes.

>> claudia: well, I've had Company, krystle especially.

She's been up quite a few times.

She's talked to me about you.

It must be difficult for you, Trying to put your life -- your

New life -- back together again.

>> steven: well, it must not be Very easy for you either,

Everything you've been through.

>> claudia: the hell and the Torment?

Yes.

>> steven: god, I wish I'd been With you that day.

>> claudia: what day?

>> steven: on the roof with the Doll.

>> claudia: the doll.

I thought it was lindsay.

They told you about it.

That's why you're here.

>> steven: well, yes, that's Part of it, but --

>> claudia: to pity me.

It's why you're here, isn't it?

>> steven: no, claudia, no.

>> claudia: the person that you Should pity is fallon for what I

Put her through.

You didn't tell me about your Son.

>> steven: I was going to.

>> claudia: I don't think so.

You know what I think?

I don't think that you wanted to Mention him...

Because you were afraid that I Might shatter, because you were

Afraid that I might fall to Pieces in front of you like I

Used to over lindsay.

You still pity me over that, Don't you?

Krystle told me about your son Because she doesn't pity me.

She understands how hard I'm Working to put the pieces of my

Life back together.

And I'm getting there.

I'm getting there because I want To get well.

>> steven: claudia, believe This -- I came here today

Because of what we meant to each Other once and because of what I

Cost you.

>> claudia: no one cost me.

No one cost me anything.

I'm not looking for crutches, Because I'm not an emotional

Cripple.

The doctors here say that I'm Gonna be leaving soon on my own.

And I want you and I want the Rest of the world to know that I

Have glued myself back in one Piece.

And a large part of what I've Glued back is my pride.

Goodbye, steven.

I really am sweaty, and Suddenly, I'm feeling a bit

Grimy.

I'm going to take a shower.

>> steven: claudia, look -- >> claudia: steven, thank you

For coming.

Visitors are always welcome Here.

It says it in the brochure they Hand you when you walk in,

Except some of the patients here Aren't as lucky as I.

>> steven: claudia.

Claudia!

>> alexis: sit down, mark.

>> mark: I'd rather stand.

And I want you to know the only Reason I'm here is because I

Didn't want you coming out to La mirage and creating a

Problem.

>> alexis: that's no part of why I sent for you.

>> mark: come on, alexis.

We've both been involved in Situations like this one before.

We had a thing.

It was pleasant.

Now it's over.

And if you dragged me here to Find out why --

>> alexis: you're not going to Tell me.

Well, you don't have to, because I already know.

It's fallon, isn't it?

A rather intimate little kiss in The pro shop, of all places,

Confirmed what I know.

You followed her to haiti when She was getting her divorce,

Didn't you?

Well, because of that divorce And because of jeff's

Remarriage, my daughter is very Vulnerable right now, and I want

You to stay out of her life.

>> mark: just like that?

>> alexis: oh, no.

Because of, uh, who you are and What you are, just like this.

I'll pay you anything that you Want within reason, and then I

Want you to leave.

>> mark: put that away.

I don't want your money, alexis.

>> alexis: How many alexises have heard

That before?

>> mark: I don't want it, and That's that.

>> alexis: what you want is Fallon because you love fallon?

>> mark: alexis?

What do you want?

>> alexis: I want to come in, Mark.

Look, I'm sorry about what Happened before.

Must I eat crow in the corridor?

I apologize, mark.

You see, a woman like me doesn't Enjoy losing out to another

Woman, especially not her own Daughter.

It was beneath my dignity to Insult you the way that I did,

So will you please accept my Apology?

>> mark: all right.

Okay, I do.

Now, I want to thank you for Coming all this way to deliver

It personally.

But I'm tired and I want to Finish showering, so do you mind

>> alexis: smart and Intelligent.

A woman who always knows exactly What she wants and how to go

About getting it.

>> mark: you get your clothes On, get out of here, and tell

Her how this happened.

>> alexis: I've got my clothes On, mark.

And nothing happened.

And even if it had, I'm afraid It would have been as boring as

Those few other truly, truly Boring afternoons I wasted with

You.

>> mark: fallon!

Please, let me explain.

Fallon!

Look, she set this up.

Fallon!

>> alexis: so it's absolutely Clear, then -- I don't want you

Back in town until after 9:00 Tonight, all right?

>> adam: mother, can't you find Someone else to pull this off?

Steven and I are not exactly Friendly types to go off into

The field on a mission together.

>> alexis: adam, I instructed You weeks ago that I wanted you

To become friends with your Brother.

Now, you haven't exactly Extended yourself in that

Direction.

>> adam: I tried.

>> alexis: well, not hard Enough, obviously.

Now I'm giving you a chance to Try again, to be alone with

Steven, learn to see and Appreciate his fine qualities.

Although he may be younger than You, darling, I think there's a

Lot of things that you can learn From him.

Now I have to go and get Dressed.

>> adam: I want you to listen to Me first.

On one hand, you want me to be Friends with my brother.

And on the other, you make that Impossible by involving me in

Your schemes.

Now, when do I get a break?

>> alexis: oh, my poor little Innocent adam with the

Innocently melting heart.

What other wonders are in store For us?

>> adam: damn it, mother!

I'm serious!

>> alexis: and you're out of Control.

You know, I've seen your Father's rotten temper in you,

But...

But is there something else?

>> adam: of course not.

It's just that growing up alone, I had to do my own share of

Struggling and scheming, and There were times when I got sick

Of it then, just as I'm sick of It now.

>> alexis: sick?

Just make sure, darling, that I Never get sick of you.

Just do what you're told.

>> mark: I'm sorry, phil.

I guess it's just not my Morning.

I'll make up the lesson later Today, okay?

>> phil: what time, mark?

>> mark: I'll phone your room.

Fallon, I want to talk to you.

>> fallon: what's there to talk About?

Oh, yesterday.

Well, I saw what I saw.

Look, why don't you just get Back to the court?

That's what you're paid for, Among other things, right?

>> mark: somewhere along the Line I got the impression that I

Meant more to you than being Just another tennis pro.
