>> marcia: yes, I realize you're With network news, but requests Of this nature have to go

Through our public relations...

First.

That's krystle carrington.

Her extension is 39.

You're welcome.

>> krystle: I have nothing to Say at this time.

>> marcia: this is wonderful and Awful.

>> krystle: I know, marcia.

>> marcia: mr. Carrington's Office.

>> krystle: Well, while you sit here

Peacefully in your office, the Phones are ringing off their

Hooks in the rest of the Building.

>> blake: really?

>> krystle: really.

Seems that everybody wants to Interview blake carrington --

Forbesmagazine,fortune, World finance, time.

>> blake: isnewsweekignoring Me?

>> krystle: apparently.

They've only called twice today.

>> blake: how about some coffee?

>> krystle: no, thank you.

I just got off the phone with Fred palmer, the editor

Ofworld finance.

It seems they want to do a Cover story.

>> blake: a cover on me?

Only if they show me with a Beautiful public-relations lady

I know who happens to be Carrying my baby.

>> krystle: well, the problem Is they want the baby's handsome

Father and the story of how he Pulled off the coup in the

China sea.

>> blake: I hope to get it Pulled off by next week.

I still have $20 million to go On that $100 million I agreed to

Pay for the leases.

>> krystle: blake, palmer Indicated that his reporter may

Ask a sticky question.

>> blake: only one?

>> krystle: Well, basically, it's this --

Why is blake carrington dealing With rashid ahmed when everyone

Knows that he was double-crossed By him two years ago?

>> blake: it's simply I agreed To deal with ahmed, even though

I don't trust him, because not One cent of that money is going

Through the man's hands.

It's being paid directly to the Government that he's

Representing.

Now, if that government wants to Pay ahmed a commission, well,

That's their business.

And my business right now...

Is to steal a kiss from my Public-relations chief.

>> lt. Taylor: it's been quite a While since this case was marked

"Closed."

I'd have thought that you'd have Laid the past to rest by now.

>> kirby: I didn't come here for Platitudes, and obviously you

Thought wrongly.

Otherwise I wouldn't be here.

You know what my father left -- May I please see it, just to

Know what his last thoughts Were?

>> lt. Taylor: that note was Addressed to

Mr. Blake carrington, and we Didn't reveal its contents to

The press at the specific Request of mr. Carrington.

>> kirby: Mr. Carrington told me what my

Father wrote.

>> lt. Taylor: please sit down.

>> kirby: I just want to see Those words for myself.

It's the only way that I'm going To be able to end this nightmare

I've been having -- these awful Dreams that my father didn't

Write the note.

Someone else did -- someone who Killed him and then made it look

Like a suicide.

>> lt. Taylor: I understand how Hard it is to accept the idea

That somebody you love could be Capable of taking his own life.

But both mr. Carrington and your Husband were in the house when

Your father pulled the trigger, And it was his handwriting on

The note.

There's no question about that.

But if it'll help you any...

I have a copy of it here.

>> kirby: "Mr. Carrington, the police are

Bound to discover it was I who Set the fire.

I tried to stop that evil woman From ruining yet another life

And failed.

I pray my death will satisfy her Need for vengeance. -- joseph."

"That evil woman."

Thank you, lieutenant taylor.

I finally understand what my Father's death was about.

>> adam: steven?

>> steven: nobody announced you, Adam.

>> adam: I'm announcing myself.

I talked to mother's secretary.

He says she's in hong kong!

>> steven: then I guess that's Where she is.

>> adam: don't get cute with me!

What's she doing?!

>> steven: working.

>> adam: at what?

>> steven: at undoing what you Did!

She's gone to pick up whatever Oil leases might have been left

Over from the deal blake made, Thanks to the stolen evaluation

Report you handed him!

>> adam: stolen?

Be very careful, steven.

I put as much into that report As you -- more, in fact.

>> steven: oh, save it, adam!

I'm not in the mood for your Damned bull right now!

>> adam: And what about blake?

>> steven: what about him?

>> adam: have you told him that Mother's in hong kong?

>> steven: no.

>> adam: why not?

>> steven: because I'm not the Resident house spy.

What alexis does is her Business, just as it's my

Business to run colbyco while She's gone.

I've got a lot of work to do, so Why don't you get out of here?

>> blake: son, I somehow get the

Feeling that your mind is not on This championship match.

>> adam: >> blake: still thinking about

North dakota, huh, and that Cemetery where kirby found out

About her mother?

>> adam: actually, I was Thinking about my own mother --

How unnecessary, how cruel it Was of her to throw the truth at

Kirby the way she did.

>> blake: cruel?

Well, your mother can win prizes At that sort of thing if she

Sets her mind to it.

But in this case -- >> adam: don't say she had an

Excuse.

>> blake: she did. You.

See, in her mind, alexis was Protecting her son.

She always believes that she's On the side of the angels.

And she always justifies Everything she does with a firm

Conviction that it's right.

>> adam: when I told you this Afternoon that she was in

Hong kong, I wondered then what She was really up to over there.

Is she on the side of the angels This time, father?

>> blake: I don't care what side She's on.

Nothing or no one is going to Stop us now.

>> mark: hello.Sham-pi?

According to the hotel waiter, That's chinese for "Champagne."

>> alexis: really?

But that bottle is french, isn't It?

>> mark: let's see.

It's smuggled across the border Of the people's republic, and

It's bulgarian.

>> alexis: bulgarian?

Oh, my god. What year?

>> mark: Just kidding, just kidding.

It's really very french, and It's gonna reflect on your bill.

>> alexis: oh, thank you.

By the way, mark, what are you Doing in my suite?

>> mark: it's time for dinner.

I thought I'd take you out after We share a little champagne.

>> alexis: well, that's very Gallant of you, but I already

Have a dinner date.

So why don't you take this like A good mark and go and enjoy

Yourself with some of those Charming tarts who have been

Following you around?

>> mark: you're dismissing me?

>> alexis: that's very Perceptive of you, mark.

Yes, I'm dismissing you.

Have a good evening.

>> mark: don't wait up for me.

>> alexis: rashid.

>> rashid: good evening, my Dear.

>> alexis: come in.

>> rashid: I am certain this is Going to be a good evening.

Both be on top when it comes to Making a deal.

Ventures.

What about colbyco?

The lady happens to be pretty Heavily involved in that

Corporation as well.

>> dex: well, uh, maybe I can Talk her out of that.

So you want to buy a gun.

Are we talking about a gun for Sport, like in rifle, or are we

Talking about a handgun?

>> kirby: a handgun.

>> handgun.

Mm-hmm, well, in that case, I'm Gonna have to ask you for some

Identification to prove that You're 21 years old.

Do you have a driver's license With you?

>> kirby: yes.

>> could I see it, please?

Things are getting harder to see All the time.

Is that mrs. Or miss?

>> kirby: it's miss.

>> thank you.

Well, let me tell you something, Young lady.

Guns can be very dangerous -- Deadly, in fact.

Now, is there some particular Reason you want one?

>> kirby: yes, there is.

Um, I live alone, and, well, It's pretty obvious, isn't it?

>> yeah, self-preservation.

Yes, it is obvious and it's A good idea.

Let me see what we got here.

>> kirby: and then I'd like you To tell me where I could take

Some lessons.

I mean, if I own one, I should Know how to shoot it.

>> mm-hmm.

Yeah.

You know, I can see through that Smile of yours that you're

Scared beneath it -- frightened Of something.

Now, if there is someone or Something that is threatening

You, I think you ought to tell The police, not try to handle

This by yourself.

>> kirby: uh, yes, I am Frightened.

But the police can't move in With me.

My apartment's been burglarized Twice while I was at work, and

It may happen again, and I may Be there the next time.

And there's no point to me Having a gun if I don't know how

To use it.

>> it sounds to me like you Don't intend to miss the target.

>> oh, no, I don't intend to Miss the target at all.

>> krystle: here, let me fix Your tie.

Need I remind you that, when one

Is to be interviewed by World financemagazine --

>> blake: one should look like a World-class financial figure.

>> krystle: exactly.

Are you sure you don't want me

At the interview?

>> blake: yes, I'm sure.

>> krystle: in case you need Some quick data.

>> blake: I can phone you.

>> krystle: I may not answer.

>> blake: I'll send you a wire.

>> krystle: probably won't Read it.

>> blake: darling, I appreciate You wanting to be with me, but I

Do have all the facts I need Right at my fingertips.

But there is something else Behind all this, isn't there?

Come on, now.

Come on, what is it?

>> krystle: well, they're Sending their top reporter,

Gordon wales, which rhymes -- as They say in the trade -- with

"Tough as nails."

Now, we both know that, on Occasion, you lose your temper,

And we both know how explosive This oil deal can be.

So I thought that if I was there I might be able to help you.

>> blake: I love you worrying About me, but the carringtons

Have never been known to be Exactly pushovers.

And I think your Mr. Tough-as-nails will have met

His match.

>> krystle: something tells me I've just met mine.

>> blake: correct.

I want you and my child to stay Put, do you hear?

Bye.

>> krystle: bye.

>> blake: I thought this was to Be an interview, mr. Wales, not

An inquisition.

>> gordon: call it what you Like, mr. Carrington, but the

Entire business world wants to Know why you and rashid ahmed

Are in this together.

>> blake: I've already answered That question.

I see no point in going back Over it again.

>> gordon: then let's talk about The political implications of

This deal you made.

>> blake: as I said in my tv Statement, there is nothing

Political about this.

It's pure business -- business That is good for

Denver carrington and good for This country -- a prime new

Source of oil.

>> gordon: how many governments Are in that area?

Two.

Are they friendly? No.

Does each claim jurisdiction?

Yes.

Is blake carrington obviously Siding with one of them?

Yes.

>> blake: are you interviewing Me, or are you writing an

Editorial based on your own Misconceptions?

Siding? Yes.

I'm siding with the future of This country and its need for

Energy.

Now, do you want me to repeat That into this thing?

>> gordon: no, no, that's loud And clear enough.

Uh, yeah, tracy kendall.

>> blake: what about her?

>> gordon: she was your party's P.R. Person until you resigned,

Right?

>> blake: right.

>> gordon: I hear you axed her From your public-relations

Staff.

She went with you to hong kong, But she didn't come back with

You.

What happened?

Was she worried about the Public-relations consequences of

This deal, so you just -- What -- got rid of her?

>> blake: once again, you're Wrong, mr. Wales.

And this misguidedly aggressive Attitude of yours is beginning

To bore me now, just as it's Annoyed me right from the start,

So let's say that this interview Is over.

>> gordon: well, of course, I'll, uh, send you a copy of the

Article.

>> blake: make that two Copies -- one for me, one for my

Legal staff.

>> claudia: we're both Leaving late for work this Morning.

At least you have an excuse.

>> krystle: what I have is a Husband who has spies stationed

Around the house to report if I Step outside the front door a

Moment before the appointed Time.

Mrs. Carrington.

He said, "We need you, lindsay And I.

We want you home with us."

>> claudia: that's exactly what He said both times before.

>> krystle: are you sure?

>> claudia: yes!

>> krystle: well, it's almost as If it were a recording.

>> claudia: a recording?

Yes.

When I was in the sanitarium and Matthew was in the middle east,

He sent me a tape-recorded Letter, only I never received

It.

And then she told matthew when He got back that it never

Party?

>> jeff: why not?

>> fallon: I got to hand it to You -- you are a super father.

Tape.

>> blaisdel: tape?

>> claudia: you know.

The one that matthew sent me Years ago -- the one that you

Forgot to give me and then said That you lost.

>> blaisdel: oh, claudia dear, If you've come back to hound me

About something in the past, About something that I already

Apologized for -- >> krystle: mrs. Blaisdel, we're

Here to ask you some questions About the tape.

Now, we have good reason to Believe it still exists.

We both heard it.

>> blaisdel: how could you have Heard it?

>> krystle: because I took the Call for claudia, and it didn't

Make sense.

Matthew's voice kept talking to Claudia, not me.

Now, if you know anything about This, it might be better if you

Tell us now, rather than the Police.

>> blaisdel: I know nothing About this.

>> krystle: I wonder if the Police will believe that.

>> blaisdel: this man came by to See me.

He -- he asked for my Cooperation.

He said he'd pay me $500 if I'd Give him the tape.

I asked him why he wanted it, And...He said something about

Using it...To upset...

Mrs. Steven carrington.

And because I felt then as I Feel now, that you've no right

To happiness in your new Marriage after what you did to

My son...

To my matthew...

I gave him the tape I kept.

Who, damn it, who?!

>> blake: where is claudia now?

>> krystle: I dropped her off at La mirage.

She said she wanted to be alone In her office for a while.

In the car, she kept asking, why Would a man she'd never met

Torture her like this?

>> blake: I have my doubts that The man wanted to do it.

But I can make a pretty good Guess as to the woman who might

Want claudia out of her son's Life.

>> krystle: alexis?

Blake, do you -- do you really Think she's capable of doing

This?

>> blake: can you think of Anything that alexis isn't

Capable of doing?

Of here when I decide to come In.

Your shady work for my ex-wife.

>> blake: all right...How much

Did she pay you to do it, and How long was this supposed to

Go on?

>> hess: if you're talking about Alexis colby, forget it.

I hate that woman as much as You do.

So if you'll just forget what You found here today, I'll go

Through with my plan to get even With her.

Look, the woman did me dirt.

All of this is just part of a Plan to get even with her.

I'll plant the tape in her Office and then tip off the

Cops.

When her son finds out, he's

Gonna hate her for what he Thinks that she did to his wife.

That will destroy alexis colby.

>> blake: you scum.

What kind of a man are you, Anyway, playing games with

Somebody's sanity?

>> hess: I told you, Carrington -- to get revenge on

Alexis colby.

>> blake: all right.

Sergeant.

Now tell it to the police.

>> let me read you your rights, Mr. Hess.

"You have the right to remain Silent..."

Grime off from the well.

I think even my uncle cecil Would be applauding right now.

>> blake: Thank you, jeff, but I'm not

Quite sure about that.

You know, cecil inherited his Money, and he played his cards

Very cautiously.

Maybe that's why Denver carrington, which was

Just a newcomer 25 years ago, is Able to compete with a giant

Like colbyco.

I know, not as big yet, but this Deal is going to do it.

One thing I am sure of, Though -- alexis will not

Applaud.

>> jeff: Well, alexis has been running

Colbyco exactly the way my uncle Had structured it.

I think the only real gamble She's taken is when dex dexter

Says, "Do this" or "Do that."

>> blake: oh, how I'd like to See alexis' face when she tries

To get in on this china sea Deal and she finds out that the

Only areas that don't belong to Me are worthless.

>> alexis: good evening.

>> rashid: good evening.

Is that better?

>> alexis: better than what?

>> rashid: than whom?

Than the way your hysterical Lover of earlier might kiss you?

>> alexis: dex dexter is my Ex-lover and should never have

Been in my life.

Let's talk about more important Things.

>> rashid: first, more Importantly for me...

Let me give you this.

>> alexis: oh.

>> rashid: open it, please.

It's a gift I chose for you from An outrageously expensive

Antique shop.

>> alexis: it's outrageously Sweet of you, rashid.

>> rashid: legend has it that it Belonged to the empress of

Tibet -- reputedly, the most Beautiful woman in all of

Asia -- that her people gave it To her when her troops won a

Victory over the mongols...

So that she might witness her Beautiful smile...

As empress and conqueror.

>> alexis: oh...It's absolutely Beautiful, rashid.

I'll treasure it forever.

Now, how are things proceeding With our deal?

>> rashid: very well indeed.

>> alexis: and when is it going To happen?

>> rashid: alexis, I play it Carefully, but I play it well.

>> alexis: I know you play it Well, rashid, but when?

For $5 million, I think at least I deserve a timetable.

>> rashid: alexis, when it Happens, you will not miss it,

Because the explosion will be Heard all over the financial

World, and blake carrington will Be dead financially.

>> alexis: blake's funeral.

Finally.
