>> blake: at 7:00 In the morning?

What could be so important? >> alexis: we have to talk.

>> blake: what do you want, Alexis?

>> alexis: I want you to do Something about amanda.

>> blake: I've got nothing To say to you about her.

>> alexis: oh, that's rich! She's living in your house,

Following your rules, And looking to you

For moral guidance, And where does she end up?

In bed with her stepfather, And it's all

Your responsibility! >> blake: you, of all people,

Have got the nerve to say that To me?

You come here talking about Our daughter's problems --

A girl that you kept hidden From me for 20 years!

>> alexis: oh, that's the past. I am talking about the present

And the future of that little Tramp you call your daughter.

>> blake: that little tramp You left to be raised

By strangers 5,000 miles away from here.

>> alexis: I'd hardly call My cousin rosalind a stranger.

Are you telling me you're not Going to do anything about this?

>> blake: oh, no. No, on the contrary, I am going

To do something about it. But in my own way

And without instructions From her loving mother.

>> alexis: before she slept With my husband, I did love her.

>> blake: yes, in your own Peculiar way.

Don't tell me you didn't see This thing with dex coming on.

>> alexis: no, I didn't. I never believed,

In my wildest dreams, That my husband and my daughter

Could betray me. >> blake: well,

Be that as it may, You've had your chance

With amanda with no success, So as of now, I'll handle it.

>> krystle: you should Handle it, blake.

Amanda needs your strength now And your guidance.

>> blake: yes, And I'm going to need you.

Amanda's going to need you, too. She needs what alexis

Could never give her. After all, she was raised

In boarding schools by people Who weren't her parents.

It wasn't easy on the girl. >> krystle: well,

She has the two of us now. >> blake: thank you.

Thank you so much. >> amanda: mummy.

>> alexis: what do you want, Amanda?

>> amanda: we have to talk. >> alexis: I have nothing

To say to you. >> amanda: look, I am sorry.

I never meant to hurt you. >> alexis: really? I catch you

In bed with my husband, And you tell me that you never

Meant to hurt me. What did you mean, amanda?

>> amanda: I don't know, But hurting you was not

A part of it, believe me. >> alexis: as far as

I'm concerned, you are no longer A part of my life.

Go back to blake and company Because I loathe you

And your bed partner. >> amanda: well, then,

Why don't you -- >> alexis: why don't I what?

>> amanda: why don't you Let him go?

>> alexis: oh, I have. Believe me, I have.

>> amanda: I'm not talking about The divorce, I'm talking about

His feelings. He still wants you.

Why don't you tell him It's over?

>> alexis: he should have Thought about my feelings

Before he took you to bed. Why should I bother about his?

>> amanda: because I love him. >> alexis: then I pity you both.

>> amanda: oh, save your pity If that's all you've got left.

>> alexis: no, amanda. I have my pride left,

Which is something that you lost Between his bedsheets.

It's beyond me what you two See in each other.

>> amanda: well, whatever it is, Maybe I can give him something

You never could. >> alexis: ha ha ha ha!

And what, pray, is that -- Immaturity,

Post-adolescent passion? Take it from me.

Dex loves real women, Not pale imitations.

>> amanda: is that why He left you?

>> alexis: oh, He didn't leave me.

I divorced him. But if he's who you want,

Then you are welcome to him Because you two deserve

Each other. >> amanda: thank you, mother,

For your generosity. >> alexis: I told you before...

Don't call me mother. Not only is dex no longer

My husband, but you are No longer my daughter.

>> blake: good morning. Good morning.

>> maid: mr. Carrington. >> blake: does this belong

To you? >> maid: yes, sir.

>> blake: you're new here, Aren't you?

>> maid: my second day, sir. >> blake: well, if you want to

Be here a third day, I suggest You don't let this happen again.

Is that understood? >> maid: yes, sir.

>> krystle: what is it, blake? >> blake: oh, it's nothing,

Darling. >> krystle: can I see it?

>> blake: well, believe me, It's nothing that you should be

Concerned with. >> krystle: please?

>> krystle: well, it didn't Take them long, did it?

>> blake: I'm sorry You had to see that.

>> krystle: I'd see it Somewhere -- on a street corner,

Or a newsstand. It hurts, but...

There's no way to avoid it. Blake, what really matters

Is we're home together And we're safe.

>> blake: yes. We are safe.

But I promise you -- That woman and abrigore

Or traverse, or whatever He's calling himself now --

Are never going to be safe Because no matter

How much it costs Or how long it takes,

I'm going to make them pay For what they've done to you.

>> amanda: one, please. Oh, wait a minute.

Dex? >> dex: amanda.

>> amanda: what's wrong? The last time I saw you,

You were rushing off To the airport to see alexis --

To beg her forgiveness -- So why are you still here?

What happened? >> dex: I'm still here

Because your mother flew to The caribbean and got a divorce.

>> amanda: but then you're free. >> dex: amanda, what happened

Between us is over. >> amanda: not for me it isn't,

Dex. I love you. >> dex: amanda, alexis means

Everything to me. She's still a part of my life.

>> amanda: oh, well, then, What was I,

Just a momentary diversion? >> dex: no, of course not.

We both needed someone To hold onto.

But that doesn't change the fact That you've got a husband

And I love alexis. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to hurt you. >> amanda: well, apparently,

I wasn't the only one That was hurt.

>> alexis: yes?

Send him in. >> dex: I, uh, got your message.

>> alexis: you're my top Priority, dex.

>> dex: now that, uh, Galen is moving out?

>> alexis: news travels fast. >> dex: yes, it does,

And my first reaction Was to help him pack.

My second was to see you. >> alexis: I realize now

That you were right all along About galen using me.

You were so good about Looking out for my interests.

>> alexis: oh, yes. Indeed we do.

>> dex: and, um... Whatever has happened

Is behind us? >> alexis: finished.

Over and done with. >> dex: alexis,

I have missed you. >> alexis: you've also missed

The point of this meeting. >> dex: you said you wanted

To see me. >> alexis: yes, but I have

Several business meetings today, Dex.

You just happen To be one of them.

>> dex: business? >> alexis: I want to buy out

Your shares Of alexdex corporation.

I not longer need you As a husband, a lover,

Or a business partner. >> dex: what are you talking

About? That's my company! I'm not going to sell out.

>> alexis: it's not Your company, it's ours.

I'll pay you above market value For your shares,

And then you can retire -- On your back, for all I care.

Name your price. >> dex: it's not for sale,

Alexis, and neither am I. >> alexis: I know.

You give yourself away. >> dex: look, whatever happened

Between amanda and me Was a mistake.

You've finally spoke the truth. >> dex: don't you know

I love you, That I've been fighting for you,

Trying to protect you From galen?

Protection from. Face it, dex --

Our marriage is dead. But if I have to do business

With you, I will. >> dex: you're damned right

You will. We're partners.

>> alexis: oh, no, we're not. We're enemies on a battlefield.

Just wait until you see What happens when I go to war

Because there'll be nobody Left standing except me!

So why don't you tuck your tail Between your legs and run along?

Get out.

Looking at a man Who takes charge, who is very

Grateful he's married to such A beautiful wife.

He's flying to lisbon in exile. He demanded I go with him.

>> amanda: in exile? Are you going?

I didn't say I obeyed. No, I'm staying here,

First my father, and now you.

>> sammy jo: he belongs to you. His name is bondos.

He's the most important stallion In our breeding program.

>> krystle: sammy jo, I know why you're doing this.

>> sammy jo: the least I can do To repay you and blake

For the money you lost To joel and rita.

>> krystle: look, I won't Pretend that I don't hold you

Responsible for what happened, But the money we lost

Isn't important. >> sammy jo: what do you mean,

Not important? It was a lot.

>> krystle: well, yes. That horse is worth a lot,

But I don't want things From you.

What I want is for you To change your life.

>> sammy jo: maybe it's Too late.

>> krystle: no, it isn't. Sammy jo, what happened here

Was terrible for everyone, But if you can learn from it --

If what happened can help you Turn your life around --

Well, then, it won't have been For nothing.

Do you know what I'm trying To say to you?

>> sammy jo: yes, Auntie krystle.

You'll see. I'll make it up to you.

I'll make you proud of me. >> blake: come in, darling.

>> amanda: hello, daddy. >> blake: hi.

Like some coffee? >> amanda: no, thanks,

But I would like to know Why you asked me here.

>> blake: all right. I asked you to come here

Because I wanted to talk Some business with you.

>> amanda: business? Ooh, that sounds important.

>> blake: Amanda, you are a carrington,

And that means that some day, All of this -- everything --

Is going to be partly yours. You do realize that, don't you?

>> amanda: well, I never really Think about it.

>> blake: well, perhaps It's time you did.

Now this conglomerate that I've Built goes beyond this office

And this building. It goes beyond denver.

That's what I wanted to talk To you about.

You've never been to hawaii, Have you?

>> amanda: no. >> blake: would you like to go?

>> amanda: well, yes. I mean, someday.

I hear it's beautiful. >> blake: perhaps I can speed up

The trip for you -- For both of us.

>> amanda: both of us? >> blake: mm-hmm. Yes.

Denver carrington's going to do Some building there.

How would you like To come with me?

We'll go over the plans Together, we'll inspect

The building sites, And after we're finished,

I'll take you on a guided tour Of all the islands.

What do you think? >> amanda: well,

It sounds lovely... But I don't think so.

>> blake: why not? >> amanda: well, I'll be honest

With you, daddy. I think you've hatched

This little plot to divert me, To get me away from dex.

And if it is, Do you really think that I'll

Stop thinking about him? >> blake: amanda,

What I'm trying to do Is to make you realize

How special you are to me. >> amanda: and dex is special

To me. Daddy, believe me,

I'm not ungrateful to you, And I really love you

For everything you've done For me, but the answer to hawaii

Is no. >> blake: because of dex.

>> amanda: because I'm in love With dex.

>> blake: amanda, you must know He's a sophisticated

Man of the world. He's been with dozens

And dozens of women. >> amanda: and I'm just

A passing fancy for him, Is that it?

>> blake: yes. Now, he may not mean to be

Doing it, but what he's doing Is using you.

>> amanda: using me? But for what?

>> blake: well, Alexis did divorce him,

And now he's using you To help him forget her.

Now, whatever I think Of that woman, I do know this --

She will not allow herself To be easily forgotten.

Amanda... All I want --

All any of us want -- Is for you to be happy.

You do understand that, Don't you?

>> steven: what just happened In the courtroom was round two,

Adam. If we lose another round

In this pipeline injunction, We could lose the whole fight.

>> adam: is that what you're Going to tell blake --

That we went into court today, Came up against bart fallmont,

And lost? >> steven: what would you

Tell him, that we won? >> adam: we're a long way

From the final round. The trouble with you is,

You never had to fight For anything, and I have.

And I've learned that if you're Going to win, sometimes you

Have to play dirty. >> steven: what are you

Talking about? >> adam: I don't believe

In heroes, steven, And that's what fallmont

And his family are In this state.

Well, maybe it's time we knocked Them off their pedestal.

>> steven: this isn't A personal fight, adam.

>> adam: then let's make it Personal.

Look, every closet Has a skeleton in it.

Let's just open the door And let it out.

>> steven: I don't even know What you're talking about.

>> adam: oh, come on, steven. I dropped by chris deacon's

Office party the other day. I saw you and fallmont

In deep conversation. >> steven: so?

>> adam: body language -- He couldn't keep his hands

Off you. >> steven: oh, that's such

A damn lie, adam! >> adam: steven, look, it's me.

It's adam you're trying to con. I can understand if you're

Trying to hide -- >> steven: understand this,

Adam -- I plan to win This battle because I think

We're right, but I swear, I'd rather lose

Than stoop to your level. Bart fallmont's life

Is his own business. We're gonna leave it that way.

>> adam: I've got work to do. >> bart: steven.

I overheard your conversation With your brother about me.

You could've gone along With his airing of dirty linen,

But you didn't, And I appreciate that.

>> steven: it's only dirty In your book, fallmont.

>> bart: you've already Gone public. I'm still --

>> steven: oh, still what -- In the closet?

Look, however you want to live Your life is your business,

But "Gone public" -- When was the last time

You heard someone straight Say he's "Gone public"?

>> bart: they don't have Anything to hide.

>> steven: neither do I. I don't think being gay

Is an issue, but being honest With yourself is.

You can only be blackmailed If you've got something to hide.

Admit who you are and you end up With all the power.

>> bart: or lose everything. Well, again, I do appreciate

Your not saying anything To your brother.

Thank you. >> amanda: why did you ask

To see me? >> dex: I was a fool

To send you away, amanda. I'm through with alexis.

>> amanda: or is she through With you?

>> dex: it's over. That's all that matters.

>> amanda: not quite. I know she won't take you back.

>> dex: that's right. And if that's the way

She wants it, That's what she'll get.

>> amanda: well, what if She changes her mind?

What if she waves Her little finger

And calls you back? Would you go?

>> dex: amanda, Forget alexis.

>> amanda: have you? >> amanda: oh, god, dex,

I want to believe you so much. >> dex: I want you.

Only you. >> steven: all right.

All right, I will. You too. Thanks for calling, claudia.

Bye. >> adam: claudia?

>> steven: that's right. >> adam: I came in here

To discuss the injunction Hearing tomorrow,

But I think we have More pressing business.

>> steven: like what? >> adam: like why were you

Talking to my wife, And where is she?

>> steven: adam, if claudia Wanted you to know

Where she was, I'm sure she'd tell you.

>> adam: you were the one Who spoke to her.

You tell me. >> steven: sorry, I can't.

I gave her my word. >> adam: and I thought you were

The one that was so insistent On us working together.

>> steven: when it comes To business, we have to,

But that's where it stops. >> sammy jo: oh! Wait!

Danny! You think you're gonna beat me

Today, huh? >> danny: yeah.

>> sammy jo: I don't know About that.

I'm pretty fast. We'll see.

>> amanda: sammy jo, Where are you taking danny?

>> sammy jo: for a walk. >> danny: no, mommy, a race!

>> sammy jo: that's right. Danny says he can beat me now.

You know something? I think he's right.

>> amanda: does steven know That you're taking him

Out of the house? >> sammy jo: danny, honey,

Why don't you go Into the kitchen

And ask mrs. Gunnerson For some milk and cookies?

I'll meet you in there, okay? >> danny: okay, mommy.

>> sammy jo: all right. Afraid I'll kidnap him, amanda?

>> amanda: it's happened before. >> sammy jo: look, I'm taking

My son for a walk. That's all.

>> amanda: well, then why don't I call steven and ask him

If it's all right? >> sammy jo: well,

What do we have here? Trying to fill fallon's shoes

As the young witch of the house, Amanda?

No wonder your marriage Is in trouble.

You're so busy holding on To your broomstick

That you can't even hold on To your own husband.

>> caress: let's get back To the subject

Of your mother, adam. >> adam: you do realize --

No, thank you -- That you haven't given me

A chance to eat my lunch. >> caress: I'm sorry.

There's so much I want to know, So many questions.

For instance, King galen of moldavia --

Suddenly he's gone, On his way to portugal.

Why? Are the rumors of a romance

Between your mother and him True?

>> adam: why not ask her? Or better yet, fly to portugal

And ask his ex-majesty. >> caress: I'm just trying

To do my job. >> adam: which you do very well.

>> caress: thank you. Now what about mr. Dexter?

He's moved out as well. So, that leaves your mother

With -- >> adam: you.

>> caress: what do you mean? >> adam: you don't need

To ask me any questions. I think you already know

All the answers. I saw you in this very room

Stalking alexis As if she were your prey,

Staring at her. Granted, news hens

Are a curious flock, But your curiosity goes beyond

The professional. Now, before I answer anything,

I want to know who you are And what you want.

>> caress: you've got A good memory.

>> adam: mm-hmm. >> caress: and the insight

Of a good lawyer. I'm not under oath,

But I'll tell you the truth, And nothing but the truth.

>> adam: please do. >> caress: your mother and I

Are old friends. I've been away for a while.

But I've read all about you -- Your kidnapping

And your sudden stunning reunion With your family.

I'm very glad for you. >> adam: you're avoiding

My questions. >> caress: always the lawyer.

>> adam: and the protective son. >> caress: all right.

Alexis and I parted On bad terms years ago.

I was hoping we could Get together again.

You fought your way back Into your mother's life.

And if I have to, I'll do the same.

>> man: and you never met That joel abrigore prior to --

>> sammy jo: I told you, Sergeant, I never met the man,

Not until rita introduced me -- >> man: wait a minute.

And you met that rita At a bar in new york, right?

>> sammy jo: look, if you want Me to tell you I met her

In salt lake city, utah, Okay, I met her in church.

>> man: that attitude is not Gonna help me find her, miss.

>> blake: well, what is Going to help, sergeant?

You people have had enough time On this thing.

Now you can take all the notes You want.

You can look under the couches, Go into the closets.

But is that going to find them? >> man: we're trying,

Mr. Carrington. >> blake: well, try harder!

>> man: we'll be in touch, sir. >> sammy jo: I'm sorry.

All of this is my fault. >> blake: you're doing

All you can. I know that.

Well, they may be able to hide From the police, but they're not

Going to hide from me. >> sammy jo: I just wish

There was something I could do To help.

>> blake: you have helped, And I appreciate it.

I want you to know that. >> sammy jo: morgan, it's me.

I've got to see you. Now.

>> morgan: no. No way.

>> sammy jo: it's easy, morgan. All you have to do

Is find two people. >> morgan: the last time

You told me it was easy, It cost me my license.

>> sammy jo: well, this won't Cost you anything.

And it's worth a lot of money To you.

>> morgan: oh, yeah? Tell me, samantha josephine,

What good is money gonna do me In jail?

>> sammy jo: I'm not asking you To do anything illegal.

>> morgan: hey, forget it. >> sammy jo: look, you have

No license and no money. All I'm asking you to do

Is take an all-expense-paid Vacation to rio.

Stay at the best hotel. 'cause my money says

That's where joel and rita are. Tell me when you find them,

Then you can retire. >> morgan: you don't have

That much money, sammy jo. >> sammy jo: oh, I've got it,

And I'm more than willing To spend it.

>> morgan: ah, no, thanks, lady. You're trouble.

>> sammy jo: why, mr. Hess, There was a time when you

Couldn't say no to me, Much less wanted to.

So I just want you to know that I will be waiting breathlessly

For you to get back. >> dex: we're through.

>> alexis: you overrated cowboy! You thought you owned me?

Well, nobody owns alexis! >> dex: and I told you

That I hadn't slept With any type after I met you.

>> alexis: so what? >> dex: after I'd fallen

In love with you. Except I didn't know

That what I'd fallen for Was a slut!

Oh! >> alexis: you moved out.

Now stay out. Dex?

Oh, my god. You bastard!

>> alexis: blake... Oh, blake.

The reason that you and I Have never stopped fighting

Is because you and I have never Stopped caring about each other.

The young, handsome, Hungry husband

Who shouted out to the world, "I'll show them!"

And you did. >> blake: I've never stopped

Loving you, and I never will. >> alexis: oh, blake.

Oh, blake, it's always been you. Always.

>> blake: very well. Ask her to come in here, please.

>> alexis: you know, You could make a fortune

Selling your secret. >> blake: what in the world

Are you talking about, anyway? >> alexis: you --

You're as handsome and vital As the day we first met.

>> blake: save your compliments, Alexis.

I don't know how you've got Nerve enough to come in here,

Anyway, after what you did. >> alexis: oh.

What kind of a greeting is that? >> blake: better than you

Deserve after that stunt You pulled, sending that

Reporter into our home Dressed like mary poppins.

Do you realize how painful That episode was for krystle?

>> alexis: yes, I'm sure it was, But I don't really want

To talk about krystle. I've got more important things

To discuss -- something That could affect not only us,

But the entire state Of colorado.

>> blake: such as? >> alexis: steven has come up

With the brilliant idea Of donating lake colby

And the surrounding acres To the state as a sanctuary

For wildlife. >> blake: fine.

What's that got to do With denver carrington?

>> alexis: well, it would Definitely offset any potential

Damage that the pipeline Would do to the wildlife.

>> blake: there will be no harm To the wildlife.

>> alexis: how can you be So sure of that?

Think of the public relations, Blake.

If both our companies did this As a joint venture,

It would prove How pro-environment we were.

And it would totally disarm Our critics.

So, why don't you look it over? And assuming you find

Nothing wrong with it, We can meet and discuss it

Later today -- Say, 6:00 in my office?

>> man: well, this headline Is our cue, my dear.

It's time we went to press. >> caress: my sister's

Relationship with king galen Is not my final chapter.

>> man: I want that book ready For the summer market,

Which means going to press now. >> caress: no, not yet.

There's one more chapter to go. >> man: caress, we have

Everything we need to make One bestseller out of this.

Nothing can top your material On zach powers

And what happened on his yacht. >> caress: trust me,

The wait will be worth it. There's one more chapter.

And judging from this, I'd say alexis needs

Her sister's loving support. It's time for a little visit.

>> alexis: cassandra, What a delightful surprise.

>> caress: it's caress now, Darling.

You remember how I always Hated cassandra.

>> alexis: I always loved it. Well, come and sit down

And have some lunch. I had them prepare

Something light Because I know you're always

On a diet. >> caress: oh, how thoughtful.

>> alexis: a little wine? >> caress: lovely.

How do you do it, alexis? >> alexis: do what?

>> caress: remain So fresh-looking

After all you've been through. >> alexis: darling, my life

Has been a fairy tale Compared to yours.

All those years in jail Must have been hell.

>> caress: yes. Well, all that's behind us

Now, isn't it? >> alexis: well,

It's behind you. And two years off

For good behavior. With whom?

Never mind. I'm really glad you're free.

>> caress: yes, I'm sure you are.

Well, you've certainly come A long way in five years.

>> alexis: yes. Put it down to a combination

Of business brains, Ruthlessness,

And feminine intuition. >> caress: and good timing.

You've always had perfect Timing, alexis.

>> alexis: yes. As mommy used to say,

Time serves us, Or we serve time.

So, now that you're...Out, What are your plans?

>> caress: I really haven't Made up my mind.

>> alexis: that doesn't sound Like you, cassandra.

>> caress: I'm just enjoying My freedom --

Staying at la mirage, And then back to england.

But not before I've had a chance To get to know my sister again.

>> dex: who is it?

>> krystle: it's krystle. >> dex: hello, krystle.

>> blake: well, I've been Studying steven's proposal,

And, uh, try as I might -- >> alexis: you can't find

A thing wrong with it. >> blake: that's right.

It's a damn good idea. There's one thing, though.

I feel that denver carrington Must reimburse colbyco

For our share Of that wildlife sanctuary.

>> alexis: say no more. Deal. >> blake: all right,

You've got a deal. >> alexis: you see how painless

That is, blake? You always suspect

The worst from me, But the fact is that you and I

Have a lot more in common Than you'd like to think.

>> blake: well, whatever We have in common,

Including 1961, Remember --

There have been more than 20 years with nothing in common.

I think perhaps it would be Better to keep it that way.

>> alexis: why? We could accomplish

So much together. >> blake: I'm running late,

Alexis. >> alexis: you're running away,

Blake. I've been going through

Our end-of-year reports On both our companies.

Denver carrington and colbyco Are wasting time and money

In competing with each other. We should join forces,

And then we could become One of the biggest

And most powerful oil companies In the world.

>> blake: are you talking About merger again?

Alexis, merging with you Would be a nightmare.

>> alexis: that's not fair, Blake.

Why every time we meet, Sparks fly?

It's because there's life Between us, blake --

A passion that's unique. >> blake: I'm afraid

I turned off that passion A long time ago.

Have your lawyers draw up An agreement on that

Lake property, And in the meantime --

>> alexis: I divorced dex. It's over between us.

>> alexis: I'm not. You see, every one

Of my marriages since you Has failed because I've been

Trying to recapture What you and I had.

You think you hate me, But you don't,

Because hate and love Are intertwined.

>> blake: whatever we had Died years ago,

And there's no way To breathe life into it.

I'll do business with you Because it makes sense.

We're going to be Strange bedfellows,

But only in the boardroom. Never in the bedroom.

>> alexis: every man I've ever loved

Has tried to control me. But not anymore.

Oh, I tried to become The wife you wanted,

The wife that dex needed, The woman to fit the mold.

But I broke that mold, And now I'm going to break you.

>> blake: I pity you, alexis. I really do.

>> alexis: save your pity! I'll make you pay

For this, blake. And I know just the man

Who's going to help me do it, Because he loathes you

As much as I do -- Your brother ben.
