For this state. >> bart: take a look at me,

Steven. What do you see? >> steven: a friend.

If none of this had ever Come out, if I'd stayed here

And run for the senate -- A carbon copy of my father.

Well, now I can be my own man. >> steven: and at what cost --

Not only to you, But to your whole family?

I'm going to get back at adam For this.

>> bart: I owe him a favor, Steven!

Don't you see that I've been Living a lie?

I've been hiding behind One excuse after another.

If I'd stayed here And run for the senate,

Been elected, I'd still be hiding.

Forget about adam's motives. Look at the result.

I am a free man, and I've never Been happier in my life!

I've been offered a job In washington

At the environmental Protection agency.

>> steven: you gonna take it? >> bart: well, it's the kind

Of work I believe in. I'm getting used to fighting

Uphill battles, and that'll Certainly be one, huh?

>> steven: when are you leaving? >> bart: as soon as I finish

Packing. Come with me.

>> steven: no, no, bart. I can't.

And where she is. >> alexis: woman? What woman?

>> blake: the woman who was With my brother

The day my mother died. >> alexis: look, blake,

The hearing is over. You lost. Now, I have missed

My daughter's wedding, So since you're here,

You might as well tell me About it.

>> blake: you will do anything, Won't you? You'll even use

Your daughter's wedding To avoid the truth.

>> alexis: frankly, I'll do anything to avoid

Dealing with you. >> blake: all right, you want

To fight on that level? Fine. Two weeks ago, you were a woman

Begging me to take you back. >> alexis: begging?

I have never begged for anything Or anyone in my life.

>> blake: you sat on that couch, Champagne glass in hand,

Sincerely confessing Your undying love.

>> alexis: I have never heard Of anything so absurd!

Now, either tell me About my daughter's wedding

Or leave, because you bore me. >> blake: it must be

Very confusing for you Trying to separate the truth

From your lies. Now, which one's the lie?

Two weeks ago in this office Or on the stand

In that courtroom When you perjured yourself,

Or were they both lies? >> alexis: if I lied,

You taught me how to do it. You made some vows to me once

To love, honor, and cherish me Till death do us part.

Well, you lied to me then, So consider us even.

>> blake: and you're doing All this,

Perjuring yourself under oath, Risking everything you have,

Because I wouldn't fall back Into your clutches?

Is that it? Alexis, I stopped loving you

A lifetime ago. And no matter how many times

You lie, nothing is ever going To change that.

>> alexis: and I stopped Loving you, too.

You threw me out of your life And my children's lives.

You left me for dead. Well, I'm back now,

And I don't care how long It takes or what it takes,

I shall ruin you.

Mrs. Colby. >> alexis: and I don't run

He's waiting for us there. >> blake: fine. Let's go.

>> woman: mr. Carrington, Senator fallmont's

Out there, But I just wanted to --

>> blake: no, I got a few minutes.

>> buck: well, pretty good. I was just sitting here

Thinking. Blake carrington

And buck fallmont never had Anything in common...

Except their antagonism. >> blake: yes,

But we do have now, don't we? >> buck: our sons.

I just don't know what to do. Bart is leaving,

Turning his back on all the... Dreams that we had for him.

I see nothing gay in the life He's going to lead, but...

>> blake: maybe not, But it is his life, isn't it?

>> buck: I just can't Let him go.

>> blake: but you can't Stop him, either,

Because if you do, You're going to lose him.

Believe me, I have been there. >> buck: but the plans

That we had for him, blake. They didn't stop at the senate,

You know that. >> blake: did you ever sit down

And ask him what he thought About those plans?

>> buck: certainly. He never objected. Ever.

Not once. >> blake: maybe he was afraid.

>> buck: so, what do I do, Sit back and...

Watch him throw away his future? >> blake: bart's a strong

Young man. I think he's going to be

Just fine. >> buck: I do, too.

Actually, it's emily I'm worried about.

She's just devastated About all this.

You know, I remember When I first was elected

To the state house. I had to move to denver.

Emily stayed behind with The boys in colorado springs,

And you know, I think that was --

>> blake: no, no, wait, I believe emily is going

To have to face the facts That they're no longer boys.

They're grown men. They're going to have to make

Their own decisions And their own mistakes,

Just the way my sons do. >> buck: look, uh,

You get back to your people. I just, uh,

Well, I... I just wanted to thank you

For the talk. It, uh, well, it helps.

>> blake: anytime you want To talk, buck, I'm here.

>> steven: adam, do you realize What you've done?

>> adam: would you hold it For me, please?

What are you talking about? >> steven: I'm talking

About bart fallmont. >> adam: oh,

Your intimate friend. >> steven: you destroyed

His career. He could've been A great senator.

>> adam: shades of camelot? Steven, camelot's a dream.

I deal in reality. The reality is, I got a pipeline

Through colorado. That was my job.

>> steven: no matter who you Trample on to get it.

>> adam: when you grow up, You'll realize the pipeline

Was worth it. Excuse me. Thank you.

>> hall: hello, franklin.

>> dan: mr. Carrington, Come in, please.

I'd, uh, ask you To sit down, but...

Nothing too clean here. >> blake: well, we're not here

To sit and chat, mr. Franklin. We want to hear one thing

From you. Why didn't you tell the truth

In that courtroom? >> dan: when you're a drunk,

Mr. Carrington, Truth only comes out

Of a bottle. And then it's usually paid for

By somebody else. >> blake: so you were paid

To lie. I suspected that.

>> dan: mr. Carrington, I'm a family man, like you.

Except the only thing I ever gave my family

Was trouble. I thought I'd make up for it

By... But the money

All went on booze. I never saw a dime of it.

>> blake: are you telling me You want me to pay you

To tell the truth? >> dan: oh, no,

No, mr. Carrington. Look around you.

There's no bottles. I've been sober for two days.

This time I'm going to stay sober.

And, by god, for once in my life I'm going to tell the truth.

You just tell me when And where.

>> blake: all right, Mr. Franklin,

That's what I wanted to hear. All right, now,

When is two days from now, Where is the county courthouse.

There are going to be a couple Of people in that courtroom

That are going to be in For one hell of a surprise.

>> steven: oh, for god's sake, Mother, I'm not accusing you

Of anything. I'm asking you.

Forget the courtroom. This is between you and me.

Is what you said About dad true or not?

>> alexis: everything I said Was true -- everything.

Your father was my first lover, We were engaged...

>> steven: and the rest? >> alexis: look, steven,

I know that you do love blake. After all, he is your father.

What about me? What about the loyalty

And respect that you owe me? >> steven: that's not the point.

>> alexis: oh, but I think It is the point.

Tell me something. Have you gone to blake,

Have you asked him To tell you the truth?

>> steven: I will. >> alexis: and then what?

You'll have to choose Between us, won't you?

And that's going to be difficult For you because you are

On his board of directors. >> steven: I didn't ask

To be in this position. Mother, it's not that I don't

Love you -- I do love you. >> alexis: oh, and I love you,

Too, steven. But sometimes I wonder

If you wouldn't prefer me To be the sort of mother

Who bakes brownies And sets the table

And greeted her family Every night

With "Have you had a nice day, Darling?"

>> steven: oh, that's not what I'm talking about.

>> alexis: well, I've never been That kind of wife

Or that kind of mother, And if you really love me,

Steven, then you will accept me For who and what I am

And you will give me The same kind of love

And respect That you give your father.

Is that clear?

>> dominique: hello. >> jackie: mother, it's me.

>> dominique: jackie, Where are you?

>> jackie: I just wanted To let you know

That I'm all right. >> dominique: I want you

To come home. >> jackie: don't start again,

Mother. >> dominique: jackie...

What do you want me to do? The last time you called,

You hung up before I could Find out where you were.

All I am asking Is that you come home

And then we can talk about it. >> jackie: about what?

We talked about my father For years, and it was all lies.

If I come home again, It'll just be more of the same.

>> dominique: no, I promise it won't!

>> jackie: don't promise me Anything, mother.

I just -- I need time To sort things out for myself.

>> dominique: but we can Do that together.

>> jackie: I can't. >> dominique: jackie,

I insist that you tell me Where you are.

>> jackie: I'm sorry. >> dominique: jackie.

Oh, we can talk, jackie. >> alexis: how did you get

In here? >> caress: your secretary

To talk about. >> alexis: now that I own

Your testimony on the stand. You weren't with blake

The day of the fire. >> alexis: really.

Is that why you're here? >> claudia: I don't want

To see you hurt, and I don't Want to see blake hurt, either.

>> steven: you could've Fooled me, claudia.

You did a real hatchet job On him.

>> claudia: I was subpoenaed To testify,

Just the way you were. And ben's lawyer twisted

My words, Just like he twisted yours.

>> steven: with one difference. I hated saying

What I had to say. You were champing at the bit.

I don't believe this sympathy. So unless you've got

Something else to say, I've got work to do.

>> claudia: you think I'm your enemy, don't you?

Well, I'm not. You and I have something

In common -- adam. He leaked that story

And bart's not the only one That he hurt.

He hurt me, too, And he's going to go after you

>> blake: no, no, no. From what I hear, he's the best

Demolitions man in the state. >> dex: yes, he is.

He got out to the site A couple hours ago.

Look, blake, just in case You hear some other news,

Yes, I did see amanda At la mirage.

We had a brief encounter. >> blake: oh, I believe we can

And I want to make it up to you. >> adam: what do you want?

>> claudia: oh, adam, I think That's obvious.

I'm your wife, And I want you.

>> adam: you're my wife Who moved out,

Who's now living at la mirage. >> claudia: you're right.

It was a bad idea. >> adam: and I thrive

On bad ideas, claudia. You just don't happen

To be one of them anymore. I'm going to get myself a drink.

And when I get back, I don't want to see you here.

>> alexis: I want To congratulate crenshaw.

>> ben: the hearing isn't Exactly over yet, alexis.

Aren't you being A little premature?

>> alexis: ben, faint heart Never won, and I seldom lose.

Mr. Crenshaw. >> crenshaw: ah, mrs. Colby.

>> alexis: this is the day We've been waiting for.

>> crenshaw: yes, it is. It certainly is.

>> alexis: I just want To tell you

That I think you've done An absolutely brilliant job.

>> crenshaw: well, Thank you very much.

As they told me in law school, In cases like this, you have

To have a little confidence, A little assurance,

And no reluctance whatsoever To go for the jugular.

Then you just watch your step As the witnesses expire

Around you one by one. >> ben: you've learned

Your lesson well. >> crenshaw: you've probably

Heard this before, mrs. Colby, But you have, um...

How shall I put it? A, uh, very beguiling smile.

>> alexis: thank you. >> crenshaw: I hope it doesn't

Leave your lovely face When colbyco gets my bill.

>> alexis: oh, no, I shall Smile all day and probably

For the rest of the week. >> crenshaw: ha ha ha.

>> ben: blake, I don't think Even you can buy your way

Out of this one. >> blake: I won't have to.

By the way, alexis, What is the penalty

For perjury? >> alexis: perjury?

I don't know What you're talking about.

>> judge thurlowe: I have Reopened this case

To allow additional testimony. The decision will be rendered

Following the close Of all testimony.

>> judge thurlowe: mrs. Davis. >> davis: yes, your honor.

The defense recalls Mr. Franklin to the stand.

>> crenshaw: objection, Your honor.

>> judge thurlowe: overruled, Mr. Crenshaw.

Get on with this. >> davis: mr. Franklin,

May I remind you You're still under oath?

You testified That it was ben carrington

Who was in the fields with you On the day of the fire.

Do you wish to change That testimony?

Mr. Franklin. >> dan: me and...

Me and marie had only been Married six months.

You make promises, you know? >> davis: mr. Franklin.

On the day of the fire... >> dan: I never loved nobody

To you, mr. Franklin. >> dan: she was the only one

Your honor. >> judge thurlowe: move

This witness. >> dan: marie really loves me...

>> man: come with me. >> judge thurlowe: mrs. Davis,

How dare you waste This court's time

By bringing a witness In this condition

Into this courtroom? >> davis: your honor,

I had no idea. If you would grant us

A continuance... >> judge thurlowe: I've reached

A decision. >> judge thurlowe: this court

Has heard conflicting testimony From both the plaintiff

And the defendant, Not only in regard

To the circumstances Surrounding ellen carrington's

Tragic death, But as to the relationship

Of each son to his father. Did blake carrington exert

Undue influence On tom carrington,

Resulting in the deceased Excluding his younger son

From his estate? Did, in fact, blake carrington

Lie to his father concerning Ellen carrington's death

For the sole purpose of evading His own responsibility

In that death And to further enhance

The estrangement between Ben carrington and his father?

In this court's opinion, The evidence

Supports the conclusion That he did.

It is the judgment of this court That benjamin carrington

Be awarded one-fourth Of his father's estate.

This court is adjourned.

Blake. We can't let alexis get away

>> crenshaw: at these prices, I should hope so.

>> alexis: blake. Make it a cashier's check,

Will you? We wouldn't want it to bounce.

>> krystle: god, How I hate that woman.

>> man: how are you going To spend your money,

Mr. Carrington? Any ideas? >> woman: are you going

To help him, mrs. Colby? >> alexis: well, it isn't

The money that's important. It's the fact

That justice has been done. >> man: how do you feel
