>> adam: you wanted
To see me, father.

>> blake: yes, adam.
I want you to see these figures

I just got.
Very gratifying.

I knew those colbyco
Stockholders would come around.

>> adam: according
To the last reports,

They were deserting in droves.
>> blake: well,

I'm offering them $60 a share
For stock that's listed at $40.

They'd be fools not to sell.
>> adam: you went up to $60?

>> blake: mm-hmm.
>> adam: how much is this going

To cost you in the long run?
>> blake: by the time

I'm through,
It could cost a fortune,

But it'll be worth it
Because I'll have colbyco,

And I'll have alexis.
>> adam: father,

Are you sure this is
The wisest way to go about this?

>> blake: I know
What I'm doing, adam.

We can't miss.
>> adam: the debt

You're incurring is enormous.
I think it's dangerous.

>> blake: you were
All for this takeover

At the board meeting.
>> adam: I still am.

I'm also urging caution.
>> blake: caution

Is for street signs, son.
Caution never won a war.

>> adam: I only hope
You're not letting

Your antagonism towards mother
Cloud your judgment.

>> blake: this is
Between me and your mother,

And I'll worry
About my judgment.

>> adam: so much
For my concerned opinion.

>> blake: wait.
Yes.

Yes, the debt is enormous,
But our south china sea leases

Are going to be
An endless source of income,

And they'll more than cover
The debt, should there be one.

Nothing is going to change that.
>> alexis: well done, george.

I'll get those figures
To the chinese

As soon as possible,
And tell minister han

That I want to meet with him
In hong kong in a few days.

Ha ha ha.
It's happening, ben.

It's all happening.
I cannot wait

To see blake's face when he sees
His new oil production figures.

>> ben: what happens
If he discovers

You've doctored them?
My brother's a smart man.

>> alexis: he's not as smart
As I am.

I am going
To double-cross blake carrington

Like no man has ever been
Double-crossed before.

He's going to lose everything.
>> ben: you're so sure

About that.
>> alexis: I'm going to mark

The date in my calendar.
In one week, I am going to own

100% of the most valuable
Oil leases in the world,

And after that, I am going
To own denver carrington.

>> ben: well,
We'll celebrate together.

>> alexis: will we?
>> ben: yeah.

A ton of caviar --
Your favorite kind --

And that'll only be
The appetizer.

>> alexis: tell me something,
Ben --

What are you really after?
>> ben: what kind of question

Is that?
>> alexis: you're certainly

Not staying in denver
Because it's more exciting

Than rio or paris.
You're worth a fortune now.

You could go anywhere you want,
Do anything you want.

>> ben: but I wouldn't
Be near you, for one thing.

>> alexis: what?
>> ben: and for another,

I wouldn't be able to split
Those oil leases with you.

>> alexis: split them?
You must be joking.

>> ben: consider the facts,
Alexis --

This whole thing started
When you came to get me

In australia.
None of it would have happened

Without me.
Your phony figure scheme

Wouldn't stand a chance
With the chinese

If it weren't for the damage
We did to blake's good name

At the trial.
We did -- together.

You and I.
So you owe me, alexis.

>> alexis: oh, no, ben.
Oh, no.

I don't owe you a damned thing.
$125 million --

One-quarter
Of your father's estate --

That was our bargain,
And now we're even,

As far as I'm concerned.
I may be into a lot of things,

But charity to you
Is definitely not one of them.

>> dex:
>> ben: what the hell

Was that all about, dexter?
>> dex: it was just chinese

For "Watch out, bandit."
You apparently understood.

>> ben: I did not.
You just startled me.

>> dex: bartender,
I'll take a beer.

So, uh, alexis found you
Down in australia.

How long you live down there?
>> ben: what business

Is it of yours?
>> dex: look, carrington,

I asked you something.
I just want an answer.

I'd rather not make a scene.
>> ben: 20 years, give or take.

And don't try to threaten me,
Dex, or the scene

Might backfire on you.
>> dex: 20 years.

How many trips, uh,
Did you make from australia

Over to china?
>> ben: what?

>> dex: you heard me.
I told you I recognized you

From somewhere, carrington.
The little map in my head,

It says shanghai --
The port area.

>> ben: you know something,
Dexter?

I think that little map
In your head is like

The eggs I had for breakfast --
Scrambled.

>> alexis: so, ben carrington
Reminds you of a caucasian male,

Blond, blue-eyed,
And who was in china once,

And who could either be american
Or british

Or possibly scandinavian,
And who was obviously a figment

Of your vivid imagination.
>> dex: it was carrington,

Alexis.
>> alexis: and what exactly

Are you accusing him of?
>> dex: of lying to me today,

Of maybe lying to you
These past few weeks,

Of possibly being
Up to something

That's going to get you
In trouble of some kind.

>> alexis: how dramatic.
What a pity

That my sister isn't here.
She could write another piece

Of trashy fiction about it.
>> dex: be careful of him.

>> alexis: wary,
Watchful, suspicious --

The way I wasn't about you.
>> dex: look,

I already told you, that thing
With amanda was a mistake.

>> alexis: a mistake?
It was a stiletto, dex,

And you'll never know
How much it hurt me.

But I decided that you
Just weren't worth the pain.

In fact, none of my ex-husbands
Have been worth a damn,

And as for ben carrington,
I'm perfectly capable

Of doing character analyses
Without your help.

>> dex: so everything's
Just fine, new romance and all.

>> alexis: there isn't
A new romance.

We're just business partners.
And yes, everything's just fine.

>> dex: somehow,
I just don't believe that,

On either count.
I know you, alexis.

>> alexis: no, you don't, dex.
I intend to keep it that way.

>> dex: just be careful of him.
The guy is trouble.

>> blake: just as soon as
I buy up enough colbyco stock --

And that's going
To be very soon --

I'm going to have alexis
Right where I want her --

In the street.
>> krystle: blake...

Is there any way this can fail,
Something alexis can do?

I mean, she's not blind
To what's going on.

She's probably sitting up nights
Trying to figure out

Ways of fighting you.
>> blake: krystle, darling,

Everything is going to be fine,
Believe me.

>> gerard: excuse me,

Mr. Carrington.
This cable just arrived.

>> blake: oh, thank you, gerard.
>> gerard: will that be all,

Mrs. Carrington?
>> krystle: yes, thank you.

>> blake: from china --
Minister han.

>> krystle: what is it?
>> blake: "Urgent --

Reports of discrepancies
In your royalty payments

On the oil leases
Has come to our attention.

Please come to hong kong
Immediately, where we will meet

To discuss the above.
Minister han."

>> blake: discrepancies
In the payments?

Now, what the devil
Could he mean by that?

>> alexis: are you insinuating
That I had something

To do with this?
>> blake: that's

Exactly what I'm doing.
>> alexis: ha ha ha.

>> blake: I know
You're up to something.

What kind of a dirty trick
Are you pulling this time?

>> alexis: I'm not
Up to any dirty tricks,

And may I remind you
That since I own

25% of those oil leases,
Why would I want

To put them in jeopardy?
>> blake: knowing you,

To get the other 75%.
>> alexis: that's absurd.

If there are any discrepancies
In the royalty payments,

I can only assume that
It's due to denver carrington's

Usual slackness
And inefficiency, which,

Of course, will all change
When I take over the company.

>> blake: no, no, no, alexis.
The takeover's going to be

In the other direction.
It won't be too long

Before we'll have colbyco,
And high on my list of assets

Will be the fact that I'll never
Have to deal with you again.

I don't know what this is about,
But I'll clear it up

Just as soon as I have
My meeting with mr. Han.

Uh, don't bother to see me out.
>> alexis: this is mrs. Colby.

There's been a change of plan.
I want you to have my plane

Ready for takeoff
To hong kong tonight.

Yes, you heard me correctly --
Tonight.

>> man: these figures
On how much oil blake carrington

Has been pumping
Out of the south china sea --

You say they're false?
>> alexis: yes.

I hate to say this
About somebody

That I have to do business with,
But the other document

Represents the accurate figures.
>> man: why should I believe

Any of this, mrs. Colby?
You do realize

You are accusing the man
Of cheating my government

Out of millions of dollars
Of royalties.

>> alexis: yes, I certainly do,
But you have just said

The operative word --
"Cheating."

>> man: meaning exactly...
>> alexis: here is a transcript

Of the trial
That blake carrington

Was recently involved in
In which the judge ruled

That he had cheated
His own brother

Out of his inheritance,
And he was also implicated

In his mother's death,
Which he had blamed

On his brother for years.
It's all there for you to read,

Including the fact
That blake was found guilty

Of the most flagrant lies.
Now, do you still question

The accuracy of my figures?
>> man: I've always known

Blake carrington to be
A man of total honor,

And, frankly,
This news disturbs me.

>> alexis: oh, well,
I can understand that,

Because it disturbs me, too.
After all, he is

The father of my children.
But we are talking

About a huge business venture
Between our two countries

In which there are
Major financial stakes.

I cannot possibly stand by
And see your country swindled.

>> man: if this is all true,
What do you propose, mrs. Colby?

>> alexis: simply this --
Since I already own 25%

Of the south china sea
Oil leases,

If you give me full control,
I will see

That the fraud is corrected.
>> man: "Simply this"?

Nothing in life
Is really that simple, is it?

Not in your country
Nor in mine.

But I thank you for bringing
This situation to my attention,

And I'll consider your request.
>> alexis: thank you, minister.

You've been most gracious.
I know that this has been

As difficult for you
As it has for me.

This has probably been
One of the most important trips

Of my life.
Goodbye.

>> steven: dad?
>> blake: yes?

>> steven: before you leave
For the airport,

I need your help.
>> blake: what is it, steven?

>> steven: when you put me
On your board of directors,

You gave me carte blanche to do
A full financial review, right?

>> blake: right. Why?
Some problems?

>> steven: no, no, it's just
That a few departments'

Expenditures are way up
From last year,

And I want to know why.
>> blake: what's stopping you?

>> steven: certain elements
Here at denver carrington

Aren't exactly cooperating.
>> blake: certain elements? Who?

>> steven: well,
That's not really important.

I just need --
>> blake: it is to me. Who?

>> steven: adam is one of them.
>> blake: adam?

Who else?
I asked you a question, steven.

>> steven: it's --
It's only adam.

>> blake: did he say
Why he wasn't cooperating?

>> steven: no.
No, he just refused

To let me see certain files,
And we had words about it.

>> blake: my god.
When are you two going to learn

To live together
And work together?

Now, son,
This may be nothing at all,

But when I get back,
I'll have a talk

With your brother about this,
But in the meantime,

You do what you feel is right.
As a matter of fact,

I'll back you up.
I'll write a memo

Saying that you have access
To all the files,

Every one of them.
>> steven: good.

Thank you. I appreciate it.
I, uh, hope your trip goes well

And that you get the situation
In hong kong straightened out.

>> blake: I'm sure we will.
Bye-bye.

See you in a couple of days.
>> steven: all right.

>> clay: ho!
>> clay: hey, greg,

Let's take a break, okay?
Amanda.

>> amanda: hi, clay.
>> clay: who are you

Playing tennis with?
>> amanda: I just played

Three tough sets
With kate barres,

And she beat me in a tiebreaker.
>> clay: ha ha.

You look good.
>> amanda: I feel good.

In fact, I feel very good.
>> clay: you'll never know

How happy I am that your mother
Was able to get to you before...

>> amanda: before what?
>> clay: well,

I'm just glad that you're
Back in the world again,

And I'm sorry I hadn't sensed
How much trouble you were in

The night before.
I didn't.

>> amanda: look, clay,
You did try and help me.

It's just
That I wasn't very receptive.

But I don't want people
Feeling sorry for me anymore.

If I've learned anything
From this experience,

It's that pity
Can't give me strength.

That has to come from inside.
>> clay: it's funny.

>> amanda: what is?
>> clay: I told sammy jo

That you would learn
From the experience,

And you have.
>> amanda: sammy jo?

>> clay: yeah.
>> amanda: is she the one

Who told you about me?
>> clay: well, yeah.

She thought I'd want to know.
>> amanda: oh,

She thought you'd want to know.
I see.

Clay, would you
Excuse me, please?

I've got to go.
>> clay: what --

>> sammy jo: I want

An explanation
On this latest feed bill.

You could have gotten it
For 20% less

If you bought it from the people
My father used to deal with.

I'll call you back.
My maid said you phoned,

But you said you weren't going
To be here till 3:00.

>> amanda: well, I hope
I'm not interrupting your snack

Or your big business dealings.
>> sammy jo: what is it, amanda?

>> amanda: I don't appreciate
Your telling clay fallmont

About what happened to me.
>> sammy jo: the pills.

I'm sorry, amanda.
I shouldn't have

Opened my mouth.
>> amanda: you damned well

Know it.
>> sammy jo: I said I'm sorry.

>> amanda: well,
From what I've heard, sammy jo,

There's a big risk
In believing anything you say.

Just let me make it clear --
What I do with my life

Is my personal business.
>> sammy jo: oh,

Could that personal business
Be a good-looking guy

Named clay fallmont?
Tell me something, amanda --

Would you have come here at all
If I had told some joe doe

About what happened
And not clay?

That is what's bothering you,
Isn't it?

I just told the wrong guy.
>> amanda: clay fallmont

Has absolutely nothing
To do with this.

>> sammy jo: look, I might have
Been born dirt poor,

But it seems like
A senator's son prefers me

Over born rich types like you,
So I'm riding high, amanda.

>> amanda: or heading
For a fall, sammy jo.

>> sammy jo: look,
I've got work to do,

So there's the door.
>> sammy jo: I'd like to speak

To clay fallmont, please.
>> adam: what the hell

Are you doing?
>> steven: you saw the memo

From dad.
I have access

To all denver carrington files,
Including yours.

>> adam: that memo
Read "Employees' files," steven.

I'm a vice-president here,
So hands off.

>> steven: tell me something,
Adam, if you had grown up

In this family instead
Of coming into it so late,

Would you still be so devious?
>> adam: ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Meaning, would I otherwise be
A stalwart and upright

Carrington like you
Who sets his father

Against his brother?
>> steven: I'm doing

No such thing.
It's just that those

Purchase orders don't add up.
So if you have

Nothing to worry about,
Give me the information

That I want.
Straighten me out.

>> adam: you listen to me,
Steven.

Denver carrington is my turf,
Not yours.

And until father gets back
From hong kong

To tell me personally
That you can see

Whatever you want
In this office,

You're going to have to wait.
>> steven: why don't we

Just call him up right now?
>> adam: oh, for god's sake,

Steven,
He's got more important

Business on his mind than
Your concerns and suspicions

About a few files
Or one or two irregularities --

So-called.
>> steven: you're hiding

Something, adam,
And I don't know what it is yet,

But I'll find out eventually.
>> adam: meg, there are

Some papers I've got to shred.
Is the room open?

Thank you.
>> ben: the roses may be

Courtesy of the hotel,
But the orchids are from me.

Surprised to see me, alexis?
>> alexis: nothing you do

Surprises me, ben.
What are you doing in hong kong?

>> ben: oh, I need
A new wardrobe.

What better place to get one?
>> alexis: really.

I'd like to know
What you're really doing here.

>> ben: he who is not jealous
Is not in love.

In case you haven't noticed,
I'm in love with you, alexis.

>> alexis: and you're telling me
That you're jealous?

Of whom?
>> ben: your friend mr. Lu.

I overheard --
The day you phoned him

In san francisco,
I got the feeling you were

Intimating a favor...
In return for setting up

A meeting
With the chinese oil minister.

What's his name?
>> alexis: his name is...

None of your business.
>> ben: well, anyway,

The thought of you and mr. Lu
Together bothered me enough

To send me
Halfway around the world.

>> alexis: that is a lot
Of bother.

>> ben: and a lot of love.
I always have loved you, alexis,

And you know it.
>> alexis: ben,

Look, I know that you had
A teenage crush on me

Years ago when I married blake,
And you were jealous then,

But mr. Lu?
I just don't buy that.

Anyway, I'm rather tired,
And I'd like to go to my room,

And I think you'd better go
To yours.

I presume you do have a room
At this hotel.

>> ben: I do, but I don't intend
To spend the night in it.

>> alexis: ben, I don't really
Think that you have a choice...

Unless you want to go
To the harbor and find yourself

A bird on some junk.
>> ben: alexis, haven't you

Pretended long enough
That you don't want me

As much as I want you?
It's only a matter of time

Before I get you.
>> blake: incredible.

I don't know where minister han
Got his figures

On the royalty payments,
But it doesn't make sense.

Here, take a look at this.
Those are denver carrington

Figures.
Compare them with their figures.

>> krystle: well, at least
You have the documentation

To prove that yours
Are accurate.

I'm just concerned
That you have to answer

To the chinese government.
>> blake: well, in this case,

The chinese government
Boils down to one man --

Minister han.
He happens to be

A very intelligent man.
I'm sure that he and I will be

Able to straighten this out.
>> krystle: well, I know alexis

Denied having anything to do
With this, but we both know

What that's worth.
>> krystle: hello.

This is mrs. Carrington.
Has a mrs. Colby checked in yet?

>> blake: what are you doing?
>> krystle: I see.

Thank you.
She's here, blake.

She's in hong kong.
>> blake: I knew she'd have

Her finger in the pie somewhere.
I've got to go, darling.

I've got that appointment
With mr. Han.

I'll see you sometime
This afternoon.

>> krystle: bye.
I think I'll have

A little talk with alexis.

>> alexis: come in.
>> ben: well,

Breakfast already.
Good morning.

>> alexis: what's good about it?
>> ben: I have a proposition

To make to you, alexis.
>> alexis: hmm...

You made one last night.
I turned you down, remember?

>> ben: you wouldn't be
So edgy this morning

If you'd taken me up on it.
>> alexis: I am not edgy.

I have a lot of things
On my mind.

>> ben: I wish you'd stop
Thinking of me as some sort

Of distraction.
>> alexis: what do you want

To be then --
My business partner?

Isn't that part
Of your obsession with me?

>> ben: look, I said it
Last night --

I'm in love with you.
And I meant it.

What if you and I did become
Partners?

We'd make a world-class team.
>> alexis: share the profits

As well as the problems.
No thank you.

Colbyco is doing very nicely
With just one person

Running it -- me.
>> ben: consider this, alexis.

The two of us setting up
A new company.

I'll put in my $125 million,
You put in whatever you think

Is fair,
And we'll work together.

>> alexis: you never give up,
Do you?

No, I am cured
Of business partnerships

With men forever.
You can thank "Dex" dexter

And your dear brother for that.
>> blake: as you can see, sir,

Those figures are correct.
And they're substantiated

By your own reports.
>> han: then how do you account

For the discrepancies,
Mr. Carrington?

>> blake: we all have enemies,
Mr. Han.

I have several.
I can only assume

That one of them
Falsified those reports.

>> han: someone who is...
Out to get you.

That is the expression,
Huh?

>> blake: yes.
>> han: I'll have

To consider that a possibility,
Of course.

Just, uh,
I'll have to be very honest

With you right now,
Mr. Carrington.

Those figures are not
The only reason

I have to see you.
There's another matter

I have to know more about.
>> blake: and what

Might that be?
>> han: the legal matter

Brought against you
By your brother.

As we understand it,
You were convicted

In a court of law
For cheating your brother,

As well as abandoning
Your mother...

Leaving her to die?
>> blake: mr. Han,

Those accusations were lies.
>> han: I didn't say

That I personally believe them.
>> blake: yes, but you do feel

That it might affect our deal.
Is that what you're trying

To say, sir?
>> han: as you know,

We here in asia
Value honor very highly.

We have to consider
The man's character,

As well as his skills,
When choosing a partner.

Now, those are
Very serious charges.

>> blake: mr. Han,
My brother and my ex-wife

Both perjured themselves
In that courtroom

For their own rotten gain.
Now, sir,

I've spent a lifetime
Establishing a business

Based on integrity,
On principle, on honor,

On truth.
I've tried to inculcate

Those principles
In my children, as well.

And no one --
Not you, not your government,

No one --
Has the right

To question my character.
>> han: go on, mr. Carrington.

I'm ready to hear whatever truth
You have in your defense.

>> alexis: these are lovely.
>> man: and one of a kind.

You'll not find another strand
Like it in all the world.

>> alexis: hmm.
Thank you.

>> man: I'll leave you
To decide.

>> alexis: well, well,
What a coincidence --

The two of us in hong kong
In the same shop

At the same time.
>> krystle: coincidence?

I've been looking all over
Hong kong for you.

>> alexis: oh, yes,
To tell me that your husband

Has got a problem.
So I've heard.

>> krystle: well, I'll bet
You did more than just hear,

Alexis.
I think you're behind it.

>> alexis: look,
If blake's been cheating

The chinese, don't accuse me.
All I'm doing is looking out

For my leases.
>> krystle: and for no

Other reason?
>> alexis: well,

Do some shopping, naturally.
>> krystle: you're not going

To hurt blake, alexis.
No matter how hard you try,

You're not.
>> alexis: you know, I'm really

Not sure about these pearls.
They're...So dowdy.

They might look good on you.
Then again,

Where would you wear them
After blake goes broke?

To a cafeteria.
Damn.

>> krystle: you know
That old saying, alexis --

You break 'em, you bought 'em.
What a perfect picture --

Pearls before swine.
>> man: and I'm sure

You'd like flowers, right?
>> dominique: like flow--

That's nice.
I want that room

Filled with flowers,
All colors --

The happiest ones you can find.
>> man: of course,

Ms. Deveraux.
And congratulations to you

And mr. Boydston,
From all of us here

At la mirage.
>> dominique: how nice.

Thank you very much.
>> man: my pleasure.

>> dominique: jackie.
>> jackie: mother.

>> dominique: I have hardly
Seen you

Since our disagreement.
>> jackie: I guess

I needed time
To think about some things.

I want to apologize
For the way I've been acting.

>> dominique: I owe you
An apology, too, jackie,

For all the heartache
That I have caused you.

>> jackie: my father was married
To somebody else.

What else could you do?
>> dominique: I just --

I didn't know how to explain it
To you when you were

A little girl.
And then

The years passed, and I still
Found it difficult to explain --

>> jackie: I know, I know.
What matters now

Is that you and garrett
Are going to be engaged,

And we can all be together --
My mother,

My father,
And me.

It's so wonderful.
I can hardly believe it.

>> dominique: it is wonderful,
Darling,

And you believe it.
You believe every word of it.

>> sammy jo: plenty of
Whipped cream.

Well, at least try it.
>> clay: well, I'm sure

It's very good, sammy jo,
But somehow,

A banana split
After a four-course meal --

I'm stuffed.
>> sammy jo: well, next time,

I'll order a lighter meal.
I guess I was

Sort of uncertain --
Nervous, I mean --

About playing hostess.
>> clay: you're a terrific

Hostess, and there's nothing
To be nervous about.

>> sammy jo: thanks.
Here.

Now for some brandy.
>> clay: on the rug?

>> sammy jo: yeah.
It's kind of chilly.

I thought it'd be nice
By the fire.

>> clay: hmm.
>> sammy jo: I think

We should drink
To a very special evening.

For me, at least.
>> clay: me too. Cheers.

>> sammy jo: cheers.
Oh, my --

Oh, I'm so sorry.
>> clay: it's --

It's all right.
>> sammy jo: no, it isn't.

Look at your shirt.
I'm sorry.

See, I told you
I was nervous tonight.

>> clay: well,
You shouldn't be.

In fact, what you should be
Is yourself.

>> sammy jo: what do you mean
Myself?

>> clay: just that.
You are a beautiful girl

With a good mind
Who is a lot of fun

When she's not nervous, okay?
So just relax.

>> sammy jo: but your shirt,
It's wet.

>> clay: so let's hang it up
To dry.

>> han: it's very good
To see you again, my friend.

You're looking very fit.
>> ben: and you don't look

A day older than you did
When I worked for you.

>> han: ha ha ha ha.
Ah, mr. Carrington,

You did more than work for us.
You were our consultant

When we found oil
In the south china sea.

We would've never known
About those deposits

If it weren't for you.
>> ben: well, I had a job to do.

I did it.
>> han: ah, sit, sit.

>> ben: thank you.
I understand you --

You met with my brother blake.
>> han: yes.

I, uh, heard his side
Of the story.

I found him to be very sincere.
>> ben: the word is "Desperate,"

Minister.
>> han: what do you mean?

>> ben: well, that his sincerity
Is about as shallow as he is.

The true story is a --
Well, it's a horrible story.

The shame of our family
That I've had to cover up

All these years.
But finally I was forced

To tell the truth
About how my brother

Was responsible
For our mother's death.

>> han: then you apparently
Agree with mrs. Colby

That blake carrington
Isn't morally fit

To control the leases, too.
>> ben: that's right.

However, I thought you might
Be interested in this.

It's about alexis colby.
I hate to bring this up

About mrs. Colby because she is
An extraordinary woman,

But this is a chapter
From a book

Written by her sister
That brings to light

Some interesting personal facts
About the lady.

It may surprise you,
Even dismay you,

But, well, I feel you're
Entitled to know the truth.

>> alexis: cancelled?
Well, he can't cancel

His appointment with me.
Well, when can we reschedule?

Well, call me
The moment he's free.

It's essential that I meet
With him as quickly as possible.

Thank you.
I thought everything

Was settled.
Now han seems to be avoiding me

For some reason.
>> ben: blake?

>> alexis: I don't know.
But somebody's obviously

Got to him.
Otherwise, why would he be

Taking so long
To make up his mind?

>> ben:
>> alexis: what?

>> ben: that means, loosely,
"He's the boss here --

His privilege."
>> alexis: I didn't know

You spoke chinese.
>> ben: oh, a word here,

Two words there.
I worked

With some chinese people
On a mineral rights deal

In australia a few years ago.
>> alexis: you never

Told me that.
>> ben: you never asked.

>> alexis: there's so many
Things I don't know about you,

Ben.
For example,

How easily you lied
On that stand.

>> ben: it's a gift
We both share.

>> alexis: hmm.
>> ben: now, we have

A dinner date.
By my watch, it's exactly 7:30,

So...
>> alexis: I really don't feel

Like having dinner tonight.
I really have to wait

For that phone call.
>> ben: well, I'll just have

To eat on my own.
Everything's going

To work out fine, alexis.
Trust me.

>> alexis: trust you?
>> ben: well, well.

As brothers, I guess we have
The same taste in travel,

Don't we?
>> blake: if you think

I'm all that surprised,
I'm not.

We discovered alexis
Was in the hotel.

I knew that we'd find you
Crawling around here somewhere.

>> ben: the way I hear it,
You're the one who's crawling,

Blake.
To the oil ministry,

Begging to keep those leases.
It doesn't fit

With the well-known
Blake carrington image,

Does it?
Then again, things change.

Fortunes change.
>> blake: I want you

To know this and remember it.
Your filthy lies

May have followed me
These 12,000 miles,

But you're not going
To get what you're after.

You're not going to get that --
That revenge

That you're so desperate for --
Never.

>> ben: I don't know what
The hell you're talking about.

I've gotten what I wanted --
My $125 million.

I'm just here in hong kong
Looking for some deals

I can invest in.
>> woman: have you decided

On anything, mrs. Carrington?
>> claudia: yes, I think

I'll take the mink,
And I'll take

The full-length fox
And the sable

And the three jackets --
The chinchilla, the lynx,

And the ermine.
>> woman: that's three coats

And three jackets?
>> claudia: I believe

That's what I said. Yes.
>> woman: along with

The chinchilla muff
And the two persian lamb

Ski hats?
>> claudia: are you

In the business of counting
Or are you in the business

Of selling?
Has blake carrington

Been in here talking to you
About me?

>> woman: why, no,
Of course not.

>> claudia: have any
Of the other members

Of the carringtons been in here?
Is that why you're so

Uninterested in selling to me?
>> woman: mrs. Carrington,

I think you've misunderstood.
I didn't mean anything

Like that.
>> claudia: I know exactly

What you meant.
I'm not a fool, and I'm

Very good at sensing hostility
Where I find it.

>> woman: I'm sorry.
>> claudia: well, I think we

Both got a little out of hand.
I'm glad we understand

Each other.
Just send the bill

To my husband adam carrington.

>> adam: I heard about your
Little shopping spree today.

Why should I pay for all this?
>> claudia: because technically

We're still married
And because I had to put up

With you and all of your lies,
So you owe me.

>> adam: claudia.
Is this how it is with you,

Going from one of us
To the other,

Just staying with whoever
Is stupid enough

To pay your bills?
>> claudia: well, not anymore.

I'm finished
With all of the carringtons

Now that I have my well.
>> adam: I wouldn't count

On living off my profits
If I were you.

>> claudia: don't you
Threaten me, adam.

You can't take it back.
I still have a weapon over you.

>> adam: take it?
I wouldn't take it

As a present.
And in case you haven't checked

Your production yet,
Your well is drying up...

Much like this conversation.
>> claudia: it can't be.

>> claudia: yes, let me speak
To blake carrington.

No.
When he gets back to town,

It'll be soon enough.
>> blake: mm-hmm, yes.

Look, sam, we've got
To leave for the airport.

Yes, we're going back
To denver tonight.

Now, you call me there
When you hear from mr. Han.

No, no.
No, everything is going

To be just fine.
Right. Bye.

>> krystle: blake, is everything
Going to be fine?

>> blake: yes, yes, it is.
>> krystle: darling,

You don't have to
Be optimistic for me.

Are we leaving hong kong
Without definite word

From mr. Han?
>> blake: I can only tell you

What he said --
That I would get my answer

In due time,
Which means that I have

No alternative.
I have to wait,

And I thought it'd be better
To wait in denver than here.

And besides, I'm convinced
That everything is going

To work out perfectly.
And as for you,

I want you to stop worrying
About me, do you hear?

>> krystle: all right.
Just don't yell at me.

>> blake: okay.
I love you very much.

You have my word
And my kiss on that.

>> alexis: I still haven't
Heard from han.

Something is definitely wrong.
>> ben: nothing is wrong.

Look at this.
It's a news story

The oil ministry is releasing
In 48 hours.

>> alexis: this is in chinese.
>> ben: oh.

Then let me translate it
For you.

Well...
It seems, alexis,

That they're canceling
All the south china sea

Oil leases that used to belong
To you and blake...

>> alexis: what?
>> ben: and giving them

To somebody named...
Well, what do you know?

Ben carrington.
>> alexis: damn you, ben.

You double-crossed me!
Damn you!

Nobody does that to me!
>> ben: now, alexis,

Just calm down and listen to me.
Listen to me!

Now I offered to split them
With you.

You refused me.
I had to do something

In my own interest.
>> alexis: well, undo them!

>> ben: just listen to me.
I haven't finished yet.

Now, what would you say
If I were to give you

25% of those leases?
>> alexis: I'd say that you were

A thief. Those were my leases,
And you stole them from me!

>> ben: 25%.
That's all you had

To begin with, alexis,
So you really haven't lost

Anything, have you?
Besides,

You could only love a man
Who was as clever as you are.

>> alexis: love you?
I don't even like you,

Let alone trust you.
>> ben: well, you better,

Because you have a taste
For blood, alexis.

And so do I.
Blake's.

>> alexis: I'm going
To get you both --

You and your brother!
I'm going to take you both down,

Believe me, I will.
I will.
