Have to wait a little longer, Russ.

>> russ: well, what am I Going to tell them?

The candidate had a bad morning? >> alexis: you're the expert.

Just tell them what you have To tell them.

>> russ: you know, you're paying Me a lot of money to be

Your political advisor. And you're doing okay

In the polls right now. But by next week,

The public might not even Remember you took a bullet

For blake carrington. So take my advice.

When the press Knocks on your door,

You better be there to answer. >> alexis: you're absolutely

Right, russ. The media is important.

>> blake: there we are. I think we're all set.

>> krystle: blake, I don't want you to go.

>> blake: oh, darling, I have to go.

It's important. This is the state

Bar convention. I'm going to be speaking

To 1,500 attorneys. And I'm only going to be gone

Overnight. >> krystle: no, that's not

What I'm talking about. >> blake: I'm going to be fine.

Now, cochran is already Up there.

Our security's been Tightened up.

And besides, who's going To do anything in a room

Full of judges and prosecutors? >> krystle: someone who's crazy.

And what makes you think They won't try it again?

>> blake: we're better prepared This time.

>> krystle: with a couple Of extra security guards?

Blake, there's a thousand ways For someone to get you

In a place like vail. It's crowded.

People wear ski masks. A high-powered rifle

Up on the slopes. >> blake: yes, you're right,

But I've accepted that fact. >> krystle: well, I haven't.

Blake, krystina's sick, And I can't be there with you.

I don't want you to go. >> blake: darling,

What am I supposed to do, Never leave denver?

Or should I just stay here In this house?

Or if that gets too risky, What am I supposed to do,

Lock myself up in this room? >> krystle: you're being

Ridiculous! >> blake: I am not going to let

Some lunatic out there Control my life.

>> krystle: well, I think You're being selfish.

Blake, if anything Were to happen to you,

I don't know what I would do. >> blake: nothing is going

To happen. >> krystle: I pray to god

You're right. >> blake: you know that if you

Wanted me to leave this race, That I would.

But I can't run half a race. I've got to be the best

Candidate that I can be, Or else just drop out of it.

You know that, don't you? >> krystle: right.

Please be careful. >> blake: I love you,

Mrs. Carrington, And I will be careful.

>> woman: here she comes! >> woman #2: oh, she is!

>> man: here she is!

>> man: mrs. Rowan? Mrs. Rowan?

>> woman: mrs. Rowan? >> alexis: all right,

All right, all right. You.

>> woman: mrs. Rowan, This campaign trip to vail

Will be the first appearance With blake carrington

Since the assassination attempt. Are you concerned that whoever

It was might strike again? >> alexis: well, naturally

Everybody's concerned, But it's going to take more

Than one psychopath with a rifle To keep me out of the running.

>> man: mrs. Rowan? Mrs. Rowan? >> woman: mrs. Rowan?

>> man: you've moved up In the polls.

Isn't it true the shooting has Actually helped your campaign?

>> alexis: well, it wasn't part Of my campaign strategy,

If that's what you mean.

>> man #2: mrs. Rowan? Mrs. Rowan? Mrs. Rowan?

You must admit it is ironic That you saved the life

Of the man you're running Against.

>> alexis: yes, it is, But to tell you the truth,

I find it even more ironic That blake carrington is running

For governor at all.

>> man #3: mrs. Rowan? >> man #2: mrs. Rowan,

Mrs. Rowan, how do your doctors Feel about you making

A campaign appearance So soon after the shooting?

>> alexis: well, they were Unanimously opposed to it,

But I managed to convince them That it was more important

To show the people of colorado That I was well enough,

Strong enough, And determined enough

To win this election. >> alexis: so now,

Ladies and gentlemen, If you'll excuse me,

I have a plane to catch. >> man #4: thank you,

Mrs. Rowan. >> alexis: thank you very much.

>> russ: you know, For a minute there, I thought

They were going to give you A standing ovation.

>> alexis: I'm surprised They didn't.

>> karen: what did you expect When you got here, a brass band?

Your children don't even Know you anymore.

>> jesse: all right, I was wrong. I was stupid.

I made a terrible mistake. But I can make it up to you

And the kids. I swear I can if you just

Give me a chance. >> karen: it's too late

For that now. >> jesse: why?

>> karen: jesse, I don't feel well.

>> jesse: is it because You don't love me anymore?

Or is it because you're out to Here with some rich man's kid?

Who talked you into this anyway? >> karen: nobody talked me

Into anything. >> jesse: karen, what's going

To happen when you have To give that baby away?

I know you and kids. >> karen: you don't know me

At all. You stroll into town

After disappearing for two years And expect everything to be

Just as it was. Well, it isn't.

People change. People grow up.

>> jesse: yeah, well, I've changed, too.

You haven't even give me A chance to tell you

About the deal I'm working on? >> karen: there's always another

Big deal just around the corner. That's the story

Of our life together. Well, I want more.

>> jesse: oh, and you think The carringtons are going to be

Your meal ticket, huh? >> karen: that's not

What I meant. >> jesse: oh, no?

You're so excited about Going over to their house

For dinner tonight. You think after you have

The baby, that they're going To invite you over to the house?

>> karen: we've become friends. Adam and dana are good people.

>> jesse: after they get Their hands on this baby,

They're not going to give A damn whether you live or die.

To them you're just A brood mare.

>> karen: why are you Doing this to me?

>> jesse: because they're Using you, karen.

Can't you see that? >> karen: no, I don't see that

At all. >> dana: well, whatever it is,

Sooner or later You have to tell me.

>> karen: I didn't tell you The truth the other day.

>> dana: the truth about what? >> karen: about who was

On the phone. He's back.

I never dreamed I would See him again.

>> dana: who? What are you talking about?

>> karen: I swear to you, dana, I thought it was over,

But he just showed up. >> dana: jesse?

>> karen: he never signed The divorce papers.

We're still married. >> dana: karen, no.

>> karen: I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you, but --

>> dana: but this changes Everything.

>> karen: no, it doesn't. Jesse came back because he had

Some wild idea we could Start over again.

This won't affect the baby. >> dana: of course it will.

Adam and I don't have any kind Of legal agreement with jesse.

>> karen: this is your baby, Dana.

Not because I signed A piece of paper.

>> dana: oh, for god's sakes, That piece of paper

Is the only thing we have. >> karen: no, it isn't.

Dana, when I felt the baby kick For the first time, I couldn't

Wait to call you, remember? You're the one who heard

The first heartbeat. When I picture this baby

In my mind, I see you... Holding it and loving it,

Watching it grow up. This is your baby, dana.

You've got to believe that. >> dana: the only thing

That is important Is that you believe it, karen.

>> adam: my god, the man Shows up out of the blue,

And you think it's just A coincidence.

>> dana: well, jesse didn't know Anything about the baby.

>> adam: and you believed him? Dana, this guy wants something.

>> dana: karen says The only thing he wants

Is to get back together again. >> adam: karen also said

She was divorced. Do you know

What this could mean? A custody battle.

Jesse could tie us up In court for years.

>> dana: adam, you're jumping To conclusions.

>> adam: the only thing we know About karen's husband

Is that he deserted his family. And now we're supposed

To believe he only came back Because he got homesick?

I'm sorry, dana. I don't buy it.

The man's trouble. I can feel it.

>> dana: please promise me You won't say anything

To karen tonight. >> adam: I'm going to find out

What jesse atkinson wants. >> krystle: karen, it's good

To see you again. >> karen: hello,

Mrs. Carrington. >> krystle: oh, please,

Call me krystle. Adam and dana are changing,

But they'll be down In a minute.

You all right? >> karen: no, I just can't

Seem to get warm. >> krystle: well, why don't you

Go into the library And sit by the fire?

I'll get you some tea. >> karen: thank you.

Oh... >> dana: I'm not avoiding

The issue. I just don't think

Tonight's the right time To talk about it.

>> adam: I think tonight Is the perfect time.

Karen, what is it? Oh, my god.

>> dana: karen? >> adam: dana, call dr. Davis.

Oh, my god. >> blake: karen isn't in any

Danger of losing the baby, Is she?

>> krystle: no. The doctor says if she rests

For a few days, That she's going to be okay.

>> blake: oh... >> krystle: darling,

Don't worry. Everything here

Is under control. >> blake: good.

Everything here is under 10 feet of snow.

I tried to get out This morning, but the blizzard

Just isn't letting up. >> krystle: blake, I'm sorry

About yesterday. I guess I was the one

Who was being selfish. >> blake: oh, no, no.

You were concerned, darling. I can understand that.

We've all been under A lot of pressure lately.

>> krystle: I miss you. >> blake: me too.

You know I don't like Being away from you.

>> krystle: what we need Is a long evening together,

Just the two of us. >> blake: all right,

You've got a date. The only question is when?

The only way to get out of here Now is with a dogsled.

I just hate being away from home When you've got these problems.

>> krystle: darling, Don't worry.

We've had a scare, but it's Nothing we can't handle.

>> karen: what... >> dana: no, no.

Everything's fine. There's nothing wrong

With the baby. >> adam: you're going to be

All right. You see,

You fainted last night Just before dinner.

Are you hungry? >> karen: yeah.

>> adam: nurse, Would you please bring up

Mrs. Atkinson's breakfast tray? Now, the doctor had some fancy

Medical term for it, but you're Just exhausted, that's all.

>> dana: so you can stay here With us for a couple of days

Until the doctor says you can Get up and around again.

>> karen: where are my children? >> dana: they're downstairs

With krystina playing. Now all you have to do

Is stay here and rest For a couple of days.

We don't want you to worry About a thing.

>> gerard: you'll have To wait here, and please keep --

>> jesse: I want to see My wife!

>> adam: what is it, gerard? >> gerard: mr. Carrington,

There's a gentleman here who Insists on seeing mrs. Atkinson.

>> jesse: where is she? Karen? >> adam: what the hell

Are you doing? >> jesse: honey...

Ah, I was so worried. What happened?

>> karen: I'm sorry about this. I guess I overdid it.

I'll be staying here At least another night.

>> jesse: well, you don't have To do that.

I can take care of you. >> karen: no, it's okay.

>> jesse: honey, I got The car downstairs.

I'll carry you. >> adam: apparently

You haven't been listening. >> jesse: who are you?

>> adam: adam carrington. And karen is staying here.

>> jesse: I'm her husband, and I Want to take her home, okay?

>> karen: jesse, please. >> dana: listen, you two,

The last thing karen needs Right now

Is a lot of excitement. Now why don't we

Leave her alone? She needs to rest.

>> jesse: okay. >> karen: jesse...

I know you were worried About me.

I'll be fine. >> adam: everyone's

A little upset. It was a long night.

>> jesse: yeah. >> adam: I know this isn't

The time, but I think You and I need to talk.

Do you know harmon point? >> jesse: sure.

>> adam: tomorrow around 9:00 I'll be on my morning run.

>> jesse: okay. >> sean: this continuous

Hysteria about alexis -- It's very unattractive, leslie.

>> leslie: if she fires me, I'm not going down alone.

>> sean: what, is that a threat? >> leslie: I have no intention

Of walking away from this deal Without getting what I deserve.

>> sean: I told you I'd take care of you.

>> leslie: that is not Good enough.

I want specifics. I know that you're skimming

Something off this oil deal, And I want to know how much,

What your share is, And what my cut is going to be.

>> sean: here I thought Your only interest was in me.

>> leslie: oh, stop it, sean. I've been cheated

Too many times. Either you tell me, or --

>> sean: or? Or what? >> leslie: I know a lot

About you, sean. I don't think that you can

Afford to ignore me. >> sean: I have no intention

Of that. I'll pick you up at 9:00.

And before we go back To denver in the morning,

I promise... I'll tell you

All you need to know. >> alexis: good morning, blake.

>> blake: alexis. >> alexis: oh, I can't believe

That we are stuck here. This reminds me of st. Moritz

When the children were little. >> blake: if you'll excuse me,

Alexis, I'm working. >> alexis: oh, blake,

Don't be so stodgy. I'm sure you can take

Some time out For a friendly little chat.

>> blake: I'm afraid I don't have time

For a little time-out. Oh, by the way, I think you may

Be right about this being Familiar ground for us.

We're back fighting again. >> alexis: blake,

I don't think That we should fight anymore.

>> blake: oh? >> alexis: I'm sure that

It hasn't escaped your notice About my rise

In the popularity polls, Particularly among women voters.

>> blake: after what You went through,

I expected that the public Would be sympathetic.

>> alexis: blake, it's more Than just sympathy.

I'm no longer a spoiler. I'm a genuine candidate

With an excellent chance Of being elected.

>> blake: I think you may be Overestimating your chances.

>> alexis: do you? Well, I don't, which is why

I'm prepared to make you A rather interesting offer.

Blake, you and I would make An unbeatable combination.

I think you should Withdraw from the race and run

As my lieutenant governor. >> blake: alexis,

All the years I've known you, That is the single

Most ridiculous thing That I've ever heard you say.

>> alexis: why? Because you don't think

That I'm strong enough Or clever enough?

Or is it that you don't think That any woman is capable

Of running for government? Or perhaps you've been married

To that wimp krystle For so long that you've

Forgotten what a real woman Is capable of doing.

>> blake: on the contrary. She's helped me to understand

What a real woman should be. Alexis, you are smart

And shrewd, but you also happen To be self-indulgent

And dishonest. >> alexis: and you are

Pigheaded and chauvinistic, With a lot of skeletons

In your closet That haven't been revealed yet.

>> blake: I never said That I was perfect.

Oh, by the way, I do think that a woman

Could be the governor Of colorado.

>> alexis: oh? >> blake: just that

You're not that woman. >> leslie: "My dear leslie,

Burn this. Love, sean."

>> leslie: not bad. But it's going to cost you

A lot more than this, mr. Rowan. >> leslie: it's about time.

>> sean: don't move.

Not a muscle. Don't even breathe.

If you want to live... Don't move.

>> leslie: oh, god. >> sean: this is

An african mamba. It's one of god's

Deadliest creatures. >> leslie: take it away.

>> sean: they strike Very quickly,

And it's a slow, Agonizing death.

>> leslie: please, sean. >> sean: not until

You understand the danger. Hmm?

>> leslie: just take it away. I beg you, please.

>> sean: you must promise To be more careful.

You never want to challenge A viper like this.

>> leslie: I promise. >> sean: I can't hear you.

>> leslie: I promise. >> sean: I can't hear you,

Leslie. >> leslie: no...

Please, sean. I promise.

>> sean: good. Now I'm sure we have

An understanding. We do understand each other,

Don't we? Hmm?

Don't we? >> leslie: yeah.

>> sean: I hate to see Anything happen to you.

>> alexis: blake! Blake, I've been looking

For you. Look, I want to apologize.

>> blake: well, It's not necessary.

>> alexis: no. Look, I was wrong asking you to

Run as my lieutenant governor. It must have been a terrible

Blow to your male ego. >> blake: my ego will survive,

And so will my campaign. >> alexis: will it?

I'd like you to take a look At this.

>> blake: so you didn't Come here to apologize.

You really came here To sell me again

On that little scheme of yours. Well, I wouldn't be

On that ticket with you If my life depended on it.

I don't want to win that badly. >> alexis: then maybe you should

Think about getting out Of the race, leaving the field

Clear for me. >> blake: you never give up,

Do you? I have a question

I'd like to ask you. You love this campaign.

You love the attention And the excitement

Of the challenge. What would you do

If you actually got elected? You think about that.

Then maybe you'll consider Getting out of this race.

>> alexis: don't bet on it. >> adam: tell me something.

Any particular reason You decided to come back

To denver at this time? >> jesse: yeah.

I still love my wife, That's why.

>> adam: you had to know This would upset her.

>> jesse: well, I didn't expect To find her out to here

With a baby, either, okay? I don't owe you

Any explanations. >> adam: well, you're right.

You don't owe me anything. Let me be honest with you.

Whew...

I hope that you and karen Can work out all your problems

And live happily ever after. But now just isn't

The right time. >> jesse: so what am I

Supposed to do, just walk away? >> adam: that's right.

Until after the baby's born And the papers are signed.

Then you can do what you like. >> jesse: you are really

Unbelievable. Just because your family's

Got all the money in the world, You think that gives you

The right to tell me what to do. >> adam: I've done

A little checking. A dozen jobs

In the last five years, Not one lasting more

Than six months. You've had some tough times.

>> jesse: I do okay. As a matter of fact,

I got a deal on the table Right now that's going to pay me

$20,000. >> adam: what if I were

To make you a better offer? >> jesse: meaning what?

>> adam: you tell me. What would it take to have you

Disappear for a while? Think about it.

>> adam: dana, dana, I have to go.

I have a board meeting. Meanwhile, this is for you.

I love you very much. I'm sorry I overreacted

To jesse coming back. We had a long talk.

He won't be giving us Any trouble.

>> dana: oh, good. You know, I was a little

Worried myself after the way He barged in here yesterday.

Karen says jesse's A little impulsive,

But he doesn't mean any harm. >> adam: right.

And I'm sure karen Would like to believe that.

But I wasn't about to take Any chances.

>> dana: what do you mean, Take any chances?

>> adam: you can never trust The jesse atkinsons

Of this world. They all have big mouths

And big dreams and their hand Out for an easy buck...

As long as they don't Have to work for it.

>> dana: you offered him money, Didn't you?

>> adam: no. I just made it very easy

For him to ask. And he will.

>> dana: oh, adam, Please don't do this.

>> adam: I have no intention Of letting some two-bit hustler

Interfere with our baby. I had a problem,

I took care of it. Dana, I want jesse out of town

And out of our lives -- now. >> steven: okay,

Well, that's it. Thank you all, and we'll

Certainly keep you informed Of any further stock activity.

>> steven: nice of you To join us, adam.

>> adam: I had some personal Business to take care of,

Steven, all right? Now why this emergency meeting?

>> fallon: we have A real problem.

There's been another Huge purchase

Of denver carrington stock. >> adam: still no names?

>> steven: no. We've done a complete check.

Apparently we're dealing With brand-new players,

And nobody knows who they are. >> adam: well, they're going

To have to come out Into the open eventually.

Once they buy in for 6%, The masks come off.

That's the law. >> steven: well,

They're almost there now, And we have some very nervous

Stockholders. >> fallon: well,

Can you blame them? Takeover threats

Are twice as frightening When you don't know the enemy.

>> adam: let's not get Carried away with this.

How many points are we up This week?

3 1/4. Maybe they're planning

Just to buy and sell For a quick profit.

>> steven: I don't think so, Adam.

I think they're serious. Whoever they are, they're buying

Into denver carrington big time. >> jeff: you weren't kidding

When you said you were going To be a hardworking

Business partner. >> sammy jo: it's necessary.

Two hands phoned in sick, And the mayor's about to call.

>> jeff: you could've called me. I would've given you a hand.

>> sammy jo: I did fine By myself, thanks.

>> jeff: you know, I've been, Uh, leaving messages here

The last couple of days. >> sammy jo: I've been busy.

I have a horse ranch to run. >> jeff: did I do something

Wrong? >> sammy jo: no.

It's just that I've reconsidered

Our arrangement, And I've decided to go

To the bank for financing On delta rho.

>> jeff: you want To dissolve the partnership?

>> sammy jo: it's not A partnership, jeff.

>> jeff: maybe I do talk Too much.

How about a silent partner? >> sammy jo: look, jeff,

When things went bad for me At the ranch, you were here

To bail me out financially, And then when that jerk tried

To attack me the other night, You were there to rescue me.

I don't want to feel That I have to turn to you

For everything. >> jeff: is there something

Wrong with helping out a friend? >> sammy jo: no.

Just as long as you understand That I'm going to work hard

To turn this business around And to pay you back.

I just don't want to feel Dependent on you or anybody.

>> jeff: wait a minute, Sammy jo. I gave you that money

Because I believe in you. Because I like you.

>> jesse: just what exactly Am I signing away here?

>> adam: nothing. Just a simple declaration.

You've had no physical contact With karen

For the past two years. >> jesse: so I'm saying

That the baby isn't mine, right? >> adam: and you further agree

To have no contact with her Until after the baby is born.

That means no visits, No phone calls.

>> jesse: yeah, well, That's the hard part.

I don't know if I can do that. >> adam: I don't want

To rush you. But I'm sure you will

Think about it. Check it out with your attorney.

>> jesse: uh, well, it's not That I don't trust you,

I just, uh, I really don't want To lose karen again.

>> adam: you don't have to. Come back after the baby's born,

And you and karen can have A real chance...

With another briefcase Just like this one.

>> adam: you're doing The right thing.

>> dana: oh, I'm sorry. >> dana: adam, this is wrong.

>> adam: I did what was Necessary for all of us.

>> dana: how much Did you pay him?

$100,000? $500,000? $1 million?

>> adam: does it matter? I'd give up everything I have

For that baby. >> dana: honey, I want

This child just as much As you do, but I am not

Willing to buy it. >> adam: what do you think

We've been doing? We signed a contract with karen.

We are paying her money. She is having a baby

And giving it to us. All I've done with jesse

Is take out an insurance policy. >> dana: but it isn't

The same thing at all. Look, we've paid karen's

Doctors' bills And her attorneys' fees.

She wouldn't even let me buy her A maternity dress,

And you're comparing that To handing somebody

A suitcase full of money? >> adam: it is the same, dana.

All we're arguing about Is the amount.

>> jesse: wait a minute. I did everything

That you wanted me to. I came back here,

I got everybody stirred up. Now, I want my money.

>> sean: no, we had a deal. I pay you $10,000 now

And $10,000afteryou've Completed the assignment.

>> jesse: yeah. Well,

I thought the job was over. >> sean: I want adam carrington

To think He's going to lose his child.

Perhaps he will. >> jesse: wait a minute.

That's too complicated for me. We never said anything

About keeping the child. >> sean: that's up to karen.

And you, of course. >> jesse: I just want enough

Money so that karen and me Can make a fresh start.

>> sean: you follow My instructions,

That those new stockholders Are coming in to see you

This afternoon. >> steven: yeah, we're finally

Going to meet the enemy Face to face.

>> steven: I think that would be A mistake, dad.

>> blake: my telephone has been Ringing off the hook

Ever since I got back -- Long-time stockholders who want

To know what's going on. And frankly, so do I.

>> steven: tell them If they have any questions,

To call me -- Assuming I'm still in charge.

>> blake: of course you are. But those stockholders

Are a threat. They now own a big piece

Of denver carrington. >> steven: that's exactly why

I don't want you At that meeting, dad.

If you're there, it will look Like we're running scared

And you've come to bail us out. >> blake: steven, I have stayed

Out of the picture up until now Even though you and your brother

And your sister Have had problems.

But this is different. We're talking now

About a possible takeover. I don't have to remind you

That everything I've ever Worked for, everything I own,

Is at risk here. >> steven: I know that.

And you have to make A decision, dad.

If you show up this afternoon, You're sending me a clear signal

That you want to run The company again.

I know you want to help, But if I'm going to run

Denver carrington, The best way to help me

Is to trust me. >> blake: good luck

At that meeting today, son. >> sean: not only

Too much responsibility Too soon.

>> sean: she handles herself All right.

She's learning. >> alexis: mm, at my expense.

I'm not sure I approve Of on-the-job training.

>> sean: well, then we'll, uh, Put her into a less responsible

Position. >> alexis: but I thought

You said she was doing so well. >> sean: you're the one

Who suggested There was a problem.

>> alexis: well, you know I always rely

On your good judgment. >> sean: well, then I think

Demote her. Or we can fire her.

Dragging this out. They seem to be enjoying

This little game Of corporate hide-and-seek.
