Where the hell is Adam anyway?

Probably hiding under some rock somewhere.

Daddy's tying to find him, so--

Still no sign of him.

Why don't you both go on home?

Aren't you coming?

l have a dinner at the university l can't cancel.

l'm the speaker. Oh, about Adam--

Yeah, about Adam. If l ever get my hands on him--

Jeff, no.

Now, if he happens to show up at the house before l get back,

l want you to promise me that you won't say anything to him.

What?

l will talk to him about this,

this matter, iust as soon as l can, all right?

No.

lt's not all right.

As far as l'm concerned, he nearly killed Jeff with that poison.

There's nothing you can say that's gonna change that.

Now, listen to me, young lady.

l have made the same mistake that you may be making right now.

l don't wanna do it again.

l thought that Mark Jennings set fire to that cabin.

Kystle begged me to give him the benefit of the doubt, and l didn't.

Wrongly, l didn't.

You're talking about one thing and l'm talking about another, damn it.

Come on, Fallon. We're both a little tired now.

Okay.

Sory, Daddy.

That's all right, darling. l'm sory too.

See you later, Blake.

Okay.

Mercuric oxide compound, that right?

Yes, that's right.

Man who filled the two orders retired. Didn't know that, did you?

No, l didn't.

Went back to the old homestead.

Canada, Canada, Canada. That's all he'd talk about.

l'd like to look at the orders to verify them, please.

Oh, sure thing.

Oh, and there's a third one about six months earlier.

Nope. l don't find anything.

Well, never mind. These two will do.

And they are in order. Thank you.

Oh, that baby is so adorable.

l was almost tempted to wake him up.

You won't forget to give him this, will you, Claudia?

No, of course not.

So cute. l couldn't resist buying it.

Oh, l feel so happy today.

Blake was defeated. Steven got his son.

And l finally got a chance to tell that court

what kind of a man Blake Carrington really is.

Do l seem to be gloating, Claudia?

l'm not vey good at reading your looks.

l'm sure you spoke the truth as you saw it.

But there's always more than one side to the truth.

l like specifics. Darling, be more specific.

All right, l will.

ln spite of today's verdict, Blake is still Danny's grandfather.

And l have to make Steven see that nothing poisons that relationship.

Well, of course. As his caring wife.

As a woman who's been through the same kind of thing

with Lindsay and with Matthew's mother.

She was a hostile woman to me.

But l know that she loved my daughter.

And l never interfered with that love.

Well, Claudia, l think that's absolutely splendid of you.

And what exactly is my splendid wife up to now?

Oh, darling, hi.

- Hi, darling. - Hi.

Mother, what a nice surprise.

Well, l just dropped in to see Danny.

And to tell you that we have to fly to San Francisco tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow? Why so sudden?

Darling, it's not sudden. l told you about it days ago.

The trial must have pushed it out of your mind.

Probably.

l want to find out what's really going on

with Colbyco's chief of West Coast operations.

Steven.

Don't frown, darling.

lt will just be a lunch meeting.

And you'll be back in plenty of time to tuck Danny in

and have dinner with your lovely wife.

l'll pick you up at 9.

On the dot.

You hate it.

O�l Qua_erly magazine is going to hate it.

You're wrong. l love it.

And so will the magazine.

lt's a fine piece of work. And it's a nice going-away present.

Oh, Bill.

l wish this weren't your last day.

You'll be so busy running things around here,

you won't even know l'm gone.

Bill Rocknrell here.

Hello, B�ll. It's Krystle.

l'm glad l caught you.

Kystle, it's been a long time. What can l do for you?

Well, l'd like to take you to lunch tomorrow. My treat.

Oh, that's a hard one to turn down on two counts:

the lady and the treat.

Well, l've got a motive, Bill.

l understand that you're leaving

as head of public relations for Denver-Carrington,

and Blake has offered me the job.

l'd l�ke to talk to you about �t.

Of course, Kystle. Name the place and the time.

La Mirage, 1 :OO.

Fine. l'll see you there.

Bye-bye.

Tracy.

You know l recommended you to take over my job.

Know it? l practically forced you at gunpoint.

No, you didn't, because you didn't have to.

l'm sory, but it's academic now.

Meaning?

Meaning Blake Carrington has decided otherwise.

He's giving the iob to his former wife.

So...

The elevator iust went up without me, huh?

Hey, hey, hey, don't you force a smile with me.

You're damn good at this iob, and we both know it.

ln the two months since l've hired you,

you've lived up to your background in evey possible way.

And l'm bright and experienced and l turned out some fantastic work.

Deserve the job.

But l didn't get it.

So l will still be a terrific assistant.

Oh, l'll be in touch.

And about the job, l'm sory, kid.

Don't be.

lt is not the end of the world.

Just feels like it.

Bye.

- Who is it? - It's Mark.

Hello.

l was down at the bar for an hour hoping you'd pass by.

You didn't.

So l've come up to ask you to join me for dinner and drinks.

How about it?

l appreciate the invitation, but l got a lot of things on my mind.

Funny, l've got a lot of things on my mind too,

and l thought l'd share them with you

over a steak or salad or something.

Thanks, but l'm not vey hungy.

You iust don't wanna spend the time with me, right?

Look, Kystle, l was your husband.

What we had together was good.

We can make it together now.

Not as friends, but as lovers.

Kystle, l'm asking you to mary me again and get out of Denver,

the two of us, for good.

Mark, we're friends.

That's where it begins, and that's where it ends.

- l don't believe that. - Mark...

- Sex was always good between us. - Let go of me.

Damn good. And you know it.

Stop it.

- Stop it. - You don't want me to stop.

You never wanted me to stop.

Please.

Get out of here.

l want you out of this room now.

Yes, Mr. Hutchinson, that's right.

l want you to be on the first morning flight to Anchorage.

Yes, as in Anchorage, Alaska.

Whatever you've got on your schedule in San Francisco tomorrow,

l want you to cancel.

Do l make myself clear? Good.

Adam. Hey, stop it. Stop.

Cut it out! You're hurting me, Adam.

Time's up, is that it?

Well, it's my money.

You're not being funny. You're just too damn rough.

l've hurt you.

l'm sory, Shelley.

You're never exactly gentle with me anymore, Adam.

When we first started, it was good.

We had great times. We had a few laughs.

As a matter of fact, l used to look forward to your phone calls.

But lately it seems like you just call me

when you need to work out whatever's been bugging you with rough sex.

You can tell me about it if you like.

Hey. Why don't we just talk?

You know, rumours to the contray, l like to talk too.

And l'm a good listener.

Okay.

l've been under a lot of pressure recently.

And l didn't realise what it was doing to me.

Hey. Mixing booze and pills isn't gonna help anything.

lt will help me with this.

- With what? - A lie l have to tell.

So, what else is new in this real truthful world of ours?

l'm gonna have to lie to a man who lives by the truth.

But if l tell him the truth,

then l lose what l've been starved for my whole life.

Belonging.

But you're right.

lt won't help.

l wonder if anything can.

Adam.

Yes, Father.

l've been waiting up for you.

l wanna talk to you right now.

My God, why didn't you come to me sooner with this?

l am your father, you know.

And she is my mother.

Are you saying that Alexis was responsible for Jeff's poisoning?

Do you have proof?

No. No, l don't.

Then what are you saying?

l had a suspicion.

l told her about my first case, poisoning.

And when Fallon got into it,

l decided to lie about it rather than involve Mother.

l didn't even know for sure that she'd done it, or how.

The how is simple.

But you were involved in it.

You were in charge of repainting Cecil Colby's office

when Jeff took it over, weren't you?

Yes. l was following her orders.

She personally chose the colour along with the paint.

Well, that explains the panels.

What about the panels?

When Jeff collapsed, and Mother moved into his office,

she told me that she was going to change the colour again

and that the painter was to strip the wood panelling from the walls.

Not iust paint over it, but strip it and burn it.

Burn it?

Yes, of course.

What better way to hide your crime

than to order the evidence destroyed?

Damn it, Adam.

lf you'd only spoken to me about this sooner.

l guess l was a fool

to say nothing and do nothing.

God knows what you're thinking.

and that you've been through hell tying to protect that woman.

Now that the truth is out,

together, we're going to make it right.

We're going to make her pay.

All of this answers at least one question that stumped me.

lf Adam had done it, what did he stand to gain from it?

But Alexis, eveything.

- l'm gonna get her. - No, no.

You're not gonna do anything right now.

For God's sakes, it was my life she was after.

Jeff, listen to him.

All right, l'm listening.

But it's my right to settle the score.

Why should l stay away and do nothing?

Because there is no proof that Alexis is guilty.

lt's only a theoy.

But at least Adam is cooperating with me,

and l won't quit until l find that proof.

But until l do,

l want you both to promise me

that this is between Alexis and me, no one else.

l don't want a word to get out to anyone, not anyone.

- Fallon? - All right.

_e55?

l'll give it some time, Blake.

Not much.

- Jeff, good morning. - Kirby.

l've been waiting to have breakfast with you.

l'm really not in any mood to eat. l just wanna get my jacket and go.

Then l wanna know what's the matter first.

Well, l can't say.

Maybe someday, but not right now.

- Jeff. - Yeah?

Can l make a suggestion? Take the day off.

Don't go anywhere near Colbyco today,

because if you see Alexis, which you will,

you're liable to be on the front page of evey newspaper tomorrow.

Don't wory, l wasn't planning on going anywhere

near that building or that woman, just off to the field.

Good.

Don't blow up any wells.

The sparks you're giving off, you could.

Funny lady.

Can l give you a ride out to the stables? l needed a laugh.

l think it would be better for both of us if l walked.

l'm just offering you a friendly ride.

l'll wait for him to finish his oats, Jess.

Thanks, ma'am. We both appreciate that.

Hello, Fallon. Where's Jeff?

Jeff? He's not riding.

He iust dropped me off. What's the matter?

Not that you really care.

Maybe l resent being left out of so much of his life lately.

His going up north with you instead of being with me.

His being closeted in the solarium this morning with you.

And my father. It was a meeting he called.

Yes, but it was secretive.

Just like your trip to Montana, eveything is so secretive.

Why all the hostility all of a sudden?

Go on, say it.

Whatever happened to that sweet servile girl of yesteyear?

The major-domo's daughter.

You were never considered anything but a friend, Kirby.

You know that.

What l'm beginning to know is that you want him back.

No, Kirby. No.

Look, maybe sometimes l thought l made a mistake divorcing him.

But that's all behind me now. He's married to you now.

You're gonna have his baby. He loves you.

lf there's something happening between the two of you,

something that's hurting your relationship,

then it has to do with you and Jeff alone.

Frankly, l don't think he knows what it is.

So that leaves only me.

Yes. Maybe you should ty talking to him about it.

Correction, Kirby, you should talk it out, whatever it is.

Kystle, l would give my life if it were Jeff's.

lt's Jeff that l love.

Kirby, you have to be strong enough to tell him.

l can't.

What if he finds out later?

ls this something that you can live with?

l can live with it.

l have to.

Why did l quit Denver-Carrington?

Well, l've heard two versions.

One, that you're opening your own public-relations firm.

And two, that your image of Denver-Carrington

and Blake's conflict.

Oh, that's hogwash.

Blake's a tough man, but he's honest and so am l.

And l told him a long time ago

that l'd wanna branch out on my own someday.

There's no more.

l don't want you to feel the least bit uncomfortable taking over.

l am uncomfortable about one thing

people are probably talking about already.

Hiring his ex-wife, a form of nepotism.

- Yes. - Kystle.

lt's a fact of business life.

The main thing is that you're good.

You've got more going for you than you realise.

You understand people. It's vital.

lt's why they call it public relations.

l never wrote a press release in my life.

Well, you've got a vey bright assistant, Tracy Kendall.

Use her. And use your own vey good judgement.

You know, in six months, you may just find

that l might ty and steal you away from Blake.

Now, do l get a kiss for all those Iovely encouraging words?

You certainly do.

Call me if you need me, Kystle. And good luck.

Thank you.

Kystle.

What is it, Mark?

l wanna apologise for last night.

l don't even wanna talk about it.

l had too much to drink. l'm sory.

Just forget it.

Have you talked to the painter?

Confirmed it. The panels were burned.

Well, nothing we can do about that.

Have you tracked down the companies that make mercuric oxide, Adam?

There are four of them. l'll take two and you can take the other two.

No, no, l'll check them all out for myself.

The paint compound with mercuric oxide?

Don't seem to be able to...

Here we go.

Are these what you're looking for?

Alexis.

What are you doing here?

l think l'm doing a terrific iob on this banquet for Saturday night.

Who sits with whom and why.

What l mean is, why aren't you and Steven off to Maui

or Bermuda or something?

Or have honeymoons suddenly gone out of style?

He had to fly to San Francisco on a business trip

with your mother for the day.

You could've gone with him.

You two haven't even been married 48 hours

and she's already swept him out of town.

Well, as far as l'm concerned,

she can have him evey day of the week for lunch

as long as l've got him back for dinner.

Watch out for my mother, Claudia.

Steven's vey special to her and...

Just watch out for her.

Hi, Mrs. Gordon. l'm home.

l'll get it.

- Hello? - H�, Claud�a.

Hi, Steven. l just walked in.

- Where are you calling from? - San franc�sco.

You want me to pick you up at the airport?

No, l'm afra�d not.

Can you talk up? It's a bad connection.

l won't be home for dinner.

ln fact, l've gotta stay here overnight. l'm stuck, Claudia.

Why? What happened?

The guy we were supposed to see got his signals crossed

and won't be back in San Francisco till the morning.

Didn't your mother know about this?

No, of course she didn't know.

How's Danny, sweetheart?

l told you, l iust walked in. He's with Mrs. Gordon.

l'm sure he's fine.

Do you mind checking?

No, of course l don't mind checking.

You're not angy, are you?

Why should l be angy?

l'll see you tomorrow, or whenever, Steven.

Bye.

Bye, Claudia.

She was obviously a bit upset.

A bit.

l'm sory, Steven.

l can put myself in her place.

The nursemaid's gone for the night.

And she's alone in the apartment with the baby.

l think that Claudia's pulled herself together beautifully, emotionally.

l mean, it can't have been an easy adjustment for her.

And there's something that l've been meaning to talk to you about.

What's that?

l want us all to be closer.

l found this wonderful duplex in my apartment building.

lt would be perfect for you and Claudia and Danny.

Mother.

And you don't have to wory about the money.

Steven, don't you see?

This way, whenever we have to go away on trips,

the poor girl won't feel abandoned.

l mean, she'll have the entire hotel staff at her beck and call.

Mother, Claudia doesn't feel abandoned.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

She iust resents my being dragged off on a wild-goose chase.

And to tell you the truth, so do l.

Don't spring any more of these surprise trips on me, Mother.

As far as moving, no, thank you.

Claudia and l have to make a life on our own.

That's right, Alexis is in California tonight.

But when she gets back to Denver tomorrow,

l want you to have met with the district attorney.

Because you'd like to see Alexis prosecuted for attempted murder.

Because l'm going to see her prosecuted.

l want her to pay for all the suffering that she put Jeff through.

Okay, now, Blake, do you have this out of your system?

What are you talking about?

We have just come off a court case.

What l'm talking about is,

it's about time you stopped running on your emotions

and began to look at this from a legal point of view.

l don't care about that.

l'm looking at this from a human point of view.

l went through all that hell with Jeff. l saw the boy suffer.

l saw his marriage to Fallon destroyed.

And why?

Because Alexis saw that he stood in the way of her greed

and her lust for power.

Blake, you hate the woman so intensely,

you're letting it blind you to any other possibility.

- Adam. - Yes, sir?

You were living with your mother at this particular time, right?

Yes, l was.

Then you must remember what she was like at that time.

How she acted.

Well, she appeared to be concerned about Jeff.

Did she ever once give you a clue

that she might have been responsible for what was happening?

She's vey good at covering up. You know her, Mr. Laird.

And you know her a lot better than l do.

You know, l find it vey hard to believe that--

You find what hard to believe?

That in all the hours you spent with her,

she never once dropped her mask.

Well, she didn't.

You're sure of that?

Yes, l'm vey sure. Look, you have evidence.

l have two signed orders for a mercuric oxide compound

signed by her.

Exactly.

Which isn't enough, young man.

Well, it should be.

Well, it is not.

And as a lanyer, you should know that.

Now, look, those purchase orders mean absolutely nothing

unless we can produce the paint

with which the poisonous compound was allegedly mixed.

Or produce the panels from Jeff's office.

You can't win a battle without weapons.

lt's vey late.

And l have a busy day tomorrow, so l'll say good night.

Good night, Andrew.

Thank you for coming over.

Good night, Mr. Laird.

Good night.

l don't like it, Father.

The way he talked to me, it's as if...

lt's as if what?

He thinks l might be somehow involved in all this too.

Well, l don't.

Don't wory about not having any weapons, because l have one.

A good one.

l'll see you in the morning.

Good night.

_e55?

Yeah.

l have to talk to you.

What is it, Kirby?

Aren't you gonna turn around and look at me?

l know how horrible l've been to live with lately.

Acting like a demon.

l'm sory.

l'm so sory. l love you.

l adore you.

l love you too, sweets. You know that.

Well, l don't really know that anymore.

Not with what l've been putting you through.

Show me.

Show me how much.

Please?

Make love to me.

What's wrong?

lt's late.

So what?

lt's late and the timing's wrong.

lt feels like you're demanding something.

Something that you don't wanna give to me.

l'm tired.

Your mind's on someone else.

Fallon?

No, of course not.

Then who?

l can't say.

- Why not? - Because l can't.

lt's complicated.

l'll tell you as soon as l can.

Hello. l'm Kystle.

- You must be Tracy. - That's me.

Who, along with these Phalaenops�s, say welcome.

Oh, they're beautiful.

And the Ming.

Well, l know you have a collection of Ming at the mansion.

lt's called buttering up the new boss.

l hope you're not allergic to these.

No, not at all.

l didn't think so. l checked eveything out with Marcia.

You know, this may sound a little corny and, oh, a bit clich�,

but l can't tell you how happy l was when l found out

that l'd be working for you.

With me, Tracy, all right?

Okay, with you.

You know, l've heard such good things about you.

And, well, l'm gonna need all the help l can get.

All right.

Well, l'm glad to see you two have met.

Hello, Mr. Carrington.

Welcome to Denver-Carrington.

Oh, Tracy, Bill Rocknrell phoned to say

what a fine piece of work you did on that 25th-anniversay feature.

l'd like to look it over.

l ripped it up.

- You did? - Yes.

Well, l just wasn't satisfied with it.

Even though my ex-mentor was.

So it is back to the drawing board until l can come up with a layout

that you truly deserve, Mr. Carrington.

- l'll see you both later. - Bye.

Now, is this status enough for you?

Well, corner office, two windows.

lt seems status enough.

You forgot, one plant, one vey tall plant.

Oh, it is tall. And nice.

- Eveything is vey nice, Blake. - Good.

ln that case, l'll put you on the payroll immediately.

You mean you haven't already?

Guess it iust must have slipped my mind about you coming here.

l see. Well, now that l am here,

l want you to know that if l don't do a good job,

you won't have to fire me, l'll quit.

l want that in writing.

You'll get it.

May l have something from you?

Anything. What?

An honest answer.

Now that l've accepted this job,

do you have any second thoughts about giving it to me?

No, not for one minute.

ln fact, l'm being vey selfish.

You see, your working here means that you'll be near me.

That's all l've ever wanted.

l know things aren't good between us right now.

One thing l don't wanna do is to make them any worse.

As far as l'm concerned, the worst is over, Dad.

l have Danny. l won and you lost.

l've always lost with you, Steven.

Even when you were a little boy,

you were closer to your mother than you were to me.

When she came back here to Denver after all those years,

she did eveything possible to alienate us.

You didn't do so bad on that score yourself.

So can we leave her out of this, please?

No, l can't.

ln a few minutes, l'm gonna be meeting with her.

And what may come to pass

could make an even greater rift between you and me.

l don't want that to happen, but if it does,

l'd like you to know that l'm sory.

Genuinely sory that...

About that whole painful episode with little Danny.

You just said it, Dad.

lt's behind us. It's over.

No, not exactly.

On that night, the night when it all started,

l came to your apartment with a gift for Danny.

Some shares of Denver-Carrington stock.

l'd still like him to have that stock.

Thank you.

But my son doesn't need anything except what l just fought to get him.

The right to grow up happy with and be loved by his own father.

Excuse me, Dad, but l really have a lot of work to do.

Yes?

Send her in.

Aren't you gonna tell me what an unexpected pleasure this is, Adam?

Or isn't it?

What do you want, Mother?

l just got back from San Francisco.

l haven't been to my office yet.

And l want a copy of that paper that l signed yesterday before l left.

The letter of intent to bid on the China Sea oil leases.

What an outrageously good memoy you have, Adam,

considering all the chores that you have here at Denver-Carrington.

Yes, the letter.

l signed three of them, and you forgot to leave one for me.

lt's too late.

l sent all three copies to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong. Yes.

Sino Ventures, Mr. Lloyd Morrissey.

Correct.

Strange.

When l talked to my man in San Francisco,

he wanted more information, so he called Hong Kong.

And?

He doesn't exist.

Of course he does. All you have to do--

He does not exist.

Just what are you tying to do?

A deal for Blake?

Edge me out so that you and Blake can take over yourselves?

Well, whatever it is, you're not gonna get away with it.

Hello?

Sure, l'll bring them right over.

Alexis.

l don't remember having made an appointment with you.

You didn't.

Well, if it's about that merger business--

ln a way, it is.

Blake, l'm vey busy this afternoon.

lf you want to make an appointment for tomorrow,

just speak to my secretay.

Take your hands off me.

l wanna talk to you right now.

l told you l was busy. Now, will you take your hands off me?

Mercuric oxide mixed with paint.

What are you talking about?

lt's what we're going to be talking about in your office.

Unless you wanna discuss it out here,

loud and clear.

No.

l'll see you in my office.

Ryan, Mr. Carrington and l don't want to be disturbed.

Now, iust what is this bizarre behaviour all about?

lt's about a woman who tried to murder Jeff.

The co-owner of Cecil Colby's empire.

You're mad. That's a lie.

ls it?

l'll spare you the details. You already know them.

But the weapon was mercuric oxide.

Here are the copies of the purchase orders for that poison.

Signed by you.

What?

You were clever enough to destroy the rest of that evidence.

What evidence?

Adam told me about the painter who burned those panels,

on your orders,

so l can't see to it that you're locked up behind bars

where you belong.

Adam.

But l will see to it that you give back to Jeff

control of his Colbyco stock.

The merger.

The non-merger, you mean.

Because you're gonna call it off officially at the next board meeting.

Well, you iust told me that you can't prove anything.

What makes you think

l'm gonna go through with this preposterous suggestion?

Not think, Alexis. l know.

l warn you,

if you're even five minutes late for that board meeting,

l will not only inform the board members

about this whole sickening stoy,

l'll go public with it.

l'll leak details to the press about an unnamed rich widow

who was prepared to murder to get what she wanted.

There will be enough clues in the stoy

to destroy your reputation for good here in Denver.

And in the oil business as well.

Not even five minutes late. Remember.

Get me Adam Carrington.

Adam?

Yes, Mother.

l want to see you at my apartment immediately.

l'm vey busy. l can't make it for half an hour.

Can't you at least tell me what it's about now?

You known damned well what this is all about, my dear son.

And your days of getting away with it have just ended.

Mrs. Colby.

- What is it? - Mr. Carrington is here.

Good.

Send him in. l haven't finished with him yet.

Finished what, Mother?

Steven. l thought it was your father.

l just saw him out there.

Judging by the way he was attacking the elevator button

and the way you look right now, l'd say the two of you--

Yes, we were having one of our little rows.

Or not so little.

Darling, l've been batted about by that man before.

And l've survived.

Nothing that he nor anyone else can do

can bring me down.

Would you like a brandy?

No, thank you. What happened?

Nothing to wory about, darling.

He iust bombarded me with empty threats.

He threatened you?

Yes, in so many words.

Well, if he did, l wanna know about it.

Darling.

Darling, l can handle Blake Carrington.

And with you by my side, l feel vey safe.

Thank God at least one of my children is still with me.

Now, Steven, you have been working vey hard,

and l want you to go home and have an early night.

Now, that's orders from your mother and boss.

How about a trade-off?

l'll go home if the boss lets me drop her off first.

You've been putting in some pretty heavy hours yourself.

Oh, that's vey considerate of you, darling,

but l'm leaving from here.

l have a heavy date.

Anyone l know, Mrs. Colby?

Yes, you do, Mr. Carrington.

- But don't py. - All right.

Well, have a good time with whomever.

l intend to.

Give Danny a big kiss from me and say hello to Claudia.

- l will. - Bye, darling.

- Yes, Mrs. Colby? - Come in, please.

Brian, l want you to call my son, Adam.

Tell him that l'm working late at the office tonight

but that l want to see him at my apartment 8:OO,

and no excuses.

- Is that clear? - Vey clear, Mrs. Colby.

l think this presentation is just fine.

- Good. - Two things:

First, l want you to be at that board meeting with me

when Alexis throws in the towel.

Oh, l'll be there.

And, second, and much more important,

dinner tonight, you and me.

What do you say?

All right.

l think you'll like the restaurant.

You were that sure l'd say yes?

Well, let's say that l was hoping that you would say yes.

Do you understand? All press releases go through me.

l can assure you,

l, Tracy Kendall, do speak for Denver-Carrington.

Oh, Miss Grant, l thought you'd left for the day.

lt's iust that the phone rang just as l was leaving

and l rushed back in here and...

Well, my feet were killing me. l'm so sory l used your desk.

Tracy, relax. It's been a tough day.

Oh, there is no excuse, Miss Grant.

lt's Kystle. And no excuses needed.

- Now, sit back down-- - No.

- l iust couldn't. - Yes, you can.

Tracy, as long as we work together, you can sit anywhere you'd like.

l mean, who knows, maybe tomorrow l'll wanna sit at your desk.

Deal?

Deal.

Tracy, let's have lunch together.

Oh, l'd like that.

You pick the place and we'll get to know each other better.

l'd like to know more about what you've done.

Oh, you mean, my few years on Madison Avenue

before coming to Denver?

l didn't know you worked in New York. How exciting.

lt was exciting.

And kind of a hassle too. And the competition, forget it.

l mean, you talk about a jungle...

That's why l like it here.

l mean, Denver is no small town,

but the people here, there's sort of a humanity about them.

They're so down to earth.

Just nice.

Well, l have to go. l have a date.

Let me guess who.

A certain Mr. Blake Carrington?

How'd you know?

Oh, l don't know.

There's just--

There's sort of a glow about you that comes out whenever he's around.

And l see it now.

Well, don't work too late, understand?

Yes, l do.

Good night, boss.

Mr. Colby insists on seeing you.

Hello, Jeff.

All right, Brian, you can go.

Good night.

What's wrong?

Oh, Jeff, whatever you're thinking...

What does an intended victim think

when he's face to face with the woman who tried to kill him?

Oh, you can't believe that. You know l'd never hurt you.

- Jeff, you don't know the facts. - Oh, yes, l do.

Ty Switzerland.

You had collapsed.

You were half out of your mind. l was tying to save you.

By dragging me out of the hospital and off to your private clinic in Gstaad?

Finish the job you started?

No.

To protect you. To help you get well.

Well, the living don't need your kind of help.

lf l'd have known then what you're capable of,

even though the doctors said my uncle Cecil died of a heart attack,

l would have ordered an autopsy.

Oh, my God, you can't believe that.

You know that l loved your uncle, _e55 .

As a black widow.

A merger with you is a signed death warrant.

ln marriage or business.

Look, Jeff.

l can understand how you feel, but it's not what you think.

l've got a meeting that l can just cannot get out of.

Just give me until tomorrow

and l promise you that you'll have all the facts

and then you'll agree with me that the merger with Blake

should go through.

- Trust me. - You're not going anywhere.

You're hurting me.

Consider yourself lucm. You almost killed me.

Neither of us are leaving this office until you pay me back in full.

All of my interest in Colbyco that you stole by poisoning me.

That's impossible. Eveybody's gone for the night.

There are papers to be drawn up--

Get Gerald Wilson on the phone. Get him over here.

Those papers are gonna be drawn up tonight.

l told you that l've got a meeting.

Well, if you wanna get to that meeting, get Gerald Wilson over here now.

l'm not leaving this office

until l have that paper signed and in my hand.

Did you hear me?

All right.

Did you understand that?

Well, l understood the app�t�t part.

Same thing he said to us the first time we were here.

On our first evening out together.

He said, ''Good appetite to you and to the vey beautiful lady.''

l think he's flirting with you.

The same as he did the first time.

l think this is the same wine as that first time.

lt is.

lt is a wine that l personally discovered--

- In France during the war. - In France during the war.

Same table.

Same wine.

Same waiter.

Shall l guess the entr�e?

Veal with lemon, capers and sorrel.

What a good memoy the beautiful lady has.

- You know what else l remember? - What?

How nervous l was.

That first night out with my handsome boss.

How my hand began to shake as l lifted my wine glass.

Well, now l'd like to make a confession.

My hand was shaking that night as well.

Really?

Well, you might have told me.

Oh, l was too busy being Blake Carrington for you.

l fell in love with Blake Carrington that night.

That night you moved out of the house and went to La Mirage,

l thought you'd fallen out of love.

l felt a coldness surround me. An infinite coldness.

And l knew then that no matter what my life was,

without you,

l would never feel that warmth again.

l'd lost you.

Given the chance, l'd never let that happen again.

You didn't lose me, Blake.

l just had to find myself first.

And that's the truth.

Blake told Fallon and me not to talk to anyone

about what we discovered up in Billings.

There was no proof of anything.

How can we talk about suspicion to people who--?

People who what? Aren't personally involved?

l am.

l'm your wife. What affects you, affects me.

l'm sory, sweetheart.

From now on, we will share eveything.

- Eveything? - Yes, of course.

Even your love?

l can feel it, Jeff.

Evey time you look at me,

l know l'm not the only one you're seeing.

l see the woman l love.

Which? Wife number two or wife number one?

Oh, come on, l can't just block Fallon out of my life.

Then you both have that in common.

Sweetheart, l can't have just loved one person in my life

anymore than you have.

Now, Fallon's a part of my life and she always will be.

But she's not my wife.

You are.

And l love you.

Then l want you to prove it to me.

Love me now.

Please?

l know you couldn't make love with me Iast night

and l understand that, really.

But l want you now.

l can't. Not now.

- Why not? - Because too much is happening.

l can't get what Alexis did out of my mind.

All right, but when? Could you tell me when?

l don't know. l'm sory, Kirby.

Love means more to me than just performance.

l wouldn't drink that if l were you, Adam.

You're going to need all your wits about you.

Good evening, Mother.

l've been waiting for you and the firing squad.

Where is it?

l don't need one.

No, you do just fine on your own.

- To us. - Us?

After what you've done to me, there's no more ''us.''

From now on, Adam, you're on your own.

And l'll be damned if l'll protect you anymore.

You framed me, Adam.

You tricked me into signing those papers.

And if you think that l'm gonna let you get away with it,

you vastly underestimate me.

l may be guilty of some things. Underestimating you, never.

Sometimes l think l don't even know you.

Who are you?

My mother's son.

l might fight for my power, but l would never, ever kill for it.

Put to the test?

l wonder.

After l signed my name to those papers,

what dingy little corner did you sneak away to

to write ''mercuric oxide compound'' on them

and change them into purchasing orders?

Do you have any proof of that?

Do l have any proof?

You know perfectly well that l had no idea what you were doing to Jeff

until the night before he collapsed.

Well.

lf you've already told Father about this, and if he believed you,

l doubt vey much whether we'd be having this little chat, you and l.

l haven't said a word to Blake.

The reason is that you're going to tell him the truth.

That l'm innocent.

l've already told him my stoy and l have no intention of changing it.

But l did learn one lesson from you, Mother.

People do finally get what they deserve.

Adam, you can't do this to me.

Considering who my mother is, it's no effort at all.

Thank you, Blake. It was a wonderful evening.

Was?

Aren't you going to ask me in for a brandy or something?

lt'd be a shame to end a wonderful evening like this.

lt was a wonderful evening, Blake, but...

But?

l know. l understand.

There will be other nights.

And you are a working girl. You do need your sleep.

Good night.

Good night.

Well, thanks to you, my holdings in Colbyco are back where they belong,

right in my pocket.

- That was quick. - All in a night's work.

And signed by a woman who shall remain nameless.

By the way,

do you know how many bars and restaurants are in Denver?

- No. - Oh, neither do l.

But l showed up here tonight,

hoping to talk with someone who speaks my language.

What about Kirby?

_e55 ...

We've each made choices.

Right or wrong, we have to live with them.

ls it that easy for you?

l keep telling myself it's over.

But no matter how hard l ty, l keep seeing us together.

And that moment in Montana where we both wanted each other

and made love.

What about the other moments?

Like separate bedrooms

and sitting down to a meal together and we don't even look at each other.

Yeah, well, look at us now and tell me.

No matter how hard we fight it, tell me that we don't belong together.

We don't, Jeff.

l can't belong.

l need to be free.

You are free, Fallon. You've been free your whole life.

Eveything you've ever wanted. Anything you've ever wanted.

But there's more to life.

There's commitment.

There's living and growing together.

For you, and that's fine.

But l can't be reined in. l--

l need somebody who doesn't need me.

Who's in control of their own life.

Where eveything is possible.

A young Blake Carrington.

He doesn't have a name, Jeff.

Maybe he doesn't even exist.

l iust don't think that going backnrards is the answer for either one of us.

Who's there?

Adam?

Adam, is that you?

ls anybody there?

Oh, God, l missed you last night.

l almost called you at 4 in the morning.

Oh, l wish you had.

l couldn't sleep.

We don't need telephones now.

Don't move. l'll be right back.

- Hello? - Steven, thank God you're there.

- Mother, what is it? - l heard someth�ng.

l think there's someone in my apartment.

Have you checked around?

No, l'm too terr�f�ed to move.

He could have got in from anywhere.

He could have come from the balcony or up the back stairs.

Mother, you live in a vey secure building.

l'm sure no one could get in without being seen.

Steven, they did before.

Look, maybe l'm being irrational but l'm frightened.

l am really scared.

All right, lock your bedroom door and call the security guard.

l'm on my way.

ls she all right?

l don't know.

l'm sory, Claudia.

Oh, don't wory about me. You better hury.

- Good evening, sir. - Good evening, Gerard.

- Mr. Carrington. - Yes.

A Farnsworth Dexter phoned a little while ago.

Farnsworth Dexter?

He said he was Sam Dexter's son calling from Wyoming.

Oh, yes, of course.

Did he mention anything about his father's condition?

Only that it was the same.

He wanted you to know that he would be here in Denver in a few days

and would like to drop by to see you before the big meeting, as he said.

Fine, thank you. Good night.

Good night, sir.

There's nothing out there.

Did you check that service elevator?

Eveything's been locked up.

The security guard is right. No one's here or has been.

Oh, thank God.

Darling, what would l do without you?

Now, what are sons for?

Or a filial phrase to that effect.

Perhaps you should ask Adam that.

- Adam? - Yes.

Of both my sons, you are the only one l can trust.

You don't think Adam would...?

Come on, Mother,

l don't know what went on between you that sent him to work for Dad.

- But he's not your enemy. - Are you sure?

l really think that somebody was here. And Adam does have a key.

No one entered the lobby or took the elevators.

No one was here.

And as for Adam, he may be tough to get along with,

but you're the lady who gave birth to him.

He's your son.

Ty to get some sleep. You'll feel better in the morning.

Good night, darling.

Where did you get this?

From the old woman who said she was my grandmother.

The initials.

''A.A.C.''

What else--?

What else did she say?

She told me that my real name...

Was Adam Alexander Carrington.

Operator.

l want Information in Billings, Montana, please.

Hello, Information?

Yes, l'd like a listing for a Dr. Edwards, please.

No, no, l don't know his first name. It's just Dr. Edwards.

Operator, please, hury up.

lt's urgent that l find him.

- Oh, good morning, Miss Grant. - Good morning.

- Could you see that these get mailed? - Sure thing.

Kystle.

- What is it, Mark? - l have to talk with you.

lf it's about what happened the other night--

lt is about what happened the other night.

l was drunk and l came on like an idiot.

l'm sory.

Mark, l'm not angy with you.

You did a stupid thing,

but you also did something that l'll never forget.

You saved my life.

Now, what happened the other night,

l don't ever want to have happen again.

Now, there can be nothing between us but friendship.

ls that clear?

Yeah, it's clear, Kystle. Even to me.

You don't have to paint a picture.

That's right.

l want you to file a flight plan for Billings, Montana.

l'm leaving for the airport as soon as my chauffeur brings the car.

So have the plane ready to leave.

Morning.

Mark.

l told you that l didn't like unannounced visitors of any kind.

Especially your kind.

l'm gonna have the doorman throw you out.

l told him l was working for you.

As your bodyguard.

Really?

Well.

That doesn't come as any surprise.

l knew that sooner or later,

you'd find the offer too tempting to resist.

The offer? Or you?

The iob is yours, Mark. But l am way beyond your reach.

As, obviously, is Kystle.

That is why you're here, isn't it?

What are you talking about?

You know perfectly well what l'm talking about.

All right, your quarters are downstairs.

And you'll be on call 24 hours a day, whenever and wherever l need you.

When can you start?

About a week. But it's gonna cost you, Alexis.

Oh, Mark, l never discuss money matters with my employees.

Call Mr. Wade at Colbyco

and l'm sure that he can come up with an acceptable figure.

Now, if you'll excuse me, l have a few phone calls to make.

Goodbye, Mark.

Can l get you anything else, sir?

No, thank you, Ellen. Just some more coffee, please.

- Mr. Carrington. - Yes?

Mr. Dexter's here to see you, sir.

Oh, good. Show him in, please, Gerard.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Dexter, sir.

Morning.

Good morning. l'm Dex Dexter.

Sit down, won't you?

- Care for some breakfast? - Oh, l've already eaten.

But thank you. l'll just have some coffee.

You've got a really great house.

- It's beautiful. - Thank you vey much.

As l said in my message, l flew in from Wyoming early

because l wanted to meet with you before the board meeting.

l'm glad you did.

As you undoubtedly know,

your father and l have been friends for a lot of years.

He's a good man, and a decent one too.

l'm so sory to hear about that heart attack he had.

Well, it's gonna be a long and slow recovey, l'm afraid.

So l brought you this.

lt's my father's power of attorney.

l'll be representing him in all of his business interests.

lncluding tomorrow's Denver-Carrington board meeting.

Speaking of which,

there's a rumour going around

that the merger with Colbyco might be called off.

lt's no rumour, l'm pleased to say.

l wonder if the pleasure is not all yours.

What does that mean?

Meaning your difficulties with Alexis Colby, your ex-wife.

l trust they have no influence on your business sense.

That merger's being called off

because it's the right move for Denver-Carrington.

lt has nothing to do with my personal life.

Which, quite frankly, has nothing to do with you.

Oh, but it does.

As a member of your board of directors,

l feel the merger to be of benefit for both companies

regardless of your personal difficulties.

Now, l know my company, young man--

My name is Dex.

Just as yours is Blake.

There may be age between us, not experience or knowledge.

l've checked you out.

Rhodes scholar.

Graduated summa cum laude from the School of Mines.

However, it might interest you to know that this is not a school.

That diplomas are kept in file drawers.

Out of the way.

Where you tried to place my father.

What the devil are you talking about?

Sam Dexter was a valued associate of mine.

The way l saw it, you could bend him as you wished.

Well, don't confuse the father with the son.

l rarely bend.

And l never break.

l'll see you at the meeting, Blake.

And thank you for the coffee.

lt's late, Mrs. Colby.

l've had a vey busy day with patients.

And l have been waiting for you all day, doctor.

- l've been through all this before. - Not with me, you haven't.

No, but with the boy's father.

After Adam went to Denver, Mr. Carrington had the same doubts.

You could have asked him instead of flying all the way to Billings.

Dr. Edwards, what l do or do not discuss with my ex-husband

is no concern of yours.

l have my doubts about Adam's claim.

l was there when Kate Torrance brought the baby back from Denver,

on the same day Adam Carrington was kidnapped.

But that doesn't prove a thing.

That child didn't then or ever bear the slightest resemblance

to either of his supposed parents.

l am talking about blood ties, not resemblance.

No genuine son of mine could ever betray me so viciously.

Betray you?

Yes, and l intend to disown him

and expose him for the fraud that he really is.

l know him to be capable of violent flashes of temper,

but surely a mother could forgive that.

Attempted murder cannot be forgiven.

Whatever he's done, however it looks,

have you ever thought there may be an explanation for his actions?

lt was the drugs he took.

Those damned drugs.

Drugs?

Adam was a loner here.

He never fit in. And never knew why.

Only that there was something that separated him

from those around him.

When there was no one to turn to,

he took to so-called mind-expanding drugs.

They twist, destroy, and sometimes kill.

Oh, my God.

You know, l've seen Adam sit in that chair

weeping hysterically one minute, and laughing out of control another.

Terrified of a private world where no one could reach him.

Yes, but he got out of it.

Other people can.

Oh, yeah, he survived.

But who knows what the residual effects are?

What residual effects?

Distorted judgement. Paranoia.

Episodes in which he might do things

that in his responsible mind, he'd never dream of doing.

Responsible mind.

lf he were physically disabled, would you turn your back on him?

No.

ln a tragic way, he is, you know.

Don't destroy him, Mrs. Colby.

Help him.

Good morning, Blake.

Good morning.

- Thought l'd get here early. - So l see.

Maybe it's because l never like being late for poker games.

Oh, is that what you think this is?

Well, your ex-wife--

l mean, l've never met the lady, but l hear she deals in vey high cards.

Then you should find this meeting vey instructive.

Good morning, Mrs. Colby.

Mr. Carrington's in the boardroom waiting.

Down the hall and to your left.

l know where it is, Marcia.

Kystle.

The typing pool is on the first floor, are you lost?

l always know where l belong, Alexis.

But that's the ladies' room. Are you lost?

l heard you'd been re-hired.

But secretaries are neither wanted nor needed at this meeting.

You heard right.

Except l'm not a secretay anymore.

Any notes that l take will be for a press release.

l'll be sure and send you a copy.

Oh, that's vey considerate of you.

l can't wait to read your first attempt at literacy.

That now brings us to new business on the agenda.

ln my opinion, there are--

Good morning, gentlemen.

Nick.

We waited for you as long as we could, Alexis.

And we opened the meeting.

Now, it's my understanding that you have a statement to make

regarding the proposed merger

between Colbyco and Denver-Carrington.

Now, if there's no obiection from any of you gentlemen,

l'd like to get on with that statement.

You're absolutely right.

As much as l'd like to put this off,

l'm afraid that we must all face the truth.

As l have.

This is the sad evidence, gentlemen, that even l could make a mistake.

Although l originally urged this board to vote for a merger,

these documents have proven to me that, as head of Colbyco,

l cannot, in all conscience, recommend such an action.

- Is this some kind of--? - The nerve.

- How dare she--? - Gentlemen, please.

This is painful, l know, but l must continue.

At one time, l envisioned both companies as oil giants.

Which, bonded together, would make histoy.

Unfortunately,

subsequent research has proven that only Colbyco is a giant.

Denver-Carrington, by comparison, a mere dwarf.

A dwarf whose management

has shown no potential for creative gromh.

My late husband, Cecil Colby, built an empire.

The stability and gromh of which he entrusted to me.

l cannot betray his trust

by allowing Colbyco to cary the burden of Denver-Carrington.

l am therefore cancelling all plans for this merger as of today.

l will entertain a motion to adjourn.

- So moved. - l second.

All in favour?

All opposed?

We're adjourned.

lt may not be bitter wine,

but l'll be damned if it has a sweet taste to it.

- You won, Blake. - l take little joy in that.

Knowing that Alexis is walking around free

after what she did to you.

Oh, don't wory. She's not finished paying.

Not yet.

Congratulations.

That was one of the best performances l've ever seen.

Not now, Kystle.

l'm not in the mood for your gloating.

Gloating?

l only commented on what l saw.

On what you thought you saw.

Tough morning?

You cost me a great deal today, Adam.

Normally, l'd make you pay dearly for that.

But?

You're my son.

And whatever you do, l'll always feel that bond between us.

You said--

That day you walked out on me, that l didn't love you.

You're wrong.

Maybe when you've suffered enough, paid enough,

you'll understand that love has many forms.

Many pains.

And sacrifice is one of them.

Oh, God.

Don't bother to announce me.

We're old friends and we both love surprises.

This is Colbyco, Mr. Dexter.

That's what it says on the building.

My business with Denver-Carrington is terminated.

So, what are you doing here?

Unfinished business.

Well, is that the start or the finish of your business?

That depends on you.

l admired your style at the meeting.

l liked it even better just now.

Oh, why should that matter to me?

Well, now that we know we have something in common,

we can do business together.

l don't like the word ''common,'' Mr. Dexter.

Oh, Dex.

l was saddled with my grandfather's first name, Farnsworth.

l chose not to use it.

And l choose with whom l do business.

- You spoke of an empire. - That's right.

- Well, l'm forming one. - Are you? How impressive.

And not with Blake Carrington.

- You interested? - Maybe.

Tar sands. Canada.

Only four sites near the Athabasca River.

There's believed to be more oil Iocked in those sands

than there is under all of Saudi Arabia.

Believed by whom?

By me.

And you're never wrong?

Hardly ever.

You know, extracting that oil can be a vey expensive process.

Well, Alexis Colby has never turned anything down

because it was expensive.

But now add to that Colbyco's clout, my muscle.

Together we'll reap a profit beyond your imagination.

l might be interested.

Let's say, 80-20.

l was willing to give you 40 percent.

You underestimate your value, ma'am.

And you overestimate your appeal.

l think we're pretty evenly matched.

Let's say, 50-50.

Fine.

lf l were interested.

- But you're not? - No, l'm not.

That's your loss.

l guess you're not the vey smart woman l thought that you were.

But you're a fantastic woman to kiss.

Fantastic.

Hold the mayo on mine. l'll take whatever you're making.

l'm not really hungy. l don't even know why l came down.

Come on, Fallon, Iet's clear the air, okay?

You don't have to run away.

- l'm not. - You are and you have been.

Look, we both went overboard making love that night in Montana.

lt was a mistake and we both realise it and it's not going to happen again.

But we do live in the same house

and occasionally we run into each other.

And you'd like to think we could raid the refrigerator together

without feeling uncomfortable.

That would be nice.

Well, maybe l did overreact a little.

A lot.

A lot. What do you want on your sandwich?

Well, l'll take whatever you're making.

Ham, cheese, all the trimmings?

Kirby.

We were just grabbing a bite.

Why don't you join us?

l just lost my appetite.

Kirby, l don't know why you're making--

Kirby?

Look, l don't know what you overheard downstairs,

but we can't talk through a locked door. Now open up.

Why? l have nothing to say to you.

Because l want you to come out.

Now, you're not a child anymore, damn it.

l don't know what l am to you. l don't know.

Well, then why don't you stay in there until you figure it out?

- Fine. - In the meantime, if you need me

l'll be downstairs having a sandwich.

Good morning, Mrs. Colby.

Good morning, Irene.

Hi, little Blake.

Did you fill that little tummy of yours this morning?

Little Blake ate beautifully.

- All of his oatmeal? - Well, just about all.

Good.

Now, what is that saying?

''We have to stop meeting this way.''

Something like that.

- Maybe it's iust animal magnetism. - Don't start, Jeff.

Not even as a joke.

Which it isn't.

Where were you last night? l went back to the kitchen and you were gone.

Well, remember you said you lost your appetite.

l lost mine too.

Twice in less than 5 minutes.

Must be some kind of record.

Well, it doesn't have to be that way.

Yes, it does.

l have to go.

- Daddy. - Good morning, darling.

Are you going to that oil conference

- in Los Angeles tomorrow? - Yes, indeed. Why?

l wanna hitch a ride with you.

You mean, you're gonna abandon your hotel, even for one day?

No, no. It has to do with La Mirage.

l wanna see an architect who's doing some exciting things there.

l haven't been getting what l want for the new wing.

- Is that all right? - All right. Consider yourself booked.

- Thanks. - Bye.

There's the three-minute eggs you ordered.

l'll see what's happening in the kitchen.

Thank you, Gerard.

Fallon, l've been waiting a week for you to say something to me.

Say what, Adam?

That you apologise.

For having suspected me in complicity with Jeff's malaise.

The word is ''poisoning.''

Yes, poisoning.

l was tying to protect Mother.

Oh, God.

Protecting Mother.

All l can say is you have a vey easy conscience.

What does that mean?

What it means,

is anyone who could have known anything that horrible

and kept his mouth shut for even five seconds, is guilty in my book.

Father's forgiven me, Fallon.

Well, l haven't.

And l never will.

What's your problem, really?

ls this excess of hostility on your part

due to the fact that you're simply going through a period of starvation?

A kind of sexual anorexia?

How dare you talk to me like this.

l dare.

And l also dare say that what you really need

is some guy to help you out.

l understand you were quite a free spirit in various beds.

Maybe you should revive an old talent.

lt would probably make you a hell of a lot more fun to live with.

You did that once before, and once is it.

You scum.

You're no better than Mother.

You and Alexis are two of a kind.

Now, what does that make you, Fallon?

We're all part of the same family,

my beloved sister.

Lest you forget.

lt's good, huh?

You finished? Yes. It's good.

Where's Daddy? Here, why don't you have soup?

And the apple sauce too. There's Daddy.

- Good morning. - Hi. Good morning.

You were sleeping, l didn't wanna wake you.

Well, Danny did. He said, ''Hey, l'm hungy.'' Look at him.

He's tying to feed himself.

- Where's Mrs. Gordon? - She had to go run an errand

but she said she'd be back before we both go to work.

Oh, darling, would you get that? l've got some things on the stove.

Hello?

Good morning, Mother.

Okay.

Right.

Bye-bye.

Sweetheart?

Oh, that looks great but l'm afraid l can't stay. l'm sory.

- Why not? - l've gotta run downtown.

l've got a meeting with my mother.

- As in breakfast meeting? - Yeah.

Steven, l thought your hours were your own.

Until the office that you work real hard in at least opens.

Believe me. l would rather stay here and be with you.

But l've been doing some research on this tar sands project in Canada

and Alexis needs to talk to me about it.

She needs to talk to you?

Or she wants to steal an extra precious hour with her son?

l could use a translation on that one, Claudia.

Okay, here it comes. The operative word is ''irritated.''

l am irritated with your mother.

Because she seems to demand a lot of time from you.

Which l should be spending with you.

Yes, damn it.

Well, l'm sory, Claudia, but l'm in the oil business.

And you of all people should know it's not a 9-to-5 operation.

l've gotta get dressed.

Thank you.

Blake.

l'm in the middle of it right now.

Alexis' version of why the merger was called off.

'''The Denver-Carrington management

has set no records for creative gromh,' said Mrs. Colby.

'And Colbyco, therefore, cancels the merger plans.'''

That amounts to slander on her part.

Yes, but l can't sue her

because it would open up the whole ugly incident with Jeff.

Then l want your okay to issue another release.

Covering Denver-Carrington's financial gromh rate for the past six months.

Which we both know is more impressive than Colbyco's.

And l think we should publicise it.

Fine.

l like your fighting style, champ.

l've just begun to fight.

Then go to it.

Now, how about some coffee?

Great.

lncidentally, there's something else l want from you.

The pleasure of your company on a trip tomorrow.

Los Angeles? The oil conference?

l'd also like to go out to the racetrack.

There's a horse l'm interested in running in the seventh race.

- Sounds like fun. - Then you'll go with me?

- Yes. - Good.

Because l've already reserved a suite for you there.

Did you, now?

Well, back to business.

l'll have copies of my release ready to hand out there.

Just in case it hasn't come out in the press yet.

Oh, Kystle?

Are you enioying yourself with all this?

l mean, are you happy here?

Yes. l am happy.

l woke up in the middle of the night and l thought:

''What a good feeling sharing his life.

Being near him again.''

''Him''? l hope you were referring to me.

Yes, referring to you.

- Marcia. - Yes, Mr. Carr�ngton?

Call Jensen's phone, will you?

Tell Mr. Jensen l'll be by this afternoon

to talk about designing a vey special ring.

R�ght away, s�r.

Just coffee this morning, Mrs. Colby?

Yes, that's all. Thanks, Jack. You can go.

Good morning, Jeff.

- What's all the urgency? - What the hell is this?

Oh, l believe it's called the financial section of The Chron�cle.

Which prints self-serving lies for rich ladies.

How much did you pay this reporter to get him to believe this garbage?

l don't like your tone, Jeff.

And l don't want you speaking for me without consulting me first.

l own half of this company, in case you've forgotten.

No, l have not forgotten.

Let me tell you something.

When an important merger is approved by the government and then called off,

people in this industy are going to gossip.

Something you're not used to.

Something that l thought that should be ended in the most effective way.

l've been kidding myself for the past week

that l'd find a way to live with you.

ln business.

But the kidding is over. From now on l want nothing more to do with you.

Really?

What do you want?

Buy me out or l buy you out.

All right.

l'll buy.

But in your late uncle's name.

Name your price.

You own 47 percent of Denver-Carrington.

The shares my Uncle Cecil bought up tying to do Blake in.

l'll trade you 47 of my 50 percent of Colbyco.

An even swap.

Blake let you off easy.

lf it had been up to me l would've stepped in and ruined you.

Now make up your mind while there's still time.

Just follow my orders, Gerald.

l run this company, and when l want your opinion l'll ask for it, councillor.

- Mother. - Steven.

Darling, come in. What have you got for me?

The latest data on the tar sands just came into the office.

Oh, good.

Not so good?

lt's iust that l don't understand your sudden interest in that arena

when economically, it's not all that feasible.

Darling, l'll be the iudge of that. Thank you.

lf that's a dismissal, l'm not ready to go yet.

Oh, Steven,

l would never dismiss you.

But l will dismiss these ladies. Thank you.

lt's beautiful work as usual.

l'll see you next week.

Well, you obviously have something else to say, so why don't you say it?

l've been waiting a week now for you to tell me the real stoy

behind your decision to call off the merger with Denver-Carrington.

Why is it l'm not entitled to know what's going on here at Colbyco?

Steven, trust me. l know what l'm doing.

And maybe, iust maybe, Blake's involved in this.

- What do you mean? - Did his threats the day we came back

from San Francisco change your mind?

Of course not.

Hollow threats from your father don't bother me.

Oh, Steven, don't look at me like that.

Other people do and l don't care, but not you.

Oh, darling.

Eveything that l do, l do for you.

Colbyco belongs to you and me and your son.

Together the three of us, we're gonna conquer the world.

You should make that the four of us, Mother.

l'm married to Claudia now.

Darling, how could l forget? l do know that.

l'll be at the office.

All right. And l'll be all over the place, l have a million things to do.

You're out of Colbyco.

Yeah, and now l'm out pounding the pavement looking for a job.

Well, there must be somebody in Denver who might use you.

Well, do you need anyone to sharpen your pencils?

How can l say no to a man who owns 47 percent of my company?

And who's like a son to me?

Couldn't have come at a better time. l'm off to Los Angeles tomorrow.

You can mind the store here.

l'll arrange an office for you, but in the meantime, you use this one.

, Well, it's a bit small

but l think l'll manage.

Adam, come on in.

Good morning, Father. Jeff.

l've got some vey good news.

Wonderful news as a matter of fact.

Jeff is back where he belongs.

Here at Denver-Carrington with us.

That is wonderful news.

Congratulations, Jeff.

Thank you.

l'd like to suggest that we forget about the past.

That's behind us.

By the way, Adam.

We're gonna have to be both vey nice to Mr. Colby here

because this time he's come aboard with a big chunk of the company.

Well, l think it's time for a little champagne, huh?

Please.

Yes?

Yes, of course, send her in.

Claudia.

Nice to see you.

Thank you, Alexis.

l'm here to pick up Steven. We're having dinner at the St. Dennis.

Oh, well, you must ty the house p�t�, it's divine.

l'm not here to talk about food.

Would you like a glass of shery?

No, thank you.

l suppose you're angy because l went by the apartment.

Mrs. Gordon must have told you.

She said you came into the apartment

and went through our bedroom closets like a tornado.

Now, Steven is a married man, Alexis.

He does not need his mother to supervise his wardrobe or his life.

What is so funny?

lt's not funny, really, it's just that

it wasn't his wardrobe that l was going through, it was yours.

lt was mine?

What is wrong with mine?

Oh, nothing.

Nothing at all. It's perfect if you're Claudia Blaisdel.

But you're Steven Carrington's wife.

l iust wanted to surprise you and buy you a few new chic things.

That's vey kind of you.

Not at all.

Would you like a biscuit?

No, thank you, it's vey kind of you.

Except that my husband happens to have a vey good job.

And l work as well.

So l really don't need any gifts from you.

Oh, but you do, Claudia.

You see, you're new to Steven's world

and l don't think you really know what's expected of you.

Steven no longer lives in that mansion.

Or in that world.

Steven's name is Carrington.

And he's always going to bear that name

and that image.

l thought it's what's inside a person that's important.

Well, of course, it is.

But you have to accept that the world,

and society,

iudges us by the way we act and dress.

You wouldn't want to drag Steven down, would you?

Look,

l'm sory if l've upset you.

So please accept my apology.

l'll think about it.

Well, if there's any doubt that it can be accomplished within the next 48 hours,

l wanna hear about it personally.

All right, thank you.

Come in.

Oh, excuse me.

l was out riding in the area,

thought l'd drop by and see Blake Carrington.

One of the servants said l'd find him in here.

Well, Blake's not here.

He's going to Los Angeles tomorrow with his former wife and his daughter.

By the way, l'm Jeff Colby.

Dex Dexter.

Sam Dexter's son.

l saw you at the board meeting. l'm sory about your father's illness.

Well, thank you. He's coming along slowly.

Since Blake's not here, is there anything l can do for you?

No, l'll catch up with him when he gets back.

But you can clear up some confusion.

l thought you were a co-owner of Colbyco.

l was. l'm with Denver-Carrington now.

Well, things happen real fast around here, don't they?

Sometimes.

Then l've got to assume

that this is a step towards reactivating the merger.

Dex, the merger's off.

Off?

Well, there's got to be an interesting stoy behind this.

There is.

But you're not going to tell me about it.

You'll be receiving a memo about my joining Denver-Carrington

along with the other board members.

Well, l will be sure to open all of my mail from now on.

lt's nice to see you again.

Nice seeing you.

Hello there.

Hello.

Name's Dexter.

Mark Jennings.

Well, l see you two have met.

Mark, you know where your room is.

The downstairs suite.

ls something the matter?

Oh, no, no.

Except maybe l happen to have arrived at an inopportune moment.

Unorthodox moment would be more to the point, Mr. Dexter.

- Dex. - Mr. Dexter,

l usually do business at my office, not my apartment.

So, what was this pressing matter that you had to see me about?

An invitation to dinner.

Oh, an invitation to dinner.

ls that so pressing?

The truth and nothing but?

That would be nice.

Well, apparently, Jeff Colby has left you for Blake.

So there's more to calling off that merger than you claim there was.

So therefore, l figured that we could break bread sticks together.

And talk about what really goes on behind closed doors.

That's what closed doors are for, to keep out the curious.

l'm terribly sory l have to turn down your wonderful invitation to dinner,

but you found your way up here all right,

you can find your way down.

Well, that's unfortunate.

Because l happen to know of an excellent little Italian restaurant.

Well, is this some sort of compulsion of yours

or a old Wyoming custom?

Going around kissing women that you hardly know.

As l said the last time,

only when they have fantastic mouths.

Wyoming, like in ''Ride them, cowboy?''

Not amusing, Mark. l'm paying you for protection,

not for your alleged sense of humour.

l'd like you to fix me a martini.

Vodka, a whisper of vermouth, two olives,

and make sure that the glass is properly iced.

Shall l bring it to your room?

Just leave it on the bar.

Oh, and, Mark,

in future l suggest that you remain in your room until l call for you.

Just a whisper of vermouth.

Maybe next time, cyanide.

Come in.

- Morning. - Good morning.

Press release on Carrington Plaza. l'd like for you to read and okay it.

Right.

l'll get to it later.

l'd like to have it released today.

The lady is in a hury.

The gentleman is right.

Why?

ls it because the lovely Kystle is in Los Angeles

and you'd like to collect a little lovely gloy while she's gone?

Well, it was my idea

to toot Denver-Carrington's horn about a new real estate complex

that happens to make a contribution to the beauty of the community.

And almost all in one breathe. Bravo.

- But you're forgetting one thing. - Such as?

You're tooting your own horn along with it.

Well, it iust so happens that ''ambition'' is not a dirty word in my dictionay.

Excuse me.

Yes.

What is it, Jeff?

Yeah, l'll be right there.

Don't go away.

l'll be back.

We've got a management problem out at the Big Pine fields.

Check out our foreman. There have been a lot of complaints.

l can't do that.

l'm gonna be tied up the next few days at Carrington Plaza

going over the new mall.

At whose orders, Blake's?

No answer, Adam.

Why?

Because you made that up to avoid doing something l asked you to do?

l don't care what you think about anything.

But let me tell you this anyway.

Denver-Carrington's real estate operations

require as much attention as its oil ventures.

And Blake lets me use my own initiative.

You're not going anywhere yet.

Ever since you came to Colbyco right up to now

you've been fighting me all the way.

l wanna know why.

Vey easy answer.

Because you've never recognised me or treated me as an equal.

Oh, that's a crock, Adam, and you know it.

You know what l think it is?

lt's that you wanted Kirby but she wanted me.

Which makes you the winner and me the loser.

Well, if that makes you happy, Jeff, think what you like.

Meantime, if you're looking for me,

ty the Carrington Plaza.

Nor in mine.

- What? - Ambition.

lt isn't a dirty word in my dictionay either.

ln fact, it's one l live by.

Good, now that we've got that settled,

may l get on with some work,

- after you okay my release? - In a moment.

After we discuss my helping you up the ladder, so to speak.

Nice approach.

Classic.

- But a bit out of date, Adam. - You seemed to enjoy it nonetheless.

- l did. - There's more.

l just bet there is.

- Your bed? - Or yours.

Maybe l should let you in on something.

l do not partake of sex unless it's for mutual pleasure.

And l do not mix business with pleasure.

Well, that's honest enough.

lf anything, l am a vey honest type.

My okay. Okay?

And this round goes to you, Tracy.

But the fight isn't over, and it won't be until l win.

Now, how's that for honest?

And Vague Lady together on the front end.

Then Pug�tte �s back �n th�rd.

Longest Day and Vague Lady cont�nue str�de for str�de.

ln the run for the w�re, Longest Day, Vague Lady.

Then �t's back to Pug�tte follow�ng �n th�rd.

And at the w�re, Longest Day on top.

The s�xth race order of f�n�sh,

Longest Day was f�rst, Vague Lady second,

and Pug�tte th�rd.

And that result �s now o_�c�al

w�th the exacta pay�ng $106--

Jeff, how are you?

Exacta pay o_ $106.40--

Blake.

Ed, how are you?

Darling, you remember Ed McFadden, he was at our wedding.

- Oh, of course, hello. - Good to see you.

- My daughter, Fallon. - Fallon.

Hi, Ed. Would you excuse me?

l'm gonna get our table and place a bet before the next race.

- Come on. Let's have a drink. - All right.

l'd like to put $100 on number seven to win.

Sory.

l hate to see beautiful woman to throw their money away.

You should put it on number one.

- Really? - Allegree.

A beautiful famous horse from South America.

Where you're from?

lt's where l've been living the past few years.

Well, where l come from, we make our own decisions.

So it's still number seven.

The horses are near�ng the start�ng gate for the seventh race.

Mutuel w�ndows w�ll close shortly.

Lad�es and gentleman, please place your wagers.

The most incredibly lavish wedding l'd ever been to.

And l gotta tell you, Blake,

your wife is even more gorgeous than she was then.

Ed, you've been in Australia for quite a while.

Apparently you don't know that Kystle and l are no longer married.

Well, then, it's certainly the friendliest divorce on record.

You two might even make the Gu�nness Book.

They're in the gate. Looks like the race is about to start.

- See you later. - All right. Nice to see you again.

Darling, you see the reactions l'm getting?

When are you gonna make an honest man of me?

The flag �s up. They're all �n l�ne, ready for the start.

They're o_.

lt's Par�s Red show�ng early speed, w�th Chocohol�c �n second.

B�lly's Hope �s th�rd.

And there goes Capta�n f�sbee mov�ng up on the outs�de.

- Go�ng �nto the clubhouse turn-- - Come on, Captain Fisbee!

--and Par�s Red are the early leaders by mo.

B�lly's Hope �s dead th�rd

w�th Emma's W�t r�ght alongs�de, �n fourth by mo lengths.

Chocohol�c follows �n f�fth.

Small V�rtue, Allegree,

stra�ght and away down the back stretch.

Capta�n f�sbee and Par�s Red

str�de for str�de on the lead by mo lengths.

That's Chocohol�c follow�ng �n th�rd, by a neck.

B�lly's Hope �s fourth. Now, Allegree.

- He ga�ns ground r�ght on the way-- - Seven.

--around the far turn.

Capta�n f�sbee draws o_ by mo lengths.

- Seven! - Par�s Red follows �n second

as Allegree beg�ns to ga�n ground strongly.

They're �n the stretch.

- It's Capta�n f�sbee-- - Seven.

Allegree �s up on the outs�de to take the lead and pull away.

- Looks like it's number one in the lead. - Yeah, he's a beauty too, isn't he?

l don't think they're gonna catch him.

Seven !

Par�s Red, th�rd and Chocohol�c, fourth.

- But �t's Allegree down �n front. - Seven.

Allegree by a length and a half.

ln the seventh race, number one, Allegree, won f�rst.

Number seven, Capta�n f�sbee second, number four--

Well, that looks like a vey promising young horse.

What's the matter, Fallon?

Oh, nothing.

Except, next time l get some advice from a handsome stranger,

l'm going to take it.

Aren't you coming to dinner with us?

No, thanks. l'm gonna go over some sketches there.

l'll iust order something from room service.

- Are you sure? - l'm sure.

You two do not need a chaperone and l need to work.

So leave me alone, okay?

All right. See you in the morning.

- l told you two-- - Hello.

- Hi. - You look surprised.

Shouldn't l be?

You didn't take my tip.

So l placed a bet for you.

A thousand dollars at 6-to-1 .

And these are your winnings.

- l can't take that. - What can l do with it, throw it away?

Look. Who are you? How did you find me and get up here?

The security in this hotel is vey--

- As first class as a hotel, yes? - Yes.

To answer your questions,

l've many friends at the track who gave me your name.

And l'm pleased that you like the hotel,

since l own it.

And, by the way, my name is Peter De Vilbis.

Peter De Vilbis.

The infamous playboy?

That's a terrible thing to say

about a man who works as much as l do,

in 1 4 countries.

l didn't order this. l didn't order any of this.

The management did.

To celebrate your winnings.

And our meeting.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

Now.

Thank you for a vey special evening.

And good night.

lt will be a good night,

for the two of us.

- What l meant was-- - Can l say it for you?

l want you.

And you want me.

lt's unforgivable.

What is?

That anyone could be so beautiful when she wakes up.

How did you know Allegree was going to win?

You're changing the subject.

l wanna know.

lt's my own horse.

And l flew it here in my iet to race in the States.

Your jet, your horse, your hotel.

Do you own eveything?

l own many things.

Wait just a minute.

Are you impressed?

You remind me of another man l know.

Someone l've adored ever since l was a little girl.

Then he's much too old for you.

He's my father.

Well, that sort of competition l can take.

Well, Fallon knows we're leaving for Denver right after lunch.

When l spoke to her on the phone, she said she was coming down.

- l would imagine it'll be iust a matter-- - Oh, here she comes.

- Hi. - Hello, darling.

- Hi. - Thank you.

- What can we get you? - l'm not having anything. Thank you.

l had a huge breakfast in my room.

Well, l'm sure that we can dig up something for you on the plane.

We can't have you skipping meals, young lady.

Daddy, l'm not coming back with you and Kystle.

l have some unfinished business here.

Well, you sound vey happy about it.

l guess l am.

You finally found somebody?

Well, it's a little early to tell, but l think maybe l have.

So l'll see you both vey soon. l have an appointment.

- Bye. - Bye.

Well, she hasn't looked like this in a long time, that glow.

And over an architect's plans?

Well, whatever it is, it sure agrees with her.

Well, now, it's just the two of us.

Thank you.

l don't know which is the prettier.

Who is it?

Everett.

Hury this up, Everett.

l'm meeting a fascinating girl.

Maybe you should skip the girl, Peter, and come with me.

- Why? - l just got a telegram from Italy.

Your friend wants the 6 million you owe him.

And he wants it now.

Tell him to wait. He'll be paid.

Look, those boys don't wait.

You've got to do something fast.

l'm your lanyer, l don't wanna be your undertaker.

l told you, l'm meeting a fascinating girl

whose father has millions.

So how does that help you?

l had her last night.

The money may take a few days longer.

A cruise. That's a vey good idea, Mr. Colby.

Well, Kirby's been having a rough time of it emotionally.

Her father's death, l know. l read about it.

So tragic.

And l thought l'd like to surprise her with a trip.

Have her get away from eveything completely.

Well, her records here are excellent.

She's in her fifth month

and eveything's coming along just fine, so--

Excuse me, doctor, but l think you have the wrong records.

Kirby's only three months pregnant.

Mr. Colby, these are the correct records.

Mrs. Colby was three months pregnant when she first came to me.

l wanna talk to you upstairs.

Now.

Jeff, what is it?

l wasn't brooding. l promised you Iast night that l wouldn't.

Aren't you gonna say anything to me?

_e55 .

What is the matter?

l wanna know what game you're playing.

What are you talking about?

l wanna know how a girl l love and trust could lie to me.

Mary me, knowing she's pregnant, three months pregnant.

- You did know, didn't you? - l--

You knew and you planned to go on living with the lie, right?

Ending how? How, Kirby?

By pretending your full-term baby was premature?
