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

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_.

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?

l didn't know l was pregnant
when we got married.

l never would have gone through
with it if l had known.

l love you too much for that.

- As much as you love the other guy?
- l don't love him.

- Oh, l see, you iust slept with him.
- _e55.

- Just like an ordinay tramp.
- Jeff, don't. l was raped!

Raped?

Yes.

Who raped you?

Who raped you?

Adam.

Oh, my God.
You're carying Adam's baby?
