Kirby.

Kirby.

Kirby, wait.

- For God's sakes, give me a chance. - Let go of me.

l don't want you to follow me. l don't want you anywhere near me.

A full-page ad in evey major newspaper in the county.

Not a sales pitch, but information.

l like it. It's good. l'm proud of you.

Blake, what was discussed at the Los Angeles conference

should be shared with the public.

Now, anyone who drives a car

knows that the oil companies are making money.

What about the risks that you take?

The cost for new oil leases, development, expansion.

The public should know about that.

l have a feeling that when you are through

they will know about it.

We have an hour before we arrive in Denver.

l could start the campaign right now.

No, not right now.

l mean, we're 20,OOO feet above the clouds.

We're alone.

Now, the last thing on my mind right now is public relations.

Well, l don't need a full-page ad to know what's on your mind.

- Oh, how l've missed that. - What?

That little vein right there on your neck

that throbs when you get excited.

You think it does that on purpose?

l'm gonna have to do something about that.

Don't you dare.

l'm vey fond of that.

l'll be at the airport in an hour, Eric.

As soon as l arrive, be ready to take off.

No delays, all right?

Should l take a photograph

or are you planning on standing like that indefinitely?

Actually, l'm always on the move.

Really? Then you can iust move right on out the door

and l'll have my secretay explain how you got in.

Oh, l waited for him to leave his desk.

l felt that this should be private.

Why? We have nothing to say to each other.

On the contray.

You have manage to say no evey time we've met.

You said no to tar sands, you said no to dinner.

Well, you seem to thrive on rejection.

Well, we all thrive on something, don't we?

With your eyes,

and your incredible body,

you would absolutely thrive in New Mexico.

New Mexico?

l have a ranch there.

l know a narrow dirt road

that winds itself like a snake through Navajo county.

Through orange maizes.

To a spot where the turquoise seems to float to the surface.

You should be draped in strands and strands of it.

Do l hear a no to that?

Turquoise is a semiprecious stone, Mr. Dexter.

Again, you underestimate me.

Well, next to you, any stone would be semiprecious.

l really think you ought to go.

Excuse me, Mrs. Colby.

What is it, Pery?

lt's Tery.

Yes, of course, Tery.

Jack Hobson's here with the data you wanted for your trip.

Shall he come in?

No, l'll see him in his office.

- Oh, and, Tery. - Yes?

You're new here.

lf you want to continue working for me, l suggest that you knock

or announce yourself before you come into this office.

Right, Mrs. Colby.

l appreciate your tenacity, Mr. Dexter,

but l assure you that l have no interest whatsoever in tar sands, dinner

or whatever it is that you want to drape me in.

Now, was that all you had in mind?

Oh, l'll ty to think of something else by the time you get back

and after l fix myself a drink.

A drink?

Mrs. Colby should only be a few minutes, Mr. Dexter.

Aren't you going to wait?

Oh, l'll be waiting,

but at the right time

and the right place.

Did you forget something?

- Where do you think you're going? - Let go.

- Where to, Adam? - That isn't fair.

What is fair?

How many times have you run away from me

and thrown Fallon in my face?

How many times have l had to soothe your wounded pride?

And all the time there was Adam.

Not like you think.

Tell me something.

Did he rape you or is this just a sick little game?

lf you're so damn fascinated with him, why did you mary me?

Because you asked me.

- l loved you. - Enough to believe me?

Adam raped me.

My God, you don't think l wanted it?

lf he did, why did you insist on going to that conference?

Why did you end up at that motel room alone with him?

l didn't want to be there.

He tricked me. Don't you remember? l was terrified.

l called you. l asked you to come and get me.

Well, you could have locked the door to keep him out. l asked you not to go.

Did l see something you wanted me to see? That it?

You saw nothing.

l loved you.

But there was always Fallon.

l'd watch you pass by in the hallway.

l'd watch you come and go from the house

unaware that l was even alive.

l was alone all the time.

Except there was Adam. He was there, wasn't he?

Yes, and that's why l accepted his invitation to dinner.

l needed someone to be with.

To treat me like a woman.

l swear, l never gave myself to him.

He took.

And then he tried to take over and over again.

And there was no one l could turn to.

My God, there still isn't.

l'm going to see Adam.

Have the car brought around immediately.

l'm on my way down.

Let me guess,

fur-trimmed cape,

gloves.

Can't be Palm Springs,

so it's Switzerland or the North Pole. Do l need a tux?

You won't need anything, Mark. You're not going.

Wait a minute, l'm your bodyguard.

Oh, well l don't need you o!n this trip.

Why don't you iust consider this a paid holiday.

Off to do something dirty, Alexis?

Just put the luggage in the elevator, will you?

l'm late.

When l want you to know about my affairs, Mark, you'll know.

And when l don't want you to know, you won't.

Oh, won't l?

Adam Carrington, where can l find him?

Last l saw, he was still at the top with the contractor.

Adam.

Still climbing to the top.

Where you're concerned l've had to lower myself.

You should have been here yesterday.

Where you're standing right now there was nothing but a 20-foot drop.

You raped her.

Did l?

You damn near destroyed her.

She's a strong girl.

She has a mind of her own.

You forced yourself on her, the way you forced yourself on all of us.

Unlike the rest of you,

Kirby welcomed me with open arms.

lf that was a blow for honour, you're too late.

She didn't have any to begin with.

And this

is for Kirby.

She's too good to be your second choice.

ls this what it was like?

Was she scared for her life?

No.

No! No!

No!

No!

Kirby's child is a girl and l hope to God

she never has to meet scum like her father.

l didn't know.

Oh, my God.

_ _e55

l didn't know.

l didn't know it was my baby.

l didn't know.

That's it, crawl.

That's how you'll get through the rest of your life.

Now, that was a super workout, Mr. De Vilbis.

He worked five-eighths of a mile in 58 and three.

Good, Charlie. Vey good.

He's beautiful.

l'm gonna take him a couple of turns.

Okay.

Just like his father.

Beg your pardon?

Poor Dex.

Just under 2 million in purses?

Just over.

And still commanding the largest stud fee in South America.

Runs in the family.

Theirs.

Fallon, l thought you said you've never heard of Allegree.

l lied.

lt's not uncommon when strange men come on to me.

A stranger, perhaps.

But strange?

l like what most men like.

And what is that?

Power, strength, speed and of course, beauty.

ln which animal?

All animals.

Especially, young, lithe creatures from Denver, Colorado.

Do you flatter all the women you meet?

Or are you as demanding in your choices

aS yOU afe with your Thoroughbreds?

l'm interested only

in thoroughbreds.

lnteresting.

Your profile is vey aristocratic.

Well, my mother is an Austrian baroness.

l knew it.

And l bet your father is a count.

Spanish or Portuguese?

Portuguese.

But not a count.

You know, l went to school in Europe. l loved it.

Why on earth would you leave it for Brazil?

Opportunity.

- Hi, darling. - Hi.

Did you get a promotion already?

No. No promotion.

Mother had to go to Canada. l'm filling in at a meeting this afternoon.

Oh, no.

Wanted to steal you away from this glass prison.

l have a momentous decision to make and l wanted you to help me make it.

Well, you know, l do charge a consulting fee. What's the decision?

lt's either pink or blue or maybe a shimmering red.

Shimmering. The colour doesn't matter.

Now, what are we talking about?

lt's the Carousel Ball. You know, we're sitting at Alexis' table.

l don't want her to think l'm one of the waitresses.

You are going to look terrific no matter what you wear.

Well, your mother's tastes are a little more demanding than yours.

Claudia, Mother's vey fond of you. She's only tying to help.

No, she's not.

She's tying to fix up my image.

Your image is fine.

Listen, instead of fighting her,

why don't you take advantage of her interest.

When it come to clothes, she does know what she's talking about.

Yeah, it's true.

l mean, the best-dressed list two years in a row.

lt's tough competition.

l didn't realise you two were competing against one another.

You're right, darling. l mean, after all

l am married to Denver's most attractive executive,

so l may as well dress like l deserve to be.

ln or out of clothes, the role suits you just fine.

Well, you're gonna be sory you didn't come with me.

Because this little revamp is gonna cost you a fortune.

Bennett, l want you to go straight to my office

and give this to my secretay.

Blake.

What a coincidence.

And, Kystle, you're doing so well.

Do you have an extra copy of your press release?

Which one? There have been several.

The one that appeared

in the Financial section of this morning's paper.

l must say, it was the best fiction l've read in months.

l'd love you to autograph a copy for me.

- Goodbye, Alexis. - Just a minute, Blake.

l'm so glad you enjoyed it, Alexis.

l had you in mind when l wrote it.

Tell me, how long did it take you to come up with the fantasy

that Denver-Carrington's gromh outstrips Colbyco?

Did you and Blake come up with that when you had nothing better to do?

lt's all fact and you know it.

And now so does eveyone else.

Have a nice flight.

Are you taking a plane?

Oh, Kystle, what a wicked sense of humour.

l'm almost beginning to find you interesting.

lt's a shame that Fallon decided to stay in Los Angeles.

The real entertainment is right here in Denver.

l'm here to pick up some papers.

Ruled or unruled.

We have all types of papers, all types of rules.

You mind?

l've never minded in my life.

Which is one of the reasons l am where l am today.

Aren't you gonna at least ask where it is l am?

l couldn't care less, Mark.

You should because we have a lot in common.

Like that piranha we both worked for, sonny boy.

The name is Steven, and if you don't like working

for my mother, then get the hell out of here.

Before l'm nothing but a heap of bones

at the bottom of her tank.

Let me tell you something.

My mother has accomplished more, Iost more

and fought back harder than anyone l know.

And l'm sick and tired of her being attacked by the likes of you.

What you think about her on your time is your business,

but she's my mother and l love her.

So don't you ever, ever talk to me about her like that again.

Steven.

l'm sory.

Too much Scotch, l guess.

Forget what l said, huh?

Mark can get out of line when he's been drinking.

He definitely had too much to drink.

And l tried to excuse him for it, but there's more, Kystle.

He hates Alexis.

lt goes back a long time and it's building.

lf it weren't for Joseph's letter, and your defending him

l'd swear he tried to start that fire to kill Mother.

Steven,

l'm not defending him.

But when he rescued us, there wasn't a moment's hesitation

before he dragged Alexis from that fire. Now that's a fact, not a defence.

Then what is it?

What is he holding onto that makes him hate her so much?

Well, l can't answer that.

Alexis is a vey complex woman

who seems to inspire passion in people.

Now, you either love her or you hate her.

And she seems to enioy it either way.

- Good evening. - Mrs. Colby.

Yes, l'm here to see Angus Stewart.

You're expected.

Thank you.

Well, you must've had strong headwinds.

l've been twiddling my thumbs for an hour waiting for you.

Well, you can iust go on twiddling them for another hour

as far as l'm concerned because l'm here to see Angus Stewart.

Yes, he did say you'd called

and he was vey sory he couldn't wait for you.

Couldn't wait for me?

Where is he?

Angus retired

about an hour ago.

That's impossible. l've flown all the way up here to see him.

To make a deal for Northwest Tar Sand leases.

Well, deal.

With you?

That's right. l own them.

l'll be damned if l'll deal with you.

Sure you will and we both know it.

You didn't fly all the way up here to turn around on your pride.

Now, you are more than just interested.

You are as hungy as l am.

There's more than enough here to satisfy both our appetites.

Now, iust to show there's no hard feelings,

if you still want in, as the new owner,

l'm willing to alter my last offer of fifty-fifty to sixty-forty.

lnterested?

Sixty-forty?

You really mean that?

Of course.

My 60, your 40.

l'll never take a lesser percentage.

Unless we make a deal now, in another five minutes

the offer goes to seventy-thirty.

lf l were you, l would take advantage of the sale price.

No, l never buy anything on sale, Mr. Dexter.

However, l am intrigued.

lt's a deal.

l'm staying at the Wellington overnight.

l'll be here at the crack of dawn.

Have the papers drawn up and ready for me to sign, Mr. Dexter.

Otherwise, l'll walk right out of this door.

_e55 .

What happened?

l went for a walk,

but evey time l turn a corner l met a brick wall.

Sory, lame joke.

No. No jokes. What happened?

ln a way it isn't.

Whichever way l turn, there it is.

l can't get around it and it's too high to climb.

Well, take it from one who's been there.

You can always get around it.

And where does it lead you?

l'm sick and tired of detours.

Kirby?

Good guess.

lt's no guess. l've seen that look before only last time it was Fallon.

Nick Toscanni just crossed my mind.

You need to talk it through, Jeff.

Last time, you didn't.

But whatever it is about you and Kirby,

you need to talk about it.

Do you ever think about going back and being a kid again?

You had two choices in life.

What you wanted to do and what you ought to do.

Wanted usually won out.

lt's not so simple now.

You have to do what's best for you.

l don't know what's best for me.

l don't know what's best for anyone anymore.

Kirby.

We've gotta talk.

''Flight 1 59 to Chicago.

Air Nord Atlantique 236 Chicago-Paris.''

The number for Sentinel Airlines, please.

Thank you.

What time does Flight 1 59 take off, please?

Okay, thank you.

Saw the light on in your office.

l didn't know you were like me, working late.

Well, l am.

Oh, my God, Adam, what happened?

You reiected me. l threw myself off a smscraper.

Adam.

Tell me what's wrong, please.

Okay, look, you suggested going out to dinner and l said no.

But maybe...

Maybe we ought to go out and have a bite.

l have something else on my mind, Tracy.

Yeah. Whatever it is l'm sure it can wait.

Maybe it'd be a good idea for us to have a drink or two.

Look,

l know what you're tying to do and thank you.

But tonight is iust not my night to be Prince Charming, okay?

Okay, Adam.

- Good night. - Good night.

Sent�nel A�rl�nes, fl�ght--

- Flight 159? - Oh, l'm sory, it just left.

Oh, we do have another flight in 1 2 hours.

What happened to you?

We'll talk about that later, Iet's talk about now.

Did you miss your flight

or did you decide not to leave?

To where? It seems like my whole life,

l've been running from one place to another.

l never arrived anywhere.

Kirby, what happened to us wasn't your fault or mine.

- You don't have to run anymore. - It was my fault.

My father was right.

As soon as l started pretending to be something that l'm not,

l lost the person that l need most: me.

Well, it's not a question of you or me anymore.

There's another life involved here.

And no matter what we may want to do,

there's a responsibility to that child.

l have the responsibility, not you.

Did you think l was gonna let you run off like this now?

l'm your husband.

And that's not going to change.

Not until after that child is born.

A sense of duty?

l can't live like that anymore.

What do you want from me?

To face the truth.

We never really belong to each other.

Should've known that right from the beginning.

The first time you kissed me,

you closed your eyes and called me Fallon.

l was being poisoned.

l was sick, remember?

l know that, but that was our beginning.

Don't you see?

Right from the start, l came to you knowing

that you were vulnerable and hurt.

And l'd loved you for so long,

it didn't matter to me if your heart was still with Fallon.

The fact that you held me and said you loved me was enough.

But it isn't anymore.

l'm through running,

through pretending.

Sent�nel A�rl�nes, pag�ng Mr. Patr�ck Beatty.

Mr. Patr�ck Beatty, please use the wh�te courtesy phone.

The baby deserves a name.

There's nothing wrong with mine.

l'll stay in Denver just long enough to end

what l never should have begun: our life together.

l don't think l've had so much fun in a long, long time.

That movie was terrific.

Well, yes, it was.

l thought you would never stop laughing.

Yeah.

And the popcorn was good too.

Close your eyes.

Why? l don't want to. l wanna look at you. Do you mind?

Come on, close your eyes.

All right.

What do you hear?

Not a thing.

Neither do l.

lf l didn't know better,

l'd say we were alarmingly alone.

Well, since you're alarmingly beautiful this evening

maybe that's the way it should be.

l gave the staff the night off.

Oh, then there's no one to answer my calls for help.

Then why bother to call?

Do you know that you remind me of someone?

Really?

A surprisingly attractive chef that l once knew.

l can't remember where,

but l seem to remember that she specialised

in a certain regional cuisine.

Late at night, when all was still,

and iust the crack of an egg could be heard

through the dark, abandoned hallways.

l remember.

Region: Spanish.

- Eggs: omelette. - Place: kitchen.

Chef: dazzling.

And if l know you, Blake Carrington,

onions, mushrooms, tomatoes

are all keeping a lonely vigil on the kitchen counter.

And there's nothing lonelier than a lonely tomato.

l'll put this in your room and move my things down the hall.

Well, it's your room.

l can move.

Please, let's iust leave it the way it is, all right?

Kirby.

What the hell do you want?

We have to talk.

No, we don't.

Listen to me.

Please.

l didn't know.

l didn't know it was my baby.

l didn't know.

We have unfinished business.

Oh, no, we don't. It's finished.

l should have killed you when l had the chance. That was my mistake.

You may live here and you may work in the same office,

but as far as l'm concerned, you don't exist.

Well, you haven't lost your touch.

With omelettes?

l confess, that omelette was a trick to keep you here.

l confess,

l knew that.

Kystle, how many times have the two of us sat together,

not even speaking,

because we both knew so well what the other one was thinking?

l wonder if we know now.

Perhaps not. Maybe that's the way it should be.

A sense of mystey.

lsn't that what keeps romance alive?

You are a mystey to me.

l discover more about you evey day.

You always said you could look in my eyes

and know exactly what l was feeling.

Well, l'm looking a little deeper now than l used to.

And what do you see?

A woman changing.

A woman who shares evey day of my life.

My ioy and my pain, my frustrations, my challenges. Eveything.

She's my friend,

my partner

and my love.

Well, this new woman has a job to report to

- in the morning so-- - Kystle,

don't make me say goodbye to you again. Not tonight.

Stay with me.

Please.

Sory l'm late. l had to change.

Well, l see that you haven't bother to.

But l won't let that bother me.

Well.

Sealed with a kiss, partner.

No grudge?

Grudges.

Grudges are for children.

After all, we are consenting adults.

Anyway, with those flowers in my suite and that wonderful invitation to dinner,

what woman in her right mind wouldn't succumb

to such a gallant as you?

Could l have some champagne now?

You know, Dex,

l really admire you.

Not only for your business sense,

but your charm as well.

Oh, but charm does come easy

when there's a woman like you close by.

Well, thank you.

As far as business is concerned,

that l learned at my grandfather's knee.

Nice. Farnsworth Dexter, the mining giant.

Yeah, l knew you'd do your homework.

Uranium, l believe.

He's rather a legend in Wyoming.

And,

the legend continues.

As does yours.

l adore poached salmon. l hear it's wonderful here.

Only the best

to celebrate our joint venture.

l ordered a cold supper

just in case we choose to eat later.

After we've worked up an appetite?

Admirable foresight.

Would you hold this for me?

Where are you going?

Home.

Nobody takes me to the cleaners and to bed

in the same day, Mr. Dexter.

Good night.

To this night

and to us.

To this night

and to us.

l ordered these flowers in the hopes that you would stay with me tonight.

l set the candles in the hopes that you would stay with me.

l had this made

in the hopes that you'd mary me.

Will you?

Yes.

Yes, l'll mary you.

- Who is it? - Your new partner.

l have some important business to settle.

l never discuss business in the middle of the night, Mr. Dexter.

Come on, make an exception.

Look, l did take you to the cleaners on our deal yesterday.

And l did arrange to have supper in my suite last night.

To get you into bed.

But l'm backing off now.

You have a strange way of showing it.

l mean, l'm scratching the 60-40 deal l forced you to take.

l want ours to be a true partnership, Alexis.

Fifty-fifty.

Fair enough?

Yes, that's fair enough.

Why?

Because l don't take advantage of women.

Oh, you could have fooled me.

Men, yes.

But not les femmes.

Call me a romantic...

...in the Lord Byron...

...Gable,

and Dexter tradition.

You're so modest.

Do you want,

and do you need proof of that, Alexis?

Look, you pass on the finest racehorse in the world.

You're a fool, my friend.

Excuse me, l woke you, darling.

Who were you talking to?

A friend and a fool.

l offer him a fantastic chance to buy a half interest in Allegree.

For a million dollars.

He refuses.

Well, l'll put out word immediately today.

By tonight it will be consummated.

But that's by tonight.

Peter, don't put out the word yet.

l know someone who's a gambler and loves to take fliers on things.

And if you think l appreciate horses...

As l appreciate the most exciting woman.

The man l'm talking about taught me eveything l know about horses.

So why don't we fly back to Denver today

and l'll introduce you to him.

Can l guess?

Your incredible father.

Good guess.

Okay. You said, ''You wait.''

l waited.

Hey, where are you going?

l should get back to La Mirage.

Been gone all night.

You should not go back to La Mirage. You belong right here.

Are you sory that you're here?

No, no, no.

Then you stay right in this bed, you understand?

l need you standing beside me anyway in the next couple of hours.

When l make that vey special announcement

to the family at breakfast.

lt's so good to hold you again.

l've been vey lonely.

lt's been such an empty house without you.

Good morning, Mr. Carrington.

Gerard.

Just coffee. Thank you, Elizabeth.

Morning, eveybody.

- Good morning. - Morning.

- Morning. - It's good to see you.

lt's wonderful to be here, Jeff.

Oh, Gerard, Elizabeth, would you excuse us for a few minutes, please?

- Of course, sir. - Thank you.

Now for the happy business of the morning.

Kystle has agreed to re-mary me.

And soon.

Unless you've changed your mind coming down the stairs.

No, it's still on.

l'd appreciate vey much if you wouldn't say anything about this to anyone.

Except, of course, Fallon.

Because next week, perhaps at the Carousel Ball,

l'll spread the news.

The good news. Seems to have taken eveybody by surprise.

ls it that unexpected?

No, it's marvellous news, father.

Kystle, l'm vey happy for you.

Well, l think it's wonderful, Blake, Kystle.

So do l, both of you. l do.

lf you'll excuse me.

l've gotta be going too.

Congratulations.

And l have an early meeting at the office.

And l doubt that you two would object to being left alone.

Well, apparently, nothing succeeds in emptying the room

faster than good news.

No, of course we couldn't say anything then and there,

but to keep up this pretence until after the wedding, it's...

Well, it won't be that difficult.

We've hardly been a picture of the loving couple

for quite a while now.

Well, l'll move back into our room until we tell them about the divorce.

ls that all right with you? For appearance's sake?

Why not?

Jeff, l'm sory, l didn't mean to make you angy.

What l said last night about you and Fallon.

Forget it, Kirby. l have.

You're not talking to me.

Jeff's not talking to me.

What is going to happen with my child?

l'm carying it. It's no concern of yours.

No concern?

Kirby, do you hear yourself? You're talking about my baby.

That is something l want you to forget you ever found out.

Are you tying to tell me that l've got to go through the rest of my life

with Jeff pretending to be the father, is that it?

ls it?

My God, haven't you cost her enough?

Come on, let's get out of here.

Blake, l'll meet you at the car in a few minutes. l have to talk to Kirby.

About who's gonna wear what colour gown

to the Carousel Ball, is that it?

Well, it's women's talk.

Well, darling, ty to cheer her up, will you?

Obviously, pregnancy is not going too easy for her.

All right.

Bye.

Thank you, Martin.

They both know about the baby, don't they?

Yes.

Well, then let me help you.

Now, l don't know what l can do, but l'll talk to Blake.

Kystle, Blake mustn't know, he mustn't.

Why not? He loves you.

Ever since your father died, you've become another daughter to him.

l made you promise once you'd say nothing.

l'm going to hold you to that promise.

l want you to put this completely out of your mind.

How can l?

l don't know. l--

l don't wanna spoil one of the happiest days of your life.

Yours and Blake's.

This is my problem,

and l'm not going to have it ruin anything for two people l love.

And l'm to be your date.

l believe that's the word, yes.

To the party of parties next week,

Denver's night of nights, and at your father's table.

1 978.

What?

Oh, l may be the new kid on the block, but l read all about the Carousel Ball.

And the first one was in '78.

Benefit for the Children's Diabetes Foundation at Denver.

And the woman who is in charge of just about eveything

is Barbara Davis.

Mrs. Marvin Davis.

Then you'll accept?

l think l better, and fast.

Because the mood you're apparently in, you might just change your mind.

Adam, what's the matter?

ls it the other day, when you tried to come on to me

and l didn't topple over in high passion?

Am l being punished?

An invitation to a ball is punishment?

l don't know.

Maybe you intend to throw me into a champagne fountain

when we get there.

Adam, please realise this.

l think you are vey, vey attractive.

l didn't mean to insult you the other day.

You didn't insult me, Tracy.

Well, then what happened to the charmer l've been flirting with?

The charmer's lost his charm, that's it.

Let's even say he's not the same man.

No, there's more to it. What?

My life, it's changed.

My goals, my values, my purpose.

Go on.

Please.

Go on? l can't.

Because l don't really understand it fully myself.

But nothing in my life to this moment has been this important.

Nothing.

Can l get you anything else?

No, that'll be all. Thank you.

Tar-sand leases, owned by the Lex-Dex Corporation?

That's your name and mine.

Alexis and Dexter. And you'll note that you get top billing.

Of course, as they say in Hollywood.

No, as l say to you.

At 30,OOO feet in the air. Top billing Alexis.

And not iust in our company, but in my life.

Dex, listen to me.

Last night will always be a wonderful memoy,

but we're going home now to reality.

Alexis.

lf you're tying to pretend

that you don't want me as much as l want you,

we both know that you're the biggest liar in town.

Not to mention in the air.

No, Dex, no.

Look, l've seen this sort of thing too many times.

A romantic interlude in a strange place with a new man.

l want our little fling to end while it's still nice between us.

Nice. What kind of a word is that?

lt's perfect between us.

How many times in a man's life does he meet a woman like you,

who's beautiful and bright and exciting?

- But l-- - But nothing.

l give a damn about one thing.

You.

You don't take reiection vey easily, do you?

l don't take rejection, period.

l don't give up fortunes, or precious jewels,

or spectacular women.

You gotta be there. l don't give--

Hello, Steven.

Steven, l want you to meet Farnsworth Dexter.

- Hello, Steven. - How do you do?

Dex is my new partner,

and Steven is my younger son and my good right arm.

Well, Alexis also told me about your research on that tar-sands project.

That was sound evaluation, Steven.

Thanks.

Well, my undying gratitude for the lift back.

You're welcome.

- l'll see you in town, darling. - Okay.

- Bye. - Steven.

So, what do you think of him?

Your new partner who calls you ''darling''?

Well, Mother, there are all sorts of partnerships.

l sincerely hope this one works out.

l do too. l really do.

So you're that mysterious stranger who advised my daughter

to bet on that horse in Los Angeles.

No wonder you're such an expert tipster, Mr. De Vilbis.

- Peter, please. - Peter.

l mean, you should certainly know

iust what that horse is capable of doing,

considering the winning streak that he's been on.

Okay, if l may speak from one high roller to another,

Daddy, Peter intends to sell half interest in Allegree.

But l wouldn't let him until he gave you first crack at it.

Well, it's certainly a vey interesting idea.

But why would you want to sell even a half interest

in such an outstanding colt?

lt's a simple reason.

l intend to spend much more time in Denver from now on.

But l travel a lot. It's the nature of my life.

lt's my business.

l feel that Allegree is the only horse in my stable that needs another owner.

At least, a part owner. Someone who really takes care of him.

l must tell you, Peter, that l never buy anything without seeing it first.

Oh, that's not a problem.

l can arrange for Allegree to be flown in from Los Angeles early next week.

Fine. You can stable him out at my farm.

Your daughter has introduced me to her fabulous father.

Now l will introduce you to my fabulous animal.

And then you can decide.

Vey good.

Meanwhile, would you excuse me

if l borrowed my daughter for a moment?

l have some personal news l really must tell her.

See you in a minute.

- Bye. - Bye.

This personal news, it's good, l hope.

l think, l--

l just think you may be pleased.

Eveything's in order, Miss Grant.

And l wanna wish you well with your press conference.

Oh, thank you, Julia. It's my first, so keep your fingers crossed.

- Hello, Mrs. Colby. - Hi.

Kystle, l just heard the good news.

l'm so happy for you.

Something tells me you've been talking to your father.

How'd you guess?

lt's what l'd hoped for ever since you left the house.

Well, your support from the sidelines didn't hurt.

You never needed me.

You two never stopped loving each other. That's what did it.

You look really happy.

Well, you don't look so sad yourself.

You've had a certain sparkle in your eyes lately.

Oh, really?

l noticed it first the other day in Los Angeles.

California smog, maybe.

Come on, who is he?

Do l have to fly to the coast to meet him?

No, you're gonna meet him tonight at dinner.

La Mirage.

This one was too good to leave behind, so l brought him back with me.

Oh, l'm sory. Excuse me.

lt's quite all right.

Oh, you've met Peter.

Well, not formally, no.

Peter De Vilbis, this is Jeff Colby.

Colby?

We were related to each other by marriage.

Peter gave me a lift back from L.A. today in his jet.

Well, the least l can do to repay you is offer you my best suite in my hotel,

so shall we go and get you settled in?

Nice to meet you, Mr. Colby.

Same here.

All right, Tom, hold it.

Hello.

Hello, dear.

- Hi. - Hi.

lt's absolutely incredible.

And he's a winner too.

lf l were really my father's daughter l'd have bet on him in Los Angeles,

instead of that milk horse l picked.

Hi. Yeah.

Are you ready?

Let's go.

We'll see you at the Carousel Ball tonight.

Okay, Tom, thank you.

Oh, Blake, he's beautiful.

Oh, really? And l suppose you're gonna tell me

how you'd love to own a horse like that, huh?

Yeah, well, who wouldn't?

Well, l've iust bought a half interest in him,

and he's in your name, and he's your wedding present.

- What? - That's right.

And are you're gonna give me a little something in return?

- Hello, sweetheart. - Hi, Barbara.

- Thank you. - See you tonight.

- Blake. - Marvin, how are you?

- Delighted you're here. - Good to see you, Marvin.

lt's wonderful to be here, Marvin.

Thank you, Blake, for your most generous contribution

to the Children's Diabetes Foundation.

How can l ever thank you?

Well, a child is a precious gift, Barbara.

And all those kids are depending on us to find a cure.

We're glad to help out.

Thank you so much.

We're going to make vey good use of your charity.

Thank you.

- Hello. - Hi, Nancy.

l thought l'd find you here at the auction, Alexis.

Well, of course, that jewelley is ravishing.

You know, Nancy, l have an admission to make.

l would rather be looking at antique cars.

Well, come on and buy one.

Lad�es and gentlemen, the s�lent auct�on w�ll close

�n 1 5 m�nutes.

Please make your f�nal b�d.

Mr. President, how are you?

- Vey good. It's wonderful to see you. - Nice to see you.

- Kystle. - Ms. Ford, how are you?

- Blake, it's wonderful to see you. - Isn't this a magnificent ball?

We love it, that's why we come back evey year.

Yes, they did it again, the Davises. It's just as wonderful as ever.

- Well, we're glad to have you back. - Right.

- Nice to see you. - Bye-bye.

Let's see, then. Claudia.

Hi, darling.

- How are you? - Steven.

- Vey well. - Of course, of course.

- Hello, baby. - Hi, Mom.

How are you?

Okay, Claudia, this is Farnsworth Dexter,

my mother's new partner.

Mr. Dexter, my wife, Claudia.

- It's a pleasure, Mrs. Carrington. - How do you do, Mr. Dexter?

- Oh, he likes to be called Dex. - Okay.

- That's a vey pretty dress. - Thank you, Alexis.

lnteresting colour, it matches your eyes.

lt's off the rack, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Well, considering that it's store-bought,

l think it looks terrific on you.

But l really wish that you'd come to my designer with me, Claudia.

Why, Mother?

Well, Steven, l've already seen two or three dresses like that

just coming in, and if Claudia--

Mother, there could be a hundred women here wearing the same dress

and not one of them will look as beautiful in it as my wife.

Now, would you like to dance with me?

Oh, all right.

Excuse me, darling.

- Claudia? - Yes, thanks.

Blake, l think my dance with Kystle is in order?

You're the doctor.

lt's no secret you've got sensational taste in clothes, Mother,

but please stop tying to make Claudia over in your image.

Darling, l was only tying to help.

To help, yes.

Well, as far as l'm concerned, Claudia doesn't need any help.

l married her because l love her for who and what she is.

l know you mean well, Mother, but just stay out, okay?

You look so radiant tonight, in case anyone has neglected to tell you.

Well, thank you. l feel wonderful, and l guess it shows.

l have a hunch that something vey special

is going to happen in the near future.

Like?

A wedding.

You and Blake, right?

Well, he's going to make the announcement shortly.

Dr. Hayes, when we get back from our honeymoon,

could l come in to see you?

Well, of course, is something wrong?

Well, l hope it's going to be vey right.

After l lost my baby,

Dr. Miller warned me of the danger of having another child.

Kystle, l thought that was a closed subject.

Closed? How could l close a subiect as important to me as that?

- Claudia, good evening. - Oh, hi, Blake.

- Having a good time? - Lovely.

Good.

Dex, l'd like to talk to you.

Yes, Blake.

- Excuse me. - Sure.

Mother.

No, thank you, darling. l think l'll circulate.

All right.

- Heny, hello. - Hello, Alexis, good to see you.

lt's good to see you. l haven't seen you since Portofino.

lt was fun.

Excuse me, l beg--

- Neil. - Alexis.

Well, l'm glad to see you're still among us.

Are you?

l'm not really glad, you understand.

But it is the civilised thing to say, isn't it?

Tell me something.

ls it civilised to sneak into a hospital room

and ty and kill the patient?

l have no idea what you're talking about.

Oh, haven't you?

They said it was a nightmare, but l wonder.

Alexis, if anyone tried to murder you in the hospital, it wasn't me.

But who knows? Maybe next time.

Mark. Mark.

You remember ex-congressman McVane, don't you?

Yes, l do.

From the newspapers.

Here, in the muscular flesh,

is Mark Jennings, my personal bodyguard.

So l'd be a bit careful about next time, if l were you.

Jennings. Yes, l remember you from newspapers too.

You were the suspect that tried to murder that witch.

They dropped the charges,

but you had threatened her life, hadn't you?

Well, if at first you don't succeed, ty, ty again.

lt doesn't matter where l got my information,

l've got it and it's accurate.

You've gone into a partnership with Alexis on a tar-sands deal.

That's right. So what?

You're on my board.

You should be concerned about Denver-Carrington's best interest

and not Colbyco's.

Did you ever stop to think

how your company's interests might be better served

if you weren't so set against doing any kind of business with Colbyco?

And in place of Colbyco, read your--

- My ex-wife. - Correct.

But, Blake, l know what l'm talking about.

l have made half of my fortune in joint ventures,

and they weren't based on whether l loved or hated my partners.

Really? Well, l made my money as an independent,

and l can tell you that no deal is a good deal with that woman.

And if you go behind my back once more, just once,

l don't care if you are Sam Dexter's son.

l won't think twice about kicking you the hell off my board.

Kind of hard not to notice, huh, Mother?

lt's Kystle's new engagement ring.

Unusual design.

When's the wedding?

Blake and l haven't set a date yet,

but l wouldn't save space on your calendar, Alexis.

We're limiting it to family and friends.

l think Marvin has an announcement to make.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Carousel Ball.

Tonight, we have with us Blake Carrington and Kystle.

Well, l would never think of interrupting this magnificent ball

Kystle Grant has consented to become

Kystle Grant-Carrington once again.

l thought about hiring a plane to do some s_riting for me,

announcing that to the world,

because l've realised that all l really wanted

was to have my friends share this extraordinay news with me.

So l'm here to tell you that she's going to re-mary me,

and l've never been happier.

And l've never felt more blessed than l do at this vey moment.

Well, l'm happy for Kystle, if that's what she wants.

Well, of course it is.

Steven, don't you think this is time for you to make up with your father?

Claudia, Steven is his own man,

and l think he can make up his own mind about things.

l'm sory, Alexis,

but l think this is the perfect time for them to make up.

l don't really think that you should bother yourself

about Steven's relationship with that man.

That man is his father.

A fact of which l am painfully aware.

Mother, l would like to dance with my wife.

Come on, sweetheart.

l wonder if she intends to go on working

now that she's going to be married again.

Your own ambition never takes a holiday, does it, Tracy?

Adam, l've said it once and l'll say it again.

''Ambition'' is not a dirty word.

Besides, it's a vey valid question.

When a woman gets married,

isn't she thinking about what she wants out of the rest of her life?

Congratulations, Kystle.

To the lady who's always been my favourite stepmother.

Thank you, Steven. Thank you so much.

Blake.

Kystle.

l'm so happy for you both.

l guess that makes us all newlyweds, huh?

We're happy for you, Dad.

What do l say?

Welcome back to the family, son.

Sounds good to me.

Welcome back.

l--

Through all our problems and our troubles,

l've wanted to say something.

l'd like to say it to you now.

l love you, Steven.

You're obviously troubled about something, Adam.

l am, yes.

Over work.

You knew about this wedding, didn't you?

Are you wondering what's going to happen to you now?

l don't understand what you're tying to say.

Adam, l know Blake Carrington a great deal better than you do.

And he was at his lowest point

when he finally decided to accept you as his son,

to truly accept you into his house, into his company.

The man was totally alone.

Kystle had left him,

and he and Steven had been fighting in court.

But that's all changed now, Adam.

Kystle's come back, God help her.

He and Steven have buried the hatchet.

And...

And?

Have you ever thought about what would happen

if he found out about your drug taking?

Yes.

l flew up to Montana, l talked to Dr. Edwards.

He told me all about you.

About your drugs, about the illness.

About the illness that sometimes distorts your mind.

That's when l decided to forgive you.

Oh, my God.

Mother, that's why you iust gave up on the merger.

Yes.

Blake is a vey intolerant man, Adam.

l mean, if he stumbled across the truth,

l dread to think what he would do.

He would throw you out.

Now, l know what l'm saying hurts,

but l have to say it because it's the truth.

But you do realise that l love you.

That l'll always love you.

And l pray that if you ever feel alone too,

that you'll come back to me.

l'm your mother.

l would never turn against my son.

- Idiot. - l'm sory, sir, it was an accident.

- It happened because you're a fool. - l'm sory.

Sory for what? Go back and learn your work.

Come on now, it was just an accident.

lt's not the end of the world.

Mr. Colby, why don't you mind your own business?

l'll take care of mine.

Peter.

Hello, darling.

Why don't we sneak out of here and catch a sunrise somewhere?

l have a much better idea.

Why don't we fly up and meet it halfway?

Come.

- l'll be back in a minute. - Okay.

- Hi, Kirby. - Hi.

Steven.

l iust want you to know that l'm truly happy

that you're back in the family.

Thanks, Adam. It feels good.

l also want to apologise for not being in your corner

when Father and you had that unpleasantness over Danny.

- Forget it, Adam. - l can't.

There's no excuse, Steven,

except there were things l didn't appreciate then that l do now.

The feeling a father has for his child.

The terrible feelings he must go through

at the thought of being deprived of his own flesh and blood.

Where's the fellow with my car?

Please wait. l'll get it myself.

About this De Vilbis fellow...

What about him?

Well, how well do you know him?

Not as well as l intend to.

The airport express, beautiful lady.

Are you ready?

What are you thinking about right at this moment?

Oh, how l've sort of memorized evey minute of tonight.

lt's been wonderful, Blake.

Where are you two going?

Well, it's getting a little late for Kirby and l decided to take her home.

And again, congratulations to the both of you.

- Good night. - Good night.

l wish that our happiness was contagious,

but obviously it isn't, is it?

Peter, this is great. Let's go around again.

Oh, boy.

All right.

Do it again.

l want more.

Look out, baby, three-point landing.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

l can ask the same of a vey possessive man.

- You're drunk, you could've killed her. - Except l obviously did not.

Jeff, stop it. Jeff, stop it.

What are you doing?

She's not your wife anymore, Colby. l don't answer to you.

The hell you don't. She's the mother of my child. That's never gonna change.

Anybody who puts her in danger is going to answer to me

for the rest of my life.

''Denver-Carrington oil magnate Blake Carrington

will re-mary the former Kystle Grant Carrington tomorrow.

The wedding is to be a small intimate affair.

The couple will honeymoon in Rio de Janeiro,

escaping our winter on Copacabana beach.''

Mr. Farnsworth Dexter, please.

Have him call Alexis Colby the minute he returns.

We've got to get out that brochure

on the Carrington Center for Neurological Diseases.

At Denver Memorial, right.

l'm going to the printer's this afternoon to check the proofs.

You won't forget the release on our anti-pollution studies?

l won't forget. It will go out Friday morning as ordered.

Oh, there's so much, Tracy. l don't wanna forget anything.

Believe me, you haven't.

You've got the number of the hotel. If you need me for anything--

Kystle, you're going away on your honeymoon.

No business.

And that's an order from me.

Okay.

By the way, Kystle,

whenever Bill went away, he usually gave me the credit cards.

Well, you know, for gas, or in case l wanna pick up a tab

whenever l invite a reporter to do a piece on the company.

Sure.

Oh, yeah, and l might need the keys to the confidential files.

Well, l don't know.

We rarely use them.

You're right. Just thinking out loud.

l remember when Bill took off once on a trip

and we needed some information in a hury during that takeover mess.

Nobody could find Mr. Carrington.

lt was one giant headache.

But odds are nothing is going to happen.

Tracy.

Wait a minute.

- What if something does happen? - Thanks.

For the vote of confidence. l will guard them with my life.

Morning, Tracy.

Something wrong?

Hunger pangs, Mr. Carrington,

and whether l should give in to the urge for a cheese Danish

or skip the calories.

Well, the way you look,

l'd say live and have two cheese Danish.

Are you tying to make the boss Iook bad?

Good morning, darling.

Well, your desk looks like you've been here for hours.

l didn't know l'd hired a workaholic.

Now, l know that you don't have time to read the newspapers,

but they all say there's gonna be a wedding tomorrow

and that we are in it.

That's why l'm here early. To tie up all the loose ends

- so Tracy can follow through. - l'm sure she'll do just fine then.

Well, l know, but just in case.

You wouldn't want me thinking about the office on our honeymoon,

would you?

l have evey intention of distracting you.

l'm heading down to the gym.

At least one of us gets to work off the tension.

God knows there's been enough of it these past couple of weeks.

You all right?

Yeah, l'm just a little tired.

l think a lot tired.

Why don't you see the doctor?

l'm going to see Dr. Winfield in two weeks

for my regular appointment.

As for looking beat, what do you expect?

lt hit us both.

You look pretty tired too.

But l'm not carying a baby.

Kirby, why are you doing this to yourself?

There's no reason to rush into a divorce

until well after the baby is born.

The only reason l'm waiting at all

is so we don't spoil Blake and Kystle's wedding.

Being stubborn doesn't make you right.

l iust want to end this mockey of a marriage.

As soon as they go to Rio, l'm gonna see a lanyer.

Do what you want.

Blake, l love you. l adore you.

But if you do not stop throwing all your toys all over the floor,

l'm gonna get really, really cross.

Oh, you're so gorgeous.

You're so pretty.

Oh, Fallon.

Don't tell me that you dropped by just because you missed your mother.

l came by to take my son to his paediatrician.

lrene, would you get him ready, please?

We'll just be a minute, Mrs. Colby.

Oh, you've got to go now.

Bye-bye. l'll see you next week.

Goodbye, lovely.

You want a coffee, Fallon,

or would you like something a bit stronger?

Hi, sweetie.

Nothing, thanks.

l notice from the gossip columns

that you've been something of an item with this Peter De Vilbis.

l do hope you realise that he's nothing more than a playboy.

lf you mean he's got money and style, you're right.

Oh, money and style.

l iust wanna warn you, Fallon, advise you,

that l have seen this man on several occasions.

l've seen him in Barbados, at St. Moritz, in Monaco.

He's not for you, darling.

He's decadent.

He's burned out.

He's had too much of eveything.

Are you ready, Irene?

Fallon, listen to me, he's bad. He'll-- He'll hurt you.

lf this is more of your iet-set gossip, Mother, l'm not interested.

Peter De Vilbis may spread his life around six continents,

but he's vey hard-working and incredibly sensitive.

And evidently not too shabby in bed.

That's none of your damn business.

Sory, it just slipped out.

And don't get any ideas about protecting me like you did for Mark.

Because if you come within one mile of me and Peter,

l'll make you regret it.

That enemy list of yours grows longer evey day, Alexis.

Most mothers and daughters have rows, Mark.

Sometimes l think you really believe that bull you toss around.

This is disgustingly sweet. Make me a martini.

One of these days you're going to wake up

and there will be nobody Ieft to count on, except me.

And we both know l'm only in it for the money.

To your health.

What do you want?

You're gonna listen to me.

Get out of here.

Not until you hear what l have to say.

Kirby won't speak to me.

You pull your disappearing act evey time we run into each other

and l'm fed up.

Tough.

Well, that's it.

A curt dismissal from the high and mighty Jeff Colby.

- Call it whatever you like. - Look,

Kirby is gonna have my baby.

And l'm damned if l'm gonna stand on the sidelines

and watch you raise my child.

You live here.

You can see the kid from time to time.

When that baby is born, he's gonna know who his father is.

That's my right.

Your right?

You raped Kirby. You call that a right?

You lured her down to that motel on the pretext of a business trip,

came on like an animal.

ln your twisted mind,

did you think those screams for help were cries of passion?

l'm not going to let this go, Jeff.

You better.

l gotta get some fresh air.

l am leaving the city tomorrow.

l'm vey busy winding matters up today.

Now, what is this urgent matter concerning my grandson

you had to see me about?

My art studio.

What about your art studio?

When l married Cecil, l deeded the studio to little Blake.

lt becomes his when he's 18.

Well, that's more than 1 6 years from now.

l know. But it's such a waste to see the building go to no use at all.

And l thought, wouldn't it make an adorable playhouse?

A playhouse?

Yes.

Well, he's such an active child

and he really needs a place where he can run free.

So why don't you just tell your guards

that l'll be sending my workmen over today?

This, of course, has nothing to do with the fact

that Kystle and l are getting married tomorrow?

The answer, Alexis, is no. No workmen.

And if one of them sets foot on my property to get to that studio,

l'll have them thrown out by my security people.

- Yes. - Mr. De V�lb�s just called. It's all set.

You and Mrs. Carr�ngton w�ll have the br�dal su�te

at the Copacabana Playa.

Good. Thank you.

How clever of you, Blake.

Rio and its dazzling night life.

What a colourful place to go to for a honeymoon.

So different from Kofu.

You remember Kofu, don't you, Blake?

Where you and l honeymooned.

l've tried vey hard to forget it.

l was so young.

Just a child, really. What did l know?

Kystle's a lot more worldly than l was.

lt's a pity that when we were on Kofu,

l couldn't see the fa_ade,

your greed, your selfishness.

lf l had,

our marriage would have ended a hell of a lot sooner, believe me.

lf you had, we wouldn't have three children.

Three beautiful, clever children

that l gave you to cary on your Carrington dynasty.

And that's one thing Kystle will never, ever be able to give you.

Kystle may not be able to give me a child,

but she does fill a void in my life that you are incapable of understanding.

Now, if you don't mind, l would like you to get out of here.

- Claudia. - Oh, hi.

- Is Fallon in? - No, but l expect her in a few minutes.

ls there anything l can do?

- Yes, Ernesto Pinero, my architect. - Yeah.

He's arriving from Rio the end of next week.

Yeah, l know. l saw the reservation.

l'll make sure that he gets the best accommodations.

A suite, the Northern Exposure.

- Northern Exposure? - Yes.

The light is much better to work on sketches.

That's no problem, l'll just make a note of it.

Ernesto needs a drafting table.

Well, that's no problem. l'm sure l can rent one.

ls there anything else?

Fallon says she's vey lucm you came to work here.

Well, l'm glad that she asked me.

l like Fallon vey much.

You're vey beautiful, Claudia.

Thank you.

- Vey lovely. - Please don't.

- Vey attractive. - l have to work.

Why are you getting so upset?

l was only paying you a compliment.

A pass is more like it and l intend to tell her.

l will deny it.

Which one of us do you think she will believe?

Oh, hi.

You look beautiful.

By the way, Claudia has a message for you.

l left you a note. l have to go.

You really do look beautiful.

Oh, Blake. Aspen was such fun.

The sleigh ride, dinner.

- Getting away for a little while. - Yes.

And now back to harsh reality.

My bachelor party.

Oh, l'm sure they've got that all planned.

Yes, it'll be quite a party, if the last one was any indication.

What, a huge cake, with a sey girl inside?

One girl?

Oh, no, no. When that thing popped open,

it was half the chorus line of the Folies Berg�re,

waving sparklers and doing the cancan.

You're putting me on.

Maybe just a little.

Oh, Kystle.

My world is opening up again.

Hasn't been easy without you.

Not for me, either.

Just so you know, as far as l'm concerned,

that marriage that we're going through tomorrow,

it's iust a simple reaffirmation of the three wonderful years

that we had together as man and wife.

Wish l didn't have to take you back to La Mirage

and leave you at the door again tonight.

Just one more night.

l'll see you in the morning.

Oh, no.

No, the second l arrive, l'm going straight to the guestroom.

Now, you can't fight tradition, Blake.

The groom does not get to see the bride

until she walks to the altar.

All right.

Then l'll have to give you this right now.

You know, the last time they got married,

Joseph did such a wonderful job.

Like you're doing this time, Mrs. Gunnerson.

lt's okay, we all miss him.

Jeanette, l'll ty that.

lt's excellent caviar.

Make sure we have two more of those.

Yes, Mrs. Colby.

By the way, is it true Peter Duchin flew in to play for the wedding?

Yes, it's true.

You know, this is all so incredible,

we could be easily lose you to the court of St. James.

One for the good guys.

Mr. Dexter still isn't back?

Well, l've been leaving messages since yesterday,

so will you make sure that he gets them as soon as he returns?

Problems with your new partner already, Mother?

Darling, no, of course not.

- How are you? - Hi.

- You want a cup of coffee? - No, thanks.

l know you can't stay long,

you're going to some sort of reception this afternoon.

Dad's wedding, yeah.

Oh, yes. How lovely.

l just wanted you to know

that l've arranged a little surprise for you for your birthday.

That's more than two weeks away.

l know, but l've never been good at holding in surprises.

So l wanted to tell you

that l'm giving you 1 ,OOO shares of Colbyco stock.

That's quite a bit, Mother.

Well, you're my son.

Feel free to tell your father about it this afternoon, if you like.

Which l couldn't have done if your little birthday surprise

hadn't iust popped out all of a sudden, could l?

Oh, Steven, you do know me rather well.

Speaking of your birthday,

l'm planning a small party in your honour at the St. Dennis Club

and l've invited some vey important people.

Mother, could we make that the night before or the night after?

Claudia has already set up a little party of her own.

She didn't invite me.

No slight intended, believe me, it's just a--

lt's kind of a triple celebration.

My birthday, Dad's and Kystle's homecoming.

l see.

And my patching things up with Dad the night at the Carousel Ball.

Well, never mind.

l didn't realise that Claudia had such a gift for diplomacy.

We'll iust have to postpone my party for a while.

Happy birthday in advance, darling.

Thank you.

- l'll see you soon. - Yes.

Claudia Carrington, please.

Hello, Claudia. It's Alexis.

l'm going to be passing by the hotel in a little while.

l'd love to see you to chat.

So l realise that you couldn't possibly have known about my plans.

And now we have this dreadful conflict.

Why didn't you iust ask Steven, Alexis,

before you dreamed all of this up?

l don't know.

Oh, you know me, l have these sudden inspirations.

Anyway, your party is so small and uncomplicated.

Couldn't you possibly change the date?

l realise that my party isn't as grand as the one that you have in mind,

but Blake and Kystle have already accepted,

and to me, it is important.

Oh, yes, the bringing together of father and son.

Look, Claudia, l know you think that you were doing the right thing,

but believe me, you have made a mistake

in pushing Steven back into the arms of a man who just simply isn't worth it.

l don't agree, Alexis.

That's your privilege.

And l don't push and l don't shove.

Steven's his own man, and he does what he wants to do.

Of course he does.

l also happened to think that Blake is a fabulous guy.

And Steven is a lot happier since they both made up with each other.

For now, maybe.

Steven loves his father, Alexis.

And he loves you too. Vey much.

That's the way it should be.

But if you can't accept an equal display of affection

from Steven to both of his parents, that's your problem.

Please, don't ty and make it mine.

That's vey honest.

And blunt.

l appreciate it.

But as far as my problem goes,

l have never had one in my life that l wasn't able to solve.

And l don't intend to, Claudia.

This is Mrs. Colby, l won't be back at the office for a while.

l've run into a problem. l have to find a way to solve it.

And l will.

l'm glad we could have this private moment, Blake.

You and Kystle belong together, always have.

Thank you, Andrew.

Speaking of Kystle,

has she gotten you to sign the premarital agreement yet?

What?

Well, it only seems fair.

Last time you were married, you made her sign one.

And now that she's half owner of Allegree,

and pretty well fixed in her own right, she ought to protect her interests.

You give my wife any ideas like that, l'm gonna fire you, Andrew.

Now, what about this fellow, De Vilbis?

He appears to check out. Eveything he owns seems to make a profit.

What do you mean, seems to?

Of course, l don't read Portuguese

and some of the other languages the man does business in,

but figures are pretty universal and they do look good.

What about his background?

He comes from a first-class European family.

He left the family business to go to Brazil

because he thought they all move too slow for him.

He's obviously a high roller.

Well, that's something that l've been called too.

lt's worked out all right for me, hasn't it?

You almost lost your shirt with those tankers

you tied up last year, remember?

Almost.

But l didn't.

l'll see you downstairs.

And someday, Blake, someday, l'm gonna have the last word with you.

Mrs. Harris, it's a pleasure to see you again.

Good to see you.

- Welcome, welcome. - Thank you vey much.

The Beaumonts don't have any champagne.

Anne.

The Beaumonts have no champagne.

Mr. Beaumont.

You look beautiful, Kystle.

Thank you, Fallon.

l saw the wedding gown, it's spectacular.

Thank you.

So you have something old, something new.

Here's something borrowed.

A bright, new shiny penny for your shoe.

Oh, thank you, Fallon.

Call me a big spender.

But promise me you'll wear it happily ever after.

l promise.

And l'll keep it vey shiny for when l loan it back to you.

Vey soon.

Me? Why would l need it so soon?

Oh, just a hunch.

And his name is Peter De Vilbis.

That's Portuguese for ''maybe, maybe not.''

But keep it polished just in case.

Well, Dad, l think you're ready to claim your bride.

No, no. Not without this.

You haven't been best man at a wedding before?

No, and to tell you the truth, l'm a little nervous.

You'll be all right, son. It'll be over soon.

All right.

Oh, Steven.

Yeah, Dad?

l want to tell you that...

l mean, l have to tell you...

Good God.

l run a maior corporation, l make a dozen speeches a year,

and l can't say a few important words to my own son.

You don't have to.

But l want to.

l-- l need to.

We've had so much wrong between us.

You must believe me when l tell you

that l never wanted to be anything less than

the best father that you could ever have.

l know.

And despite all the...

Well, despite eveything,

l never stop needing you.

And l don't mean biblically, either. Excuse me.

l want to talk to you.

Don't you ever let up? Can't you let it rest even today?

l want to settle this, once and for all.

lt isn't your concern.

Oh, yes, it is.

l want my child to know me as his father.

Oh, l don't believe you. You don't care about anyone but yourself.

That's not true.

l do have feelings, Kirby,

contray to what you may believe.

l know what it's like to grow up without a father, a real father.

And l can't deny our child that chance.

l'll be damned if l let our son or daughter

go through life with the name Colby.

Well, you don't have to wory about that.

The baby's not gonna be a Carrington or a Colby.

l'm giving it my name, Anders.

And Jeff's gonna buy that?

Yes. Yes.

You're hoping l'll say nothing now,

and then after the baby is born it'll be too late.

No, Adam.

Well, it's not going to work.

Don't forget, Kirby, l'm a lanyer, a damn good one.

And l'll fight you.

We'll take blood tests to prove that Jeff's not the father of this child.

No, you won't. You'll never get that satisfaction.

- Ty me. - l don't have to.

Because before you file your briefs or whatever you need

to prove your stupid point, Jeff and l will be getting a divorce.

A divorce?

Adam, please, don't tell anyone.

There's no reason to yet. It would only spoil the wedding.

We're going to tell Blake and Kystle as soon as they get back.

And you and l can tell them

that the minute your divorce from Jeff is final,

you're gonna mary me.

No. No.

We have to, Kirby.

lt's so important for the baby. And for me.

lt isn't going to happen.

Please, Kirby.

l won't mary you.

Won't you get it through your head? l don't love you.

Dearly beloved,

we are gathered together to join this man and this woman

in the bonds of matrimony.

This ceremony is a sacred act to express love and devotion

from now through eternity.

Marriage is a mutual and loving contract

between a man and a woman,

properly based on mutual regard and affection.

Now, if any of you know any reason

why these two should not be thus joined,

please speak now or forever hold your peace.

Well...

l was iust about to send out a search party.

Nine messages.

Makes me feel vey important.

You are important, darling.

Vey important to me.

Alexis, you're giving me a swelled head.

That's not good for me.

Maybe not.

But l'm sure this is.

Well...

What a wonderful way to start the afternoon.

Blake Carrington,

do you take Kystle to be your lawful wedded wife?

To love, honour and cherish her,

to comfort and protect her in sickness and in health,

and to be to her a faithful and loyal companion?

l do.

And do you, Kystle Grant, take Blake to be your lawful wedded husband?

To love, honour and cherish him,

to comfort him in sickness and in health,

and to be to him

a faithful, sincere helpmate and companion?

l do.

May l have the ring, please?

By this ring, symbol of unity from time immemorial,

here and now given,

and received,

as a token and a pledge, this union is sealed

and l now pronounce you man and wife.

Congratulations.

l'll have to remember to check my messages a little faster.

Well, as much as l've enjoyed this,

l have a funny feeling you iust might have something else on your mind.

Maybe l have.

So, what's the scheme?

Scheme?

l'm not sure that l like your choice of words, darling.

You know that l'm always totally on the up and up.

Well, nearly always.

- You want a drink? - Yes.

l have thought of a wonderful way for us to go into business together.

We're already in business together.

Oh, darling. That's Lex-Dex.

Tar sands don't mix with what l have in mind.

Which is?

Minerals in Brazil.

Brazil.

Alexis, you're talking a little fast for me.

With your mineral expertise and the Colbyco Oil reserves,

we can make a fortune.

l've booked us on a flight to Rio tomorrow--

Wait a minute. Now, this all sounds vey interesting,

but what's the hury?

Why do we have to fly tomorrow? Let's check this out first.

Why?

l mean there's always a market for minerals. Why wait?

Colbyco can do the checking while we do the dealing down in Rio.

Funny thing.

What?

l heard Blake Carrington is going down to Rio on his honeymoon.

Yes, l heard that too.

Are you all that hell-bent on screwing up their lives?

Dex, how could you possibly think such a thing?

Well, otherwise, it's just one big coincidence.

- Maybe it is. - l think l know you better than that.

Do you?

l can't deny that this chance happening could reap added dividends.

But let me remind you of something.

That l am the head of a vey important corporation

and it is my iob to see that that corporation

becomes as rich and as powerful as possible.

And that l intend to accomplish in Rio with or without you.

That's a nice performance, Alexis.

But as l've told you before, l'm not sharing you with anyone.

l think you still have a thing for Blake Carrington.

Blake Carrington.

- l loathe him. - Words, Alexis.

Those are words from the bottom of my heart. l despise that man.

And as far as sharing me with anyone goes,

exclusivity is something that only l decide.

Now, if you'll excuse me, l have a vey important appointment.

And l'm late for it.

Just one look at you My heart goes t�psy �n me

You and you alone Br�ng out the gypsy �n me

l love all

The many charms about you

Above all l want my arms about you

Let's go over and say hello to Peter.

- Best couple on the floor, Blake. - Thank you, Bob.

Peter, we're absolutely delighted

you were able to fly out for the wedding from New York.

Thanks, Blake. Well, the last time l saw you

was at Fallon's coming-out party and that was also quite a party.

The music's beautiful, Peter.

Just like the bride.

- We'll see you later. - See you later.

Took me a whole day to make these. They're from an old family recipe.

What are you doing?

l'm starving, aren't you?

Only for you. Come on.

We can't leave yet, not before the bride and groom.

- What's the matter? - Oh, nothing.

Just been a long day.

Well, you were feeling fine a few minutes ago.

l still am.

Come on.

Oh, look at this.

Oh, yes.

- Excuse me. - Careful.

Well, l'm supposed to make a wish, right?

l trust that l'm included in that wish.

Well, we'll talk about that in Rio.

Kirby?

lt's-- It's only a headache.

- Tell me what's bothering you. - l said, it's only a headache.

- Let me get you something. - No.

Why are you fighting me? If there's something wrong, let me help.

l just wanna get some rest.

Let me get you an aspirin.

No, please. Just leave me alone.

Please?

All right, all the single ladies to the front.

One, two...

Get your passport and pack your things.

- We've got a plane to catch. - What?

Alexis, the least you could do is give me some notice.

- l have plans. - Cancel them.

l told you when you took this iob that you'd be working 24 hours.

Bull.

Oh, Mark.

How delightfully erudite you always are.

One way or another, you're gonna pack your bags,

so you decide whether it's one suitcase or eveything you own.

Okay. Where are we going?

Oh, l forgot to tell you. Rio de Janeiro.

Better start practising your samba.

Oh, one more thing.

Call the switchboard and tell them they can contact me

at the Copacabana Playa.
