[Fallon] Previously on Dynasty:
That is no way to talk to your new boss. He offered me the COO position.
[Fallon] With Jeff's backing, I'll be chief executive officer of Carrington Windbriar, your competition.
Matthew coming by, was that a test?
[Blake] Someone spotted you two.
-[man] There was a malfunction. -[Steven] The issue is m*rder.
Are you gonna honor the dead or yourself?
Wife, mistress, widow? Or will you leave Claudia that scrap?
[officer] You have the right to remain silent.
-[Blake] He's accusing you of m*rder. -I had nothing to do with Matthew's death.
I can't tell him that my entire past is a lie.
-Who would do this to you? -Hey.
-[Sammy Jo] / got the money. -[Cristal] What'd you do?
-Who do you think set up the robbery? -It's missing.
If what's on that phone gets out... it will ruin the Carrington name.

Woo-hoo!
You're off your game, Steven.
A m*rder charge will do that to you.
This is supposed to cheer you up.
The only thing my brother should be accused of is his poor taste in men.
-You should screw one of Dad's lawyers. -They're screwing us with their fees.
Well, if they can get you off. Innuendo unintended.
Without an alibi to prove 1 didn't k*ll Matthew, the FBI are saying we need to provide a suspect.
I'm not gonna let them throw someone under the bus.
But why not? Daddy would.
As juvenile as it sounds, I wish Mom were here.
Why? The only thing she's good for is the birthday card her secretary writes.
-She spelled your name wrong. -Lots of people think it's P-H.
-l just wish I could ask her advice. -Hey, the best thing Mom ever taught us is what we learned when she left.
You can only rely on yourself... and me.
♪ Some kind of wonderful ♪
Timing's a bit obvious, don't you think?
Getting out of Dodge the day after the house was robbed?
Don't forget to pack the silver.
Thanks for the bags, Anders.
Where are you going?
Away.
-Done with the Carringtons so soon? -I'm just about done with you.
I'm not over the fact that you staged a robbery in my home.
It'll be fine.
My mom's got her money, and you can get a less tacky ring, something that doesn't belong in a gumball machine.
Right now, Blake is meeting with Stansfield.
If the cops find out it was your friends, that you were involved, that I'm lying...
-Add it to the list. -This is different.
You pick and choose your lies like you do your men.
Okay, enough. All I've done is jump from one crisis to the next.
Matthew, a m*rder investigation, now my nephew's felony.
It's no way to start a marriage.
-So, you're running away? -I'm going on my honeymoon.
Wow.
Why pack anything at all?
Yeah, put that away. I don't need to see how Blake's sausage is made.
Fine, go. This whole thing will blow over before you get back.
For your sake, I hope so.
And Anders is sniffing around, so you need to lay low.
I always do.
If the diamond was registered, -we have hope of tracing it. -Forget about the ring.
That's what insurance is for. I need that phone.
If anybody finds out I had it or what's on it, -the FBI will be all over me. -They're busy investigating your son.
-Who thinks I gave it to you. -You told him?
He knew something was going on.
And if he finds out I lied... I'm not the only one with something to lose here.
If anybody finds out I had that phone, they'll ask where I got it from.
If they find out you stole it--
The entire Robbery division is on this, working around the clock.
I don't care what you do. Find the people who took that phone before they realize what they have. It's not just for my sake or yours.
My family's, too.
-Can I help you? -Just looking for the bathroom.
-It's easy to get lost in this place. -Not easy enough.
Sorry I'm late. I thought I'd squeeze in a morning ride.
-Mm. Anyone I know? -[Fallon scoffs]
A warmblood Palomino named Butterscotch.
He was a gift for my 16th birthday from Daddy.
Speaking of, what happened to the dirt you were looking for?
-Nothing from the driver? -Don't worry about the lawsuit.
-Your dad's gonna drop it? -No. We are.
We don't need the Carrington name.
This company represents a new start and we need a new name. My name.
-So, what, like Fallon Co.? -Pfft. This isn't amateur hour.
"Morell Green Energy Corporation"?
My middle name. A reminder that I can only count on myself.
-What about the guy backing you? -You're backing me.
I'm the one who needs to prove my value, and I know how.
The city utility contract is up for renewal. It's worth a billion.
You wanna poach the city of Atlanta? Hasn't CA had that contract for 60 years?
Imagine the headline. "The Home of Carrington Atlantic
-Powered by Morell Corp." -That's ambitious.
You don't hit a home run without a big swing.
This would put us on the map.
It would show people clean energy could scale up.
-And screw over your dad. -[chuckles] It's a win-win.
His new COO can pick up the pieces.
-How exactly are we gonna pull this off? -Oh, not we. Me.
Pfeiffer runs point on these at the city council.
He and I got back to my CA days. He loves me.
-Enough to cross Blake Carrington? -Please. He'd leave his wife for me.
And his sidepiece. Not that I'm offering.
It won't take much to get him eating out of my hand.
[Blake] Hey, sweetheart. Anders said you wanted to see me?
What's going on?
With everything that happened, we missed Bora-Bora.
So, plan B, I've taken care of the arrangements and packed you a suitcase. I'm even handling the transportation.
-Where are we going? -It's a surprise.
But I can give you a preview of the itinerary.
Oh. [chuckles]
There's just so much going on here.
Got Steven's charges, and now the robbery.
-It's not the best time to go away. -After this weekend, we go back to work.
If we don't go now, we will be celebrating our first anniversary before we take our honeymoon.
I don't know.
You're not Steven's lawyer, you've told Stansfield about the robbery, and will only be a phone call away.
-You make a very firm point. -Mm-hm.
[Sammy Jo] So, when you robbed the place, did you find some kind of cell phone?
-I was wondering when you'd come for it. -You have it?
Yeah. It was in one of the drawers. I was just grabbing things, figured we'd look through it when it was time to sell.
-Wait, you didn't sell it, did you? -Not yet.
Relax, man. I'm gonna cut you in.
No, no, man, I don't need a cut. I need the phone.
They're looking for it and for you. They'll stop if they have it back.
I'll give you cash. It can't be worth more than a couple hundred.
You mean a couple hundred grand, right? I saw the video, man.
Since it is your aunt, I'll even give you a bit extra.
What video?
The one with your aunt and the dead guy.
I didn't realize they knew each other that well... or that she was so hot.
-A sex tape? You can't sell that. -Are you kidding me?
That's Kardashian-level filmmaking. We're gonna have a bidding w*r for it.
Unless the Carringtons wanna pay fair market value.
I got you a payday. You're getting greedy.
Man, that's easy to say when you're living in their mansion.
-Give me the phone. -Get my money by 5.
[Sammy Jo] There you are. Been trying Cristal. She's not picking up.
Whoa, slow down. What happened?
Remember when I told you I have some... sketchy friends?
"Stupid kids" stuff," I think you said.
Well, it was one of those stupid kids who bling-ringed your house.
-What? Did you know? -No.
I told them about the gala, but I thought he was coming for the food.
Oh. And the jewelry. Sounds like a great friend. I'll call Stansfield.
No, no, no. Listen. It wasn't just jewelry.
There was a phone in your dad's room, Matthew's phone, -with video of him and my aunt. -He told me he gave that phone back.
We need to come up with 200,000, or my aunt's sex tape will be all over the Internet.
Cristal didn't do anything, and she's gonna get hurt.
[woman on recording] You have reached the cell phone of Blake Carrington.
-I don't even know where my dad is. -Well... what would he do?
[Blake] The hunting cabin?
I can't believe you chose this place.
Of all the Carrington properties, this seemed the most low-key.
-I'm surprised you didn't figure it out. -Oh. I've always come in by helicopter.
Well, just so you know, we won't be k*lling any animals on this trip.
I thought it'd be nice to get out of the city, just you and me and these trees.
And not one of them a cell tower.
If you're good, I might let you get on the Wi-Fi.
There is no Wi-Fi. My grandfather built this to get away from it all.
-We never put in Internet. -Even better. More time for us.
No wonder people choose the private sector.
-[woman] Fallon? -Oh. Thank God. There's no receptionist.
Kori Rucks. I work with Councilman Pfeiffer.
You wouldn't happen to have a real cup of coffee, would you?
Oh, that's a little too real.
Sorry, I don't work for Chris. I'm on the council, District Ten.
You're here to discuss the utility contracts?
Yes, I know Pfeiffer is in charge of that.
Actually, I'm taking over. So, if you're here to talk energy, let's talk.
[Kori chuckles]
-Anders. Join me for a time trial. -That would require sweat.
[chuckles]
Come on, man. Blake is out of town for the weekend.
You could lose a button or two. Live a little.
As you know, Mister Carrington's very upset about this robbery.
I could imagine. There's a pretty nasty bump on his head.
Finding out who's responsible is a high priority for him and for me.
If you saw anything, anything that you thought might be a bit amiss...
Like I told the cops, I wasn't watching.
I imagine you had your head in other matters... like Miss Carrington?
I take it she didn't see much either.
-You'll have to ask Miss Carrington. -Very well.
But if you should think of something or hear anything, let me know.
I don't have to remind you, this incident doesn't reflect well
-on those of us employed here. -What does that mean?
It's just that we all have a stake in putting this to bed, especially those of us with families that depend on our salaries.
Anything specific I should be listening out for?
Yes, the personal things, Mrs. Carrington's ring, some watches and a phone are of particular value to Mr. Carrington.
All right, I'll keep my ear to the ground.
And your mouth off Fallon.
Morell Corp represents the next generation of energy, and Atlanta has the chance to become a national model for a green city.
We plan to take clean power, spread it, take it national and then beyond.
-So, Atlanta's just the first step? -Exactly.
Hmm.
I wish you the best of luck with your new company, but Atlanta is not a means to an end.
This is my home, my city, and now my responsibility.
Not some pawn in the Carrington family feud.
I understand the connotations with the Carrington name.
-Morell Corp is a different company. Whatever you call it, you're still you, and you haven't changed since high school.
You went to Penley. Oh, my God. [chuckles]
Of course. Kori, you look so different. Did you change your hair?
Come on, Fallon.
You can't expect me to buy this "new year, new me" bit. Can you?
Maybe you can. You seem to have the whole world bowing at your feet.
I'm sure you'll be fine without Atlanta.
See you at the ten-year reunion.
-I didn't know who to call. -You did the right thing.
[Steven] This guy is a friend of Sam's.
I don't know if you can call that a friend, but he used Sam to get into the house.
And he has the phone with this video on it?
He's trying to extort my father, but Dad is MIA and we don't have time.
-How much does this guy want? -Two hundred thousand.
What if I get the phone back and he's copied the video?
Right. Why settle for one payday if you can have two?
And, uh, the nephew?
Sam didn't have anything to do with this.
He's tied up with some bad people.
The best sh*t at stopping this is putting cuffs on both of them.
Arresting Blake Carrington's new nephew would only invite questions.
Questions you don't want, since you stole the phone first from evidence.
Look, I just want all this to be over.
I'll go in and buy the phone, you come in and get this guy.
Silver spoon's first sting. Your dad would be proud.
Let's just call this what it is.
This is you cleaning up your own corruption.
You tampered with a m*rder investigation. You should've been figuring out who did it so I don't go to prison for a crime I didn't commit.
-What exactly do you want me to do? -Do your job.
Find out who really k*lled Matthew. Make it right.
-[Jeff] How could you not remember Kori? -Well, I do now.
Didn't she have some Hello Kitty obsession?
You still don't. I should've been your wingman after all.
Glad you find this funny, but I'm not losing this contract over hurt feelings.
You really think it's just about high school?
-Obviously. -Why don't you let me try?
Maybe I can smooth things over.
Remind Kori that you're not the whole company.
-Kori Rucks? -Seriously? You, too?
Fallon had a meeting with her, didn't know who she was.
-I might've asked her to get me a coffee. -[both] What?
I thought she was an assistant. I'm fixing it.
No, actually, I am. I'm gonna call her.
Good luck with that. Kori does not roll over easily.
Present tense? You're still friends?
Yeah, we went to MJQ last weekend. I invited you.
-Do you listen to anything I say? -Don't take it personally.
Monica, what if you invited her out and I just happened to be there? She might be a bit more receptive?
Well, I'm the one who knows energy.
Yeah, let me butter her up, okay? Set the stage, then you come in.
And do the heavy lifting. Not that your part isn't heavy.
I gotta say, I do not mind not having an office yet.
We swimming or what?
The Carringtons came through.
Two hundred thousand. It's all here. Where's the phone?
How do I know that's it? Show me the contacts or something.
Okay, turn it off.
-You swear this is the only copy? -Even I have a code, okay? Deal's a deal.
-Don't spend it all in one place. -Back at you.
I'm sure Carrington's errand boy pays well.
You're the one with 200 grand now. I'm Robin Hood.
-Everything okay? -Got it.
-And the video? -He swears it's the only copy.
Do you believe him?
Look, screwed up as it sounds, he's not a bad dude.
Why are you freaking out? 1 got it. We're good.
Yeah, he can go in.
Yeah, I'll get you the phone after you get my 200 grand back.
-Who was that? -Stansfield.
What?
You didn't say anything about cops.
Don't worry. I told him you didn't have anything to do with it.
Hey, if anything, you were the one that solved it. Let's get out of here.
[officer] Go, go, go!
So, I know I said no dead animals, but since this one's already here...
I thought I'd slip into something a little more comfortable.
Blake?
-[Blake sighs] Damn it. -What are you doing?
I missed a call from the office. My phone won't even ring out here.
Can't call him back. I can't get voicemail.
So, I'm standing here naked, wrapped in an animal that probably d*ed before I was born, -and you're calling the office? -If you had told me we'd be off the grid, I would've planned things differently.
I thought this surprise would be romantic.
These are the first few days we've had just to be husband and wife and it might be the last ones we have for a while.
I just wanna enjoy them. Don't you?
-Of course I do. -Good.
If I remember correctly, there's a waterfall...
-lgasps] -...a couple of miles from here.
It's not a hot tub, but you can't b*at it for stargazing.
-[squeals] -Up for an adventure?
-Always. I'll go change. -No. One minute.
Can we try for two?
Why didn't you tell me you had gone to Stansfield?
What kind of a friend robs your aunt, then tries to blackmail her?
-I'm not saying what he did was okay. -It was illegal.
Have you ever broken a law?
-I've never extorted anyone. -Because you haven't had to.
You don't know what it is like to worry about making rent or what you'll do if your car breaks down.
Are you suggesting we should've let him get away with it?
Taken him at his word that he's gonna stick to the deal?
-He's a criminal. -Why didn't you tell me your plan?
I didn't wanna make you lie. I was trying to protect you.
And who does that sound like?
I thought you were the different one, but now I see the family resemblance, Mr. Carrington.
-You got two seconds for me? -[sighs] I'm already late. Wait.
What does this dress say? Bold, demure, loud enough to command a room yet still whisper top of the class at Wharton?
-Is that...? -Matthew's phone.
-You took it? -No, Sam's friend did. I's a long story.
Dad told me he'd given this to Stansfield.
-Hmm. So, how'd you get it back? -Sam and 200 grand.
Remember the photo of Cristal and Matthew?
[chuckles] Yeah.
Well, there's a video on here of them doing way more than sitting.
-Have you seen it? -l can't unsee it.
I don't even wanna know why Dad had it.
[laughs]
Oh, well, at least it's grainy.
Though she almost looks hot upside down.
[Steven] I got the phone back, and I led Stansfield to the robber.
-Wait, you helped Stansfield? -I helped everyone.
-Dad, Cristal, Sammy Jo. -And what do you get?
-What do you mean? -You're on the hook for a m*rder.
Negotiate. You give Stansfield the phone and he gives you the alternate suspect.
As long as you're complicit in police corruption, -you might as well work it. -l can't do that.
If you hand over the phone, where does that leave you?
Back to square one. No closer to figuring out who k*lled Matthew
-and the FBI thinks I did it. -Yeah.
Especially if you're the last one holding on to this.
It is a bad time for Dad to be out of town.
What did I just tell you? We don't need anybody but us.
Use what you've got. The sooner this is over, the sooner you can get back to saving the world and I can get back to taking it over.

[cell phone chiming]
[cell phone chiming]
I am blowing up.
Cristal Carrington's sex tape? Is that real?
Oh, it's real.
How do you know?
Educated guess. Excuse me. I have to make some calls.
Glad this is behind us.
Now it's best that doesn't make it back to police headquarters.
Shouldn't make it back to my father, either.
This is between us.
What are you doing?
You have your money back. Your friend is safe.
But I'm not.
I wanna make sure there's no misunderstanding here.
By giving you this, I'm giving you a second chance.
An opportunity to make things right. Not just for me.
The Blaisdel family deserves closure.
Matthew deserves justice. That's your responsibility now.
You want me to find the real k*ller, but I already told you it's the FBI's case now.
I'm telling you I don't care.
Do your job. Close the case.
Understood.
[cell phone chiming]
Have you seen this?
More than seen it. 1 did not expect the landing strip.
-Don't be a perv. -Speaking of pervs, -did you see Robby Reid? -On his way out.
Said he met your boyfriend. I was thinking you're not dating because you're a workaholic, but you're just multitasking by screwing your driver.
No. I just told him that so he'd get off my back. What? It worked.
[cell phone continues chiming]
-[chuckles] Sorry, it just won't stop. -And what about Kori and Jeff?
Aren't you supposed to close that deal?
I know, I know. I'll be right back.
-I know Fallon has her blind spots. -I hadn't noticed.
But I'm telling you, if there's one thing she does know, it's energy.
-It's in her blood. -Of course. She's a Carrington.
But that's the problem.
The city of Atlanta is not gonna be a pawn in their family feud.
This contract will determine whether people can keep their lights on.
I don't trust Fallon Carrington to think of them when it counts.
-You trust me? -You went into business with her.
That means it's my business, too. I'll do right by you and by this city.
If you'll at least hear her out, I promise I'll hold her to her word.
1 will. For you.
[Kori laughs]
I think my sister invited her out tonight.
I'll get us another bottle.
Yo. Where's Fallon? Why are you drinking?
I thought you were her ride?
-Not anymore. -Tell your girlfriend I'm looking for her.
-She's not my girlfriend. -Looked like she was at the gala.
Talk to Fallon, okay?
I've never gotten a straight answer out of her. Maybe you will.
Hey, wait up.
Join us for a drink.
[Culhane] Okay.
Kori, this is Michael Culhane.
He's a friend.
[Kori] Mm.
A single friend?
I believe he is.
-Can you admit we're lost? -I will admit I should've paid for streetlamps here ‘cause I can't see a thing.
Maybe I should look at the map.
Good luck.
So, the sun set that way, which means... we've been going north this whole time.
I told you we were going in the wrong direction.
We're probably over here by this ranger station.
Maybe they can help us. I'd be willing to ask directions.
Do you seriously expect me to believe that you accidentally led us straight to the ranger station? Are you that desperate
-to check your messages? -Told you it wasn't a good time.
-You insisted. -You admit it?
You did bring us here on purpose. God!
I can't believe I thought we could have one whole day together without the world pressing in.
[cell phone chiming]
Oh.
There it is.
You came all this way for service. You might as well have a look.
Jesus.
[Blake] Oh, hell.
[cell phone chimes]
Oh, my God. Did they find the robber?
Oh, my God. What is this?
It looks like it's you and Matthew... all over the Internet.
[Cristal on screen] Are you filming me?
[chuckles]
[moaning]
[giggles]
Stop, let me film you.
[reporters clamoring]
I want my lawyers here now.
Waiting in the study, sir. Perhaps we suggest they move in.
-Sorry, what? Your friend did that to me? -Ow.
How could you let this happen, Sam?
I don't know. I guess he had a failsafe or he lied and he had already sold it.
Sorry. Steven didn't tell me he was gonna get the cops involved.
You told Steven about this? About the robbery?
I had to. I didn't have the money.
I might've fudged some of the details.
I told Steven I didn't know they were gonna rob the house.
-That's how you didn't get arrested. -To protect you, too.
If 1 told them 1 did it, and about my mom, he'd ask what you knew, and if he told Blake...
I-- 1 thought I fixed it, Cristal. I'm sorry.
-What are they saying about me? -Cristal.
Just rip the Band-Aid off, Sam.
"Million-dollar tramp."
"Naked ambition."
And, uh, this one's kind of clever.
"Private relations."
Like, they crossed out "public."
It's charming.
I'm Atlanta's biggest slut.
I can't speak to that... but looks like Fallon can.
[reporter] Fallon, can you comment on the sex tape that surfaced?
I know as much as you do. I can't comment on somebody else's proclivities.
Those are questions for the movie star.
That bitch.
[phone ringing]
-Willy? -[Willy]/ wasn't sure you'd pick up.
I've tried everyone. Stansfield hung up on me.
-The FBI won't call me back. -What's going on?
-Seen this tape of Matthew and Cristal? -Unfortunately. Has Claudia?
She's seen it. I just got back from her house. She's a mess.
She may not be able to fight for herself, but I'm gonna fight for her.
This tape, it's motive.
Blake didn't want his wife's old boyfriend hanging around.
Wait. You still think my dad k*lled Matthew?
It wasn't you. You were Matthew's friend.
Maybe the only good one left in that house.
Where are you right now? I'm coming to meet you.
[sighs] As I've told everyone else, this is between my father and his surprisingly flexible new bride. It's a private family matter.
About as private as a circus.
Hey.
-What happened to you last night? -I came to find you and you were gone.
I had every newspaper in Atlanta calling me about Cristal's p*rn.
I texted you.
That's why you bailed on our plan, to give interviews about your stepmother's sex tape?
You took your eye off the prize to take a swipe at Cristal.
-You really can't help yourself. -She's not just my stepmother.
She's also the new COO of our competition of this new deal we're trying to strike.
That's right, we. And I was there for you, Fallon.
I put myself on the line for a deal you had to have, but you made me look like an idiot because you're only out for yourself.
Must be genetic.
And speaking of our main competition, congratulations.
Carrington Atlantic lost the contract. Kori just called me.
-We got it? -No, Southern Power did.
The Morell Corp presentation wasn't concrete enough for the city council.
That was all you, remember?
I'm guessing you didn't play team sports as a kid, but we're supposed to be in this together.
You're no longer the only one who pays for your mistakes.
Willy?
It's Steven.
[cell phone ringing]
[cell phone ringing through door]
Hello?
-[Cristal] I just can't believe it. -[Stansfield] Toxicology will confirm.
His death looks like a su1c1de.
He had sleeping pills next to him.
And there was a note claiming responsibility for the Windbriar expl*si*n.
That doesn't make sense. Willy called me and I didn't see a note.
One of my detectives discovered it, and it seems Willy was angry at Carrington Atlantic for twice denying him a promotion.
-He k*lled Matthew? -Apparently, he didn't intend to.
He was trying to sabotage the operation and damage Carrington Atlantic equipment.
His friend Matthew was collateral damage, it seems, and then seeing his name dragged through the mud these last 24 hours, it was too much.
-Does the FBI know about this? -They've already been alerted.
They're confirming his story, but it's just a formality.
Once the toxicology comes out, charges against you will be dropped.
-The Horse Whisperer rides again. -[Blake] What about Claudia?
-Has anyone spoken to her? -We're sending someone over.
-Oh, my God. -It's not how we expected this to end, but at least she'll finally have some closure.
[Steven] Hey.
-I don't understand. -It's been a rough day, hasn't it?
While I'm here, I believe you have something for me.
[Blake] Hey.
-You okay? -No.
I was there. I saw Willy, and I didn't see a note.
Then Stansfield's guy just happens to find one that lets us all off the hook?
Shouldn't I be more of a suspect? I found him.
-What are you trying to say? -Just... it...
It seems off.
A week ago, Willy was accusing you of k*lling Matthew.
-Why would he suddenly admit it now? -Guilt is an unpredictable animal.
Or Stansfield is.
You're shaken. We've been through the wringer. But Stansfield is not a bad guy.
He's only helped this family.
[Fallon] Whoa.
Did someone go a little hard at the club?
-No, I'm just b*at. -Ugh. Me, too.
If I have to take one more call to comment on this video...
It's not even news anymore. Even I'm over it.
-Are you? -Sorry?
You took that phone. You leaked the video.
I didn't take the phone.
[scoffs] You're like a human bulldozer. You'll crush anyone.
Cristal's a big girl. She doesn't need you defending her.
Maybe someone should defend the world from Fallon.
The way you treat her, the way you treated Kori.
Kori?
You just don't see other people.
Kori hates me because I was a bitch in school.
When your mom leaves in sophomore year, it messes with your head.
If 1 didn't defend myself, who would've?
That is heartbreaking.
But it was almost ten years ago. Maybe you should stop blaming your mom and try to figure out why you're so screwed up now.
[door opens]
Hey.
Sorry I didn't get a chance to congratulate you.
I was coming to apologize to you.
What you said yesterday about my privilege, you were right.
I should've been honest. I was trying to protect you.
-But I just ended up hurting more people. -Don't feel too bad.
You were right about that guy. I shouldn't have trusted him.
But the thing is, I should've been arrested, too.
What? Why?
Because I set it up.
-I told him to steal my aunt's ring. -Are you kidding me?
I know.
-My mom needed money fast. I panicked. -You're the reason this happened?
It got out of control. I needed you to help. I didn't think you would
-if I told you the truth. -You're right, I wouldn't.
I know you hate being lied to. I wanted to come clean.
You think that fixes this? 1 did this to help you.
-You're telling me it's all your fault? -I know. I'm sorry.
I don't accept that.
I get now why your aunt didn't want you here.
The press isn't going away. I think I need to make a statement.
I'm not gonna make you do that. Let the FBI tell them about Willy.
It's not about Willy. I didn't get a say
-in this thing getting out. -I should've told you about the phone.
I should've told you about the robbery.
After the fact, Sam told me that it was his friend and that he was involved. I should've told you, but he's a good kid, Blake. He made a mistake.
Any other day, I would probably be upset... but I made a mistake, too.
Remember the day we took our engagement photos and Matthew came to the house?
-Of course. -I told you we hadn't argued.
He threatened me. He said you wouldn't marry me
-if you knew the kind of man I was. -Blackmail you with what?
Steven. You know that before Steven ran off to dig wells in Haiti that he was with the company.
He didn't want the job. I pushed him up the ladder.
He missed a faulty pressure valve and he signed off on the inspection.
-My God. -When they put it online, the pressure shook the rig, a man fell off and snapped his neck.
-How come I never heard about this? -Matthew was the field engineer.
I asked him to write it off as a structural defect.
He covered it up.
Matthew claimed to have a record of it on his phone.
I knew if Steven found out he had something to do with the man's death, he would never stop blaming himself.
[reporter speaking indistinctly on TV]
[Blake] / was trying to protect him.
And I ended up sacrificing you. I'm so sorry, Cristal.
I understand. I was just trying to protect Sam.
That's what family does.
No matter how hard or how mich it hurts, we stand by them.
But you and I...
I don't want us to have secrets.
I wanna trust you, and I want you to trust me.
Can we start again, clean slate?
No more lies.
No more lies.
