03x19 - Robin Hood Rescues

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Dynasty... What did we do?

You broke your vows. I broke mine.

Carrington Atlantic oil tankersare being held up in Moldavian shipping lanes.

Fuel up the jet. We're going to Moldavia.

Blake and Anders had sometrouble with the government.

They've been kidnapped.

Were you thinking someone unlocked itin the past five minutes?

Just get nervous energy when I'mtrapped in a foreign dungeon.

Plus, if we could just speak to the king, perhaps we can straighten this whole thing out.

Well, who do you think brought us here?

He may not wantto talk to me.

I thought Blake Carrington could close any deal.

There wouldn't be a deal to close if Laura Van Kirk hadn't screwed me over when she sold me back CA.

The king can hear you from his quarters.

Keep quiet. Well, if the king's awake, perhaps he'd like to have a little chat and we can explainwhat's going on.

He is aware of your situation.

But are you?

I'm the head of the security services.

I'm aware of everything.

The way I see it, this ends with him losing.

So, you know, you can choose to let us go right now and secure your future, or... wait and see what happens.

I'm very patient.

Ah.

Your funeral. I guess we can cross getting trapped in a Moldavian dungeon off our bucket list. Excuse my bluntness, sir, but are you out of your freaking mind?!

Do you understandthe gravity of the situation?

Yeah, I understand gravity like Einstein.

We were captured five hours ago, which means our pilot's alreadyon his way home, and he's notified the family.

It was Newtonwho discovered gravity, not Einstein.

So, what's our next move?

Your next move isto stay put.

No one can find outabout this.

Otherwise, we risk a leak to the press.

The last thing we want isto put Father in more danger.

I'm gonna go.

So this isn't about Blake's safety.

It's about you wanting to be a hero to get back on Daddy's good side?

And if no one can know, what is Liam doing here?

My family's done businessin Moldavia.

I've been there, and I've already reached out to a few contactsof my mother's.

And he got us the blueprints for the palace, where the politicalprisoners are taken.

Great. So why don't we send the blueprints to an actual international rescue group, instead of depending on a doctor and a...

Well... A writer?

Because the UN advises all international rescue groups not to go to Moldavia.

Private securitywon't even go there.

So what makes you think youcan do it? Look, look, we're not going there to fight.

We're simply going there to casually break in and... Unkidnap...

Two innocent people.

I think we should tell Fallon.

Yeah. Have you met Fallon?

In, like, three minutes, she's gonna have CIA, IDF, several small armies swarming Moldavia, basically starting World w*r III.

She does tendto go big.

But she'd also know what to do. I'm sure she's had to deal with this kind of thing before.

So have I, remember?

Kidnapped for 30 years?

Do you even care about getting Blake home, or you want more time off from your husband so you can go to church?

What is that supposed to mean?

It means you seemto like getting on your knees these daysand praying, don't you?

Enough.

VKI agreedto let us use the plane.Great.

What if Fallon finds out? Once we're all back safely, she'll understand.

And I hope you will, too.

To be honest, Joanne, I would wait as long as possible.

Why ruin a promising relationship by revealing you have a child so quickly?

If things work out, well, there'll be plenty of time for them to get acquainted.

Remember, patience is the virtue, not children.

You're a lifesaver, Aunt Alexis. WOMAN: Ms. Carrington!

I'm telling you, before I calledyou, I didn't know what to do with my life. I... Great question. Please call again.

We've just been served.

You can't just bargeinto my show like that.

It's my show, and I can, because apparently a woman named Joyce Doyle called into Ask Alexis, asking for a career change.

And you told her to get behind the wheel and drive without looking back. Great advice.

Oh, really? Because Joyce took that advice and she got into a car accident.

She broke her left leg and her right arm, and now she's suing me and you and the company for damages.

This is nonsense. Everybody knows that I meant the wheel of life, not the wheel of a...

A 1995 LeBaron?

Come on. She was askingfor it. If everyone took my advice literally, we would be in big trouble.

We arein big trouble! No, we're not. That's a frivolous charge.

Plus, there's this thingcalled freedom of speech.

It's an amendment thingie. The first amendment?

Oh, wow. Your expertise in the law is really not making me feel better right now.

Fine. Call a lawyer if you want.

They'll tell you the same.

At least my advice is free.

Free? Your advice is going to cost me millions of dollars in legal fees!

I got to say, I was worriedabout the show at first, but it has been nothing but positive for myself and the Atlantix.

This is just the beginning.

The network is already working on an offer for season two.

Oh. I thought I was going on tour.

W-Well, why don't you just put that in your new deal?

And whatever else you want. If they're excited about the show, we needto strike while the iron is hot.

We got to get whatwe can while we can.

To getting it all.

Amen.

Mm.

I'll be right back.

What's that text?

Let's just say success has a way of opening previously locked doors.

Why are you still dealing with them? You're like Kourtney when she kept going back to Scott, thinking this time it would work out.

I-I don't know who eitherof those people are, but this is just business.

Okay, well, while you're still doing business with them, you can find someone else to vent to, because I'm done listening to you complain about being betrayed.

And I'm done complaining.

I've got a new approach.

Since I already knowthey're using me, I'm flipping it, using them right back.

This time is gonna be different.

Classic Kourtney.

I'll see you at the hangar in an hour. Okay.

So, I was invitedto give the keynote speech at a 30 Under 30ATL Entrepreneurs banquet.

Well, congratulations. You should probably start working on that, 'cause I got to get to...

Yeah, but I thinkl'm turning it down.

I mean, what are theyhonoring me for?

Sneaking mistresses out of hotelrooms inside laundry carts?

Which, yes, is a skill, butl can't put that in my speech.

Yeah, but you have a ton to be proud of.

Do I? The whole thingwith Ramy screwed me up.

I mean, I realizedthat the only real difference between usis that I married rich.

Without that, I'd still bebreaking into people's houses through the air vent justto steal their leftovers and watch Desperado. Desperado?

Yeah, people in my neighborhood were all really bigDanny Trejo fans.

But who isn't? I mean, the guy has no fear.

And a machete. Look, I don't want to be rude, but I really have to... Yeah, you have to goto the hangar. I heard.

I'm workingon my listening skills.

So, where are you going, anyway?

Oh, just a... a business trip.

But you're a writer. What does that even mean?

Like... movie rights?

Okay. You're a terrible liar.

This is about yourbachelor party, isn't it?

Yes. Yes.

Totally. I'm planning a little bachelor party scout, but I'm keeping it a secret from everyone, because I-I want you guys to be surprised.Mm.

So if-if you don't mind, I, uh... I got to go.

Scout.

I'm sorry I dragged you into this.

Oh, you didn't drag meinto anything.

I volunteered.

We're in this together.

Hey, if you could snap your fingers right now and be somewhere else, where would it be?

You mean, apartfrom the manor?

Yeah, yeah, someplace bigger. I mean, I'd want to go to the moon, so what about you?

I'd rather not say.

Come on. We're stuck in a Moldavian prison.

We don't know if we're ever gonna get out.

If now is not the time to share your hopes and dreams, I don't know when is.

Well, if you insist. I've always wanted to open a beachfront restaurantin New Zealand.

Are you kidding me? Restaurants are terrible businesses.

They hardly ever turn a profit.

And you wonder whyl didn't want to tell you.

Are you readyto make a deal?

No, and the king has a proposition.

Clearly, the captains of the tankers will not negotiate with our people without your okay.

Those tankers are not leaving Moldavian waters.

So, call the captains, order them to turn around and return the oil.

You do that, and the king will let you both go.

Do we have a deal?

Well?

When he wakes up, tell him the king's offer only lasts until midnight.

After that, the king becomes a lot less... diplomatic.

Is it time to worry yet?

You have until midnightto accept the king's deal.

You know, as a rule, when a dictator offers you a way out, you take it.

The oil is the only leverage we have.

The moment that I agree to return it is the moment that I sign our death certificates, so ourtankers and their ships can sit in a stalemate for weeks for all I care.

Weeks?

I thought someone was coming to save us.

As long as we control the tankers, we're good.

This king is not gonna risk an international incident by sh**ting at them.

So we're not making a deal.

Well, I don't care how many lawyers you have to use.

Your job is to defend Fallon Unlimited.

Otherwise, what am I paying you$1,000 an hour for?

A thousand an hour?

Wow. I'm, uh, workingfor the wrong firm.

Hey. Evan.

Uh, trust me, you are better off not representing us right now.

Hmm. So what are you doing here?

Well, I'm still cc'don the company's legal e-mails, since I helped set it up, so I know about the lawsuit, and I have some thoughts.

Well, I can only offer you a penny for them, since you just heard what I'm paying my attorneys. I'm sure your firm will crush the case, which is why I'm worried.

Why? Fallon Unlimited is about empowerment, and what better way to send that message than getting your opponent to crash and burn?

I realize now that that was a bad metaphor because the woman actually crashed her car.

The message it sends is that your company will destroy anything in its way.

Hmm. This is a woman, not another corporation.

People root for the underdog.

And in simple PR terms, you may win in legal court, but...

But I'll losein the court of public opinion, and my company will be in trouble.

Right? So what do you suggest we do?

Settle.

I know this type of personfrom my years as a social worker and public defender.

Unlike you, she has nothing to lose.

Hmm. Okay.

Well, I'm not calling off my lawyers just yet, but I am gonna ask you to try and settle.

In the meantime, I would keep your eyes and ears on...

On Alexis. Yes, I know.

My lawyers, the insurance company, and Alexis's personal masseusehave already sounded that alarm.

When you're in college, you can get away with anything.

My advice: take your professor out for drinks, and then...

I would never say drug a child to calm him down, but in his morning cereal, you can mistakenly drop in some...

And the way to do it is just by placing his... on your...

And that's how he'll end up in...

Okay, I was going to say "prison." What is wrong with you?

I'm sorry. Itchy trigger finger.

I believe you have what it takes to be more than a reality star.

Correct.

I want to talk to you about producing your own talk show.

You mean on TV? Yep.

I have a group of financiers that can guarantee three years of syndicated programming.

The goal is to start local, expand national, and then go global.

Like Oprah.

Yeah. You know, if you're interested, we should get together againsoon and talk about the details.

I'll call you in a few days.

This has been very... informative, Mr. Cartof.

Call me Chase.

Hello. You've reached Father Collins.

I'm not available to answer your call now.

Have a blessed day.

Caleb, Blake's in trouble.

He's missing, and... I'm worriedsomething horrible has happened.

I know this is God's way of punishing me for what... what we did.

And...

I know you would probably tryto convince me that I was wrong.

But... I need to make things right.

I can't keep betraying the people I care about.

We always knew this wouldn't end well.

I just think we never knew when.

We can't see each other anymore, Caleb.

Well... please don't call me back.

As long as my contact meets us at the palace, I'm confident that he can sneak us in, find Blake and Anders, and-and get us out alive.

Are we really going through with this?

What choice do we have?

He's still my father, even though we're not speaking.

I'd never forgive myself if I didn't try.

Hey!

Did someone say "boys' trip"?

What the...? SAM: What?

I wasn't gonna let you scoutbachelor parties without me.

Especially now that I seeyou invited Adam.

Which is a little hurtful, I'm not gonna lie.

We're actually flying to Moldavia to try and rescue Blake and Anders from kidnappers without getting ourselves k*lled.

Okay. So, really, no one said "boys' trip"?

This is insane.

No, it's gonna be fine.No. I mean, I just spent a fortune on party dr*gs, thinking that I would get a semi-naked man to do tequila sh*ts off my belly button.

But nowl might get sh*t in my belly button.

Yes, that's definitely a possibility.

Can we just turn the plane around and... drop me off in the Caribbean or something?

Yeah, we landedabout ten minutes ago.

Why aren't you two freaking out about this?

Hmm? I mean, no offense, but neither one of you is particularly scary.

You don't have that Trejo thing going.

What? Don't ask.

No, I'm serious.

I mean, you went blind after a gas leak.

And you, you got amnesia after being hit by, basically, a flower. I went blind after an expl*si*n, not a gas leak.

Anyway, it's gonna work, because it's a well-thought-out plan.

The map's gonna lead us to the palace.

Liam's contact, that I assume will be armed, is gonna get uspast the guards, and then he'll bring us back to the plane.

Okay with you? Fine.

I'll wait here while youdo the rescuing.

That's probably for the best. Probably for the best.

Well, you could have at least pretended to think about it... now I don't know if I'm relieved or offended.

Be relieved, all right?

Take a benzo, relax, and just... wait for us to get back.

Luckily, I did bring a pharmacy with me.

I've got great news.

Ah.

Joyce Doyle dropped the suit?

Hmm. Okay, I've got goodnews.

She agreed to settle for $2 million.

Of course she did.

That isgood news.

You see? I should be paying you a thousand dollars an hour instead of those mouth breathersl'm paying now. So what's next?

I'll get the paperwork all set, and you can stop by my office tomorrow to sign.Wow. Sounds like a plan. We'll be there.

If you have time after, maybe we can go to lunch to celebrate.

My treat, since you'll have two million less dollars.

Yeah, I'm sure I could grab a quick bite.

Great. See you tomorrow.

Bye.

You're gonna keep shaking your head until I ask why, right? Well, there are two reasons.

That man likes you, and I'm not signing anything.

No, he doesn't. And what?

Yes, you are. We could be done with this.

Exactly. If I settle, I'm done.

It's admitting guilt.

And as a professional advice giver...

Not a thing... the moment I sign that document, my career is over.

Your career that lasted one week?

I've had juice cleanses that have lasted longer.

Fallon, you don't understand.

I do understand, okay?

You want something to do, and once we settle this, you and I can sit down and come upwith a new hobby for you, okay?

Maybe we can even release a line of Aunt Alexis lip-plumping kits.

Whatever it is, you're still signing tomorrow.

Sir, it must be getting close to midnight.

It's been 24 hours... someone should be here by now.

And yet there's no one.

The pilot can't have told the family.

I mean, he's probably dead by now.

It's really only a matter of time before we join him, unless you turn those tankers around and return the oil.

Anders, pleasecalm down.

Calm down? I wish you'd join me in panicking.

Adam?

Well, at least we knowthe pilot told the family.

You were supposed to be here

20 minutes ago, Mother... Evan already called twice.

I'm sorry, but I had to look at a map first.

Since when do you need a map to get here?

Is that why you never visited in 11 years, because you couldn't find a map?

I am going to Joyce Doyle's.

I'm not signing anything until I convince her to drop that lawsuit.

Are you out of your tiny, tiny mind?

Okay. Gotta go.

So you basically just walked right into their arms?

We didn't know they were expecting us.

We had a great plan A... we just didn't get to execute it.

My contact turned on us.

He worked for VKI for 20 years.

He was practically family. Well, your actually family told me I needed to come here to collect my tanker, so no surprise.

Look, we're all still alive... Thank God we're alive! Huh?

What a wonderful reunion you put together for us, Adam.

Maybe we should doThanksgiving here next year.

That is, unless we're dead!

So, when exactly does plan B kick in?

So, when you say "plan B"...

Well, you saidyou had a plan A, which means youmust have a plan B, otherwise the first planwould just be called

"the plan."

No one's coming, are they, Adam?

Because you didn't tell anyone.

I was trying to protect you. Clearly, the only thing I need protection from is you and your plan!

So, no one knows where we are, and there'sno one else coming?

Well, Sam... is actually still on the plane, so he could rescue us at any moment.

We could call that plan Z.

They'll be here any second now.

Just think good thoughts.

Wait, what was I supposed to be thinking?

Come on, Sam, let's get your act together.

Danny Trejo?

Yeah. Trejo in the flesh.

Well, kind of in the flesh.

Whoa!

Man... I've seen all of your movies.

Well, most of them.

There's, like, a thousand, but...

You were... you were kind of my hero growing up.

I wanted to be a badass just like you.

It didn't really happen.

What do you mean? Everybody's got a little badass in 'em.

You just got to know when to let it out.

So, when do you think I should do the... letting out?

Nowmight be a good time.

Yeah, that would make sense.

So what happens next?

Hey, I'm a hallucination, not a psychic.

Yeah, but I think I'm hereto help you save everyone.

But can we do that from the plane?

Because, uh, yeah, I've just been lacking in the confidence department lately.

Well, you'recertainly not gonna find your confidencesittin' here.

What I suggest you do isgrab those blueprints, break into thatEastern European palace, and... we'll worry about the rest later.

Joyce, I wantedto sit face-to-face.

Podcasts can beso impersonal.

I just thought if we gotto know each other better, I could explainhow I did nothing wrong and gave youthe right advice.Hmm.

Look what your right advice got me.

That's on you, dear.

Look, I don't wantto judge, especially since I have no idea what high school you nearly graduated from.

Are you really insulting me now?

No. I'm just trying to explain what a metaphor is.

Stop.Fallon.

You got here so quickly. You were speeding, weren't you?

Driving advice? Really? That's funny.

Hi. You must be Joyce.

Very nice to meet you.

Right. Um, I just came here to apologize for whatevermy mother has already said.

And to tell you what a lovelyhome you have. Wow.

Look at those party shoes. You know, from a distance, you can barely tell they're froma discount warehouse.

Too bad I can't wear them because of the boot because of the car accident your mother caused.

Right.

:I think we should go. What? No.

Joyce and I were having a splendid time until you burst in. No, we weren't.

Okay, time to go. Come with me. No, no, we... No.

I'm not coming... No, come with me. Don't fight me!

Fallon, no. Do not fight me.

Go.

You're gonna want to put some ice on that.

Stop giving advice!

All right. What's next?

Keep your eyes open.

Especially the ones in the back of your head.

Do I have those?

Hold on a second.

Why do you get to have amachete, and I get a flashlight?

Because I'm not real, dummy.

Mmm.

Focus! Now, like I said, anyone can kick ass.

We have to figure out what you're good at and use it to your advantage.

Hospitality?

Well, we can serve them to death.

We sure can.

Turns out there are benefits to being an accomplice to adultery.

See? Like I said.

It's all about confidence.

Although a w*apon helps.

But if you don't have one... improvise.

Bingo.

This is how I used to sneak into my neighbors' houses to watch your movies.

Danny?

Buddy?

Worst time ever to sober up.

Okay. Left or right? Left or right?

Calm down.

Like Danny said, it's all about confidence.

Okay.

Left.

Whatever we can do to expand the team's brand.

If the cameras can follow meto the Atlantix games, well, that's even better.

Okay, understood.

This has all been helpful for us to start drafting your contracts for season two.

Is that everything?

Not quite.

We need to incorporate more travel into next season.

I'll want a private jet on standby.

Also, some new cars would be nice.

And also some time off to pursue other projects.

It's all on the list.

Oh. You're serious about this?

I don't kid around when it comesto getting what I deserve.

Uh, why don't we just hearwhat our generous producers have to offer, and then maybe we can lower your demands just a little bit.

Lower?

This is just a starting point for me.

Let me know when you're ready to talk.

The king is out of patience.

He asked for something new to look at.

I suggested a human head.

No. Stop. Stop! Stop, stop! Hey! Hold on, now!

Aah!

Dad? Dad!

Dad, what's wrong?

Can you get some help, please?

Get some help!

You all right?

You got to take it easy.

Yeah, I'm fine. I was faking it. Are you even a doctor?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm good. I'm fine. Hey, hey, guys, not to be a downer, but someone's gonna come lookingfor this guy really soon.

All right. I may have a plan.

'Cause your last one worked out so well.

Okay, so, we take his keys...

No, we're not going anywhere.

I don't thinkwe can get through the door.

Whoa, he's getting up. Somebody hit him.

Watch out.

Whoa! Sam?

Damn.

I wish Danny would've seen that.

I saw it, Sam.

I think you're still a little high.

I'll see you later.

All right, come on. We got to get back up that vent.

You, Liam. First.

Okay. Yeah. Ready? One, two...

We are not going back in.

Why are you obsessed with this whole thing?

I'm not obsessed with anything.

Okay. So, you think showing up to a strange woman's apartment and kicking her to drop a lawsuit is normal?

I didn't plan to kick her.

It's just...

This is the first timein a long time that anyone caresabout what I have to say.

And it feels niceto be validated.

So... I just don't want that to end.

No, don't sit on the floor. Don't.

Aw, you did it. Okay.

Listen, I'm, uh, not sure you should base your self-worthon callers to a podcast, but okay.

One of the few nice things aboutbeing married to your father, if not the only, was that I wastaken seriously in society.

I know it probably sounds superficial to you, but I was respected and looked up to.

Yes, it does sound superficial.

:Okay.

You know what? Forget it.

You don't understand.

Which is ironic, because whenever you'regoing after something you want, you don't carewho gets in your way.

But I dothe same thing, well, you call me crazy.

Okay, I think we can both agree that you can be a little, you know, out there sometimes, but I guess I do lose sight of why you do the things you do.

We're more alike than you think, Fallon.

Mmm.

And kicking that womanwas an accident.

But look at that tacky doormat.

She kind of deserved it.

What?

Okay.

Who's next? Let's go.

How are we gonna get the last one up?

I told you I was coming to save you.

That's what I'm doing. Come on. Let's go.

Let's go.

Sam, close it up.

Close it up.

Good luck.

Hi.

Hi, Joyce. We just havea few more questions.

Talk to my lawyers. I don't think you want that.

I don't think you'd want that, either. You att*cked me.

Hmm.Yes. But when you wentto defend yourself, you, Joyce, used your right arm.

The armyou supposedly broke.

So? It was a reflex.

You can't blame me for defending myself.

Yes, that's true.

But you didn't seemto be showing much pain when you were wavingyour arm around.

Plus, there's the doormat.

And she doesn't mean the tacky message.

It just says "live wild and free." Well, it's filthy.

And weirdly, the fresh dirt on the mat matches the dirton your $12 high heel shoes.

And everybody knowsyou can't wear high heels with a broken leg.

It's the height of gauche.

You don't know that's from me. FALLON: Well, I'm pretty sure if I tookthose shoes and I tested them against the dirt markson that mat, it would be an exact match.

Look, before we settle on anything, I am goingto need to see some X-rays.

No? Okay.

Well, I guesswe can just see them when we countersue youfor damages.

Fine!

You're right.

I made it all up.

I just wanted an easy paycheck.

I will drop the lawsuit.

But you two? Insane.

Mmm. Ah, ah, ah.

And?

Your advice was good.

I can't.

I know. You're welcome.

Must be almost 30 minutes by now. Well, what if he's... you know. LIAM: Just give it a little more time.

They're not gonnakill Adam, all right?

If they want to get to me, they'll keep him alive.

I'll call in an extraction teamas soon as we get in the air. No! We are staying until it is no longer safe.

That could be approximately now.

There's a palace guard on his way to see us.

Let's go!

Are you insane? It's not a guard.

It's not a guard.

: Let's get the hell out of here, right?

Hey. Hey, come on. Let's go.

Did they counter yet?

They left.

And they pulled the plug on the show.

They didn't want to deal with you or your crazy demands.

This is how negotiations work. Trust me, they'll be back.

I'm pretty sure they won't be, given the fact that they said, "We won't be back."

Fine.

We'll do bigger things now.

It was alwayssupposed to be a platformto the next level.

And don't worry, Vanessa, I'll have my new producer, Chase, get something for you, too.

What about me?

I was counting on a second season.

We can't all be winners, Michael.

The fact is, I don't care about soccer.

And I don'treally know if there's a spot for you in our plans.

The world of reality can be tough.

Let's go, Vanessa.

Wow, okay.

Was that really necessary?

He's a weak link who'd be holding us back.

I've been guiding your career our entire lives.

I know what I'm doing.

We'll be landing in a few hours, Cristal.

Everybody is, everybody's safe.

I'd like to propose a toast.

Family, friends, rescuers.

Fallon not finding out about this.

And thanks to hiring some localarmed escorts in gunboats, two tankers on their way to Georgia.

Wait, so you got the oil?

I thought you were in this messbecause you couldn't negotiate for it.

No, I had the oil the whole time.

I just couldn't get the tankers out of Moldavian waters. I didn't want to tell you about it 'cause I knew you'd try to talk me into returning the oil for our freedom.

Right, so I-I sacrificed myself so you could keep all of the... couple barrels of stolen oil?

It was over 150 million gallons.

And it was mineto begin with.

Do you have any idea how much money that is?

Do you have any idea what we've been through?

What I've been through?

I dropped everything to come save you.

I risked my life, because you're my father.

Even though you, you continued to berate me.

And now I find out that this could've all ended yesterday if you weren't so damn greedy?

Hey, hey, Adam? No, we're done.

Evan?

What's going on? What's wrong? Hey.

You, uh, texted me something about k*lling your mother and then I never heard back.

Sorry, I totally forgot about you.

No, everythingis fine.

Nobody got hurt, not even Joyce Doyle.

Well, I mean, she did getkicked in the stomach, but as far as car accidents go, she was faking her injuries.

What? Yeah.

So the case is now closed.

You are free to goback and work for the poor or disenfranchised or whatever it is that you do.

But, uh, we should still celebrate, right?

I mean, we never did get our lunch and, uh, I'm free for dinner or drinks, you know, whatever works best.

I just want to see you again.

Evan... I'm sorry, but...

I am getting married to the man I love, Liam.

And there's no one elsel want to be with.

And I don't wantto lead you on.

So I think it's best that we don't go out... or see each other anymore.

Okay?

No, no, I get it.

Have a good wedding.

Thanks.

Hey, it's me.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Well, I don't care if they dropped by unannounced, Joyce.

You were supposed to improvise!

Well, yes, the deal is off.

If I don't get to be her hero, then you don't get a dime.

What now?

I've already called Meghan Markle's cousin and asked her to co-host, so you can't cancel the show.

I'm not... I came here to tell you that you were right about Evan.

He did have feelings for me.

Hmm.

I guess I do tend to question your advice because... you were never around to give meany when I was younger.

Classic defense mechanism.

I did a show about that three days ago.

Yeah.

Look...

I'm sorry that I've always seen you as a manipulative shrew.

But I'm gonna try to change that.

Okay, I'm gonna try to see you as someone with... goals and wants and... all that regular crap that real people have.

A three-dimensional manipulative shrew?

Exactly.

You know, I always thought thatl got my tenacity from Blake, but now I'm starting to think I got it from you.

Which is why I have decided I am not gonna stand in your way any longer.

Aw!

Your censor button.

Does this mean I have carteblanche to say whatever I want?

Well, it was really more symbolic than anything else, so... I'm gonna say whatever I want.

This is his office?

What the hell?

Oh.

Hi, guys.

Chase Cartof's office.

How can I help you?

Oh. It's for you.

I'll just, uh, put it on speaker.

There you go.

Hello?

Dominique, Michael Culhane here.

You know, the guy youscrewed over for the last time.

What's going on here?

I don't have time for this.

: Well, you ain't got nothing but time.

You have no House of Deveraux.

And, surprise, Chase Cartof doesn't exist.

Did you really think that you could be the next Oprah?

Oh, geez.

And, Vanessa, this is what you get for alwaysdoing what your mother says.

Let me be clear.

We are done.

I wish I could see the looks on your faces right about now.

Oh, wait. I can.

Would you lookat that?

Better than I thought.

Told you.

You were right.

This was amazing.

You're fired.

Whoa.

Feeling okay? I will, after I spend the next five days in bed.

But what about the 30 Under 30 thing?

Don't you haveto do that?

Can you please take this to my room? Thank you.

I already told you, I'm not in a good place to give uplifting speeches.

Are you joking?

Sam, you're the reason we're alive.

You're a hero. No, I'm not.

Danny Trejo is.

And, yes, I know he wasn't real, but he guided me through it all.

Okay? If I had been in my right mind, then I'd still be in that plane and you'd still be in prison. Sam, I don't care how many fake people helped.

That was all you.

Just like La Mirage.

Sure, maybe somebody elsegave you the money, but, Sam, you made it a success.

So stop selling yourself short.

You know what?

You're right.

I am a hero.

So, look out, 30 Under 30.

Because I may have lied about my age, but I'm coming for you.

And I just rescued Blake and Liam from a Moldavian prison, so, uh, I got some things to say.

What did he just say?

I know that you're madand angry.

And hurt. And hurt.

But you need to knowyou were never in real danger.

I already hada plan to rescue you.

Sure.

You are my priority, Adam.

If you don't believe that, maybe now you will.

It's for your first dayas my number two at Carrington Atlantic.

You saved me.

Want to learn the ropesfrom your old man?

Of course I do.

Good.

I have something for you as well.

Get the dirt on someone, huh?

No, no dirt. Maybe a little bit of sand.

That is the deedfor a beachfront restaurant in New Zealand.

And when you decideyou're ready to retire, that'll be waitingfor you to take over.

We've come a long way, haven't we?

So...

When does Cristal get back?

I believe she's been here the whole time, sir.

♪ Mine ♪ Immaculate dream

♪ Made breath and skin

I'm so relieved and thankful that you're alive, Blake.

Cristal, please don't.

I can't do this anymore.

We're not happy.

We're not talking.

We barely knowwho we are anymore.

Maybe we rushed into things, and now reality is catching up with us.

Well, then let's fight for us. Let's...

♪ Might take a little crime...

There's nothing we can't do.

We'll fix it.

This isn't one of your business deals, Blake.

So that's it? You're just giving up?

All I know is that I need to be by myself.

I need timeto think, to make things right.

I'm sorry.

♪ When you come undone You finally got what you wanted.

Blake saw your worth.

Why aren't you more excited?

Because I finally saw his.

It was alwaysabout the money.

It was never about us.

You still accepted the job though.

Yeah.

But I'm not using itto get closer to Blake.

I'm using itto make him pay.
