04x22 - Filled With Manipulations and Deceptions

[bunniefuu]

- Previously on Dynasty...
- Just came back for my files.

Feels good to have my work
back where it belongs: with me.

Once we destroy Dominique

emotionally,
spiritually and financially,

you will get your millions.

DOMINIQUE: [GASPS] Jeff?

I'm going to break my neck in here.

FALLON: I was gonna tell you.

That's what I wanted
to talk about tonight.

Oh, what? A-After you stop by
to see your boyfriend first?

It's over, Fallon.

♪ Here comes the bride. ♪

Hello?

Fallon, are you here?

[FALLON GROANS]

[SIGHS] What are you doing here?

I was coming to check on you.
I was worried about you

when they said you didn't
come home last night.

I'm guessing that, um,

things aren't working out
with Liam the way you hoped.

You could say that.

I think he's leaving
me for good this time.

Fallon, I'm-I'm so sorry.

If there's anything that you need...

No, no, no, no.
I've got everything I need right...

Well, no. I am out of alcohol.

Luckily,

Eva keeps a bottle of gin in her desk

for emergency situations.

♪

- What the hell?
- What is it?

I just didn't realize

my assistant was such
a fan of my husband.

Or that they've been taking
prom pictures together.

EVA [IN DISTANCE]: Fallon?

- [CLEARS THROAT]
- Oh, hi.

Uh, what are you doing in already?

- I didn't see an email.
- Oh, oh, no, you're fine.

You're fine. Everything's fine.

Um, Amanda and I just got breakfast.

I wanted to get a head start
on things because, you know,

early bird gets the acquisitions, right?

Yeah.

Just... are you sure you're okay?

Mm-hmm.

Uh, Eva, you know what?

You're right.

Things aren't good.

And I think that you
should take the day off.

You know, you have been working so hard.

Why don't you go home and relax.

I mean, nothing
earth-shattering's happening

here today.

Okay. Uh, thanks.

- Mm-hmm.
- And I'll have my phone,

so if there's anything I can do,
just let me know.

'Kay. [CHUCKLES]

Think you've already done enough.

What do you think this means?

I will admit that it
is a little bit weird,

but it could be completely innocent.

So maybe just, like, take a breath

before we jump to conclusions.

I'm not jumping to anything.
I just think

we need to look a little
deeper into my lying,

cheating, backstabbing assistant.

Okay.
As long as you're not jumping to...

Did you just say "we"?

You did offer to help.

- Please watch where you're going.
- Yes, sir.

Where have you been? We need to check

on those alcohol orders ASAP.

Kirby and I were just next door

making sure everything's
ready for tomorrow night.

- [SIGHS]
- We are finally set

for the grand opening
of The Sahara Club.

Slash Blake's political gala.

Blake's event is really just a warmup.

Once his rich campaign donors leave,

the real party can start.

Which is why I canceled the
DJ and I booked Dua Lipa

- to perform.
- [GASPS]

- She's flying in tomorrow.
- Ooh, she'll be great,

as long as we don't have another
Ashanti food poisoning incident.

[GROANS] I'm going to go
check on those orders now.

Try to relax.

Okay?

This party's gonna take La
Mirage to the next level.

And that is exactly why I can't relax.

I mean, this opening is the
biggest step in my career

since buying the hotel.

What if something goes wrong? Hmm?

I need to be prepared for
every possible disaster.

You've been planning this for months.

You're ready.

Unless there's something
else bothering you.

No, no. It's just...

it's a lot of pressure for
me to handle on my own, okay?

You wouldn't get it.

DOMINIQUE: Jeff, what's going on?

I know you don't want to hear this,

but Brady is playing you.

We've already been over this.

I'm taking it slow.

You don't have to worry about me.

Yeah, I'm worried about me.

What's that supposed to mean?

I think Brady was sent here

to steal confidential
Colby Co. space data.

He's using you to get to my rocket tech.

Brady? The guy who runs a nightclub?

Honey, he doesn't know
anything about rockets

or space.

He showed up in Atlanta

right when my competition ramped up.

And if he runs a nightclub,
he's been gone for a while.

How many vacation days
do you think he gets?

Jeff, I'm worried this is
getting out of control.

The stress isn't good for you.

I saw the writing on the wall.

Literally. All of the scribblings

over the blacked-out windows.

Papers everywhere.

I'm fine.

I told you, I-I had a migraine.

The sunlight made it worse.

And those are just
equations on the wall.

- What were you even doing here?
- I was worried.

Let me schedule you a
doctor's appointment,

just to be safe.

You may be right.

Been burning the candle at both ends.

I'll make an appointment
and ask for something

to help me relax,
but I'm okay, I promise.

We have a problem.

Blake, you know I love the gray hair.

You look sophisticated.

What? No, not that.

Although, thank you for saying.

FEMALE REPORTER:
Senate candidate Blake Carrington,

now facing anonymous rumors that

his sports betting machines
at Atlantix Stadium

used illegal profit-skimming
methods still ha...

[CLICK]

Someone has been talking to
the press about the Atlantix,

- and I'm assuming it wasn't you.
- Of course not.

The only other people
that knew about the kiosks

were your brother and your father.

- And seeing as how Silvio's in prison...
- Beto.

He's still trying to
derail your campaign

to get back at me for taking
over the family business.

He's your brother,
which is why I let it slide

when he cost me the farmers union.

Now things are getting tight.

So what do you want to do?

I want to put an end to it.
I'm gonna find Beto,

and I'm gonna make it clear that
he's messing with the wrong guy.

Wait. Let me handle it.

I know my brother.
He won't listen to you.

And threats won't work.

I am the only person that can
convince him to back down.

All right.

BOBBY: You stole my research,
and I can prove it.

I can go to the board,
the media or the police.

Unless you have a better offer.

Look, I doubt you want
to spend years fighting

for the patent,

not to mention the legal fees,
so why don't I just

pay you for your hard work?

- How does grand sound?
- It sounds insulting.

You're gonna make a fortune off this.

I want % of the future profits.

That's ridiculous.

And I'm gonna need a down payment since

any profit is years away.

Let's say five million.

Are you insane?

I don't know what you
think they pay me here,

but I don't have five
million dollars to spare.

You're a Carrington.

Figure it out by tomorrow night.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

I know I'm probably the last person

you want to see right now,
but I just want to talk.

If you've come to apologize, Fallon,

I really don't want to hear it.

I know that,
and I know that you don't forgive me.

I don't even forgive myself,
but that's not why I'm here.

You took Eva to the Paysinger Awards?

I found this in her desk.
I didn't realize

you two had gotten so close.

I didn't take her.

She showed up when you blew me off.

And what's your point?

It's not like we're sleeping together.

Maybe not,
but I don't think it's unreasonable

to wonder why my husband
has been spending time

with my pretty assistant
and never mentioned it.

Not sure why I'm on trial here.

But, yeah,
she's been a good friend, Fallon.

And is that why you stopped
by the office last night,

to see your good friend Eva?

Enough. She asked me
to drop off her necklace,

which she left in my car

after we went to the rock climbing gym.

Wow. That little bitch is good.

It all makes sense now.

She knew that I was meeting
with Colin to fire him,

and that's why she called
you into the office.

To make sure that you
heard our conversation.

Yeah, which I did.

Which was about you cheating on me,

so I'm not exactly sure
what you're accusing me of.

I'm not accusing you of anything.

I'm just saying

what if this thing that happened to us

wasn't really our fault?

If Eva was trying to split us up,

wouldn't that count for something?

You're just looking for a way
to excuse your own bad behavior.

We weren't doomed, Liam.

We were sabotaged.

Eva thinks she's helping you

see the true me,

but she has been working to split us up.

And I'm gonna prove that to you.

♪

- [ELEVATOR BELL CHIMES]
- What a wonderful surprise.

I thought you weren't speaking to me.

Holding on to this grudge is

causing me nothing but stress.

So, whether or not you deserve it,

I have decided to forgive you.

Oh, sweetheart.

Thank you.

You don't know how happy this makes me.

And, in the spirit of mending fences,

I would like you to join my team

and help me get my anti-aging
drug ready for market.

It's in your wheelhouse, and I figure

the two of us working together

could help us fix things.

- I accept.
- Great.

- Ah, this is so exciting.
- [CHUCKLES]

I always thought I
should be a beauty guru.

Great. Um,

I will need a small initial investment,

just to get the ball rolling.
It's nothing, really.

It's like, um...

five million.

Would you mind repeating that?

Disrupting one of the world's
most lucrative industries

involves considerable start-up costs.

Unless you don't have faith in me.

No, it's just...

You don't trust me?

Wow. After all of your
lies and deception,

you think I'm the untrustworthy one.

Okay, all right, forget it.

Adam, wait.

If this is the cost of having
a relationship with you,

you will have the check by tomorrow.

Thank you, Mother.

This is a solid investment,
professionally and personally.

I know.

And I think that you and I

should attend Blake's gala together.

It will be filthy with rich patrons

that we can convince to invest.

Just take it easy on the melodrama.

Not everyone has a mother's guilt.

FALLON: Anything?

I just heard back from
a friend of a friend

who works at the, uh,
county courthouse. The reason

that Eva has been so hard to trace

is because it's not her real name.

It's Rebecca Allen.

Well, at least it was until
she changed it three years ago.

I knew it. She has been lying

since she walked through those doors.

I have to go tell Liam.

Whoa, whoa, no.
I don't think that this is

the smoking g*n that you need.

People change their names.

It doesn't mean they're keeping secrets.

I mean, I'm changing mine to Carrington.

Yeah, but you were keeping secrets,

so it's kind of a bad example.

But I understand what you're saying.

Rebecca obviously had
a reason to disappear.

And I'm gonna find out what it is.

You need to stop sabotaging
Blake's campaign.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

I know you're upset because Papa
left me control of the business.

But I'm willing to give
you what you feel is fair.

How much will it take for
you to drop this vendetta?

I don't want money.

I just want what's mine:

Flores Incorporado.

Give that to me,
I'll disappear from your lives.

I can't do that.

Our father left me in
charge for a reason.

I helped build that company
while you moved here

and turned your back on all of us.

You don't deserve it.

I turned my back? You just put

our father in prison.

I hope you're hungry.

I've got dinner
reservations for tonight,

and I need a beautiful woman by my side.

I don't think I can make it tonight,
actually.

- Rain check?
- Yeah, sure.

Everything okay?

How long are you planning
to stay in Atlanta?

Don't you have to get back
to your club at some point?

I left my assistant manager in charge

while I took time off
to reconnect with you.

Where's this coming from?

I'm sorry. Just something Jeff said.

[SHORT CHUCKLE]

Well, you know
how protective sons can be

when it comes to their mothers.

He'll come around.

Can you at least have a drink with me?

Another night, I promise.

But it's not a good time. I just spoke

to Jeff's neurologist,
and he hasn't been going

to his appointments. Something's wrong.

And after years of putting myself first,

I need to be there for my son

right now.

I understand. You look after Jeff.

I'll see you tomorrow night at the gala.

Eva.

I-I'm sorry,
I didn't know where else to go.

What's going on? Are you okay?

It's Fallon.

When I got to work this morning,

she started making all these excuses,

trying to get rid of me for the day.

Yeah, I think she saw a
picture of us or something.

Yeah, and then she snapped,
screaming at me.

Accusing me of having
an affair with you.

She even threw a mug at my head.

Thank God she missed.

Really? Fallon?

I love my job.

But you should have seen
the look in her eyes.

I ju... I-I can't go back there.

I'm so scared. I'm so...

It's okay.

[COUGHING]

What's going on? Is there a fire?

- Do I need to call ?
- No, no.

I was just burning some sage

and might have gotten
a little carried away.

And you were burning sage
in the hotel because?

Because I had a premonition
that something terrible

was going to happen at the gala tonight.

Seriously, what is going on with you?

You have nothing to worry about.

You rebuilt and reopened
this entire hotel

all on your own, remember?

- I wasn't all on my own.
- Well, sure,

you didn't hammer the nails,

but you made it happen.

Well, I had someone guiding me

every step of the way.

My very own grumpy,
old-fashioned safety net.

Oh.

So this is about my
father not being here.

During that first renovation,

every time I thought about giving up

or had an issue, I knew I could
count on Anders to help guide me.

I know how much my dad meant to you.

And don't forget, I'm an Anders, too.

I can even throw on a
stiff suit and give you

- some slightly condescending advice if you want.
- [WEAK CHUCKLE]

Here, a whiskey sour.

My dad always made one
when he was stressed.

There's no way we're
gonna be ready on time.

The hotel opens in a week,

and we don't even have towels.

Well, towels are overrated.

People can air-dry.

Anders, I am serious. Okay?

I'm not sure I'm ready for this.

What if something goes wrong?

Oh, something will go wrong.
Always does.

Probably more than one thing, actually.

[CHUCKLES] Exactly.

Which is why I need your help.

We need to plan for every
terrible possibility.

No bookings,

plumbing issues.

Food poisoning.

Well?

Well, uh, while it may often appear

that I have all the answers, I don't.

I may look like the
smartest person in the room,

but most of the time I'm improvising.

Mm, but how do you always
seem so sure of yourself?

What's your secret?

Ah. Act confident,
even if you don't feel it.

It gives other people confidence.

Whatever happens, put on

a brave face and say, "Leave it to me,"

even though your insides feel like

they're in a washing machine.

And if all else fails,

put a kookaburra somewhere.

- Maybe over the bar.
- A cuckoo what now?

Kookaburra! They're a bird.
They're good luck.

They go koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-koo,
ga-ga-ga-ga-ga.

- Wow.
- Mm.

Yeah, well, I think a weird
bird may clash with the current

- aesthetic of the place.
- [CHUCKLES]

And I also think you've
had one too many sours,

so I'll walk you out.

Come on, mate, let's go.

[HUMMING]

KIRBY [ECHOING]: Sam?

Sammy Jo! Did you hear what I said?

Dua Lipa is stuck in San Francisco.

The airport got fogged in.
She's not gonna make it.

What do we do?

Leave it to me. I've got this.

[CHUCKLES] Wow.

That drink must have really worked,

'cause I didn't expect
you to take this so well.

I'm not. My insides are on a spin cycle.

DOMINIQUE: Something's wrong with Jeff.

What's going on?

I found out he hasn't been refilling his

neurotoxicity medication.

I think he stopped taking his pills.

That would explain why his
behavior's been so erratic.

The problem is, he won't listen to me.

Maybe you can talk to him.

I tried. At this point,

I think he needs professional help.

We can't just have him committed.

If word gets out,
it would destroy his life.

We just need to make him
get back on his meds.

I know a psychiatrist I can call.

We'll get him the help that he needs...

and keep this quiet.

Okay.

Get the doctor,
and I'll meet you at Jeff's

as soon as possible.

BLAKE: How'd it go with Beto?

Not well.

He's determined to t*nk your campaign.

I'm thinking about
giving him what he wants.

What? No, absolutely not.

What choice do I have?

You can't give up your family's legacy

because your brother
threw a temper tantrum.

Is that really what
your father would want?

- Of course not.
- No.

When I was little, he used to tell me

about his dreams to expand into the U.S.

Deep down, he always hoped
I'd run the business one day.

Yeah, because he knew
he could trust you.

The company is important to me,
but it's not a priority.

You and this campaign,
that is all I'm focused on right now.

If you give in to the blackmailer,

you lose your leverage, trust me.

I have a plan.

We tried it your way,
now let me try it the Carrington way.

Okay.

But I am also a Carrington.

So we'll do this together.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Eva has been trying to break us up

since she first
slithered into our lives,

and I can prove it.

This is what you wanted to talk about?

- Eva isn't even her real name.
- Blaming your assistant

doesn't change the fact that
you slept with someone else.

I know that.

But she was expelled for stalking.

She was obsessed with her
married English lit teacher,

and she was trying to
break up his marriage.

Okay, so she had a crush
on her professor,

and she changed her name.

I had a cute algebra teacher once,
and I've used

at least three different names;
does that make me crazy?

Well, that's not all
she's been lying about.

There was the divorce lawyer

and not telling you I had to move lunch.

But none of this excuses your
screaming at her like that.

You actually threw a mug?

I didn't throw a mug at anyone.

I have been nothing but a mentor to her.

A few months ago I
would've blindly accepted

anything that you said.

But now I don't even
know how I can trust you.

I am telling the truth.

I know things are messy now, but...

I did call a divorce lawyer.

This morning.

I thought you should
know that's the reason

I agreed to see you.

I know neither of us wanted
things to end up this way,

but I meant what I said earlier.

This is goodbye, Fallon.

This plan is taking too long.

I turned down a very
large sum of money...

Which seems crazy now
in the light of day.

- Why are all men so shortsighted?
- I'm realistic.

I'm filing for divorce
and taking what's mine

before I end up with nothing.

Don't panic. Stick to the plan.

You re-propose and get her to accept,

then you leave her at the altar,
alone and humiliated.

Which she deserves after
betraying me and helping

Blake steal the manor.

Then you get half her money and more.

Do we really have to humiliate her?

Oh, don't tell me you're
starting to get feelings.

Meet Dom at Blake's gala.

And be charming, okay?

You know how to woo, don't you?

See how easy that is?

Fine, I'll stay.

But someone needs to watch out for Jeff.

He's getting suspicious.

Where are you now, Brady?

The Solitaire?

Alexis.

I'm glad you came around.

Giving me the company
is the right decision.

Yeah, um, well, that's not happening.

What are you talking about?

Well, I had to get you here somehow,

and I knew you wouldn't
come if you knew that

not only are you not
getting the family company,

but Cristal's moving
the headquarters here

just to, you know,
keep an eye on things.

[LAUGHS] You can't be serious.

Well, your father
entrusted the Flores empire

to Cristal, not you.

Look, we can keep this real simple.

If the company isn't mine in hours,

I will ruin your campaign.

Maybe you can bully my sister,

but not me.

Enough.

The only bully here is you, Beto.

So let me keep this simple.
You're done with this.

Is that supposed to scare me?

Are you scared of Papa?

Because if you don't stop,
I will call him

and tell him exactly who betrayed him

and put him in prison.

This isn't you, Cristal.

This man has changed who you are.

He's turned you against your family.

I tried to solve this problem my way,

but you wouldn't be reasonable...
so back off,

or I talk to Silvio.

[MUTTERING INDISTINCTLY]

Jeff! Jeff! Is everything okay?

Does it look like everything's okay?
[GRUNTS]

Put the hammer down so we can talk.

No time to talk.

What are you doing?

Getting rid of all my research.

Colby Co. Space has been compromised.

And I would rather destroy everything

than let Brady sell it
to the highest bidder.

[GRUNTS]

Jeff, listen to me. You need help.

Okay,

I know you haven't
taken your medication.

Yes, I stopped taking my pills,

but that's when everything became clear.

Wait, wait. Why do you have a g*n?

Why does anyone? To protect myself.

There are bad people out there, Mom.
You don't know

who you can trust.

Brady is spying on me,

and he's working with Alexis.

You're not thinking straight

because of the neurotoxicity.

Michael is going to be here in a minute

with a doctor,
and we are going to get you better.

Okay.

Okay, yeah, yeah,
you-you might be right.

I don't feel so good.

[GROANS]

Sweetheart...

I'm okay. I'm okay, I'm okay.

[GROANS]

What? What are you doing?

Unlock me.

This is for your own protection.

You'll be safe here till I get back.

I won't let Brady make
a fool of either of us.

Jeff, come back here! Don't do this.

Oh, no,

- not so fast, missy.
- Oh, Fallon, hi.

I'm just getting my stuff.

I think my time here has
probably run its course.

Mm. Well, before you sail off
into the sunset of psychos,

maybe you should call my
husband and tell him exactly

what you've done to ruin our marriage.

I don't know what you're talking about,

but this is why I need to move on.

You just...
You seem to have a really unhealthy

interest in my life.

Are you kidding?

You may think that you have this whole

innocent Disney Princess vibe going on,

but I can tell that you
are one step away from

making a dalmatian coat.

I know you're upset,

and I am so sorry about the
you and Liam thing, but...

Yeah.

I found your little love manifesto

written in the margins
of my husband's book.

You're like the Unistalker.

But that ends now.

Does it?

You know, I have to admit
I didn't think it would go this well.

True, I never cared about
this job or your company.

I just wanted to get Liam away from you.

All I had to do was invent

a few stories about a divorce lawyer

and then make sure Colin
was in your office.

But I did not force
you to sleep with him.

I have had enough of this

[PANTING]

- Ow!
- Liam?

- What are you doing here?
- Eva asked me

to help her pack up,

because she was afraid of you.

Now I can see why.

I told you she was violent.

Oh, you are good, I'll give you that.

Liam, this is not what it looks like.

She has been manipulating
this whole thing.

She basically just
admitted it all to me.

Thank you so much for coming.
I-I just don't know

what she would have done
if you hadn't been here.

[EXHALES]

Can we just go? Please?

Yeah.

What are we doing here?
Shouldn't we be worried

about Dua Lipa?

I don't know what that is,
but I'm worried

about letting people in before
they decide to go somewhere else.

Well, a wise man once told
me to just be confident

and things will work out.

And a little luck
never hurt anyone, so...

without further ado...

KIRBY: Aw.
"In loving memory of Joseph Anders.

Never far from our hearts."

That's beautiful, Sam.

He'd love it.

Although I never understood

were good luck,
'cause they always freaked me out.

BOBBY: So, you live here now, too?

And you complain you
don't have any money.

My mother lives here, not me.

You never pay a blackmailer
at home or at work.

I prefer the term "business partner."

Uh-huh. I don't care what you prefer.

Here's your money.
You can see yourself out.

- I need to leave now.
- Now that we're here, I don't think it's fair,

you getting all the credit
for this breakthrough.

It should be the two of us.

Absolutely not. We had a deal.

That's the price we agreed on.

I'm taking the money,
but I want the glory, too.

Do you know what this
could do for my career?

Yes, I do, because I did all the work.

It was my research.

Which my family's foundation paid for.

I would have figured it out

if you hadn't fired
me and stolen my work.

So either we make a deal,

or I call the police.

BLAKE: It's so good to see you again.
Thank you for coming.

I'm exhausted,

and I haven't even given my speech yet.

Where's Liam? I want him up there

with the family when the time comes.

Well, unless you want to call
him and invite him yourself,

that's probably not gonna happen.

Did you two get in a fight?

Considering he told me
our marriage is over?

Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

But here I am, all dressed up

for my big Carrington photo op
because at the end of the day

family comes first, right?

Look, you need to know how grateful I am

and how grateful we all are

for everything you did
for the family this year.

And look what I have to show for it.

I know it's hard to see right now,

but you should be proud of yourself.

I'm proud of you.

Adam.

Good evening, Mother. How's it going?

Just like I told you, the room

is filled with possible
investors for our company.

Who cares about the election?

Wow, your spirit of public service is,
uh, admirable.

- Are you okay?
- Mm-hmm.

You got the check, right?

Yes, I did. Thank you, Mom.

Yeah, everything is... is fine now.

Perfect. But before I
introduce you to some people,

I thought we could discuss
a few of my marketing ideas.

Sounds like a great plan. I just...

I really need a drink first.

Of course. Hurry back.

- Hmm.
- MICHAEL: Dom?

What in the hell happened in here?
And where's Jeff?

He locked me up,
took a g*n, and then left.

He has a g*n? Where'd he go?

I don't know. He's confused.

He thinks Brady's a spy
and working with Alexis.

Doesn't even make...
Where's Brady right now?

Maybe if we find him, we can find Jeff.

Blake's campaign gala.

I'm worried Jeff's going
to do something terrible

if we don't stop him.

He took the key with him.

[EXHALES] I can take care of that.

LIAM: I can't believe it's over.

It's, like, really over.

I know.

At least you found out who she is now

instead of five years from now.

This is for the best.

Trust me.

[KISS]

I'm sorry, um...

I don't know if I've given
you the wrong idea or what,

but this is not what I'm looking for

at the moment.

I understand if it's too soon.

I'm just so glad that I could help you

find out the truth about Fallon.

Help me?

So that night when you asked
me to drop off your necklace

at the office, and I heard...

Colin and Fallon talking...

did you know they'd be there?

- No. Of course not.
- But you did know about the affair?

I mean, I wasn't sure.

I had a feeling,
but it wasn't my place to speculate.

And how'd your necklace just
happen to fall off in my car

without you noticing?

And ended up right where I would see it.

I don't know, I guess the clasp broke.

Is this really what you want
to be talking about right now?

Yeah, it-it's just weird
how you always seem

to show up when I'm alone.

I mean, there was the awards ceremony,

the rock climbing gym...

I can't help it if we
have a lot in common.

You can't deny that we
have an intense connection.

Look, I appreciate you stopping by.

But I think maybe it's
time that you leave.

A-Are you saying that you
don't feel that connection?

Especially now that
Fallon's out of the picture.

Fallon was right.

You've been manipulating
this the whole time.

Only because I love you.

I always have,
ever since I read your book.

Oh, you don't love me, Eva.

No, you barely know me.

And even if you think you do,
I don't feel the same way.

The truth is, I still love Fallon.

Even after she cheated on you?

All I had to do was get
those two in a room together.

I think you should leave.

But we're meant to be together...

that's all I wanted you to see.

I'm gonna call security if you don't go.

Now.

Have you been avoiding me?

You disappeared,
and now you're hiding in a hallway.

I wasn't hiding. I was just, um...

- [INDISTINCT RADIO TRANSMISSION]
- Oh.

What do they want?

I have no idea.

Alexis Colby?

Yes. How can I help the
men and women in blue?

You're under arrest for m*rder.

- What?!
- No, Officer, th-there must be some mistake.

Dr. Robert Larson was
found dead on the sidewalk

in front of your building after a fall.

We have a witness who saw a woman

matching your description fighting

with a man on your balcony.

This is insane.

Do you have any idea who I am?

Yeah. That's why we're here, ma'am.

I'm gonna need to read you your rights.

You have the right to remain silent.

- Take your hands off of me!
- Anything you say can and will

- be used against you in a court of law.
- This is outrageous. Adam!

- Do something!
- Don't worry, Mother, I'm gonna get you the best lawyer.

We're gonna sort this out.
I promise. Just...

[EXHALES]

...stay strong.

You're not gonna believe this.
Dua Lipa made it!

What? Seriously? How?

Well, the fog lifted, and she got a
ride out on someone's private jet.

- She just landed.
- [QUIETLY]: Yes.

[SQUEALS HAPPILY]

Thank you.

[CHUCKLING]: You think I lifted
the fog in San Francisco?

I may be dead, but I'm not God.

Well, if anyone can control the weather,
that would be you.

Well, I appreciate
your unswerving faith in me,

but you don't need it anymore.

What do you mean?

You pulled off this expansion
of the hotel without my help.

You dispatched your crooked contractor.

Uh, maybe
let's not discuss that right now.

I'm impressed.

From the lost soul I met years ago

to the man you are today,
it's quite a journey.

And you can thank that plaque
on the wall all you like,

but this is your vision.

So what now?

Now...

I bid adieu,

happy in the knowledge that
you don't need me anymore.

Which is just as well

considering that I
was never really here.

What is that song you're humming?

I don't know, it's a...

song that Anders used to sing

on nights when he'd had a few too many.

It just... just popped into my head.

Clearly, he's here watching over you.

Or he's here getting hammered.

[CHUCKLES]

Pretty good turnout.

You know, with your brother finally

out of the way, I think we may have

There has been a terrible mistake.

Please...

I am innocent.

No, I-I didn't do anything.

You can't leave me in here.

Damn it! Let me out of here!

[PANTS]

BLAKE: Good evening. Sorry to bother you

while you're having so much fun.

I promise I will be brief. Relatively.

[LAUGHTER]

First I want to thank Sam and Michael,
and La Mirage

for hosting us,
and for sharing this club's reopening

with my campaign.
It's a big night for everyone.

And I want to thank you all

- for coming out as well.
- So just...

call me when you get here, Dom.

Or even if you're not coming.

[BLAKE CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

Jeff.

You okay?

[PANTING]: Better...

now that I figured
out what you're up to.

Look, I don't know
what you're talking about,

but I love your mother.

[SCOFFS] It's not my
mother I'm worried about.

You didn't come to Atlanta for her.

You came here to steal my rocket tech

and sell it to the highest bidder.

- Just admit it.
- Rocket tech?

Jeff, I have no idea
what you're talking about.

How long have you been
working with Alexis? Huh?

Yeah, that's right.

You clicked on a link I
sent you a few weeks ago.

Looked like a software update?

Instead, it gave me access to
your GPS whenever I wanted it.

That's illegal.

[LAUGHS] Considering you're the one

stealing my intellectual property,

I'm not too concerned

with what's legal right now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

...a vote for my opponent

is a vote for the same old
politics that you already know.

Now, I've been all over this great state

over the last few months,

and I have visited with...

You're here.

You were right about Eva.

She's unstable.

I'm just glad you finally saw it.

To be clear,
this doesn't mean that I forgive you.

I'm here to support
the family right now.

We still have a lot
of stuff to deal with.

I know we do.

But you want to try,

right?

I showed up, didn't I?

BRADY: Calm down.

Okay? I swear I'm not spying on you.

Just tell me the truth!

[PANTING]

[GRUNTING]

What the hell, man? I had him!

Jeff, it's me.

Put the g*n down.

You're not well and you need help.

I should have known.

You're in on this, too.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

BLAKE: And I say that starts
right here in Atlanta.

And as your senator,

I will work day and night
to deliver that promise.

It is high time

that Georgians have

someone in their corner

to fight for a better deal.

Thank you for your support.

Enjoy the rest of the evening.

I understand that
Duolingo is on her way.
