04x16 - A Little Girl

[bunniefuu]

( majestic theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

(panting)

Oh, doctor, she's complaining
of visual disturbances

and severe headache.

Mag sulfate, four
grams, IV push, stat.

All of you, please leave.

I'm staying.

Mr. Carrington, our
priority is Kirby now.

I must keep her quiet.
Doctor, I've got to stay.

Come on, Adam. Come on.

(panting)

(Kirby gasps)

Help her.

Oh, dear God, please, help her.

( dramatic theme playing)

WOMAN (on PA):
Dr. Davey, call .

Dr. Davey, call , please.

How is she?

I hope to have her
stabilized in a couple of hours.

Well, you're not sure then?

No. Because with her
blood pressure so elevated,

the stress on her
vital organs so great,

a stroke is a very
real possibility.

Doctor, the night before
last, when we brought her in,

you warned us
that Kirby could die.

WINFIELD: Which is exactly
why we're monitoring her.

And the moment she's stabilized,

I'm going to take the
baby by cesarean section.

But you also said
that at this point,

the baby's chances
aren't very good.

It's too little, it's too weak.

WINFIELD: That's right.

But I can't wait any
longer, Mr. Carrington.

There are two lives
in jeopardy now.

And, if I may suggest it,

why don't you all go on home.

There's nothing you can do.

Thank you, doctor.

I'm staying.

You and Krystle
should just go home.

I know you have to leave
for Washington in a few hours.

Well, I'm thinking of
postponing that meeting, Adam.

An emergency closed-door meeting

of the Energy
Studies Commission?

Father, you have to be there.

Yeah, I suppose you're right.

I'll be back in the morning.

Adam, do you mind if I
stay with you for a while?

Oh, no, Krystle, I'd
appreciate that a lot.

I'll be back to take
you to the airport.

Thank you.

Everything's gonna
be all right, son.

Believe me.

( dramatic theme playing)

GERARD: Hi.

Oh, I'm gonna be
flying to Washington

in a couple of hours.

I'll need an overnight
bag and a top coat.

Yes, sir. Oh, Mr. Carrington,
the staff are very concerned

about Mrs. Colby's condition.

Well, she's had a
little setback, Gerard,

but she's in good
hands. The best available.

Good. (phone ringing)

Oh, it's all
right. I'll get that.

Yes?

It's Peter, Blake.

Where are you
calling from, Peter?

From the Los Angeles Airport.

I've got the diamonds. I'll
be in Denver in two hours.

Has there been any
word on Allegree?

No, no. Nothing yet.

What's the matter?

You sound as if
something is wrong.

I still don't like the
idea of knuckling under

to those damn kidnappers
by paying that ransom

and then not bringing
the police in this.

Blake, you did put up half
the money for the ransom.

And I told you what
might happen to the horse.

Yes, yes, I know
what you told me.

I also know that you...

They're announcing my
flight. Speak to you later.

Oh, hello, darling.

Daddy, why are you so
antagonistic toward Peter?

Because I have
some doubts, Fallon.

Doubts about what?

Partly about the
way this whole thing

is being handled.

You said, "partly."

What else do you have
doubts about? Peter?

I've gotta do some packing,

I'm flying to
Washington shortly, but...

Let's you and I sit for a minute

and talk about this
engagement of yours, huh?

Well, there's nothing really
that much to talk about.

I'm marrying a terrific guy.
We're crazy about each other.

Except that you haven't
known him very long, have you?

No, I haven't.

Not in terms of
clocks and calendars.

Fallon, that was impulsive.

Just the same way your elopement

with Jeff was impulsive.

I would not like to see this
marriage end the same way.

Daddy, Jeff has
nothing to do with this.

It has to do with Peter.

Why don't you just come out
and say it. You don't like him.

Now, how the devil
can I like or dislike

a man I hardly
know or know about?

( tense theme playing)

But I do know you,
and I do love you,

very much.

And I don't want you
to maybe get hurt.

Somebody's been
badmouthing Peter.

I wanna know who it is.

No, never mind.
I know who it is.

It's Jeff, isn't it?

No, it was your mother.

Oh, that paragon of sanctity.

You know ordinarily
I wouldn't believe

anything that she said.

But?

She claims there
was a nasty scandal

that Peter was involved in.

And that did make me
think that my daughter

ought to know more about the man

she's planning to spend
the rest of her life with.

All right, Mother, exactly
what kind of scandal

and when did you invent it?

Oh, darling, I've
invented a few in my time,

and for very good reason,

but this is not one of them. Mm.

Try one of these
canapés. They're delicious.

They've got little nuts

and alfalfa sprouts
and all sorts of things.

I asked you something.
I want an answer.

All right, you'll get it.

I was in Majorca
when I saw it happen.

Your, uh, Peter De Vilbis

dumped the princess of Andorra.

Who?

She was an extremely beautiful

and very rich young
woman about your age,

with whom he was
supposedly madly in love

and planning to marry.

He dumped her and
flew off to Monte Carlo

with some obscure
little French actress

with no talent.

At least, not for acting.

Princess was so upset
that she attempted su1c1de.

It was all extremely tawdry.

And you told Blake all of
this out of concern for me?

Well, yes, of course.

I don't want your
concern, Mother.

I just want you to
stay out of my life.

Oh, Fallon, it's not that easy.

A mother just can't turn
off her feelings for her child.

You should know
that, for God's sake.

What would happen if your son

was teetering on
the edge of a cliff?

Wouldn't you reach out
and do everything you could

to pull him back?

The way you reached
out for me and Mark?

(sighs)

I did you a favor
and you know it.

Why don't we talk
about what your motives

really were then,

and what they
are now with Peter.

Okay, let's do that.

Try jealousy.

Oh, jealousy?

Oh, Fallon, how could
I be jealous of you?

You can't stand to see
me happy with any man

because you've never
accomplished that yourself,

ever since Blake threw
you out of his house

and out of all of our lives.

Are you finished?

Because I've had
just about enough

of your daughterly
advice for the time being.

MARK: Hello, Fallon.

Oh, I see. This isn't
the same old stand.

Well, keep it that way, Mother.

And keep out of my life.

( dramatic theme playing)

I had to stop by the stables
for a couple of minutes, Paul,

but I should be
out at the airport

in about a half-hour. Right.

You must be tired.

Yes, I am, a little.

Are you sure you
don't want me to fly

to Washington with
you? Keep you company?

I'm gonna be home early
tomorrow morning, darling.

Besides, I must tell
you that I feel a lot safer

with one of us here in
case there's an emergency.

You're worried about Kirby.

Yes. And the horse and Fallon.

Well, I'm concerned
about Fallon too.

Not that I know anything
about Peter De Vilbis

but I know you, Blake,

and your relationship
with Fallon,

how the two of
you intuitively know

if the other's in trouble.

Yes.

Except in this case,
there's not much

I can do about it, is there?

But maybe I'm wrong about him.

Hopefully, very wrong.

( dramatic theme playing)

Martini, dry.

(patrons chattering)

Just back from L.A.?

Yes, just back.

Well, I guess
congratulations are in order.

You and Fallon.

So, uh, congratulations.

Thank you.

Look, De Vilbis,

I got a favor I
wanna ask of you.

Stop teaching Fallon how to fly.

I understand you
have a pilot's license.

Would you prefer to
teach her yourself?

No, De Vilbis. I don't
want her to fly at all.

Fallon is very emotional

and sometimes her head
goes off in a lot of directions.

She cracked up her car once

and almost lost our
child because of it.

She's determined to learn.

I'm her instructor, her
very good instructor.

In the air and in bed.

So she tells me.

What's the matter?

She never told you about that?

(grunts)

( dramatic theme playing)

FALLON: Jeff, stop it.

I'm not gonna stop until

I get him to shut up about you.

Oh, God.

Instead of creating
scenes in my hotel

and interfering in my life,

why don't you take
a look at your own?

Go be with Kirby.

You do remember her, don't you?

She's still your wife,
if she lives through

what she's going
through right now.

( melancholy theme playing)

Add ten milligrams
diazepam for the IV, nurse.

If that doesn't stabilize her,

God help us.

( dramatic theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

Alexis, before
we say good night,

do you have any orders for me?

Search under your
bed, fix you a nightcap,

get Dexter for you
on the telephone?

Mr. Dexter's in
Utah for the night.

Yes, you can fix me a brandy.

Fix one for yourself too.

You seem on edge, Mark.

Didn't you enjoy the concert?

If that fat lady's
one of the world's

great sopranos,
then I'm Mick Jagger.

(chuckling): I agree with you.

Her voice is in absolute shred.

She should have
been retired years ago.

That's the first
time in a long time.

What is?

That you've agreed
with me about anything.

Well, I find you rather
agreeable tonight.

Meaning?

Meaning that at one point
during the intermission

I looked around the lobby,

and I did not see a single man

who is nearly as
attractive as you are.

That's sweet
language, coming from

the most beautiful
woman I saw in that lobby.

Thank you.

There was a time I used to hear

a lot of that upstairs
in your room.

Do you miss those times, Mark?

Do I miss them?
How do you think I feel,

lying down there every night,
knowing how close you are?

Take off my necklace.

( sultry theme playing)

Now...

I know what to do now.

(gasps)

Now take the
necklace to your room,

and tomorrow you can take
it to Jensen's, the jeweler,

and have the clasp fixed.

It's been bothering
me all night.

Sweet dreams, Mark.

( tender theme playing)

Say it, that you're
happy I'm back.

Ecstatic, in fact.

You're so modest
and unsure of yourself.

Just like someone
else that I know.

(phone ringing)

Yes?

Hello?

Yes.

De Vilbis.

Yes.

I have the diamonds.

I understand.

But you must understand this,

if you harm the horse
in any way, I'll find you.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Those were the instructions.

We're ready to
deliver the ransom.

Oh, Peter, I wanna go with you.

What about your father?

I can't do anything
without talking to him first.

He's not here.

Where is he?

He's in Washington
in a closed-door

emergency session.

Washington?

They said, immediately.

What do I do?

Deliver the ransom and
let me come with you.

No.

Please, I wanna come with you.

I won't allow it.

I don't want you
to take any risks.

What I want

is for you to wait for me here

till I come back.

Will you promise me?

I promise.

Be careful.

( dramatic theme playing)

WOMAN (on PA):
Dr. Gray, call your office.

Dr. Winfield let
me look in on Kirby.

She's still in such pain.

If she makes it through this...

Not if, when.

Sorry, Jeff. It's my nerves.

I'm taking them out on you.

Well, I wouldn't
blame you if you did.

Adam, you and I
have been enemies

ever since we first set
eyes on one another.

Not only where
Kirby is concerned,

but in business and
just about everything.

Now, I, uh,

resented your coming
over to Colbyco,

so I went back there, purposely,

to put you in your place
and show you who's boss.

Well, that's honest.

Well, I think this seems to be

the time and the place for it.

You once accused me
of never recognizing you

as an equal. Not now.

Not when Kirby's life and
the baby's life at stake.

All of that seemed
so unimportant.

And, uh...

Yes?

Well, I always blamed
you for ruining my life

with that poisoning.

But it wasn't
you, it was Alexis.

And I was wrong.

And, uh...

I'm sorry for all of us.

Look, I know you wanna be alone,

so if Kirby's condition changes,

give me a call, okay?

( dramatic theme playing)

( majestic theme playing)

I thought I heard your car.

Yeah. And I just got
back from the hospital.

You wanna join me?

Sure.

What is it?

I had no right to marry Kirby.

Jeff, please don't.

No, look, it's only
caused a lot of heartache.

I used her to lie to myself
to leap into a marriage.

Jeff, sometimes a
marriage just can't work.

There's too much against it.

And that doesn't mean
that it's one person's fault

or the other's.

Not always.

You know, I dragged
Kirby off to Reno

as a way of getting
Fallon out of my system.

I lied to Kirby that night

and I've continued
to lie to her.

Just as I've lied to myself

that my love for
Fallon was over.

But it's not. God help me,

it's not, and it's
never going to be.

Jeff, it has to be.

Why?

Because her life is
going in another direction.

De Vilbis? De Vilbis is
gonna hurt her, I know it.

And you know what's so ironic?

There isn't anything
I can do about it.

Not one damn thing.

( dramatic theme playing)

(Adam whimpering)

No, Kirby. No.

Help her. No.

NURSE: Mr. Carrington?

Mr. Carrington,
are you all right?

Are you all right?

(panting)

Are you all right?

I've gotta see her right now.

I've gotta see Kirby right now.

Mr. Carrington.

NURSE: Please.

WINFIELD: Blood
pressure, / .

Let's get her to
Intensive Care, stat.

Yes, doctor.

Kirby, it's Adam.

Fight. Fight.

You've got to
keep our baby alive.

You mustn't lose it.

You can't lose it.

Please.

( dramatic theme playing)

Please.

( dramatic theme playing)

( majestic theme playing)

FALLON: Daddy, it's
happened. Allegree's back.

What about the police?

PETER: I called them.
They're on their way.

When did you call them?

After I paid the ransom.

Don't tell me you still think

I might have done otherwise.

I think I should
have been contacted

after you got that call.

Peter wanted to
phone you but I told him

you were in
Washington, unreachable.

That's not true. You
could have reached me.

I could have stepped out
of that meeting at any time

for an emergency phone call.

I could've reached you.

That's a fine thanks
you're offering

for a decision that
had to be made.

It's a fine thanks for
Peter risking his life.

He could have
been k*lled out there.

I'm sorry.

If I've said something
wrong, I'm sorry.

I've... I've been
up most of the night

and we've all been under

tremendous pressures with Kirby.

Well, at least we've
got Allegree back.

Why don't we go
out to the stables

to take look at him, hm?

(snorts)

The vet checked over
him, said he's fine.

No signs of mistreatment.

I gotta say, whoever took him

took good care of that beauty.

For $ million,
that's quite a price.

Blake, Sgt. Harrison is here.

Okay.

Okay, put him in here.

I did as instructed.

I was told to take
the country roads

out of Fraser, two
miles from here.

Go on.

I left the diamonds
near a blue-painted rock

in a canvass bag.

I heard nobody, I saw nobody,

and I just left as instructed.

The important thing
is that the horse

was found at daylight

in the lower pasture,
unharmed and well.

What's the matter?
Don't you believe me?

Well, in this country,
it's customary

to call the police when a
crime's been committed.

Maybe they don't play it
that way where you're from.

And maybe you don't
know who you're talking to.

I'm Peter De Vilbis.

I'm not one of the trash
you usually deal with.

Come on, Peter. Let's go.

(horse snorts)

You got your horse back.

I don't understand the
chip on his shoulder.

Well, maybe there's
more to Peter De Vilbis

than any of us knows.

So far.

( majestic theme playing)

That's wonderful
news about the horse.

Now we just have to keep

our fingers crossed
for Mrs. Colby.

Yes.

I don't know how long
this luncheon is gonna last.

It should be five
or six speeches.

Evelyn Masters is chair person?

Yes.

That'll be one very
long speech. Ha-ha.

Oh, I was afraid of that.

Tracy, would you
proofread this copy

and get it to the Chronicle
as soon as possible?

Oh, sure.

Bye. Bye.

Good luck. Thanks.

(door closes)

(phone buzzes)

Hello?

Yes, I am in Mrs.
Carrington's office, Arlene.

Well, please, transfer the call.

Mr. Beal. And what do
you have for me today?

Oscar Stone?

Oscar Stone.

Yeah. Yes, I remember him.

He had some pretty good wells up

in the northwest part of
the state and then, uh...

I don't remember. He got
into some kind of trouble.

Well, he's not in
trouble anymore.

It seems that some people
bought him out recently.

He's very healthy again.

Well, good. I'm happy for him.

But Tracy, uh, this
has got nothing to do

with Denver-Carrington, has it?

Well, I think, in
a way, it does.

You see, the people who bought

his wells formed this company.

Alexis Colby owns half, Lex.

The other half is a member
of your board, Dex Dexter.

Thank you. I appreciate
you telling me about this.

By the way, where'd
you get this information?

Oh, let's just say that
one of the first lessons

I learned in public
relations was

you need to establish
contacts. The best possible.

This one paid off.

Tracy, I am very impressed

with the work
that you are doing.

Keep it up.

Oh, you can be sure
I will, Mr. Carrington.

I-I feel about your company
as if it were my own home.

And I wanna make sure
that my welcome always stays

as warm here as you're
making me feel right now. Heh.

A lovely warmth.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(phone buzzes)

Yes?

MAN: Congressman McVane
is here to see you, Mrs. Colby.

Oh, send the ex-congressman in.

Hello, Alexis.

Hello, Neal. Come in.

Well, come all the way in, Neal,

unless you've got a nostalgia
for that particular spot.

That's where you
tried to strangle me

one memorable night.

Alexis, when I heard
that you agreed to see me,

I thought that we were gonna let

bygones be just that.

We are, Neal.

But since I don't have
a great deal of time,

I'm gonna come
straight to the point.

I understand from Mimi Harrison

that you've been talking
to her husband about me.

About how I am looking for a
top consultant in Washington

when that Canadian tar-sands
deal comes through, right?

Right.

As you know, I
have many influential

and knowledgeable
friends in Washington.

Oh, I do know that, Neal.
That's why you're here.

Well, Alexis, that pleases me.

I can't tell you how much.

Jay Davenport or Martin Curtis?

What?

I understand that they're
the best men available.

Very influential,
very knowledgeable.

I'd appreciate your advice

on which one of them to choose.

Something wrong?

You know exactly what's wrong.

I am the best man for this job,

and you were the one
who ruined me, damn it!

And now you owe me!

Owe you?

I don't owe you or
anyone else a thing.

(door opens)

Oh. I've had your
necklace fixed, Alexis.

Just leave it with
my secretary, Mark.

Oh, and Mark,
another little job for you.

Please escort
Mr. McVane out of my office

and out of my building.

Now, just a minute, Alexis.

Get out of my sight,
you miserable has-been.

( dramatic theme playing)

(funky music playing
over speakers)

Here's to Alexis Colby,
the woman with nine lives.

She's still walking
around, Jennings.

And neither of us like
that very much, do we?

Speak for yourself, McVane.

Oh.

Now look, I seem to
recall you were arrested

because she had you
high on her list of suspects,

people who threatened her life.

But k*lling is too
good for Alexis.

The real answer is blackmail.

Hit her where she
lives, in the check book.

Oh, I would love to
bring her to her knees

and leave her to suffer
the way she left me.

You think she's got
that much to hide?

Oh.

There must be lots of dirt
where that one comes from.

And who better
to find out about it

but the man who is
with her most of the time?

Me? How about it?

All you have to do is
get it, bring it to me.

And together, we will bury her.

Forget it, McVane.

My fingernails are clean,

I'd like to keep them that way.

Now look, If that's
because of some feeling

of loyalty for the lady,

you forget, she's just
keeping you around

because she thinks
she needs you.

When she decides she doesn't,

you are going to be sacked.

I promise you.

Think about it, Jennings.

And don't worry
about your nails.

I know the best
manicurist in town.

( dramatic theme playing)

( mellow theme playing)

Where are you taking her?

To Surgery.

We've got to take the baby now

or we could lose the mother.

I'll wait outside
the operating room.

That's not allowed.

You'll be much
more comfortable...

I'm not talking
about comfortable.

Adam, Adam, Adam.
Listen, Kirby is gonna

come through this all right.

I've known her a lot
longer than you have

and I love her a lot too.

She's a fighter.

She always has been,

ever since she was a little kid.

We all went on a
camping trip once.

Kirby couldn't have been more

than about or years old.

And she decided
she was going to ride

a canoe down the rapids alone.

Well, she did.

And hours later,
we had just about

given up hope of
ever finding her.

Until we heard a little voice:

"Hey, guys. Over here."

And we saw her
clinging to a rock,

smiling through her shivering.

She said, "Don't look so scared,

I'm not. Just come
and get me, fast."

Thanks, Steven.

It's good to have a brother.

But it's gonna take
more than courage

to get Kirby and the
baby through this.

It's gonna take a miracle.

( dramatic theme playing)

Welcome back.

( romantic theme playing)

(both moaning)

(gasps)

Did your visit to Utah
inspire this grand passion?

Well, let's call it
inspiration for telling

Blake Carrington to go to hell.

I stopped by my hotel, I
found a message from him,

phoned him back,
and he is very sorry.

Oh, Oscar Stone, maybe?

Oh, Oscar Stone, definitely.

Well, I'm seeing your
ex-spouse this afternoon

and I am telling him
that not anything,

not anyone, is gonna
stop you and me.

Good. What'd you bring?

A little something
the masses refer to

as burgers and fries.

I don't like you
skipping lunch, Alexis.

But before we have
the main course,

how about a hot hors d'oeuvre,

specialty of the
House of Dexter.

( romantic theme playing)

KRYSTLE: Claudia,
you did a fantastic job

arranging the luncheon.

Oh, thanks. I guess it goes

with the title banquet manager.

But I wanted to
really make it nice.

Mrs. Carrington.

I was delivering
something to your office

and I found this.

It was in my office?

No, outside the door.

Thank you, Greg.

( suspenseful theme playing)

What's the matter, Claudia?

You look as if
you've seen a ghost.

Maybe I have.

This is the second
time this has happened.

It's the same flowers.

It's the same message.

"Remember, Lancelot."

And it's addressed
to Claudia Blaisdel,

not Claudia Carrington.

Matthew used to send
me violets from time to time.

He'd always sign
the card Lancelot.

I don't understand.

The first time it happened,

Steven thought it
was sent by someone

with a twisted sense of humor.

I think he's right.

I'm not so sure.

I never saw Matthew
after I was forced

to testify at Blake's trial.

Then I had that
accident with Lindsay

and I wound up in the hospital.

And then Matthew
took our daughter

and they were both gone.

Did you see him, Krystle?

I know that you both

meant something
to each other once.

Did he tell you how
much he hated me

for being with Steven?

Do you think this
is his revenge?

Claudia, Matthew is dead.

He d*ed in South America.

But these flowers

and this message didn't start

until after I was
married to Steven.

What is happening?

Is he back?

Is he trying to punish me?

No.

I think you have to push
this out of your mind.

Push it out of my mind? I tried.

I tried, I tried the first time,

but it stays.

It stays.

Just like the thought

that my little Lindsay
may not be dead.

It stays.

( dramatic theme playing)

Yes, Blake, I signed a
contract with Oscar Stone.

I was gonna make the
announcement in a day or so.

You mean, you and Alexis were.

That's right.

I'm curious. How
did you find out

about the deal?
I mean, this fast?

That doesn't matter.

Now, do you remember the warning

I gave you at the Carousel Ball,

when I found out
that you and Alexis

were partners in
an outside deal?

I remember the warning.

Something about how
I was on your board

and I shouldn't deal
with the competition.

Well, maybe you
remember my answer.

Namely that half my fortune
was made in joint ventures

and whom I dealt with
was no concern of yours.

You're wrong. Now, this deal

with Oscar Stone
may be small potatoes,

but it means a
conflict of loyalties,

and that's why I am concerned.

Now, I can't stop you
from making outside deals,

but I can damn well
kick you off my board.

I don't take orders
from you, Blake.

You want me off the board, kick.

( dramatic theme playing)

(intercom buzzes)

Yes?

NADINE (over speaker):
Mr. Carrington, your son just called.

They've taken Mrs.
Colby into surgery.

Thank you. I'm going right now.

Hello.

They told me I'd
find you in here.

I know. You wanna
get around to that dance

that we just never got
around to at the Carousel Ball.

Tracy, how well do
you know my father?

Sam Dexter? Heh-heh.

Not very well. Except
he's a very attractive man.

And I hope he's getting better.

Oh, he's coming along.

This may or may not surprise you

but he talked about
you quite a bit.

How flattering.

Referred to you
as an ambitious...

In fact, a hot-sh*t PR girl

who seemed to know exactly
where she was heading.

If and when Bill Rockwell
resigned, to the top.

Really?

Yeah, really.

Except it turned out Blake gave

the job to his wife.

His prerogative.

Prerogative? That's
not stopping you.

Meaning exactly what?

Oh, just that you're not
giving up on anything.

Like how you're making
yourself very valuable to Blake,

just in case Krystle
should decide

that she'd rather settle
back into that mansion

and leave the business
driving to drivers like us.

Hm. You have it all
figured out, don't you?

Now you tell me. Have I?

Heh, Dex.

This sudden fascination
you have with who I am

or what I might be craving,

does it have anything to do

with the fact that I
am on top of my job

and, because of
it, you're swimming

in some very hot
water these days?

Oh, it's hot.

But look, no burns.

(chuckles)

What are you doing?

Just keeping them supple,

in case the water
gets hotter and hotter.

And where did
you learn to do this?

Experience.

( mellow theme playing)

I told my father the truth

about Kirby and the baby

and he forgave me.

Do I dare tell him the rest?

If I don't,

if he finds out later?

I thought it was no
time for you to be alone.

Thank you.

Alone is how I've been feeling.

You've been at my
side through all of this.

And yet, inside,

I still feel alone.

Because no matter
how you reach out to me,

I can't take your hand,

when...

When what?

When my own aren't clean.

Adam, no matter what happened

between you and
Kirby that night,

you're doing everything you can

to make up for it.

It was wrong and
now you're trying

to right that wrong.

And if Kirby has forgiven you,

well, then you must
forgive yourself.

What happened with Kirby,

that... sin,

isn't the only sin
I've committed.

We, all of us, make mistakes.

Father, about Jeff.

About Jeff and the poisoning.

I...

You what?

I lied.

It was my idea,

not Mother's.

She knew nothing about it

until the night
before Jeff collapsed.

(sighs)

Son, I saw her name

on the purchase
order for that poison.

You're just operating
on raw nerves right now.

You don't know
what you're saying.

I know exactly what I'm saying.

She didn't know
what she was signing.

I did it, Father.

The whole thing was me.

It was my doing.

I only pray that it's not
too late to be forgiven.

That Kirby will be spared.

And my child.

(door opens and closes)

Mr. Carrington?

Kirby, is she...?

Kirby is alive.

And the baby?

It was a little girl.

Was?

I'm sorry. We lost her.

(sobbing)

I'm very sorry.

(sobbing)
