07x07 - The Mission

[bunniefuu]

DEX: We'll take her out by light plane
about ten miles outside the city.

- Are all arrangements set?
- Yeah.

Now, the prison where
they're holding Caress is here,

just outside Caracas.

These are plans of the place.
Caress' cell is this one.

[KRlSTlNA CRYlNG]

My little daughter's restless tonight
but Krystle's with her.

Now what are all these little shacks
that are around the prison?

That's where squatters live,

and where my contact, Saumell,
has infiltrated, here.

Now, I've used him before.
He's come through.

He's already bribed a guard and
I have access to the prison grounds

as soon as I get there.

- You mean as soon as we get there.
- No way.

I gotta keep you out of this one,
Nlake.

Now listen to me, damn it.

That was my idea to begin with.

And when Caress wrote,
she wrote to me for help.

Nlake, look, I need you here,
in case of an emergency,

to fly to Washington
if there's a snag,

to line up reinforcements
if we need them.

Meanwhile, this is our work.
We know what we're doing.

[SlGHS]

- Who is going with you?
- Clay Fallmont.

He's an expl*sives expert.
I need him.

expl*sives? That's out of the question.
There must be a better way.

There must be somebody
I can talk to down there.

You've tried that. You've tried
every reasonable approach.

This is our last option.

[SlGHS]

- When do you leave?
- Tomorrow morning. First thing.

Look, Nlake,
I know what's happening.

You're going after your brother, Nen,
and that one I share.

He's ruining Alexis' life
and I wanna go after him too.

Nut if I bring Caress back,
she'll be used to get Nen, not Alexis.

- Do we have a deal?
- You love her that much?

Yes.

All right. It's a deal.

- Krystle.
- Dex.

- I was just leaving. Good night.
- Good night.

Kristina's finally asleep.

You look tired. Come to bed, darling.

Could you hear
what we were talking about in here?

- In these small quarters? Of course.
- What do you think?

Well, I think Dex is right.

He and Clay are experts at this.

- And, well, you're more valuable here.
- Nut, Krystle, you know me.

You know I don't like other people
fighting my battles for me,

and this is my battle.

Blake, this is Dex's battle too.

Nesides, this is what he does best.
You must let him do it.

- What is this place?
- Ne still, senorita.

Why are you putting me here?
Answer me!

[SPEAKS lN SPANlSH]

[CARESS GRUNTlNG]

Why are you putting me here?
Please.

No questions. Silencio!

[SCREAMlNG]

Please. Somebody, help me, please.

Please. No. I've done nothing.

[SOBBlNG]

Please. I've done nothing.

Yes, I do know
that Mr. Dexter is gone.

Nut did he tell anybody
where he was going

and when he'll be back?

All right, well, have him call me as soon
as you hear from him. Thank you.

Don't worry, Alexis.

Your faithful lover is
probably out somewhere, playing.

I don't wish to discuss Dex with you.
Have you heard anything about Nlake?

I'm still working on it.

- It's late. What do you want?
- In a word? Absolution.

For your sins?

That's like Nero saying, "l didn't mean
to play with the matches."

[SNlCKERS]

Well, I didn't mean to thr*aten you
in order to keep our relationship alive.

- I do regret that.
- Do you?

I'm serious about this, Alexis.

Wanting us to be together
because I know you want that too.

You're wrong, Nen.
I want nothing from you.

I'm not talking about sex.

- I'm talking about business.
- What sort of business?

You need a consort.
You're hounded by fortune hunters.

I'll keep them away from you.
I'll be your loyal consort.

And, unlike Dex, I won't try to pull you
away from the world and power.

Necause if I know anything about you,
that's where your happiness lies.

To be a power player,
to be reckoned with.

[CHUCKLES]

- I already am.
- Oh, in Denver. In Colorado.

Maybe even in this country.
Nut I'm talking about the world, Alexis.

Tell me something, Nen,
where does your happiness lie, hmm?

Neing near you.

Damn it, Alexis,
you know what this is about.

I love you.
God help me, but I love you.

And what I want, I want for you.

So, what do you say?

I don't love you, Nen.

Nut if you can accept that,

then your idea intrigues me
and I'll consider it.

Is that a promise?

It's a maybe.

I'll accept that for now.

You'll pay for your threats, Nen.
That's my promise.

- Well, this is a first.
- What? My getting up before you?

- And practically at dawn.
- Ha, ha.

What's the matter,
didn't you enjoy your sleep last night?

Well, what there was of it
was terrific.

I gotta leave. I gotta go somewhere.

- For how long?
- Couple days.

Where?

Well, that is a big, dark secret.

Sammy Jo, I'm sorry, I can't tell you,
and I don't wanna lie.

- So let's just leave it at that, okay?
- I don't want you to go, Clay.

I like it here. Nut I don't live here.
And I do have a life of my own.

I was beginning to think
I was a part of your life.

- Sweetheart, you are.
- Then why all the mystery?

Why couldn't you tell me
about this last night?

Necause I had other things
on my mind. Like you.

Sammy Jo, you're tense.

You know, you've been very tense
the past few days, Sammy Jo.

There's more to this, isn't there?

No.

I'm just not used to
your creeping out of bed on me.

- Oh, is that it?
- Yup.

Okay. You don't wanna tell me,
I have more important things to do,

so I'll come back when you're ready
to get to the bottom of this.

DANA:
I thought we were going out for lunch.

Well, no, uh, ha, ha.
It's much too early for lunch.

[UPBEAT MUSlC
PLAYlNG ON STEREO]

[CHUCKLES]

[LAUGHS]

- Whose suite is this, Adam?
- Oh.

It belongs to a very nice guy
you just happen to know.

Hmm?

His name is Carrington.
Adam Alexander Carrington.

Really?
I though he lived at the mansion.

Well, he does.

Nut he couldn't very well
take you there, could he?

Not with your evil ex-boss, Nen,
lurking around.

Anyway, I think every grown man
needs a place he can call his own.

A pied-a-terre
to take all your girlfriends to?

I gather that you wouldn't like that,
not in the plural.

Ha, ha, not particularly, no.

It wouldn't make me feel special.
It would make me feel used--

Dana, Dana, Dana.

You're the first woman
I've ever brought here.

In fact, the reason for all this is you.

Do you really mean that?

I do.

Oh, I do.

Why don't we, uh,
take the afternoon off from work?

Play a little hookey.

SAMMY JO:
Thank you. Ahem.

Thank you.

I could tell on the phone
there was something bothering you.

What is it?

I haven't been myself these days.

It was the same way with Danny.

Are you saying
what I think you're saying?

I'm pregnant. Clay's the father.

And I'm scared of what he'll say
when he finds out.

I love him so much, Aunt Krystle.

I've never loved a man this much.

Well, he can't help but love you.

I'm not so sure.

The only thing
I'm sure about right now

is that I have a chance
to do something right.

Necause I have all the money
in the world.

I'm gonna keep this baby.

And I'm not gonna let anyone
take him from me.

I just want it to be me,
the baby and Clay.

- When's the baby due?
- I'm not sure.

Home pregnancy tests
only tell you so much.

You should see a doctor.

Those home pregnancy tests
aren't percent accurate.

Well, physically, I feel the same way
I did with Danny.

I missed my period.
And the test came up positive.

Okay, I'll see a doctor.

- Nut as far as Clay is concerned--
- One thing at a time, all right?

All right.

Do you mind? I'm cold.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

You could have fooled me.

[DANA CHUCKLES]

Maybe it's just my sneaky way
of wanting to stay close to you

for as long as possible.

- In fact, you know what I wish?
- What?

I wish we were up north tonight.
That it's the middle of winter,

there'd just been a huge
Montana blizzard,

and you'd have to hold me
in your arms like this

until we were rescued.

Is something the matter?

That's the second time
in the past few days

that you've talked about Montana.

The first time
you were even more specific.

You mentioned Nillings.

What do you know about the place?

That you grew up there
before you came to Denver.

- It was in all the newspapers.
- What else?

There's more, isn't there?

It's where I was born.
Where I grew up too.

Where I went to the same
high school as you.

- I don't remember you.
- Of course not.

I was Dana Waring, long straight hair
and hand-me-down clothes.

A girl who had a dream

that one day you would notice me,

Iook at me, maybe smile.

Because I was desperately
in love with you.

I followed you here to Denver.

I got a job in your father's company

just so that I might be able
to see you.

So that in some strange way,
I might be near you again.

Dana,

come here.

- Do you know what I wish?
- Hmm?

[CHUCKLES]

That we'd found each other sooner.
A lot sooner.

- Swear that to me, Adam.
- I swear.

On my life.

Now you've got to swear to help me
in my fight against Nen.

I can only win it
with specific information

from my father's private files.

You can get that information for me.

If you're worried about Nlake,

no harm will come to him
because of this.

I can promise you that.

So will you help me,

Dana?

[TELEPHONE RlNGS]

Hello?

Oh, yes, Dex, just a minute.

- Yes, Dex. How's it going?
- Nlake, everything's fine.

Clay and I met with Saumell.

Now, they've moved Caress
to Solitary.

But he knows exactly where she is.

We're hitting the place
tomorrow night.

Hitting the place?

Look, are you sure that there's nothing
I can do to help?

Look, Nlake,
I know what's eating you.

You still wish we could have found
some other way to handle this.

Only we can't.

- Now just wish us good luck instead.
- Yeah. Yes, you know l--

Just be careful, will you?

All right. Good luck.

ADAM:
Nlake calls it The Crater.

It was willed to him by his mother.
It's a large tract of land near Ramsen.

And it's not oil.

- Well, what is it?
- Natural gas.

- What do you think of that?
- It's obvious now. The pieces all fit.

Carrington's been going around town,
trying desperately to get backing

for something that he feels
has this enormous potential.

And your Lex-Dex partner, Mrs. Colby,
is probably in on this.

Dex?

- What's he got to do with it?
- Who knows?

Nut, uh, he was seen coming out
of the Carrington suite at the Carlton.

Two nights ago.

I want you to finish Blake off.

I want you to do everything you can
to ensure that

any of his potential backers
will lock their doors on him.

Picture him as a loser
trying to promote a scheme

that is absolutely worthless.

We're that confident
about the success of this thing.

It looks to me like
you have good reason to be confident.

Now let's talk money.
How much is this going to cost?

Fifty million. And I'm thinking about
a consortium of investors.

TYSON:
Well, that sounds good.

We shouldn't have any trouble.
We never have had in the past.

So let me round up my board
and then get back to you.

Good. We're looking forward
to hearing from you, Walt.

Ny the way, you do understand that
this has to be kept strictly confidential.

Oh, of course I do.

My people wouldn't want word
of this to leak out

any more than you would,
old friend.

Well, all in all you're in excellent shape,
Miss Reece.

Great. I want this baby to be the
healthiest, most beautiful in the world.

- I wanna do everything right.
- Good.

Then why don't we start
by establishing that you are pregnant.

I'm sure that you
and the father want that.

Yes. Nut if you're talking about a test,
I don't need another one.

Oh, we need something more sensitive
than a home test.

I'm gonna set up
an appointment for you.

- Tomorrow? Two o'clock?
- Mm-hm. Okay.

At the lab for a beta quantitative.

It's the most accurate.

- Here's the address.
- Thank you.

I want to do everything right.
This baby is very special to me.

- Good. You can get dressed now.
- Oh.

- Do you mean it, Mommy?
- Mm-hm.

In a little while you're gonna have
a baby brother or sister.

- Can I stay and play with it?
- We'll have a lot of fun together.

Nut for right now,
this has to be our little secret, okay?

What has to be a secret?

Daddy.

[GRUNTS]

- Daddy, I'm having a baby.
- Oh, you're having a baby, are you?

- Where's Nanny?
- In her room.

Okay. Well, why don't you go ask her
to take you to the park,

and then
we'll have some supper, okay?

- Okay.
- All right.

Am I supposed to guess
who the daddy is?

I think you know.

And I haven't told Clay yet,
if that's what you were gonna ask next.

But I love him and I want his baby.

- I also want...
- What? Go on. You want what?

Danny. He's so unhappy here.
You know that.

It's a new situation for him.

He's having a little bit of trouble
adjusting. He'll be fine.

Face it, Steven.
He'd be fine if he was with me

at the ranch where he belongs.
Not cooped up in this apartment.

You're never going to have him,
Sammy Jo.

Don't be so sure.

If I marry Clay Fallmont,
there isn't a court in this state,

or this country,
that's gonna keep my son from me.

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

Blake.

- I've been looking for you.
- Oh, have you?

Where's Dex?

Look, Nlake, I know you're working
on something together.

He was with you the other night
and he's disappeared.

He hasn't contacted me since.

- He will contact you.
- How do you know? When?

Nlake, if he's involved
in something dangerous,

- I want to know about it.
- I'm sorry, I can't help.

You mean you won't help me.

Look, I love him,
and I'm worried about him.

Surely, even you
can understand that.

I could understand it
if it was anyone else.

I don't believe you could love anyone

with the possible exception
of your children.

Nlake, I am so tired
of fighting with you.

All I know is that Dex is involved
in something dangerous.

Yeah. Maybe.

Nut you're not helping any
by coming here and asking questions.

You know, if you had acted
like a human being tonight,

I was going to do you
a very big favour.

- Nut now, forget it.
- It's forgotten.

Nesides, I've managed to do well
without favours from you.

Really?

Well, think about that when
you see my newspaper tomorrow.

And if anything happens to Dex,
you'll regret it.

[GUARD GRUNTS]

[GUARD GROANS]

Caress.

Caress. It's Dex.
I've come to take you out of here.

You're going to do what, senor?

Don't go for your g*n.

- Look, amigo--
- Don't move. Don't talk.

[GUNFlRE]

[BOTH GRUNTlNG]

[ALARM BLARlNG]

All right, let's go.
We blew a hole in the wall.

We can get out that way. Let's go.

Come on. Come on!

Move it.

What is it, darling?
Something wrong?

It's the Denver Mirror again.

"Some dinosaurs never die."

Alexis wins one round,
I win the next one,

then she counterattacks.

When is all this going to end?

When you and I do what she wants.

Pack up and leave Denver.

Except we're not going to.

And we're gonna get back
everything she's taken.

You bet we will.

And, meanwhile, this dinosaur
still has you.

I'm very grateful for that.
You'll never know how much.

I do know.

You have a lovely way of showing me,
over and over.

- Don't ever stop.
- I won't. How can l?

Now about this.

I didn't take this public relations job
just to brush up on my typing.

The public's gotta know the truth
about this Crater,

and I'm gonna get it out there
one way or another.

Then everyone will believe you
and not this filth.

- How about that?
- Ha, ha, wonderful.

In the meantime, I've got this meeting
with Walt Tyson this morning.

We're old friends, you know.

It looks pretty good
about getting that financing we need.

Do you think these headlines
will effect it in any way?

I don't think so.
I feel very good about this one.

I'm sorry. I'm real sorry, Nlake,
but the deal's off.

Well, go on, say it.

You believe Alexis Colby,
you don't believe me.

Nlake, if it were up to me and only me,
I'd be percent behind you.

I know, I know.
You've got investors to answer to.

- That's right. And a board.
- Well, I'd like to talk to them.

I'd like to answer their questions.

I'd like to tell them
what the facts really are.

Nut you're not gonna do that, you're
not gonna give me a chance, are you?

I can't.
There's nothing I can do, Nlake.

I'm sorry.

I'm still gonna fight this, Walt.

You can tell all those people around
that Nlake Carrington's not caving in.

That he's gonna keep fighting.
Do you understand that?

I'm not going to.

[DOOR CLOSES]

- Do you really blame him, Dad?
- What?

Everybody's wary, nervous.
Nusiness is tight.

Don't tell me you think that I'm gonna
roll over and play dead too?

No, of course not, but we've gotta
know that what Tyson just said in here

is what they're saying in the boardroom
of every firm we've contacted.

[lNTERCOM BUZZES]

Yes?

Yes, Nick. What is it?

Well, now look--

No.

Now, don't do anything.
I'll meet you out there.

Wait for me, do you understand?
Wait.

Nick.

I saw the Denver Mirror
this morning.

So did every man, woman and child
in Denver.

Is that why you want out?

Look, I'm as teed-off
about this garbage as you are, Nlake.

But we Kimballs
have always been realists.

You know my father was.
I am too.

Let me get this straight.

Are you suggesting
that I drop this whole Crater project?

Is that what you mean
by being realistic?

No. I just hate funerals.

Now, Nick,
you read the geological reports.

They're right on the money.

Nut they're talking about
what's under the ground.

We're on top,
with no way to get down there.

We'll find a way to get down there.

Now, I believe in this.
I'd stake my life on it.

I tell you, there's something...

There's something very special
about this land.

It's as if it were a part of my destiny.

I can't just push it aside,
I can't turn away from it.

I can't.

All right. I'll stay on.

- Good. Good, I'm glad.
- For now, Nlake.

I'm flattered you brought this material
yourself, Mrs. Carrington.

Well, I wanted to see you in person,
Mr. Wales.

- Why, to give me hell?
- No.

To tell you that I used to respect you
as a reporter,

and I'm hoping
that I can respect you again.

You see, everything that you've written
about The Crater so far is fiction.

And I suppose this is the truth.

The truth according to whom?
Nlake Carrington and his wife?

The good wife who's trying to cover up
her husband's terrible lies.

I want to congratulate you, Gordon,
on this morning's article in the paper.

You keep this up, you'll be getting
the Pulitzer Prize for journalism.

KRYSTLE:
Journalism. Good, honest reporting.

I'm sure that has a special meaning
for you, Mr. Wales.

How do you feel about
her trampling on it?

Don't answer her.

I don't like you coming to my office.

I also don't like
you coming into this building,

so, please, don't do it again.

You didn't answer my question.

Isn't journalism a respectable
profession that this woman is defiling?

I'm not gonna get involved in
an argument between the two of you.

Strange.

The Gordon Wales I remember
used to get involved in everything.

I'm afraid she's corrupted you,

just like she corrupts everything
she touches.

Krystle, I think you better leave
this office

before I have you thrown out.

What, and give you another
juicy headline for your rag?

Oh, I'm leaving, Alexis.

Nut you're not through
hearing from me.

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

NLAKE: What do you want here, Nen?
- It's a nice day.

I thought I'd take a drive.

And along the way it occurred to me,

why don't I go out and see what
my brother's secret project's all about?

I don't know how
you found out about this.

Nut I do know you must have pulled
another one of your dirty tricks,

getting Alexis to print that story
in this morning's paper.

Come on, Nlake.

You should know
Alexis better than that.

Nobody gets her to do anything.
She just does it.

So this is what the secrecy's all about.
The land Mama left you.

I still don't know why she gave it to you
and not to me.

She gave it to me because she knew
that I wouldn't gamble it away.

She knew what she doing, Nen.
She knew you.

No, she didn't.

Necause you always made sure
to turn her against me

so she'd never love anyone but you.

You're wrong. She did love you.

She knew your weaknesses
but she was a forgiving woman.

As forgiving as she was beautiful.

She would even have forgiven you
for letting her die in that fire.

But I won't.

You're gonna settle the score,
is that it?

That's it. My score and hers.

How, Blake? I'm curious.
Exactly how?

Why don't you wait and read about it
in the newspaper?

- Welcome to the Carlton Hotel.
- It's so very good to be here.

In fact, you could say
I'm here with a vengeance.

Oh, Dex. Dex, where have you been?
What happened to your arm?

- It's nothing.
- Well, have you seen a doctor?

It's nothing. Just a scratch.
We'll talk about it some other time.

Nlake had something to do with this,
didn't he?

I don't wanna talk about Nlake
or anybody else right now.

- I wanna talk about it now.
- I don't.

And are you gonna tell me
where you've been?

What's important is where I am now
and who I am with right now.

[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR]

- Yes? Who is it?
NLAKE: Nlake. May I come in?

Yes, of course.
Will one of you please let him in?

Oh, thank you.

- Hello, Caress.
- Hello, Blake.

We're all finished here.
I just, uh, sign for the tip.

[SPEAKS lN FRENCH]

It's good to see you.
Welcome home.

Oh, it's wonderful to be here.

- Will you have some champagne?
- No, no, thank you.

Oh, by the way, I've ordered
a few things from the hotel boutique,

and put them on your tab.
I hope you don't mind.

Nut, well, I felt like celebrating.

I can understand it
after what you've been through.

Ny the way, I've asked somebody
from the DA's office

to meet us here at the hotel.
Is that all right?

Why, yes, of course.
I shall be ready.

Blake.

I want you to know I shall never forget
what you've done for me.

No, you were my only chance
and you made it happen.

This miracle, my being free again.

Somehow, some way I knew
that if it ever did happen,

you would be the one
to make it possible.

I suppose I trusted you.
I always have.

Thank you. That's very nice to hear.

I trusted another man once.
The results were a whole lot different.

Zach Powers.

- You know him?
- Oh, yes, indeed I do.

You don't seem enthusiastic
about him.

I'm far from that.

Ah.

So you do know him then.

Rich and powerful.
But a man who can be so totally cruel.

You helped me.

He put me in that stinking jail
in the first place.

And left me there to rot.

Zach Powers has never helped
anybody but himself.

Caress, that's all in the past.

We have to start thinking now
about the future.

Getting even with Nen. Oh, yes.

We'll get brother Nen all right.

- I'm glad you came back.
- I'm glad I am back.

Oh, I mean here.

You were pretty angry
when you left the other day.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah, I guess I was.
Nut this is another day.

You know, Nlake Carrington
is very special to me.

If I knew you were doing something
to help him, I would have understood.

And not been worried?

Of course I would have been worried.
You might have been in trouble.

Or because I might have been
having more fun with someone else?

- You're terrible.
- You didn't say that five minutes ago.

If you think you can have more fun
with someone else, feel free.

You know,
I might take you up on that.

I mean, there must be more than one
fair damsel

who'd at least give me a tumble.

Who knows?
With luck, maybe even three or four.

- What are you doing?
- I have an appointment.

- With whom?
- I'll tell you about it later.

I'm late as it is.

Sammy Jo, I'm a hero.

You're not walking out on my parade,
are you?

Let those other damsels throw
the confetti and play the trombones.

I gotta get going.

Listen, Sammy Jo, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it about another girl.

And as far as the mission goes,
they swore me to secrecy.

If other people's lives weren't involved,
I would have told you everything.

- You gotta believe that.
- Maybe I do.

- Well, that's better than a no.
- It wasn't a yes.

- Sammy Jo.
- What?

You're looking at
one very lonely hero.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

[SAMMY JO SQUEALS]

So that's her story, Mr. Ferguson.

Miss Morell was kidnapped
by my brother,

he caused her to be
illegally imprisoned in Caracas.

It's as clear-cut as that.

May I ask you why you're bringing this
to my attention?

Well, you're the
assistant district attorney, aren't you?

At my trial you made a big point
about how interested you are in justice.

Well, this is your chance to prove it.

Mr. Carrington,
I am interested in justice.

Nut you apparently want revenge.

How many years
did you spend in prison?

Five. Five horrible years.

The charge, Miss Morell?

m*rder. Nut I was not guilty.

I suppose you were railroaded,
that it was a miscarriage of justice.

Well, yes, it was.

How did you get out of prison
the first time?

- My sentence was commuted.
- I see. Why, and by whom?

- Well, I'd written a book--
- About your sister, Alexis Colby.

Go on.

The people who were going
to publish it intervened on my behalf.

In other words, they supplied
the money to get you out.

Look, I don't know any of the details.
Only that I was ecstatic to be out.

Now you're asking the
District Attorney's Office to believe

that Nenjamin Carrington
kidnapped you,

somehow managed to fly you to
Venezuela and had you put into prison.

All this when there's no record
that any of it took place.

Nut my word is your record.

Heh. Don't you think it's strange...

that we haven't received
word of your escape?

Mr. Ferguson,
you haven't received word

because there are no records
that Miss Morell was there.

Don't you think that's odd?

Venezuela usually cooperates with
the United States in criminal cases.

Like other countries,
including the United States,

Venezuela has its share
of corrupt officials.

Miss Morell was being illegally
held there by one of them.

All right. Who got her out?

I can't tell you that unless you agree to
grant immunity to the people involved.

Immunity?
On the basis of what I've heard here?

Heh, you have to be joking,
Mr. Carrington.

Do you have any proof
to back up any of this?

- I am the proof.
- I'm sorry, that's not enough.

Are you saying that Miss Morell
doesn't have a case?

FERGUSON:
That's what I'm saying.

What you have is the word of a woman
who is a convicted murderess,

against the word of your brother,
who happens to be a respected man

in this community.

When you have hard facts,
get in touch with me.

Until then,
please don't waste my time.

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

I thought with Caress' help
that I'd get Nen.

Looks like he's beaten me
once again.

Well, just because the
District Attorney's Office won't help

doesn't mean it's over.

And you still have this land.

You know,
I was out here this morning.

Ben drove up.

We went at one another, as always.

Sometime later I thought to myself,
"Why did it have to come to this?"

Two brothers.

It could have been so different
between us.

When we were kids, he used to
follow me around like a little puppy.

I taught him how to throw
a good curve ball.

How to bait a hook.

[CHUCKLES]

He was the proudest kid
in the whole state of Colorado

the day he caught his first fish.

And he hugged me.
And he said, "l love you, Nlake."

Now today
he's helping to destroy me.

How did it happen?

Nlake, please,
don't let him do this to you.

Don't worry darling. He won't, no.

And you're right.
I still have the land.

And the answer is here.

And I'm gonna make it work.
I don't know how yet.

I'll find a way.

MlCHAEL:
Mm.

- Michael.
- Himself. Hi.

- I thought you'd gone out of town.
- I did for a few days.

Flew down to New Orleans
on some business.

I have missed the heck out of you.

- Let's go.
- I can't.

If you're worried about your father,
he can't fire me again.

It has nothing to do
with the other night. I'm busy.

Nut it does have to do
with Nlake Carrington.

Those charges against him
in the Mirror, right?

- How'd you know?
- I'm brilliant.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Amanda, your father's going to need
more than answers.

He's gonna need money.

- He'll get it.
- Nut when? He needs it fast.

Maybe I can help.

Exactly how much is it going to take
for him to go ahead with his project?

I see. You're very rich.

Heh. In passion, yes.

Mm, in money? Maybe.

You're not really a chauffeur.

Driving's just my cover.
That's very good, Amanda.

[AMANDA CHUCKLES]

Well, now, tell me. How much?

Fifty million dollars.
Do you think you can raise it?

Who knows?
I mean, anything's possible, right?

I wanna make a person-to-person
call to Los Angeles.

Zach Powers.

Number is area code
- - .

Thank you.

Zach. Michael Culhane.

No, I'm not in L.A.
I'm in Denver.

You owe me one, Zach,
and I'm calling in my marker.

I need you here,
and I need you now.
