07x09 - The Secret

[bunniefuu]

MlCHAEL:
All right, all right.

Carrington.

Where's my daughter?

She's taking a shower.

She is?

Mr. Carrington, if you'll just let me
tell you what's going on.

Tell me what?

I know you saved my daughter's life,
I'm indebted to you for that.

Nut I'm not gonna stand by
and let her be the payment.

Now, wait a minute.

What happens between Amanda
and me is our business.

Nothing is going to happen between
you and Amanda, is that clear?

I'm trying to protect my daughter.

I don't think
she wants your protection.

Why don't you get wise to yourself,
Mr. Carrington?

Your daughter is not a little girl,
she's a woman.

She lives her own life and makes up
her own mind, you have to accept that.

I don't have to accept anything.
Not from you, Culhane.

I know who you are,
I know how you operate.

I am not going to let that happen
to my daughter.

You may have some trouble
convincing her of that

because she understands
how I feel about her.

And she feels safe with me.

Safe? From someone
who's trying to take advantage of her?

Wait a second. That's not true.

She wanted me to go
to your party tonight, but I wouldn't.

Necause I didn't wanna take
advantage of her.

Necause I didn't feel I belonged,
Mr. Carrington.

I didn't feel I was good enough.

That's right, Daddy, he didn't.

Michael, would you leave us alone
for a few minutes?

Please?

Sure.

I see that you've carried out
your thr*at,

you've moved in with him.

That's right,
but I don't wanna talk about that.

I wanna talk about Michael.

He was wrong about not going
to your party tonight.

He is good enough.

Amanda, what am I supposed to do?

Am I supposed to stand by
and watch you get hurt?

Oh, Daddy, please.
Just let me be happy.

I don't wanna lose you. Please.

You're not gonna lose me.

No matter what happens,
you're not gonna lose me.

What are you doing here?

[SlGHS]

Curiosity.

You showed up at the Carlton tonight
with Zach Powers.

You made sure
that I saw you with him.

Why?
You trying to make me jealous?

[LAUGHS]

I've got better things to do with my life
than to try and make you jealous.

[SCOFFS]

You know, I can't imagine what you
could possible see in Zach Powers.

Obviously, since you're alone,
it was nothing.

[CHUCKLES]

Actually, it's none of your business.

When I called you
on your dealings with Nlake,

you told me that
we each had our own private lives.

So we'll see each other
when we want to,

and you don't control me.

You keep on playing your little game
with Zach Powers,

and you'll see
how soon you'll need me.

Dexter.

Leaving so soon? You just arrived.

No, no, you have just arrived,
and I wouldn't bother to unpack.

Oh, I moved in long ago.

Why don't you give it up, Dexter?
You're not the man for Alexis.

[CHUCKLES]

"Not the man."

I have played in the dirt
with better bums than you.

You haven't seen anything yet.

[PHONE RlNGS]

Hello?

CARESS [OVER PHONE]:
Emily?

It's Caress.

I'm ready for the first payment.

I told you, I don't have any money.

Your husband does.

I can't go to Nuck about this.

I wish there was some other way,
but there isn't.

I've got to survive too.

- Please.
- I'm sorry, Emily.

I'll call you tomorrow,

and let you know where
and when to meet me.

- Tomorrow?
- And, Emily, don't go to Nen again.

I don't want to reveal your secret,

but if I have to, I will.

Wait.

[SlGHS]

- Hey.
- Oh.

Who was that on the phone,
sweetheart?

No one.

Well, now that's interesting.

[LAUGHS]

I got a wife who spends more time
talking to nobody

than she does her own husband.

[CHUCKLES]

Buck.

- What do you want?
- Emily, what's the matter with you?

You're all upset.

You're not angry with me
about that dinner, are you?

Well, you might as well have thrown
Sammy Jo out of the house.

And your son along with her.

My son has got rotten taste.

That's not fair.

- Sammy Jo is a lovely girl.
- She's still a Carrington.

No matter what she calls herself, it
doesn't matter, she's still a Carrington.

And if that son of mine decides
to invite her back to this house,

I will throw him out.

Nlake Carrington's suite, please.

[DOOR OPENS]

[SlGHS]

- Did you find her?
- Yes, she was with Michael.

She wouldn't listen.

I tried, but nothing I said
made any difference.

Well, she has a mind of her own.
And she's in love.

Yes, with a man who's gonna
take advantage of her,

make her life miserable.

I'm sorry about this evening.

The party and everything was...

Was so wonderful
to have to end this way.

Can I get you something?
Some brandy, tea?

No, thank you.

[SlGHS]

Fathers and daughters.

Darling, you can't make her
see things your way.

She's gonna have to find out
for herself.

[SlGHS]

Yes, I'm sure you're right,

but it's not easy for fathers
to see things that way.

Oh, Emily Fallmont called.

- She sounded terribly upset.
- Upset about what?

Well, I don't know.
I tried to get her to tell me,

but all she'd say is she wants to meet
you tomorrow morning downstairs at .

- I wonder if...
- If what?

Well, if it's her marriage.

Um, at lunch the other day,

I had the feeling that there was
something about her husband

that was worrying her,
even frightening her.

Clay?

- What are you doing?
CLAY: I couldn't sleep.

You usually sleep like a rock.
What's changed?

[SlGHS]

We have.

- Look, Sammy Jo, I care for you--
- Care?

I'm gonna have your baby
and you care for me? That's all?

[SlGHS]

I wanna do what's right,
but my gut is turning inside.

It's like my whole life has been decided
for me, regardless of how I feel.

I see. And the baby?

I want you to have an abortion.

We've gone from me deciding your life
to you deciding mine, feel better?

Sammy Jo, I don't wanna hurt you--

Worry about yourself, Clay.
I'll take care of me.

And for right now,
maybe you should leave.

I'll sleep much better alone.

I'm not blaming you, Nlake.

I know when you got that letter
from Caress,

you had to get her out of prison.

But...

Unless she's stopped,
she's gonna destroy my marriage.

Maybe even my life.

I won't let her do that to you, Emily,
but you've got to trust me.

I don't have that kind of money,
I never will have.

And she's never gonna stop.

You're all I have left, Nlake.

Will you please help me?

I said that I wouldn't let her
do that to you, and I won't.

- Nut you've got to promise--
- I can't.

- You've got to promise me--
- I can't promise anything.

[SHUDDERS]

Her hands were--
Were shaking just like this.

I tried to calm her,
but she was out of control.

Nut you told her
you'd speak with Caress?

Yes, and that's just the problem.
Caress has checked out of the hotel,

no phone number,
no forwarding address.

I've got to find her.

I got to stop her before
she drives Emily to the breaking point.

[SlGHS]

[lNTERCOM BUZZES]

Yes?

[SlGHS]

Send her in, please.

I'll get right to the point, Nlake.
Since I am Amanda's mother--

Yes, and you chased her out
of your life, remember?

Did you or did you not
find her last night?

- I did.
- Well, thanks for telling me.

I think that you owe it to me
to tell me if our children are in trouble.

Isn't it a little late for you
to be riding out to their rescue?

I'm not leaving here until I find out
what's going on with Amanda.

She is seeing someone,
a man I don't approve of.

And I'm trying very hard to keep her
from getting hurt the way Fallon was.

Nut they're both totally different girls.

Well, different or not, she's in love with
Michael Culhane, my ex-chauffeur.

Who, some years ago, seduced Fallon
for his own advancement,

and then when he found out
it was a lost cause, he dropped her.

Now he's after Amanda.

I had no idea.

Alexis, I am very busy,
so if that's all--

No, it's not all.

I don't want to see Amanda hurt
any more than you do.

Don't worry, I'm trying my damnedest
to make sure that she isn't.

I'm looking
into Mr. Culhane's background

to see what he's been doing
these past five years.

I think I can do that better
and faster than you can, Nlake.

May l?

[PHONE KEYS TAPPlNG]

Hello, this is Alexis Colby here.

I have an assignment for you.

I want you to find out everything
that you can about a Michael Culhane.

Yes. He used to be a chauffeur
for Nlake Carrington.

Find out everything he's been doing
in the past five years.

[SlGHS]

We still have our children in common,
Nlake.

Like it or not, we're in this together.

Oh, thanks for the use of the phone.

You father seemed rather put out last
night that you didn't go to the dinner.

- I did, but it was over.
- Hmm.

Everything all right
between you and your father?

I guess.

If I behave myself.

Hmm.

If Nlake thinks you're not behaving,

it must be because
there's a man involved, hmm?

Want to tell me about him?

He's wonderful and I love him.

[CHUCKLES]

I suppose Nlake doesn't think
he's good enough for you.

Well, I tried to warn you all along.
Live by his rules, or else.

That's why I want you
to come live with me.

- I've moved in with Michael.
- "Michael," huh?

So that's his name.

And you obviously love him, so I'll...
I'll try and talk to your father.

- You'd do that for me?
- Well, of course I would.

I mean, unlike Nlake, I don't
put conditions on your happiness.

Darling, please, make sure
that you are really in love this time

before you do anything foolish.

I don't want to see you hurt again.

And then when he told me
that he didn't want the baby,

that he didn't want me,

I told him to leave.

I didn't want him to.

I wanted him to take me in his arms
and to...

To stay with me.

Sweetheart, maybe you love what you
want him to be, and not what he is.

Krystle, he's gotta love me.

This is his baby.

A baby he doesn't seem to want.

[CHUCKLES]

But I do.

What's gonna happen to the child?

I know what it's like
not to be wanted.

To spend days alone,

and nights waiting for someone
to tuck me in, to tell me they love me.

Nut your mother adored you.

Yeah, but she d*ed so soon.

And then she left me with Frank.

I want my child to have two parents.

Sammy Jo, life doesn't come wrapped
in a neat package.

Look at you,

you've gone through the pain,
and you've grown from it.

You have so much to offer.

To Clay.

And all he wants is the abortion.

And you don't.

I don't wanna lose him.

I love him.

Maybe to the point of obsession.

Nut you have another life
to consider.

Sammy Jo, it's your decision.

Nut whatever it is,
you're going to have to be strong.

I've got a very busy schedule, Dex.
You wanted to talk, go ahead.

I think it's time we joined forces.

What?
In one of your Robin Hood rescues?

Yeah, in a way. Rescuing Alexis.
She needs both of us.

She doesn't need you, Dex.
She divorced you.

What do you wanna do about it then,
Adam? Leave her to Nen?

If you and I don't get together on this,
she's gonna be at Nen's mercy.

Mother has never been
at anyone's mercy.

Do you wanna take that chance?

Adam, you're around your uncle
all the time.

You have access to him,
how he thinks, how he acts.

For your mother's sake,
we've got to join forces.

I don't like him any more than you do,
it's true.

You really think
she's in some kind of danger?

I do.

He's got a hold on her, Adam,

and we've got to find out what it is.

What do you want here, Nen?

Well, big brother has a new toy.

A toy that's going to blow you
and Alexis right out of the water.

I asked you,
what do you want here?

I have a message for Caress.

Tell her to stay clear
of Emily Fallmont.

Sorry to disappoint you,
but I don't know where she is.

Even if you did,
you wouldn't tell me, would you?

That's right.

Still trying to protect that little
precious world of yours, aren't you?

When are you gonna realise, Nlake,
that life isn't like this model of yours?

You can't just mould it
into what you want.

I protect the people I love, Nen,
from people like you.

You don't even know me.

You turned your back on me
a lifetime ago.

You took everything,
even your damned love.

My God.

Don't you think I wanted to love you?
You're my brother.

[SlGHS]

Ben,

don't you remember the dreams
that we had?

Dreams of great adventures
that we were going to share.

You remember those,
don't you, Nen?

Yes, but they were your dreams,
Nlake.

You, always you.
You made me believe in them

and then you snatched them away
from me.

No, it wasn't your love you took,
it was those dreams.

But you can still have them.

You've got intelligence
and drive and ambition.

Why don't you put those wonderful
qualities into something positive?

Something good and decent.

[SCOFFS]

Good and decent.

You always were the moraliser,
weren't you, Nlake?

Well, you live your way, I'll live mine.

As I always have,
with no help from you.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR SLAMS]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

- Miss Prentice?
- Yes.

- Hi, how are you? Come on in.
- Thank you.

I'm sorry late, I got lost.

Oh, no problem. Um, sit down.

I understand
that you just moved to Denver.

Yes, after spending
the last five years in Europe.

And, oh, in between unpacking
my apartment

and trying to get things organised
at the nursery school, l...

I guess I just wasn't exactly with it.

Now, you called because
you're concerned about Danny, right?

Is he here right now?

No, he's, uh, out with his nanny.

As a therapist,
I've been watching Danny.

I've been observing his behaviour
with the other children.

And, frankly, Mr. Carrington,
he seems withdrawn to me.

Well, he may be a little shy.

No, it's not just that.

Would you look at these, please?

Danny drew these.

[SlGHS]

There's signs of trouble
in these drawings, Mr. Carrington.

The adults at a distance,
the child with no face.

Now, the children were asked
to draw a park

and most had blue skies,
green grass.

Danny's is dark and lifeless, isn't it?

Well, there's emotion in that sky,
but the tree seems dead, yes.

STEVEN:
The house has no doors, no windows.

Imagine.

CLAlRE:
There's no way to get in or out.

[SlGHS]

Listen, I would like to spend
some special time with Danny.

Talking to him, listening to him.
One on one.

Of course.

You spend this much time
with all your students?

It's what I do, Mr. Carrington,
and I like doing it.

Now, I have, um, studied the records,

and I see that you and your wife
are divorced.

Are there any ongoing
problems there?

- Like what?
- Anger. Arguments.

Anything that Danny
could pick up on.

Miss Prentice, um...

[SlGHS]

My ex-wife and I are very careful

to keep our feelings about each other
private from Danny.

Yes, I understand that.

Nut, you know, sometimes
there are special circumstances

that can affect a child.

Is there anything
that I should know about?

No, nothing special.
We were incompatible, that's all.

If you're looking for
some hidden reason--

Mr. Carrington,
I'm really just trying to help Danny.

I know, I'm sorry.

Whatever you can do, please.

Thank you.

CLAY:
Sammy Jo?

I'm in here.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I got your message.

Are you all right?

I've made a decision, Clay.

I love you,

but with or without you,

I'm going to have the baby.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

I see.

Is that all you can say?

I told you before how I felt.

What did you expect?

I don't know, l, uh...

I had this great fantasy,

that you'd sweep me in your arms
and shower me with kisses.

You know something, Sammy Jo?

Maybe our whole relationship
has been a fantasy to you.

But I love you.

If you love me so much, why
do you keep trying to control my life?

[SlGHS]

This baby is just as much
your responsibility as mine.

I know that, I admit it.

Then what are you afraid of?
Of being a father?

Or of being Sammy Jo's husband?

What are you talking about?

Oh, we're great
behind closed doors.

"Pull down the shades, Sammy Jo.
Turn out the lights."

You're ashamed of me, aren't you?

You don't think I'm good enough
to be a Fallmont, neither is the baby.

- That's not true.
- lsn't it?

I think it is.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

[SlGHS]

[DOOR OPENS]

This is the last of the letters.
All I need is your signature.

Is that all? May I leave now?

Dana,
I know that I've kept you working late,

but I have a confession to make.

It had nothing to do with business.

I'm hoping that a late supper
might give me a chance.

- To do what?
- To say, forgive me.

For betraying my trust, Adam?
Thank you, but I'd prefer to go home.

Dana, Dana, Dana, don't. Don't.

I feel

I can be myself with you.

I feel

safe with you.

Look, if you want me to grovel,
I'll grovel.

- Oh, I'd love to see you grovel.
- Well, maybe just beg a little.

Mother's having a party at the house.

The Black and White Ball,
Denver's first families.

I beg you to come with me.

Now, why would you wanna
take me there?

To show all of Denver
how much you mean to me.

I'll wheel you in on a pedestal.

So I can be on equal footing
with your mother?

She's a strong woman, Adam.

- If she doesn't like me, I don't care--
- She will, she'll like you.

This time it's gonna be different.

What do you mean, "this time"?

Nothing.

All right, all right.

There was this girl

with long dark hair, and eyes...

She's out of my life now,
thanks to Alexis.

And, Dana, I promise you,
that's not going to happen to us.

Promise.

NLAKE: Emily.
- Oh, Nlake.

They told me you'd be coming back
here tonight, I had to wait.

- I couldn't leave without seeing you.
- Of course, yes.

- Sit down, won't you?
- Oh.

- Can I get you some coffee?
- No, thank you, no.

Caress called again.

She did? Where is she?
I've been trying to find her.

She gave me the address of a hotel.

And I'm supposed
to meet her there tonight.

- With a hundred thousand dollars.
- A hundred thousand dollars?

- I don't have that kind of money.
- Well, of course you don't.

But l...

I have some jewellery,
but it's not worth much.

But memories,

I mean,
they must be worth something.

[EMlLY SlGHS]

Nuck gave me this
for our fifth anniversary.

This was all he could afford
at the time.

Well, that's hers. Everything is hers.

If she'll just leave me alone.

No, no.

Emily, you're not gonna
give Caress anything.

Do you understand?

Well, then tell me what to do.
I can't face her.

You won't have to.

Give me the address of that hotel,
I'll do it.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

- Nlake.
- Are you going to invite me in?

Or would you rather conduct business
in the hallway in front of witnesses?

No, no, of course not. Come in.

- Please, sit down.
- No, thank you.

I've been trying to find you all week.

Oh, really? Why?

Why are you doing this?

Why are you trying to destroy
Emily Fallmont?

I'm trying to save myself.

How? Ny ruining her marriage?
Ny ruining her reputation?

You lost a fortune and your reputation
because she wouldn't tell the truth.

She had nothing to do with that.

Caress, you wrote me a letter,
pleading with me

to help you to get out of that prison.
Do you remember that?

And I'm grateful for that,
I always will be grateful.

Well, then don't do this.

You've got to start your own life now,
and destroying Emily will not help.

And what about me?

I always used to think:

"Live your life fairly, be honest
with everyone, that's all it takes."

Nlake, I didn't k*ll anybody,
but I was accused of it and convicted.

I lost five years of my life.

Now, somehow I am going
to be paid back for what I lost.

If it's money you need,
then I'll help you.

Nen is the one who should be helping,
not you.

Oh, Nlake, I don't want to hurt her,
I never did.

It's going to be my way, or nothing.

Now, I will give you the money
to start all over again somewhere else.

Nut you have got
to promise me something.

That Emily Fallmont
will never hear from you again.

All right.

Oh, Clay. Come on in here.

What is it?

In Church one Sunday, the minister
was quoting Proverbs, or whatever.

You're drunk. Ha, ha.
Even drunker than usual.

- Don't interrupt me, boy.
- Why don't you go to bed?

The minister said,
"A wise son maketh a glad father."

Well, Nart made me a happy father.

And you...

When are you gonna
get yourself together?

You're turning into a playboy.

And now you're carrying on
with that little blond of yours, huh?

[SCOFFS]

Her name is Sammy Jo.

- She is a beautiful, decent woman.
- A beautiful, decent what?

Her background is Carrington,
that means she's filth.

Take it back, damn it. Take it back.

Okay.

You go ahead and meet her
in one of her stables.

That's her natural habitat, isn't it?

You two deserve each other.

A worthless son

and the Carrington tramp.

[PHONE RlNGS]

- Steven?
- I just got back to the apartment

and I got your message.
What is it, Sammy Jo?

Danny, I wanna see him tonight.

What are you talking about?

Please, Steven, just let me see him.

I'll, um, I'll come over to the apartment,
or you can bring him here, I don't care.

Look, Sammy Jo, it's late,
so unless it's an emergency--

- Well, maybe it is.
- What kind of emergency?

- I'm...
- What?

I'm all alone here.

Where's your boyfriend?
Did he desert you for the night?

Please, Steven, don't.

Sammy Jo, Danny is asleep.
I don't wanna have to wake him up

unless you can explain to me
what's going on.

I can't explain it.

I just need to hold my baby,
to feel him in my arms.

Can't you understand?

No, you can't.

Just forget I ever called.

[PHONE DlSCONNECTS]

[SlGHS]

[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR]

- Clay.
- Sammy Jo.

Pack your bags.

We're going to Las Vegas
to get married.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Lloyd, will you get a hold
of my daughter Amanda,

and invite her to dinner
at the mansion with me tonight : ?

And tell her to bring her friend
Mr. Culhane.

KRYSTLE: Emily, I told you,
Nlake met with Caress.

Nelieve me,
she won't bother you anymore.

I do believe you, Krystle.

It's just not the end of it.

Well, Caress has agreed to leave
Denver, never to contact you again.

But Ben knows.

Does Alexis?

Or maybe Caress told
someone else.

No, I'm the only one
who can stop this.

- Blake stopped it.
- I can't take that chance.

I have to tell Buck myself.

Oh, Emily, please don't.

[SlGHS]

If I'd only told the truth
when it all happened.

That Nen and I were together
when his mother d*ed.

None of this would have happened.

If I'm going to save my marriage,
he's gotta hear the truth from me.

That years ago
you made a mistake?

Telling him won't change that.

Oh, I swore I'd never be unfaithful
to my husband again, ever.

If only God would forgive me.

Nut I guess he hasn't.

Oh, Emily, you're the one
who hasn't forgiven yourself.

[SlGHS]

Please. Buck has a terrible temper.

If you tell him, you have no idea
where this could lead.

Please, just--
Just give it some time, wait a while.

I'm tired. I just need
to be left alone now, okay?

[SlGHS]

Of course.

Nrandy, Mr. Culhane?

Thank you, no, uh...

My meals used to be served
in the kitchen,

and, uh, brandy was never
on the menu.

I think it's time to dispense
with the small talk, don't you?

You've been evading my questions
all evening, and I've let you,

hoping that you'd finally tell us
the truth about yourself.

Oh, what, that this is a rented tuxedo?
I didn't think it showed.

There are a lot of things about you
that don't show, Mr. Culhane.

Mother, that's not funny.

It wasn't meant to be, darling.

I have had you investigated.

Would you please explain to me

how an ex-chauffeur
ends up a multi-millionaire?

What?

Yes, it's true.

Now, I'm not against people
improving themselves,

but you've gone from wildcatting,
to oil stock promotion.

One that almost ended up
having you convicted for fraud.

In fact, you did avoid going to jail
three times, didn't you?

Why don't you tell my daughter that?

Why don't you also tell her,
why the masquerade, why the lies?

Look, Amanda,

what your mother says may be true,
but I never wanted--

Daddy was right all along.

You've made a fool of me.

MlCHAEL: Amanda, wait.
- No, you wait.

And listen to me.

If you do anything,
anything at all to hurt my daughter,

your life won't be worth living.

- Buck?
- Hmm?

- Emily, I came in here to be alone.
- I know.

Nut I've gotta talk to you.

If it's about the boys,
I don't wanna hear it.

One's lost, and the other's hopeless.

Look, I know it's my fault you've
been so hostile these past months.

- Hostile?
- It is my fault.

Ever since Nen Carrington
took Nlake to court...

You sensed it, didn't you?

Hmm?

Sensed what?

What went on once
between Nen and me.

Emily, what in the hell
are you talking about?

What went on between you
and Nen Carrington?

Uh...

A few years after we were married,

you were away, campaigning.

And that summer, l...

Yeah?

Uh...

I...

[SlGHS]

I had an affair with Nen Carrington.

But I hated myself for it.

And I broke it off.

Uh...

Now, wait a minute now,

was that the summer that
Nlake's mother was k*lled in the fire?

No.

Ben lied on the stand about that.
I was with him.

Emily, you called me up north.

You told me how happy you were
that you were pregnant.

- That's right.
- Clay was conceived that summer.

While you were sleeping
with Nen Carrington?

Oh, now if you're implying
that Nen is Clay's father, that's--

No, no, that's wrong.

Emily, you called me.

You called me and you told me you
were so happy that you were pregnant.

What you didn't tell me
was that you were carrying a bastard.

Clay is your son, I swear it.
On everything that's sacred.

I don't believe you, Emily, ever again.

Oh, my God!

- No.
- Ever again.

[SlGHS]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Amanda, where have you been?
I've been scared to death.

About what?

That Nlake would find out
what you're up to?

Amanda.

Everything's changed,
don't you know that?

All I know
is how everything about you is a lie.

Look at me.

Please.

Everything your mother said
about me is true.

I've cheated people, I've used them.

- I was even using you at first.
- Why?

To get back at your father.

I've spent my whole life
getting back at people.

Making them pay
for what were really my mistakes.

- And now?
- I fell in love.

I never even knew
what that meant before.

And now all I can think about is you.

Without you, I feel dead inside.

Tell me, and the truth,

why did you come back here?

I couldn't help myself.

[CRYlNG]

Michael, the $ million that Nlake--

Yes, that came from me
and I didn't tell him.

Necause I was going
to watch his face

when he found out that his new
partner was actually the man he hated.

- You've gotta tell him.
- I can't.

He'll cancel the whole deal,
he'll lose everything,

his power, the crater.

That's why, sweetheart,
for now, we have to keep it a secret.

I love you.

And I could never do anything
to hurt your father now.

I'd like to leave this
for Nlake Carrington, please.

Of course.

- Is there a house phone?
- Right over there.

Thank you.

The Carrington suite, please.

[RlNGS]

Yes?

EMlLY [OVER PHONE]:
Blake? It's Emily.

- Emily, where are you?
- I'm in the lobby.

I left an envelope for you at the desk.

And I told Nuck everything.

Well, look, why don't you come up
here right now and we'll talk?

No, I can't.
I'm leaving town, for good.

Nut I made everything all right.

Stay right where you are.
I'll be down in a moment.

It won't do any good.

Promise me
that you're going to stay right there.

[SOBS]

Emily? Emily?

Blake, what is it?

Emily Fallmont,
she's down in the lobby.

I'll be back in a moment.

So this is where you spend
your free time, huh?

Hanging around hotel lobbies.

Tell me, Emily, was that a social call,
or strictly business?

Oh.

Hey, Nlake.

Never chase after whores,
they always come back.

Emily, wait!

Emily. Emily, please.

Emily, wait.

Emily!

[TYRES SCREECH]

Emily!
