07x21 - The Garage

[bunniefuu]

How long do I stay in this chair,
Mommy?

Just till we get outside, sweetheart.

- Then can I walk?
BLAKE: Walk?

I was going to carry you
out to the car.

You don't want to disappoint me,
now, do you?

Oh, all right. You can walk.

They're here.
Look this way, Kristina.

Attagirl, what a smile.

REPORTER : Kristina?
Are you happy to be going home?

REPORTER : Mrs. Carrington,
how are you holding up?

Was there any time you lost hope?

Well, it was difficult,
but I never lost hope.

[REPORTERS CHATTERlNG]

REPORTER :
Doctor Holland.

HOLLAND: The hospital will hold
a news conference

to answer all your questions.
Nut right now--

REPORTER : Are there any signs
of rejection, doctor?

Ha, ha, it's been three weeks,
and Kristina is doing extremely well.

Doctor, I want to thank you again
for everything you--

REPORTER : Mr. Carrington?
Mr. Carrington are you

and Mrs. Carrington optimistic?

Well, Kristina's had
the very best of care.

We feel her life is just beginning.

She's going to be surrounded
by people who love her

and she's going to be just fine.

She's a brave and strong little girl.
And we're proud of her.

REPORTER :
Thank you.

[ALL CHATTERlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY]

SAMMY JO:
Here's out guest of honour, now.

I'm not a guest.

[ALL LAUGHlNG]

That's right, Kristina.
You live here.

You certainly do, darling.

We've waited a long time
for you to come back to us. Too long.

It was.

[ALL LAUGHlNG]

Remember how dirty Raggedy Anne
got from playing in the garden?

She's had a bath and she's
sitting on your bed waiting for you.

I'm going up to tell her you're here.

You can play with some of my toys
later, if you want.

All right.

[SAMMY JO CHUCKLES]

Mr. and Mrs. Carrington,

I think it's time
for Kristina to have a rest now.

Yes, I think so, too.

Oh, by the way.
This is Mrs. Johnson.

She came with us from California.

She's going to help look after
Kristina for a while.

Gerard, would you show
Mrs. Johnson to her room.

- It's up next to the nursery.
GERARD: Yes, sir.

- This way, Mrs. Johnson.
- Thank you.

KRYSTLE: Come on, darling.
- Nut I'm not sleepy.

Well, good.

Then I can read you
one of my favourite stories.

If that doesn't put you to sleep,
nothing will.

[ALL LAUGHlNG]

DEX:
Sarah?

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

Sarah?

Sarah? Are you home?

Sarah?

- Sarah.
- Dex.

- How are you?
- I'm all right. Are you?

- All right?
- Uh-huh.

Of course.

I mean, don't go by the way I look.
I've been, uh, swamped with work.

Ranch doesn't run itself, you know.

Except for right now, I haven't
had a chance to sit down.

I haven't even left the house.

- Come on.
- Where?

I'm taking you out to lunch.

Oh, no, I'd love to, but...

Noyd has a year's worth of receipts
on his desk that I have to go through.

And he was planning on irrigating
the lower meadow, and l...

Can't that wait for a while?
At least take some time out.

Listen, Dex.
I really appreciate your concern.

Nut I need to keep myself busy,
you know, keep my mind working.

I know you do. I know you do.

Nut what about family, uh, friends,
someone to talk to?

Please, if I need somebody to talk to
all I have to do is pick up the phone.

Listen, I'm fine, really.

I just need something to focus on,
and right now it's work.

All right.
Nut if you need anything...

I promise,
you'll be the first one I call.

Okay.

When Kristina's through with her rest,
would you bring her to the kitchen?

The staff has planned
a little welcome home party

and Mrs. Gunnerson's
baked her favourite cookies.

I think Kristina
can do without the cookies.

I'll stop by the kitchen later and
we can discuss a more sensible diet.

- Is Kristina asleep?
- Yeah.

It didn't take long.
Halfway through the first chapter.

She looks healthy.
Is everything all right?

I wish it were, Steven.

Nut there's still the possibility
of rejection.

Oh, by the way.
Are you going back to the office?

Yeah. Yeah, I am.
I just wanted to, uh, talk to you first.

I was waiting for you
to come back downstairs.

I just wanted you to know that
Sammy Jo and I are living together.

You are? When did that happen?

A little while ago.

We've been drawing closer
the last few months.

I see.

Well, I guess I just wanted you
to understand.

These last months
she and I have been, uh,

spending more
and more time together.

Listening to each other,
spending time with Danny.

He was very scared
with Kristina got sick.

He needed both of us.

That's when children
need their parents most, I think.

I've moved out to Delta Rho
with Danny.

Sammy Jo and I are
living together as parents,

but not as husband and wife.

You know, Steven,

You don't have to explain
yourself to me.

I don't want to see you get hurt.

I don't want to see Sammy Jo
get hurt, for that matter.

Nut...
What you do with your life,

that's your own business, son.

- Happy anniversary.
- What anniversary?

I've been in Denver a week now.

A week of getting to know
the city better

and of getting
to know you better every day.

Well, there are those
who would say that

getting to know Alexis Colby
is hardly a cause for celebration.

Then they're fools.
It's as simple as that.

- Are you always so sure of yourself?
- Always.

Since the day I took my first steps.

My mother said it was to the bank

to deposit a nickel I'd found.

- Hmm, which I'm sure you still have.
- Of course.

If I find something valuable
I never let go.

Does that go for people, too?

In spite of what you may have read
about me, Alexis,

I don't try to own people.

Just their companies.

- That's called free enterprise.
- Nothing's free in this life.

Everything has its price.

- And what's yours?
- Oh, I'm afraid I'm not for sale.

If that's why you've come to Denver
you're in for a disappointment.

Necause you can flatter me,
and take me to dinner

and buy me flowers,

but you'll never know what I want.

I already do.

You'd rather lose everything
and start over again

than end up in a rocking chair
clipping coupons. Just like me.

Winning's not enough for me
anymore.

There's got to be a balance in life
between what you get,

- and what you give back.
- Come off it, Alexis.

For us,
making money is like making love.

It's not the result that's important,
but how you get there.

The challenge. The victory.

[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR]

Well, I see your thr*at to leave
before I arrived was just that.

An idle thr*at.

You said you wanted to see me.
I didn't have any choice.

You see? When you accept that,
it's a lot easier, isn't it?

You've got all the information
on Colbyco you wanted.

I've got nothing else to give you.

I'm not a greedy man, Michael.

The information you gave me
was worth close to a million dollars.

And for that I'm very grateful.

- Then take your gratitude and leave.
- Leave?

[LAUGHS]

You'd better get used to the fact
that I have just arrived, my friend.

What do you want now?

- An invitation.
- To what?

To Dirk Maurier's cocktail party.

It's an A-list,
and I belong on that.

There'll be a lot of important,
powerful people there, McVane.

Why the hell should you be invited?

Unless you want to make
my mother squirm.

Now, why would I want to do that?

Necause it's not just money
you're after. It's revenge.

My motives
are none of your business.

You do exactly what I tell you to do,
do you understand?

Now, get me invited to that party.

Unless, of course, you want to
go back to being Michael Torrance.

[DOOR CLOSES]

She looks so peaceful.

- Thank God she's home.
- Mm-hm.

She's getting better. We all are.

[LAUGHS]

What is it, darling?

There's more on your mind
than just Kristina, isn't there?

Oh, I was just thinking about Sarah.

And what we'd be going through
if it hadn't been for her.

We owe her so much.

Were you able to reach her
on the telephone?

You know,
I tried calling her several times,

but there was no answer.

I want her to know
that we're home now,

and make sure she's all right.

[TELEPHONE RlNGlNG]

[SOBBlNG]

- Still no answer?
- No.

Blake, I'm worried about her.

Krystle, darling.

You barely slept last night,

and you hardly touched
your breakfast this morning.

- I'm not very hungry.
- Come on now, what is it?

- Morning.
- Morning, Dex.

I came as soon
as I got your message, Krystle.

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

- Uh, I saw Sarah yesterday.
- How was she?

Oh, under the circumstances,
she seemed to be holding up.

Seemed to be?

I have this feeling
there's something wrong.

All I can tell you
is that she's keeping busy

and she said she'd call
if she needed anything.

- Is anybody there with her?
- No.

And I got the feeling
that's the way she wanted it.

She said she was too busy
to even leave the house.

If she didn't leave the house,
why isn't she answering the phone?

Somebody should be there with her.
What about her family?

She said she'd rather be alone.

[SlGHS]

Nlake, something's not right.

I have to go see her.
It's only an hour by plane, and...

I know that Kristina'll be fine
with you and Mrs. Johnson.

Darling, I'm not sure
that this is the right thing for you to do.

Now, no matter how much pain
Sarah is in at this time,

seeing you again, being reminded
that our daughter is alive

because of her daughter...

Nlake, you know
how much she's given us.

Now, we couldn't stop what happened
to her husband and her daughter,

but if anything were to happen
to Sarah, I'd never forgive myself.

[DlALLlNG]

Yes, this is Adam Carrington.
Mr. Maurier, please.

No, I'd like to leave a message.

Congressman Neil McVane
will be attending Mr. Maurier's party.

He will be on my guest list.

Thank you.

[PHONE BEEPS]

Yes. What is it?

Send him in.

[DOOR OPENS]

Doctor Edwards.
What a pleasant surprise.

You should have phoned.

I did. Several times.

- Nut you never returned my calls.
- Yes, of course. I'm sorry.

I kept meaning to get back to you,
but one thing after another.

Well, I couldn't leave
Denver without seeing you.

I'm worried about you.

Worried about me?

Doctor, I appreciate your concern,
but I couldn't be better.

Then I'm delighted.

Unfortunately, I couldn't be busier.
Next time you're in Denver--

I feel partly responsible
for what you're going through.

I feel that since your last visit
to Nillings and the talk we had

your whole life must have changed.

I want to make sure you're all right.

Are you?

Doctor, look...

Rest easy. I'm fine.
Nothing's changed.

Nothing?

You mean the Carringtons
simply accepted the fact

that you're not a Carrington,
just swept it under the rug?

You didn't tell them
when you came back, did you?

- No, I didn't.
- Michael, you've got to tell them.

Why? As far as Nlake and Alexis
are concerned, I am their son.

They've accepted me,
and they love me

as if I were
their own flesh and blood.

You can't go on living this lie.

No one could hold up
under that kind of a strain for long.

Listen to me. Look at me.
Do I look as if I'm ready to collapse?

Doctor.

Forget all about this.

As far as I'm concerned,
Michael Torrance doesn't exist.

That's the way I'm gonna keep it.

Darling, I just made reservations
for lunch, and I'm sorry.

I thought you were alone.

- Doctor Edwards?
- Yes, Dana. It's me.

I can't believe it. It's been years.

He's here for a conference, Dana.
He was just leaving.

Leaving? No.
Join us for lunch, please.

We have so much to talk about.

Did Adam tell you
about our engagement?

No. No, he didn't.

Well, I'll fill you in on everything,
ha, ha. You like seafood, I hope.

Dana, he really has to go.

Uh... Yes, I do.

Let me know how you're doing,
all right?

I do care.

Dana.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Adam, that was rude.
He's just a sweet old man.

He's busy, he had to go.

- What else was he supposed to say?
- Drop it, will you?

What is going on?

This wasn't just about
an old friend stopping by.

- Forget it!
- Fine.

Dana, Dana, I'm sorry.

The fact is, I wanted to have lunch
with you, alone.

I love you.

I just didn't feel like sharing you.
All right?

Why can't you just be man enough
to admit

you acted like a chauvinist pig?

You might have a diploma
in engineering, but--

Yes, I do.

That does not give you the right
to talk down to men on the job.

I did not talk down to them.

No? Let me tell you some of these
men have been working the fields

- longer than you've been alive.
- I was trying to point out

if you move the drill a feet north,
you could avoid the bed rock--

Which is something
that we're all well aware of.

You just-- You didn't even
look at the plans.

You just marched in,
like you had the answers.

I had to do something. You and your
buddies acted like I wasn't even there.

If I were a man
you would have listened to me.

If you were a man, they'd have
thrown you out of the office.

Oh, forget it.

NOTH:
And another thing.

[BOTH LAUGH]

All right, maybe a little false pride
got in the way.

Maybe I did come on
just a little too strong.

[LAUGHS]

I'll tell you what, after lunch we'll go up,
we'll look at those plans, and no,

better yet,

maybe we can talk about this
over dinner. That is,

if you want to.

Sure. Why not?

Why not?

[DOOR OPENS]

Father, I'm sorry if I'm late,
but I was having lunch

when I was told
you wanted to see me.

Yes. Come in, please, Adam.

I've been doing
a lot of thinking about you lately

About us.

- Who?
- Sit down.

Someone told me something
that has me very concerned.

Well, don't believe a fraction
of what he says.

It wasn't a he. It was Dana.

Dana?

She thinks that you're upset
about something.

Something that you can't talk about.

Father, I love her very much,

but she's been overreacting
to everything lately.

I'm sure it's just pressure
about the engagement, a new family,

but nothing to worry about.

Good. I'm glad to hear that.

Just a moment.

Now, let's talk about you and me.

What about us?

We've had
some terrible times together.

We always seem to be
circling each other

rather than talking to each other.

I'm not sure
I know what you're getting it.

I think it's time
we set the record straight.

A while back,
I cut you out of my will.

I felt you were no son of mine.
I told you that.

I remember.

Well that's all in the past now,
because I've put you back in my will.

After all, you and Dana
are gonna be married.

You've got a bright future ahead.

A future as my son.

You listening to me, Adam?

Every word.

Now, we've got a lot to build on.

Now, let's forget about
what has happened in the past.

From now on,

it's the future that counts, son.

Father, l--

You'll never know
what this means to me.

I swear to you,
I'll never let you down again.

[DOOR BELL RlNGS]

KRYSTLE:
Sarah? It's Krystle Carrington.

Sarah?

[COUGHlNG]

Sarah.

[COUGHlNG]

Sarah.

Dear God.

[SlGHS]

The pain just won't stop, Krystle.

I can't eat. I can't sleep.

I try to work,
but I can't stop thinking about Noyd.

And my baby.

And how I'd like to die
like them.

su1c1de is not the answer.

You've got to deal with your feelings.

I know.

I've tried to convince myself of that.

But all I do
is keep thinking about Boyd.

And I see Cathy, my baby,

running from room to room,
pulling her little doll with her.

My house is so empty now.

It's all hollow,

Iike I am.

Sarah, as long as you're alive,
she's a part of you.

Cathy lives in your love for her,
and she always will.

[SlGHS]

I want you to come back to Denver
with me.

Oh, I can't.

My home is here.

I can't stay here
and I'm not going to leave you alone.

Please.

Come back with me.

I don't think it's a good idea, darling.
I don't think it's the answer.

I'm not sure there is an answer,
Blake.

Now what is she going to feel
when she sees Kristina?

I don't know, but they're not gonna
keep her in the hospital overnight,

and I can't just leave her alone.

She's got to have someone
to talk to.

She needs our help.

All right, I'll have Gerard
prepare a room for her.

I love you.

- Why didn't you tell me?
- About what?

About you and Nlake.

I don't run to tell you every time
my father and I have a conversation.

Conversation?

My God, Adam, this is what you've
been waiting for all these months.

You and your father are reconciled.
You're back in the family again.

- Where I've always belonged.
- I don't believe I'm hearing this.

You're acting like Nlake
just invited you out to lunch.

How do you want me to act?

I'm a Carrington.

I've always been a Carrington.

The only difference is now things
are back the way they should be.

I'm sorry. I just came by to tell you
how happy I am for you.

Excuse me.

[LlGHT MUSlC PLAYlNG]

I understand congratulations
are in order.

You make a very handsome couple,
indeed.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

You know, I've read a great deal
about you, Mr. Maurier.

Uh-oh. Well, if Alexis will forgive me
for saying this,

don't believe everything
you read in the press.

Well, I may forgive,
but I'll never forget.

Adam, who are you looking for?

I just want to see
who's here, Mother.

Oh.

Just look who's here.

- Would you excuse us, please.
- Of course.

I hope you don't mind
my inviting your ex-husband,

but he is, after all, one of the
up-and-coming young men in the area.

Oh, no, of course not.

As you said, he's my ex-husband,

and whatever was between us
is over now.

Mr. Maurier, I appreciate
your invitation this evening,

but I must warn you...

That you're here out of
morbid curiosity and that's all.

Well, those are the exact words
she used in the car on the way here.

I don't blame you,
Miss Deveraux.

After all, the press has labelled me
a one-man vacuum cleaner

when it comes to company
take-overs.

What's to like?

Once again, you've taken the words
right out of my mouth.

I, on the other hand,
have looked forward to meeting you.

I've followed your career
for many years.

- You've seen me perform?
- I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about your hotels,
your clubs.

Your take-over of Titania Records.

We seem to have quite a lot
in common, don't we?

In case you missed the point, dear,
that's called tit-for-tat. Shall we?

DlRK:
Excuse us.

[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR]

Yeah?

- May I come in?
- Sure.

How about a date with the old man?

Oh, I'm sorry.
Nut I've got a date with a young man.

[CHUCKLES]

- Tell me,
- Hmm?

what do you think?

I think he's very lucky,
whoever he is.

And as a concerned father,
may I ask who is it?

Clay Fallmont.

Clay Fallmont?

Look, there must be
any number of young men

better for you than Clay Fallmont.

Better? Ha.

Dad, we're just having dinner,
we're not getting married.

But he's a womanizer.

Is that what's bothering you? Ha, ha.

Nrace yourself, Dad,
but I've had boyfriends before.

Then his marriage with Sammy Jo
should bother you.

- There is no marriage.
- That is the point.

He's barely through with one woman,
and now he's out to conquer another.

Trust me, Dad.

I'm not conquered that easily.

DEX:
Thank you. Excuse me.

I'm surprised to see you here.

I would have thought
Dirk Maurier's operations

are rather out of your league.

Well, maybe I'd like to expand
my interests, Alexis.

How fortunate for your good friend,
Dominique.

I was talking business, Alexis.

Dominique and I are just friends.

And I suppose you're here
just out of curiosity, too, hmm?

I like to keep up on what's going on.

With business or with me?

Oh, you flatter yourself, Alexis.

It's interesting.
I mean, you and I were lovers.

We were married.

Nut I don't think
we were ever friends.

Excuse me.

Arabian horses offer the best of both
worlds, Miss Reece.

A smart investment
along with beauty and grace.

Come to the ranch sometime.
I'm very proud of them.

- Thank you.
- Excuse us.

- I'll see you later, darling.
- Okay.

Oh, my God.

McVane.

Who invited him?

Well, your son called
and left a message with my secretary,

asking that Mr. McVane
be included.

Which son?

ADAM:
Scotch.

Don't you think
you'd better slow down?

Double up.

Alexis, you look absolutely stunning.

You know, every time I see you
I say to myself there's no justice.

You're right.

Excuse me, Dirk.

- Alexis--
- Not right now.

I am not hired help here.
I'm a guest, just like you.

Nut suddenly I feel like
the invisible man and I don't like it.

Look, I have more important things on
my mind right now than your problems,

so please excuse me.

- Maurier should be pleased.
- How could you invited that scum?

Who are you talking about?

You know perfectly well
who I'm talking about. McVane.

Who said I invited him?

Maurier's secretary. And don't try
to deny it because I know you did.

Adam, that man tried to k*ll me,
and you invite him here tonight?

- What is wrong with you?
- Nothing.

Damn it, Mother,
it's a simple little party.

He's paid his debt.

He deserves another chance,
doesn't he?

- Don't we all?
- Adam, what--

Come on, we're getting out of here,
Dana. Come on. Come on.

[PEOPLE LAUGHlNG]

Michael Culhane?

- That's right.
- I'm Neil McVane.

Welcome to the club.

From the inner circle
to the bleachers.

- What are you talking about?
- You.

And Alexis Colby.
Pal, she didn't brush you off just now.

She tossed you out.

Look, Mr. McVane.

Whatever's going on between
that lady and me

is none of your damn business.

Apparently it's none of your
business, either.

A certain little birdy
at Colbyco told me

that Alexis
is now doing business with Maurier.

- What?
- You didn't know that?

Well, I certainly know
how you feel.

One day you're in,
and the next day you're out.

Tell me something, what's all this
got to do with you?

Let's just say that I think
it's time Alexis paid her dues.

Here, give me a call.

Only when you're ready
to agree with me.

Adam, what is going on?
I have never seen you like this.

[CHUCKLES]

- Like what?
- Drunk for one thing. I'm worried.

It's not just the drinking.
There is something bothering you.

What is it?

- Nothing.
- Oh, come on, Adam.

Look at yourself.

- I'd rather look at you, hmm?
- No. Not this time.

There is something going on
and I want an explanation.

I'm sorry I got drunk
and lost my temper at the party.

It was a boring party, anyway

and I'd rather
have a private party with you.

Adam.

Is this how we deal with each other?

Instead of talking to me
or even sharing with me

you simply make love to me?

I don't know who you are anymore.

- Hello, darling.
- Oh, Nlake.

Sarah.

- Welcome to our home.
- Thank you.

Well, why don't we all go into
the library, have a cup of tea.

That would be fine. Thanks.

I'll join you in a minute.
I want to see Kristina.

Sarah?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was just thinking.

This is your favourite room, isn't it?

Well, l... I think it is. Yes.

My husband had a special room
like this at the ranch

it was his study.

We used to sit together
and talk about our plans.

It was really his room, though.

Like this.

Well. As long as you're here

we want you to feel
that this is your home.

"Home"?

Except it really isn't my home, is it?

We want you
to be comfortable here.

"Comfortable"?

How can I be comfortable
with everything that's happened?

I mean, with my-- Oh...

I'm sorry.

You're being so kind and I'm...

Thank you.

You saw the way Adam
stormed out of the party tonight.

One minute he's fine,
the next he's on a rampage.

Well, since when has Adam
been predictable?

- But his moods are so extreme.
- Then talk to him.

Yeah. I will. If he'll let me.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Sammy Jo.

I'm sorry, Steven.

[LlGHT MUSlC PLAYlNG]

Mm... I haven't felt this good
in a long time, Leslie.

[LESLlE LAUGHS]

I think we finally agree
on something.

[CLAY CHUCKLES]

You know what I said about
you spouting off at the men--

Shh.

- That seems like a long time ago.
- I know.

- I'm just glad that we're--
- Me, too.

ADAM: What do you mean
you won't serve me?

NARTENDER: I can't.
ADAM: I'm a customer.

- I'm a paying customer.
- You're already drunk.

- Manager says it's against the law--
ADAM: Save the speech.

- Give me a drink.
- Adam. What's the problem?

- Him.
- Clay.

- Leslie. I didn't see you.
- What's happened?

Nothing. You know something?

The man is right.
I have had too much to drink.

I'm sorry, friend.

There. See?

It's all taken care of.

- They'll get you a taxi?
- Good.

I don't feel like driving.

You two enjoy yourselves, okay?

Hmm.

When was the last time
I told you I loved you?

About ten minutes ago,
when I was doing this.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Now I remember.

Well, I'm going to tell you again.

I love you.

And I love you even more
for everything you're doing for Sarah.

What am I going to do with you?

[CHUCKLES]

I still think it's a bad idea
having her here.

It's not good for her,
not good for the baby

- not good for any of us.
- Nut we've got to help her.

- She doesn't have anyone else.
- Darling.

Sarah may need some kind
of professional help.

She may need something
that we can't offer.

She just needs to get back
on her feet.

Right now she needs us.

Good night, my darling.

Sarah?

I was, uh, just going in
to check on Kristina.

Oh, don't worry.
She's sleeping like an angel.

- Good night.
- Good night.
