09x01 - Broken Krystle

[bunniefuu]

I want my son!

Last time on Dynasty:

Hello, Jeff.

Sammy Jo.

I just wanted to say

that I love you.

And I need you.

And I will marry you.

Goodbye, Dad.

Basing my decision on the fact

that I feel that the child
should be with his natural mother,

I'm going to award custody to you,
Mrs. Atkinson.

No.

No, you're not gonna get my son.

- What is it, darling?
- I just got dizzy for a minute.

Heh. I just hope these headaches
go away soon.

My God, Krystle.

I thought we had more time.

- That's for Kirby.
- The police are looking for you.

This is the first place they'll come to.
Aah!

DEX. Help!

Aah!

Dex.

Alexis.

- Is he dead?
- Yeah. He's dead.

Easy.

Easy.

It's all right.

Come on, come on, come on.

I'll call the police.

Easy, easy.

Krystle.

Krystle.

Jeanette.

Jeanette, come in here.

What's happened here?

- What's happened? Where's my wife?
- Well, she left a little while ago.

- Left? To go where?
- Well, she didn't say.

Did you hear what I said?

What?

I said yes.

Yes?

Yes, I will marry you.

Marry me.

We do belong together. I was afraid
of it at first but you were right.

Oh, Sammy Jo, that's just great.

I don't know what to say.

Look at these.

- What?
- For our honeymoon.

We can go to Mykonos
or Manzanillo...

- We could cruise the Mediterranean.
- Anywhere you wanna go.

Make love under the stars

which is something
we could start practicing right now.

- Sammy Jo, wait a minute.
- Don't tell me you have a headache.

That's right.

No, actually,
you caught me off guard, I guess.

I hope so. How many women come
to your house at the cr*ck of dawn

with a bottle of champagne
and actually not much more?

Sammy Jo,
I don't know how to say this.

I wasn't expecting a speech.
What's the matter?

I come here
to toast our engagement...

- What was that?
- What?

That noise from your bedroom.

I didn't hear anything. I'll tell you what.
Why don't we do this right?

Why don't we go out and celebrate?
You wait here. I'll go get dressed.

- Don't act like you didn't hear that.
- Oh, that? That was just a thing.

- A thing?
- Yeah. A loose window thing.

- Somebody could break in.
- Why would somebody do that?

I don't know but I am curious.

- You may not be, but I am.
- Wait a minute. Please.

- I know I heard something.
- There's no need ...

You see?

Nobody's here.

Oh.

What did I tell you? I'm having so
many problems with these windows.

I just...

Well, enough about this window stuff,
huh?

Let's go pop that champagne
and show me those brochures.

- This is a celebration, right?
- Oh, yes.

Krystle?

Krystle.

Kristina. What is it?
What's the matter?

- What's going on here?
- Danny jumped out of the closet

- and scared Kristina.
- It was your idea.

- Was not.
- All right, boys, all right.

Darling, I'm looking for your mommy.

- She's playing a game with us.
- Yeah, Grandpa.

She was pretending she was a witch
or something.

She wasn't pretending.

She had this funny look on her face
like she was crazy.

- Do you know where she went?
- No.

She said she was going someplace
where nobody could find her.

Not even me.

Oh, darling.

No.

Your mommy was just playing a game
with you.

She loves you very, very much.

Now, look, can you wait here and play?
Play quietly, huh?

I've gotta go out for a while.

Leave her alone.

Morning.

Hmm.

Now, let's start all over again.

- What do you mean?
- Ask me to marry you. You wanted to.

- You know I wanna marry you.
- Then ask me.

Sammy Jo, will you marry me?

- No, I don't think so.
- Ha-ha-ha.

Are you expecting someone?

No.

- Fallon.
- I'm sorry I'm late, Jeff.

The traffic was unbelievable. Whoops.

I was in such a rush,
I barely had time to dress. Hi.

Fallon, I really don't think
this is the time.

What do you mean?
You asked me to come over.

It was today, wasn't it?

No, I really think you should go.

Oh, champagne.

Have I interrupted a celebration
or does this go on every morning?

Jeff and I are going to be married.

Congratulations.

Out of one and into another.

Marriage, of course.

Sammy Jo, welcome
to what I'm sure is going to be

a long line of Mrs. Colbys.

For a woman
who's just lost her husband,

I'm glad you're taking it so well.

Well, Jeff and I will always be close.

Fallon, you're really pushing it.

You two must have so many decisions
to make.

Invitations, flowers, wedding gown.

You know, Sammy Jo,
you could borrow my old one,

with a few alterations.

Heh. That's very sweet of you, Fallon,
but I've got Jeff.

And that's all I'll need from you.

Oh, really? Well, I guess
there's nothing more for me to say.

Goodbye would be nice.

Well, as they say,

here today, here tomorrow.

Sam, have you seen
Mrs. Carrington?

Yes, sir, about five minutes ago.
She took off in her Rolls-Royce.

Thank you.

What was I supposed to do?
She just showed up.

- sh**t her. Push her out the window.
- Fallon likes to play games.

She likes to play them here.

Let's not let this ruin
the rest of the day, huh?

- Where are you going?
- Out of here.

Let's at least have
some champagne.

Champagne? Champagne.
You want champagne?

I'll give you champagne.

How's that for champagne?

Krystle.

- What the hell are you trying to do?
- Move the truck.

- I'm trying to catch that car.
- Are you crazy?

You almost slammed into me.

Move the damn truck.

I'll just be a little while longer, sir.

Jeanette, forget that for now.

Please, sit down for a minute.

I want you to think back.

Has anything like this happened
before?

Uh...

Not exactly.

What do you mean, "not exactly"?

About a month ago...

when you were away
on the campaign...

it was in the middle of the night,
and I heard this noise.

So I went to the window
and looked out.

There was Mrs. Carrington.

All she had on, sir,
was this thin little nightgown.

I called out to her,
but she just kept on walking.

I followed her outside
and she turned and...

I can't describe the look in her eyes.

I ran and I got Gerard.

I didn't know what else to do.

But when we got back outside,
she was gone.

Yes. Yes, go on.

Well, we found her a little while later
by the reflection pond.

She was just standing there.

We got her inside, sir.

But the next morning

when I asked her
what had happened...

What did she say?

Well, she looked at me
like I was crazy.

She said she hadn't left the house.

- Well, why wasn't I told about this?
- Uh...

- Was that the only time?
- I don't know.

These past few years,
she hasn't been herself.

Yes, yes, I know.

Look, Jeanette,

I don't want anyone
to know about this.

Oh, of course, sir.

I'm expecting a phone call

from a Dr. Charles Hampton
in Los Angeles.

I want the call put through to me,
wherever I am.

- In the car, anywhere.
- Yes, sir.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Carrington?

Yes?

You know we love her very much.

Thank you, Jeanette.

- Calm down.
- I can't calm down. I won't.

Mrs. Colby, I know this has been
rough, but I've got a dead man here.

Oh, you've got a dead man.
I've got a dead husband

who breaks into my bathroom
and tries to k*ll me.

And would have succeeded
if he hadn't intervened.

Look, would you please
take these men

and get out of my apartment?

You're not making this any easier.

I'm sorry, officer, But I get upset when
somebody bursts into my bathroom

and tries to k*ll me.

And if you want the truth,
I'm glad that Sean Rowan is dead.

L just wish I'd k*lled him myself.
It's true.

Look, we have covered this
three times.

Rowan was sh**ting at Mrs. Colby.

He forced her to open her safe.

I broke in, he started sh**ting at me,
we struggled, the g*n went off.

There were no other witnesses.

I was in my bathroom.

How many witnesses could there be?

You know,
we could do this downtown.

Are you pressing charges?

No.

Then why don't we wrap this up?

You've got our statement,
she's been through enough.

I'm taking her out of here.

All right, just don't disappear.

Oh, I don't think Alexis Colby
can disappear.

Get some clothes.
We're gonna take a trip.

Dex, how can we go away?
Not with all this going on.

I don't want you to argue with me.
Get dressed.

We'll go to L.A. for a few days.
Help you clear your mind.

Do you have any problem with that?

No. I guess not.
Just let me know where you'll be.

He really hated me, didn't he?

He hated himself.

I must have misunderstood.

I thought Mrs. Carrington's
appointment was today.

My mistake.

Yes. Thank you very much.

Hello?

Yes, yes, put him through, please.

Mr. Carrington, this is Dr. Aames.
I'm Dr. Hampton's associate.

- You've been trying to reach him?
- Yes, I have.

Well, he's at a conference in Chicago,
and if it's important-

Yes, it's very important.
It's about my wife.

He'll know why I'm calling.

I could put a call through
to the conference headquarters.

Yes, please.
Tell him that my wife has experienced

some of the symptoms
that he warned me about and...

No, no, no, wait.

Tell him...

Tell him I think it has started

and I don't know what to do.

I don't care what the judge said.
I'm not gonna let them take my son.

The appeal is already in motion.
We still have some legal options.

Yes, no thanks to your partner.

Listen, Adam, I reviewed the case.

Wolf did the best job he could
under the circumstances.

And my supportive family.

My father was the only one
who bothered to show up for hearing.

I'll bet that really impressed
the judge.

You could have had family packed
to the rafters.

- It wouldn't have made any difference.
- Jesse Atkinson.

He gave custody of my son to that...

Scotch, neat.

Plain soda.

He didn't grant custody to Atkinson.
He granted it to the child's mother.

Who signs a contract,
takes my money, and then says:

"Sorry, I've changed my mind."

Much like my lovely wife.

Adam, you knew the risks
of having a child with a surrogate.

That speech of Dana's. Without her,
I might have had a chance.

Without her,
you have no chance at all.

Adam, listen to me.
You need her help.

Yes, I know.

To show stability and continuity.

Damn it,
I belong to one of the oldest,

most respected families in Colorado.

How much more stability
do they want?

We are talking about a father
and a mother.

That means Dana.

It also means take it easy
on the booze, okay?

You listen to me, pal.

You look after the paperwork.

I'll look after myself.

And Dana.

Not a moment too soon.

Again.

Whoa! Be careful.

Another couple of inches,
we would've been airborne again.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, to die in L.A., huh?
What a way to go.

Two good-looking corpses
in a hunk of abstract art.

You wanna have some fun, huh?

- Come on, let's go for it, huh? Go.
- Hey.

- What the hell are you doing?
- We might as well go all the way!

- Take your foot off the pedal!
- Whoa, whoa!

- Don't pull the punches, let's go!
- Stop it.

- Stop it, you're gonna k*ll us!
- Whoo!

Stop.

Idiot.

Feeling sorry for ourselves?

My company is in ruins.

I've been betrayed by everybody
that I trusted.

My husband-Hah.

Husband, he tries to k*ll me,
doesn't succeed

and then comes back
and tries again.

I think I have a right to feel sorry
for myself.

- You picked him.
- Yes.

I give him carie blanche
to do whatever he wanted.

I handed him on a plate
everything I worked for.

God, what an idiot I am.

You won't get an argument from me
there.

Oh, he was so believable, Dex.

He was... He was so charming.

God knows I've seen that act
played a thousand times.

I've even played it myself,
and I still fell for it.

Yeah, you sure did.

- Thanks for your support.
- I was agreeing with you.

Yes. Well, I don't need you, Dexier.

Why don't you go home?

I don't need you
and I don't need anybody.

Yes, you do.

You need someone to tell you
when you screw up.

Oh, and I suppose you think
you're just the man to do it, huh?

I'm the only one
who isn't afraid of you.

Oh, Dex.

Oh, Dex, I've been such a fool.

It's all right.

You'll be all right.

- Mr. Carrington?
- Yes?

I heard you asking about your wife.

Well, I think I saw her
just a few minutes ago.

- You did? Where?
- Well, I think it was her.

- I saw her going down that way.
- Show me.

Well, I had to look twice.

I wondered what Mrs. Carrington
would be doing around here.

I mean, she hasn't been down
in a long time.

You're sure that it was her?

Well, I didn't actually talk to her
but I try never to forget a pretty face.

And besides, we all appreciate
what she's done for us

down here at the rehab centre.

I mean, she...
Real charity, you know?

I mean, some people give money,
but she really put in her time.

- She really gave of herself.
- That corner or this or where?

Well, I'm not quite sure.
She was coming down this way.

When did you see her?
How long ago?

Well, it was just a few minutes ago.

I don't...

There. You see? Look.

Uh-oh.

Krystle! Krystle!

Krystle.

Hey, what the hell is going on?

I'm sorry.
I thought you were somebody else.

- And I think you're in trouble.
- Oh, come on, Jerry.

- I'm very sorry.
- Well, say, aren't you...?

What's his name?
The guy who ran for governor.

- Yeah, that's right.
- Carrington. Blake Carrington.

This is great.
Cindy, give me a piece of paper.

Wait a second, here's something.

Could you, you know,
autograph it for me?

Thanks. That's great.

- Good luck, Blake.
- A guy like that don't need luck.

He's got it all.

Oh, my God, Mother, are you okay?

Yeah, don't worry, darling.
I'm perfect.

I can be there in a couple of hours.

No, no, no. Everything's under control.
Dex is with me.

Well, L.B. and Lauren send their love.
Don't you?

Well, you send it right back to them
with a big kiss from me.

You know, I talked to Adam
and I'm a little worried about him.

But when you speak to Steven,
tell him that I'm fine.

And you be good now. Huh?

Oh, well, that's not fun.

I'd rather be like my mother.

Heh. Well, at least check them
for weapons first.

Bye, darling.

You didn't have to dress for me.

But I did.

Oh.

Dex.

I think you look beautiful.

Got off the phone with Mother.
Do you realise...?

How about a hug
for your old Uncle Adam?

Oh, I think it's time for your bath,
don't you?

Carmela, will you take her upstairs?

- I'll be right there.
- Where's the ice?

Adam, Sean tried to k*ll Mother.

I know all about it.

Mother and I talked this afternoon.

- Well, you don't look very upset.
- Hah.

Mother's always in trouble.

Our mother can take care of herself.

Your compassion is overwhelming.

My God, Adam,
she was almost k*lled.

But she wasn't.

Save your compassion
for someone who needs it.

Like you, I suppose.

I lost the baby, you know.

Yes. I'm sorry.

- I wanted to come.
- But you didn't.

Oh, my God, Adam, why do we always
have to be at each other's throat?

You know, you and I are a lot alike.

I can be as arrogant and selfish
as you are.

Oh, I'll drink to that.

And I do care about you...
Surprise, surprise.

Right now, all you and I have
is this family.

- We shouldn't forget that.
- Oh, yes, the family.

You sound like Dana.
You know what she did to me.

You really work hard
at driving people away.

Dana never meant to hurt you.

If you don't stop blaming her,
you'll lose her too.

I have no intention of losing Dana.
I need her, for the time being.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- Adam.

Aww. Now, isn't this just perfect?

The star of our little family drama
has arrived.

Missed you in court today, Dana.

- We need to talk.
- Mm-hm.

- Well, go on.
- No. Not here.

We have no secrets in this family,
do we, Fallon?

You sure have a way with women.

No, no, no, stay.
This should be good for a few laughs.

Go on, Dana.

Tell me how sorry you are.

I'll see you upstairs.

Tell me how disappointed you are.

Tell me you love me!

Well, you're right.
She has to stay now.

I mean, who could resist
that kind of charm?

You're damn right I'm serious
about a recount.

Because I think Rayford
is trying to steal this election.

Oh, come on. Yeah,
what you guys call political games,

I think a jury might call fraud.

If we can prove it, I think your boss
is going to find it a little difficult

to govern the state of Colorado
from a jail cell.

I think they're nervous. All of a sudden,
they want to put together a coalition.

The recount is already in motion.

I put a call
in to the secretary of state.

Blake.

Oh, sorry.

What is it? Are you all right?

Krystle is gone.

What do you mean she's gone?

She left the house
early this morning

and I've been all over Denver
looking for her.

I thought I spotted her car once,
but it got away from me.

She's just disappeared.

Well, I don't understand.

Have you guys been having
some problems?

Well, maybe it's the campaign.
I've been away so much. I...

I must find her.

- Is there something I can do to help?
- Yes.

Yes. Your friend down
at police headquarters.

Call him
and explain the situation to him.

Make sure that he knows
that this is a private matter.

I don't want the whole police force
involved.

Blake, please forgive me, but...

This isn't a marital problem, is it?

I have told you all I can.

Now, just ask your friend
to check the hospitals and the airport

and to look for her car.

And not to let anyone know
that she's missing.

Especially the family.

Please.

Please, make the call.

You're not really leaving.

I'm sorry about what happened
downstairs.

I had too much to drink.

It won't happen again.

I'd like to believe that, Adam,
for your sake.

Dana, please.

This doesn't have to be the end.

We had something wonderful.

Let's fight to get some of it back.

I've had enough fighting.

Dana, I've learned from my mistakes.
Give me the chance to prove it.

Dana, I need you.

I know.

To get your child back.

That's not the only reason.

Adam, it doesn't work
between us anymore, okay?

You can't say you never loved me.

Too much has happened.

It's time to let go.

- Please.
- Oh, Adam.

Please don't make this harder
than it is.

I can't just let you walk out.

Please. Oh, stop it, Adam.

You really hate me that much?

I don't hate you.

I love you, but it isn't enough.

Oh, I love you too. Oh.

We used to mean so much
to each other. What happened?

I don't know.

Let me kiss you.

Adam, this doesn't change anything.

- I'm leaving... I'm still... Adam.
- Dana, Dana, Dana.

Oh, God, you are so...

Adam.

Goodbye, Adam.

Dana?

Dana?

What's that all about?

I'm not sure.

Oh, Daddy,
I've been trying to reach you all day.

- You all right?
- I'm a little tired, that's all.

Let me know
when you hear from your friend.

Right away.

I wish somebody'd tell me
what's going on around here.

Your father and Krystle
are having problems.

Well, it doesn't take a genius
to figure that out.

Daddy's behaving strangely.

Krystle's been gone all day.

- What problems?
- I think we should leave them alone.

Did Daddy forget their anniversary?
What?

- I don't know, but you stay out of it.
- You do know. You're not telling me.

What reason would I have
to lie to you?

I don't know.

Your credibility is a little weak
these days.

I'll bet you told Goldilocks

some interesting stories
after I left this morning.

Let's forget about this morning.

The look on your face
when I walked in.

But I have to hand it to you.
You covered.

That was quite a performance.

Yours wasn't bad, either.

Which one?

In the living room

or in bed?

Hi, this is Jeff Colby.

I'm not in right now,
but please leave your...

Steven, you in there?

Steven?

Mommy?

Sweetheart?

What are you doing up so late?

I can't sleep.

- Did you have a bad dream?
- No.

- Well, then what's the matter?
- Where's Daddy?

Well, I'm sure he'll be here soon.

Can I wait up for him?

No, Danny, really, it's too late.

- Mom.
- Danny, I said...

You know something,
I'm not really tired, either.

How about if we make
some hot chocolate?

Yeah? I'll race you to the kitchen.

Oh. Oh! Go.

I'm gonna get you. Aah!

- Hello?
- Dr. Hampton for Blake Carrington.

Yes, I'm returning his call.

Well, I'm his daughter.
Can I help you, Dr. Hampton?

Oh, Fallon, I'll take that.

He's right here.

Hello...

Excuse me, will you please, darling?

- Hello, doctor.
- Mr. Carrington,

Dr. Aames has filled me in
on our wife's condition.

The headaches have gotten
progressively worse.

And there were these dizzy spells
and then erratic behaviour.

You know, it is possible
that this could be something

other than what we're afraid of.

Those were the manifestations
you told me to look for.

You yourself said it
when you examined her.

I know, I know, but let's wait
until I've seen her again.

How soon can you bring her
to Los Angeles?

- I don't know.
- Well, you can't wait.

Doctor, Krystle has disappeared.

We haven't been able to find her.

You have to.

She could be capable
of almost anything.

Dear God.

Under my skin.

Yeah.

I've got you, you, you
Deep in the heart of me.

Whoa!

- Whoo!
- Oh, not only are you gorgeous,

but you anticipate my every desire.

Oh, Dex.

Dex.

Do you know how much I love you?
Do you know? Hmm?

That's how much I love you.

Oh, you're my best friend
in the whole world, you really are.

You're the only man
who's man enough

to give me my space.

And this woman
really needs her space.

Speaking of space... Whoa!

Oh, darling,
I should never have let you go.

I'm never gonna let you go again,
I promise.

Never.

I love you so much. I could...
I love you, I love you.

I love you so much,
I could eat you up.

I think we'd better shift
into the bedroom, huh?

The bedroom, huh?

The bedroom?

Oh.

What a terrific idea.

I'll carry you.

Oh, Dex,
what have you been doing?

You're so heavy.

It's all those muscles that you've got.

Oh.

- So many muscles.
- Yeah. Heh.

I've got you.

Under my skin.

Some enchanted evening.

Just a moment.

All right, all right, I'm coming.

- You couldn't call?
- Huh?

You let the whole day go by
without picking up the phone?

- What time is it?
- I don't know, in the morning.

What difference does it make?

I called you half a dozen times.
I couldn't sleep all night.

- I was tied up with Blake.
- All day? Every minute?

- He had a rough day.
- So did I.

Every time I think of how you let Fallon
come...

- I'd better make some coffee.
- I don't want your coffee.

- Why didn't you call me?
- I said I spent the day with Blake.

What, he was upset
over the election?

No, no, it's something else.
Look, I'd better get dressed.

- What's wrong?
- I said it's nothing.

It's not nothing.
What is it? Ls it Krystle?

It is Krystle, isn't it?
She's been having these headaches.

When I called today, Jeanette
wouldn't put her on the phone.

I was gonna drive to the lake
to see if she was there...

The lake?

Yeah. She goes there
when she wants to be alone.

- Could you show me where?
- Now? Jeff, what's going on?

Just take me there.

She's disappeared, hasn't she?

I wish I had a camera.

Dex, I'm sorry about last night.

Oh, come on,
you put on a really good show,

up until the last act.

Well, I guess I fell asleep.

Well, you look wide awake now.

Oh, Dex, you wouldn't.

Of course, I would.

No, Dex, no.

No, Dex.

- No, Dex!
- You're coming in.

- Down you go!
- No! Don't touch me, you brat!

What are you doing?
I'm gonna divorce you again.

Lam, I swear to you.

You are just a brute, you know?
A real brute.

Terrible brute.

Do you like being a brute?

Morning, Daddy.

What are you doing up at this hour?

- Waiting for you.
- Oh.

That's very sweet of you, darling,
but...

Daddy, please, let me help you.

I know Krystle's been gone all night

and there was that call
from the doctor.

- Why are you shutting me out?
- I am not shutting you out.

Daddy, I'm your daughter.

Whatever it is, I wanna help.

Please.

Please go back to bed.

No.

Why don't you go wash up
and I'll fix you some breakfast?

What's the matter?

I was just thinking about the other
morning, what happened with Fallon.

I just feel bad.

You should.

No, you shouldn't.
It wasn't your fault.

There's the turnoff.

I remember Krystle telling me

that she could never get over the fact
that Blake owned his own lake.

I was here once when I was a kid.

It wasn't a lake then, it was a...

Like a mine
or some kind of an excavation

that Jason and Blake's father
were involved in.

You mean like a gold mine?

Well, whatever it was,
it never amounted to much.

Sammy Jo.

There's fresh mud and tyre tracks.

Jeff, come here.

This is Krystle's diary.
She's been here.

She never lets this out of her sight.

Look.

What is it?

My God, it's a body.

A body?

A body?

Oh, no. Krystle!
