We both know that
that body means nothing

compared to what could float
to the surface.

Last time on Dynasty:

You are here because I thought there
was something in the lake. Now I'm...

Oh, there is, all right.

And what did you find besides a body
that floated inconveniently

to the surface to cause a lot of trouble
for a lot of people?

A passageway.

There are things in people's lives
that they don't tell anybody.

- Yes, I know that, but...
- Fallon. You love Blake?

Of course I do.

So don't put him on the spot
by asking questions he can't answer.

Protect him. He's your father.

Oh, Virginia.

This is Dex Dexter-.

This is Krystle's cousin Virginia.

These are divorce papers.

What it says is,

that if I come out of this operation

and I can't hear or speak
or recognise you,

that my divorce from you
will become a*t*matic.

Do you know
what you're asking me to do?

I'm asking you to keep me
from becoming a burden

to the people I love.

I want tonight to be a celebration

of all the shared moments
of our lives.

With this ring...

I thee wed.

With this ring...

I thee wed.

I love you more than I can ever say.

And I love you.

I hope they have
a wonderful honeymoon.

It's not going to be a honeymoon.

What?

The doctor just called.

He wants them to fly directly
to the clinic in Switzerland.

The operation is scheduled
for the day after tomorrow.

- Uh, help.
- Zorelli. I don't believe it.

Just give me a hand, please.
Thank you.

- What are you doing?
- Well, actually, I think I'm...

.falling! " Aah!"

Sorry.

What are you doing here?

Well, I had an extra hour to k*ll,
you know.

So you thought you'd pester me?

No, my skating was just a little rusty,
so I thought I'd get some practice in.

How often do you skate?

- Including today?
- Yeah.

Once.

What do you want, Zorelli?

Did it ever occur to you that maybe
I just enjoy your company?

Never.

- You don't think I'm sincere?
- Not in the least.

Well, actually I can appreciate that.

What I do think is,

beneath all of that little-boy charm
lives a very shrewd cop.

Little-boy charm.

Is that a good thing to have?

I don't know yet.

- Um... Do we have to go so fast?
- Oh, we're just warming up.

Oh, great.

Well, I gotta tell you,
I'm really not loving this.

- Oh, all right then, we'll play a game.
- Okay.

- Is it called stop?
- No, it's called cr*ck-the-whip.

- No. No.
- Yes. Happy landings.

Oh, oh, oh. Whoa!

All right. Here we go.

You feel a bit lost?

Yeah.

Especially with Krystle gone.

I came to Denver
because she needed me,

- and now...
- She still needs you.

She doesn't need anybody now.

I had her for such a short time.

And then to lose her again.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Well, fire him.

His pate tastes like meatloaf
and his soufflés are like pancakes.

No, it doesn't surprise me to hear
that the previous owner loved the chef.

My cousin never has had any taste.

Maurice leaves The Carlton.

Thank you.

I forgot Alexis is your cousin.

Please don't apologise.
It's something I'd sooner forget.

I can't imagine Blake being married
to someone like her.

And I think, in retrospect,
neither can he.

Look, if we are ever going to get
to this gallery opening...

These will be perfect.

Oh, my gosh! I can't...
Sable, I couldn't.

- Yes, you can.
- No.

You'll pay me back.

You know what I would love?

I would love some copies of the photos
that you took at the wedding.

- Sure.
- Especially of Krystle and Blake.

And maybe one of Dexter.

- You took a lot of him, didn't you?
- No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.
With Fallon and with Jeff.

I just wanted to be sure
we got everybody.

Not that I blame you.

Dex is quite a specimen.

Now, he used to be married
to Alexis too, you know?

And she still has her claws in him.

It seems that the only way
her husbands

can be complete free of her is to die.

Look, I must get ready.

Alexis, you're , miles away
and you're still giving orders.

Goodbye, Alexis.

She giving you a hard time again?

Oh, what else is new? Mm.

But it looks like she greased
the right palms there.

- The ships will be on their way home.
- Good, good.

Glad you're here. Painter's on his way
over with Fritz Heath's phone records.

- Did he find anything?
- Look at this.

See this account?

A $ , withdrawal.

And here...

Five-hundred thousand.

Both made last week.

Right.

And over here.

Now, that is a total of
and a half million Colbyco dollars

transferred out of six accounts
and stockpiled.

Four and a half million?

Same amount as the Vitron payment,
which just happens to be due today.

Now, Fritz Heath swore
Vitron would come in.

But he forgot to mention
that it was coming in

out of Colbyco's own accounts.

It's open.

- Painter.
- And here we have

every phone number
out of Heath's office

for the past couple of months.

You got names and addresses
on all of these?

Oh, you betcha.

Except for these two.

This first one, I think,
is a private line out of Colbyco.

Yeah, it could be.

- And this one right here.
- It's an L.A. number.

Yeah. Yeah, we got the name,
but the number's been disconnected.

- Said the lady moved out of town.
- I can't believe this.

I can help us outwith this.

- You know who it is?
- I think so.

Hey, is this California's sexiest gift
to Denver?

Tell me it's my lucky day that you're
free and I can pick you up for lunch.

Oh. Well, Mr. Dexier,

I was looking for a good excuse
to get out of here.

Well, I'm on my way.

Well, well, well.

The lady told me
she was into twists and turns.

I should have remembered.

How did it happen?

You told me you put together one
of the best medical teams in the world.

- What happened?
- Blake.

I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.

I keep seeing Krystle's face
before they wheeled her into surgery.

Smiling. Optimistic.

With all the things that I have,

even with all the money I have,

I couldn't help her.

Blake, it's over.

Charles, I...

I tell you,
I don't know what I'm gonna do.

- You go home. That's what you do.
- To what?

To your family, your children.

You've been in Switzerland
for over two weeks now.

Kristina needs you more than ever.

Blake, you've got a life to lead.

I can't leave Krystle
when she's like this.

- Blake, she's dead.
- No!

She's dead, Blake.

Her head's still b*ating,
but she's dead.

What about her mind?

What makes you think that she
can't hear, that she can't understand?

There's no significant brain activity.

Nobody's saying that we should cut off
the life support system.

Medically, Krystle's still alive.

But I'm telling you,
not as a doctor but as a your friend,

you've got to accept it. She's gone.

Besides, the two of you
had an understanding.

You agreed
to the terms of her living will,

and there were divorce papers.

I don't give a damn
about the papers.

Well, she did, and for good reason.

She knew it might come to this,

and she wanted freedom
for both of you.

So I'm just supposed to just leave?

Not even take time to mourn?

Blake, you've been mourning her
for three years now.

Ever since I first told you
about her condition.

Charles, I know what you're saying
and I respect it.

L just don't think I can do it.

You've got to let her go, Blake.

For your sake.

For your family's and for Krystle's.

It was her last wish.

You owe it to everyone to honour it.

Actually,
I think you'd really enjoy fencing.

I'm not exactly the graceful type.

Mrs. Colby, excuse me,
you have a call from Los Angeles.

Oh, thank you, Robert
I'll take it in the office.

Well, we nearly made it out.

Look, you just wait here.
It shouldn't take long.

Ooh. Excuse me.

Well, what a surprise.

I hardly recognised the two of you
without your trampoline.

Dexier, you met Virginia
at the wedding, I believe.

Oh, yes, we did. Krystle's cousin.

You remembered.

And this is Joanna Sills, my vice
president in charge of acquisitions.

Hello.

Mr. Dexier and I were just finishing
some details on the hotel sale.

How very fortunate Alexis is

to have someone working so hard
on her behalf.

Very thorough of you, Joanna.

Well, what do you think?

- What?
- My face. You've been staring at it.

- I wasn't staring at it.
- Ha-ha.

You should be used to women
appraising you by now, Dexier.

A man so dashing
and who flaunts it so well.

Joanna, may I have a word with you,
please?

Sure.

Well, don't mind her.
She just says things sometimes.

I was really sorry
to hear about Krystle.

- Were you?
- Yes.

Blake and I are very close friends.

And Krystle too?
Were you close to her?

Look, I don't know
what this is about, miss.

If I've offended you in some way,
just tell me.

I wasn't aware there were any
loose ends to tie up on the hotel sale.

Oh, there aren't, but I have a feeling
that Dexter is after something else.

He called me earlier today,
invited me to lunch.

Mr. Dexter has never struck me
as a let's-do-lunch type.

I wonder if there's
some special favour he expects.

Oh, well, whatever it is,
I'll fill you in later.

Assuming, of course,
that it's pertaining to business.

Oh, of course it is.

Good.

I have always trusted your judgement,
Joanna.

You know, the wonderful thing about
doing business with another woman

is one generally knows exactly
what the other is thinking.

Well, I think we're finally ready.

Nice to see you, Dexier.

Same here, Sable.

Have a lovely afternoon.

- I'm so relieved I didn't lose you.
- What?

To Miss Congeniality.

She couldn't take her eyes off you.

Yeah.
I wonder why I'm not flattered.

Please?

Okay, Danny, that's enough.

But Aunt Krystle taught me how to ride
without a saddle.

Krystle's not...
Look, we'll talk about it later.

- That means no, doesn't it?
- Not always. Uhn.

Now, you go on into the house.
I'll take Ranger in.

There sure are a lot of ways
to say no.

Hank?

Clint?

Mommy, what's wrong?

- Oh, God.
- What happened?

I'm not... I'm not sure.

How come you're on the ground
like that?

I don't know, sweetheart
Just help me up.

Miss Carrington,
what happened here? Hold on.

- L just want to get my bearings.
- You okay?

Someone was in here.
I guess they jumped me. Uhn.

If it was one of the hands,
believe me, I'll find out...

I don't know.
They just surprised me.

I'll find out who he was.
Here, let me help you up to the house.

You can lean on me, Mommy.

I know I can, sweetheart Let's go.

Ow! Ow.

Don't be such a baby.
It'll help bring down the swelling.

- It's very cold.
- My hero.

cr*ck-the-whip, huh?
I think you broke my ankle.

It's not broken.

This is some way of saying thanks.

Thanks? For what?

Your boyfriend out at the lake,
I thought maybe you'd like to know

that we've been closing in
on an ID on him.

Fast work, Zorelli.
It's only been, what, two months?

Harmon Springs
is a very small department.

We don't have the resources
or the manpower...

Well, you certainly know
how to make a citizen feel protected.

We did stumble onto something
very interesting.

I notice you're pretty good
at stumbling.

You know that mining company,
Colterion?

Time to go, Zorro.

Ow. Ow.

It's clever how they got that name,
isn't it?

Col for Colby, Ter for Dexier,
Ton for Carrington.

Funny, I never knew that those three
families were in business together.

Colterion.

You know, I hear after years of
mining, they never hauled up anything.

If you're asking me a question,
you're asking the wrong person.

I don't know one end of a mine
from the other.

- Hey, I'm just making conversation.
- You never just make conversation.

As a matter of fact, I have been
trying to track down your father.

I hear he's out of town?

You didn't know about Krystle?

I heard she had some kind of operation
or something.

Yeah. Some kind of operation.

I don't know much about it.
Was it serious?

- Yes.
- I'm sorry.

Look, L.B.'s done with his lesson.
I gotta go.

Hey, hey, hey.

After what you did, you're not gonna
buy pizza that we keep talking about?

You keep talking about.

Why don't you take some aspirin?

It'll be a lot better
for your ankle than pizza.

So I guess a ride home's
out of the question, huh?

All right, Dex.
I have waited through two martinis,

a piece of dry fish,

and one hour of you trying
to flatter the pants off of me.

Did I succeed?

Well, I'll let you know
as soon as you tell me

what you really wanted
to talk to me about.

- You interest me.
- Mm.

You know all the right moves,
you know how to play the game.

I think you're on the wrong team.

Don't tell me
you're offering me a job.

Does the idea shock you?

Well, I know what I would do
for Dexier.

I'm not sure what I would do
for Dexier Enterprises.

Well, I'm not sure either

but, as you know,
I'm expanding rapidly.

Yes, I noticed that the other night.

Well, especially in the area
of land acquisition,

I've done
some preliminary head-hunting.

Looking at a few good people.

Jed Harris at Hanford Oil.

Fritz Heath at Colbyco. Know them?

Mm. I don't think so.

Moneymen. I'm a bit surprised
you haven't heard of them.

Not in Harris' case, but Fritz Heath,
he's been around a long time.

- Has he?
- Yeah, Alexis says he's a good man.

Oh, then I sincerely hope
you get him.

And you're not interested?

I'm not so sure I'd be comfortable
working with someone

as complicated as you.

- Me?
- Mm-hm.

I'm just a simple kind of guy.

Right.
Who's still involved with his ex-wife,

has a strange young woman
who's fascinated with him,

and has just offered a job to a lady
whose boss is also interested in him.

Come on, Sable can't stand me.

Well, I could be wrong.

You could be wrong about me too.

Well, there's always that possibility.
I never completely close doors.

Anyhow, thanks for lunch.

Next time, it's on me.

Good.

I'll order something I can lick off.

Men like Dexier,

they make wonderful lovers.
Wonderful.

But trust them?

Take them seriously? Never.

I don't think
there's any danger of that.

Oh, you're drawn to him
and that's dangerous.

Remember that whatever he says
to you, whatever he does,

his ultimate loyalty is to Alexis.

You could say
that they deserve each other

but, frankly, nobody deserves Alexis.

We're repainting
and fixing things up a little.

Where did it happen?

Back there, in the tack room.

I noticed that the lock was broken
so I opened the door

and, Wham,
he just knocked me down.

It was probably one of those kids
that Clint hired.

He knew he wasn't supposed
to be in there and he got scared.

Maybe you should beef up security.
Is anything missing?

No. Clint and Hank
checked everything.

And see?
They've even changed the locks.

Well, now that we're alone...

So that's why
you brought me out here.

Oh, that never crossed my mind.

- But if we have to be here...
- Oh, we don't have to be here.

Oh, it's funny, I mean, here we are.

- Destiny put us here.
- Destiny?

- We didn't have to come out here.
- You said you wanted to look around.

Sammy Jo,
it's been such a long time.

- Since what?
- Since anything.

Oh, really?

No accidental meetings
with any ex-wives?

I was a jerk.
That thing with Fallon was...

Inevitable is the word
that comes to mind.

Guess what's inevitable right now?

- Let's see.
- Ah.

Must bring something to mind.

Feeding the horses?

I figured that while we're here...

Wouldn't want it to be a complete
waste of time, is that it?

I missed you.

I don't know. I mean, the horses...

Oh, the horses aren't gonna tell
anybody.

No, I don't know.
I just never quite trusted that pinto.

Well, I had a nice long talk with him.

I missed you too.

I think this is what they call
a roll in the hay.

Giddyap, horsie.

Let me help you out.

The Vitron payment
was and a half million dollars.

Now, by some strange coincidence,
over the past few days,

you have withdrawn funds
from six separate Colbyco accounts

and dumped them into a seventh.

Guess how much money
is in that account?

Four and a half million. So?

So.

The Vitron payment
was supposed to be income.

Income.

That and a half million
didn't come in, it was already here.

Well, these six accounts
weren't earning enough interest.

L just rolled them over into one
jumbo account that pays more.

Yeah, but that money,

that and a half million
was ours to begin with.

It was supposed to be new money
from Vitron.

I wanna know where that money is.

It's right here.

Ha-ha. I can understand
how you got the wrong idea.

I set up this deal thinking that
that cheque would be in on Tuesday.

And then when it wasn't,
I just shifted the funds.

Well, that makes sense, doesn't it?

Yeah.

It's almost scary.

Tell me, Fritz.

What have you got in mind
for the million

due from Strasser/Silicon?

I'm working on that.

Oh. How is Mrs. Colby faring
in Africa?

She should have her ships ahoy
any day now.

Great.

She's some lady, isn't she?

Mm-hm.

Yo, yeah.

He's on his way down.

Did you get anything on him?

No. He's so damn clean,
he squeaks.


I wanna find out
where he hides his dirt.

Where have you been?

I went to Copenhagen
for a good Danish.

Funny man. What's with the foot?

What is this, questions?
I tripped.

- You did more than trip this time.
- Good morning, captain.

I got a bill here from the bureau for
some photo you sent them last week.

- Oh, here we go.
- Oh, that.

Well, you see, sir,
I had Fallon Carrington come in

and check out a morgue sh*t
of the stiff we found,

and while she was looking at it,
she pulled out this other photo...

You told me all that already.
And I told you we couldn't afford

pouring department money
into a m*rder case that's years old.

Yes, sir, I know that...

But you went behind my back
anyway.

I'm sorry, sir,
but you see, back in Philly...

This isn't Philadelphia.
This is Harmon Springs, Colorado.

And in Harmon Springs, Colorado,
sergeants follow their captain's orders.

- Yes, sir, but...
- You've been here less than a year

and from day one
you're trying to find some case

you can turn into a headline
and make a career out of it.

That's not fair, sir.

I know the Carrington's are important,
but the fact is we have a m*rder.

We can't even identify a -year-old
stiff, much less find out who k*lled him.

That makes me upset.

That makes me want answers,
I call that being a good cop.

And I call it grandstanding.

You wanna solve murders?

We got three
that don't go back six presidents.

Work on them.

And you.

You ever wanna make lieutenant?

Make sure that your partner
keeps his nose where it belongs.

Yes, sir.

Can't say I didn't warn you.

Homicide.


Yes, Mr. Homicide,
I'd like to speak to Mr. Zorelli, please.

And what do you want?

Well, I was thinking of apologising
for yesterday, but...

You know, because of you I have
my butt and my ankle in a sling now.

You must look adorable
in that position.

That's cute.

I'm limping around the office
like some deputy out of Gunsmoke,

Marshall Dillon just busted my chops
for ruffling your family's feathers.

Man, are my ears working right?

I could say I'm sorry.

You know, on Thursdays, I usually jog
to Oronetto's for a pizza,

but now I'm crippled,
I'll have to eat doughnuts.

If my ankle's not much, much better,

I'm gonna have Richards
drive me home.

Heh. You're in for a long wait, brother.

Oh, you're breaking my head,
Zorelli.

Well, that just about makes us even,
doesn't it?

Well, then let's quit now.

Adam.

Shut up. Okay?

You want it quiet?

Keeping your foot in your mouth.
Might be good for your ankle.

Ow! Ow. Ow.

Good, Zorelli. Very good.

Checking for dust?

No. This was one of Krystle's
favourite pieces.

I never liked it.

We didn't get that close.

But now that she's gone, I miss her.

She was so good for Dad.

She'll be back. I know it.

I hope so, but...

Now, I'm curious about your mother.

Tell me about her and Dex.
They were married, weren't-J?

Dad, you're back.

Would you take these, please?

Hello, Adam.

Daddy.

Hello, darling.

She didn't come back, did she?

No. She didn't come back, darling.

I wanna thank you all

for making our wedding
the celebration that it was.

I can't tell you what it meant to us.

Krystle never stopped talking
about it.

Your love and joy carried us along.

Right up to the time of the surgery,
we held onto our hope

and we kept telling each other that,

oh, in a week or so, we...
We'd be back on our honeymoon.

As I told Kristina upstairs,

the one question you all have

is the one
that I don't have an answer to.

I just don't know

if Krystle is ever going
to come out of her coma.

Oh, God.

The only way we can deal with that
is to accept it.

Krystle is gone.

But she's not dead.

Sammy Jo, Krystle's spirit
will never leave this house

nor any of our heads.

But I am determined
to carry out her wish

that our lives must go on.

They must.

Uh...

Some years ago...

Krystle and I visited
an old monastery in Portugal.

They had a beautiful wine cellar,

filled with lots of port wines,

and this one was very special.

They called it their porto de vida.

Port of life.

Yeah.

And they told us that if we
drank the wine from that bottle

that we'd have eternal life
and good fortune.

They gave us the bottle
and we never opened it.

The plan was to...

Was to open it
on our th wedding anniversary.

But...

To Krystle.

- Krystle.
- To Krystle.

And maybe someday, God willing,

Krystle and I will...

You can't let go of her either.

I thank you all for being here.

And I thank you for listening to me.

It's too bad
Fallon couldn't be here for this.

Adam.

Yes.

Yes, where is she, anyway?

I don't think you wanna know, Dad.

Mm. She's with that detective again.

Blake.

Jeff told me you were back.

I'd better go check on Kristina.

I don't know what to say.

Thank you.

I'm glad you came.
We need to talk, you and I.

Excuse us, please.

You had to bring up Fallon,
didn't you?

- She should have been here.
- I agree with you.

But you didn't have to throw it
in his face.

Dex, how much do you know
about Colterion?

Just what my father told me,

that it was a venture
between the three families.

Started out as a mining operation.

And?

Well, at one point,
they got involved in something

that had nothing to do with mining.

He said that

if what happened down at the bottom
of the lake ever came to light

that it would put shame
on the families.

Let me tell you what my father said
to me about this thing.

He said, "Son,
whenever you have children",

you better protect them.

"Never let them see
what you've done wrong."

You're saying
that my father went wrong?

The three of them did.

Your father, my father
and Jason Colby.

But that's all done, that's all finished.

What you and I have to do now
is we have to protect that secret.

I've spoken to Alexis.
Now, she hasn't mentioned you,

but I'm sure she hasn't forgotten
about Roger Grimes.

Yeah, but Alexis is our problem.

Now, this Grimes thing
has nothing to do with the project

or what happened
at the bottom of that lake.

But when Alexis gets back,
if she calls for an investigation,

they're going to be going through
this whole thing we're talking about

with a fine-tooth comb.

It could open up everything.

You wanna know
if there's anything I can do to stop her?

Dex, I need to know
where you stand.

Well, there's no love lost between her
and me right now, I can assure you.

Yeah, but what about tomorrow?

You and Alexis have always
had your ups and downs.

Blake, you've already said it.

This is as important to the name
of my family as it is to yours.

I'll do anything I canto protect it.

Good.

- Problems?
- Hamilton Stone.

I told him
not to underestimate that barracuda.

Don't tell me
Alexis is going to get her ships back.

Well, she's already made contact
with the royal family down there,

you know how easily impressed they
are with cheap trinkets like herself.

She's has also managed
to put out most of the fires

we started
in her overseas offices.

I swear, I sometimes wonder

if she doesn't have a spy of her own
sniffing around my offices.

Which reminds me.

How was your lunch
with Mr. Dexier, Joanna?

- Well, he offered me a job.
- Really?

Yes. And he brought up
Fritz Heath's name several times.

Oh, on a fishing expedition, was he?

Seems like it.

I wonder.

Now, we made the initial contact
with Mr. Heath.

I wonder if he told Dexter that we
were trying to get in touch with him.

I only ask because Heath
phoned our L.A. office today,

because we'd been missing each other
by phone,

and he wants to get together.

Should I set it up?

Maybe.

But first, I think we should get
a little more background on Heath.

We've searched high and low
for the weak link in Colbyco.

Let's just make sure that it is Heath,

that it's not just that Dexter is trying
to use him as a Trojan horse.

Your left fool's
really bothering you, huh?

Oh, man, you better believe it.

- You've had a run of bad luck lately.
- Yes, I have.

Because yesterday
it was your right foot.

Oh, yeah. Right. Right.

Anyhow, I didn't want you to starve.

This is nice. This is very nice.

I just thought, if you couldn't walk,
and you couldn't drive,

and then you d*ed of starvation

that maybe your partner
would arrest me for manslaughter.

Anyway,
your ankle looks a lot better.

I'm a tough cop.
I work through the pain.

Brave man.

Get in.

Warm.

You prefer it cold?

Hot. A pizza should be hot,

dripping with onions
and cheese and anchovies,

- if a person likes that kind of thing.
- I'll try to remember that.

- I wasn't being critical.
- Really?

You can't stay away from me,
can you?

How would you like that warm pizza
in your face?

That's not exactly
what I had in mind.

Hey, what are you two
doing in there? Oh-ho.

Zorelli. You got lucky.

You know,
this pizza really is just warm.

Next time, I'll bring a microwave.

I know a place
where we can heat it up.

Get in your car. I'll follow you.

What is this?

- Here.
- Mm.

Virginia.

Uh... This is a real surprise.

You really don't remember me,
do you?

- Of course I do.
- No.

Before yesterday at The Carlton.

Before the wedding.

Come on, Dex, think real hard.

Look, if we've met before,
I mean, before this week, just tell me.

- Bastard.
- Look, if I've done something to you...

Done something?

What could you possibly have done
and then forgot about?

Excuse me.

- Hello.
- It's Joanna.

Hi. I can't believe this.

- Just wanted to see if you were home.
- Yeah, but it's hard...

Hard to keep track of all the women
in your life, isn't it, Dex?

I'll talk to you a little later.

Oh, I've been thinking
about Fritz Heath.

Heath? What about him?

You were on a fishing expedition
at lunch, weren't you?

How many have there been, Dexier?

Fifty? Five hundred?

What are you talking about
a fishing expedition?

You had no intention
of hiring either Fritz Heath or me.

You just wanted to get my reaction
when you mentioned his name.

And you didn't have one. Now
you're telling me that you know him?

L think we need to talk.

Now, Dex.

Do you remember me now?

Oh, yeah, Bonnie.

Was I that forgettable, Dex?

No, I...

Oh, good God...

What's the matter, Dex?

Always so smooth,
so sure of yourself.

Haven't you got anything to say?

Yeah.

I know. I'm a little different, right?
A little older?

A hell of a lot wiser.
But it's me, Dex.

I used to call myself Ginger.

I guess I should have remembered.

You damn well should have.

You're so beautiful.

I am not interested in how
Alexis wanted the dining room to look.

She wouldn't know an elegant
restaurant from a greasy spoon.

Speaking of which...

Ah.

Jeffrey.

Twenty minutes late.

I guess that's right on time for you.

Poor Jeff.

Little things always meant such a lot
to you.

May I get you something,
Mrs. Colby?

Oh, no, thank you, Robert
I won't be staying long.

All right.

Well, isn't this quaint?
Just the two of us.

You've been here a few months.

It was time that we sit down,
have a little talk.

I agree.

But why is it I get the feeling

that you didn't ask me here
to kiss and make up for old times?

I'm curious.

What are you doing here in Denver?

Enjoying the climate.

Look, there are good
business opportunities here.

It also gives me an opportunity
to rebuild my life after Jason.

You never could get over the fact
that he turned out to be my father.

And that he and my mother
ran off together.

Oh.

What a unique way you have
of ingratiating yourself.

I don't owe you anything.

After all of your att*cks on me
for all those years,

I don't owe you a damn thing.

Then, what is running through that
relentlessly brainless head of yours?

I told you.
What are you doing here in Denver?

And for the life of me, I can't imagine
that it's any of your damn business.

I can't imagine your thinking
it's a secret.

I beg your pardon?

It's brilliant. It's perfect timing.

Krystle gets sick,
Blake needs some support.

You come along to provide comfort.

Are you suggesting
that there's something wrong

in my helping Blake and Krystle?

Helping? Ha-ha-ha.

You planned the wedding.

Oh, you befriend Krystle's cousin,

Blake or Krystle need anything,
you're right there.

Some people
would call that being kind.

Some people might think
you came along to fill a particular void.

Now I have that quivering feeling

you're about to insinuate something
that should be beneath even you.

Look, I know you, Sable.

You may think
you're fooling the Carrington's,

but you're not fooling me.

Ever since my father
had the good sense to get rid of you,

you've been on the prowl
for a new coat of arms.

Now, Blake's a free man.
Isn't that why you're here now?

Oh, Jeffrey.

What is one to do with you?

I suppose that I should know by now

how that disgusting
little mind of yours works.

You fouled
the very roots of my family,

so naturally you would assume
that I would do the same.

No.

I am not after Blake Carrington.

Not in the way that you mean.

Well...

if I'm wrong, you have nothing
to worry about, do you?

But just remember,

the Carrington's
haven't seen your act before.

But I have.
