09x11 - Tankers, Cadavers To Chance

[bunniefuu]

Zorelli, you are a cop,

and you are trying to put my father
in jail for m*rder.

Why am I here?

Maybe you were hoping
that if you and I got together,

then maybe I wouldn't be so hard
on your old man.

- You've got a lot of gall.
- Poor rich girl shows her true colours.

Well, I hope you got a good look
at those colours,

because it'll be a cold day in hell
before you see them again.

Last time on Dynasty:

You're sleeping with a man
that's trying to throw me into prison.

- You wonder why I don't tell you?
- You can't use him.

- You were shutting me out...
- You are sleeping with him?

That is nobody's business but mine.

You're paid, and very well.

And I politely asked you to leave,
now I am telling you.

- Time to go home, Mr. Gibson.
- Or what?

I don't think you want to find out.

- I never promised anything.
- Threw me like a used memory.

- Ginger. I mean, Virginia...
- Know what I was left with?

An empty promise
and four stinking arcade photos.

- Calm down. I can...
- Take your hands off of me!

- Just calm down!
- My, my, doesn't this look like fun.

I wondered if it was something to do
with your mining project.

Why would you think that?

It was the only project
that you and Jason had together

before the pipeline, of course.

But if there was any trouble
between Jason and Roger,

Jason wouldn't have given
a second thought

- about doing away with that man.
- What are we gonna do?

If the only way to call off the dogs
is to close out the m*rder case,

I'll confess to the m*rder
of Roger Grimes.

So I'm here at the stables
all by myself with some fresh hay,

and I just might need someone
to help me roll in it.

- That sounds tempting.
- So don't be too long, cowboy.

- I won't.
- Who's there?

- Call the fire department!
- Okay.

Everybody out!
Everybody out of here!

- We got a fire out here.
- There's a fire! There's a fire!

- Where's Sammy Jo?
- I don't know.

Last time I saw her,
she was in the barn.

Get some buckets!

Bring some shovels, get the hoses!

Oh, my God. Let's bring
those horses out of the barn.

Hurry up there, Victor!

Take care of him.

Sammy Jo!

Sammy Jo.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, you've been sh*t.

Just hang in there. Hang on.

It will be fine. It's okay.

Jeff, the whole place is gonna go!

Come on!

- Call an ambulance!
- All right!

- The ambulance is on the way.
- Good.

- Outside!
- Get them out of there!

- Go on! Push her out. Go on!
- Come on. Get back inside.

Oh, my God.
Get me some more blankets!

You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be all right.

Come on, bring in the buckets!
We need more buckets!

Just hang on. You're gonna be fine.

- Yeah, who's there?
- It's me.

After what you did to me
in that restaurant,

- you owe me.
- What did I do?

Gave me the worst cup of coffee
lever had in my life.

What are you doing here?

It's funny, you didn't seem
like that kind of guy.

- What kind of guy?
- The kind who chases a woman

and then as soon as he gets her
into bed, bingo, it's all over.

Enjoying the show, Mrs. Nowicki?

Fallon, listen to me, we can't do this.
We just can't do it.

- I know, but...
- Try to understand.

I'm on a m*rder investigation here.

Your father is a suspect.

If my captain finds out
I'm fooling around...

- Fooling around? What about me?
- You know what I'm talking about.

My father can barely look at me.
My family think I'm a traitor.

That's exactly
what I'm talking about here, Fallon.

- You shouldn't be here.
- Well, if that's the way you want it...

That's not the way I want it.

It's the way it is.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

I can't think of any other way.

- Can you?
- No, I guess not.

It's just the way it's gotta be.

Okay, well, that's it.

Um... You're gonna be cold.
Why don't you take my jacket?

No. No, because then
I'll have to bring it back

and we'll have to go through
all of this again.

Right.

Right.

This is crazy.

- Come on!
- Go!

It's gonna be fine.
It's gonna be all right.

Guys, come on over here.
She's losing a lot of blood.

- Hurry up!
- Here. Hold on to that.

Breaker, , clear.

Bob, let's go.

- You first.
- Yeah.

You rotten bastard,
who the hell are you?

We'll take care of him.
Don't worry, Mr. Colby.

I don't rate an ambulance?
I've been sh*t too, man.

Bright eyes, you'll live.
Just hope she does too.

It was sweet of you to
pick me up at the airport, darling.

- It's good to be home.
- Not bad.

You must have turned
a few heads in those.

Heh. Well, I wasn't in Natumbe
to turn heads, exactly.

I was there to make them roll.

And I managed to clear out a lot of
the dead wood in my European office.

Good. Some of those people
haven't had a pulse for years.

- Hm.
- What about the ships?

Oh, I played their little game
in Natumbe.

Greased a few palms
or in their quaint vernacular,

paid the fines
to the right government officials.

You know how to handle a situation,
don't you, Mother?

Darling, I handle people,
not situations.

Between Hamilton Stone
and that dreadful minister of trade

I really had my hands full.

But the important thing is

that my ships are going
to be back here very soon.

Great. I'm surprised
you didn't sail back with them.

Too many fires to put out here.

Hm. Like Fritz Heath?

How do you know about him?

I've had negative feelings about him
for a long time.

Why on earth didn't you mention it,
Adam?

- Come in.
- I just assumed that friend Dex

was on top of things.

Of course, I don't know when he finds
the time to do anything for you.

He spreads himself thin.

What exactly do you mean by that?

You have to ask Dex.

I thought the two of you
were on the outs.

Well, we were,
but nothing terribly serious.

Are you saying he might have been
seeing another woman?

- Well, that's none of my business.
- Oh.

But there's something very strange
going on with Krystle's cousin.

The other night
in front of the whole family,

she threw a drink in Dex's face.

Oh, she did?

And he seems to have some special
sort of chemistry with Sable.

Just trying to figure out
why she's around him.

Well, Adam, I'm back now.

So I'm just going to have to give her

some special chemistry lessons
of my own.

Mr. Carrington's in the library.
I'll tell him you're here.

Oh, thank you, Gerard.
Is Miss Metheny anywhere around?

She's in the solarium.
Shall I show you in?

No, it's okay.

How are you?

Look,

I know that you don't wanna see me
right now,

but there is another side
to the story.

I put some thoughts down on paper.

Please look it over.

Maybe you'll understand what I did.

Come in, Dex.
Close the door behind you.

I understand that Alexis is back.
Have you spoken to her?

She's still dealing with her ships.

Maybe it'll get her mind off you
and Roger Grimes.

I don't believe it, either.

Which is why I've been looking over
some things.

Now, this is everything I could
come up with on the Colterion project:

Blueprints, maps,
the tape that our fathers made.

I'm entrusting it to you.

- Well, to do what with?
- To put in a safe place.

Blake, if this situation blows up,

the cops are gonna
wanna talk to me too.

Right now, all they're investigating
is a -year-old m*rder.

Now, we can live with that.

Even if Alexis is determined
to make me hang for it.

What we can't have
is an investigation

that goes further
than Roger Grimes' m*rder.

Look, if this is evidence
against our families,

- why don't we just burn it?
- I've b*rned a few things.

There are some things in here
that could work to our benefit.

Especially if someone is trying
to unearth the collection.

Now, Dex, when it stared,

there were three of them: My father,
Jason's father and your father.

Now, of the three,
Sam is the only one that's still alive.

Now, I think it's time
that we got your father back into this.

I can't do that, Blake.
If I tell him, it'll tear him apart.

We're all being torn apart.

Don't you think that my heart cringes
at the nature of the crimes

that this collection
has been associated with?

Hi, this is John Zorelli...

- Now, where were we?
- Right here.

- Leave a message.
- Right here?

- Mm-hm.
- Hey, Z, R's Rudy.

Thought you might tike to know,
there's been a sh**ting at Delta Rho.

- What? Who got sh*t?
- Yeah, I'm here. What happened?

Some character sh*t
Sammy Jo Carrington.

- Sammy Jo?
- Sammy Jo?

- Is it serious?
- I don't know.

The guy caught a b*llet too.

Yeah, I'll meet you there.

What happened?
How bad is she hurt?

They don't know yet.
I'll take you to the hospital.

Hell you this, Hamilton,

if Alexis does have the Natumbe
officials in the palm of her hand,

you damn well better find a way
to open that palm.

Good bye.

You really seem to enjoy this game,
don't you?

Oh, of course.

Oh, speaking of games,

guess who I've just seen
at the casino.

- Who?
- Our friend, Mr. Dexier.

- Oh, really?
- Mm-hm.

- He's a fascinating man.
- Mm.

You've got to know him quite well,
haven't you?

Oh, what do you mean?

Like the time I came into your office,

you were both bouncing up and down
on that trampoline or whatever it was.

Well, I was just trying to get him
to reveal something.

And what did he reveal, Joanna?

Nothing yet.

But you seem to be particularly
interested in him.

Oh, yes.

Yes, I'm interested in all the pillars
that prop up my cousin.

Makes it that much easier
to knock them down.

I never thought of Dex as a pillar.

Tell me,
how often have you slept with him?

What?

When two heads lie on pillows,

it's amazing the amount of information
that can come out.

Sable, are you asking me to sleep
with Dex Dexier?

I'd assumed you'd already thought
of that for yourself.

Well, actually, I thought you were
the one interested in him.

Me?
Interested in my cousin's concubine?

Don't be so silly. Ha-ha-ha.

Jeff?

- Jeff?
- I'm right here.

- Where are we?
- You're in the hospital now.

Dr. Foley, to Radiology. Dr. Foley...

Get him out of here.

You're the one.

It's okay. He can't hurt you.

- It's all right.
- I know him.

I know that man.

I've seen him before.

- How is she?
- Well, she...

- No word from the doctor.
- Did she tell you what happened?

She keeps slipping in and out
of consciousness.

- How about you? Are you all right?
- Yeah, yeah. I'm fine.

And what could that man
possibly have wanted there?

The funny thing is,
just as we were wheeling her in...

- How serious is it?
- She's been sh*t in the stomach.

- She lost a lot of blood.
- She's gonna be...

We've been trying
to get in touch with you.

Hey, Z.

- You got here pretty fast.
- Yeah, you know how I drive.

Carrington girl just happened
to be hitching a ride.

Just back off, okay, Rudy?

What do you got?

I'm gonna get some coffee.
You want some?

- No, thank you.
- I'll take a cup.

Dr. Hammer,
report to nurses station, fourth floor.

- Dr. Hammer...
- Blake, as I was saying before,

Sammy Jo told me she thinks
she recognizes the guy who sh*t her.

She does?
Well, did she say who it was?

No. No, she didn't,
but she just feels she recognizes him.

- Mr. Colby, it looks promising.
- Oh, thank you.

Her vital signs are stable.

X-rays show
some small b*llet fragments.

It doesn't seem as though
it's caused any major damage.

Oh, that's wonderful news.

- When do you think we can see her?
- It's hard to say.

- We're prepping her for surgery now.
- Thanks.

Well, now,
do you need a ride home?

Daddy, it's not what you think.

I just wanted to tell you
I'm sorry about all of this.

I think my family can do very well
without your concern.

- Daddy.
- Okay. Okay.

What are you doing here?
You're supposed to be a homicide cop.

- Well, it just so happens...
- Don't start.

Okay, the latest on our boy
Heath is that he's a gambler.

We tracked him to a private casino

where he's dropped a bundle
over the years.

Which accounts for his dipping
into the till.

- We've got all the proof we need.
- Forget Heath.

What about Sable?

- Sable?
- Yes.

Have you been dipping into her till?

You're unbelievable.

Your company's going down, you're
worried about my sleeping habits?

Listen, cowboy.
There's only one reason

that woman is going after you,
and that's to get back at me.

I don't have to explain
what I'm doing or who I'm with

because you and I
don't have a relationship.

I spent three weeks
in that miserable,

mosquito-infested backwater
of a country,

and the only thing
that kept me going the entire time

was the thought when I got back,
you and I could make up.

Then why are you attacking me
with nonsense like this?

Oh, Dex, is it nonsense?

All right. You want to know
if I'm sleeping with Sable.

- Yes.
- Okay.

I'm not sleeping with Sable.

Now, if you don't mind,
you're in my way.

Oh, that's where I belong.

Look, Alexis,
I know why you're upset with me.

You know why I am upset with you.
It's called irreconcilable differences.

Ow!

Let's reconcile them. Hm?

That...

Oh, that's getting
harder and harder.

Well, some things
are worth working for.

So anyway,
there was L.B. holding the turtle

while Danny was scrubbing him
with my toothbrush.

I told him that they could give
the turtle a bath.

Are you gonna be all right,

- taking care of Danny?
- Oh, yeah, I'm gonna be fine.

I don't want you to think about that.
Think about getting better.

Sammy Jo,

Jeff said something about you
recognizing the man who sh*t you.

Was that right?

I rang the house,
they said you were here.

What happened?

I heard a noise,

grabbed my g*n.

The next thing I knew,
my stomach was on fire.

How terrifying.

It was fortunate that Jeff came along
to save her.

Oh. We'll have to treat you
like a hero now, Jeff.

Hello, Sable.

- Was it a burglar?
- No, I don't think so.

I saw this man before, Krystle and I.

- Krystle?
- When was that?

Right before the wedding
at The Carlton.

Krystle recognised him?

She said she had seen him
in her nightmare

coming out of the lake.

Coming out of the lake?

Yes.

But Krystle...

We all thought because Krystle
was sick that she was imagining it.

She really did see a second man
at the lake.

What is this guy... he's prowling around
at the lake

and now he's out a Delta Rho.

What is he after?
What does he want?

Well, Natumbe's a bizarre country.

Yes. I just got off the phone
with the minister of commerce.

Something very strange
going on there.

- That little customs formality?
- Yes. Well, they're holding the ships

for hours
before they release them.

Uh-huh.

- At a public auction.
- Public auction?

How can they?
Those ships are mine.

Well, the auction's not gonna last
more than two hours.

But that's a secret. That's why he says
there's nothing to worry about.

Who the hell do they think they are?

If that sandpit of a country
wants an international incident,

they're gonna get one.
Call the minister right away.

Tell him to call me here

and ask him if the word Marines
means anything to him.

- Hey.
- Hi, darling.

- Welcome back.
- Thank you.

You having problems?

Oh, just a minor setback,
but Adam's taking care of it.

Well, Adam's a walking setback.
I'm sure he'll be perfect for the job.

Darling, don't you two ever change?

Mother, I need to talk to you.

No, can you leave it?
I'm expecting a call.

- Yes.
- And could I have a mineral water?

Of course.

What do you want to talk about?

It's about those dreams of mine.

- You're still having those nightmares?
- Yes.

And they're always
about Roger Grimes.

Ever since I saw his body
in the morgue,

- I can't get him out of my mind.
- That is so strange.

And they're so vivid.
It's as if I really knew him.

Fallon, you were...

- You were years old when he d*ed.
- What was he like?

Was Daddy the only one
who could have wanted to k*ll him?

Darling, your father and I
are on the outs now,

so please don't get involved in this.

I didn't come here to talk to you
about Daddy.

No, I know you didn't, darling, but...

Excuse me.

Yes? Oh, thank you. Yes, Adam.

I just want you to know that
I talked with the minister in Natumbe

and I gave him your message.

He says everything
should be all right.

Good. It better be.

Thank you, darling.

Sorry, darling, where were we?

Mother,
let's just talk about the weather.

Hi, Adam.

Well, well, our sweet Virginia.

Who'd have thought it?

No thanks, Jeanette,
I'll take care of it myself.

Adam, I'm so glad I caught you.
Did you get to the minister yet?

Yes, the moment I brought up
the ships, he bent my ear

with a discourse on poverty
in Natumbe and how poorly he's paid.

Poorly paid?

That idiot could have bought
five houses on the Riviera

- with the fines that I paid him.
- I'm not sure that satisfied him.

Oh, Hamilton Stone should have
that idiot under control by now.

Damn it.
Now, the auction's in two hours.

Can you get to Hamilton Stone?
I'm sick of all this red tape, Adam.

Take these up to my suite,
would you, Charles?

Oh, my God,
don't tell me you're still here.

I thought you were just
a temporary infestation.

Well, Alexis,
I see you survived Africa.

It's a dangerous place
for most animals,

but no problem for you, of course.

The sable's an animal too, you know,
from the rodent family.

Mm. Speaking of the rodent family,
how are you, Adam?

Come to visit Mommy?

I hope you're not trying to climb out
onto the weakest limb

of the family tree, especially,
when it's about to fall to the ground.

I won't have my mother insulted.

Don't worry, darling,
I'll deal with this guttersnipe.

You go and make those calls.

Well, obviously,
you miss your own family so much

that you have to interfere with mine.

This from the woman
who's trying to rally her children

against their own father?

You had your little moment of glory

when you weaselled this hotel
out of me.

And that is the last thing of mine
that you're ever going to get

your grasping little claws on.

You may be surprised.

Everything that belongs to me
is in its rightful and proper place.

Well, I'm very happy for you.

But I thought I'd made myself clear
that this hotel was just an appetizer.

And what's the main course?
Dex or Blake?

I understand you've been chasing
both of them since I left,

although you didn't get far
with Dex, did you?

Jet lag has apparently dimmed
your bulb more than usual, Alexis.

What a pity that Krystle's still alive.
That does cramp your style rather.

Maybe you should send one
of your henchmen to Switzerland

and pull the plug on her.

I don't know another soul on Earth that
would make a remark as low as that.

Only you, cousin dear, only you.

I care for Blake as a close friend.

And if you choose to go after him
with a sordid m*rder accusation,

I personally will pull the plug on you.

That I'd like to see.

Well, hang onto your chair, deary,
because when I do

you'll certainly have a ringside seat.

How about the aquarium?
We can go to a planetarium?

- Any arium. You just pick it.
- No.

All right.
Hell you what we're gonna do today.

What we need is this.
We need discipline.

That's right. I'm going to tell you
what you're going to do today.

That sounds good to me.

What we're gonna do today is this:

You're gonna go to the circus
with Uncle Jeff. That's right.

And you're going to have fun.
F-U-N.

You're gonna eat hot dogs,
cotton candy, popcorn,

maybe drink a few sodas.

Maybe even get sick.

Do I have to?

What, get sick? That's optional.

Why don't you do me a favour?
Wait outside

while I lay down the law
to your mother.

- Do you have to be so hard on him?
- It's good for the soul.

I'll see you later.

Jeff, I didn't wanna ask
in front of Danny,

but did the police come up
with anything on that guy?

Nothing yet,
but don't worry, they will.

Okay, Danny, you drive.

I don't know who he is.

But I tell you, he's got a pattern
to what he's doing.

And you think you got a handle on it.

Well, some months ago
when Krystle came back from Dayton,

she told me
that she had a terrible nightmare.

She had dreamt
that she was out here at the lake,

and she saw Roger Grimes

and another man
come up out of the water.

Well, I figured
that she'd just been imagining it.

But now Sammy Jo tells me
that she and Krystle saw

that very same man at The Carlton.

And you think he's after it,
the collection.

I have a feeling that's exactly
what he's after.

Now, look.

Take a look at this.

Now, this is a map of the layout
of the property in .

We know that the man searched
Delta Rho at least twice.

Why Delta Rho?

Well, the stables
are where the headquarters

for Colterion Mining used to be.

That's where the collection
was buried first.

Now, we know that the man
made a dive here

at the little lake. At least once.

The time that Krystle saw him,
and the time that Grimes' body

floated to the surface.

- And he didn't find anything.
- No.

Because the collection
was not there.

The collection had been moved
under the big lake.

Maybe he even made a dive there,
but it wouldn't have helped him

because everything was buried
deep.

Blake, I never understood it.

You all must have known
that someday,

somebody would eventually
come after the collection.

Why not just destroy it?

We talked about it.

But I felt it to be wrong
to destroy something that precious.

And that if we buried it,
and buried it deeply enough,

that maybe sometime
in the distant future,

once the shame associated with it
had worn off,

that maybe somebody
would come along and dig it up,

and despite the stigma
associated with it,

the collection
would do some good.

Why not dig it up now?

No, the collection
is not the problem.

If it could be released to the world,
I'd do it.

But once you did release it
and it came to light,

we'd have to explain how it got here.

That could bring ruin to all of us.

A little dark to be taking pictures,
don't you think?

Not if you have the right film.

You know, I can't tell you
how nice it is to have you here.

Really.

You're artistic.

And you're sensitive.

Something this family's
sorely lacking.

Especially since Krystle left.

I didn't know you felt that way
about her.

Virginia, - Huh.

There's a lot you don't know about.

I love Krystle very much.

That's why I'm so glad
you stayed with us.

Thanks.

And what's really so remarkable is how
you've remained warm and sensitive.

- I mean, after all you've been through.
- I'm sorry, I don't understand.

What are you talking about?

Thrown out of your house
when you're just a kid,

having to survive on the streets.

Who told you that?

It's not important who told me.

L just want you to know
that I understand.

- Dex.
- It's all right.

I wouldn't dream of telling
anybody else.

Oh, God.

I can't believe it.

When did he tell you that?

Well, he didn't tell me directly.

I was visiting my mother
at Colbyco.

No.

No.

He told Alexis.

Virginia, I am so sorry.

I was stupid to have brought it up.
Forgive me.

If I'd had any idea...

Come here. Come on.
Come here. Come on.

It's okay.

Don't worry.

Everything is gonna be all right.

Your secret is safe with me.

I promise.

I promise.

Hello?

Yeah, it's Gibson.

Are you out of your mind?
How dare you phone me here.

Look, I've been trying to reach you
for hours.

I want you to get me out of here.

Give me two minutes.

You are not my responsibility.

Really? Maybe I ought to just tell them
who brought me here to Denver.

Who's been paying my WHY-

I didn't tell you
to break into Delta Rho.

I have done nothing criminal.

Maybe not,
but I know one thing for sure.

You've got something to hide
from somebody.

Now, either you get me out of here
fast,

or I'm gonna spread my name
and yours in every newspaper.

You just keep your mouth firmly shut
and I will do what I can.

You should have seen Danny
light up

when he saw the trapeze,
it was wonderful.

- Excuse me, Mr. Carrington.
- Yes?

That Sergeant Zorelli,
the one that was here before.

- Yes, yes, I know who he is.
- He's on his way in, sir.

- Guards at the gate let him through.
- They did?

- Daddy...
- Well, I'll take care of him.

- Daddy. Daddy, wait.
- Dad, careful.

I can't believe he'd have the nerve
enough to come in here.

Dad, let me handle this, please.

- What are you doing in my house?
- Your house.

Oh, yeah, your house,
your city, your state.

- It's your damn world.
- What are you talking about?

- Unless you're on official business...
- No, I don't have any.

Why? They took me off the case.

- They finally got good sense.
- You got fired?

No, they put me behind a desk.
Took my g*n.

- Sounds good.
- You have idea what that means?

- Like castration, isn't it?
- Happy now?

You got what you wanted.

- You'd better go.
- Whose strings did you pull?

- I had nothing to do with that.
- You expect me to believe that?

- You calling my father a liar?
- You sh**t your mouth off.

- He didn't mean it that way, Daddy.
- I'm a lawyer.

- They're gonna throw the book at you.
- The book?

- People like you write your own books.
- Get him out of here.

- Stop it! Let go!
- Get him out of here before I k*ll him.

I'll remember you said that.

How do you know my father's
behind it? Maybe he's not.

What's the matter?
I thought rich girls had brains.

Somebody else
could've taken you off.

- What about your captain?
- Funny thing.

I was beginning to think your father
had nothing to do with this m*rder.

Zorelli. Zorelli.

Zorelli.

Why is he so desperate
to have me taken off the case?

What is he so afraid
that I'm gonna find out?

You're as obsessed with him
as he is with you.

This isn't only about me, Fallon.

It's not just my work
we're talking about here.

It's also about you.

Look, I know you love your father.
I love my father too.

But this is your life,
and he's trying to control it.

- I'm going.
- Don't run off like this.

Don't run off?

Go on.

- Go back inside the house.
- Zorelli...

Go on.

- I don't wanna leave you like this.
- Fallon, I'm pulling out of here.

Are you ready for this?

You sure this is what you want?

Virginia, listen,
I can't tell you how terrible I feel

about hurting you the way I did.

No, no, no, forget it.
I know you didn't mean to.

I had no business
bringing up that thing with Dex.

- If I'd given a second's thought ...
- Look, Adam, really, it's okay.

It's just that I was beginning to feel
so close to you.

I don't know,
as if I could open up to you.

It's been a long time since there's been
anybody around here

- I could really talk to.
- Oh.

It's funny.

I never realised you're so lonely.

Oh, there's a lot about me
you don't know.

Have I...?

Have I ever shown you
a picture of my son?

Your son? No.

Come here.

That is the sweetest baby
I've ever seen in my whole life.

I can't believe how beautiful. Oh.

He's gonna grow up all alone.

Just the way we did.

I hate that.

It makes me so angry.

We have a lot in common,
you and I.

Your family abandoned you,
same thing happened to me.

And although I try to pretend it doesn't
bother me that I didn't grow up here,

that my father is closer
to his other children than me,

it does bother me.

No, you're wrong.

Adam, Blake loves you.

I'm sure he does.

Come on, he made you best man
at the wedding.

Can I tell you something?
Come on. Sit.

When I found out
what you'd been through,

of course, I felt awful for you.

But I liked you even more.

Because somehow,
I didn't feel so lonely anymore.

And you're so...

Oh, God.

You're so beautiful.

To hold someone's hand

and know that she understands.

Virginia...

Can I...?

Can I kiss you?

Adam, I'm not sure about this.

It's just that it's been so long.

For me too.

I think.

I could fall in love with you.

Send the Robinsons a bottle
of our best champagne, Robert,

- with my compliments.
- Yes, Mrs. Colby.

- Oh, The Iceman Cometh.
- I'm running late, Sable.

After bounding up the stairs
to wag your tail for Alexis,

I still say you're grovelling
in the wrong kennel.

Sable, I am not gonna bite.

This game ends up with me
getting my eyeballs washed out again.

Oh, you're still sore
about the other evening at the casino,

and I suppose you've told my cousin
I've got my eyes on Fritz Heath.

Why don't you check
with your sources?

Aren't they supposed to stay
on top of things?

Actually, I suspect it was you
that they were on top of.

So I'm gonna have to make
other arrangements.

Well, forewarned or not,
Alexis is outmatched.

And the fact that she knows
I'm on to her,

and she can't do a blessed thing
about it

makes the whole game
more intriguing, don't you think?

- Joanna.
- Hello, Dex.

All we need is one more witch
and a cauldron.

Oh!

They act like that
when they're smitten.

- I just heard from Hamilton Stone.
- Good news?

Oh, wonderful news
and he sent you this.

- It's amazing.
- What?

You're not at all
like they said you are.

You're really very sweet.

Well, it takes a sweet person
to see that.

- Did Dex ever tell you how we met?
- No.

- Wanna hear?
- Sure.

Well, it was right here in Denver.

I was about years old
but, of course, I looked a lot older.

Virginia, why did Dex put you
onto the street?

He never did that. That wasn't Dex.

Oh, that was before you met him?

No.

When I met Dex,

- he was a hero.
- Hey.

- Hey, what?
- You know what I am thinking about?

No, what are you thinking about?

Hello?

What? I can barely hear you.

What?

Are you sure?

How could you let that happen?

I told you to work
around Hamilton Stone.

Well, find out now.

- What's the matter?
- I've gotta go.

- Now?
- Yeah, afraid so.

I'm sorry.

I'll make it up to you, I promise.

I'm sorry.

- Who is it?
- Sable.

- Well, if it isn't my cousin, Sable.
- Oh, you know my name.

Why don't you use it?

And why don't you use this door and
slither back where you've come from?

And please don't make those ghastly
hissing noises as you go.

- It offends the neighbours.
- And I've come on a mission of mercy.

I know how upset you are about
your problems in Natumbe.

And feeling a...
Well, a sense of familial obligation.

I decided to do what I could
to help.

You reek of insincerity, cousin.

Or is it that you just reek?

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Do you recognise these?

They look like my tankers.

I came hereto assure you
that they're in very good hands.

Why don't you say what you mean,
cousin?

They are beauties, aren't they?

There's only one major flaw.

That's the emblem on the stack.

They'd look so much better

with my company logo on.

Don't you think?

Sable, I wish you'd crawl back
into your hole

and take your Halloween tricks
with you.

Oh, dear, it's not sinking in, is it?

I have just bought your ships
at auction, Alexis.

What?

For cents on the dollar.

I don't believe it.

You once asked me
what I wanted from you

and I said everything you've got.

Let's consider this
the second installment, Alexis.
