09x14 - House Of The Falling Son

Post by bunniefuu »

- I'm talking about Virginia!
- I didn't do anything!

- The hell you didn't!
- Last time on Dynasty:

With her, Adam, huh?

Slap her around a little bit?
Make you feel like a man?

Why don't I take a quick shower,

then we'll have a little dinner
and, uh...?

Oh, God, what an idiot I've been.

Daddy was right. You were just
seeing me so you could spy on him.

If you're interested in him,
the field's clear. I'm not in the way.

Oh, do let me understand this.

If I developed an attraction for Dexter,
I have your permission to pursue it?

I didn't mean it that way.

Then you should learn to say
what you do mean, and very quickly.

You were diving in a lake, but you
didn't know what you were looking for.

It had to be gold.

Maybe coins, you know? Something
you're trying to hide from Uncle Sam.

Mr. Gibson, you're a fool.

Don't you think if there was something
valuable buried on my land

- that I would've dug it out myself?
- You're gonna get me out of here.

Don't make deals
with people like you.

Carrington, come back here!
I can hurt you when I get out of here!

If Alexis goes after Blake
for k*lling Roger Grimes,

she's also attacking me.

Now, Alexis knows
where I've drawn the line.

Destroying Blake
is Alexis' life's work.

There's only one way to stop her,
and that's with a sharper axe.

This is big enough

to bring down Colbyco
and Alexis Colby on top of it.

- But I want more.
- How much more?

Five million dollars.

I thought
that would be your reaction.

- Put that g*n away.
- It has gone too far.

No!

Please, this is crazy. Don't do it.

- Do you think I wanna do this?
- No. No, I don't.

It's just gone too far.
I came hereto discuss business.

Mr. Heath,
it is very difficult to discuss anything

with a g*n pointed at my head.

Well, you've forced me to.

Mr. Heath, you are a very reasonable,
very intelligent man.

Oh. Oh, I know what you're trying to do.
You're trying ...

What ever can you gain
by sh**ting me?

Nothing.

I know
that you don't want to sh**t me.

But if that g*n goes off,
it is over for both of us.

No, I don't...

I don't wanna do this,
but you pushed and you pushed...

You're right.

Forgive me.

I didn't know how far it had gone,

but we can work through this.

Just sit down there

and we'll talk.

All right.

You see,

what Sean Rowan did at Colbyco,

it's like what...

They wrecked
a very important takeover deal.

You don't know how big this is.

Mr. Heath, I am very willing to listen.

And with the information
I'm giving you,

you could sue Colbyco for billions.

You could force Alexis Colby
into total bankruptcy.

Fine.

If you're right,
I'm very happy to pay you $ million.

But put that g*n away
and we'll discuss it.

- But I can't go to jail.
- You don't have to.

- I can't.
- Mr. Heath, I am not like my cousin.

I don't relish the idea
of destroying other people's lives.

Please.

For both our sakes.

My head is splitting.

Of course it is.

- Are you going to call the police?
- No, of course not.

As far as I'm concerned,

this is simply
another business meeting.

Now, why don't you put the g*n
down there?

That's better.

Now talk to me.

Tell me how we are going
to bring my cousin to the ground.

Well, it's a little complicated.

This may take a little time to explain.

Oh. I have all the time in the world.

Yeah, these are good.
We'll need a dozen.

And get a lock on those speedboats
Kreiss is trying to sell us.

Yeah, he wants an arm and a leg
for them.

Oh, really?
After what I did for him in Angola.

Forget it. You call Olamonti.

- Yeah, who is it?
- Your employer.

I don't believe this.

What the hell are you doing here?

Protecting my investment.

Ah. Good morning, gentlemen.

I don't need a babysitter.

I paid you to take care of my ships,

not loll around
in some five-star hotel suite.

Does this look like a tea party?

I'm looking after your ships.
I don't have time for you right now.

Oh, well,
since you have time for my money,

you might as well have time for me,
because I intend

to be involved in this project
whether you like it or not.

- So you wanna be involved?
- Yes, I do.

Okay, Jimbo, gift wrap the lady
and put her next door.

Go ahead, tie her up.

- What?
- It will be easier for you

- if you don't resist, ma'am.
- What are you doing with that?

Take your hands off me.

Put me down.
Put me down, you great brute.

- Stop. Will you help me? Help.
- Gag her if she doesn't shut up.

Don't let him do this to me.
What the hell is going on around here?

Okay.

- Do you know who I am?
- I've blocked this out from square one.

- Cray? Cray?
- The op...

He'!-

The operation will start here.

- Oh, Blake, good morning.
- Dex, thanks for coming.

Let's get some coffee.

What's up?

Well, I don't wanna talk about it here.
Let's go in the library.

Okay.

Can I fix you some coffee?

Please. Just black.

Dex, the other night,
you had a fight with Adam.

Well, it was nothing.

I was told that it had something to do
with Virginia,

that you knew her
quite a long time ago.

Now, Dex, I've got to know about this.

- Honestly, I'd rather not get into this.
- Sorry, I don't mean to pry,

but this is very important to me.

How did you happen to know her?

It was about ten years ago.

We met in a bar downtown,
not far from my dad's old office.

In a bar? She couldn't have been
more than then.

She was , but the way she dressed
in those days, she looked a lot older.

What happened?

Well, a couple of drunks
were hitting on her.

I stepped in, I got her out.

We became friendly. When I found out
that she didn't have a place to stay,

I put her up in my apartment.

Well, she had had a rough time
back home.

Somehow she got it into her mind
that I was the answer to her problems.

Blake, I was pretty young myself
at the time.

Well, what happened next?

Well, when I found out
how young she was, ,

I didn't know what the hell to do.

I finally talked to my CO
from Vietnam.

His wife runs a boarding school
upstate

for kids from problem families.

I decided to make arrangements
to send Virginia there.

Adam tells a different story.

I'm sure that he did.

Now, tell me,
what did Adam do to her?

- Come on, Blake.
- Come on, now, that fight that you had

must have had something to do with
what happened between them.

Look, Virginia's gone.
There's no point dragging all of it...

Just tell me.

Adam must have found out
about Virginia's background,

about the things she had to do
to get by on the streets.

- Look, I don't wanna stir things...
- What did he do?

I don't know the whole story. But he
must have used what he had learned

to coerce her into bed.

Then he wanted her
to do some of those things.

That's exactly what I thought.

Blake. Blake. It's done with.

Thanks for your help.
We'll talk later.

Oh, Marie, have you seen Adam?

Yes, sir.
He went out jogging a little while ago.

I wanna talk to him the minute
he gets back. I'll be in my room.

Thank you, Dex.

- I'm so ashamed that I had ...
- It's behind us.

Now, we'll clear your gambling debts,
regardless.

- And if this information bears fruit...
- Oh, it will.

The proof is in those files.

In the right hands,
this could bring down Colbyco

like a glass house in an earthquake.

- Right on top of Alexis.
- Yes.

You know, if you wanted to,
you could save Colbyco.

If you did it right,
you could even take the company over.

Let me worry about that, Fritz.

Now, you've done the right thing.
Out.

And when this all is over,
you'll have no more money worries.

And I will have realised
a major dream of mine.

Does that sound fair?

- Oh, my g*n.
- Oh, you don't need that anymore.

- Yes, but...
- Why don't you just leave it with me?

- No, I can't do that.
- Fritz, you are exhausted.

What you need now is to go home
and get some sleep.

Oh, I don't know, I...

Believe me, you'll be amazed

how much brighter
everything will seem tomorrow.

- Again, about what happened, I...
- It's over.

I'll contact you in a day or so

when I've verified the information
in these files.

All right, we'll move out in hours.
You know where we're gonna meet?

- Rest up, it's gonna be a long haul.
- Take your hands off me.

And I mistook you
for a civilized man.

What are you going to do
for an encore, sh**t at the floor

and make me dance
around the b*ll*ts?

When the guy from Algiers shows up,
I'll send him down to you, okay?

Oh. Look what that monster did
to my wrists.

They're covered in bruises.

What are you complaining about?

You're lucky you're still alive.

Oh. Were you going to use me
for target practice, then?

Look, I'm not running
a summer camp here.

You walked in on a manoeuvre
unannounced.

- Manoeuvre?
- Those men open grenades faster

than they open their mouths.
If I hadn't reacted the way I did...

I might still have a manicure.

Yeah, but you'd be missing the
matching lipstick, along with your head.

Lady, I saved your life.

You saved your dignity
at my expense.

- Oh, really?
- Yes, oh, really.

You can't stand the fact
that I tracked you down.

You're a man
who takes so many precautions

you probably
wear disposable underwear

with somebody else's initials
written on it.

I find you, I walk in on you, I b*at you
at your own pathetic little game.

And then instead of treating me
like an equal,

you resort to the one thing
that men think makes them superior,

brute strength.

God, you're beautiful.

Can I mix you a drink?

I want an explanation from you

of how you are going
to get me my ships back.

I got into this mess in the first place
by relying on idiots.

I don't wanna make
the same mistake twice.

Okay, then let me help you out.

This is what's left of your advance.

I'll pay back the rest later.

What are you talking about?

You can get someone else
to take care of your ships.

I don't want anybody else.
I wanna continue with you.

- We had an agreement.
- And you broke it with your meddling.

Look.

What if I say
that I won't interfere again?

- What if I say we have a truce?
- Hmm.

And you and I have dinner tonight?

Dinner?

Your idea of Parisian haute cuisine
is probably frog legs and french fries.

Try me.

I might even mind my manners.

My little dog had better manners
than you

before he was house-trained.

Same'.

TOY-

Out. L.B.: Heh.

It was out. L.B.: It was in.

It wa... LAUREN: It was.

It was out.

- In.
- It was in. It was definitely in.

If anything, it was right
on the line, right?

- Who's the winner?
- I am.

- Who's the champion of the world?
- I am!

Good boy.
Now, you do me a favour, all right?

Find Danny and tell him
we're gonna pick up his mommy

from the hospital now, okay?
Will you do that for me?

- Sure, Dad.
- Good boy.

Ah, ah, ah.

Hello.

Congratulations, champion.

Oh, yuck.

Oh, yuck to you too.

Well, that was a...
That was a pleasant surprise.

Not really.
L.B. beats me all the time.

No, no, I mean, the fact that you
actually found time to play with him.

Mary, can you take Lauren upstairs?

- I'm gonna read you a story, okay?
- Okay.

And then you're gonna take a nap.

. OKAY . OKAY.

All right, what was that all about?

Well, L.B. tells me
that he hardly sees you anymore,

- that you're always off somewhere.
- That's not true.

Oh, you're not seeing
Inspector Clouseau anymore?

That's none of your business.

- It is if you're ignoring the kids.
- Ignoring the kids?

- When did I start ignoring the kids?
- I've heard you're out quite a bit lately.

Wait a minute. If I'm out late,
I make sure the kids are looked after.

You know damn well they're
more precious to me than anything.

- Why you giving me the third degree?
- I'm being overprotective.

- L.B. and Lauren get more attention...
- No, no, I'm overprotective of you.

Huh?

We've known each other a long time,

ever since we were kids,
and we're divorced now

and I'm back together with Sammy Jo,
but, well, I still care for you.

- The sap's flowing pretty thick. Ha, ha.
- Ha-ha-ha.

- I better get a spigot.
- You don't know

- what you're talking about!
- I know what you did.

- Dad.
- I made a promise to Krystle

that we would bring Virginia
into this house

and make her part of our family.

- I know that.
- You made a mockery of that promise.

You not only dishonored Virginia,

you dishonored Krystle,
and you dishonored me.

I told you that nothing happened!

You told me nothing bullies.

Before you call me a liar,
check the family history.

Now, don't you walk away from me.

What the devil are you talking about,
anyway?

You and Grandfather
didn't make your fortunes

by selling Girl Scout cookies,
that's for sure.

I'm not finished with you!

- What's going on?
- I'm talking to you.

You scratched your way to the top of
the heap, and if it suited your purpose,

- you lied and stole and you cheated.
- Stop it!

- What the hell do you mean by that?
- If you're so pure,

why are you so concerned because
some cop is nosing around?

- Adam!
- Get out.

The minute the body was mentioned,

- you looked guilty!
No-good...

- Daddy!
- And you?

Don't!

- What are you if not a fraud?
- Don't! Stop it!

Adam!

Oh, my God. Adam.

Adam!

Adam.

- Good, you're trying to k*ll me too.
- Ls he all right?

Yes, he's fine.

L think so.

Go on. Get out of here.
Get out of this house.

You might have a concussion.

- Let me take you to the hospital.
- I don't need your help.

- I love these father-and-son chats.
- Get out!

- I'm gonna...
- Yeah.

I'll take the boys now
and pick up Sammy Jo.

Daddy?

Look, I don't know
what that was all about,

- but Adam's your son.
- He's no son of mine.

We have to stop doing this
to each other.

All of us.
This whole family is coming apart.

Family?
Steven runs off God knows where.

Adam drives Krystle's cousin away
and won't even own up to it.

And you, you're cavorting with a cop
who's trying to put me behind bars.

You call that a family?

I don't care how many problems
we have right now.

We are a family,
and that won't change.

I know how much you miss Krystle.

I do too.

But as difficult as things are right now,
we're here.

There are times when I feel

that nothing is ever
gonna be the same here again.

Yeah, you kids can play.

Make sure you stay away from
where they're rebuilding the stables.

Okay? L.B.: Okay, Dad.

Probably the first place
they're gonna go.

They'll be all right.
Can I open my eyes?

- No, not yet, not until I tell you.
- Please.

Okay.

Oh, Jeff. Oh, you shouldn't have.

- You like it?
- I love it. Mwah.

Thank you.
Let me down before my stitches pop.

- Okay.
- Oh.

Oh, isn't that gorgeous?

Oh, I just-Oh, I love them.

What is it?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

What is this?

- Oh, it's beautiful.
- I don't remember ordering that.

Ooh. It's so cute.

Oh. It's from Fallon. Heh.

How nice.

Disappointed it's not from your Romeo
at the hospital?

- Oh, come on.
- I'm sure he'll write you any day now.

Don't be ridiculous
and stop getting jealous.

- Me, jealous?
- Thank you for my flowers.

I love them.

Is something wrong? You sound angry.

I'm just glad we got a clear connection,
Alexis.

What's the matter, Dex?

What do you mean, what's the matter?
You've been gone nearly a week.

This is the first time
you've bothered calling.

I didn't even know
you'd left the country until Jeff told me.


Well, look, I'm sorry.

But after the way you carried on
last time, I just thought...

- The way I carried on?
- Yes.

You know what I'm talking about.

So who did you go off with
this time?


- I'm in Paris on business.
- What business and with whom?

Heh. I don't think
that's any concern of yours.

What do you mean, it doesn't concern
me? I've got my own company.

But you'd never know
because the only business

- I've been taking care of is yours.
- Yes, and I do appreciate that.

The heH you do.

You know something?
I used to have a life of my own

before I talked myself
into trotting along behind you

like some damn little pet lemming.

Urn, do you think we could get
to the point of this conversation?

Because I have to go out
to dinner now.

Oh, out to dinner.
Yeah, it's gotta be : there.

Yes. They eat late in Paris.

Oh. I bet you want me to believe
that you are dining alone.

Well, you know how I love
going out to restaurants alone.

Look, I really don't understand
why you're getting so upset.

You don't? You don't?!

You know something, Alexis?
I was wrong.

We do have a terrible connection.

And I'm not just talking
about the damn phone line.

Damn.

Operator. Operator.

Good evening. Heh.

Whoever that was, it's their loss.
You look stunning.

Well, why don't we go out
and stun someone? Hmm?

- You won't be needing that.
- Mm.

It's cold out tonight.

Trust me.

Heh. Not in this lifetime, Mr. Boyd.

Please be someone
I've been meaning to take apart.

Sable.

That I should have to turn to you,
of all people.

What?

Oh, just look at this mess.

How can anybody live in such a...?
Such...?

What's this all about?

Is this your dinner?

Well, my chef had to cater
Governor's Ball,

I had to make do.

I almost d*ed today.

- What?
- It's amazing.

One moment, the world is yours

and you think you have everything
under control

and you think
you're in command of your life.

But it's not true.
You're not in command

because it can all change
just like that.

May I have some water?

Of course.

I remember when I was a little girl,
we had a maid called Lizzie

who looked after me,
and she used to go home on Fridays.

I remember it was raining.

And we all heard the collision.

And we ran.

The windshield
was just like a spider's web.

We couldn't open the door

because it was all crunched,
and she was trapped.

Just slumped at the wheel
behind this spider's web.

There were people all around, you see,
but nobody knew what to do.

It was just like at the hotel.

I had this pointed at me today.

Pointed straight at my face.

Why don't you give that to me,
Sable?

Staring down the barrel of this g*n.

And his finger on the trigger moved.

It could have gone off.

- Even accidentally.
- Who?

Who did this to you?

That doesn't matter.

Doesn't matter.

He just walked in.

It was... It was before dawn.

- Into your suite?
- He was acting very strangely.

At first, I thought
that he had had too much to drink,

but then from the way
that he was talking, I realised no,

and then he reached in his briefcase
and pulled out this g*n.

Sable, let me have the g*n now.

- Give me the g*n.
- Oh.

I don't think that he wanted to use it.

It...

It's just that he was out of control.

And then I tried to talk him down

and I'm sure that he thought
that I was...

That I was calm.

Yeah. It's okay.

All day...

All day I just haven't been able
to focus on anything.

I just feel I've lost something.

Oh. I feel so empty.

Your ships are anchored here,
six miles offshore.

Now, we can bypass the militia,
but there's still logistical problems.

I figure we start with a diversion here
and here.

You know, it's amazing.

With all the good restaurants in Paris,
you insist on dining here.

You know, this isn't information
I usually share with my client.

- You could at least listen.
- I'm listening.

We're talking
about handling seven ships.

I can also count.

But, Cray,
I don't want to start World w*r Ill.

- I don't believe in k*lling.
- Oh, really?

No, I've never k*lled anyone.
Have you?

Well, I'm sure you've ruined
a few lives along the way

with your lawyers and accountants.

Heh. That's hardly the same
as putting a b*llet

through someone's head.


Sometimes that's more humane
than letting it just drag on.

God, you remind me
of my ex-husband,

the one that I was talking to
on the phone.

He had a knack
of twisting everything that I said

to make himself sound clever.

You are alike.

I mean,
you're both ex-Green Berets,

both stubborn,

both not afraid of speaking your minds,
what little there is of them,

and you stick to your ideals.

- I don't have ideals.
- You don't?

Ideals is a word I hear my clients use
just before they start a w*r.

I see.

So a professional k*ller
can m*rder someone,

but a good soldier
can m*ssacre a village.

So you do have high standards.

I also have good taste,

particularly in cognac.
Would you like one?

Hmm.

Why not?

One thing I know you're good at
is pouring drinks.

Ah.

You certainly know
how to flatter the help.

Hey. You're leaving?

Yes.

- You're gonna be all right, aren't you?
- I'm fine. I'm fine.

Go back to bed.

And, uh, this never happened
anyway.

I'm sorry to bother you.
I've been trying to reach Fallon,

and with you out of the hospital,
she might be there.

Sorry, she's not here.

Well, okay. If she does come by, could
you have her get in touch with me?

If I see her,
I'll pass along the message.

Thanks. Oh, and I'm glad to hear
you're feeling better.

Thank you, sergeant.

- Thank you.
- Bye.

Okay.

Okay, what?

What's this all about
with you and Zorelli?

- What about me and Zorelli?
- Fallon, I wasn't sh*t in the head.

I can still put two and two together.

And the last time we talked,
it was puppy love.

And now you're playing hide-and-seek
with him.

What's going on?

Nothing.
I just don't wanna talk to him right now.

Oh, come on. How can you be mad
at such a cute little-J?

Dogs can be cute too.

Then when you go to pet them,
they bite.

What did he do to you?

Don't tell me. Handcuffs. Ha-ha-ha.

Let's just forget about Zorelli.

You know, I was thinking,

the doctor said you're gonna be laid up
for a while.

Mm-hm.

It would be a good idea
to have someone around to help.

Oh, you know, I have the servants
and Hank and Clint.

- But that's not the same.
- As what?

As me.
I could move in with the kids.

- Move in here?
- Just for a week or so.

I'd love it, but Zorelli's not the only one
you're having problems with.

It's Blake too.

Isn't it?

- Good evening, Ms. Colby.
- Oh, good evening, Robert.

Mr. Kent asked me
to remind you about the wine reserves.

Ah. Yes, I'll attend to them
in the morning.

Would you ask the valet
to park my car?

- Yes, ma'am.
- Oh, I've been looking for you all day.

I've, uh, been busy.

We were supposed to get together

with that guy on the Whelpley deal,
remember?

I'm sure you handled it very well.

I handled it as best I could,

but he was very upset
you weren't there.

Well, I'll call him in the morning.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Oh, look, I am fed...

I am fed up with the way you've been
treating me. Last night...

Joanna, this is neither the time
nor the place.

I give you the best hours
of my day.

Once I'm off the job,
my life is my own.

And I wouldn't dream
of stealing a second of it.

I'm talking about Dex.

- I see.
- So what if I slept with him?

There was a time when
that's what you wanted.

When two heads lie down on pillows,
how much information can come out?

Joanna,
I have not had the best of days.

L just want you to know that I can see
through this whole facade of yours.

- Facade?
- You want me away from Dex

so you can have him
all to yourself.

You're out of your mind
and you are out of line.

All right.
All right, I'll say goodbye to Dex.

I was going to anyway.

L just want you to know
it's my decision, not yours.

Hmm.

Looks like I'm going to have
to come to a decision of my own.

About you, Joanna.

"And then Prince Charming
took Cinderella's hand."

And together they walked off

"to the rousing cheers
of everyone in the kingdom."

And they lived happily ever after,
right?

That's right.
They lived happily ever after.

Kristina,
what would I ever do without you?

Everybody's leaving.

Everyone I ever cared about,
all of them leaving.

Your mommy,

Steven, Virginia.

And Fallon
seems to be pulling away too.

And Adam.
Adam, who I had such hopes for.

I don't know what's happening
anymore.

You're my last hope, my precious.

I mustn't fail you.

Just my luck.

A rainy night in Paris, a nice cognac,
and you're a half a world away.

Half a world away?

Your friend Dexier.

I mean, you've been thinking
about him all night.

- What's wrong?
- I hate thunder.

You're right.
I have been thinking about Dex.

He is the most selfish, egotistical,
self-centered man I've ever met.

- I know the type.
- Heh.

Well, you're a bit like that yourself.

Well, I have my moments.

You know, I've always been loyal
to the people I love.

Always a good idea.

I'm not much of a one
for one-night stands.

Actually, I'll be in Paris
at least two nights.

Ha, ha. Don't make fun of me.
I mean it.

I... I don't know if I'm ready for this.

Well, I'm not gonna force you.

Telephone.

Telephone. You better answer it.

- Probably your conscience.
- Ha, ha.

Yeah?

No.

When did you hear that?

Okay, uh, let's get it in gear.

Be down here in ten minutes.

Right.

What happened?

I'm gonna have to take you back
to your suite.

We figured on your boats leaving
in four days. Now suddenly it's two.

Well, what does that mean?

Means we're gonna have
to scrap our plan

and hustle down
and make it up as we go.

Isn't that gonna be
much more dangerous?

Well, there's a price for everything.

Yeah, that's it.

Well, if you can trace the registration,
that would be great.

Yeah, I'll be here.
And thanks, Painter.

I need an unlisted address.

Hi, Dex.

I didn't know it was raining.

Oh, it isn't.

But a girl has to wear at least one thing
besides her hose and heels.

Sable wanted me
to say goodbye to you,

so I just thought
we should do it right.

Oh, don't tell me
I've rendered you speechless.

Joanna.

Oh. Of course.

I should have remembered.

This sort of thing is old hat for you,
isn't it?

You got a visit like this the other night
from... What was her name?

Virgin something or other?

Virginia.
And, no, it has nothing to do with that.

Oh, then what?

Joanna, why don't we be straight
with one another?

The only reason you came here
was to use me to get back at Sable.

Then you were paying attention.

It was fun.
But it's over, don't you think?

Just like that.

Come on, we don't have what it takes
to make a relationship.

Oh, I see, I see.

Sable sends me off,
and then you two set your sights

on each other, is that it?

We don't have to get ugly about this.

Okay, okay. Good for her.

Now that she's bagged you,

all she has to do
is mount your head on her wall

and she'll really have the last laugh
on Alexis.

Good night, Joanna.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Goodbye, Dex.

I don't believe you.

Are you out of your mind?
How did you get past security?

Well, security was no problem.
It was the sprinklers that nailed me.

Idiot.
My father will have you arrested.

- You've been avoiding me, Fallon.
- You noticed.

You know something?
You're right, I am an idiot.

I camp out here before dawn
trying to catch you, and I do.

Only you're not coming out,
you're coming in.

- So?
- So where did you spend the night?

Why? You're not jealous, are you?

You're damn-You're damn right,
I'm jealous, and I'm entitled.

You're not entitled to anything.

Look, Fallon, what's going on here?

What was that stunt
you pulled at my place?

You come over, you make dinner,
I go into the shower, I come out,

shazzam, you're gone.

I can't reach you. I can't call you,
because of your old man.

You owe me some kind of explanation.

I should never have been
at your place.

And why not?

I don't wanna see you anymore,
Zorelli.

You don't wanna see me anymore?
She doesn't wanna see me anymore.

I can't.

You know, Fallon, this is nuts.

This is absolutely nuts,
and I'm gonna tell you something.

Some explanation would not be out
of order. You know what I'm saying?

Just go.

Yeah, well, it really doesn't matter
what Gibson knows or doesn't know.

Because if he goes on trial, everything
we've been trying to keep a lid on

is going to be forced out
into the open.

Yes, but...

Yes, but if Gibson is still in the dark

about what is really down
at the bottom of that lake,

we might still be safe.

I mean, after all, he did tell me

that he thought
we were using the Delta Rho vault

to store gold or something.

Maybe he's lying. Maybe he's just
saying that to throw you off guard.

- Out all night again?
- I know what you're thinking.

Never mind. Never mind.

- We'll talk more about this later.
- Yeah, sure.

- Fallon.
- No, I was not with Zorelli.

What difference would it make
if I had been?

If you must know,
I stopped by Sammy Jo's after you left

- and stayed there.
- No, I didn't...

I am so sick of everybody
always getting on my case.

I'm just sick of it. I am just sick of it.

I'm glad to hear that.

We're due for some good news.

Okay, see you in a bit.

- Morning.
- Good morning.

Well, I'm glad to see
you haven't left yet.

Come on in.

Thank you.

That snag we ran into
might end up working in our favour.

- Oh, how?
- Well, they're moving the ships

because there's rumor of a guerrilla
raid planned on the main port.

How's that going to affect your plan?

Well, some restless natives
will be more of a diversion

than our speedboats.

With a little luck,
we can hit those ships

with their guard down
to almost nothing.

Good.

Well, you don't sound too pleased
about it.

Actually, I'm surprised you're here.

I just wanted to see
that you had everything under control.

Of course I do. That's my job.

You know, it's been interesting
getting to know you, Alexis Colby.

Interesting?

"Interesting" is a word that you use

when you're given a horrible tie
for Christmas.

I feel like I'm sending a soldier
off to w*r.

Lam your soldier.

Well, just don't get yourself k*lled
or anything stupid like that.

That wasn't in my plan for this trip.

You know, you've got two hours
before that plane leaves.

I hate to see you go.

Sorry to press you on this,
Ms. Colby.

No, no, you're absolutely right, Robert
I shall go and do it now.

Sable. SABLE: Hello, Dex.

Hi. I wanted to see how you were.

I'm fine.

Thank you
for those wonderful flowers.

Kind of a rough day for you
yesterday,

looking down the barrel of a g*n.

Yes. Yes, it was kind of rough.

Ended pretty well, though, didn't it?

Yeah, it did.

Probably shouldn't happen again,
though, should it?

I don't think so.

Some things are only meant
to happen once.

I was going to offer you a drink.

I'd better not.

I have to check the wine reserves.

- Ah.
- Ha, ha.

Apparently, it's been a thirstier month
than usual.

Well, you've really taken over here,
haven't you?

No detail too small.

A few more hours in the day
would be nice.

I've been busy myself.

Well, then.

Well, then.

We'll talk soon.

Mm-hm.

Nice of you to come by.
