Post by bunniefuu »

NARRATOR: Last time on Dynasty:

- Blake, what is it?
- We're running out of time.

We've got to find that collection.

Shh, shh!

What's the matter?

Somebody's been listening to us.

Somebody bug your apartment?

You don't know?
Play stupid, you're real good at that...

- Man, you're losing it.
- I'm going to the top on this.

If I find you're behind it,
I'm taking you down.

Monica and Jeff
are not brother and sister.

- What?
- Jason Colby isn't your father.

- I will k*ll you!
- Trying for another headline, Jeff?

Just shut up!

- Don't you touch me!
- Have you no shame?

- Stop it!
- Who do you think you are?

Mother.

- I'm in love with you.
- No.

- I'm love with you.
- I shouldn't have let it go this far.

Didn't you realise it would come out,
sooner or later?

I don't know what I realised.

Jason and I were trying
to have children but it wasn't working.

So you went
and slept with somebody else.

- No, it was not like that.
- Was I just some careless mistake

sort of like you have now with Dex?

Whatever Roger found
had to have been worth a fortune.

Maybe, but it was also n*zi plunder.

Do you think that Blake
didn't know that?

That's why he hid it
until it was safe to sell.

He won't get away with it.

He won't get away with murdering
Roger and stealing that treasure.

I want you to call that police captain.

Make an appointment
as soon as possible.

- I think we should discuss this.
- They are ruining me.

They are stripping me of Colbyco
and everything else I own.

- What is it that you want?
- The collection.

Play ball with us and then you
may not have to go to jail for m*rder.

Where were they standing, Fallon?
Where exactly were they standing?

Over there.
Now I remember, it was you.

- Don't hurt my Mommy.
- He hit you.

- He didn't hit me.
- What else happened, Fallon?

- You're not going anywhere!
- You got his g*n

- and you pointed it at him.
- I said put it down!

Who do you think you are,
grabbing for my g*n?

- Mommy!
- Don't hurt my Mommy!

Don't hurt my Mommy!

It was me. It was me.
I k*lled Roger Grimes.

We'd better let you get some sleep.

- I'm still a little shaky.
- I'm sure you are.

I k*lled someone. I can't believe it.
I k*lled a man.

No, darling.
You mustn't think of it like that.

You saved my life.
That's what you did.

Your mother's right, you know.
It's all over.

From now on,
everything's gonna be fine.

Good night, my sweet.

May flights of angels
sing thee to thy rest.

You said that to me every night
when I was a little girl.

You're still our little girl.

- Good night.
- Good night, darling.

Well, I'm going to get going.

As badly as I feel
about Blake and Fallon

I have no interest in spending
another second with Alexis.

- Sable, you and I have to talk.
- About what?

About the fact that you're pregnant
with my child.

Dex, please. Don't start again.

Sable! Sable, this is wrong.

Life is wrong.
What happened to Fallon is wrong.

You are not going
to dismiss me like this.

Lam not trying to dismiss you.
I'm just trying to get a grip on my life.

You know, Alexis, maybe some good
can come out of all this.

Maybe we can finally put an end
to the w*r between us.

Oh, yes, I'd like that.

I don't want our children
to be hurt anymore.

Just look at that. She's playing
mistress of the manor again.

- How's Fallon?
- Oh, she's much better.

She's asleep.

Blake, would you mind, I'd like to have
a word with you in private.

Why, yes, yes of course.

- Good night.
- Good night.

- I'll walk you out?
- No, I'm fine.

She's resting.

I think, perhaps if you came back
tomorrow

it would be a better time
to see her.

- Thank you.
- Good night.

Sure.

You know, I was thinking, Zorelli,

why don't we give you
a lift back to your car?

Yeah. Yeah, why not?

You mean, like,
why don't we go for a ride?

Oh, come on. Ha, ha.

Car's out on the side.

The amazing thing is that
I blacked it out as much as Fallon did.

The fight, your father leaving,
everything.

Well, as the Matthews told me,
that's the way my father wanted it.

He got Fallon out of the cottage,

convinced her
that it was only a nightmare

and then got rid of Grimes' body
and took care of you.

All I can remember is that

when your father told me
that Roger had left,

I presumed it was because
of the letter that you wrote,

in which you threatened him.

- Your favourite port.
- Thank you.

- You remembered.
- Strange, isn't it?

All this time you were accusing me
of the m*rder.

I was sure that my father
had done it.

Well, to better times.

What really astonishes me
though,

is how you could actually believe
that I did it.

Maybe I wanted to believe it.

You destroyed a part of my life

when you banished me
from this kingdom of yours.

You'll never know quite
how much you hurt me.

- Well, as you say, to better times.
- Yes.

And maybe I can help you
with this new m*rder investigation.

After all, we do share a great deal.
Our children.

Some wonderful memories.

And of course
that extraordinary art collection

that's buried underneath this estate.

- How did you know about that?
- Roger gave me one of the paintings.

I'll tell you, it was really something
you did for Fallon.

Those nightmares
were getting to her.

- Yeah.
- Hey, Zorelli,

you don't mind
if I call you John, do you?

- I wish somebody would.
- Good. John.

Dex and I
wanted to know something.

If you wanted to go undercover,

if you, I don't know, if you wanted
to do a special assignment

or something like that.
How would you go about doing that?

Why do I get the feeling
we're talking about me here?

Listen, if you're not in a hurry

why don't we,
why don't we talk for a while?

Oh, what the hell,
but do me a favour, huh, guys?

None of this
good cop, bad cop routine.

I really hate that.

Come on.

Watch your step now, guys.

I wouldn't want you to trip
and break anything.

Yes, you would.

There's nothing
to worry about, Blake.

Do you think that I'd expose
that n*zi treasure to outsiders?

I only want you to be aware of
how important it is to keep this secret.

Oh, I know.
I mean, that belonged to the Nazis.

The stain on the family name
would be dreadful.

Yes, it would.

Of course, Carrington is no longer
my family name.

Alexis...

- Do you know where it's hidden?
- No.

When you do find it, you can do
whatever you want with your half.

What are you trying to tell me?

Blake. That treasure has been hidden
under this house

the entire time we were married.

I'd say it was community property,
wouldn't you?

Neither one of us
has a right to that artwork.

Hiding community property
is a crime.

If this went to court, I'd get it all
and I don't think that would be fair.

Considering how close
we've become lately.

I mean, I'd like to share it with you.
After all, fair is fair.

Heh. Look at the time. I must go.

Aren't you going to walk me
to the door?

Zorelli, why were you asking Fallon
about the Colterion mining project?

I was following through
on the Grimes investigation.

Listen, if we're gonna make
a night out of this,

why don't we send out for pizza?

What did you find out
about the mines?

It was a money-loser
for all three families so they flooded it.

- That's it?
- No.

Of course not. You found out
a whole lot more,

because you are a good cop.

Was a good cop.

- You quit the force because...
- I fell in love with Fallon.

I didn't want her to think
I was using her.

At the time,
that's what you were doing.

Guys, am I gonna have
to get a lawyer here or what?

We're just trying to get
a few things straight.

How'd you figure Roger Grimes
had something to do

with the mining project?

Because his body floated up
out of the mine.

No, it popped out of the lake.

One of the mines fed into the lake.

I went to the Hall of Records.
They said they flooded the mines

three months ahead of schedule.
Know who got the permits?

Tom Carrington. And you know
who carried Grimes' body in?

Tom Carrington, wearing the jacket
that the witness saw,

the one with the big "C" on it.

Is this clearing anything up
for you guys?

Because now it's my turn.

What were you guys doing out
in the lake a few weeks back?

- How did you know about that?
- I was just looking around,

I saw you out in the lake.
Rub-a-dub-dub. Very cute.

- You were scuba-diving.
- That had nothing to do with Grimes.

I wasn't out there as a cop.
I was trying to help Fallon.

If you guys hadn't had me
pulled off the case,

maybe I'd have wrapped this up
before Fallon had ...

How many times have I told you
it wasn't us

- who had you pulled off that case?
- Come on, you guys.

Zorelli, it wasn't us.

Handler might have
given the orders

but I think somebody
was pulling his strings.

Somebody's pulling his strings,
all right.

Wait a minute. You're saying
Handler was behind all of this?

I'm not saying
that Handler called the sh*ts,

but he's in it up to his elbows.

Handler?

Oh, man.

I always had a feeling
about that guy, but...

I didn't tell you guys.

But somebody's been bugging my loft.
And they've been using

the same kind of bugging device
that the department uses.

- You think it was Handler?
- Yeah, it's Handler, all right.

But why?
What the hell's he after?

I mean, he's already got Blake
on this Chisolm m*rder.

What else is he after?

Hey, come on, you guys.

I don't blame you for being careful.
But I wanna help with this thing

and I can't if I don't know
what is going on.

Listen to me, Handler is weird.

He acts like a buffoon
but underneath it all,

he is not a nice man.
You better tell me what he wants,

because if he's the one after you,
you're gonna need my help.

You should have seen her,

preening around
like a bloody peacock.

And the way that Dex and Blake
were looking at her,

- what is it with that woman?
- Forget about Alexis, Mother.

You've got more important concerns.

I mean, you're carrying a child,
and the father doesn't even know.

Yes, he does. I told him.

You did?

What did he say?

I didn't give him much of a chance
to say anything.

So it's gonna be the same thing
as it was all over again.

No. I'm not hiding anything
this time.

What time is the hearing
being changed to on Friday?

Eleven o'clock and you're
changing the subject, Mother.

Eleven o'clock.

And after that, Colbyco will be
tied down like a circus tent.

And now, my little sweetheart...

- You're kicking me out?
- Mm-hm. I have to go to bed.

I'm sleeping for two these days,
you know.

It's not something
I'm likely to forget.

Night.

Well, good morning,
and look at you, all ready to go.

Next thing I know, you're gonna be
driving yourself to school.

Kristina, you remember that lullaby
I was asking you about?

The one I was humming to my dolls?

Well, I think I remember
why it was so familiar to me.

When I was a little girl, just like you,

I remember playing
with a special music box

and it played that same lullaby.

Is that where you heard it?
In a music box?

I don't remember.

I think you do.
It's really old and beautiful.

Where is it, sweetheart?

Kristina,
this is very important to me.

Manny's waiting.
I have to go to school now.

Just look at this estimate.

And this is just for the repairs
on the second floor

I swear this hotel
is falling to pieces.

- Mrs. Colby.
- Good morning.

I won't have any coffee, thank you.

Not even laced with something?

I appreciate
your leaving Blake's last night.

It was a family matter
and I'm grateful that you understood.

If this visit has a point,
please get to it.

Well, I've lived up
to my end of the bargain.

A while ago,
you made me a proposition

that if I stopped
trying to have Blake arrested,

you'd drop your lawsuit against me.
Well, I'm letting Blake off the hook.

Oh, how magnanimous of you,
since now even you know

that he didn't k*ll the man.

- Sable, a deal is a deal.
- And timing is timing.

That ship has sailed, Alexis.
I made you the offer, you rejected it.

Besides the S.E.C.'s already
investigating Colbyco.

I'm sure that if you two
put your pointy little heads together,

you could stop that investigation.

Particularly since I now know
what's buried under Blake's house.

Did you really think I wouldn't find out
about that Stahl picture,

the one that drained the colour
from your already pallid face?

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Does the name Adolf h*tler
ring a bell?

- You would use that against Blake?
- No, I'd use that against you.

You'd pursue this,
even after what you went through

with him and Fallon last night?

Sable, I'm a survivor.
And nobody brings me down.

You want to take Colbyco?
Go ahead, try it.

And I'll fight back with everything
that I've got.

So my offer still stands.

Drop that lawsuit and I'll give up
all claims to that n*zi treasure.

And we can all live happily ever after.

It's this way.
Fallon 's in the conservatory.


- How is she feeling this morning?
- Much better, I think.

- Good.
- Here we are.

Hi.

You know, when I was a kid
growing up in Philly,

I never even imagined
such beauty was possible.

- Lullaby? It is pretty, isn't it?
- I mean you.

How are you? Did you sleep okay?

For the first time in
I don't know how long,

I didn't dream about Roger Grimes.

- Well, that's good.
- But I can't imagine how.

Zorelli, I k*lled a man.

I did dream about a music box.

One I used to play with
when I was a kid.

And it was playing this lullaby.

When Kristina gets back from school,
I'm gonna ask her to find it for me.

I was hoping these dreams
were over for you.

God, I love you.

Move, move, move.

- Here we go!
- Let's have fun.

Take it up. Take it up.

Hey, you fouled me.

What did you want me to do,
let you go in for a layup?

Tanner.

All right.
We have a cheerleader here.

- I want you on my team.
- Oh, no, you don't.

- Come on take a sh*t.
- Ls she gonna play with you, huh?

- Aah! See?
- That's okay. Take another sh*t.

- We'll get the rebound.
- Come on.

- Come on, guys, let's play.
- Hey, watch out.

I didn't mean to interrupt
your game.

Oh, no, I had things to do here.

Well, I got the papers
on that property we're negotiating for.

- For the new teen centre?
- Oh, yeah, great.

I got it, I got it. Come on!

- Is anything wrong?
- No.

- I didn't come at a bad time?
- No, it's fine.

You were having a good time
with the kids and then you quit

- because I showed up.
- I just had things to do here, that's all.

Okay. If you're busy, you're busy.

- Well, you don't have to leave.
- Yeah, I think I do.

Blake, I want to help you.

I'm enormously grateful, of course.

But this is too much.
That lawsuit is very important to you.

From a revenge standpoint, yes.

But certain things have happened,

and the truth is,
for very personal reasons,

my desire to obliterate Alexis

is no longer as strong
as my wish to help you.

- But why? You'd be giving up a fortune.
- Heh.

I have more money
than I could ever possibly spend.

Well, I still can't let you do it.

I don't think you are going to have
any choice in this matter.

Blake, I've been doing some checking
with prison authorities...

- Hello, Sable.
- Hello, Dex.

Roger's son, Dennis Grimes.
He was supposed to be in prison.

- He's not. He got out early.
- Do you think he's involved in all this?

Well, Zorelli's checking to see

if there's any link
between him and Handler.

I have a newer picture of Grimes.
Maybe we should show it around.

My Lord.
Looks like his father, doesn't he?

Yeah, he sure does.

We've gotta be crazy.

We're breaking into the apartment
of a police captain.

You know, this isn't
fun for me, either.

If we're gonna get anything
on this guy

it's gonna be in that apartment.

Zorelli, had I known you were
going to be having

an eight-course meal,
we would have taken your car.

- You don't like me much, do you?
- No.

I can understand that.

If I were you,
I wouldn't like me much either.

You wanna hear
about me and Fallon?

- No.
- I know what you think.

You think I'm an opportunist, right?

Now that you mention it.

- I'm not.
- Well, I'm glad for your sake.

If you were, you'd be flying
out of Harmon Springs

- without an airplane.
- I can respect that. I can.

There's Handler. He's coming out.

Here, take these gloves.

You're gonna clean up the car
when we're done?

Sure. But I don't do windows.

Let's go.

- Where do we start?
- Anywhere. Let's move fast.

Okay.

Okay. Don't change anything,
all right?

You're sweet
to bring me out here.

I know you didn't wanna come.

Why did you tell Jeanette
we were going to Delta Rho?

I did it for you.
You don't want Danny and L.B.

to know we're going
to the secret fort. Right?

- Oh, yeah.
- You're taking me to the cottage.

No. Over there.

The pump house?

- The music box is in there?
- Uh-huh.

I don't remember.

I've never been here before,
I don't think.

Ha. Well, I see L.B. and Danny
are well prepared.

Wait, wait, wait.

- What is this?
- It's down there.

Down there? Good Lord.
How do you lift this up?

L.B. and Danny opened it for me.

You go down there?
You climb down there?

Uh-huh.

- Follow me.
- No, no, no.

You follow me, you be careful.

Give me that flashlight.

Be careful, Fallon.

Okay. Wait there.

It's absolutely crazy
that you kids play down here.

You could fall.
You could hurt yourself.

L.B. and Danny always go first.

This is an old mine shaft.

L think I got something.

- What have you got?
- I don't know, yet.

We get to
be here alone with roaring fire.


- That's Fallon's voice.
- Yeah.

A loaf of bread, a jug of chianti...

It's at the cottage.

The cottage on
Carrington property?

I can't believe this. I've been
squeezing all those memories

out of Fallon,
and he's been listening in.

It's like he's tracking her down.

He probably thought
she could lead him to the collection.

Oh, God.

I can't believe
you kids play down here.

It's in there.

These places are dangerous.

I know,
and I hate these icky spider webs.

Well, if you know...

Oh, my God. I remember this.

I've been here before.

But I don't remember those tunnels.

You kids have even got lanterns
down here.

Yeah.

Look over here.

This is the music box.

I used to come here just like you
and play with this.

Well, what do we have here?

- Who are you?
- You don't know me, do you?

But I know you.

A whole bunch of years ago
you k*lled my old man.

Who does that
penny ante cop think he is?

Somebody that's got
Blake against the wall, and he's right.

- Let's nail him for blackmail.
- We can't.

We can prove
that he bugged your loft.

He'll say he was an overzealous cop
trying to get the bad guys.

Besides, how will explain
the stuff you're trying to hide?

- What about calling the governor?
- Handler's got me.

He has a witness that saw me
leaving Chisolm's apartment.

- He has my fingerprints.
- And he's got motive.

We need something on him.

Dex has a friend checking on
Handler's phone records.

Maybe we can at least find out
who he's reporting to.

Hell you, the idea
that that man is following Fallon...

Hello, Jeanette.
Is Fallon there, please?

No, sir. She picked up
Kristina after school


and they said they were going out
to Delta Rho.


They should be back by now.

Kristina's got a piano lesson,
hasn't she?

- Yes sir, and we're a little concerned.
- Well, we'll check out at Delta Rho.

Thank you, Jeanette.

Delta Rho? That's a strange place
to look for music boxes, isn't it?

- To look for what?
- Fallon said she was trying to find

a music box she used
to play with as a kid.

She thought Kristina might know
where it was.

What is it, Blake?

There were antique music boxes
in that collection.

You wanted to go down
to the station to check on something.

Why don't you do that?
Jeff and I'll go to Delta Rho

and see what's going on. Come on.

What's this about Grimes
finding the treasure?

Yes. He called me
about an hour ago.

But there's been some trouble too.

He had to take two
of the Carrington girls hostage.

That man is a lunatic,
he k*lled that witness.

I can't be everywhere at once.

I want that collection
in my hands tonight.

- My men are ready.
- I'm going to bring Carrington

to his knees, but there's no reason
to hurt the two girls.


- Come on, come on, get in.
- Yes.

You're doing the right thing,
putting this Grimes affair behind you.

Thank you.

Frankly, I never really believed
that Dad k*lled him in the first place.

Mm.

You know, I've been thinking
about that art collection.

And because of your deal with Sable,
you may have to give up all claims to it,

but there's no real reason I have to.

I mean, I do have a stake in it,
I am your son.

Oh, Adam, you're such
a greedy little monster, aren't you?

Look, it's perfectly all right.
I know my way.

I thought the exterminator
got rid of the vermin in this place.

- Adam. Who's there?
- It's me, Alexis. I'd like to talk to you.

Adam, why don't you go pull
the wings off a fly or something?

Why do I like you so much?

Alexis.

So much for privacy.

If you're feeling dirty,
Sable's one flight down.

You know something?

I have to congratulate you, Alexis.
You are an astonishing woman.

- Yes, I do have my moments.
- Yes, you do.

You found out about the collection

and you used it
to get Sable off your back.

Well, I had to do something
to stop my company from breaking up.

A breakup that you helped
orchestrate.

You know I'd never help Sable
do anything to harm you.

Really?

And the sun tomorrow
will set in the north.

Look, Alexis.

Whatever you and I had
may be over with,

but is there any real reason
to be enemies?

Oh, I can think of one.

Well, I'd hoped
we'd at least befriends.

F fiends'?

Friends don't go to bed
with the other one's worst enemy.

I told you a thousand times

that I could forgive
any of your indiscretions

with other women, as long
as you didn't go to bed with Sable.

But you did that.

And you ruined
our relationship forever.

For God sakes, Alexis.
I came hereto heal the wounds.

Well, it's too late.

Much too late.

So now, if you'd please leave.
I'd like to be alone.

You know what this is?

This is the deed to that property
that you gave me.

Here. It's yours.

Thank you. I'll take it.

I was sure you would.

- You're making a serious mistake.
- Please, drop it.

The lawsuit is over.

Alexis and I are signing
the papers tonight.

You've got her right
where you wanted her.

- Why let her off the hook?
- For all the reasons I've told you.

Not least of which is
this baby I'm carrying.

That's what you should be putting
a stop to, Mother, not the lawsuit.

Monica, I want this baby to come
into the world with a clean slate.

Free of lies, free of vendettas,
free of secrets.

Just look at all the secrets
Blake's family is paying for now.

Just look at what my secrets
have done to you.

I can't believe you're going through
with this pregnancy.

- Monica.
- And what about Blake?

It's obvious you're interested in him.
What chance are you gonna have

when he finds out
you're carrying Dex's child?

Darling,
Blake's heart belongs to Krystle.

No one stands a chance with him.

Anyway, I'm putting my cards
on the table.

Those that care for me
will stick around.

And those who don't,
well, they won't.

Shut up, will you? Just shut up!

How many times
do I have to tell her?

She's terrified seeing me
tied up like this.

If you'd just let me go,
she'd stop.

- Let you go.
- Honey, it's gonna be all right.

- I'm scared.
- I know you are, sweetheart.

For God sakes, untie me.
This is stupid. What can I do?

You're twice my size.

Look, you want her to stop,
let me put my arms around her.

All right.

Just shut up!

I'll untie you.

I'll untie you. One wrong move...

This is crazy. This is crazy.

My father would pay you anything
to get us back.

I bet he would.

Please take us out of here
and get me to the phone.

He'll give you a fortune,
any way you want it.

Oh, yeah? And then what?

You and me get married,
and move to the French Riviera?

Please, please just untie me.

Sure.

And since I've been so nice to you,
maybe you'll be nice to me.

You know, I was in prison
for a long, long time.

Do you know
what that does to a guy?

Not in front of her.
She's just a little girl!

I wanna go home.

We will, sweetheart We will.

My fingers are numb.
Could you untie my feet? Please.

Sure, darling.

I'm scared.

See, Kristina?
He's untying my feet.

He's not gonna hurt us.

Yeah, we're gonna be
real nice to each other, aren't we?

Run! Kristina, run!

You can't go up there.
That's the private quarters!

Frank, get moving.
I want you to check the west wing.

Yes, captain.

- Carrington just pulled up.
- Thank God.

What's going on here?

This is a warrant authorizing us
to search the grounds of your estate.

For what reason?
Are you in charge here?

- No, sir, Captain Handler is.
- And he's upstairs.

Did Fallon and Kristina
get back here?

No, sir, and we've called everywhere.

- Handler!
- Sir, you better calm down, because...

Handler!

Where are they?

Let's go somewhere private and talk...

- You have my daughters.
- I don't wanna cuff you.

- Who do you think you are?
- Either of you.

- Damn it! You've got my daughters!
- Don't worry, your daughters are fine.

Sergeant, go outside
and help with the search.

- You don't want us to cuff these two?
- They won't be a problem. Go on.

- All right. Where are they?
- Let's go into the bedroom and talk.

Not you. You stay right here.

Fallon, please, wake up.
Please. Fallon, I'm scared.

I have decided to getaway
from the city for a while.

You mean to get away from me.

I have to, Sammy Jo,
I can't go on like this.

I know that you don't expect
anything from me, but I'm just...

It's tearing me apart.

- What is?
- You.

Don't you realise that
I feel the same way about you

that you said you feel about me?

Oh, God.

I'm sorry, I thought
that I was strong enough, but...

I've never had feelings
like these feelings before.

I don't want you to leave
because of me.

To give up the Church and everything
you've worked for.

- I don't want that.
- I don't either.

I don't know what else to do.
I've prayed. Talked with God.

- This is all my fault.
- It's not.

It's not you.
Don't you understand that? It's me.

I feel so guilty.

The guilt is mine.

For wanting.

What?

Oh, no. No.

The Carrington mansion?
What the hell's he doing here?

Handler's got a search warrant.
Took a dozen guys with him.

Hey, easy!

Mr. Carrington, calm down.
Your daughters are all right.

- I don't believe you. You're lying.
- We've got them in a safe place.

- As soon as we get that artwork up...
- You found the artwork?

Your daughters found it
and led us right to it.

They must be in the house,

- they must be downstairs in the cellar.
- No, they're not.

- They've gotta be on the property.
- If you just play ball,

we'll get what we want and you'll get
your daughters, and you may not

even have to go to jail
for k*lling that witness.

I wanna talk to Fallon.

- Put me in touch with her.
- I'm afraid I can't.

- Why not?
- I'm telling you, your daughters

are all right. They're with the collection.
Grimes has them.

- Grimes?
- That's right.

Grimes is a maniac.
I know his prison record.

What do you mean
they're with Grimes?

Keep your voice down.

If he hurts them,
if he so much as touches...

Shut it, Carrington, just take it easy.

- Blake, are you all right?
- Stay where you are!

- Now, where are they?
- Get off me. You're choking me!

I want my girls and I want them now.
Where are they?

- They're underground.
- Underground?

They're in some kind of bunker
near the cottage.

All right,
you're gonna take us there.

Just so it's perfectly clear
to you, Adam,

this agreement is null and void

if Alexis doesn't keep her part
of the bargain.

You really like to cross your T's,
don't you.

Well, there's one I forgot.

- That's for the picture of me and Jeff.
- Don't you do that again!

Oh, and here comes mommy dearest

attempting another grand entrance.

Really, girls, you should learn
to accept defeat more graciously.

Let's just get on with this, shall we?

I'll read the contract first, thank you.

Jeff, go over to the bureau.
I've got a g*n in that top drawer.

- Just be careful with that.
- I've got it.

- Is it loaded?
- You're making a mistake.

All right.
This is what we're going to do.

We're going to walk out of here
and go down those stairs.

You're crazy.
There's a whole police force out there.

You're gonna make them feel
that everything is under control.

Jeff, switch g*ns with me.

Empty that one.

I'm gonna give you your revolver back,
empty.

Are you out of your mind?
Those are real cops out there.

And you're gonna do one
of the best acting jobs in your life.

You don't want those cops to know
anything about that collection

or what you've been up to
any more than we do.

Now, stand up.
You're taking us to the bunker.

- Just be careful with that.
- Pull yourself together.

Fallon.

What happened?

- Oh, it's okay, sweetheart.
- Oh, Fallon.

Everything's gonna be okay.

The hole is covered up.
We can't get out.

- Oh, God.
- I'm scared.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

- Is he dead?
- Yeah, I think so.

Oh, God. We are trapped.

How are we gonna
get out of here?

We'll be all right. Come on.

Dig, Kristina, help me.

Come on, that's it. Dig.

- I'm looking for Sable Colby.
- She's up on the balcony.

I'll use my own pen, thank you.

Whatever makes
your writing legible, dear.

It's called style, Sable.

Some of us have it,
some of us haven't.

Well, I think that concludes
our business.

Now if you'll take
your trained monkey

and go and play on
some other street corner.

- And you can take yours.
- What do you know,

what do we have here?
Kissing cousins, together again.

- Look what the prairie dredged up.
- This is a business meeting, Dex.

- Our business, not yours.
- I've got a little business myself

to take care of.
You two, you know something,

you two are really something else.

If you're here for the reasons
I think you are,

this is neither the time
nor the place.

You know, Sable,
I went to see Alexis this afternoon.

I knew that our relationship was over,
but I figured,

hey, why not part friends?
She sent me away.

Because she didn't need me
anymore.

- I've never needed you, Dex.
- You needed me.

You needed me
when your ex-husband tried to k*ll you

and when your empire
was crumbling.

The only thing that's crumbling now
is your dignity.

This is beneath you, Dex.

Sorry, girls, but I've run out
of cheeks to turn.

God, you're hard to get rid of.
You're like a bad rash.

- That's one, Adam.
- Dex, please.

You needed me too, didn't you?
When her controller, Fritz Heath,

threatened you with a g*n,
where did you end up?

- My apartment!
- Naturally, she'd go to the only man

in Denver who'd find her attractive.

Dex. Let's leave this snake pit
and go and talk.

Oh, now you wanna talk.
Now I was there for you, Sable.

I was there. I gave you
a big shoulder to cry on.

You gave her more than that.

What you ever saw in that malignancy
I'll never know.

I was there for both of you
when you needed me.

But right now
you don't need me anymore! Right?

Okay. That's fine.

Because somebody is coming around
that is gonna need me.

- Right, Sable?
- Dex, don't do this now.

- My child will need me!
- Your what?

- That's right. I'm gonna be a father.
- You shouldn't have announced that.

Why not? You wanted everything
out in the open.

- No secrets. Neither did I.
- So Sable's going to have

a change of life baby.

- And won't Uncle Blake be surprised?
- Adam, that's two.

I really did think better of you, Dex.

Oh, but not quite enough
to be a part of my child's life.

That baby you're carrying
is as much mine as yours.

How sweet. So maybe we can all
have the pick of her next litter.

You shut up!

I'm telling you, Sable,
when this kid comes into the world

I'm gonna be there.
I'm gonna be a father.

I'm gonna take it to the zoo,
I'm gonna take it to ball games,

I'm gonna sing it songs
that I don't know the words to.

And I'm gonna be sick.

I hardly think so, after this display.

This display! I'm gonna be a father,
and you can't take that away from me!

Sable, you have my sympathies,

but what else can you expect
from a stud horse.

That's three, Adam!

One thing I never liked about you,
Alexis, is that cretin you call a son.

That's the last time
you're ever gonna hit me!

- Watch out!
- Adam, no!

Oh, my God! Adam!

- Everything all right, captain?
- Tell Baker to get my car.

Mr. Carrington just confessed
to the m*rder of Elsworth Chisolm.

Yes, sir.

Remember, your g*n is empty,
mine is loaded.

- Let us through.
- Where are you going?

Mr. Carrington has something
to show me.

- Well, I'll go with you.
- No, go help Johnson.

Get out of my face, man.
Move, it's Handler!

- Zorelli, it's all right!
- sh**t them!

- It's all right!
- sh**t them!

Blake! Blake.

Get an ambulance.

Call an ambulance!
