[TIRES SCREECHING]

[SCREAMING]

When are they gonna
let us out of here?

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Matthew!

Let us out of here!

Matthew! Matthew!

Let us out of here! Matthew!

Mommy, I'm afraid.

Don't be, darling.

Everything's gonna
be all right, you'll see.

Is that bad man
gonna take you away?

No one is gonna take
your mommy away, darling.

I promise you that.

Daddy, are they gonna sh**t us?

No, Danny, no. They're not.

I knew Matthew Blaisdel a long
time ago when he was a good man.

He won't let them hurt us.

[GASPING]

Steven.

I don't agree with you.

Matthew isn't the same
person we used to know.

He's dangerous.

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

I always did like
this room, Blake.

When are you gonna
get out of this house?

Behind bad luck comes good.

I've had the bad, but the
gods are smiling on me now.

Like morning sun. Warm, hopeful.

I asked you a question. When
are you gonna get out of this house?

I chose a weekend.

No business calls.

No deals with your
big-sh*t friends.

You always did like to spend
your weekends quiet at home.

I remember that.

I remember a lot of
things about you, Blake.

Are you gonna
answer me, damn it?

I thought I made it clear.

When I get what I need,

and whenever I leave,
I leave with Krystle.

You've got a short memory,
Matthew. Krystle is my wife.

You went shopping one day
seven years ago and you bought her.

She was mine before that.
We were lovers before that.

And I want her back.

You're gonna
have to k*ll me first.

If I have to.

You really think you're gonna
get away with this, don't you?

There's a chill in here.

Light a fire for me.

Light it yourself.

Light the fire.

So where are we going
on this honeymoon of ours?

You'll find out soon enough.

Anybody ever tell you
that you're a sexist?

Oh!

You mean sexy.

I mean sexist.

I can't believe I wasn't allowed
to plan my own honeymoon.

But you love surprises.

Yes, I do.

[GIGGLES]

And I can tell by the
sun we're heading west.

Right.

So maybe it's L.A.

Maybe it's Shanghai.

Well, maybe I haven't packed
the right clothes for either.

And maybe you're a little
overdressed right now.

[LAUGHING]

Adam, what about the steward?

Oh, he's under strict instructions
not to show his face in here.

Do you know what I'd
like us to do right now?

I'd like us to call home

and tell everyone how
happy they've made us.

I'm not stopping you.

It'll only take a few minutes.

Dana.

I can't wait a few minutes.

You've been cooperating,
so I'll tell you this.

If it weren't for my people
here, I'd have d*ed in the jungle.

So I've repaid them by
teaching their families

better ways to grow crops,

better ways to live their lives.

We all owe one another.

And I wanna make
this perfectly clear.

We would die for one
another if we had to.

- Where's Dex? I wanna see him.
- Maybe later.

No, I wanna see him now!
He could be bleeding to death!

I said later!

For now you're all
confined to this room.

If for some reason
I want you to leave,

then you'll be accompanied
by one of my men.

And if any of you has
any idea to escape,

don't.

You're such a
pretty little girl.

What's your name?

- Kristina. MATTHEW: Kristina.

- How old are you, Kristina?
- Three.

MATTHEW: Three?
- Matthew.

We've got something upstairs I
think you might be interested in.

Something that might convince
me to leave, that it, Blake?

Well, we've got quite a bit of
jewelry in our bedroom safe.

Jewelry.

It'd serve a purpose.

I'll get it for you.

No.

Krystle will.

STEVEN: Dad! Dad!
LESLIE: Oh, Mr. Carrington!

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Matthew, you haven't said
anything about Lindsay.

Well, they tried to save her
too, but she couldn't hang on.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I wo...

You haven't changed, Krystle.

My whole world has, but not you.

Do you know how many
times I've dreamed about you?

You were waiting for
me at your apartment.

We'd make love and you'd
say, "I've never been so happy."

Oh, Matthew, that was
a long, long time ago.

We loved each other.

I did love you.

Your kindness and
your gentleness.

But I'm very happy
with my life now.

I love Blake and we have a wonderful
daughter that we love and adore.

Don't you see, Matthew?
Everything is different.

Different?

How can anything be
different living with a man

who steals other men's
oil, other men's women?

Krystle.

Don't. Please, don't.

We were a part of each
other once. We will be again.

When we're away from this
place. Far away. Believe me.

[STRANGER YELLING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Well, you've got guts,
Blake. I'll give you that much.

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Well, you might as well open
the safe since you're here.

BLAKE: This is what you want.

- There's more...
- Hold it.

I'll just keep this, Blake.

You're Sam Dexter's son.

It's been a long
time. How is he?

He's hanging in there.

I never knew him all that well,

but I did know he was the only decent
man on the Denver-Carrington board.

[GRUNTS]

I'm sorry my people
had to get rough with you.

That's the way it goes.

It's happened before.
It won't be the last time.

You feel up to a little party?

I'm giving one downstairs
in a while to celebrate.

The scarred wanderer's
journey Was nearing its end


He called for a festival
And all the tribes did attend


- Blake?
- Blake, it was a very good year.

Very good. Krystle, please?

No? Well.

- Jeannette?
- No, thank you.

- No. MATTHEW: No, don't be shy.

Now, you've all served
the Carringtons well.

Now let them serve you.

Where I've come from,
we serve each other.

We earn each other's respect.
Nobody goes around buying people.

MATTHEW: Aw.

I also think it's time you ladies
got a bonus from Mr. Carrington.

Oh, now, this is pretty.

I like that.

Please.

- I can't wear this.
- It's okay.

- Mrs. Carrington...
- It's all right, Hilda.

It's all right, Hilda. Go ahead.

Yes. Now, that is very pretty.
And this... And this is for you.

- No, please.
- Please, it's my party, I insist.

Please. Now, see?

Now, you see how
pretty that looks, huh?

I like that.

Oh, and look.

Look at this. Now, does this
bring back memories, Krystle?

It does for me.

I was working hours a day

pumping my well so
I wouldn't go under.

And that's exactly what
Blake wanted, but not you.

So you hocked this, lent
me the money I needed

without anybody
knowing about it.

At least not for a while.

I'd like you to wear
this for me, Krystle.

Matthew, please, I
don't wanna wear it.

You heard what she
said. She doesn't want it.

- You stay away from her, damn it.
- Dad, don't!

That was very smart, Steven.

Very smart.

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Carrington residence,
can I help you?

No, I'm sorry, Mr. Carrington
isn't in right now.

No, I'm not... I'm not
free to answer that for you.

Why don't you try calling him at
his office at the first of the week?

Uh-huh. You're welcome.

That was a reporter
from the Chronicle.

She wanted to know
if the rumor was true,

that you're being
considered as a candidate

for the upcoming
gubernatorial primary.

You, governor, Blake?

Well, I hope you live up to the
expectations of whoever votes for you.

On second thought,
I hope you live.

DOCTOR: Blood
pressure, over .

Pulse, .

- Dr. Bell did x-ray studies?
- All negative.

Possible internal injuries

with no evidence indicating
any internal bleeding.

Good.

[ALEXIS EXHALES]

Mrs. Colby?

I'm Dr. Wilton. You're
in Cheney Hospital.

How did I get here?

As far as I understand,
a friend brought you.

Friend?

Oh... Yes, that man.

Yes. A very attractive
man, Mrs. Colby.

Is he here?

He left a little while
after you were admitted.

DOCTOR: You need
to rest now, Mrs. Colby.

Perhaps you can phone him later.

Phone him?

I don't know who he is.

He saved my life and I
don't know where to find him.

Something bothering you?
You not hungry tonight?

How long are you
gonna keep this up?

Steven, how's it been going?

All right.

That so?

Still having trouble with the
gay-bashers, the f*g-haters,

like your father?

My father has accepted
me for who and what I am.

MATTHEW: I doubt that.

Look me in the eye and
tell me I'm wrong, Steven.

You're wrong, Matthew.

I hope so.

MATTHEW: My guess is he
may allow you to carry his name,

but you'll always be
his embarrassment.

You think when he gets
ready to hand over his empire

he'll give it to his gay son?

You, um, Leslie?

What have they given you?
What chunk of their empire?

They've taken
me into their home.

- Given you room and board.
- And caring.

MATTHEW: Love.
- That's right.

You really don't know
them yet, do you?

Love's an easy word around here.
What they love is money and power.

Now, what I'm asking is what have
they given you in terms of those?

My guess is nothing.

By the way, Blake,
where's Fallon?

That pretty daughter of
yours that could do no wrong.

At least not in your eyes.

Fallon's in California.

Mm. That's too bad.

I was hoping she might
be here for the party.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[DIALS PHONE]

Yeah, this is Sheriff Young.

I'm out here on
Diamond Back Road.

Mojave Checkpoint Number .

I've located Mrs.
Fallon Colby's car.

There's no sign of an
accident or breakdown,

but Mrs. Colby
is not with the car.

And I don't see her.

Look, send a backup, all right?

Yeah, yeah, ten-four.

Mrs. Colby?

Fallon Colby!

- Blake, at least it's a chance.
- It's too risky.

Besides, I can't leave
you alone with him.

Blake, I'll be all right.

Please, let's try it.

[DOOR OPENS]

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

KRYSTLE: Blake, I am
sick and tired of your orders.

I'm your wife, not your servant.

BLAKE: I have never
treated you as a servant.

KRYSTLE: Why did you say
that? BLAKE: Because it's true.

And this whole
discussion is just ridiculous.

What is going on here?

Stay out of this. This is
between Krystle and me.


Oh, yes, we mustn't
let anyone know

what goes on behind
sacred Carrington doors.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Well, what do you think?

It's a beginning, anyway.

What are you two arguing about?

Well, if he believes that
Krystle and I aren't getting along,

there may be a
way out of this for us.

But first I've gotta get
out of this house alone.

DEX: What are
you thinking, Blake?

I'm going to tell Matthew that I'm
gonna have a Denver-Carrington jet

standing by tomorrow morning to
take him and his men back to Peru.

And that he can
take Krystle with him

as long as he leaves
Kristina behind with me.

How is that gonna
get you out of here?

Well, he must need money.

I'll try to convince him that I can
raise what he needs from my friends.

But I can't do it
over the telephone.

I've gotta do it face-to-face.

If he agrees to
that, I'll leave.

I'll go straight to the police
and tell them what's happened.

And tell them about
the plan I've got.

Now, we have got to
fix a time and a spot.

Let's say the west terrace.

Now, one of you has
got to tell Matthew

that you want to talk something
over with him out on the terrace.

And when he appears,
the police will fire.

One single sh*t and that's it.

What do you suggest
we talk over with him?

You two were friends, Steven.
Think of something. He'll trust you.

You're right, Dex. We were
friends. I don't wanna see him k*lled.

Well, what do you want, then?
To see the rest of us end up dead?

I'll take care of Blaisdel,
Blake. Don't worry.

We're gonna go
through with this plan.

We've gotta do it,
son. It's the only way.

What about his men
when they hear the sh*t?

Steven, there are two of us. We
have the advantage of surprise.

Now, all you have to do, Blake,
is convince the man to let you go.

I will.

I've got to.

Well, have you thought it over?

You'd let me take Krystle?

- Yes.
- You're sure?

You saw what happened in
there. We're having problems.

And I guess I've always known
it was you she really loved.

Just let me have my little girl.

You know what it means to a
man to have a child, Matthew.

Yes.

Yes, I know.

Call your pilot.

BLAKE: Hello,
Jim, Mr. Carrington.

I need you to fly the big jet down to
Peru sometime tomorrow morning.

I want you to park
the plane down

at the far end of the
field when you go aboard.

Well, this is important. I don't
want the competition to know

that the plane is on its
way down to South America.

Yes.

Yes, I know it's not gonna
be easy, but I want it done.

Oh, by the way,

Mrs. Carrington will be joining
my associates on the flight.

Right. Good night, Jim.

Sounded a little annoyed.

Well, I pay him a lot to put
up with little annoyances.

- About the money you mentioned...
- Now, if you don't want it...

What I want is for you to
be back here by a.m. sharp.

That should give you time to
wake up your big-sh*t buddies

and get the money.

Oh, Blake.

You forgot something.

Your escort.

[MATTHEW SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Mrs. Colby, if there's
anything you need, I can get it.

- I have to get out of here.
- It's the middle of the night.

Dr. Wilton said you
could have a concussion.

And you're still
suffering from shock.

Look, nurse, a
man saved my life.

- I have to find him.
- I know, but you're in no con...

I wouldn't be standing here
arguing with you if it weren't for him.

- I'd be at the bottom of the river.
- Mrs. Colby...

[POLICE RADIOS CHATTERING]

Where's my wife?

Well, we don't know.

She called in on her car phone

to say that she got stuck out
here on Diamond Back Road.

Then the phone went
dead for a few minutes.

You know, we've searched
everywhere ever since I got here.

But so far, there's just...

There's just no sign of
your wife. It's as if she...

- She what?
- Disappeared.

Disappeared? What
are you talking about?

Where's she gonna go?
There's not many places to hide.

Well, I know, but...

Well, maybe your deputies
haven't searched hard enough.

I'm sorry.

Oh, God.

Fallon.

Fallon.

Fallon, it's me, Jeff.

Fallon.

[DOOR UNLOCKS]

[DOOR OPENS]

Why did you send me up here?

[DOOR LOCKS]

Blake, what's
gonna happen to us?

[TIRES SQUEAL]

POLICEMAN: All right,
mister, out of the car.

Out of the car.

Give me that g*n.

You are under arrest.

Good. Get me down to
headquarters as fast as you can.

I told you, the man
had a g*n on me.

Now, my family's being
held hostage right now.

I wanna talk to Fred McHenry.

All right, the chief's on his way down
from Aspen. He should be here soon.

We're doing everything
we can, Mr. Carrington.

You gonna track a
man in the country, lady,

you don't wear big-city perfume.

[ALEXIS CHUCKLES]

Well, I'll remember that.

I really wanted to find you because I
hadn't thanked you for saving my life.

And now that's remedied.
And you're welcome.

Heh.

I didn't know there were
any cabins around here.

You lived here for long?

I don't live here.

- Oh, you're on vacation?
- Something like that.

Well, I don't mean to
intrude, but I am very grateful.

How did you find me?

I went back to the river and I asked
one of the rangers where you lived.

I described you and he
pointed me this direction.

Well, this wood isn't
gonna chop itself, so...

Hm. Well, happy chopping.

By the way, my
name is Alexis Colby.

And again, thank you.

I know your name, Mrs. Colby.

And you're welcome again.

Hi.

What were you
just thinking about?

About how much I
love Danny and Steven.

And how I'm afraid
we're all gonna be...

Dead before all this is through?

I don't know where Uncle
Blake went or what he's up to,

but someone has got to
do something about this.

They have g*ns here, Leslie.

I know. And I'm gonna get
my hands on one of them.

- Don't worry about me.
- I am worried.

Sammy Jo, what have I got to lose
by trying after all I've been through?

God, I've lost my father, Clay.

I've lost everything.

You have two very
special guys in your life.

You hang on to that.

Hi.

Sure is hot this
morning, isn't it?

Want some?

You're so far away from home,
you must be very, very lonely.

You don't have to be anymore.

[LESLIE GASPS]

Don't do that again.
Is that understood?

Now, these men have come
here with me on a mission.

They've sacrificed a lot.
They left their families.

- Don't take advantage of their decency.
- You let go of me!

I don't have to do a damn thing.

Sex is obviously some
kind of plaything to you.

These men have never
met women like you.

[LESLIE SCREAMING]

Anathu, that's enough.

[MATTHEW SHOUTING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Maybe I shouldn't
have trusted you at all.

[SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[STRANGER SPEAKING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[DEX GROANS]

BLAKE: Then Dexter
decided that the best thing to do

would be to lure him
out onto the west terrace.

There, that's the
west terrace, chief.

And right there, that's where
Blaisdel has gotta be picked off

at : this morning.

Doesn't give us much time.
Think SWAT can handle it, Art?

May I see that, Mr. Carrington?

In full morning light, even if
he's blocked by these columns,

he's bound to give us a clear sh*t if
only for a matter of couple of seconds.

With three of my best men
there, we'll hit him, chief.

No problem.

What could have happened?

Obviously Dexter couldn't pull
it off. We're gonna have to go in.

No way, chief.

If there's something wrong,
let me go in there first.

Alone.

My family is in there. I don't
want you to go in sh**ting.

Now, I can handle
Blaisdel. I think I can.

All right, but if you're not out in
exactly three minutes, we're coming in.

Krystle!

Steven!

Krystle!

Where is everybody?
