08x08 - The Testing

[bunniefuu]

Can't sleep?

Keep thinking
about the campaign.

The next four months
are gonna be very different.

Different from anything
I've ever known.

Well, since when isn't my
husband up to a challenge?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Now that I'm a candidate,

I'm gonna have to divest myself of
all my Denver-Carrington holdings.

I don't mind telling you that the thought
of giving up my company hurts a lot.

Of course it does.
That's perfectly normal.

Darling, Denver-Carrington
is your baby.

You created it.

Yes. I guess you're right.

[CHUCKLES]

I remember, well,
being out in the fields.

I was barely years old.

Grimy, work
blisters on my hands.

And in my head, dreams.

Dreams about oil being down
there, somewhere under that ground.

Then, all of a
sudden, it happened.

It was there.

Gushing up out of the ground.

A hundred feet in the air.

[BLAKE CHUCKLES]

I just stood there
right in the center of it.

It was beautiful.

Now...

[SIGHS]

Now I have to give it up.
Turn it over to my children.

Are they ready for it?

Denver-Carrington is a big company.
Do they have enough experience?

Well, you won't know until
you give them a chance.

Yes.

But which one is it going to be?

Now, Fallon...

She's had problems.
She's not talking about it.

But I know that there's
something wrong.

And Adam...

I don't know. Dana's
been good for him.

They're going to have a baby,
but still, he works for Alexis.

Blake, has he talked to you yet?

I mean, about the baby?

Yes. He told us about
it last night, didn't he?

Did he say anything else?

No. Why?

Oh, just wondering.

Then there's Steven.

Tsk, now, Steven
knows the company best.

He would have
been my first choice.

But I'm not sure that he has really
recovered from that shock he was in

after he k*lled
Matthew Blaisdel.

I'm afraid there are gonna
be a few more restless nights

before I make up my mind
about who it's going to be.

Champagne for breakfast.

[CHUCKLES]

Even though we didn't get away, it's
been such a wonderful honeymoon.

It has been wonderful. And
it's been at least ten hours

since you've mentioned
your ex-husband.

Who? Oh, yes. Ha, Blake.

All the way to Mexico you were
worried about how the primary was going.

"Would he, God help
us, b*at Ralph Dunbar?"

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Well, he did, and it's over,

so now, all I want to
concentrate on is us.

I've seen that smile, Alexis, heh.
You've got something up your sleeve.

- Well...
- It's about Blake.

- Yes. I did have an idea.
- Which is?

Since Dunbar lost by
such a small percentage,

I thought it would be rather fascinating
to have my newspaper persuade him

to run as an independent against
Blake in the general election.

- Thus causing Carrington to lose?
- Yes. What do you think?

Hmm, it's not bad.

But for now, I think you
should forget your ex-husband

- and concentrate on your present one.
- Yes. I am concentrating.

I'm all eyes.

I'm interested in more than
your eyes right now, Alexis.

I'm interested in all of you.

[ALEXIS CHUCKLES]

Oh, not again.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Hello, Miss Lindquist.

Mr. Colby.

I... I'd like to say that I'm
sorry for the way I acted

- at the group meeting.
- No problem.

Not everyone can understand
what we've been through,

or what we feel
about our encounters.

- In fact, that's why I'm here.
- What do you mean?

To talk to your wife about
the book we're doing.

- Book?
- Oh, yes.

Yes. The public has to be educated
about extraterrestrial experiences

and the men and
women who've had them.

I would like your wife to
be one of our contributors.

She's ideal. Bright
and very articulate.

With an ideal name, right?

Meaning exactly what?

Well, it wouldn't hurt, would it, to
have Fallon Carrington Colby involved?

Well, yes. Uh... [SCOFFS]

Of course, that would be a plus.

But I don't think that that is
any of your concern, Mr. Colby.

Oh, I think it is.

You're looking for a way to take
advantage, and I won't have it.

Are you saying then
that I'm wasting my time?

Yes. I am.

- Jeff, what are you doing here?
- Your husband just ordered me out.

We were gonna
talk about the book.

Oh, he's already talked
for you, Mrs. Colby.

[SIGHS]

Heh, I was obviously wrong to think
that you could be part of our project.

How could you interfere in this?

The woman is a con-artist. She's
looking for a way to sell books

by using your name. I
won't let that happen.

- I'm not gonna let her exploit you.
- Wait a minute.

Who are you to speak for me?

Who are you to do
my thinking for me?

Fallon, someone has to keep
you from hurting yourself and Blake.

Think about it. What would
happen if the opposition read

that Blake's daughter tells
about her ride in space?

- You really think I'd embarrass him?
- Yes, I do.

Jeff, do I embarrass
you so much still?

- I'm not the issue here.
- Yes. Yes, you are.

You're embarrassed about what
happened to me in the desert.

Right?

Am I right?

This one's from Chadwick Hill.

"We want you for governor,
not James Rayford.

Don't skip our town
when you cross the state."

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Better make sure that
Chadwick Hill is on our itinerary.

- Heh.
- Oh, Jeff.

How are we doing with
Ambassador Campbell?

Oh, God, I, heh, I'm
sorry, I forgot about that.

You know that his endorsement
can be very valuable to us.

- I know. I'll get it for you.
KRYSTLE: You'd better hurry.

He's leaving for
Europe tomorrow night.

All right. I'll go to New
York tonight. I'm sorry.

My mind... I just haven't
been myself recently.

- It's Fallon, isn't it?
- We couldn't help but notice.

You wanna talk about it?

Not really.

Uh, maybe you should.

Jeff, she may be your wife
but she's my daughter too.

Now, what's going
on between you two?

- I think you should talk to her.
- I have. She won't open up to me.

Well, you're gonna
find out sooner or later.

It might as well be now.

The night before we got here,

it might have been a delusion
or something she imagined...

Something that she
imagined? What do you mean?

She was in the desert.

We couldn't locate her.

Oh, we searched all
night and I finally found her.

She told me she
was in a spaceship.

She was abducted by aliens.

- Aliens?
- And she really believes it.

So if you're thinking about having
her see a psychiatrist, forget it.

She's already seen
Dr. Parrish in Los Angeles.

I don't know. I don't
know which way to turn.

[SIGHS]

My God, Blake. What the two of
them have been going through...

It's hard to believe.

I'll tell you one thing
about my daughter,

she just didn't
invent this story.

She must believe
that it happened to her.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- Who is it? DEX: Dex.

[SIGHS]

Come in.

There was no
secretary out there.

LESLIE: What is it, Dex?

I happened to be
in the neighborhood.

LESLIE: And?

I wanted to see if you were
doing anything for lunch.

Sorry, but I have plans.

Maybe you could cancel the date?

With Prince Edward of England?

He's just passing through Denver
and dying to buy me a cheeseburger.

Those Buckingham Palace boys,
they do have good taste in women.

Save the compliments,
Dex. They're not appreciated.

At least not by me.
Now, what do you want?

Look, Leslie, the other
day in Alexis' office,

and later at Blake's
campaign headquarters,

I came on kind of strong.

I'd like to say I'm sorry.

You said that I
wanted Alexis' power,

and that I would end up
with nothing and all alone.

You called me a
first-class conniver.

You accused me of
moving in on Jeff Colby

and said that I would stop
at nothing to get ahead.

- And now you're sorry.
- Look, if you can't take an apology...

Let me see how you take a
question. This particular question:

What do you plan on
doing about Sean Rowan?

Care to elaborate on that?

I'd be delighted to. He just
married Alexis yesterday.

[CHUCKLES]

Ha, ha, what?

There's another player
on the scene now, Dex.

And if you still feel about
Alexis the way I think you do,

he's just gotten
smack in your way.

So don't tell me about
my problems, okay?

You just take care of your own.

You said in the hospital that
you'd never seen me look so radiant.

And you said that you thought
there had to be a man involved.

You were right.

I want you to meet
my new husband.

Sean Rowan, this is my
ex-husband, Dex Dexter.

Pleasure. Alexis referred to you
once as her Wyoming cowboy.

- Oh.
- Ha, ha.

Is that all she said?

Well, there was more,
but it was censored, heh.

Heh, I'll bet it was.

Well, you saved Alexis' life.

We all owe you a debt
of gratitude for that.

Thank you. Well, right now
I've got a couple of things to do.

Goodbye, darling.
I'll see you later.

[ALEXIS SIGHS]

So are you happy for me?

[SIGHS]

Yes. I am.

Maybe because you
finally look happy again.

Ha, yes, I am.

And now it's your turn.

There's gotta be a woman who
realizes what a great catch you are.

In fact, there's
probably dozens.

Oh, Alexis, I'm not
used to your flattery.

No, I mean it, Dex. I
only want the best for you.

Alexis.

Do you think you might have
rushed into this a little too quickly?

Hmm.

Maybe I did.

I'm sure that's what the
rest of the family's gonna say.

In fact, everyone
is gonna say it.

But it was...

It was something that
I had to do. It was fate.

Uh, well, then, be happy.

[SIGHS]

I intend to be ecstatic, heh.

Well, thank you for all
your good thoughts, Dex.

I really appreciate it.

I'll see you around.

Bye, Dex.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hey.

Daddy. You're home
for lunch. I like that.

I had an idea I wanted
to try out on you. Tell me.

What would you
think about taking over

one of Denver-Carrington's
subsidiaries?

- Which one?
- The cosmetics unit.

Bradley and his staff are having
a difficult time getting it started.

Well, my background
is running a resort hotel.

- You think I can get it off the ground?
- Why, of course.

You've got good business
sense, you've got good taste.

You've got a flair for
showmanship. That's all it needs.

Why are you suddenly
offering me a job?

You haven't been
talking to Jeff, have you?

Has he said anything?

Well, he merely said that
you had a few problems.

- What problems?
- Well, that you weren't feeling well.

- I'm not sick.
- No, no. No, not sick.

What he said was that you've
had some kind of a delusion.

Delusion?

Did he go into detail?
No, don't bother answering.

Obviously he did.

That's what this whole
cosmetic thing is about.

Offering me therapy, not a job.

Fallon, I don't think
you're being fair to Jeff.

Oh, I'm sure he colored it to
make me sound completely crazy.

Well, if you think I am, why
don't you call Dr. Parrish?

Or talk to the very respectable
people who have shared my experience.

Darling, Jeff only told me
what you told him, and that's all.

Now you wanna cure me by having
me test different shades of lipstick?

Well, thanks, Daddy.
I appreciate the try.

But when I want
a job, I'll get one.

And despite what
my husband thinks,

I am quite capable of
handling my own life.

Hi.

It's a little later than
I thought, I guess.

Heh, it's : . Why
are you still here?

I overslept.

I've already been riding, I've
taken care of things at the stables.

Don't you have something
to do? Like report to practice?

There is no scrimmage today.

Heh, well, I have a son that
I have to pick up at school.

I'll tell you what. I'll pick up
Danny for you if you want.

[CHUCKLES]

No. No.

Uh...

Josh, what happened
last night was wrong.

Steven was away
and I was lonely.

And I'm telling you now, it's
never gonna happen again.

Sammy Jo, I don't know
what goes on in this house,

but you have a great kid.

And then there's
Steven Carrington.

The man who sleeps
down the hall. Alone.

I think it's time
for you to leave.

No.

Not until I tell you I think
I'm falling in love with you.

I mean, really in love.

What happened last night
was not a casual thing for me.

Steven's flying back tonight. I
have to be here. I wanna be here.

Please, just finish
getting dressed and leave.

I mean it.

I want you out of here by
the time I get back with Danny.

So are you actually telling
me that you and Dana

are going to have a child
by a surrogate mother?

- Yes.
- Well, I'm very happy for you.

Then you aren't upset?

No. I mean, whoever carries
the baby, it is your flesh and blood.

There's just one thing that
I can't understand, Adam.

Wouldn't it have been
more honest to have told you

that she couldn't have
children before you got married?

Well, she didn't know.

Don't you realize what
she's done for me?

She's agreed to let me have
my child with another woman.

- It's a tremendous sacrifice.
- Yes, and I applaud her for it.

We have your support?

Darling, you've always had
my support and you always will.

Thank you, Mother. And
congratulations on your marriage.

- He's a very lucky man. Ha, ha.
- Mm-hm, yes, I know, he is, heh.

And thank you for the flowers,
darling. They're absolutely beautiful. Bye.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Come on, what do you say?
Come on. We'll have some fun.

Get away for a couple of days,
mix some business with pleasure.

You buy out Bergdorf's, catch
up with a couple of old friends.

I don't think so.

What happened to the old
Fallon I used to know, huh?

That impulsive girl who used to
fly to New Orleans for fresh oysters,

- or go to Kansas City for a steak.
- Those were fun trips.

You're talking strictly
guilt trip, aren't you?

What?

You told my father you think
there's something wrong with me.

That you're worried
about my emotional state

ever since my
spaceship delusion.

I am worried. You know that.

I'm worried about what's
happening between us.

Your father would've
found out sooner or later.

I was gonna tell him about it. I
don't need you to speak for me.

I don't need anybody getting
between my father and me.

You and your father?
That's what this is all about?

- We're not fighting about spaceships.
- Oh, what are we fighting about?

You're sore because I
got between you and Blake.

Look, I love your father very
much. But he's got a soft spot. You.

Because you've always been and
always will be Daddy's little spoiled girl.

If that's true, maybe it's
because no one, including...

Especially you.

Has ever given me
the chance to grow.

That's bull.

Oh, is it? Always telling me
what to do, what not to do.

Interfering in my
life. Dismissing me.

Well, as far as I'm concerned,
you can go to New York,

or you can go to hell.
Just leave me alone.

And you'd better
get this straight.

I am nobody's little girl.

Not anymore.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[DOOR OPENS]

Oh, Adam, come in, come in.

- Sit down.
- Thank you.

I wanted a chance to talk to
you a little about the future.

Not only about the baby that
you and Dana are expecting,

but also, too, about what's
going to happen with my company.

Father, about the baby...

There's something
I should've told you.

Oh, what's that?

Well, right after
we were married,

we found out that
Dana can't have children.

Well, we considered
every option.

And we decided
to use a surrogate.

Her name is Karen Atkinson,
and she's carrying my child.

- A surrogate?
- Yes.

The child will be a Carrington,
Father. Dana and I are proud of that.

But why didn't you
tell me this before?

Why did you wait so long?

Don't you trust me?

Well...

I guess the answer to that is,

do you trust me?

- Lee?
- Yes, Mr. Colby?

What's the problem?
What are we waiting for?

There's been a delay in takeoff.

And I've been told there
is another passenger.

- Another passenger?
- Hi there.

Heard you were
flying to New York.

You don't mind if I
hitch a ride with, do you?

Turns out I have
business for Alexis, heh.

I'll check with the
tower for clearance, sir.

- Fine.
- If you wanna go Dutch,

I can put half the gas
on my expense account.

Oh, I think Blake
can afford the gas.

This won't disrupt
your plans with Fallon?

- I'm traveling alone.
- Ah!

It's lucky that I'm here
to keep you company.

- Where are you staying?
- The Pierre.

Is that near Central Park?

Yes. It's right on Central Park.
Is this your first time in New York?

They say the first time is
the best. Is there a phone?

Hello, this is
Leslie Carrington.

Could you make a reservation
for me at The Pierre, please?

Thank you.

- You always that impulsive?
- Heh.

Actually, I'll let you in on
a little secret. Interested?

I'm all ears.

Well, I'm really a
very shy person.

Just that I've been
taking these courses.

In how to hitchhike?

[CHUCKLES]

No, not exactly.
In assertiveness.

- Think I'm getting my money's worth?
- Yes, I do.

Good.

- Champagne?
- Why not?

Okay.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

Don't thank me. It's your wine.

[CHUCKLES]

What do you think
we should toast?

How about to
first-time experiences?

Fasten your seat belt.

Something's up with Father.

Well, you told him about
the baby and he didn't object.

Something's up with the
family. He didn't say as much.

He hasn't said anything,
but he's been testing me.

If he wins this election, he's
gonna have to divest the company.

So he's been testing to see
who's gonna take charge.

If any of us.

He's also got to be thinking about
hiring somebody from the outside.

- Oh, Adam, I doubt that.
- Oh, it's possible.

I remember a case in law school.

A man divested to his four kids.

They ran that company into the
ground and he ended up suing them.

- It was ugly on both sides.
- Well, if I know Blake,

I'm sure he'll give all three of you
his vote of confidence. It's all family.

- I mean, you're all equal.
- Oh, we're family.

But some of us are obviously
a little more equal than others.

Steven is practically running
Denver-Carrington as we speak.

He's using father's
office, isn't he?

Well, I'm in charge
of the confidential files.

I won't let Steven
in. How about that?

It's not funny, Dana.

Steven's not the same.
There's an edge to him now.

He's a little preoccupied
with his football team.

I'm not talking about football.

He k*lled Matthew Blaisdel.

A man who kills another man
is someone to watch out for.

Someone dangerous.

Even if he is your brother.

[KRYSTLE SIGHS]

Finally, I found you, heh.

What are you doing
in here all by yourself?

Oh, just sitting
here thinking. Again.

Have you talked to
any of the children?

Steven has been pretty
busy with the football team.

But I'll try to track
him down tonight.

However, I did talk
to Adam and Fallon.

And?

I still asked myself
the same question.

Are they too young?
Too inexperienced?

I could get somebody from the outside
who has managed a major corporation,

and I could hire some professional
people with track records.

But you don't need them.

Denver-Carrington
is a solid corporation.

Yes, that's true, darling. But
there are decisions to be made.

Personnel to handle.

Problems that pop up
constantly. Anything could happen.

And legally, I wouldn't be
able to say a word about it.

Am I, uh, making any
sense, or am I overreacting?

Darling, you're
not overreacting.

I know how important
this decision is to you.

But I know you.

You'll come up with
the right answer.

[BLAKE SIGHS]

Excuse me, sir. Can I help you?

I'm just looking for a
little information, heh.

Isn't that all right, heh?

Well, this entire area is off-limits,
except for employees of The Mirror.

Oh.

I've always found names
interesting. Yours is Miss Shane.

- Must be a first name.
- Heh.

- Uh, Penelope.
- Good strong name. Greek.

- The ever-faithful wife of Ulysses.
- Heh.

I'm sure your husband
is a very lucky man, heh.

Oh, heh, I'm not married.

I assumed that a woman
as attractive as you are...

Thank you. Um, ahem.

But, um, unless you have, uh, an
okay from the executive office, I can't...

Uh, let me introduce myself.

- My name is Sean Rowan.
- Sean Rowan, heh.

The same Sean Rowan
that's married to Mrs. Colby?

Married to Mrs. Rowan now, yes.

Heh, oh, yeah. Oh,
yes. I'm sorry. Of course.

Ahem, how can I help you?

I'm preparing a gift for my
wife that involves her children.

So I'd like to learn as
much about them as I can.

Steven Carrington, Fallon
Carrington Colby and her husband Jeff.

Oh, and let's not
forget Adam Carrington.

Oh, no, no, heh.

Um, ahem, well, it'll
take me a few minutes

to pull the
microfilm, uh, for you.

It'll just take a few minutes.

[CHUCKLES]

Um, bye.

- God knows I love Daddy.
- But?

[SIGHS]

Can you imagine him inventing a
job to divert me from my delusions?

I am so sick and tired
of being patronized.

There must be something
real I can do out there.

You can always
put on a hard hat.

- All right, fine. I'll take it.
- Ha, ha, what?

Are you saying I can work
with you on the pipeline?

At least I'd feel as if I were
accomplishing something.

I'm serious, Dex. Everybody
thinks I'm crazy except for you and...

Whoa, whoa.

That doesn't mean you
should be working with the boys.

Fallon, moving pipe isn't
what's really going on here.

What is really going on here?

It's Jeff. Right?

[SIGHS]

- He's part of it.
- He's a big part of it.

You're angry with him. You're
looking for someplace to run to.

You're grasping at straws

when you should be holding
onto something substantial.

- Like my marriage?
- Yes. Like your marriage. Correct.

That is, if you
really want it to work.

Look, he's in New
York. Call him.

See how he's doing. It's not
that hard to pick up a phone.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Just a moment.

- Yeah.
- We got in so late last night

that all I got to see of
New York by moonlight

- was the back of our driver's head.
- Heh.

Why don't you do
the town tonight?

- See a hit show, the ballet?
- I'd rather have dinner with you.

I know. I know. You're a married
man and I'm being very pushy.

But I just hate to eat alone.

I'm due at Campbell's office,

I don't think he'd
appreciate me being late,

especially when I'm asking
him to endorse a candidate.

But you're right, I
hate eating alone too.

Meet me downstairs
in the lobby at : .

[PHONE RINGS]

That's his office. Could you
answer and tell them I'm on my way?

- Mm-hm.
- Thanks.

- Hello?
- Is this Jeff Colby's room?

Yes, it is.

- Is he there?
- Hold on a minute. I'll check for you.

Jeff, it sounds like long
distance. Do you wanna take it?

I'm sorry, he can't come to the phone
right now. Are there any messages?

Sean Rowan, Executive Vice
President, Internal Affairs, ha, ha.

That is going to be on your
office door first thing tomorrow.

- You like it?
- I do.

- But do I deserve it?
- Of course you do.

Don't be so modest.
It doesn't become you.

The best wedding
present I can think of.

- Hmm.
- Mm-hm. I can think of a better one.

- It'll have to wait until I get back.
- Back from where?

Thought we were
celebrating with dinner.

We will, but it'll have to be
later. I'm meeting a friend.

- Well, bring your friend to dinner.
- I can't. He'll be between flights.

Uh, Denver's just a
stopover. I've gotta go, darling.

Pick you up at the
hotel, say, -ish.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hmm.

Well, for a guy who just got
Uncle Blake an endorsement

from Ambassador Campbell,
you don't look that happy.

Oh, I'm happy. It's just that,
uh, I'm a little tired, I think.

You're lonely for
Fallon, aren't you?

Why don't you call her?

If I were your wife, I'd be
waiting by the phone for that call.

You're not Fallon.

Did you get a chance to take
your run in Central Park today?

Yes, I did. Around the reservoir.
And there were lots of other people.

You won't believe
what I had for breakfast.

What did you have for breakfast?

[CHUCKLES]

A large salted pretzel
with mustard all over it

from one of those
street vendors.

I think one was enough.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Sunday's game is more
than important. It's crucial.

That's obvious, Steven. Playoffs
are just around the corner.

Every game from
here on out is crucial.

- Can I go now?
- No. Not yet. I'm not finished.

What do you want from me?
We've been winning. Every week.

Just squeaking by.

What, are you blaming me?

I been playing football
since I was years old.

All I know is a win is a win.

By points, or
points, or damned point.

Are you finished yet? You
get that out of your system?

Let's get down to some facts.

What facts?

Number one,

your mistakes last week cost us
six penalties and two touchdowns.

Number two,

you crossed up two key plays
because you missed a practice session.

And number three, you've
lost some of your edge.

There are times when you're not
concentrating, you're indecisive.

And number four,

there are times when you've
got a few pounds coming at you.

It's not that easy. Man, I am
delivering you a first-place team.

I'm not gonna
accept anything less.

I want you to play your
best football at all times.

And I want leadership,
not arrogance.

Mr. Carrington.

I couldn't help but hear
some of that, Steven.

Aren't you pushing
him a little too hard?

No, Dad, I'm not.
He's a quarterback.

If he can't handle the pressure,
he's the wrong man for the job.

- You test people, don't you?
- Yes.

Yes, I do.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Come in.

I heard you're skipping dinner.
Can I get you something?

I have a terrible headache. It
hasn't been a very good day.

Yeah. Not so good
for me, either. I, uh...

I had it out with
Josh Harris today.

- About what?
- Heh, what do you think?

Look, Steven, if this is
your way of reminding me

about what happened
between Josh and me.

- I told you I haven't seen him again.
- I didn't say you had.

But you're implying that
something's going on between us.

I'm not implying
anything at all.

I, heh... I've been thinking about
my father because he was asking me

all these questions, I don't
know what it was about.

Don't give me that. It is
Josh. You'll never understand.

I need some fresh air.

Excuse me, maître d'. Would you mind
holding our entrée for a few minutes?

[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]

I think you're right.
I'm going to call Fallon.

Oh, absolutely.

- In a while.
- Oh, no. Do it now.

We can get a phone
at the table. Excuse me.

[PHONE RINGS]

- Hello?
- Hi. It's me.

How's everything?

- The kids?
- They're fine.

Got the endorsement for Blake.

So all in all, you're
having a terrific trip, right?

The trip is fine.

Listen. When I get home,
I think we should talk.

Um...

We've had our share of differences,
I'm willing to put certain things aside.

I'll bet you are.

Yeah.

[CHUCKLES]

Was she on her way out?

She had something to do.

- Can we get out of here?
- Heh, Jeff, what about our dinner?

Uh...

[BOTH SPEAK IN FRENCH]

Could we have two doggie bags?

- Doggie bags?
- Mm-hm.

[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]

[CHUCKLES]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Hi.

Uh, Sammy Jo.
Hi. Uh, come on in.

I was driving around and I
just dropped by to say hello.

Come on, Sammy Jo,
there's more to it than that.

You're here because
you care about me.

You do, don't you?

No. No.

I'm confused. I don't
know what I'm doing here.

- But you're here.
- I can't stay.

I'm in a really weird
mood. I can't stay.

[SIGHS]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- You're late, man. Where you been?
- Looks to me like it was perfect timing.

Who was the pretty young lady?

She's nobody you know.

Oh, little on edge, Josh?

Knock it off,
Skip. Let's have it.

Heh, oh, if the fans
could see you now.

Denver's finest.

Shoo. No.

Don't worry about me.
The fans are with me.

No matter what Carrington says,
I'm the one turning this team around.

Oh, good. Well, then,
maybe you don't need this.

[BOTH LAUGH]

- All right.
- There you go.

Thanks.

- Whoa, whoa!
- Oh, heh.

That's all right, though.

There you go.
There's another one.

[GIGGLES]

[CHUCKLES]

Cheers, heh.

Can you believe that maître d's face
when I asked for the rolls and butter?

- Will you ever forget that? Heh.
- I don't think so.

[SIGHS]

You know, Jeff.
I'm sorry, really.

It was my idea for you to call
Fallon and you don't have to cover.

She gave you a
tough time, didn't she?

[SIGHS]

I'll handle that
when I get home.

I know you will.

Well, I think I'd better
go back to my room

before we're the talk of
million New Yorkers.

Don't go.

What?

I don't want you to go.

What about Fallon?

I, uh...

I had a wonderful time tonight,

and I'd like to keep
feeling wonderful.

This is the room where
he sh*t himself, Victoria.

- Right here on this spot.
- Sean.

Joseph Anders, servant
to the Carringtons.

They bought him off and
then they betrayed him.

Our father gave his
life waiting upon them

and not one single damned
Carrington mourned him.

Sean, he's dead.

Why are you doing this to us?

You flew here last night and said you
wanted to see me. All right. Here I am.

I had to see you after what
you've said on the phone.

How could you marry
that Colby woman?

Well, why not? She drove
our father to k*ll himself.

She's the mother of Adam Carrington
who r*ped our sister. Why not?

You're talking about things
that happened years ago.

Oh, ho, believe me, I
would have been here then,

but the Dublin police
locked me up for a while.

Anyway, I'm here now.

It's getting late. I'd better
take you back to the airport.

Sean, wait. Listen me, please.

Let Father's soul rest in peace.

When I saw Kirby
in Paris, she told me

that she's resigned
herself to what happened.

Father left her this house.

Then why hasn't she sold it?

It's because she wants it
as a shrine to his memory.

She hasn't forgiven
and neither have I.

Why look for revenge
by hurting other people

when you're only
going to hurt yourself?

Look, I have no intention of
hurting a single one of them.

They're going to destroy each
other, father, mother and children.

And I'm only here
to help them do it.

It's getting late.

This can't be very easy for him.

What can't be easy?

Choosing who runs the show.

It's too early for him to discuss
turning over the company.

Is it?

Steven, he didn't
ask us to wait in here

so he could bring
us the weather report.

My God, if he's
turning over his empire,

we're talking about a
company that's worth...

Go ahead, Adam.

You've probably added
it up to the last dollar.

Penny, you mean.

Count on one thing.

If it happens, I'm showing up
with my own personal computer.

I don't trust you.

Why don't you include
me in this? I don't trust you.

Doesn't that make
a neat little triangle?

- Fallon.
- Hello, Daddy.

- Steven.
- Dad.

- Adam.
- Father.

I have come to a decision

about what I want to do
with Denver-Carrington.

Please, sit down.

It hasn't been an easy
decision, but it's made.

I've given it very careful
thought and consideration.

My choice to head
the company is...

Steven.
