08x11 - The New Moguls

[bunniefuu]

[KRYSTLE CHUCKLES]

Excuse me.
Mr. Carrington, phone call.

Oh, thank you, Jeanette.

Who could that be calling
this early in the morning?

I have no idea.

Hello?

Yes, this is Blake Carrington.

Look, I don't know how
you got this number,

but I have no statement to make.

Your deadlines
are not my problem.

Now, if you want a statement
about that bordello video tape,

then you call my headquarters.

The press.

You'd think they'd show
a little more concern

about the real issues
in this campaign.

[PHONE RINGS]

Yes?

KRYSTLE: It's gonna
get uglier, isn't it?

It's just a cheap smear
campaign. That's what it is.

Blake, it's so unfair
because it's not true.

You don't know how important
it is for me to hear you say that.

But we have got to do something.

We've got to.

I'm not defending Josh.

I could have handled it. You
didn't have to make a scene.

I'm... That's funny, because I
thought it was Josh who made a scene.

Or am I wrong about that?

And am I wrong or did he
propose to you last night?

I have no intention
of marrying him.

Look, Steven, when you set the
ground rules for moving back in,

I never intended to...

To what? To have
an affair with him?

I didn't have an
affair with him.

Did you sleep with him?

[SIGHS]

SAMMY JO: Haven't
you ever made a mistake?

One mistake that
you've regretted?

I'm only human.

I made a mistake.

Look, Sammy Jo,

I know this isn't an easy
lifestyle we're attempting,

but Josh Harris
isn't the answer.

He's trouble. He's
trouble none of us needs.

SAMMY JO: Steven.

Please don't hate me.

I could never hate you.

Don't you know that?

I, Jeff, take thee, Fallon...

I, Fallon, take thee, Jeff...

to be my lawful wedded wife...

to be my lawful
wedded husband...

Weatherman says there
might be a chance of rain.

You tried that same ploy
last time I was up here.

I remember.

Krystle had just
moved into the house,

and you thought your
world was coming to an end.

So you climbed your thinking
tree to work your problem out.

Is that what you're doing now?

I used to think I could
solve any problem up here.

Just think it out and
the answer would come.

But my problems
were a lot simpler then.

Last time, I asked you to
come down and talk it over.

This time, it's not that easy.

Fallon, whatever happens,

I want you to know I
love you very much.

Well, now we've got a
front-page editorial about last night.

Look at this.

I tell you, I don't know
how we're gonna be able

to prove that
Alexis is behind this.

Right now I'm more concerned
about undoing the damage.

I'll have a statement out
to the press before noon.

If only we could get
a look at that tape,

trace it, prove that it's
been tampered with.

BLAKE: Now, darling.

You mustn't let this get to you.

But it's sad what
they're doing to you.

One way or another,
we'll clear it up.

Come to think of it,

it would be tremendously helpful
if we could track down that tape.

Trouble is, if it is Alexis,
it's not gonna be that easy.

Well, this is excellent.

Fair but very damaging.

The fact that it happened
at your gathering last night

gave us a jump on the story.

I've never been a big
fan of Carrington's politics,

but this little bordello
episode surprised me.

Yes, me too.

One doesn't want to get
involved with dirty politics,

but one does have an
obligation to one's readers.

We're still trying to check
the source of the video.

So far, nothing.

Well, I wouldn't waste too
much manpower on it, Mr. Frasier.

[PHONE RINGS]

Excuse me.

Hello?

Mrs. Carrington?

Why don't you have
somebody show her up?

Yes.

I think I'd better talk to the woman,
so why don't you go out that way?

I don't want to rub
salt into the wound.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Thank you.

Hello, Krystle.

Shame about last night.

How is Blake holding up?

Do you expect me to
believe that you're concerned?

Alexis, I've seen
your editorial.

Oh, I'm sure you have.

Come and sit down.

You must understand, Krystle,

that I can't allow my
personal feelings about Blake

to influence my newspaper.

Well, that's what
you've done and more.

Are you accusing
me of something?

No, not yet.

But I want that video tape.

I don't have it. Did you
try downstairs at the desk?

Yes, and it's
conveniently missing.

Well, if I were you, Krystle, I wouldn't
waste my time looking for that tape.

After all, everybody's seen it.

I'd concentrate on
explaining to the voters

just what Blake was
doing in a bordello.

You know that tape's a fraud.

Is it?

Well, if I were still married to
Blake, I'd try and believe that too.

Well, you're not
married to him. I am.

And I'm not going to let
this destroy his campaign.

You're not gonna get
away with it, Alexis.

Excuse me?

Oh, sorry. Uh, where is she?

She's out of the building now.

What isn't she
gonna get away with?

- When's she gonna get back?
- Not for a while.

Come on, you can tell
me. Alexis and I are like this:

Oh, that's right.

You are just like
this... aren't you?

Maybe even close enough
to help Alexis with that tape

to set Blake up last night?

I mean, what a lousy trick.

Wait a minute. If you wanna hurl
those accusations at Alexis, fine.

She can fend for herself.

I don't think she had
anything to do with it.

And I know I didn't.

You just said
you were like this:

You're using that to accuse me
of doing something against a man

who has been nothing
but good and kind to me.

I would never do anything
to hurt Uncle Blake.

What's the matter, Jeff?

Fallon fill your head
with poison about me?

- Fallon has nothing to do with this.
- Doesn't she?

You accuse me of
trying to hurt Uncle Blake.

She accused me of trying
to destroy your marriage.

You're two of a kind. You should
try harder to get back together.

You deserve each other.

You said it yourself, "We were
nothing but a one-night stand."

And as far as I'm concerned,
it's one night too many.

So if you'll excuse me, I'd
like to get on with my own life.

[DOOR SLAMS & JEFF SIGHS]

Darling, I'm so sorry I'm late.

I had a really boring
business meeting.

- I've already ordered.
- Oh, good.

Well, I'll have some of that
white wine and a salade Niçoise.

Oh, I'm so glad you
could make lunch.

I've hardly seen you
since you got back.

Mother, did you have anything to do
with that horrible video tape last night?

Heh. Fallon, you
sound like Krystle.

No, I didn't.

Now, your father has made
his own bed, and he can lie in it.

Look, I didn't come here to
talk about his peccadilloes.

- I'm concerned about you and Jeff.
- What do you mean?

Look, I observed
you last night, Fallon.

It's obvious that something's
wrong with the two of you.

Well, what is it?

Is he spending too much
time on Blake's campaign?

No, it has nothing
to do with that.

I might as well tell you.

I'm thinking of
filing for divorce.

Divorcing Jeff? Why?

Because I am tired
of ignoring the truth.

We just don't belong
together anymore.

Oh, darling, that's not true.

You've had a good marriage.

- Mother... ALEXIS: All right.

All right, so you've
had some problems.

But all marriages have problems.

We don't communicate.

I'm tired of being
treated like a little girl.

All my decisions made for me.

I just... I'm just
tired of it, that's all.

Darling, I understand
what you're saying,

but those reasons aren't
enough to destroy your marriage.

I mean, Jeff is a wonderful man,
and there are very few out there.

Believe me, Fallon, I know.

Darling, I really
want you to be happy,

and it's not easy sharing
your life with a man.

But you have to try.

I have tried. Very hard.

I'm sure you have.

And I'm sure that Jeff loves
you just as much as you love him.

You don't understand. It
has nothing to do with love.

Yes, I'll love Jeff till I die, but
I can't live with him anymore.

- Fallon...
- I'm sorry, Mother.

Suddenly, I'm not very hungry. I
don't wanna discuss this anymore.

What are you doing here?

Apologizing.

- Josh, I...
- Please?

I'll put them in a vase.

[SNIFFING]

Anybody ever tell you
you look like a clown?

[IN NASAL VOICE] Oh, yeah?

Well, so did you last night.
Now she'll never forgive you.

I already have.

[IN NORMAL VOICE] You hear
that? She said she already forgives me.

I told you she would, you clown.

- [IN NASAL VOICE] Ow!
- Ha, ha.

Easy, honcho. You're
only on the one-yard line.

She still hasn't said
she'd marry you yet.

[IN NORMAL VOICE] Come
on. She already forgave me.

I know she loves me.
She can't live without me.

- It's a foregone conclusion.
- Josh...

[IN NASAL VOICE] Is that
true? Would you marry this hunk?

- Would you?
- Please stop.

Come on, lose this jerk

- and lets you and me...
- I said, stop it!

I can't marry you.

I don't love you.

[IN NORMAL VOICE]
Don't say that, Sammy Jo.

I know you don't mean that.

You're upset. I understand that.

I broke Danny's toy.

I'm sorry. I can fix this.

- Listen.
- I'll get him another one.

I'll get him a better
one. A life-sized one.

Just listen to me.

I care about you.

You've been very
good to Danny and me.

And you love me.

We made love. Once.

I don't wanna be
sorry that we did.

So it's "take a
hike"? Is that it?

Josh, I'm not ready
to marry anybody.

No, you'd rather stay
here and live a sexless lie.

I think you better go.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

It's about time.

- Got it?
- Why don't you clean this place up?

Yeah, yeah. Come on, come on.

All right, all right, all right.

The way you're shoving
that stuff up your nose,

I'm worried about you.

Don't wanna lose
one of my best clients.

You're worried about
me? Heh. That's beautiful.

I'm running the
team and you're out.

I'm gonna marry Sammy Jo
Reece and you're pushing dope.

I'd worry about yourself, pal.

I heard you made a fool
of yourself in front of her

- and Carrington last night.
- You heard wrong.

- Uh-huh.
- We just had a disagreement.

Nothing to worry
about. It's over now.

Yeah, it's over, all right.

Trouble is, you don't see it.

Take a look around, man.

It's fourth down and
the blitz is coming.

[SCOFFS]

- Maitland, stay away from Harris.
- Don't talk to me.

I don't want you turning
him into a cokehead.

Turning him?

Heh, heh. You gotta
be kidding me, man.

Your fair-haired boy has been
doing a high-wire act for a long time.

What the hell are
you talking about?

You really don't know, do you?

I will when you tell me.

This is a big responsibility and
Daddy is expecting a lot of us.

We're on the same
side now, Adam.

I'm hoping we can work together
for the good of the company.

One for all and all for one?

Are you willing to at least try?

I suppose your sincerity
should worry me,

but maybe you mean it this time.

Truce.

Well, well. Will
wonders never cease?

Secret pact?

Harmony for the sake of
corporate profits, Steven.

Good. That's the kind of
cooperation I'm looking for.

Let's get started. We
have a full agenda.

- All set, Dana?
- Yes, I think so.

I just got off the phone
with Vitron Oil in Natumbe.

And gave them
a "yes," obviously.

From everything I read on that
deal, we should do very well.

ADAM: High-gravity crude
at below market prices.

- I agree. We should go ahead.
- Sorry, I disagree.

I just turned it down.

You what?

How could you do that?
We haven't even discussed it.

There was no time to discuss it.
They needed an answer, I said no.

- You had no authority.
FALLON: Adam is right.

Listen, both of you.

I know what I'm doing.

And we don't?

Let's not forget, I
know this business too.

I'm Mother's right
hand at Colbyco.

Well, this is Denver-Carrington.

Whenever a questionable deal
like this came across Dad's desk,

he didn't need
to put it to a vote.

He acted decisively.

You are not Father.

Which of you wants to
tell him we jumped at this

because we didn't have
time to convene a meeting?

You say it's questionable.
I read that proposal.

So did I. It sounded
pretty good to me.

Well, not to me.

What was it you just said, Adam?

"Acting in harmony for the
sake of corporate profits."

Well, isn't that
what we all want?

To show Dad that his
trust has been well placed?

You cannot cut us out of
the decision-making process.

You're absolutely right. If I have to
wake you up in the middle of the night

to discuss a deal
with you, I will.

Do that.

In the meantime,
what about Vitron?

I told them we
weren't interested.

It's done.

You say it's done.

I say you acted too soon.

STEVEN: Fallon.

[ADAM SIGHS]

Fallon. Fallon, would
you please come back in?

- That was a little unpleasant,
wasn't it? ADAM: Unpleasant?

You'd better read your notes. It
was a hell of a lot more than that.

What if I told you I didn't want to
read my notes or take any more?

- Ever.
- What are you talking about?

I tried to tell you before,
I let you talk me out of it.

But I'm not very comfortable
in this company anymore.

Dana.

You know why I
talked you out of it.

You're the only person
around here whom I can trust.

Please, don't take
that away from me.

I can see why the Natumbe oil deal
looked so attractive to you and Adam.

But having done some business
in that part of the world, Fallon,

I'm gonna have to take
Steven's side on this.

Nothing is what it seems there.

Still, he could have
checked with us.

He's gotten so headstrong lately,
like he needs to prove something.

He's trying to show Blake that
Denver-Carrington is in good hands.

Daddy turned the company
over to the three of us.

We're already
fighting each other.

What if we miss
out on a great deal?

You know, Adam and I
thought it looked really good.

Almost too good.

Tell you what.

I'm scheduled to attend
an energy conference

on the Ivory Coast
day after tomorrow.

I'll fly back through Natumbe
and see what I can find out.

Thanks, Dex. I hate to put
you in the middle like this,

but I wouldn't want us to make a
mistake on our very first project.

You know, I'm kind of
flattered that you came to me.

I mean, what are friends for if
we can't help each other out?

[PHONE RINGS]

Yeah...? Ahem. Yeah?

Yeah.

Uh, yeah, okay. Tell
him I'll be right there.

[SIGHS]

Your secretary
said to come right in.

Sit down.

Heh. See the papers?

The odds makers have us
underdogs next game. Jerks.

The way we've been playing
lately, I'm not surprised.

Couple of busted plays. Those
games could've gone either way.

But they didn't.
We lost them both.

And I want to know why.

If this is gonna be another pep
talk, you can save yourself the trouble.

I'll turn it around.

Maybe this isn't
even about football.

Maybe this is about last night.

Last night is long gone.

But you're right. It's
not about football.

I've been seriously considering
voluntary drug testing for the team.

I wanted your reaction.

Drug testing?

Why? Because of Maitland?

You're gonna condemn an
entire team because of that loser?

I'm not condemning anybody.
I just wanted your reaction.

Fine. I think it's a dumb
idea. They'll never go for it.

They will if you
set the example.

Me? Oh, no way, man.
You can't use me that way.

All right. Let me
put this another way.

Either you test, or
I'm suspending you.

- Wait a minute. You can't do that.
- Yes, I can. And I will.

Bastard. This is about
Sammy Jo, isn't it?

This is about you, Harris.

About you screwing up
your life and my team.

You want it straight?

You're a coke addict.

And unless you're willing
to get help, you're gone.

Maitland came to you, didn't
he? Then he told you a pack of lies.

All right.

Tell me the
truth. I'm listening.

You don't wanna hear the truth.
You wanna nail my hide to the wall.

I took Maitland's job and your
ex-wife, and now it's "get Josh Harris."

One more time. Are
you willing to get help?

For the last time, I'm
not playing your game.

You're right about that.

You're not playing any
more games. Not for my team.

- Not for any team.
- You're crazy.

I turned this team
around for you.

You're damaged goods.

You're no good to yourself,
to the team, to anybody.

- Wake up before you lose more.
- You know something?

You and your ex-wife deserve
each other. To hell with you.

You wanna fire
me? Forget it. I quit.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR SLAMS]

Mm-hm. Yeah.
That's fine. Thank you.

Good night.

Blake, can I talk to
you for a moment?

BLAKE: Sure. I thought
you'd gone home.

Had interviews with
out-of-state papers.

Let me guess. About
that video tape, right?

Well, why talk about the real issues
when you can exploit a good scandal?

Mm-hm. Comes with the territory.

Good news is just good, but
evil news, why, that's sensational.

I, um... I'd like
you to read this.

You can't be serious.

I think it makes sense.

To have you resign in the
middle of the campaign?

I feel responsible
for that tape.

You're no more
responsible for that than I am.

Jeff, this campaign is beginning
to take a toll on all of us.

Now, if you want some
time off for personal reasons,

I'd understand that.

I don't think that time off is the
answer to my personal problems.

Um...

I know that you and Fallon
are having a bad time.

But that happens in
the best of marriages.

We don't have the
best of marriages.

I don't know what
we have anymore.

Anything I can do?

I don't think there's
anything anybody can do.

Tsk.

[SIGHS]

Well, whatever the
problem is between you two,

nothing would make me happier
than to see you two work it out.

But...

I just want you to know,
whatever the outcome is,

it's not gonna make any
difference in the way I feel about you.

Thanks, Blake.

As for this...

I'm not gonna lose a
good campaign manager

just because of some
cheap, dirty trick, you know.

[JEFF CHUCKLES]

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

I'll say this for you,

you've sure got guts
coming to see me.

I'm trying to help my husband.

We help a lot of
husbands in here.

But the kind of help
your husband needs,

I don't provide.

You know why my husband was
here and what a lie that tape is.

Lies, truths. In here,
they all blend together.

I'm not asking you to
betray any confidences.

But if one of your girls
did make that tape...

I would know about it.

Somebody made that tape.

Not one of my girls.

Charlie wants to pay
by check this time.

I've told him before,
we don't accept checks.

Cash and carry,

or he can take his
business elsewhere.

I appreciate what
you're trying to do.

But in my business,
we ask no questions,

we offer no answers.

And my clients appreciate that.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Somebody who works
for you sh*t that tape,

and I'm sure your clients
will be interested to know

that you secretly provide
that kind of service.

Want some?

[FRONT DOOR OPENS]

[GROWLING]

Darling, I was
worried about you.

About me? Or the payoff?

Well, about you, of course.

If you mean did I pay off
a trashy camera person,

mission accomplished.

Good.

Then Krystle won't be able
to trace anything, will she?

Don't worry, you're protected.

- Your humble servant has seen to it.
- Heh.

You are not my servant, and
you're anything but humble.

Something wrong?

I don't like meeting
hookers in dark alleys.

Darling, I know this has
all been rather sordid,

but if it's going to destroy
Blake's campaign, it'll be worth it.

Forgive me. It's
been a long day.

Too long without you.

Hmm.

You always say the right things.

But do you mean them?

Well, what's the phrase?

"Actions speak
louder than words."

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Just tell me if we're going
to make the deadline.

Close doesn't
make it, gentlemen.

Close only counts in
horseshoes and hand grenades.

Not at Colbyco.

"Horseshoes and hand grenades"?

It's an old family saying.

Ha, ha. It does make a
point. I didn't mean to barge in.

- I was just looking for Alexis.
- What do you need?

Well, I was gonna leave
this presentation with her.

It's a department analysis

with a recommendation for
a new management position.

Recommending
yourself for the job?

[CHUCKLES]

Yes, I am, as a matter of fact.

Because I honestly feel that I would
put more into it than anyone else.

Such as?

Well, for one thing, I have a
strong background in engineering,

and I worked in a similar
position in Canada.

And for another thing...

Why am I going
through this for you?

Are you gonna
recommend against it?

Do you think that would have
a bearing on Alexis' decision?

Yes, I think it would.

I think she listens to
you and she trusts you.

And it's trust well placed.

So when I recommend
it to her, she will listen.

Do you mean it?

I never say anything
I don't mean.

[PHONE BUZZES]

Yes?

Thank you.

Alexis is here.

I'll bring it up at lunch.

Thanks.

Let's hope you deserve it.

What's it been? Ten years? Heh.

It's a pleasant
surprise, Dexter.

Well, I don't know if I'd use the word
"pleasant" after our last encounter.

Oh, come on, Dex. That
was quite a while ago.

You will admit, I've improved
my method of operation.

I'll give you that.

The last time I heard the
name Harry Thresher mentioned,

it was, well, connected
to a revolutionary coup in...

Ah. Yeah, well, since then, I've
decided that capitalism and free enterprise

far better suit my needs.

What brings you to
my part of the world?

Well, I was at an energy
conference on the Ivory Coast.

Heard some good
things about Vitron Oil.

I thought I'd stop by, see if I
could get in on the good deal.

What deal is that?

Word is, Vitron Oil is sitting

on a fair amount of
high-gravity crude,

needs to be moved.

You heard that
at the conference?

I also heard the price is right
if transport can be provided.

Any chance of me
getting in on the action?

I'd be willing to, uh, pay
a private commission.

It's not like the old days, Dex.

I'm an oil minister of Natumbe
now. It's a private deal.

I'll make it worth
your while, Harry.

[CHUCKLES]

Look around you, Dex.

Does it look to you like I
need help from my friends?

Well, I have to admit,
you've come a long way.

If I recall correctly, you used to
use those, instead of collect them.

As you said, I've
come a long way.

So have you.

I'm sure you're
anxious to get home.

Well, at least
we've reconnected.

Who knows where that will lead?

Who knows?

Safe journey home.

May I use a phone
to call the airport?

Yes, sir. Right over there.

[PHONE BUZZES]

RECEPTIONIST: Yes, sir?

Uh, right away, sir.

Yes, we wish to place an
overseas call, person-to-person,

to Mr. Sean Rowan in
Denver, Colorado, U.S.A.

I've just had a visit
from Dex Dexter.

Interesting. Did
my name come up?

No, but he did
ask about the deal.

Had a feeling they'd have it checked.
Did he think it was a good deal?

Good enough to try
to bribe his way in.

Good. The
machinery is in motion.

May I get you
something? Coffee or tea?

Never touch the stuff. Thanks.

You, um... You wanted to see us?

Mrs. Carrington, I got
to thinking after you left.

I don't like people to
take advantage of me.

The tape? Where did you get it?

Trade secret, I'm afraid.

I don't know if it's going
to be any help to you.

Somebody has removed the voices.

There's no sound on it.

Will you come forward
and make a statement?

You know why my
husband came to see you.

Your wife is a very
gutsy lady, Mr. Carrington.

If you b*at this, she
deserves the credit.

But my credibility doesn't
go beyond my establishment.

So you're on your own with that.

KRYSTLE: Cora.

Thanks.

Well, we got the tape.

[BLAKE CHUCKLES]

They'd deal with us. They're
up to their necks in quarterbacks.

They know we're in a time bind.
They might ask for our entire front line.

- You fired Josh?
STEVEN: Yesterday.

Get the rest of the coaches together.
Meet you on the field in half an hour.

- Yeah, sure.
- Thanks.

Why did I have to read about it?
Why did it have to happen at all?

There was nothing
more between us.

It had nothing to do with you.

Why are you doing this, Steven?

I did what was best for
the team and for Josh.

You ruin a man's career
because that's what's best for him?

Don't push this, Sammy Jo.
You don't have all the facts.

And what are all the facts?
Other than you wanna show me

how much control you have over
my life and everyone around me.

I'll ignore that. I
know you're angry.

- You're damned right I'm angry.
- You want the truth?

- Josh Harris is a coke addict.
- That's a lie.

I gave him every chance to
help himself, but he refused.

I don't believe you.

I should have told you
yesterday, but I was hoping

that he would change
his mind and accept help.

But he's hooked.

I don't want him around Danny,

and I don't want him around you.

Fighting this scandal is
going to keep Blake so busy

that his campaign is going
to disappear around him.

- Feeling pretty good about yourself?
- Oh, I'm feeling great about us.

You don't know how wonderful
it is to be in love with a man

who's working with me
instead of against me.

I wanna be there for all
the big moments in your life.

- Mm.
- The good and the bad.

BLAKE: Excuse me.
- No apologies necessary.

I know how interested you
are in my campaign, Alexis.

So I thought I'd tell you
that in less than half an hour,

I'm holding a press conference.

By the time that's over, the
so-called bordello scandal

will be exposed
for just what it was:

a cheap trick.

So I suggest you
watch the : news.

There's a tape you
might like to see.

It's what the television
people call a "rerun."

Only this one is going to have
a new and surprising ending.

And I would like to
tell you how angry I am

that we have to take
the time and the effort

away from the real
issues in this election.

But apparently, these days,

some of our local press is
hell-bent on character assassination.

But not this time, ladies
and gentlemen. Not this time.

Now, I'd like my wife,
who was instrumental

in clearing this matter up, to
explain some of the details to you.

We have recovered the video tape
that supposedly shows my husband

negotiating for the services of a
prost*tute in a Colorado bordello.

Since the sound track has
been conveniently removed,

we've asked Mr. Jeffrey
Ames, an expert lip-reader,

to tell us exactly
what's being said.

She just offered Mr. Carrington
a drink and he refused it.

"You said on the phone you
wanted to talk about your brother."

He says, "Yes."

"You once told someone that on
the night my mother d*ed in that fire..."

AMES [ON TV]: She says,
"Your brother was having an affair

with a young woman who'd
married into a prominent family.

I think I can
identify that woman."

Turn it off.

[SEAN CHUCKLES]

What are you laughing at?

You went hunting for
a bear with a cap p*stol.

The bear just
walked all over you.

I just don't understand how
they got ahold of that tape.

- I thought that you...
- Don't blame me for this.

No, I told you, if you go
after a man like Carrington,

you do it once, but you
have to win by a knockout.

You just lost the fight.

Oh, no, my dear Sean,
that's where you're wrong.

I might have lost this round,
but the fight is far from over.

I promise you that.

Has he been to the
stadium at all today?

Well, has anybody seen him?

All right, thank you.

[RINGING]

[LINE RINGING]

Dex, are you still in Natumbe?

Yeah, I'm gonna hang around until
tomorrow. Ask a few more questions.

What have you learned?

Oh, nothing that would
make you feel very good.

Harry Thresher is a
lowlife in a new suit.

He's somehow
connected to Sean Rowan.

Mother's husband? How?

- I mean, are you sure? DEX
[OVER PHONE]: Trust me.

Which you better
do until I get back.

I wouldn't say anything
to anyone either, Fallon.

Give me a chance to
snoop around a little longer.

Uh, I won't... I
won't say anything.

Fallon, don't get depressed.

Vitron looks legit.

Even a Harry Thresher
could've turned his life around.

Well, thanks. I appreciate it.

Yes.

Bye.

- Who was that?
- A friend.

Did you want something?

Well, I thought, um, maybe
you'd like to go out for dinner.

Thanks, but I'm not very hungry.

[SIGHS]

Actually, I was
hoping we could talk.

- About what?
- You know damn well about what. Us.

I have nothing
left to say, Jeff.

Well, I do. Things are
getting worse between us.

I know.

What do we do about it?

You're the one with all
the answers. You tell me.

Oh, now, what is that
supposed to mean?

Is all of this my fault?

It's nobody's fault. I
don't whose fault it is.

Fallon, you and I have
been through a lot,

and we've survived
because we love each other.

Maybe I wanna do
more than just survive.

Maybe I wanna live a little bit.

Fallon,

do you still love me?

I guess I should
have seen it coming.

- Jeff...
- No, no, I'll say it.

I think one of us
should see an attorney.

[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

Josh?

Josh?

Josh?

It's Sammy Jo.

Oh, my God.

Josh?

Josh!

Josh? Josh?

I need an ambulance at, um,
Baldwin Avenue, Apartment .

A man's unconscious.

I think it's a drug
overdose. I don't know.

Please hurry.

I'm sorry, Josh.

MAN [ON RADIO]: Here's an
update on that Denver Monarchs story.

There's a report out that
first-string quarterback, Josh Harris,

put on waivers yesterday
by the team's owner,

has refused to take a drug test.

It was rumored that
owner Steven Carrington

had proof the quarterback
was using cocaine.

So far, no one's been able
to reach Harris for comment.

He's been under pressure to win
ever since he took over the team

early in the season. The question
is, was it too much pressure?

Now the local weather.

A little temperature
change expected...
