02x15 - Motherly Overprotectiveness

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Dynasty...

FALLON:
Atlantix FC is all about community.

- Who k*lled my child?
- I'm sorry for you and your wife,

but I had nothing to do with it.

- Everything's gonna be okay.
- Steven is in Paris.

I just came here to get away,

and I'm already feeling much better

thanks to my friend George.

I don't know what's going on.
He's real, isn't he?

I think I want to talk to someone.

- FALLON: We're gonna get you help.
- All this started to see firsthand

the life that I've been denied,

and now I'm gonna claim it.

Hank, if you're seeing this,
please call me.

We will get through this together.

All I wanted was to
make him stop crying!

GEORGE: Hey, hey, hey.

- ALEXIS: ...until I heard the evidence.
- _

- Fingerprints...
- _

Pain's pretty bad today?

Mom, no, no, no.

Look, I think y-you've had enough pills.

Why-why don't you try going to sleep.

No, don't touch that.

- I-I can't be alone. You-you can't leave.
- No...

Mom, Mom, it's okay, it's okay.

- You can't leave.
- It's okay.

- I'm here.
- You're my baby. He's a fake.

That's not Adam.

Mom, what're you talking about?

He's not their real son, Mikey.

REPORTER (on TV):
You mean Cristal Flores?

- ALEXIS: Who is she really?
- You are.

(laughs softly)

Blake.

I'm fine.

Had, uh, insomnia's best
friend here to keep me company.

- Were you up all night again?
- Half the night.

You should've woken me.

I did everything I could
to get back to sleep,

my mind just kept playing,
oh, what I did that night,

over and over and over.

Then it went to a really dark place

of the monster you must think I am.

No.

You know I don't think that.

(knocking on door)

Knock, knock, Daddy. It is after : ,

which is normally lunchtime for you,

but you are, uh,
sleeping in and drinking in again,

which would be cute in a
pre-newlywed-y sort of way

if it weren't worrying
the hell out of me.

Okay, I am gonna leave you two alone.

There's nothing to worry about.

I'm just having trouble sleeping
because I've got business things

- on my mind.
- Oh, please.

If you truly were busy with business,

then you wouldn't be wearing
silk pajamas past sunrise.

Don't act brave for me, Daddy.

You have been through a lot lately,

with the baby and Mark Jennings,

so why don't you just allow yourself
to feel your "mourning sickness"

and let me take care
of you in the meantime.

That was, uh, "mourning" with a "U,"

in case it went over your...

- I just want to help, Dad.
- By insulting me in my bedroom?

I mean, like you always say,

tragedy brings us closer together.

- For a minute.
- And in this minute,

I am here for you, okay?

Just on call / ,

conferring with Anders
about household management,

I'll even keep Alexis at bay
until you're back on top,

- and out of your jammies.
- You are so transparent.

That's an interesting
word for thoughtful.

I know why you're so gung ho to help.

You feel guilty that you were
away visiting Steven in Paraguay

while Cristal and I were
taking care of everything here

in the house. Well, there's no need to.

Everything is absolutely fine.

Mm...

So? Did you tell him about Steven?

Of course I didn't.

With everything that's going on,
he doesn't need to hear

that his son has gone insane

and checked himself into
a mental institution.

- Yes, he does.
- No, he doesn't.

We all remember his meltdown after
First Generation Cristal d*ed.

Okay, we can't risk having
him go back to Dark Blake.

Fallon, I'm not a good liar, okay?

You know it. I know it.

The gazillions of people
I've lied to know it.

We promised Steven that
we would keep it a secret,

that that is what is best for him.

And now we need to do
what's best for Blake.

And I'm also doing what's best for you.

- By torturing me?
- No, by feeding you.

I have hired VIP catering

of all the best comfort foods in Atlanta

because I know if I want
to keep your mouth shut,

I've got to keep it full.

But for now you and I
will not be responsible

for bringing any more
grief into this house.

I need to shelter my dad.

No more drama. Okay?

What catering?

Giving back to the community
was never really on my radar.

But after a recent epiphany,

I bought the land to turn it into this

center for learning and arts,

designed specifically to
help low-income families,

kids like I was once.

We all know they're not given
enough opportunities to thrive.

We are failing them.

So, here's an opportunity for
us to do something about it.

Rezoning acres in Adams Park

is an ambitious proposal, Mr. Colby.

You approve projects
like this all the time

in different parts of the city.

Look, I am fully funding this one

and not taking a penny of profit.

All I need, all the community needs,

is your approval when you vote tomorrow

so we can start changing lives.

Everybody wins here.

Thank you, Mr. Colby.

We vote tomorrow at
: p.m. Until then,

- we are adjourned.
- WOMAN: Nice job, Mr. Colby.

Good luck tomorrow.

Impressive presentation, man.

Colby Music and Arts Center.

It's not about me.

I'm not Blake trumpeting his
Carrington Family Foundation.

My name isn't even going on this
'cause I don't want

anyone feeling like
they owe me anything.

That's how Blake made
me feel my whole life.

- It's a beautiful thing, man.
- Look,

I know we've had our issues,

but, uh, I'm a positive man now, okay?

So I don't need you showing up here

and reminding me of being betrayed.

That's not what I'm here to do.

Trust me.

I want things to be good between us.

Okay. So, why are you here?

I'm here to make FC Atlantix

your first official sponsor.

This is about giving the
kids music and arts, Mike.

Not slapping some corporate
logo on their backs.

I thought it was about changing lives.

That's what sports can do.
It did it for me.

Kept me off the streets
and out of trouble.

Gave me goals and focus.

We'll have the team mentor the
kids in after-school sports.

It's great for the community. Great PR

for the organization,
and, like you said,

everybody wins here.

You know I'm a silent partner
in the Atlantix, right?

It's perfect synergy.

We join programs. Make
the world a better place.

I'm already tied to
Blake on one business,

and I don't want him
anywhere near this one.

I don't need you or him to
make the world a better place.

What are you doing?

Learning about my real family.

Well, you-you look like a stalker.

Is that better or
worse than a kidnapper?

It was my boyfriend who kidnapped you.

He was a monster.

And he sure wasn't gonna
put up with a crying baby,

so I took you, and I ran away.

I saved you from being k*lled.

You could've returned me to
the Carringtons at any point.

I could've been sent to prison.

- I was scared.
- Shut up!

You stole my life, the life I was owed.

- And-and a father.
- No.

It's not like that. I did everything

because I love you.

Call it plain motherly
overprotectiveness.

No. No, you're a liar.

If you loved me, you wouldn't
have lied to me my whole life.

You're the monster.

Don't you talk to me like that.

I am your mother, Mikey.

Don't call me that! I am not Mikey!

- And you are not my mother!
- (gasps) Oh!

(indistinct chatter)

Thank you.

Oh, you must be Sam's sushi table.

I know you charge by the hour,

but the main thing to know about Sam

is that he eats in record time,
so I'm thinking a flat fee

might be the best way to handle this.

I'm sorry, I'm not Sam's sushi table,

if that's a thing.

- Then who are you?
- I'm Adam.

Hmm.

So, Adam, you have a last name?

Carrington.

I'm your brother.

Ugh. Anders? Security?
Do we even have security anymore?

You don't need to call security.
I just want to see Blake, my father.

Oh, we have another lunatic here, do we?

FALLON: Look, I swear,

any other day, we would be
very open to have you scam us.

But my dad is a mess,
and he does not need

any more stress right now.

So maybe you can, I don't know,
come back in a month,

and we can go from there?

I'm not scamming you.
And I'm not leaving.

- I've come a long way.
- Okay, I asked you politely.

- Just listen to me. Give me five minutes.
- But we do have a g*n room.

- I can explain everything.
- No, no, no.

I'm not gonna give you five minutes.

- Anders, please? Dad?
- BLAKE: Anders, what's going on?

What on earth is happening?

FALLON: This Mr. Ripley here

claims that he is Adam.

But you're a year late, dude.

The Adam ship has sailed, docked

and already set fire to the loft.

Oh, my God, he has a g*n.

FALLON: Or a rattle.

Where did you get that?

From the woman who told
me that she was my mother.

But now I know I'm your son.

Your real son.

So much for no more drama.

♪ ♪

It was the most heartbreaking
moment of my life,

learning that I wasn't her real son.

Learning that my life was a lie,

and learning that my name was
Adam Carrington, not Mikey Harrison.

FALLON:
And this is the part where you learn

I think you're full of it.

I'm having the strangest déjà vu.

I don't understand. What about Hank?

Oh, right. That's why.

Hank is the real Adam.
You're just... too late.

And you have ten fingers.

My mother also told me about that,

how the kidnappers took
a finger from the morgue

and sent it to you,
claiming it was mine.

It wasn't. I'm sorry,
but Hank was a fraud,

and it's one of the reasons I came,
to tell you.

So, you decided to sit on
your ass for four months

instead of warning us?

I would've come sooner,
but I didn't want

my mother to get arrested.

But then she passed away.

Yeah, I know that sounds crazy.

No, it doesn't.

Sounds noble.

Are you high?

Okay, am I the only one that thinks

that Hank's positive DNA
test trumps this cliché

Nicholas Sparks novel and an
old tarnished baby rattle?

This old baby rattle was my mother's,
it was mine.

Guess what else was your mother's? DNA.

Fallon, I just feel it in my gut.

A father knows his son.

Really? What's Steven's favorite color?

- Pink.
- No.

I think your gut feeling
is you not wanting

that creep Hank to be your spawn.

You heard everything he said.

The events of that night.

The case was handled privately.

How could he have gotten
all that information?

- How would Hank?
- Hank didn't know half of it.

Which makes me think that
he faked his DNA results.

Well, I don't know that that's possible.

- Is it?
- I'm more than happy to take a DNA test.

In front of you,
if that's what you need.

And I'm not looking for
a payout or anything.

Yeah, you say that now.

In a week, you'll be drowning yourself
in king crab and Gucci loafers.

- No offense.
- Offense taken.

I have a happy life.

And I plan on going back to it.

Dad, I think you need to rest.

- This is too much to handle for anyone.
- JENNINGS: I'm so sorry.

He's been through a lot lately.

Yeah, yeah, we...

we lost a baby.

And Hank, who I thought
was my son, and Steven,

who I also thought was my son,

has run away to Paraguay to live.

SAM: Yes, he's, um...

he's been in Paraguay this whole time

doing... good for the communities

and, uh, he's building...

wells and houses.

- Yeah. Lot of good stuff.
- And more wells.

- He's such a giver.
- GEORGE: Paraguay, huh?

Oh, that's, that's a shame.

I was... really looking
forward to meeting him.

All right, here's how this is gonna go.

I am gonna tell Anders
to book you a room

at a Motel... S-Seven or Eight.

Or whatever, I don't care.

And then maybe, if the DNA test

results are positive,
we will move you to a Ritz.

But for now,

I am perfectly fine
being the only child.

You really shouldn't have
come here, young man.

BLAKE: No. Enough.

He's our son.

I can feel it in my heart.

But because I know you
don't have a heart,

we'll do a DNA test.

Isn't it incredible?

You not going for the alcohol? Yes.

I don't need it.

I'm happy.

You don't think I'm jumping into this?

I know it when I know it.
That's Adam. That's my son.

These last days have been
nothing short of a...

nightmare for us.

But I think this is what I
needed to get my mind at ease.

What is it?

Okay, that was about seconds.

I don't think they have a chip for that.

Did you see this?

"Pre-site approval request denied."

- It means I can't build my stadium.
- I can read.

I know what it means.

- I'm sure you can call someone.
- That's only when

there's other people in my way.

This time, I'm competing
with Mother Nature

and-and her "unsustainable resources

that will damage the environment
in the surrounding area."

Blah, blah, blah.

I can't risk going through with this,

not after the scandal in Clarke County.

There must be another place
in Atlanta you can find.

I have one month to find
another site in the area

or they will cancel my bid
and I will lose the team.

And I can't lose another thing,
Cristal. I can't.

Okay, stop spinning out.

Let me handle it.

- You?
- ¿Perdón?

Yes, me.

You said that you didn't
want a part of any of this.

And I also said I wanted to
paint our nursery yellow,

but I can't have that, right?

And if I can't have
the future we planned,

I need to start building a
new one or I'm gonna go crazy.

And handling my team
is the way to do that?

Our team.

I already helped run
a team for my family.

Exactly.

And you said you were miserable

and that they were horrible people.

Which is why they're
not in my life anymore.

But I still know how to do the job.

Let me handle it.

Trust that I know what to
do with the family I love.

God knows, I could use the time
to bond with my son.

And while you take care of your dynasty,

I'll take care of ours.

(horns honking)

MICHAEL: Since when are you

representing the team?

Since Blake bought it for
me as an engagement gift.

Do you want a play-by-play
of our relationship

or can we talk about land?

Can we? Because I'm in charge

of player relations,
Cristal, not infrastructure.

Or do you want a play-by-play
of how the business works?

Nice. But I already have my
eyes on another piece of land.

The perfect piece of land.

It's actually in the same neighborhood.

(chuckles) Jeff's land.

Is that why you came to talk to me,

- so I can help you schmooze?
- No.

I came to you because
you're also part owner.

(exhales)

Fine. You and Jeff know each other.

- We're not exactly friends.
- I know.

But maybe you know him well enough

to tell me what deal he would agree on.

Jeff's the only one
with enough land to fit

a football stadium in
the same area we agreed

to place the team.
And he's also a silent partner.

Jeff's program has a way bigger impact

on this community than our team.

I can't do this to him.

I thought you guys weren't friends.

This is not about me.

This is about making a
difference in people's lives.

Funny, I'd think you'd be
focused on your own life.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- If we don't have a stadium deal,

we don't have a team.

And if we don't have a team,

you're in charge of player
relations of nothing.

Your stock options become worthless.

Of course, you can always go back

to being a driver for
someone like Blake.

Or me. Or Jeff.

You do have more experience at that

than at running a team.

ANDERS: Staff will have your belongings

- up here in no time.
- Uh, I didn't bring any.

I didn't expect to be invited to stay.

Oh, that's the Carringtons for you.

What they lack in tact,

they make up for in hospitality.

We've had all sorts of waifs and strays:

crazy m*rder*r, kidnapping nanny,

faux gurus...

- Do you think that's me?
- I hope not.

But I've learned the hard
way not to trust strangers.

I'm hoping for a positive result,

so that we can erase
Hank from our lives.

A moment with the Lindbergh baby?

Fallon, look, I think we got off

- on the wrong foot.
- Yes, you're right.

Your feet never should've
stepped into our foyer.

Now, how much will it take
for you to turn around

and go back to your
Island of Misfit Boys?

$ million?

I'm serious. I am not gonna

let you put my father through this.

I don't mean any harm to your father.

Ten?

I can't believe you're my little sister.

Ha. That makes two of us.

You know, all my life,
I thought I was an only child.

And I always dreamed
about having a big family.

I was never jealous of my
friends who grew up with money.

Just the ones who had siblings.

The way you're protecting your dad,
I-I wish I had

someone like you protecting
me when I was growing up.

I admire you, Fallon.

$ million?

I have to get a DNA test.

You can't tempt me with money, Fallon.

The only reason I came here
was to find out where I'm from.

I'm not letting you put
a price tag on that.

BLAKE: I-I know this isn't the-the
best father and son bonding time,

but if Hank lied about his sample,
I want to be careful

- about everything else.
- I get it.

Being betrayed by the people
you love can screw you up.

Got to say, seeing the name
Carrington all over the hospital

is blowing my mind.

Well, the Carrington name

is on practically every
building in Atlanta.

I know it's overwhelming, but...

you'll get used to it pretty quick.

I'm still getting used to the people,

let alone the name.

And I-I don't know
anything about anyone.

Well, let's see.

Alexis's biggest asset

is the last name that we let
her pretend that she still has.

That and a trailer we
used to let her sleep in.

Fallon's thing is she almost married

her cousin, but then she decided

to marry a total stranger instead.

And then Anders, Anders is...

He's like a second father to me.

And an actual father to Steven.

He and Alexis had an affair in the past.

We just found out about it,
and that's why Steven's gone.

God, I hope this isn't
making you want to run away.

No, it doesn't.

I'm not just doing this for you.

I need these answers.

I need to know where I came from,

who my father is.

And, to be honest, I need to know

why you're so trusting of me
when no one else seems to be.

- Do you need a kidney or something?
- (chuckles)

No, not yet. But how's your liver?

I just don't want to
lose a son to DNA again.

Uh, I'm fine getting my blood done,

but seeing it done on
other people makes me feel

kind of woozy. Do you mind if I...

step out and use the bathroom?

No. If I faint, I'm in the right place.

(woman speaking indistinctly over P.A.)

(indistinct chatter)

JENNINGS:
There are plenty of cases that show

huge increases in investment

when a team adopts a neighborhood.

And we plan to hire % locally
during the construction period.

And we'll pay you three times

what you already paid for the land.

It's a win-win for everyone.

It's a double win for you,
I'll give you that.

The investments in the
area you're talking about,

that's just a spin on gentrification.

And the jobs,
they're good in the short-term, yes,

but they're gone once
construction is done.

We'll make it our mission
to employ more locals

once we get the stadium off the ground.

You name the percentage,
and we'll make it happen.

Better yet, you'll be in charge of that

as the partner you already are.

And what exactly would
that employment look like?

The only thing to give
are concession gigs

and jerseys to go along with it.

What's enriching about that?

I know what you're doing,

'cause I've been doing it my whole life.

You're trying to make a deal.

But I'm trying to change lives.

So I want no part of your great plan.

Tell Blake that sending his
wife was a-a waste of time.

- I'm his partner.
- Right.

Close the door on your way out, partner.

Thanks so much for taking
the time to do this.

Consider it an apology for earlier.

That was no way to treat
a stranger who barged

into my house claiming to
be a long-lost Carrington.

Besides, now we get to do our "getting

to know my maybe-soon-to-be
brother" picnic,

which we haven't done since Hank, so...

- You said your name was Mikey?
- Mike "Mikey" Harrison.

Uh, I never really liked it though.

Too ' s for me.

There's nothing wrong with the ' s.

You can ask my fanny packs.

Plural?

So, you don't like the ' s. What else?

What else do you want to know?
Favorite movie,

- first love, and all that?
- Sure.

The last place you worked.

Three previous cities you lived in.

Last four digits of my social?

Oh, you're serious.

Well, I grew up in Billings.
Been there my whole life.

Uh, I worked as a vet
at Happy Tails Clinic.

- Aw.
- (scoffs)

Took care of my mom while she was sick.

No siblings.

Though... now I guess I have two.

Though I haven't heard
much about Steven.

Is he coming back from Paraguay or...

Would it be weird if I
went out there to meet him?

Steven is a very private person.

He doesn't want strangers
coming up to him,

telling him that they're his brother.
Again.

So what's his deal?
What's my maybe brother like?

SAM:
He's the best brother you'll ever have.

He's kind and generous.

We don't need to answer
any of these questions

until we can prove that you're
a member of this family.

You barely made the train, honey.

It's gonna take a while
before you get a window seat.

I'm sorry, honey.

I just thought we were trying
to get to know each other.

Well, this is how I get to know people.

And I think I've got everything I need.

If you wanted a résumé,

you could've just done
a Google search on me.

And you could've sent an
envelope with a mouth swab,

but here we are.

And I did search you,

but you can't believe
everything you read,

or hear, right? Mikey Gordon Harrison.

Come on, Sam.

Really? It's not even : p.m.

And I'm really looking
forward to going to bed.

For the first time in forever,
I feel relaxed.

People should replace sleeping
pills with long-lost sons.

Right.

- About the stadium...
- Yeah, about that.

I'm-I'm really thankful to you

for taking the reins and
letting me spend time with Adam.

I don't know what I would've
done if I had to handle

that crisis on top of everything.

Yeah. It's all smooth sailing.

Just sorting out some details.

Well, I'm glad you're on top of it.

(sighs)

So you got what you
needed from Adam or Mikey

or whatever his name is,
and we're done, right?

Because I don't think I
can keep lying anymore.

Oh, settle down, Gaybraham Lincoln.

Yes, we're done.

Now it's time for a little trip.

Okay. There's a place in Florida
we can stay at until the dust settles.

I told you, Sam,
I'm not setting foot in Florida

until I die or run for office.

This is more of a learning trip.

I'm gonna teach you how
to up your lying game.

In Billings, Montana.

- It's okay, buddy.
- (dogs barking)

You're such a good boy.

Oh, excuse me.

Excuse me, this is an emergency.

Our dog needs to see a vet immediately.

We're married. She's my husband.

- Your wife.
- Wife.

He's just nervous because,
you know, the dog is sick.

- This dog.
- Yes. She gets it, honey.

Right, darling. (chuckles)

Anyway, we called earlier,

but some secretary said
that you were all booked,

which made us very sad,
because we were hoping

that our doggy could see
the amazing Dr. Mikey.

- Mikey, uh, Harrison...
- Mm-hmm.

- ...I believe is his last name.
- Mm-hmm.

Anyway, please. Reggie needs him.

- Well, what's wrong with Reggie?
- I don't know.

You know, I've never heard
that name for a female dog.

Uh, Reggie as in, uh, Regina.

'Cause, you know,
that's such a cute name, right?

- And she's such a Reggie.
- Oh.

So can we, uh,
see Dr. Harrison, or what?

I'm afraid he doesn't work here anymore.

What? Well, that's unexpected.

Where-where does he work?

I mean, we really, really want our dog

to see the best vet in Billings.

- Oh, really, Reggie is a perfect name for her.
- (both chuckle)

Was he fired?

- Nothing like that, I assure you.
- SAM: Well, then what was it?

I mean, we should know that information

being the parents of
a prospective client.

- Oh, don't cry.
- (whimpering)

Don't cry, we'll find him.

We will find Dr. Harrison.

I don't blame you for wanting
to see him... he was the best...

but he went to Atlanta.
Everyone misses him.

Even the pets.

You know, he loved animals so much,

he left human medicine to become a vet.

Oh, he was a people doctor?

Well, I think, uh,
I think Reggie's feeling all better.

You want to live here? Yes.

Let's go, Daddy.

Got some more digging to do.

- (whimpering)
- (gasps)

(Michael sighs)

(footsteps approaching)

I found another tract
of land that could work.

- The state did reclaim it, though, so...
- Michael.

That's not necessary.

I've got it all worked out.

- Is that so?
- It is.

But I'm gonna need your help.

I need you to go to
the zoning board vote.

- Bad idea. Jeff will be pissed if he sees me there.
- Good.

We're counting on that.

Well, you have been so helpful.

And if there's anything the
Carrington Hospital Group

can do for you, do not hesitate.

Okay. Thank you. (gasps)

Unbelievable.

I'm thinking about
buying land in Montana.

You know I'm all about real estate,
but at this point,

it would be less of an undertaking

to adopt another dog
and name her Reggie.

It's gross how well you know me.

So when I called the hospital
in Billings and I told them

that I would like to
hire Dr. Mikey Harrison

for one of our hospitals
here in Atlanta,

they told me that he
did not choose to leave.

He was forced out for patient abuse.

Apparently, he was prescribing opioids

to his patients without telling them,

and then stealing the dr*gs for himself.

- Well, that's cruel.
- If this guy got fired

and had his medical license
revoked for stealing dr*gs,

doesn't it make sense that he
would go to a veterinary clinic

where he could steal them
without the strict rules

- of a human hospital?
- I hate to say it, but...

- You think I'm crazy?
- I think you're not.

It all checks out.

This guy's life is falling
apart so he comes knocking

on the golden Carrington door.

Thank God I'm the gatekeeper.

On the rezoning proposal
for entrepreneur Jeff Colby

to build a music and arts
center on his vacant -acre lot

in Adams Park, how do you vote?

Nay.

What?

- Nay.
- WOMAN : Nay.

- MAN : Nay.
- WOMAN : Yea.

WOMAN : Nay.

MAN : Nay.

The measure is defeated.

CLERK: Next up is a vote on
the proposed redevelopment

of The Gulch in downtown Atlanta.

Hey, wait a second. This is insane.

The measure has been defeated,
Mr. Colby.

Please clear the area so we
can get to other business.

This was a slam dunk.

A gift to the city, to the community,

that won't cost anyone a dime.

How could you do this?

There's not a damn thing
wrong with this proposal

and you know it.

You are all failing
the people of Atlanta,

the people who need this project
the most, and-and for what?

Someone tell me a single benefit

of this project dying here today.

Mr. Colby.

(people murmuring)

Unbelievable.

(knocking on door)

- Hi.
- What do you want?

I'm... I'm just checking you're okay.

I'm not. No.

I know you don't want me here.

Which makes it that much easier for me

to disappear and go back to my life.

I really wish that you hadn't come here.

I had this crazy idea
that you would be the one

who immediately knew
that I was really Adam.

And I can't figure out why
you're so sure that I'm not.

Listen, I have already done this, Adam.

Or whatever your name really is.

Look at me closely. Please.
I think you know that I'm your son.

But for some strange reason, you...

you're scared of me.

Is it something I've done?

I am so sorry but you should go.

I need you to go.

(gasping)

Sorry to disturb you, sir,
but I thought you'd like to know

the results of the DNA test
as soon as they came in.

Of course. What do they say?

Well, at the risk of sounding like

a trashy talk show host, you, Adam,

are the son of Blake Carrington.

It's a match.

Yes. I knew it.

JENNINGS: Wonderful news.

I'm so happy for both of you.

- FALLON: Aw.
- (Blake chuckling)

Am I missing a love fest?

Be careful, Daddy,
I know that he won your heart,

but he might have just
picked your pocket.

Well, now, that's enough, Fallon.

'Cause the DNA results confirm it,
Adam is your brother.

Well, you don't actually think
I give a damn about that.

No. I've been there. Done that.

I am far more interested

in how your doctor son lost his license.

By stealing narcotics from his patients.

Fallon, please.

No, no, no, no, no. It gets much worse.

He then went to go work
at a veterinary clinic.

To help animals? Oh, no.

To steal more dr*gs.

Because he is an addict.

That-that can't be true.

SAM: It is, Blake. I know. It sucks.

Look, it kills me to come in here

and crush your dreams,
but I'm not about to let

this disgraced druggie come in
here and win you over in what,

less than a day,
only to hurt you in the future.

Is any of this true?

It is. I was fired

from a hospital and I went
to work at a vet's clinic.

- To get narcotics?
- Yes.

But not for me. For my mother.

She was in pain her whole life.

I did anything I could to help her.

I mean, I became
a doctor because of her.

Then she needed more,

and I was, I was a first-year resident.

I didn't have any money,
so I... I prescribed dr*gs

to my patients without them knowing,

and I went to the pharmacies
to pick them up myself.

That's why I lost my license.

And then when she overdosed... (exhales)

Look, I feel responsible for her death.

I enabled her addiction.

I just wanted to stop her pain.

I'm really sorry I didn't tell you.

Or you, Fallon.

BLAKE: I'm sorry, son.

What you've gone
through is unimaginable.

And partially my fault.

N-None of it's your fault.

I do understand what it's
like to live with an addict.

Steven has been struggling
for most of his life.

It may be helpful if you tell your story

to him when you meet him next week.

- I'm sorry. What?
- You're gonna meet Steven?

Yeah. We thought it would be nice, uh,

to connect with Steven,
but now I think it would be imperative.

In Paraguay?

I've made the arrangements
for the jet and the accommodation,

and no tents this time.

I think it's a terrible idea,

and you should absolutely not go.

Sam, I know that you
and Steven are having

a hard time right now,
but you wouldn't try

to stop his father and his brother

from spending time with him, would you?

I can think of a million reasons

why you shouldn't go to Paraguay.

- Such as...?
- Such as:

this is hurricane season, for one.

Anders?

Well, Paraguay is landlocked, sir.

- You're clear.
- No, not clear.

(stammers) They-they
still have heavy rain

and strong winds.

It's not ideal for traveling.

It's not safe.

You know what? Um, Adam.

I have been rude to you.

I have been disgustingly rude to you,

and I would like to
spend the next few weeks

making it up to my new brother.

You have a lifetime to do that.

We're going to Paraguay.
End of discussion.

You can't go to Paraguay.

You can't go.
Because Steven is not in Paraguay,

Steven is in Paris.

- And that's where we were.
- Seriously?

What?

With everything that Cristal
and I have been going through?

The three of you flitted off to
Paris for some shopping spree?

That's low, Fallon, even for you.

We didn't go on a shopping spree, Dad.

I went to...

We went to Paris to go...

to go find Steven.

Did you? Where is he?

He's in a mental hospital.

And he didn't want me to tell you that.

But there it is.

Welcome to the funhouse.

At the very least,
you should have told me immediately, and

the only reason why you did come
clean is because you got caught.

Well, this is not how I
wanted this to come out.

I don't know.
You just had so much tragedy

going on in your life lately,
with Mark and with the baby.

Oh, stop acting like you were trying

to protect me, 'cause you weren't.

You were just trying to avoid
your own feelings of guilt.

Because you failed Steven.

And you certainly failed me.

GEORGE: She did the right thing.

She was just dealing with her
own pain as best she could.

That's why she didn't tell you.

Believe me, I've dealt with the
same things in my family, and

I've made difficult decisions,
and you wanted to spare

your family the pain that
you've had to endure alone.

- (scoffs)
- Right?

Dad, you just got me back.

You don't want to lose another one.

Just need time to process all this.

And I think Adam should be
the one to help you with that.

I think you should stay.

What?

I promised my dad that
I would do my best

to protect him, but look what happened.

So, I think he needs you right
now more than he needs me.

Will you stay?

I'd be honored to.

Do you need a map to your room?

No.

I just wanted to apologize.

If I had known what the real deal was...

You would have done the same thing.

And you'd have been right.

I'm just happy everything's
out in the open.

It was really k*lling Sam.

Yeah, it was k*lling you, too.

- I saw it.
- I'm stronger than I look.

I don't think you are.

I mean, sure, you...
you look like this badass

that doesn't take crap from anyone,

but you care about your brother,

and you're allowed to feel
the pain over his choice

and your choice to go along with it.

Hmm?

I hope we're the kind of
family that kisses on the lips.

- We're so not.
- Oh.

Maybe we are now.

You know,
it's really easy to see why you're

the heart of this family.

The smartest, the most driven.

The one who can think ahead.

We're very alike, you and me.

We really are siblings.

Two of a kind.

Sweet dreams, sis.

Remember last year when I
voted to sell your company?

Those were the good ole days.

What are you doing here, Jeff?
It's really not a good time.

JEFF: Then let's make it better.

How about we celebrate
both of our losses? Here.

You may have screwed me over again,

but that doesn't mean
I'm letting you win.

And if you thought that I
would let you buy my land

to build your stadium,

then you've really
lost your Madoff touch.

Can someone tell me
what's going on here?

I tried to buy his land for our stadium.

I offered him plenty of money, but...

But I told your second
Cristal in command,

that it was never about that.

So I sold the land to DiFiore Exports

for half of what you offered.

They're an Italian-based company

with zero interest in getting involved

with the Carrington clan.

I guess that dooms the Atlantix.

Oh, well, that is one partnership
that I'm not sad to see fail.

That's the look I came to see.

Been a pleasure not doing
business with you, Blake.

Did...? What...?

Oh, what was I thinking
letting you handle this?

You should have come to me, Cristal.

Nobody knows Jeff like I do.

I would have thought of something.

- (door closes)
- Oh, now we're screwed.

Ay, no, mi amor.

We're not screwed. We're celebrating.

Adam coming back

and you building the Atlantix
stadium on Jeff's land.

Did you not hear what he said?!

He sold the land to another company!

- He thinks he did.
- Thanks to you.

And, Michael, don't worry.

Everything you pitched
Jeff about our plans

for the community will happen.

We'll make sure this is
a good project, too.

Whatever helps us sleep at night, right?

Exactly.

Would someone please
tell me what's going on?!

Michael will fill you in.

Uh, there's one more
thing I need to deal with.

But I stand for what I said.

We should trust family.

I'm sure you heard the news.

I just... came to say good night.

And I hope that someday,

you'll be able to accept me...

Mother.

♪ I've been waiting... ♪

Oh, there is just one thing
I wanted to get off my chest.

After my other mother d*ed,

I really wanted to meet my brother,
so I went to Paraguay.

What? You... met Steven?

I did. Such a kind soul.

In one of our conversations,
he told me the story

about how he found Hank,

and how you sent him to El Paso where

Adam had last been seen,
which I found odd,

because I've never been to Texas.

Well, that's because

the investigator that I hired said so.

He, um... well, he fooled me.

So you're just burning
those files for fun,

not covering your tracks, right?

Well, they're just old tax returns.

- I hate clutter.
- 'Cause the thing is,

Steven also told me that he saw
Hank's positive DNA results,

which couldn't have been real.

So when I was at the clinic

doing my DNA testing,
I did some digging.

- Do you know what this is?
- Of course I don't. Why would I?

Not only were Hank's
results not a match,

but they were signed for
by someone in the family.

Someone who clearly switched them.

Someone who is you.

Mother.

And I take it that's why you were
so against me in the first place.

Your real son.

To protect your lie?

No, I had no choice.

I was an outsider. I had nothing.

As despicable as it sounds,

I had to do something
to get my family back.

I am so... sorry, Adam.

Please tell me that you understand.

I-I do understand.

I-I want my family back, too.

But right now, I...

I just want a hug from my real mother.

♪ Free tonight ♪

♪ For you... ♪

Oh.

I know when you're telling the truth.

And right now,
I'm gonna tell you the truth, too.

Everything...

(groaning softly)

...is gonna be all right.

You know, the-the tricky thing
with addiction is that...

...it takes longer for the
body to accept the meds.

So, it's-it's a good thing I put in

twice the lethal dose of tranquilizers.

(whimpering)

Secrets and lies tear families apart...

Theresa.

(gasps)

I just hate that you weren't
honest with me sooner.

You had so many chances to come clean.

And you hurt Blake so badly,

and you were willing to do it again.

Well, now, what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna listen to my heart,

and forgive you.

Burn it.

It'll be our little secret.

And from this point forward,

it's me and you against the world.
