NLAKE:
Quickly, Michael, quickly. Unh!

You're gonna be all right, darling.
We'll get you out of there.

- Quickly.
- All right.

- Nefore the car comes over.
- Okay.

[GROANlNG]

Just a little more.
Come on, damn it, hurry.

That's it, good. Good.

All right.

Here. Let's get her out.
Let's get her clear of the car. Easy.

[MlCHAEL PANTlNG]

Easy. There.

Let's cover her up.

You're gonna be all right, darling.

Here. Here you go.

She's breathing.
She's alive, Mr. Carrington.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

[TlRES SCREECH NEARBY]

[CAR HORN HONKlNG]

Are you okay down there?
Anybody hurt?

We need an ambulance.

I've got a CN here.
I'll call the paramedics.

[SlGHS]

Everything is going to be all right.

Everything's going to be just fine.

You're going to be all right.

[AMBULANCE SlREN WAlLlNG]

They're taking her to X-ray
because she suffered head trauma.

They'll check her legs because
she was pinned under the car.

Nut will she be all right?
She's still not moving.

She's been unconscious
since the accident.

Nobody can tell you that until
after a doctor has read a CAT scan.

Now, please, Mr. Carrington,
the trauma centre is off limits.

WOMAN [ON PA]:
Dr. Kelly to OR.

Dr. Kelly to OR.

Give me the number
of Dr. Paul Gaffen, please.

It's an emergency.

[SlGHS]

I'd make that a short one
if I were you, Dex.

I have to go upstairs and change.

Not until you explain this to me.

Well, that's obviously
from Colbyco's attorneys

cancelling my contract with Lex-Dex.

- Talk to my attorney about it.
- I'll talk to you.

This breaking up of our company, it's
your little revenge against me, isn't it?

Revenge.
You are familiar with the word?

Oh, yes, it has crossed my lips
from time to time.

Nut why are you so angry, Dex?

Surely you didn't expect to get off
scot-free after trying to bail out Nlake.

Oh, forget about Nlake
for once in your life.

Don't you understand
that when you do something like this,

you're hurting your own company
and yourself?

Oh, Colbyco can take the loss.

As for me,
I'm immune to personal pain.

What about personal happiness?

You're not a happy woman, Alexis.

You think you have everything
in the world right now, but you don't.

You're missing two things.
One is love.

- Hmm. What an overused word.
- The other is passion.

You used to thrive on them.

We both used to.
Together, remember?

Oh, there are so many things
that I've forgotten about the two of us.

Sorry to disappoint you, Dex,
but it's not been difficult.

Look me in the eye and say that.

What's the matter, Alexis?

Afraid to face me?

I seem to be interrupting something.

Tell him to get out of here.

No, you're...

You're not interrupting anything.

I'd like you to leave, Dex, right now.
Leave.

Nen, I want you to speak
to the attorney tomorrow

and reinstate
the Lex-Dex Corporation.

Is that all it took,
a kiss from your cowboy?

Stay out of my personal life, Nen.
And stay out of my emotions.

Just notify Dex through his attorney
that I want the contract reinstated.

- Dad.
- Hello, Steven.

- You all right? Doesn't look so good.
- Just a scratch.

How's Krystle?

I don't know. I'm waiting for the
neurosurgeon. He's in with her now.

- Damn it, when is he gonna come out?
- Dad, take it easy, come on.

Come on, let's go. Let's sit down.

WOMAN [ON PA]:
Dr. Taylor, extension , please.

It was a miracle
that she got out of that wreck alive.

[SlGHS]

We were in the car,
going to the press conference.

Krystle was never more animated,
more confident.

Then all of a sudden, this man
pulled up beside and he yelled:

"m*rder*r. m*rder*r.
You k*lled my wife."

Then he...

He was trying to k*ll me,
and Krystle is suffering for it.

All right, Dad, listen.

It's not your fault
there's some madman out there

blaming you
for something you didn't do.

I know that.

I guess it's just that everything
is piling up on me all at once.

Steven, call the hotel for me,
will you?

See that Kristina's all right.
Explain to Jeanette what happened.

And tell her
I don't know how late I'm going to be.

All right, all right, you take it easy.

[SlGHS]

- Nlake?
- Yes, I'm here.

- You all right?
- Oh, yes, I'm fine.

What happened?

That man shouted something. He...

[SlGHS]

I can't remember.

It doesn't matter, darling.
Everything is fine.

The only thing that counts
is that you're going to be all right.

[PHONE RlNGS]

- Yes?
- Is this Nlake Carrington?

Yes, it is.

I'm Evelyn's husband.

Evelyn is the beautiful woman
you k*lled in the fire, damn you.

I am going to make you pay.

So help me God,
I am not through with you yet.

[KRYSTLE SlGHS]

- Who was that?
- Oh, nothing, nothing.

Hmm. I'm so tired.

Oh, darling, rest.
Close your eyes and rest.

Lieutenant, how long is it gonna be
before you find that man, Thorpe?

Well, we found his car abandoned
in Harmon Springs.

We can't find him, but we're trying.

Well, obviously
you're not trying hard enough.

Mr. Carrington,
I have an APN out on a hit-and-run.

All units have been alerted.
I just don't have anything yet.

Lieutenant, that man is still around.

Now, I don't know how
he found us here at this hospital,

but he just phoned me
a little while ago.

Said that he was gonna finish
what he started.

This crash,
this is not a hit-and-run accident.

It was premeditated.

Let me give you some advice, sir.

A lot of people don't
care for you much right now.

Thorpe is obviously one of them.

If he's still around...

Keep a low profile, huh? Real low.

For you own sake and your family's.

- Adam.
- What is it?

Did you bring me those papers
I asked for?

No, I didn't.

Nen, the next time
you want something from the office,

may I suggest
that you send a messenger?

The headline was perfect,
Mr. Eckland.

[DOOR OPENS]

Yes, yes, I know you don't approve,

but I haven't received your letter
of resignation yet, have l?

Ha, ha, well, if and when I do,
there is a gentleman from the Chronicle

who will be more than willing to
take over your job at double the salary.

Thank you. Goodbye.

- Trouble, Adam?
- Yes. It's Nen.

I am sick and tired
of taking orders from him.

Well, maybe he's just passing
on my orders.

You don't really believe that.

You don't trust him, do you?

Adam, listen to me.

I know how to handle Ben,
but I'm not sure that I trust him either.

Nut one thing I am sure of, darling.

That I love you and that
I'm so happy you're here for me now.

I'm your son. I don't think
you should expect anything less.

[SlGHS]

Steven's my son too,
but he's not here, is he?

Mother, I promise you,
I will always protect you.

And I will always be here for you.

You see,

I need you and your love
as much as you need me.

Mm.

Blake.

Adam, I wanna talk to your mother.

I'll see you at dinner, darling.

I know that this used to be your house,
but it isn't now.

I'd appreciate you having yourself
announced next time you barge in here.

Let's talk about this time.

You do know that Krystle
is in the hospital.

Yes, I heard. My sources tell me
that she's alive and doing quite well.

She's not doing quite well.

She's suffering
from a severe concussion.

And she barely escaped with her life
after that car crash.

And I blame it all on you.

[CHUCKLES]

Now that is insane.

I blame you
and that damned newspaper.

I didn't start that fire, Blake.

No, but you did start a barrage
of character assassination

that nearly ended in m*rder.

Well, this time,
it might end in m*rder.

What are you talking about?

Now, I can take anything
that you can hand out, anything.

Nut if Krystle
doesn't come through this,

I'm going to finish
what she stopped me from doing.

I am going to k*ll you.

Miss Deveraux.
My name's Tilden, Gary Tilden.

How do you do? What is it?
I'm in a terrible hurry.

And I am here to offer you
the musical deal of the decade.

What?

I want you to record
for a company I represent.

We want you to make videos using that
fabulous voice and persona of yours.

I've just flown in from Los Angeles
to visit my daughter.

She's in the hospital.

So I really don't have time
for this right now.

Ah. Nut you are interested?

Call me later and we'll discuss it.

MAN: You get a good deal
on that rental car?

Till the boss's gets out of the shop,
yeah.

Has Mr. Carrington
phoned about when to pick him up?

- He said for you to be at his office at .
- Thanks.

Uh, excuse me,
I'm waiting for a limousine.

I wonder if that chauffeur
was asking for me.

Oh, no, Mr. Tilden.

Uh, he's Mr. Carrington's
personal driver.

I see.

Thanks.

You mind telling me what the hell
you're doing playing dress-up

in a chauffeur's uniform
and living in the servants' quarters?

Well, it's the way I've been getting
my kicks lately, Tilden.

Ha-ha-ha,
tired of counting your money?

Well, let's say I'm giving my attentions
to, uh, other matters.

- Like?
- Ah. That is my business.

Hmm.

Well, then let me guess.

Nlake Carrington.

Fallon Carrington.

Put them both together, they spell...

Humiliation.

[TlLDEN CHUCKLES]

Remember the b*ating you took

for having had an affair
with the boss's daughter?

So you're here to humiliate
Nlake Carrington now, right, Michael?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, you seem to have all the answers.
You tell me.

How am I going to humiliate him?

Well, now, let me see.

Oh.
Carrington has another daughter.

You might wind up bedding her down
and then dropping her,

and making sure
her father knows all about it.

[CHUCKLES]

That's good. Not bad.
I may even try that, Gary.

Except it would screw up
any business deal

that we might wanna make
with Carrington.

What business deal?

I have varied interests, Michael.
You know that.

Well, just as long
as they don't include me.

You and l, we're through.

I've had it with you
and your filthy money.

I think it was that same filthy money

that helped set you up in New Orleans
not but five short years ago.

Nut, no, I don't think
that you would have forgotten that.

I mean, that would be stupid.
That would be very, very stupid.

[CHUCKLES]

[SlGHS]

Get out of here, Tilden.

Oh, Michael.

Ahem, I'd watch out
for that young Carrington girl.

She's beautiful. Very beautiful.

And if you end up really falling in love
with her, well, where's your revenge?

Don't you worry about that.

I'm through falling in love
with Carrington women.

Now get the hell out.

I'm sorry. I was trying to be quiet
so I wouldn't wake you.

Well, that's all right.

- Oh, look at all the balloons.
- Yeah, they're from Nlake.

They're to celebrate
your fantastic recovery.

And you're getting out of here
later today.

I bet you're really sad about that.

Well, it has been the longest week
of my life.

- Hi, Sammy Jo.
SAMMY JO: Hello.

- Hi, darling.
- I should be getting back to Delta Rho.

See you both.

- Good morning, darling. All set?
- Hmm.

Oh, you're early.
They won't let me leave for hours.

Well, in that case, there's no point
in my hanging around here. I'll go.

Oh, no, you don't.

[LAUGHS]

[SlGHS]

Thank you for the balloons.

Oh, I'm glad you like them.

- I love them.
- You know what we're gonna do?

We're gonna take them downstairs
with us when we go.

And we're gonna release them
and let them fly to the sky.

[LAUGHS]

Have you heard anything
about Mr. Thorpe yet?

I just talked to the police about him.

They think that he's gone back to
his hometown, somewhere in the East.

And they're gonna pick him up for
questioning as soon as he shows up.

If he shows up there.

Well, let's talk about us.

Now, you are gonna be leaving here
today. Ny the end of the week--

Nlake, they postponed the press
conference until tomorrow,

and I wanna be there with you.

Well, if the doctor says it's all right
and if you feel up to it, sure.

I'll be fine.

All right, we'll see.

Nut by the end of the week,
I am gonna take you on a jeep ride,

and I'm going
to show you something.

Really? What?

- Our future.
- Our future.

Hmm. Just the way you say that,
it sounds good.

It is good.

It's going to be wonderful.

"Nlake Carrington's future,
Denver or oblivion?"

- What do you think?
- Uh...

Ahem, Mrs. Colby, it seems to me
you're putting the future

before the present.

First thing is to give
the La Mirage story top coverage

until Mr. Carrington
is brought to trial.

That is what you want, isn't it?

Yes.
He had a lot to gain from that fire.

I want the city desk to keep focusing
on the possibility of arson.

Mr. Baines,
I want you to write an editorial

insisting that the grand jury indict
Nlake Carrington for arson and m*rder.

I'm afraid that the DA's office
would have to handle that.

And that we still need
some proof of his motive.

Oh, you'll have your proof.

From someone who's been unwilling
to come forward because of fear.

Well, I think
$ , should quash that fear.

That is the reward that the Mirror
is going to offer

for information leading
to the arrest of the arsonist.

Put that on the front page.

You've got it, Mrs. Colby.

[CHUCKLES]

Should be worth every penny.

I can hardly wait to see Kristina.

What is it, darling? Are you all right?

Oh, I'm fine.

You know you could have stayed
in the hospital another day or two.

I was just feeling a little woozy.

And besides,
you owe me a jeep ride.

That's right, so I do.

A dollar for your thoughts.

- It used to be a penny.
- Hmm, call it inflation.

[CHUCKLES]

And you look like you're into some
pretty heavy thinking right now.

I was just thinking
how good we are together.

And how I've never been happier
with anyone, ever.

I just kind of wish it could--

It could always be like that with us,
you know?

[SlGHS]

Sammy Jo,
what I know is that right now

I'm not ready
for any kind of involvement.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, you sure seem to be involved
when you begin to undress me.

And kiss me and make me crazy.

Yeah, well, that was different.

- Just plain sex.
- No, that's not what I mean.

Whatever you mean,
it's not really important.

Nesides, I've got other things in life
to think about.

Like running my stables.

And right now
I've got some business to attend to.

In the middle of the night?
Hmm? Hmm?

I have to make some calls overseas.

To Warsaw and Cairo.

I've gotta find some new studs
for my mares.

- Warsaw?
- Mm-hm.

I guess you speak perfect Polish
now, huh?

No, but my Egyptian
sure knocks their socks off.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, can't it wait till morning?
Hmm? Please.

No. No, sorry, it can't.

Ny the way, did you tell your mother
about that horse I wanna give her?

No. Uh, I'm sorry,
it slipped my mind.

You know, sometimes I get the feeling
that you're ashamed of me, Clay.

Come on, Sammy Jo.

Yes, I'd like to place two
overseas calls.

- I'll hold.
- Oh.

Get dressed and go, Clay.

You and I are both very rich.
The only difference is I'm not idle.

[CHUCKLES]

NLAKE:
You must know that the Denver Mirror

is carrying on a campaign against me.

Accusing me
of some very serious crimes.

Namely arson and m*rder.

[ALL MURMURlNG]

Nefore this once-great newspaper tries
to indict me and convict me,

in print if not in fact,

I would like the people of Denver
to know my side of the story.

[ALL MURMURlNG]

You weren't invited here, Alexis.

This is a press conference, isn't it?

And since I own the Mirror,
I am the press.

Shall we continue?

Thank you.

Isn't it true
that at the time of the La Mirage fire--

And that is what we're here
to talk about.

--your financial empire
was on the brink of bankruptcy?

I've been through the best of times
and the worst of times, Mr. Wales.

The past two months
have not been the best.

Isn't it also true
that the insurance company

has refused to pay off,
Mr. Carrington?

Yes, it is true, so far.

[REPORTERS MURMURlNG]

Mr. Wales, three of my children were
at the hotel on the night of the fire.

Now, do you honestly think that I would
jeopardise the lives of my children,

my own flesh and blood,
for any amount of money?

I'm certain that when the investigating
committee finishes its investigation,

it will tell us clearly
what it was that caused that fire.

Mr. Carrington, has the insurance
company reimbursed you

for any damages to date?

I've already stated that they haven't.

Why not? Does that mean
that arson has not been ruled out?

It means that the cause of the fire
has not yet been determined.

"Not yet been determined." I see.

Tell me, Mr. Carrington,
what do you intend to do

now that you're no longer running
Denver-Carrington?

I'm about to form a new company
called Carrington Ventures.

My mother left me some land
in her will years ago.

We're gonna develop that property
and some others as well.

I see, and where do you intend to
raise the capital for this new venture?

I believe that my reputation
as a good businessman

will attract the right investors.

Hmm.

What about Colbyco?

Don't you think
that you should pay off

the $ million debt
that you owe to them

before starting Carrington Ventures?

Colbyco will be paid in full.

Colbyco better be paid.

Otherwise its owner
will confiscate your property

and attach it to her holdings.

I never thought I'd say this,
Mr. Wales,

but I'd like you to call me
at my office in the morning.

Carrington Ventures.

I wonder what your father
meant by that.

I don't know.

There's one thing that I know,
Steven.

I think there's something
that you want to tell me.

Yes, there is.

I'm moving out of the house
and setting up an apartment in town.

And I'm taking Danny with me.

Oh, Steven, no.
Look, if it's Nen, I'll tell him to leave.

It's not Nen, it's me.
It's something I have to do.

Huh. Something you have to do?

Dragging a little boy away
from his security?

From everything
the rest of the world would envy?

Mother, you forgot one key thing.

- Love.
- Love.

I love Danny, you know that.
And I'm not going to lose both of you.

You're not losing us, Mother.
We're just moving to another place.

This is one of your father's
insidious little plots, isn't it?

This is his way of punishing me
because I took over this house.

Well, it's your house too,
and Danny's.

No, it's not mine anymore, Mother.

Tell me the truth.

Do you really want Danny
and me to stay

or are you just afraid of being alone?

- I'm not afraid of anything, Steven.
- Good.

Then there's no problem.

My secretary told me you called
and said you had good news for me.

Yeah.
You wanna join me in a drink?

No. No, let's just hear the news.

Alexis...

Well, she's a brilliant woman, but
as we both know, she isn't always right.

So?

Well, she was wrong
in cancelling a contract

that was in the best interests not only
of Lex-Dex, but Colbyco as well.

How do you figure that?

Well, because it was out of pique
towards you,

not rational business thinking.

What part do you have
in any of this?

Well, I've talked her into allowing me
to reinstate the contract.

I see.

[SlGHS]

Well, I'm sure that you'll benefit from it
as much as Alexis and I will.

Not so fast.
There's a condition that goes with this.

I want you to stay completely
clear of Alexis,

or this time, I'll k*ll the deal myself.

You do that
and you may end up back in Australia

with that pretty face a lot less pretty.

Uh, Nob, can I call you back
in a little while?

Right, thank you.

Dominique.

- Oh, it's so good to see you.
- Nlake.

You poor thing,
spending all your time in the hospital.

- How is Jackie anyway?
- She's coming along. She's very brave.

- What about the burns?
- Well, they're healing nicely.

- Good, wonderful.
- Nlake, let's sit down, please.

Now that you've settled in
to your new offices,

[DOMlNlQUE SlGHS]

Iet's talk a little business.

I sold Titania Records
to Zach Powers for $ million.

I want to invest that
in Carrington Ventures.

Fifty million. Certified cheque.

You call this a little business?

Well, it's just a little cheque.
It's only -by- inches.

Dominique, I can't do this.
I can't let you take that kind of a risk.

Nlake, someone said to me
a long time ago:

"No risk, no adventure and no fun."

You think that's gonna be fun?

I know this is gonna be fun,
because I know you.

And I know whatever you have
planned for Alexis, she deserves it.

Nesides, what's family for?

Family is for inviting one another
to dinner, for sharing holidays.

Not for giving charity.

Charity? This is business.

If when you started Denver-Carrington,
someone came to you

and offered you million,
what would you have said?

I'd have called
the nearest psychiatrist.

Nut you would have made
that person a billionaire.

You wouldn't deny me that,
would you?

Would you?

Your decorators did quite a job,
Alexis.

Dramatic, exciting, you.

Don't get too comfortable.

If you're lost,
I'll draw you a map to your room.

You look ravishing tonight, Alexis.

- Look, I'm tired. I've had a hard day.
- Alexis.

NLAKE:
My, my, what a pretty sight.

The scorpion and the cobra.

How dare you barge into my house?
I shall dismiss the butler who let you in.

You do that, and I'll hire him back
when I take over this house again.

[SCOFFS]

I'll also have this room put back
the way it was, and fumigated.

In the meantime, this is yours.

Is that right, $ million?

So you paid your debt.

Oh, no. No, not yet.

My next repayment to you is
for taking this house,

hurting my wife
and blackening my name.

You see, Alexis,
I've been keeping an account book,

and I'm not stopping until
I pay you back in full.

Have a pleasant evening.

What are you gonna do?

[SlGHS]

Get me the district attorney's office.

KRYSTLE:
Ah, Nlake, it's beautiful here.

It's further out than I thought.

NLAKE: Yeah, the roads
aren't the best either, I know.

Nut believe me,
it's gonna be worth it.

Here it is.

My mother left it to me in her will.

As far as the eye can see.

I've always loved it here.

Never did anything with it.

Nut there's something
about this place.

I can feel it in the dirt.

You seem happy, Nlake.

Happier than
I've seen you in a long time.

I am, because this could be
the biggest thing we have ever done.

I didn't say anything about it
at the press conference,

but we could recoup everything
in just one toss of the dice.

We'll know about it soon.

Nut for now, it's our secret, hmm?

All right, Mama.
I'm here and I'm back.

I'm finally gonna do something
with this place.

You always said there was magic in it.
Well, I'm going to find it.

[BLAKE'S VOlCE ECHOES]

Jake Dunham was a colleague
of yours, wasn't he?

FERGUSON:
Thank you. That's right, Mrs. Colby.

Then you do remember that
he was the assistant district attorney

who subpoenaed me from Acapulco
several years ago

to testify against Nlake Carrington.

- The Ted Dinard case.
- That's right.

[SlGHS]

Mrs. Colby,
I was born and raised in these parts.

And I always wondered what the inside
of this mansion was like.

[CHUCKLES]

Now that I see it, I'm impressed.

Nut I would like to know the reason
for your invitation and this meeting.

I want your office to help me
in my crusade

against the crimes of Nlake Carrington,
arson and m*rder.

I see. You wanna collect your marker
from Jake Dunham.

Well, that isn't the way I do business,
Mrs. Colby.

- That isn't the way our office operates.
- Really?

Well, in that case, you are forcing me
into a rather awkward situation.

That being exactly what?

That if you don't do your job,

my newspaper
is going to have to deal with it.

Deal with it? In what way?

Make public your refusal
to handle a capital case.

More champagne?

[SCOFFS]

No, thank you.

Mrs. Colby, the DA's office doesn't
work on a case

until they have hard evidence.

You don't have any.

What I do have, Mr. Ferguson,
is the truth,

which can sometimes
be stranger than fiction,

but in this case is going
to be a very well-publicised truth.

Well, hurry home, darling.
Jeanette just left.

And I know Kristina would like
to see you before she goes to sleep.

I love you too. Nye-bye.

Here we go. There we go.

Oh.

Lie down. That's okay.
Just for a minute.

Your daddy's coming home soon.

[KRlSTlNA CRYlNG]

Here you go. Your daddy's
coming home, sweetheart.

[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR]

Just a minute, baby.

Close it.

Close it.

Move.

And don't call out
or I'll k*ll you faster than planned.

Get away from that door.

What do you want?

Your husband m*rder*d my wife.

Now he's gonna come here
and find his wife dead.

- Mr. Thorpe, please--
- Please?

Please what, let you live?

My Evelyn is dead.
Why should you live? Why?

[KRlSTlNA CRlES]

Don't move.

It's my baby.
I just wanna see if she's all right.

Don't make me say it again.

Or I will fire
and you'll be dead just like my Evelyn.

[GASPS]

Thank you.

Looks like you saved my life again.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, not quite, but, uh, I am
at your service, mademoiselle.

Anytime.

You could have called a handyman
to fix that.

I know,
but it's late and I was in a hurry.

They're not as swift around here
as they were at Denver-Carrington.

- I'll get back to typing, if you don't mind.
- What if I said I did?

- Amanda, you working late tonight?
- Yes, finishing up a report.

And I'm waiting for Steven.

He's taking me back to the apartment
to have dinner with Danny.

I'm ready to leave, Michael.

Good night, darling.

Miss Carrington.

She's asleep now.

- Can't I just see her for a minute?
- No.

Get me some water.

[g*n CLlCKS]

- Mr. Thorpe.
- What?

Do you have any children?

Yes. One.

A girl?

A boy.

What's his name?

Greg.

His name was Greg. We lost him.

I'm sorry.

He was, uh, years old
when he got very sick.

Ahem, and left us.

Evelyn, she was
the strong one. She...

[SlGHS]

Her heart was breaking.

Whenever I'd break down
and cry about the boy,

she said,
"At least we had him for a little while.

And you and I have each other
and always will."

Nut your husband took care of that,
didn't he?

I swear to you
on everything sacred to me,

my husband
had nothing to do with that fire.

Oh, please, believe me.

I believe what I know.

He k*lled her.

NLAKE:
I'm waiting for an explanation.

It bothered you when you saw me
in the office with Amanda tonight.

- Obviously it bothered you a lot.
- You're damn right, it did.

Culhane, I'm very grateful to you
for what you did for my wife,

what you did for my daughter.

But if I open a door, any door,

and I see you
within feet of my daughter,

I'm gonna see to it
that you get booted out of Denver.

And that you stay out this time.

What you're thinking of doing
isn't gonna bring your wife back.

I know that if she were here, she'd say,
"Philip, this is wrong."

How did you know?

She always called me Philip.

Never Phil.

From the day we met till that night
of the fire, it was Philip, Philip.

How did you know?
You never knew her.

And if you had, what would
she have meant to you, a Carrington?

Who were we to you?

Couple of people
you couldn't have cared less about.

Except for right now.

You care about me.

About what I have to do.

Mr. Thorpe,
you don't have to do this.

I know how much you
and your wife loved each other.

Would she want you to--?

To destroy yourself
by hurting someone else?

I don't think so.

[SOBBlNG]

[DOOR OPENS]

It's all right.

Get me the police.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

What do you want?

I came by to see Danny, but they
told me he's moved out with Steven.

That's right, he's gone.

Well, where did they move to,
Alexis?

I don't know. You'll have to ask Steven.
I don't give out give out addresses.

In case you've forgotten,
Danny is my son.

Yes, I know, poor little thing.

That's a cross he'll just have to bear.
Excuse me.

I can't really blame Steven for
moving out on you and taking Danny.

At least I know you won't be able
to contaminate my child

with your conniving and your lying
and your dirty ways.

[LAUGHS]

"Dirt" seems to be the big word
in your vocabulary, Sammy Jo.

You grew up on the road
with racing cars and dirt.

You modelled for all those
dirty magazines. You're covered in it.

If that were true,
all I would need is a bath.

Nut with your track record, Alexis,

what you need to do is to stand naked
in a rainstorm for a week.

[SCOFFS]

You trashy little tramp.

[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR]

We're gonna have to make sure
that you take it easy.

Oh, come in, Lieutenant Calder.
We just had two of your men here.

I'm sorry to bother you,
Mr. Carrington.

We need you at headquarters
to answer a few questions.

Well, if it's about that episode with
Mr. Thorpe, can't we talk right here?

No, no, it's not about Mr. Thorpe.

The DA's office thinks the fire
at La Mirage was arson.

They'd like to talk to you
about your part in it.
