07x25 - The Sublet

[bunniefuu]

Ijust phoned the police again,
they're on their way.

How could Sarah have done this?
How?

- Oh, Nlake, why didn't I listen to you?
- Darling--

I should've realised
what was happening.

I shouldn't have let her
spend so much time with Kristina.

Krystle, listen to me.

Now, if it weren't for Sarah,
Kristina wouldn't be alive today.

How could you have possibly known
she was gonna do a thing like this?

- Did it ever cross your mind?
- No. No, of course not.

Well, then I don't wanna hear
anything more about blame.

It's happened, we'll find them,

and Kristina will be back with us
very soon.

Yes, yes, she'll be back with us,

and she'll be unharmed too.
You'll see.

We checked her room.

We know that Sarah has taken
Kristina's medicine with her.

- We know that, don't we?
- Yes.

- And she loves Kristina, we know that.
- Yes, she does.

Then she's not gonna harm her.

- Excuse me, sir.
BLAKE: Yes?

- Sergeant Nenson here to see you.
- Oh, yes. Ask him in, please.

Mrs. Carrington. Mr. Carrington.

I'm afraid the information
I have so far is very sketchy.

I'd appreciate it if you could both
fill me in on exactly what happened.

Well, our daughter is missing.
She's gone.

- Kidnapped, you think?
- Yes.

The child's name?

Kristina. She's years old.

I know we're talking about the little girl
who had the heart transplant recently.

Yes, that's right, we are.

The name of the alleged kidnapper?

Sarah Curtis.

Isn't she the mother of the girl whose
heart was used in the transplant?

Yes, she is, sergeant.

And that child's name was...?

SARAH:
"Cathy."

See? I sewed her name
across Raggedy Ann's apron.

So now we have to call her Cathy,
not Ann anymore. Okay, sweetheart?

I don't care.

What do you mean you don't care?

You've always loved her.
She's always been your favourite.

Not anymore, she's different.

Nut you still love her,
don't you, Cathy?

I'm not Cathy, I'm Kristina.

Yes.

Yes, of course you are.

This says "Cathy."

- You look pale.
- Do l?

Then maybe you should send me
on a business trip to Tahiti, Mother.

Maybe I could buy Moorea
or Nora Nora for Colbyco.

- I do the shopping in this family, Adam.
- Heh.

Now, I want you to countersign that.

With this I could buy Moorea
and Nora Nora.

What I want to buy, Adam,
is your vow of secrecy.

That cheque is to buy stock
in Trouville lndustries.

To start a takeover masterminded by,
let me guess, Dirk Maurier.

That's right.

And you must understand
that if word gets out,

it could drive the price
of the stock up.

Which means
the timing is everything.

And if there's one thing Maurier
is a master of, it's timing. I know that.

I also know the man is a monster.

So was Attila the Hun,
and he ruled half of Europe.

Mother, don't go through
with this deal, please.

Why not?

Adam, I asked you
why shouldn't I go through with this?

ADAM:
I can't be specific.

Do you have negative instincts
about Maurier?

Yes.

I always have had.

Well, then forget them
and sign the cheque.

Now, Maurier is going to make
Colbyco a great deal of money.

And Trouville lndustries is going
to give us the clout on the East Coast

that I've always wanted.

What if I said I still disapprove?

Then I'd have to remind you, Adam,
that I make the decisions around here.

I always have, and I always will.

Adam, your hand's shaking.
What's wrong with you?

Have you been drinking again?
You promised--

No, I've stopped all that.

Word of honour.

[lNTERCOM BUZZES]

What is it?

PAULA [OVER lNTERCOM]:
You have a call.

Who is it from?

He wouldn't say.

Just that it concerns a mutual
acquaintance by the name of Torrance.

I'll take it. Thank you, Paula.

McVane, I told you never to call me
at my office.

I wanna see you in my apartment
in half an hour.

I'm running out of patience with you.

I have things to do.

The only thing you have to do
is get right over here.

Or would you rather I come to Colbyco
and pay you a visit?

Where is the information
we've been talking about?

I don't have anything
to pass on to you yet.

You don't even know whether or not
Alexis made her first move?

There's nothing to report,
and that's the truth.

Do you always sweat like that
when you tell the truth?

It's very warm in here.

There's nothing new. I swear it.

Now, let me tell you something,
Mr. Torrance,

the minute I catch you lying,
and I will,

this Adam Carrington charade of yours
is gonna come to an abrupt end.

I can't do this to her, McVane.
Don't you understand?

I can't betray my mother.

Why not? Necause you love her?

Yes, I do.

Well, I loved her once
and she betrayed me.

Nesides, aren't you a bit confused?

Alexis Carrington Colby
is not your mother.

Now, what do you know?

Trouville lndustries.

What about Trouville lndustries?

There's a deal in the works
with Dirk Maurier.

Go on.

- Dominique.
- Nick, hello.

Well, it's been a long time.

Three months to the day, in fact.
Remember?

Out in the field when you gave me
that quick brush-off? Ha, ha.

- I was in a hurry.
NlCK: You certainly were.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

I'm sorry about that, Nick.
As a matter of fact, I'm in a hurry now.

I just finished a meeting here
because I'm rushing off to another.

Can't you cancel it?
I'd love to take you to dinner.

Nick,
it is the middle of the afternoon.

Anyway, I already have
a dinner date for tonight.

Well, that's easy enough,
just cancel that one too.

Just pick up one of those phones
and say:

"Look, I'm sorry about tonight
but Nick Kimball is taking me

to the Saint-Malo on Nob Hill,
where he's already pre-ordered

my favourite French entree,
cassoulet parisien. "

Uh-huh.

The last time I heard, both Nob Hill
and Saint-Malo were in San Francisco.

They still are.

[CHUCKLES]

Thank you.

You mind if I ask you
what's on your mind right now?

I was just thinking about
the last time we had dinner together.

We were in your Jeep.

You took me to a little roadside dive.
We ate hamburgers and french fries.

[LAUGHS]

Yes. Well, I guess
I've gotten lucky since then.

Two new wells have come in.
There was Dominique ,

now there's Ruth and Octavia .

Ruth. That is your mother's name,
isn't it?

That's right.
And Octavia's my little sister.

They must be very proud of you.

They are.

Now the question is,
what about you?

I'm very happy for you.

- Leasing a private jet--
NlCK: Well, just for a day.

Nut it's a very special day

because I'm with
a very special person.

Nick, something about you
has changed.

[LAUGHS]

Are you actually gonna tell me
that I'm not the arrogant,

overconfident, rude guy
you once said I was?

No, because you were then.

And now?

I can't quite put my finger on it.

Nut I do my best character analysis
after a big meal.

Incidentally,

how did you learn that my favourite
food is cassoulet parisien?

I'll never tell.

[CHUCKLES]

Is there anything I can do?

Thank you, Dana. Nothing.

Blake,
I came here as soon as I heard.

- Dex is on his way.
- Good. Thank you.

I'm so sorry.
But Kristina will be found, I know it.

I need to hear that. So does Krystle.

Clay was out in the field,
so I couldn't reach him for you,

but I'm sure he'll call here
as soon as he hears what's happened.

Mr. Carrington, Lieutenant Nenson
is waiting to see you in the library.

Oh, yes. Let Mrs. Carrington know,
will you, please, Albert?

- lmmediately.
- Excuse me.

NENSON: We're covering the airport,
the bus stations

and the train terminal, Mr. Carrington.
Plus roadblocks, of course.

- Nut it's been hours.
- Krystle, darling.

That's all right.

I know exactly how you feel,
Mrs. Carrington. I have children too.

All I can tell you is that
an all-points bulletin is out

for Mrs. Curtis and your daughter,
and all possible steps are being taken.

Thank you, sarge.

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

- We'll be in touch.
NLAKE: Mm-hm.

- Nlake?
- Yes, Dex.

About Wyoming,
I've checked with my father.

There's no indication of Sarah
and Kristina having been there yet.

That rules out
one more place they can be.

Krystle.

I've known Sarah a long time.

She wouldn't hurt Kristina.
She's incapable of hurting anyone.

- Thank you, Dex.
- That's very reassuring.

We appreciate your help.
Thanks for coming by.

Well, if there's any other news,
I'll let you know.

Blake, where is she? Where is she?

Darling, we are doing everything
we possibly can.

- I want her home.
- I know.

I know.

Nlake, I just got back from the Mirror.
Is there any word on Kristina yet?

No, no. Nothing yet.

I want you to know that we're printing
a special edition of the paper tomorrow

with a picture of Sarah Curtis
and Kristina on the front page.

Good. Good. Very good.

And we're offering a reward for any
information to do with the kidnapping.

I can't thank you enough, Alexis.

Oh, Nlake.
Nlake, you don't have to thank me.

We've always done everything that we
could for our children, we always will.

That's our bond.

- [OVER PHONE] And Blake?
- Yes?

I spoke to the people at KBEX.

They want to send a news crew
to the house tonight

to do an appeal with Krystle.

If there's anybody
that can get to Sarah Curtis it's Krystle.

You've got to make her do that appeal,
Nlake.

You're very tired, aren't you,
sweetheart?

Yes, but...

Yes, but what, honey?

I want my mommy.

Of course you do. Of course.
And she's right here.

Your mommy's right here, Cathy.

Sarah,

if you're out there watching,
I beg you,

bring Kristina back.

I know how much you love her,

but you know how fragile
and delicate her health is.

Her life could be in danger.

She needs to be home with us.

Mommy?

KRYSTLE [ON TV] : We can give her
the care that she needs.

Mommy.

KRYSTLE: Sarah, I know
how much pain you've suffered,

and Blake and I wanna help you--

I hear my mommy.

Oh, honey, sweetheart,
you're only dreaming. That's all.

There's nobody here but the two of us.
See?

- I heard her.
- Oh, it was a dream, that's all.

Nut now that you're awake,
I have dinner ready. And ice cream.

I'm not hungry.

You don't wanna eat it now, is that it?
That's all right, you can eat it later.

But it is time for your medicine.

Don't be frightened, sweetheart.

We're together
and everything's gonna be fine,

but only if you take your medicine.

Cathy.

Cathy, why don't you listen
to me anymore?

- Hello, Steven.
- Sammy Jo, hi.

- Did you just get here?
- I got here a while ago.

I wanted to see Krystle and Blake.

How've you been?

Okay.

Are you staying here at the house?

No, I'm back at my apartment.

I haven't made any plans yet
about anything.

Hmm.

How's Danny?

Well, he heard me talking
on the phone about Kristina,

and he started to cry.

I think that was the final straw.

He still doesn't know why you left.

I tried to explain.

I know. But he thinks it's all his fault.

I'll have another talk with him.

Thanks for telling me about this.

Oh, Sammy Jo,
you haven't seen Adam, have you?

No, I haven't. Isn't he at the office?

No. I phoned. His secretary said he ran
out in a rush and he hasn't come back.

- Oh, my God, I hope he--
- What?

That he hasn't heard about Kristina.

I mean,
he's very close to the edge already.

To Adam Carrington, our benefactor.

- Ha, ha.
- When they write my biography,

this particular chapter
may go something like this:

"After he realised
what Mrs. Colby was up to,

Congressman McVane made certain

that the president
of Trouville lndustries announced:

'There is no takeover bid."'

"And immediately
after the announcement,

the price plunged and
Alexis Colby was out a king's ransom."

- Ha, ha.
- And we made a bloody fortune.

- Mm.
- Ha, ha. Oh. Oh.

I can't wait to see the look
on Alexis' face

when she realises she's been taken.

[BOTH LAUGH]

You know something?

Revenge is almost as good as sex.

[BOTH LAUGHlNG]

In fact, in this case it's even better.

[KNOCKlNG]

The Scotch you ordered,
Mr. Carrington.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

You're my son. I love you.

ALEXlS:
You're my son. I love you.

You're my son. I love you.

How can you stand
to live with yourself?

So you understand, Mr. Carrington,
that time is of the essence.

Yes, I understand, Dr. Chadway.

I wish I could paint you
a more optimistic picture but I can't.

Yes. Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Good night.

What did he say?

Oh, he, uh...

He just wanted to make sure
we would keep in touch with him.

What else?

- That's basically it.
- Blake, I wanna know what he said.

- Darling--
- Please.

He's worried

that if for some reason
Kristina doesn't get her medicine,

she could be in danger.

What kind of danger?

Her lungs can fill up with fluid.

Now, it may be gradual,
but it's still very, very serious.

Oh, my God.

Sarah did take the medicine.

She has to be giving it to her,
she has to be.

Of course, I'm sure she is.

She is, I know it.

Oh, good, sweetheart, you're awake.

Now, you really must
take your medicine.

I wanna go home.

[KRlSTlNA COUGHS]

Oh, and we will very soon.

And we'll have fun like we always do.

And you can ride your little pony

and feed your little birds
that you love so much.

Nut first
you must take your medicine.

[COUGHlNG]

Oh, my God. What is it?
What is it, my darling? What is it?

Oh, my God,
please don't let anything happen to her.

Please. Please. My God, please.

CASSlUS:
What can I do for you?

I wanna fight somebody.

Just like that, huh?

You pick him out, I'll take him on.

Maybe what you should fight, son,
is that booze that you been guzzling.

What is your name, sir?

CASSlUS: "Sir"?
NOXERS: Ha-ha-ha.

That's a first around here.

- They call me Cassius.
- As in "Muhammad Ali," right?

Well... Well, you see, Cassius,
I'm a student of boxing.

You take your heavyweights,
Carnera and Schmeling,

Joe Louis and Marciano,
now, those guys--

Look, son, l...

This is a gym, not a classroom.
I got a business to run here.

"Nusiness" is just another word
for cash, right?

- Well...
NOXER : Hey, look at that.

ADAM:
See...

- I'm willing to pay to fight.
NOXER : That's a lot of bread.

So who wants to go
a few rounds with me? Hmm?

BOXER :
I'll take him.

Come on, you're in no condition.
You looking to get k*lled?

That's my problem, isn't it, Cassius?

Anybody here

who thinks he can take me on
and end up standing, how about it?!

CASSlUS: Okay, just put that money
away and get out of here.

You've come to the wrong place.
Now move it.

I was in there. I heard you.
You still wanna fight?

- You're damn right I do.
- What's in it for me?

Let's wait and see
which one of us wins,

because let's face it,

one of us is gonna get the hell
beaten out of him. Isn't he?

[BOTH GRUNTlNG]

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on.

- Good evening, Mr. Carrington.
- Good evening.

Oh, have you seen Mrs. Carrington?

I saw her go into Mrs. Curtis' room
just a few minutes ago.

Thank you.

Krystle?

- Darling, what are you doing?
- I'm trying to find something.

Anything that might tell me
where she's taken Kristina.

A flight number, a phone number.

- The police already searched this room.
- They didn't find anything.

Nlake, I have to do something.
I can't just sit here.

I'm so frightened for her.

So am l, but we have to hang on.
We have to be strong.

We have to help each other
pull through this.

That's all we can do right now.

Don't you see that...?

SARAH [SlNGlNG]:
Close your eyes and sleep tight

And dream lovely dreams

And know day and night

I will always be here

Do you remember when
I used to sing that to you back home?

In a few days
we'll be back at the ranch, Cathy.

Nut we'll never be
in that station waggon again.

We'll never let that other car
hurt us again.

We'll be safe and happy.

You'll see.

[SlNGlNG]
I will always be close

To my beautiful child

I will always be close

To my beautiful child

- Fantastic. Ha, ha.
- And amazing.

We are the only patrons
in this entire restaurant.

- Yes.
- I'm very impressed.

You obviously asked them
to open just for us.

Nick, I know this is very expensive.

[VlOLlNlSTS PLAYlNG
TENDER CLASSlCAL MUSlC]

Where you're concerned,
it's worth it.

I asked them
to play that song for us.

I dedicate it to you, Dominique,

and to this night.

To us, together.

Nick, I'm very impressed
with everything you've done today.

And tonight.

However, I don't intend
to show my gratitude by...

Um...

Go on.

Nick, I'm not going to bed with you.

Who's talking about going to bed?

- What's on my mind is "wed."
- What?

You know, you walking down the aisle
looking gorgeous,

people throwing rice,
a great big reception.

Dominique,
I'm asking you to marry me.

Nick--

NlCK:
Ha, ha. Look at those big eyes.

I'll bet I have your attention now.

Think about it.

It's the best offer
you're gonna get tonight.

[GROANlNG]

[SlREN WAlLlNG lN DlSTANCE]

Stay out of the way, buddy.

Hey, what happened here?

I threw a punch and I missed.

Nut what the hell, I always do.

Okay, buddy,
who'd you throw the punch at?

Life, destiny. Take your pick.

Any lD?

No wallet.

What's your name?

[ADAM CHUCKLlNG]

My name?

That's what I just said.
What's your name?

You wanna know my name
and I don't know my name.

That's funny.

That's very funny.

Just another drunk,
another wise guy.

Come on, let's take him in.

[WHlMPERlNG]

Blake?

[PANTlNG]

Blake, I had the most horrible dream.

BLAKE:
Krystle.

I want my baby.

I know you do, darling. So do l.

Then why aren't we doing
something about it?

We are.
We're doing everything we can.

I've gotta believe that Sarah saw
that appeal you made on television.

Damn it, Nlake, don't patronise me.

I didn't think I was.

Why are you so calm?
Why aren't you angry?

I am.

Nut I can't let it cloud my thinking.

- Nut for Kristina's sake we've--
- Who are you angry with?

- God? Fate? Sarah?
- Maybe a little at each.

Well, what about me?

- Are you angry with me?
- Why you?

Necause I'm the one
who brought her into this house.

- I'm the one who trusted her.
- Krystle--

I'm the one who left her alone
with Kristina--

Darling. Krystle.

Whatever we did, we did together.

That's the way it is with you and me.

Isn't it?

I want my baby.

I want my baby.

The morgue?

Yes, sir. An accident.

My God.

Are you saying that my daughter--?

Mr. Carrington,
there's a child's body down there

we need to see if you can identify.

She's a little girl of about .
She has blond hair.

Sergeant, my wife is going through
a very bad time.

I can't tell her about this right now.

Not until we're sure.

Of course, I understand that.

Thank you.

KRYSTLE: Nlake?
- Oh, I won't be too long, darling.

Sergeant Nenson needs me
down at headquarters.

- Well, what for?
- Uh, just routine, Mrs. Carrington.

- Well, I'll go with you.
- No.

I think it'd be best if you stayed here,
near the telephone.

Yeah, that would help us out
a great deal, Mrs. Carrington.

Just in case
Mrs. Curtis should call here.

All right.

[PHONE RlNGlNG]

- Hello?
- Mrs. Curtis?

No, I'm a friend of hers. Who is this?

Oh, I'm Mrs. Nroderick.
I just got back in town and I needed--

Mrs. Nroderick,
do you know Sarah Curtis?

Oh, no. No, not personally.

You see, I had an ad in yesterday's
Mirror and Chronicle.

I'm looking for a tenant
for my apartment.

- Apartment?
- Yes, on Landley Circle.

She left this number
on my answering machine.

Do you happen to know
if she's still interested?

Uh, well, I couldn't say,

but if you do hear from her,
please call me immediately.

Oh, yes. Yes, of course.

May I have your number?

Thank you.

Gerard, do you still have
yesterday's newspapers?

I'm not sure, Mrs. Carrington.
I'll ask Marie.

Never mind, I'll ask her myself.

[PHONE RlNGlNG]

[LlNE RlNGlNG]

[PHONE CONTlNUES RlNGlNG]

Nellamy Street.
It's got to be the one.

[KRlSTlNA COUGHlNG]

[PHONE BUZZES]

- Hello?
- Dr. Chadway?

I'm sorry to bother you, but I have
a child here that you treated once.

- Yes, who is it?
- That's not important. The child is.

They took her to California for surgery,
and she won't take her medicine.

- And I'm very worried that--
- Where are you calling from?

Why do you wanna know that?
The child is what's important.

Am I the first mother you've known
to be concerned about their child?

Of course not, Mrs. Curtis.

- Uh, hold on a minute.
- I don't have time for that.

I'll take care of Cathy in my own way.
I don't need you. I don't need anybody.

Mrs. Curtis, listen to me.

Take that child back
where she belongs.

You've already put her life
in jeopardy.

Tell Nlake when he calls in
I had no luck in Wyoming.

Nut my father is gonna keep an eye
on her house, just in case.

- I'll tell him.
- Thanks, Dana.

Dex?

Adam still hasn't shown up yet,

and I've been so worried about him
lately, I'm even more worried now.

Look, Dana, I don't have time
to talk about that now.

Nut I think maybe you can help me.
Neal McVane?

- What about him?
- Well, Adam started acting strangely

about the same time
that McVane was released on parole.

Do you think that there could be
some sort of connection?

Well, McVane had reason
to hate Adam in the past.

And me and Alexis.

But the connection now,
I don't have an answer for that.

Well, I'm gonna have
to find one soon,

or else I don't know
what's gonna happen to Adam.

Something terrible.

ADAM:
Say it, I look terrible.

ALEXlS:
You look terrible.

You certainly don't look like
the son I know.

I see you brought the Rolls.

I thought you might decide on one
of your less conspicuous Jaguars,

just in case one of the media
latched on to some of this.

Yes, and you should be grateful
that one of my reporters

found out about this mess
before the rest of the media did.

And spared you
maternal embarrassment.

[SlGHS]

Adam, what is wrong with you?

Do you mean a Carrington in jail?

As I recall,
you were a guest here once.

Yes, I was, and I was innocent.

Why the hell did you bother
to bail me out?

Why didn't you just leave me there?

To let you rot?
That's what's happening to you, Adam.

I know, and I don't care,
so why should you?

Look, I don't want your concern,
and I don't want you.

Now leave me alone.

Nellamy Street. Did she say why?

No, sir.
Mrs. Carrington had a phone call,

then she asked me to round up
yesterday's newspapers.

She seemed most anxious
to have them.

Yesterday's newspapers?
Did she take them with her?

No, she rushed off.
They're still in the library.

This is Nlake Carrington. I'd like
to speak to Sergeant Nenson, please.

[ENGlNE STOPS]

KRYSTLE:
Sarah?

[KRlSTlNA COUGHlNG]

[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR]

KRYSTLE:
Sarah, it's Krystle. Please open the door.

Sarah, I'm alone,
there's nobody with me.

Can you hear me? I'm alone.

Sarah, I know you're in there.
Please, open the door.

Mommy.

[COUGHlNG]

Kristina. It's Mommy, honey.
Open the door.

Mom-- I wanna see my Mommy.

She's not your Mommy,
she's just a lady who's trying

to spoil things for us,
but she'll be leaving soon, Cathy.

- She'll leave. She will. She will.
KRlSTlNA: I want my Mommy.

Sarah, please, open the door.

Sarah, I can hear her coughing.

[KRlSTlNA COUGHlNG]

Sarah, I know you don't want anything
to happen to her.

You and Cathy helped her to live.
Please, please don't let her die.

KRlSTlNA: Mommy.
- Oh, Kristina. Oh.

Thank God. Oh, thank God.
