09x06 - Every Picture Tells a Story

[bunniefuu]

What do you mean
they won't be coming?

I mean the money's gone, Alexis.
The companies went bankrupt.

Last time on Dynasty:

Why didn't it decompose?

If a body is so cold that the bacteria
won't break down the tissue,

it's gonna stay the way it was.

You know,
your father seemed awfully upset

when I told him
how old that body was.

He was just startled,
like the rest of us.

I didn't hurt anybody, did I?

Of course not.
There's nothing to worry about.

I was thinking, though,
maybe I did see something at the lake.

Remember that nightmare I had?

One thing led to another.
It was the only time since the divorce.

- What?
- That we were together.

- It was a one-time thing.
- What? You slept with her?

My regards to your wife.

- I hope she's feeling better.
- Thank you.

And your daughter.

She's a little concerned
about how all this is affecting my wife.

I get the feeling she's concerned
about how it's affecting you.

Eat mud.

You stay out of my arena,
and I'll keep clear of the pipeline.

What do you say?
Time we buried the hatchet?

As long as it's not in my back.

Mommy, why are those people
going inside the box?

Do they live there?

Yes, darling. That's their home.

- You're selling the hotel?
- I'm doing a lot of things, as usual.

Fifty-six million dollars?
Another four and a half from Vitron?

It would be criminal if those
two companies went belly-up too.

Not to mention
an incredible coincidence.

You're quite a warrior, Sable.

When I'm fighting
for something that's mine.

Take those upstairs.

- Excuse me.
- Morning.

Fallon. What are you doing?

Nothing. Looking for something.

- In the basement?
- Yes. Do you mind?

Calm down.
I know you're upset. So am I.

This business with Krystle
is getting to all of us.

I'm sure you're deeply concerned
about Krystle, Adam,

kind and caring person that you are.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I am.
And I need to talk to you.

You heard something
from Los Angeles?

No, not yet.

But I've been thinking
about what Krystle told us yesterday.

Dad needs us,
and that means you and I and Jeff

have to figure out a way
to work together.

Adam Carrington, team player?

- I wanna do what's right.
- That's a first.

If you want a signed confession
of all my sins, you got it.

- I'll wait for the movie.
- Fallon, people change.

I've changed.
I am worried about Krystle.

Why don't I believe each
and every little word you're saying?

Oh, it's amazing.

I get farther with Jeff Colby
than I do with my own sister.

- You talked to Jeff about this?
- That's right.

And we figured that we could avoid
some of the confrontations

by dividing up the responsibilities.

- Show Dad we can work as a team.
- Amazing.

- We've got to pull this family together.
- You truly are one of a kind.

Oh, forget it.

I just wanted to fill you in
on what Jeff and I talked about.

Obviously, you aren't interested.

What were you looking for
in the basement?

- Pictures of my children.
- Oh, I see.

Dr. Goldberg to Emergency.

Dr. Goldberg to Emergency.

I'm sending Krystle's test results
to Dr. Roland in New York.

- Dr. Roland?
- The surgeon I talked to you about.

The one I wanna bring in for Krystle.

Well, then you've decided
on the surgery?

I wanted a second opinion.

Well, couldn't he tell
from the other tests?

Do we have to put her through that
all over again?

- Blake.
- No, no, she's had enough, Charles.

- What if this was your wife?
- Blake.

We might be able to use a new drug,
but it's highly experimental.

What we're testing for now
is Krystle's reaction to that drug.

And if she were my wife,
I'd do exactly the same thing.

Charles, I'm sorry.

I guess what I really want you
to tell me is that it's a mistake

and that she's gonna be all right.

Look, why don't you go back
to the hotel, get some rest?

- No, no, no, I'm fine.
- I'm not so sure about that.

Dr. West, cal! The operator.

Dr. West, call the operator.

Nice work.

Blake.

Virginia. What are you doing here?

I spoke to someone at the house.
They told me Krystle was here.

- You came all the way from Dayion?
- Yeah.

I called the hospital
and said I was Krystle's cousin.

Can you believe
they wouldn't tell me anything?

Nothing. I had to come.

How is she?

Well, they just took her in
for another test.

Look at you.

I'll bet you haven't eaten
since last night.

But I've got just the thing for you.
I brought it from the airplane.

- I'm really not very hungry.
- Come on, you gotta eat.

Keep your strength up.

Sit down.

You know,
there's some soup downstairs.

Real fresh
from the vending machine.

Virginia, Krystle told the family
last night.

How'd they take it?

They didn't know what to say,
they didn't know what to do.

They kept trying to reach out to me.
I know they wanna help.

You should let them.

I guess I really don't know how.

I've been keeping this in for so long,

not telling anything to anybody

for fear that Krystle
would find out about it.

But it is out now.

You told them, you told me,
there's no more secret.

You can let go of a little bit
of the weight now.

- I'm so glad that you're here.
- Me too.

You know,
I keep making these bargains.

God, please let Krystle be okay,

and I'll never complain
about anything again.

Please make her well.

Please make her well.

And I'll do anything.

Can you believe it?
I even promised to give up chocolates.

I've made the same bargains.

She's gonna make it, Blake.

She has to.

Look at us, Jeff.
Couldn't get along even then.

It's the guy in the morgue.

- Here's our old buddy Arnie.
- Oh, Arnie, it doesn't look good.

You're looking at years,
maybe .

- For what?
- You're a hard man to track down.

- Who let you back here?
- Officer at the desk.

I've been trying to reach you all day.

Hey, sweetheart - Shut up.

Uh, yeah, yeah, I got your messages,
but as you can see, I've been...

- Tied up?
- Hey, look, Zorelli, it's okay.

- I mean, if you wanna talk to the lady...
- Did I ask for your permission?

Um, why don't you let me get rid
of Prince Charming here, okay?

Have a seat.

Zorelli.

Yeah. Let me get it.

Yeah, yeah.

- Say, you got anything to smoke?
- It's here somewhere.

Cigarette. You got any?

Can't you guys get organised there?

No, sorry.

What about gum?
You got a stick of gum? Something?

L think so.

What's that file number again?

Get the file, get the number,
call me back,

and we'll do this right, okay?
Yeah, yeah.

No, no, no trouble at all.
I got nothing better to do.

It's kind of hard for me to reach
from here.

- Aah!
- Get away from him!

- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

And I was gonna cut you a deal.

Get him out of here
and book him for attempted.

Get that damn thing out and burn it.

Zorelli.

You gotta be crazy
going up to a guy like that.

This isn't a game here.

You ever hear of Patty Hearst?
Wanna spend six months in a closet?

I'm sorry. I made a mistake.

All right. All right.

You want a cup of coffee
or something?

Some water.

- Are you all right, Miss Carrington?
- Yes, I'm fine.

Gotta be careful
around police stations.

- Not the safest places in the world.
- I see that.

So, what did you wanna
see me about?

The man in the lake.
I wanna look at him again.

You do? I see.

This might sound
like a stupid question.

Why?

You told me to call you
if I remembered anything.

Oh, yeah. Right.
So, what do you remember?

I'm not sure.

I just thought
that if I could see him again,

maybe it would connect
with something.

Well, if you think
that you know him, sure.

I didn't say that. I just...

- Oh, look, forget it.
- No, no.

Hey, if you're feeling something,
let's check it out.

I'll call the coroner,
we'll set something up, okay?

Zorelli.

What happened in there with that guy
really scared me.

You were wonderful.

- Thank you.
- They don't call me Zorro for nothing.

- What is it?
- A rose crystal.

I want you to have it.

When I was years old
back in Dayion,

I had pneumonia real bad.

Those doctors didn't think
I was gonna make it.

I couldn't even have any visitors.

But somehow,

somehow, I don't know how
to this day, Krystle snuck in.

She gave me this rose crystal.

She said it had
magic healing powers.

But for me, the magic
was having a piece of her so close.

God, how I idolized her.

I don't think she ever realised
what she meant to me.

Virginia, I can't take this.

I want you to have it.
I want you to give it to Krystle.

For the magic.

- The magic.
- Yes.

The magic is getting it
from someone you love.

I'm so glad that you're coming back
to Denver with us.

So am I.

My, you look wonderful.

Darling, are you sure you're up
to going out to dinner tonight?

After all,
you've had those tests all day long.

I feel fine.

As a matter of fact,
I haven't felt this good in a long time.

I'll leave you two alone.

You're coming out to dinner with us,
aren't you?

No, thanks. I have other plans.

Besides, I heard something

about you two having dinner
in your room tonight.

- Is that true?
- Yes.

I thought we'd have
a little celebration.

Remember this?

Yes.

And I remember the first time
I held you in my arms,

and I said to myself,

"I am never gonna let her go."

You know,
today was a turning point for me.

It stared when I saw Virginia.

It's funny,
feeling that my life was at an end

and seeing someone that I cared for
when it was just beginning.

It was kind of like an omen.

We talked a little about the past,

and then we began to talk
about the future.

Yeah. What about the future?

Blake, I've had a wonderful life.

But I realised that I still have
so many things that I wanna do.

Things that it takes time for.

Sol made a decision.

I decided

that I'm not gonna die.

Well, I see you got your office
all set up.

Hey, Dex.

What brings you over
to this side of town?

I don't know. I heard
that there was a good fighter in town.

You know, takes a hell of a punch.
Good kid.

Anybody I know?

You know,

Fallon wants a divorce, so I give it to her
and I finally get over that, right?

Then Sammy Jo comes along,
and she doesn't wanna get married.

So I wait.

Then Fallon decides
she wants to play doctor,

and Sammy Jo decides
she wants to get married.

Fallon ends up in the backseat
of my car, and Sammy Jo sees it.

What am I doing wrong?

Try cutting down
on your marriage proposals.

I do that a lot, don't I?
What's going on?

Jeff, you're pretty tight with Alexis.

She's, uh... She's in trouble.

- What kind of trouble?
- You know a guy named Fritz Heath?

Sure. Colbyco's comptroller.

He was there when Uncle Cecil
was with the company.

Stayed on when Alexis took over.

He's got her
into some pretty bad deals.

There's a chance
she could take a hard fall.

How can I help?

He's a financial man.

Now, he's got Colbyco
into a lot of grey areas.

Creative financing, junk bonds.

Now, you speak his language
better than I do.

Help me find out what's going on.

I don't know how much help I'll be,
but I'll take a look at the books.

Give me a minute to shower.

I knew there was a reason
I liked you.

Ha, ha. Here, go ahead. Give it a try.

All right.

Here we go, Fritz.

Come on. No pain, no gain.

I feel so empty.

Exhausted, I guess.

You probably used up
all your strength

punching me out
in that horse trough.

Not so bad, was I?

You thinking about Krystle?

You know what I've been doing
all day?

Listening to myself breathe.
You ever do that?

Listen to yourself breathe
to make sure you get enough air

so that you can stay alive?

My mom had an asthma att*ck once,

and she ran out of the house
saying that she couldn't breathe.

What she meant was
that she couldn't breathe easy.

The whole time that she was gone,
I was breathing real hard,

like I was breathing for both of us.

I was so scared that she would die.

That's what I've been doing
for Krystle.

Ever since she told us...

- Ever since she told us about herself.
- Yeah.

There's gotta be a way.

L just wanna reach inside her
and tear that sickness out.

She can't die.

She's the only family I've got left.

- Where are you going?
- I'm gonna call the hospital again.

Hey.

Krystle's not the only family
you've got left.

- There's a phone call for you, ma'am.
- Oh, thank you.

- Hello?
- It's Zorelli.

- Zorelli who?
- Right.

Listen, I was just wondering if, uh...

- If what?
- If you're okay.

And you said something about
wanting to come and see your friend.

- My friend?
- From the lake.

- Yes. Yes, I do.
- Good.

Good. Why don't you come down
to the station,

say, in about three hours?

- Fine.
- Then I'll take you over.

She's coming in.

I don't know why,
but something tells me

there haven't been many days
in Blake Carrington's life

when you could find him
out on the beach,

playing with the sand.

Ha, ha. When I was a little boy,

somebody gave me
one of those hourglasses, you know?

Uh-huh.

Where the sand runs down
from one side into the other.

Well, it bothered me, you know,
to see the sand running out like that,

- so I did a pretty dumb thing.
- Ha-ha-ha.

Hook the top off,
I put a lot of sand in,

and I packed it down very tight
so it couldn't move

and it couldn't go down through.

I guess what I was trying to do
was make time stand still.

Maybe you still can.

You know the rose crystal
that I gave you last night?

Virginia,
that was a beautiful gesture,

but don't make me believe
in miracles.

Blake, I know what the doctors
are saying.

They don't think she's gonna live.

Even with the surgery, they don't think
her chances are very good, but...

Krystle is very sick.
She's got something that is real.

It couldn't be any more real
than your love for her.

Yeah, but this is something else.
We're dealing with hard medical facts.

I know. Facts. Facts, facts.

Yes, of course, this sand is a fact.

And the ocean and the sun
and the trees

and the horizon out there,
they're all facts.

But there's something else too.

They're miracles.
This whole universe is a miracle.

When Krystle says
she's not gonna die,

she's asking
for one little bitty miracle more.

Maybe, just maybe, she'll get it.
She thinks she will.

I appreciate what you're trying to do.
I know the power of positive thinking.

My God,
I've been motivating people all my life.

I saw an accident
a couple years ago.

This little girl was trapped
inside a burning car.

All the doors were sealed shut,
and she stared screaming.

Her dad broke away from the crowd,
ran over...

I know, he ran over there
and he tore off the door by sheer force.

I read those stories too, but...

Virginia, if you think I've lost hope,

then I've given you
the wrong impression.

I'm the last person
to deny what faith can do.

I couldn't deny it.

- I love Krystle too much.
- Good.

Because she thinks she can live,

and she needs us
to believe that too.

So, what you're saying
is that Fritz Heath,

Cecil's best friend
and the man who I've trusted for years,

has been playing games
with my money.

That's what it looks like.

He and Sean were able to shift money
from one Colbyco account to another.

That way,
when a payment came due,

they could stagger the books
and cover it.

We're not just talking
about switching money.

We're talking
about money disappearing.

I mean, where is it?
What happened?

- October the th happened.
- The stock market's Black Monday.

Yeah, I do know what happened
on October the th.

Well, when the market crashed,
you took some pretty big hits.

Sean invested
in a lot of junk-bond situations,

some very high-risk companies,

and he couldn't have done that
without Heath's blessing.

It's just incredible.

I mean, does he think we're stupid?

He must have known that we were
going to investigate this whole thing.

I mean, why did he come back?

That's something
you're gonna have to ask him.

The only thing I can figure
is he wants something else.

He's willing to risk coming back
to get it.

- What?
- That, we haven't figured out yet.

- Well, keep figuring.
- We will. We will.

Well, I wanna be there
when you slit his throat.

Oh, I'm not going to do that.

I'm gonna make him believe

that he's the only man
in my organization that I can count on.

I'm gonna let him get so close.

Since he's the only one
who knows the way,

I'm gonna let him lead us
out of this mess.

Then I'm going to slit his throat.

I suppose this whole thing
is my fault, really.

When I was running for governor,
I gave away so much control.

But I am never going to do that again.
Never, ever, ever.

Well, there is some good news.

- Sean is still dead.
- Besides that.

The deal on the hotel, it's done.

- And in cash.
- Great.

The only hitch is the consortium
that bought it

wants to take possession
right away.

- You're selling the Carlton?
- Yes, Jeff. I need the money.

I'd just feel better if I knew
who the principal buyers were.

I don't care
if they're Bulgarian cannibals

as long as they come up
with the cash.

Ah. Heh.

I may make mistakes occasionally,
but I always learn from them.

Dex, catch.

- How did you do that?
- Years of practice. And here you are.

Keep your noses
to the grindstone, boys.

I'm late.

- I know. Can I see him now?
- Uh, I don't think you really want to.

Of course I do.
Why else would I have come here?

Well, the problem is he seems to
have an allergic reaction to being dead.

What does that mean?

Well, he's broken out
in a pretty bad case of decay.

You see, after a while, when a body's
been dead, it sort of just, um...

Okay, okay.

Uh, but why didn't you
protect it or something?

- I don't understand why no one...
- Hey, hey, take it easy.

What are you getting so upset about?
It's not the end of the world.

I just wanted to help and...

- And we appreciate it.
- But if I can't see him...

Let me ask you a question.
Would a picture of him do it for you?

- You have a picture?
- Sure, we do.

We do good work around here.
Come on.

Have a seat.

It's not his most flattering side,
but take a look at him anyway.

Take your time.

I have some business downtown,
so when you're finished, uh,

just drop the folder off
with Rudy outside, okay?

Yes, thank you.

Let me ask you a question.

How come you're thinking so much
about dead guys

when there are so many
nice live ones around?

- Like who?
- I'm available.

Really?

A person could do worse.

It is you.

Yes, well, Mr. Heath promised that
he'd get back to me, but he hasn't yet.

Would you please tell him

that Mrs. Colby is very anxious
to talk to him?

What on earth is going on up there?

Ugh. Would you please stop that?

Excuse me, Sharon.
I'll be right back.

- What is going on here?
- Redecorating, ma'am.

Well, I didn't order any redecoration.
Would you please stop it?

- I've got a crew here.
- I don't care what you've got.

- I am ordering you to stop.
- Sorry, ma'am. I'd like to oblige you...

Will you stop that hammering?
It's giving me a headache.

- Do you know who I am?
- Listen, lady...

No, you listen to me.
I am the owner of this hotel.

Previous owner, darling.

What are you doing here?

- Redecorating this hotel I just bought.
- You bought?

- Excuse us, please.
- Take five, guys.

Yes.

Didn't your friend Dexier tell you?

I sold this hotel to Pavilion Resorts.

Mm-hm. I own Pavilion Resorts.
So now I own the Carlton.

Really?

Well, you may have bought
more than you bargained for.

Why did you buy my hotel?

But that's what Pavilion Resorts does,
darling.

It acquires rundown properties
that have been poorly maintained,

like yourself.

Funny. Your husband, the one who
dumped you for your younger sister,

didn't find me poorly maintained.

That's what this little vendetta
is all about, isn't it?

First L.A., now here.

After all these years,

I think you still bear a grudge
against me.

- Really?
- Yes, really.

Over my relationship with Jason.

But it's all so ridiculous

because it really didn't mean anything,
especially to me.

Don't flatter yourself.

You never had a relationship
with Jason.

Actually, you're right.

That's true. It was more like a fling.

But it was terribly romantic.

He was mad about me. Remember?

Alexis.

Consider this official notice.

I want you out of here in days.

- On whose orders?
- On court orders, if I have to.

And if I have to, I'll nullify the sale.
I won't be kicked out of my own home.

Kicked out or thrown out,
the choice is yours.

I really don't care how you go,
but you will go.

You are so amazingly vindictive.

Did you really buy this entire hotel
just to evict me?

Of course not, darling.

Getting rid of you is just part
of the upgrading process.

Now, if you don't mind,
my men wish to get back to their work.

I'll help them.

Oh, please.

I haven't finished with you, cousin.
Not by a long sh*t.

Oh, you're finished, all right.

You just don't know it yet.

Ha, ha, I'm glad you're back,
Mrs. Carrington.

Oh, thank you, Jeanette. So am I.
This is my cousin Virginia.

She's gonna be staying with us
for a while.

This is Jeanette. She's, um...
Well, she's part of the family.

- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- Thank you.

Oh, you can take
Mr. Carrington's bags upstairs.

He's at the office.

Kristina's just finishing
her piano lessons,

- and she's been asking for you.
- Oh.

- Do you mind?
- No. No. I'll be fine. I'll be just fine.

Okay. I'll just give her a quick kiss
and be right back.

I'll take your things upstairs
to your room.

- What?
- Your bag.

- All right.
- All right, there we go.

- Uh, I'll take that myself. Thanks.
- Oh.

If there's anything else you need.

I know.

I felt the same way
when I first came here.

Come on.
I'm gonna show you your room.

You're gonna love it here.

Yeah, that's right. Fritz Heath.

Any personal accounts
you can get ahold of.

No, no, you didn't hear a thing.
Uh, work on it, okay?

Yeah, and I owe you one.

- How could you do this to me?
- Are you trying to tell me something?

Of all the people to betray me.

- Wait a minute.
- Why did you do it, Dex?

What did Sable do?

Did she offer you a piece of the action
or her lily-white body?

Listen, I didn't know
she was behind the hotel sale.

I'm as surprised as you are.

In your quaint,
Country-Western vernacular,

in a pig's eye.

- Who do you think you're talking to?
- I'm talking to you, cowboy.

- The man I trusted.
- Alexis, think back.

I'm the one who wanted
to check on those buyers,

but you said, "Oh, no, go ahead."

When will I learn?
When will I ever, ever learn?

Sit down.

Every man I've trusted,
every man I've believed in,

has turned around
and stabbed me in the back.

Sit down.

Now, you wanted a short escrow,
I got it.

You wanted all cash, I got that too.

I also wanted to continue
staying at the hotel.

But thanks to you, that woman
has given me a month to get out.

I've never been so humiliated
in my whole life.

Don't you think I'd cover you on that?

Now, I found a second buyer
for the land around the hotel.

So what?

The deal includes
the leasing of your suite.

And do you know who the buyer is,
Alexis? Me.

There's your suite.

Here's what I think of your charity.

I don't believe this.

Lam standing in your office

spending my time
cleaning up your mess.

Well, you're making enough mess
yourself.

Well, Dex, I want you out of my office,
because this time, we're through.

Tell me something
I don't already know.

Divorcing you was the best move
I ever made.

Well, I'm glad I could help you make
one good move in your life, Alexis.

Please slam the door
on your way out.

Claire.

Claire, you make me feel like...
Well...

I haven't felt that way in a long time.

Now drop the other shoe.

L just want you to know
how much I appreciate you.

Appreciate me?

Adam, I didn't sleep with you
as a mission of mercy.

Or maybe I'm the one
who has my signals crossed.

- Claire...
- Look, I'll make it easy for you.

I'm fired, aren't I?

I just think
that under the circumstances,

our working together
isn't such a good idea.

Fine. I'll clear out my desk.

Wait a minute.

Three years of college and I keep
making the same dumb mistakes.

Claire, listen to me.
I don't wanna stop seeing you.

- Oh, lucky me.
- Try to understand.

This is a critical time for the company,
for me.

I can't be distracted.
And you are a very distracting woman.

Unbelievable.
I finally get a job I'm perfect for

and then I go screw it up.

Thank you, Mr. Carrington.

I always enjoy an object lesson.
Maybe I'll learn from this one.

Claire, you didn't do anything wrong.
Here, here, here.

I want you to have this.
Until you get resettled.

Why didn't you just leave it
on the pillow after you were through?

- That's not why I gave it to you.
- Oh, really?

Well, just so
there's no misunderstanding.

Thank you, Mr. Colby.

You. Sit.

What's next? Roll over? Play dead?

No, that's too easy for you.
I need you to learn a new trick.

Play smart - Please.

I know that it's hard for you
to break old habits,

so I'll give you five minutes to irritate
and annoy me, then I'm gonna leave.

You know what I came across
the other day?

Some pictures of us
when we were kids.

- And guess what we were doing.
- Fighting.

Right.

Boy, you're not so stupid after all.

Clock is ticking.

Jeff, you're gonna have to listen
to me,

so you might as well stop trying
to cover up the fact

that we still like each other

and will probably befriends
for the rest of our lives.

Okay, buddy, what's up?

- About you and Sammy Jo.
- Oh, forget Sammy Jo.

She embarrassed me the other day.

She's only ' " and I'm ' ",
and she almost knocked me out.

She's gonna break her hand
one of these days.

I've got a few loose teeth myself.

- She hit you?
- Uh-huh.

She's gonna be all right after all.

And, Jeff,

I don't know what to do.

Looks like that dead guy at the lake.

And look who he's standing next to.

My God, it's Blake. He did know him.

- Yes, he did.
- Sable.

- Hello, Fallon.
- Give me that, please.

What are you doing here, Sable?

Oh, didn't Alexis tell you?
I bought the Carlton.

- You what?
- Hello, Jeff.

You seem the same.

- Pleased to see me?
- Not at all.

Mother sold you the Carlton?

Well, people in financial difficulties
do all saris of things.

Ha, ha. This is an expensive
piece of real estate.

I'm surprised that Jason's money
has lasted this long.

If that is an insinuation, Jeffrey,

think back to the origins
of your own wealth.

- I earned my money.
- Yes.

By the sweat
of your Aunt Connie's brow.

Excuse us. Can't you see
we were discussing something?

Yes, I can.

Now, that picture
you're so interested in,

that wouldn't be the man

that they found
at the bottom of your father's lake?

- Would it?
- What do you know about this?

Fallon, please.

Not very much,
but if that is the man...

- Who is he? Did you know him?
- Somewhat.

But not nearly as well
as your mother did.

You just show that picture to her.

Who is he, Mother?

What did your father tell you
about him?

Nothing. Who is he?

Why do you want to know, Fallon?

It's the man who was m*rder*d
at the lake.

What?

Hold it right there.

She's got another picture.

- Can you get any tighter on it?
- I don't know. I can try.

How about one more time?

I think it's show-and-tell time.

You seem to be the only one
still working.

Actually, I'm not.

I haven't been coming in much lately
and I'm just checking my mail.

Adam's been using the office
until things get organised.

Come in. Come in.

I could say
that I was just in the neighbourhood,

but the truth is, I wanted to see you.

I didn't know you were here
in Denver.

Well, I'm making a move here.

- I've bought the Carlton.
- You have?

Well, I'm surprised
that Alexis sold it to you.

You two dislike each other so much.

Well, that hasn't changed.
She didn't realise that I was the buyer.

Ah.

I have been worried about you.
Well, about Krystle.

- How is she?
- Oh, she's...

I'm sorry.
I know what a private person you are.

I don't mean to intrude.
I'm just so fond of you both.

Even though we don't really know
each other all that well, but...

Now, Krystle...

Just makes this other situation
so difficult.

What other situation?

The man in the lake.

Oh, my God.

Of all times to be confronted
with that ugly piece of the past.

Seeing his face again
must have been horrible for you.

I'm amazed you've kept it a secret
this long.

God only knows
how Alexis will react.

Blake...

I've just seen his picture.

His picture?

Mm-hm. With you in it. Fallon had it.

She was showing it in public.

Sable, I appreciate your concern,
but frankly, I'm a little puzzled by it.

I mean, first in Los Angeles
and now here.

Trust me,

my concern is genuine.

And it's strange, but I've always had
this way of finding myself

exactly where I'm most needed.

And what is it that you think I need?

A friend, Blake.
I think you need a friend.

Rough day?

Does the word "women"
mean anything to you?

- What'll you have?
- Double Scotch.

Oh, I'm having the calls
from my room transferred here.

Yes, Miss Sills.

What a surprise.

You should've worn that
the other day.

Could I have made a better deal
for the hotel?

No, but it would've been nice
to see how much you had to offer.

Now I know what to wear next time.

- As little as possible?
- Ha, ha.

What are you doing here?

- Trying to forget.
- What?

Well, now that you're here,
I can't remember what.

- And you? Heavy date?
- Oh, middleweight.

Was your client satisfied
with the sale of the hotel?

Alexis?

- She is not an easy woman to satisfy.
- Neither am I.

- Cabernet, please.
- Yes, ma'am.

It was an interesting negotiation,
wasn't it?

- You were very good.
- So were you.

You failed to mention
that Sable Colby was the buyer.

It would've been easier
if you'd put all your cards on the table.

Oh, sure, but a lot less fun.

Long, straight highways bore me.

Twists and turns, Dex.

They're what make
for an interesting life.

Hm.

You're an ambitious woman.

I keep my eyes open to the future.

- Phone call, Miss Sills.
- Thank you.

Hello?

Yes.

That sounds lovely,
but I think I have something new

I have to work on tonight. Hold on.

Are we going to continue
this line of seduction?

No reason not to.

Oh, I'm sorry, Bob,

but it looks like I'm gonna belied up
after all tonight.

Sure, another time would be fine.

Thank you.

- Good night, Mr. Carrington.
- Night.

What the hell
do you think you're doing?

It wasn't enough for you
to b*at the hell out of him, was it?

It wasn't enough for you to send me
away from my children forever.

What are you talking about?

- I'm talking about Roger Grimes.
- What about him?

Fallon showed me the picture
of you and him together.

All these years,
I never knew what happened.

I thought you frightened that beautiful
young man away from me.

Alexis, Roger Grimes came
into our house.

He had an affair with you.

And he deserved to be
more than frightened.

He was with me
because you never were.

He filled a void in my life because
you didn't give a damn about me.

The things you're talking about
happened a lifetime ago.

A lifetime?
It wasn't a lifetime for him.

He was only years old
when you k*lled him.

I did not k*ll Roger Grimes.

Save your breath, Blake.
I've heard your lies too many times.

Your whole life has been a lie.
You know it and I know it.

Well, I haven't decided how,
and I haven't decided when,

but I'm gonna make you pay
for k*lling Roger Grimes.
