09x17 - Sins Of The Father

Post by bunniefuu »

You tried to turn me
into a criminal

and that is exactly
what I am going to do to you now.

There's no way to stop you,
is there?

Well, you could always put a b*llet
through the back of my head.

NARRATOR: Last time on Dynasty:

Aah! You're making me crazy.

Come on, stop it.
Can't you see I'm blind? Stop it.

This is never gonna work.

You know that, don't you?

Oh, God.

What did she do to you
to make you hate her so much?

Lam going to make her life
living hell.

Make sure you tell her that,
won't you?

Very nice to meet you.

And I'll call you later.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Lovely young woman.
- Yeah, she is.

Does she know you're married, son?

Don't get too excited,
it might be fatal.

This woman
has just had seven tankers blown up.

And now that I've taken care
of the ships,

I'm going to devote all of my energies
to finding out who k*lled Roger Grimes.

- Can you round up some scuba gear?
- Sure.

- How soon you want us to go down?
- As soon as possible.

We have got to make sure that
no one sees the entrance to that vault.

You didn't go to bed with Sable.

I never wanna see you again.

Mr. Chisolm, you have nothing
to be afraid of.

But I wanna know
who k*lled Roger Grimes.

A man
with a bright orange rain jacket.

A bright orange jacket
with a C on the back?

- Mother, who owned that jacket?
- Blake.

That's right.

Blake Carrington.

He k*lled Roger Grimes.

I just thought you'd be
a lot more enthusiastic.

I mean, my God, we have a witness

who says that Blake
k*lled Roger Grimes.

Yes, that's good for us.

If Elsworth would actually testify that
he saw Blake carrying Grimes' body,

that would be great.

But we need something more than that
to make a m*rder charge stick.

The letter.

The letter Grimes sent you.
We need that.

And anything else you've got.

Are you listening?

Oh, the letter, yes, of course.

Yes, I need to see it.
So the sooner you find it, the better.

Are you having second thoughts
about going after Blake?

Well, I always have second thoughts,
but certainly not about this.

Then what is it? Mother,
you should be on top of the world.

You mean because my life
is so wonderful?

Look, I know that Dex upset you,

but I'd go easy on the brandy,
if I were you.

When I want a sermon, dear,
I'll go to church.

What is the matter with you?

You really want to help me, Adam?

Try getting back
into Blake's good graces.

Are you kidding?

Is there a smile on my face?

When I make my move,

I wanna know how Blake
and his friends are going to counter it.

Do you think, in your wildest
imagination, he'd ever take me back?

Convince him.

You're good at that.

Well, first, I'd have to get past
your good friend, Dex.

And then past his good friend,
Sable.

Answer it, will you, darling?

Colby residence.

It's Dex, Adam,
let me speak to Alexis.

Dex, hey, whatever happened
to good old-fashioned manners?

Whatever happened to:

"How are you, Adam?
How's life been treating you, Adam?"

I don't give a damn how life treats you,
just put Alexis on the phone.

She says she's not available.

Look, I'm in no mood to play games.

Apparently, neither is she.

You're doing the right thing, Mother.

Dex is not the man for you.

Shut up, Adam.

All right, next time
answer your own phone.

- Look, if you're angry with Dex...
- I don't want to hear about Dex.

I don't know what went on
between...

I don't want to hear about him.
I don't want to see him.

I don't want anything more to do
with him. Ls that clear, Adam?

Is that clear?

Good night, Mother.

No.

Come on, let's wake up. It's okay.

I hate snakes.

- No.
- Come on. Let's wake up. Wake up.

Aah! No.

Shh. It's okay.

It's okay.

Oh, God.

L was dreaming.

Dreaming?

Looked like you were going rounds
with Sugar Ray.

Oh.

They're getting worse.

The nightmares are getting worse.

You've been having
the same nightmare?

About Roger Grimes.

Grimes?

He won't let me alone.

How long has this been going on?

Since I saw his body that first time
at the morgue.

It's like he's inside my head.
I can't get him out.

Shh.

Oh, you're still shaking.

What's all this business
about snakes?

Snakes? Well, I hate snakes.

So do I.

But in your dream...

He...

He had -.

He had a snake on his back.

Are we talking about a live snake
here?

No, it was one of those tattoos.

- A tattoo?
- Yeah.

You know, on his back.

Where?

I mean, show me exactly
where on his back.

It was right here.

Above his waist.
It was a twisted coiled snake.

And you saw this tattoo
in your dream?

Yeah, but the real Roger Grimes
must have had it too, didn't he?

I guess I saw it at the morgue.

Well, Grimes had a tattoo on his back,
all right?

But you never saw his back.

When you saw him at the morgue,
he was lying face up.

Then how did I know?

Okay, so when you saw Grimes
at the morgue,

you said he looked familiar.

Think back.

He was your father's architect.

Maybe you saw him working outside
without a shirt, saw the tattoo then.

Maybe, but I was only
or years old.

Well, Grimes and your mother
were lovers, right? So...

How do you know that?

Fallon, I know a lot more
about this case than you think I do.

Maybe you saw them in bed
together.

Zorelli...

Well, that would be pretty traumatic,
especially for a little kid.

Damn right it would,
but it never happened.

Well, think about it.

You have these dreams,
he's scaring you, he's chasing you.

Could he have hurt you
in some way?

Don't you think I'd remember
something like that?

Well, the mind works in weird ways.

I can remember the name of every
starting pitcher the Phillies had

since I was years old,

and I can't remember
the day my grandfather d*ed.

I really loved him
and I can't remember that day.

Some things are so painful,
the mind just blocks them out.

Look, Fallon.

The minute you saw Grimes' body,
you reacted very strongly.

He's got a hold on you.

Why don't you let me help you find out
what it is?

Oh, yeah?

Who's gonna be helping me?

Dr. Zorelli?

Or Zorelli the cop?

Let's be fair here.

I mean, I don't like the idea of going
to bed with you and Roger Grimes.

Isn't it wonderful how Alexis' husbands
come back to haunt her?

Where do we stand legally?

- What's our next move?
- I say we have a very strong case.

Just give me the go-ahead
and I'll initiate the lawsuit.

Oh, thank you, Angela.

Would you go downstairs
and check my mail, please?

Certainly.

It is funny.

I remember this tall skinny tomboy
of a daughter

who swore she'd eat worms
if I made her wear braces.

How on earth did she turn
into this magnificent young woman

with very straight teeth
who initiates lawsuits?

- Blake.
- Good morning.

Oh, come in.
You remember my daughter, Monica.

- Yes. Yes, of course. Hello, Monica.
- Hi, Blake.

I was so sorry to hear about Krystle.

Thank you.

Jeff tells me that you're gonna
be working here in Denver.

Yes, for the time being, anyway.

Speaking of Jeff, that reminds me,
I have a very important meeting.

- Bye.
- Bye, darling.

Call me later. MONICA: Okay.

You'll have to forgive me
for being a very proud mother,

but she is very special.

Yes.

You and Jason have every reason
to be proud of her.

- Would you like some coffee?
- No. Thank you very much.

I suppose you're wondering
what brings me here.

Well, Dex came by to see me last night
and we talked about you.

Oh.

Um...

Should I be flattered or concerned?

Oh, no, no, no.

He likes you very much.

Oh, that's very nice to hear.

But we don't really know each other
all that well.

You know, that's interesting.

I don't think that you knew Krystle
all that well either.

But both she and Dex admire
and trust you very much.

But you know how I feel
about Krystle.

Well, after Dex left the house
last night,

I thought about
what he said about you

that I had been too hard on you.

Well, I must admit, when I first heard
that you had hired that diver, Gibson...

I don't blame you.

Under the same circumstances,
I might have been equally suspicious.

Well, anyway...

It's times like this that I miss Krystle
very, very much.

She could handle this sort of stuff
much better than I can.

Sable,
I think that I owe you an apology.

Maybe I judged you too quickly.

I do know that it's taken me too long
to tell you that...

That I'm sorry.

Blake,

I have just hired
the most marvelous new chef

who makes the most
sinfully delicious apple crepes.

Do you think I could tempt you?

Good.

Tanner, these colours look horrible
together, it makes my teeth ache.

Oh, well, how about this one?

Much better.

You know, I don't think you're ever
gonna become an interior decorator.

Well, I never had much of a sense
of colour.

That's because
you don't pay attention.

Close your eyes.

- Go on, close your eyes.
- Okay.

All right.

Now, what colour is this room?

It's white.

Not even close.

Okay, how about your shirt?

Do you remember
what colour that is?

Dark.

Heh. You're hopeless. All right, okay.
Okay, one more chance.

MY eyes.

What colour are they?

Whoa, looking good.

It's about time we got somebody
with some class around here.

Where have you been, Veronica?
Let's move.

Hey, you guys, you know,
we got a lotto do here.

You know, you can dance later.

They can't stop. When you have music
like this, you can't stop dancing.

Do you realise
that you're committing a felony?

I could make a citizen's arrest.

- Unless I dance?
- Exactly.

Let's go.

Come on.

- Look out. Come on. Whoo!
- He...

Hey, look at how he makes
some moves.

- They're blue.
- What?

Your eyes,
they're a beautiful shade of blue.

Your grandfather cares
a great deal about you.


Yeah.

It's been the two of us
since I was really young.

Why didn't you want me to tell him
about us meeting today?

I don't think he understands
what's at stake here.

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

I hope he realizes you only get
the reward if what he's told us is true.

He told you the truth.

The whole truth?

Nothing but?

Phoenix...

I like you.

I like your grandfather.

I know how worried he is about
what's gonna happen to you

when he's not around anymore.

And I'd hate for someone else
to show up with the whole story

and for you to miss out
on all that reward money.

So you'd like for me
to fill in some of the blanks?

I think that would be
a pretty good idea.

Do you think I'm some sort of idiot?

You don't want to tell my grandfather
we're having this get-together,

then you want me to give you
all saris of information for free.

You're pretty savvy for your age,
aren't you?

I had to be.

A lot of people out there would like
to take advantage of girls like me.

Because of your innocence?

- That must be it.
- Yeah.

Here you go.

- Excuse me.
- Sure.

It's hot.

- Do you have a pen?
- Oh, yes.

Thank you.

Hell you what.

- What's the date?
- The th.

I'm gonna give you percent now.

And the rest,

if your story checks out.

My grandfather says
what happened to Roger Grimes

wasn't the only strange thing that
happened in that mansion of yours.

See, some of the men working
on the house

were working on another project.

- And?
- Some of them disappeared too.

How about that?

Maybe they'll float up, too, some day
like Roger Grimes did.

- Mrs. Colby.
- Come in, Mary.

Good morning, ma'am.

Your daughter is here
and I brought you breakfast.

Oh, I don't want any breakfast,
thank you. I'll just take this. Thanks.

Mother.

Oh, darling, good morning.

You're just in time
to help me celebrate.

Would you like a drink?

Uh, it's : in the morning.

I know,
but I've got such a hangover.

What's wrong?

I came over as soon as you called.

Did I call you?

You were crying.

Oh, Fallon, what on earth
would I have to cry about?

Please talk to me. Ls it Dex?
I know you two...

Oh, Dex.

I wouldn't give him the satisfaction
of seeing me cry.

Why?

Look at them, Fallon.

The men in my life.

What a bunch.

Blake Carrington.

Pillar of society.

He didn't love me,

but he'd k*ll anybody
who was going to make me happy.

And Cecil.

Cecil Colby.

He d*ed on the wedding night
and I got the blame.

Nobody blamed you.

And Sean Rowan. Dear dumb Sean.

He d*ed
and tried to take me with him.

And Dex...

Dex...

The only one I ever really trusted.

Dex loves you.

Love? He doesn't know the meaning
of the word.

The only feelings he's got
are between his waist and his knees.

- Mother.
- He slept with her.

- Who?
- Who do you think?

Not Sable.

They're all the same,
every one of them!

Except Roger.

Roger is the only man
who ever loved me.

Really loved me.

Nice sh*t.

It would make me feel a little better
if you'd move every once in a while.

Maybe if you'd stop hitting it
right at me.

- Like that?
- Almost.

- Oh, my God. Are you all right?
- I'm okay. I'm okay.

It's just my ego that went down
for the count.

- Oh! Oh, cramp.
- Oh, boy.

Six to is not exactly a rout.

- I hate to lose.
- Ha, ha, ha.

Let's look at this leg now.

Hey, good to see you.

- Let Dr. Colby take a look.
- Oh...

- There we go.
- Ah...

So how are you?

Mmm. Much better.

I mean, we've had our arguments,
food fights, whipped cream fights,

but we haven't had a chance
to talk yet.

Uh-oh. I sense a deep
and meaningful discussion coming on.

Come on,
would you give me a break?

Sorry, Jeff.

You know my life's an open book
to you.

What chapter
do you wanna start with?

- Cut the act, I won't tell anybody.
- Act?

Yeah, smart, witty,
clever line for every occasion.

Yeah. Plays pretty well in L.A.

Why'd you move here?

- Because you're here.
- Yeah, right.

No, really, Jeff, I can't tell you
how nice it is to be with someone

who's not just,
"Here's my resume, let's go to bed."

Why don't you give the guys a chance,
huh?

Hey, you know my motto:

Stick to the surface
and you don't get hurt.

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Have you heard from him?
The senator?

No.

What about your little boy?

Monica, you've had it pretty rough.

Hey, you know,
life's like that sometimes.

You've made a lot of choices that most
people wouldn't have the guts to make.

- Give yourself some credit.
- Aye, aye, captain.

Heh, heh.

Thanks.

- Can we get a couple of iced teas?
- Thanks.

- Wanna hear about my life?
- No.

Good, I was hoping you'd say that.

Oh, Jeff.

Does Sammy Jo have any idea
how lucky she is?

Sammy Jo is great but...

But she's not the one, right?

Yep.

Jeff, don't settle.

Don't ever settle.

Settling is for aardvarks.

- What the hell does that mean?
- I don't actually know.

Yeah, I know you don't.

"My darling Alexis,"

Blake warned me
if we continue to see each other

that he'd k*ll us both.

We have to be careful.

Soon H! Have enough money

so even Blake Carrington
won't dare touch us.


Be patient, darling.

"I love you, now and always. Roger. "

This is the new building
that Tanner looked at downtown

for the teen centre.

And Joe Vodnoy's company owns
the leases on the entire block.

He's asking an arm and a leg for it.

- Well, Joe is an old friend of mine.
- I know.

I might be able to work something out
for you.

I was counting on that.

Sammy Jo, I can't tell you
how proud I am of you.

Involving yourself with these kids
this way, it's so important.

And Krystle would have been proud
of you too.

Thank you.

Did Fallon say
what time she'd be back?

She should be back soon.

Well, you see, I thought she might like
to see these pictures.

- Would you give them-J?
- Why don't you give them to her?

Hello, Daddy.

Fallon.

I'll go check on the kids.

How are you?

Okay.

Oh, I...

I was looking at these this morning

and I thought
that you might like to see them.

The wedding.

- Krystle looked so beautiful.
- Yes.

And that was the last time
that we all were together.

I mean, as a family.

We seem to have lost that.

Because of my stupidity, right?

I know that you think
that I've been unfair.

You treated me like a child
who stayed out past curfew.

I only wanted you to see
what that Zorelli character was doing,

how he was using you.

I'm sorry, but he wasn't.

Fallon,

it doesn't matter now.

The only thing that's important
is for you to come back home.

- Thanks, but I enjoy being an adult.
- Damn it.

I go where I please,
with whom I please.

Listen to this. Just listen.

You'd think
that we didn't love each other.

I never meant to hurt you.

Of course you didn't.

We both made mistakes.

But come home with me now,
please.

You're sure?

No, I'll be right there.

- Mrs. Colby.
- Yes.

Maintenance just called,

there's smoke leaking
from that furnace down the cellar.

- Smoke?
- Yes.

And Alexis Colby
might be down there.

She asked for the keys
to the storage room about an hour ago.

Did she?

Oh.

First you blow up my ships.

- Is the hotel next?
- It could be.

Mrs. Colby, that furnace is dangerous.
It's been blocked for months.

Well, thank you for telling me.

Put that out
before we all go up in flames.

You are quite mad, aren't you?

You have no life of your own, so you
come to Denver to try and take mine.

First my hotel, then my ships...

And you're drunk.

Well, that may be.

But tomorrow I'll be sober
while you, alas, will still be you.

Wait a minute.

Isn't that-J?

Don't touch my things.

- Where did this come from?
- Don't touch my things, Sable.

- That painting, where did you get it?
- Mind your bloody business.

Roger Grimes.

Yes. Roger Grimes.

A present from Roger to Alexis,
with love.

A word I doubt you're familiar with.

What's the matter, cousin?

Did I hit a nerve?

- It's w*r crimes, isn't it?
- What?

w*r crimes.

The family was involved
in w*r crimes.

That's it, isn't it?

The collection.

It's n*zi treasure.

How did you find out?

That painting Alexis has,
it's a Friedrich Stahl.

Now, h*tler admired Stahl's work,

so he stole everything
the man ever painted.

I mean, from galleries, museums,
off the living room walls of the people

that he had shuttled
into concentration camps.

And none of his paintings
were ever seen again.

Until today.

And where did you see it?

In the storage room of The Carlton.

Alexis said
that Roger Grimes gave it to her.

Grimes?

Is that all Alexis has
is just that one painting?

Well, I don't know, that's all I saw.

Then it all must be connected.

I thought that everything
that happened

was just a bizarre coincidence.

But Grimes' body preserved
for all those years,

so close to where the collection
was buried.

Those two things must be tied
together.

Forgive me, Blake,
but I must ask you.

Your father and the others,

did they help the Nazis?

I have to let Dex know
about that painting.

I'll call a meeting for tonight.

I'd like you to come.

I think you deserve
a full explanation.

- Is this satisfactory?
- Yes, this is fine.

- We'll have some iced tea?
- Fine.

We'll have two iced teas.

- And I'd like some aspirin, please.
- Certainly.

Mother,
how well did I know Roger Grimes?

Fallon, not that again.

You were a child,
you hardly knew him.

But I know things about him.

Things I shouldn't know.

- Like what?
- His voice.

I can hear it so clearly.

And...

Did he have a tattoo?

A tattoo?


On his back. A snake.

How did you know about that?

Oh, I know.

The men used to come up
to the house after work sometimes,

and swim, you probably saw him
in the swimming pool.

Maybe, but...

Could I have seen him with you?

Well, perhaps you could, he came up
to the house quite often.

No, I mean...

With you.

Fallon, give me more credit
than that.

I could have walked in and...

Found us in bed together?

These dreams you've been having
are twisting your mind.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome. And your aspirin.

- Will there be anything else?
- No, that's fine.

Fallon, I had an affair with Roger
and your father m*rder*d him.

That's what happened.

I'm not gonna argue with you
about what Daddy did or didn't do.

Okay, just tell me this.

Could I have ever been with him
alone?

I mean, you say he was
a wonderful man, maybe he was,

but I know he did something
that scared me.

I hope you're not suggesting
that he molested you.

My God, Fallon, if I thought
he'd done anything like that, I would...

Sometimes nice men
do terrible things.

You mean, like your father?

Roger Grimes didn't come near you.

I'll stake my life on that.

All I wanted to know...

That's enough, Fallon.

You're so wound up about
what he might have done to you.

Just think about what we did to him.

Your father m*rder*d him
and now you're trying to vilify him.

Now he's dead, for God's sake,
let him rest in peace.

- I'm almost ready.
- Great.

Uh...

You said we were
going to a charity ball.

I'm sorry. I thought I told you,
the dance at the centre is for the kids.

And I'm dressed for cocktails
with the queen.

Oh, I think you look very handsome.

Do you think we could drive back
to my apartment so I can change?

I can't. Tanner is already on his way
over to pick me up... To pick us up.

Tanner? Now, wait a minute.
What am I, a chaperone?

- Oh, come on, Jeffrey, be a sport.
- Sport?

You asked me to take you
to a formal charity event

that ends up being a sock hop for kids
and you've already got a date.

Tanner is not my date.

- Why don't you call Monica?
- Monica?

Your sister, remember?
We could all go out together.

- You think this is funny, don't you?
- No, I think you're funny.

Will you get that? And be nice.

"Be nice."

- Hello, Jeff.
- Tanner.

Tanner, you're right on time.

Oh, Samantha Josephine.

- I think you'd better sit down.
- Why?

Sammy Jo?

What is this?

Why are you dressed like that?

I'm a priest.

I noticed that right away.

You never said anything.

Well, I bet you two have a hell of...

Heck of a lot to talk about.

Aren't you coming with us?

No, I think she'll be in safe hands
tonight.

Don't keep her out too late,
Father.

I had no idea.

What are you doing here?

I have a key, remember?

- I'm calling security and having you...
- Alexis, damn it. I love you.

You have a very unusual way
of showing it.

- I know what you're feeling.
- Do you?

Do you really?

- Look, I was wrong.
- Ha.

- "I was wrong," he says. I was wrong.
- Yes, I was.

- But there are reasons that a man...
- What?

Sleeps with the worst enemy of
the woman that he says that he loves?

You have to know
what I'm going through.

I don't care
what you've been going through.

- Listen to me.
- Let go of me.

- I can't.
- Let me alone.

No. For once, you're gonna listen.

Now, I have put the last eight years
of my life on hold

- just so that I could be there for you.
- You always do exactly what you want.

When you ran for governor,

who was there
to help you hang campaign posters?

- Let me go.
- When Sean Rowan turned on you,

- who was there to pick up the pieces?
- I paid you for that.

- Paid?
- Yes, I gave you that piece of land.

What land? I wasn't interested
in that piece of land.

What I needed was proof that
I wasn't acting like a complete jackass.

Well, it'll take more
than a piece of paper to prove that!

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Maybe you are right.

Why the hell am I even here, huh?

Certainly not at my invitation.

You know why I did it?

Why I slept with Sable?

Because I was trying to break free
from you.

I never stopped you
from leaving me.

And you understand
how that makes me feel?

For a man to know
that he can leave?

To know that he probably should leave
but he's so much in love

that he stays?

No.

But I'll make it easy for you.

Get out, Dex.

- Alexis.
- Please, get out.

Not bad for a man of the cloth,
is he?

Priests aren't that different
from anyone else.

In most respects.

Isn't it unusual for a priest
to take a year off?

You have to realise what a year off
means in our line of work.

Even though Tanner is living
and working in the secular world,

he's still a priest.

The vows are still sacred.

I see.

And some men who take this leave
decide to leave the priesthood?

Some do.

It isn't easy for a man
to turn a deaf ear to his calling.

Of course the church
doesn't give up easily either.

Good tune.
Let's get something to eat.

Mm. Great spread.

Why don't you two dance?

Oh, no, I don't...

Oh, come on, it's a slow one.
It's just right for someone your age.

- Would you like to dance?
- All right.

Why is it these kids make me feel

like I keep my teeth in a glass
at the side of my bed?

I don't know.

I know you're wondering
why I didn't tell you.

You don't owe me any explanations.
It's okay. You're a priest.

Oh, I just didn't want it to,

you know, change anything.

What could it change?

You know, it's kind of funny.

I was thinking about how we met.

Me busting into your hospital room,
thinking you were somebody else.

Now we're even.

I thought
you were somebody else too.

It all stared with my father.

He ran a shipping line
back in the early ' s.

He was approached and asked
to transport some German scholars

to South America.

Scholars? You mean w*r criminals.

The official word was that these people
were facing persecution

by the communists.

Anyway, for arranging their transport,
he was paid in artwork,

supposedly owned by these people.

So the collection consists of more
than just Friedrich Stahl's paintings?

Oh, yes, there's jewellery and gold and
sculpture and other paintings as well.

Then when your father needed a place
to hide it all,

there was the Colterion
mining project.

Yes, that's where Sam Dexier
and Jason came in.

I don't think either one of them knew
about the origins of this collection,

but evidently,
they didn't ask questions either.

Sounds like Jason.

Sable, when Blake found out
what was really going on,

he confronted the others
and they agreed to get rid of it.

Now, what I don't understand is why
you just didn't blow it up to begin with.

It wasn't our treasure.

I suppose in the back of our minds
was the idea

that somehow we would put it back
into the hands of the victims' families.

It certainly didn't belong to the animals
that k*lled for it.

And...

And I'm pretty sure

that it was my father
who k*lled Roger Grimes.

What? BLAKE: Yes.

He insisted on disposing
of the collection himself

and so he was the one
who took charge of moving it

and sealing it down in that mine.

Roger Grimes happened to be
on the property at the same time.

So you think that Grimes stumbled
across the treasure,

helped himself,

went back for some more
and your father k*lled him?

If this is true,

then there's no reason for you
to confess to Roger Grimes' m*rder.

What?

If we could convince the police
that it was your father, Tom,

- who m*rder*d Grimes...
- No, I can't do that.

- Why not?
- It's the reputation of our families

that is at stake here.

Don't you see?
I don't care about Grimes.

It's the origins of the collection.
That must remain a secret.

Proving that my father k*lled Grimes
will just open up this whole ugly story

and ruin our families
for generations.

- Blake, we have a chance...
- No!

What Tom Carrington did must
remain buried with that collection.

No, Jeff, we've gotta make
that dive tonight.


I know it's risky,
but we've got to take that chance.

I've gotta see
what's at the bottom of that lake.

All right. Good.

Now you get the equipment
and we'll meet in exactly two hours.

All right. Bye.

Come in.

Dad?

Adam.

I know I'm the last person you
wanna see, but I think we need to talk.

- About what?
- I was wrong.

What I did to Virginia was wrong
and what I said to you was wrong.

And I can't tell you how sorry I am.

I don't know why I do these things.

I don't mean to hurt anyone.

I tried to be a son
you could be proud of.

I worked hard.

Sometimes I don't know, sometimes
the pressure gets to be too much.

I know about pressure.

Now, what do you want?

I've been spending some time
with Mother.

You should know that she wants me
to try and get back into the house,

back onto your good side.

To do what? Spy for her?

Actually, yes. I'm not suggesting
that you take me back.

But there is something else
you should know.

- She found a witness.
- A witness for what?

An old man
named Elsworth Chisolm,

who used to work on
the mining project in the late ' s,

claims he saw you carrying
Roger Grimes' body into the mine

before it was flooded.

And has he gone to the police
with that story?

No, not yet.

I could arrange for you to talk to him,
if you like.

Why are you telling me all this,
Adam?

You're my father.

And I don't wanna see you thrown
in jail.

That's all.

"FALLON". I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to pull you away from work.


That's okay,
so I take a long lunch.


I'm entitled every now and then
to eat.

Come on, talk to me.

I'm not really sure
if it was Roger Grimes

or my grandfather.

Your grandfather?

You know with dreams,
you think it's one person,

- all of a sudden, it's somebody else.
- Yeah, go on.

Well, in the dream, we were down
in these tunnels.

It was dark.

I couldn't find my way out.

I guess it was kind of a maze.

It's hard to remember.

I heard my grandfather's voice.

What was he saying?

He said...

- I don't know.
- Try to remember, Fallon.

- What did your grandfather tell you?
- I can't do this.

- Come on, Fallon, try to remember.
- No. I don't wanna do this. I can't!

- Okay, it's okay. It's okay. We...
- No, it's not okay.

Please don't make me remember.

All right. All right.

He was there.

Who was there, Fallon?

Grimes or your grandfather?

Oh, God.

Hello, Alexis,
glad to see you've sobered up.

Well, now my hangover's arrived.

Go away.
Catch a mouse or something.

- No, we have things to discuss.
- I have nothing to say to you.

Then you will listen
to what I have to say to you

and I don't intend discussing this
again.

Drop this Roger Grimes nonsense.
Leave Blake alone.

Or what?

What will you do, cousin?
Stamp your foot? Throw a tantrum?

Before he so suddenly retired,
Fritz Heath,

your company comptroller, gave us
some very interesting information.

Details of a stupidly clumsy
takeover attempt

by your late husband Sean.

Now, the company he was cheating
doesn't know about it yet.

But when you tell them, I'll be sued.

No, you'll be ruined.

Oh, dear, why don't I just give you
the keys of Colbyco,

so you can take it over yourself?

I give UP-

I'm offering you the opportunity

to salvage what is left
of your crumbling finances if...

lf I leave Blake alone.

That's right.

Listen to me, cousin.

You are a lonely desperate woman.

So starved for the affection of
a man,

any man, that you'll do anything
to get him to throw you a bone

including
this pathetic grandstand play.

No more playing, Alexis.

The game's over.

Well, call up your lawyers. Call out
the National Guard if you have to.

Because I've got Blake exactly
where I want him.

And his ugly secret will not be a secret
for much longer.

He's been down there a long time.

Dex is an experienced diver,
he'll find the entrance.

It'll be okay.

Is it?

I wonder.

Collection's been buried down there
for years, it's where it belongs.

We made that decision
because we had good reasons.

But sometimes I get the feeling
that it's out of our hands.

- What do you mean?
- Roger Grimes and my father.

Everything that's happened
these past few months.

All puts a spotlight on this place.

All leads to the collection.

But maybe it was supposed to be
that way all along.

He's coming up.

We've got a problem.

Couldn't you find the seal?

I found it, all right. It's open.

Open? How can that be?

The Vault's been opened,
somebody blew the seal.

That's Gibson. Did you go inside?

No, I came up for another t*nk.

My God.

It'll all come out now.

Everything -
