Original subtitles

Oh. My favourite hotel suite in the whole world.

And it hasn't changed a bit. Hm.

Thank you, darling,

for getting that would-be ltalian film star out, and us in.

Well, I did have to twist the arm of nearly every corporate contact I have.

- But if it makes you happy, Alexis... - Oh, it does, it does.

Amanda, darling, why don't you take a nap before dinner?

I've got a lot of phone calls to make.

I didn't realise that wedding arrangements

could be quite so exhausting.

All right, I could use a rest.

- I'll call you before dinner. - Okay.

Mr. Pryor, thank you for all you've done.

Wedding arrangements.

Yes. Doesn't it have a lovely ring to it?

Church bells and choir boys.

Why have you changed your mind, Alexis? Decided to marry me.

Darling, it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind.

Oh, Dex, you look awfully jet-lagged. Why don't you take a little nap and-?

Oop. You said you would explain as soon as we were alone.

Okay, here we are. Just the two of us.

Why'd you change your mind?

And why were you so anxious to get Amanda out of Denver?

I don't wanna lose Amanda to Blake and his obsessive behaviour.

And I wanna marry you

because I finally realised that I really am in love with you.

So much.

Do you love me too?

Ah, yes. I love you and I wanna marry you.

More than ever, I want to marry you.

Come on, boy. Come on.

Allegree is up on the outside

to take the lead and pull away.

Come on, boy. Come on.

But it's Allegree way up front.

Allegree, by a length and a half.

Oh, he did it, Blake. He won.

Yes, he did. What'd you expect?

He's happy to be back here in Denver running again.

He must have known that you were watching him.

Allegree, who's copped his third big purse in the past month,

will amazingly be put up for sale at auction

by his owners The Delta Rho Corporation,

at an auction here at the Delta Rho Farms.

A little bit about this amazing horse's background-

Blake, why in the world would anybody wanna sell him?

We did.

Well, yes, but we needed the money then.

Well, maybe the Delta Rho people see a quick cash flow now.

Do you know what we're going to do?

We're gonna go to that horse auction and I'm going to buy him back for you.

Oh, Blake, I appreciate the offer.

You know how much I love Allegree, but can we afford that now?

Yes. Yes, I can handle it.

Denver-Carrington isn't what it used to be, not yet,

but I can afford it.

- Darling- - Come on, now, now, now.

No arguments.

It's so good to be able to laugh with you again.

I don't function very well when we're at odds with one another.

All right, then, it's agreed, we get Allegree back.

I've been wanting to buy you something special anyway

for having our baby.

And besides, it's Christmas time.

Oh, Blake.

Monsieur Reece, he won again this afternoon.

The way he ran, a formidable animal like this,

you know I must have him.

Be at the auction, Monsieur La Salle, you'll have your chance.

Bye.

What did Mr. La Salle have to say?

That he wants Allegree, no matter what the price.

- That was a beautiful race. - Real beautiful, Charles.

- Sure you wanna sell that horse? - I'd rather not,

but if I'm gonna concentrate on Arabians, I've gotta do it.

Well, you'll get a pretty penny for it.

Mr. La Salle's gonna have to bid a lot higher than he expected though.

Word on the street is that Blake Carrington

- will pay a bundle for that horse. - Who?

- Blake Carrington. Do you know him? - Well, I know the name.

- Oil, as in Denver-Carrington. - Oh, yeah.

- He used to own Allegree. - Oh, yeah?

I hear he'll pay anything to get that horse for his wife.

For his wife?

Must be a great marriage. Or a damned shaky one.

Well, good for Mr. Carrington.

Let's see if he follows through at the auction.

A modelling agency tells you

Birgit Helstrom was running around Los Angeles and Seattle with De vilbis,

and now you're convinced that Fallon's alive.

I'm sorry, Jeff, I just don't think so.

Maybe she was suffering from amnesia.

Why else would she say she was married to De vilbis?

I wish so much that you would stop living in the past.

Nicole, it's not the past. I know she's alive.

And- And it's Christmas.

If she can, I know she'll try and reach us.

Jeff...

I wasn't just pretending before when I told you how much I care about you.

So why shouldn't we just forget

about those two people who made our lives miserable?

Why can't we try and build a brand-new future for ourselves, together?

Help me find Peter's half of the map, and the statue.

It could mean a beautiful future for us. A fortune.

For God's sakes, Nicole, I'm not interested in money.

Don't you know that by now?

That's right, you're a Colby. To the oil-fields born, huh?

How could I forget?

All right, when we get back to Denver, I'll help you look for that map.

But for one reason and one reason only.

Because it might lead to Fallon.

Yes.

Kristina is remarkable.

She's gaining weight, and her progress is excellent.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, Paul, we'll be down in a couple minutes.

Oh, look at her, Blake. Isn't she beautiful?

It's not just her looks-

Although she really is her mother's daughter.

Oh.

- it's her character and her strength and her will.

I think she's gonna be home very, very soon too.

A lot sooner than we'd dared hope for.

Goodbye, my little darling.

Now, you keep gaining weight so you can come home.

Let's tell them this.

I'm willing to fund the new hospital programme for $6 million,

but on the condition that-

What is it, sir?

Mr. Reece?

Yeah. Nothing.

It's just that woman...

No, no, it couldn't possibly...

Hello?

Mr. Carrington.

Well, I finally tracked you down.

How have you been, Amanda?

Good.

Oh, I'm fine. Krystle and the baby are fine too. Just wonderful.

Is you mother there with you right now?

No, I'm alone.

Well, I don't know quite how to say this but I have some interesting news.

What sort of news?

The detective's report came in a little while ago

and it leads me to believe that we may know who your father is.

Oh, my God, how wonderful. I can't believe it.

Well, I don't think either one of us ought to believe it quite yet.

Amanda, I would like you to do something for me.

Well, anything.

Would you come back to Denver and take a blood test?

I know it won't prove anything definitely, but at least it's a start.

Amanda, did you hear me?

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's just that there's nothing in the world that would make me happier

than to have you as my father.

About the test, I'll be back as soon as the wedding's over.

What wedding?

- Well, didn't Mommy tell you? - No, she didn't.

Oh.

Well, that's fine, just as long as you come back soon.

Oh, I will be. I'll be on the first plane back to Denver.

Will you send my love to the family?

Goodbye.

MAN Ladies and gentlemen, please take your places

as the auction will commence in five minutes.

Mr. La Salle, if I were you, I'd pay particular attention to Number 20.

- It's an outstanding horse. Hmm.

- Madame. - Mm.

Uh, Charles, who's that?

That's the man I was telling you about. That's Blake Carrington.

No, no, no, I mean the woman.

That's Krystle Carrington, his wife.

What's the matter?

I want you to pull Allegree out of the auction.

He's no longer for sale.

Mr. Reece, we can't do that.

We have breeders that have come from halfway around the world

for a chance at that horse. They'll tear the place apart.

Do it.

Your attention please. Item Number 20, Allegree,

has been regrettably removed from today's auction.

You pull Allegree out of the auction and now you wanna sell him to me.

- Why? - You used to own him.

What's that got to do with anything?

You gave him to your wife as a present, I understand.

I still don't see what you're getting at.

I understand too, that she sold him

to help you out of some financial difficulties.

I didn't come here for a discussion of my personal life, Mr. Reece.

Now, I've got my wife waiting for me. Either get to the point, or I have to go.

Such loyalty in a marriage is unusual in my experience.

I've certainly never had it, but it should be rewarded.

So if your wife wants Allegree back, she should have him.

Forgive me if I find this somewhat difficult to believe.

I'm just not used to a man in your position making a gesture like that.

You're a man in my position, Mr. Carrington.

Haven't you ever been guilty of a quixotic moment in your life?

You either want Allegree, or you don't.

If you don't, ha, ha, I can certainly make other arrangements.

What was that all about?

Oh, just a business proposition. Something I have to think about.

I should think it should be obvious to you by now, Amanda,

that Rosalind is out of town.

She always goes to Scotland at this time of the year.

But don't you want Rosalind to come to your wedding?

Of course I do, darling.

But I don't intend to postpone the ceremony while we track her down.

The dates are set, Amanda.

Dex and I are getting married in Mersham,

and then we're leaving for a couple of days honeymoon at Castle Frayne.

Then the three of us are going to go on a wonderful cruise of the Caribbean.

Dex is making all the arrangements now.

But it's your honeymoon.

Amanda, I told you, Castle Frayne is the honeymoon.

The cruise is a family holiday.

Maybe you'd enjoy it if you invited a few of your friends to join us.

Surely there must be some special man,

a young beau that you'd like to ask.

No, there's no one.

Well, Amanda, you and l may be mother and daughter,

but that's where the resemblance ends. When I was your age-

If you don't mind, I'd rather not hear about your early sex life.

Well, I was going to exaggerate it beyond all credibility

to try and bring a smile to your face.

What happened to your smile, Amanda, that beautiful smile?

Darling.

Your coming along would mean so much to me.

It would make up for all the time that was lost between us.

And it would make me so happy.

Your wedding present to me.

All right, I'll come.

Good.

Are you gonna go through with the wedding

after what happened between us?

Well, what happened, Amanda, was unfortunate.

I regret every moment.

But I have no intention of letting a single incident with you

ruin the one relationship that matters in my life.

And that's Alexis?

Alexis.

And forget about me and my feelings?

I won't forget you.

I can't forget you.

Then you do care for me.

I do. very much.

Then you'll stop the wedding? You won't go through with it.

Amanda, if circumstances were different...

I hate you. I loathe you.

Dearly beloved,

we are gathered together in the sight of God

and in the face of this company

to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony,

which is an honourable estate instituted of God,

signifying unto us the mystic union between Christ and his Church.

And it is therefore not by any to be taken unadvisedly or lightly,

but rather discreetly, soberly and in the fear of God.

Into this holy estate,

these two persons present come now to be joined.

If any man knows any lawful cause why they not be joined together,

Iet him now speak or forever after hold his peace.

I require and charge you both, here in the presence of God,

that if either of you know any reason

why you may not be united in marriage lawfully

and in accordance with God's word, you do now confess it.

Claudia,

what's wrong?

What's been wrong?

You've been upset ever since I got back from California.

Is it Luke Fuller, because I went to Santa Barbara with him?

No, of course not.

Well, then what is it?

You're the one who always insists on openness and honesty in our marriage.

Why don't you tell me?

Steven, l, um...

I slept with another man while you were away.

Who?

I asked you a question, Claudia. I want an answer.

Who?

Dean Caldwell.

Steven.

I've been desperately lonely.

It won't happen again.

I promise you.

Please,

say that you believe me.

- And that I understand? - Yes.

And that you forgive me.

Aren't I man enough for you, Claudia?

Oh, darling, of course you are.

I love you. I love you.

Leave me alone. Just leave me alone.

Steven.

Now will you tell me what we're doing here?

- Allegree. - Merry Christmas, darling.

Oh! Ha-ha-ha.

Oh, Blake.

Oh, Blake, next to Kristina,

this is the most beautiful gift you've ever given me.

I don't understand. How did you get him?

The owner and l came to an agreement.

Oh. It's gonna be a merry Christmas.

Isn't it, Allegree?

Mr. Reece, here are the two back issues of the Chronicle you asked for.

This layout in the Melbourne News is bad, really amateur.

See that Johnson straightens up or we get a new managing editor.

Still going through with your plans to buy the Baylor chain in Florida?

Yes, wrap that one up. All seven newspapers.

Oh, uh, Mr. Reece, the Carringtons were just here.

They collected Allegree.

Good.

And as you instructed, I scheduled our flight for 8:00 tonight.

Cancel that.

But you're expected in Monte Carlo for Christmas.

I won't be in Monte Carlo for Christmas. I'll be here.

What about your plans to go skiing in St. Moritz?

Cancel that.

And the board meeting in London in two weeks?

I'll have to make that one. But I'm coming right back.

Mr. Reece, uh, forgive me for asking this, but what is going on here?

I mean, first your behaviour with Allegree,

and now cancelling these plans.

Heh. You think I've lost my mind, huh, Charles?

I asked you a question.

Well, I think it's a little out of character, yes. For Daniel Reece.

Maybe you're right, Charles.

Maybe you're right.

Thank God you're here. I've been trying to find you for days.

So where is your mother now, darling?

Somewhere in the wilds of Westmoreland, honeymooning.

Meanwhile, I'm positive she took my passport before she left.

Rosalind, help me, what should I do?

Oh. Well, I'd say wait the two days

until she returns with her husband, Amanda.

But I don't want to wait.

I want to get away from both of them as soon as- As soon as possible.

What's really troubling you, my dear?

You used to confide in me.

When you were just a little bit of a girl, just this high.

All those years you were growing up.

Has even that changed?

How can I confide in you, after you lied to me all those years?

I had no choice, Amanda.

But I love you. You know that.

I couldn't love you more even if you were my own daughter.

I know that. I do.

Oh, I wish- I wish that I could make up

for all the pain you've gone through these past months.

- You can. - How?

My father.

Oh, what about him?

Tell me who he is.

Rosalind, you have to know. Alexis must have told you.

No, no, she never did.

Rosalind, please tell me.

Please.

Merry Christmas, little one.

- Her first. - Only the first of many.

Blake, I'm sorry that you and l had to go through so much pain

before we could be this happy.

Merry Christmas, darling.

Amanda? What are you doing sitting here alone in the dark?

Waiting to see you.

Dex, would you excuse us?

Darling, I'd like to have a few moments alone with Amanda. Is that all right?

- I'll be in the bar. - Mm.

Well, what a charming welcome.

What's the matter with my petulant little daughter?

Let's just say that I don't appreciate your stealing my passport.

Stealing your passport? Don't be ridiculous.

Oh, you never touched it?

Well, you left it laying around

so I put it in the safety-deposit box with my jewellery.

Good.

Then you and l will go down to the lobby now,

and you'll give me back my passport.

Amanda, I don't have to accompany you, you're not a child.

You can give this to the desk clerk. Tell him I gave it to you.

If there's any problems, give me a ring.

Fine.

Amanda, what's your hurry? I mean, why do you need it tonight?

Where do you think you're going when you have it?

Back to Denver. To my father, Blake Carrington.

Yes, Rosalind told me.

And if you do anything to harm her, anything,

I'll make your life miserable. I swear it. I will.

Blake, I just dropped by to say thank you

for inviting me to spend Christmas with you and the family.

Brady's off to Tokyo and it would have been a very lonely holiday for me.

Well, that's what partners are for. Sit down, won't you?

Partners, yes. I'd say I've been a good partner.

I've handed over millions to salvage Denver-Carrington,

I've put my marriage to Brady in jeopardy,

I risked my life in lstanbul.

I would say that I've been a pretty good partner, Blake.

Oh, you're much, much more than that. I think you're an excellent partner.

But that isn't enough.

I want you to finally acknowledge me as your half sister.

Or-

Or you will make the acknowledgement for me. In public.

I'm glad you understand.

You release that story to the papers and I'll deny it. I have no alternative.

And I'll come out of it all right, and you, you will have gained nothing.

But it is the truth.

Is it? That is just the point: Is it?

Yes, it is, damn it. Yes, it is.

Why don't you find the only person in the world who can confirm that truth?

I'm way ahead of you. It took quite a while and it wasn't easy,

but I've already tracked down my father.

He told me that he has slept with a lot of women in his time,

but your mother was not one of them.

He is lying.

He's lying. You know the kind of man he's always been.

The lying cheat he's always been, but do you believe him? Do you?

Dominique, I am very grateful for all that you have done.

And half sister or not, I think you're quite an extraordinary woman.

And I'm proud to have you as my partner.

Can't you accept just that?

No. No.

Because one way or another,

I am going to make you accept the truth.

- "lt was early that first Christmas morning

when the young drummer boy turned to his mother

and told her about a beautiful dream he'd had during the night.

He dreamed that the king had sent a special messenger

to ask him to play his drum at the royal Christmas party."

- Wow. - Yeah. Gosh.

It's- Hi, Steven.

- Claudia. - Hi, Daddy.

- How you doing there, ace? - Fine.

He's really into a Christmas story.

Well, then maybe I'll read him one.

- You been a good boy? Are you sure? - Mm-hm. Yeah.

I'd like to be alone with my son, Claudia.

- I love you. - Love you too.

Have you been looking in your stocking?

Mm-mm.

Okay then, you get a story. Come on.

Hello, Amanda.

Gerard told me that you were here. That you wanted to see me.

Yes.

What is it, child? What's the matter?

I have something to tell you, but...

But what?

I'm suddenly afraid to.

Oh, come on now, you don't have to be frightened, not with me.

Rosalind told me that you are my father.

Oh.

Oh, Amanda.

What did she say?

Well, she told me that when Alexis came to Switzerland,

she was pregnant.

And she confided to her that you were the father.

But that no one should know. Not ever.

Well, I knew. I knew from the first moment I saw you.

The very first moment.

And I wanted you to be my father so desperately.

I am, darling. I am.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, everybody.

Merry Christmas, Little Danny and Little Blake.

How are you? Ho, ho!

Come on, follow me. Ho, ho, ho!

Ho, ho, ho! Ooh, look at that. Say thank you.

- Come on back here now. - Thank you.

Let's see what we got.

You're welcome. Merry Christmas. What do you have there?

Look at that, it's a baseball glove.

We're gonna play some catch tomorrow.

- Hey, that's a good-looking mitt. Yeah. Oh. Ha, ha.

What do you got?

- Huh? Is that nice? Now that is a terrific truck.

- Lookit, the back opens. - Yeah.

Well, now one for Blake.

All right, I love opening presents.

Oh, my.

That's beautiful.

Oh. What a lovely painting of Fallon.

It's the most wonderful,

most thoughtful gift that I've ever gotten.

Or ever will get.

Thank you, darling.

Did you see this?

Krystle, what a wonderful idea.

That's Mommy.

Yes, that's Mommy.

I love you, Mommy.

Can she hear me even in heaven?

Yes, she can hear you wherever she is.

Steven, would you mind putting this over there please? Thank you.

Oh, nanny, would you mind taking the children up? It's rather late.

Ho, ho. And I'll help. Ho, ho! - You go with Santa now.

Good night, Danny. Good night, Little Blake.

- Good night, everybody. Good night.

Merry Christmas. - Good night.

Good night, Little Blake.

I'll be up in a few minutes, Danny.

Ho, ho, ho! Ho, ho, ho!

Claudia,

I'm sorry for what I said last night.

Is this your Christmas present to me? A holiday beau geste.

I am sorry. I was just feeling-

Steven, don't apologise. What you said was true.

Danny's your son. He's not mine.

Attention please.

Everybody, please, attention.

I have a very special announcement to make

while all of the family is gathered here. It's an important moment for all of us.

I'd like to propose a toast, a very special toast,

to a new addition to the Carrington family.

To my daughter, Amanda Carrington.

To you, darling, welcome to our house and to our hearts.

Welcome, Amanda.

Steven, did you know about this?

That's the first I've heard.

What a wonderful surprise. - Welcome.

- Thanks. That's great.

Oh, yes.

It's going to be rather nice to have a daughter around the house once again.

- What was that all about? - I don't know.

But I don't trust her. She wants something from Father.

Wants what?

I don't know yet. But I'm gonna find out.

Let's find out together.

Amanda, dear, this is for you,

- with love. - Oh.

Oh, Daddy, thank you. It's beautiful.

So much for Daddy.

How about a Christmas kiss for your mother, darling?

Merry Christmas, Mommy. - Oh, merry Christmas, darling.

Well, I suppose you all know that Dex and I were married in England.

And that explains your glow. Merry Christmas, mother.

Oh. Thank you. Merry Christmas, darling.

- Alexis, I'm so happy for you. Thank you.

Best wishes, both of you.

- We finally did it. Congratulations.

Beautiful bride and a lucky groom.

Oh, yes, he is lucky, isn't he? Ha, ha.

All right, Amanda.

Get your gifts together. They're expecting us at the apartment.

I've been invited to stay here, and I'm staying.

Well, I'm cancelling that invitation, however kind and paternal it may be.

I insist that you come home with me.

Alexis, our daughter is not a child. She can make up her own mind

whether she wants to stay or whether she wants to go.

Obviously, she wants to stay.

And she can, for as long as she wants.

In this house that you've lured her to.

What the devil are you talking about anyway?

You'll stop at nothing, will you, Blake?

Isn't it enough that you've robbed me of my other children?

Must you take this one too?

The only one that's mine to love, completely.

I've had enough of this.

You say your goodbyes and we're going home right now.

You speak to her, Dex.

She doesn't seem to hear me.

We want you to come home with us, Amanda.

Both of us.

- Wonderful party last night, wasn't it? - Yes, it was.

Thank you. I just wish Kristina could have been here with us.

Yes.

But having your children and their children, it was very nice.

Just toast for me this morning, please, Elizabeth.

What is it, darling? Upset about Amanda?

Oh, of course not.

She's your daughter, Blake, and she's always welcome.

But does that mean that our door is open to her mother as well?

No. Alexis had no business barging in like that.

But she always does.

This was our party, Blake, for our family.

Well, she is Amanda's mother.

And you know her well enough to know that she will go anywhere

and do anything to control her children.

If I hadn't let Amanda go with her last night,

Alexis would still be here this morning.

Excuse me, this just arrived for you, Mrs. Carrington.

Oh, thank you, Gerard.

That man Reece, is his first name Daniel?

Yes. Why?

I used to know a Daniel Reece.

Is that the same man?

Yes, it is.

He was my sister's boyfriend.

What was he to you?

What do you mean?

Well, I mean, why would he give you something like this?

Oh, it was taken at his company picnic. I went with lris and him one year,

but I don't know why he would give it to me-

No, no, I'm not talking about the photograph,

I'm talking about the frame. Do you know what this is worth?

What are you talking about?

Well, it's not just tin and cut glass. It's worth several thousand dollars.

- Well, that's impossible. - Is it?

I assure you it's worth all of that and more.

I think it might be a good idea if you returned it.

Of course I'm going to return it.

What do you think I intended to do with it?

Well, I don't know what you intend to do with it,

I'm merely suggesting what I think you ought to do with it.

Well, I don't need you telling me what to do.

I am not telling you what to do with it.

It certainly sounds like it to me.

Where are you going?

Blake, just once, trust me to deal with my own life.

Merry Christmas, Krystle. It's good to see you.

Really good to see you.

I'm here to return this.

How dare you come back into my life after what you did?
