Blake,
l had a messenger bring this over.

lt's hitting the newsstands today.

World f�nance, huh?
From the look on your face,

l'd say we should
cancel our subscription.

Well, the man on the cover's
vey handsome,

but l'm afraid
it's an ugly article inside.

lt certainly doesn't surprise me.

Blake, Gordon Wales says that l ty
to defend you and that's not true.

l said you didn't need defending
in the China Sea venture-

Darling,
you could've told the man anything.

He was out to do a hatchet iob,
regardless of what you said.

Apparently, he succeeded.

l'm sory,
l should've handled him better.

- Maybe-
- Gordon Wales is a hack writer.

Don't you waste your time
worying about him.

But you're worried, aren't you?

Well, right now,
l'm more anxious than l am worried.

Got a meeting with Avril Dawson
at the bank today.

To extend the loan?

l think we got a good chance.

See, with Dawson's bank holding
one half of the $1 OO million loan,

the other bank's holding
the remaining 50 million.

lt should fall in right behind Dawson.

Now, if he extends my loan,
so will the others.

And if they don't extend?

Then Denver-Carrington
belongs to the banks.

l iust hope that Dawson doesn't pass
any newsstands today.

Morning.

You should ioin me at La Mirage,
Alexis.

Tennis again?

There are more stimulating things
to do in life

than to watch you running
around the court in shorts.

Not me, Alexis.
My partner, Dex Dexter.

Much too busy,
but you boys have fun.

Too busy hatching plots?

- l don't hatch things, Mark.
- No?

Then what would you call your deal
with Rashid Ahmed in Hong Kong?

l thought you were leaving.

You're tying to ruin Blake, lady.

Why? Just more business?

l know you.
When it comes to Blake Carrington,

you won't stop with screwing up
his oil deal.

You're after something bigger
and better. What is it?

Listen to me, Mark Jennings.

l paid you $1 OO, OOO
to keep your mouth shut.

And you better do just that.

Hello.

Alexis, this is Kirby.

Yes, Kirby, what can l do for you?

l wanted to apologise
for my behaviour the other day.

Apology accepted. Is that it?

Well, l thought we could get together
again and finish our discussion.

As far as l'm concerned, Kirby,
it is finished.

We have nothing more
to say to each other.

Adam Carrington, please.

Mother, if, as you say,
Kirby lured you to that empty house,

she must have had a reason.

What possible reason could she have
for dragging me to her father's house

in that dreadful neighbourhood?

Why would you be meeting
with Kirby, anyway?

- That's not the point.
- Let's make it the point.

Why did she want to see you?

Well, l'd offered her a job in Paris.

You did what?

Adam,
it took me a long time to realise

that you were really serious
about marying this girl.

So l'd offered her the iob once before,
but she turned me down.

She said she changed her mind,
wanted to talk.

Well, there you are.

Kirby took you to the house
to discuss your offer.

Except she didn't talk about
the job offer.

She's spent the entire time
rambling on about her dead father.

Finally, l iust turned and walked out.
It didn't make any sense.

And that's what you had
to see me about?

Yes.

This girl is obviously as unbalanced
as her mother was.

Mother, l love Kirby.

l know her far better than you.

You nearly devastated her
with the truth about her mother.

Whatever she's going through now
is your fault.

- My fault?
- Yes.

Adam, l am tying to save you
from marying a vey sick girl.

Well
l don't need to be! saved by you.

Neither does Kirby.
Go rescue someone else.

From now on, stay out of our lives.

So Ilie hit a tremendous backhand
and l came back with a forehand.

- Into the stands.
- Mark.

Sory l'm late.
l'll change, meet you in a few minutes.

- No problem.
- Mr. Dexter?

You have a telephone call, sir.

- You can take it right over here.
- Thank you.

- See you up on Court 3.
- All right.

ls eveything okay?

That's a nice outfit you've got on.

- Hello, Fallon.
- Hi.

l hear La Mirage is bracing
for a big celebration.

Oh, a celebration, yes.

Not so big.
Just family and close friends, that's all.

All in your honour.

And Jeff's.

l suppose it's destiny,
you and Jeff remarying.

Well, l don't know what it is, Mark,
but it's happening.

There was a time when l thought
we were destined to be together.

That time we spent in Haiti.

- Mark-
- But Alexis didn't give us a chance.

ln fact, she ruined it for us.

Left alone,
we could've made it work, Fallon.

Mark,
Alexis put an end to something

that was probably
hopeless to begin with.

We should thank her
for saving us from ourselves.

Come in, gentlemen, come in.

Blake,
you're looking wonderfully well.

- Jeff.
- Avril.

- Please, sit down, won't you?
- Thank you.

Sory to have kept you waiting so long,
but l was on the phone with the boss.

Mrs. Dawson.

List of things for me
to bring home this evening.

Those are the phone calls
you've got to take.

- But you know that, Blake.
- Yes, l know how it is.

Either of you like a drink?

- No, thank you.
- Not for me, thank you.

ln the interest of time, Avril,

why don't we get right down
to business.

What's new on the extension
of my loan?

That's not a decision
that l can make, Blake.

l'm sory, but it isn't.

Now, you know vey well
that if you extend my loan,

the rest of those banks
will follow suit.

Blake, we're talking about
$1 OO million.

Fifty million dollars of it
from my bank alone.

l know for a fact that the other banks
elected you to represent them.

Right. But l can't make any decision
without consulting with them first.

And none of those other bankers,
including you,

have ever lost a penny
on Denver-Carrington and you know it.

You've made a lot of money
investing with Denver-Carrington.

True,
but this goes beyond investments.

We're talking about politics here.

What you have
are two conflicting armies

with their guns aimed at each other
and you right in the middle.

As you know,
we put certain conditions on your loan.

Yes, that l'd be into exploration
within 30 days,

or you could foreclose on me.

This says you can't do it, Blake.

My God, you've got a small naval force
anchored above your leases.

l have borrowed a lot more than
$1 OO million in my time

and l've paid back evey dime of it,
with interest.

Now, who are you going to trust,

some damn magazine or me?

Yes, well, that is the question
that l've got to put

to the other bankers, isn't it?

Here you are.

Darling, it's vey late.

l know. l'll be up shortly.

Why don't l join you instead?

l'm afraid
l'm not vey good company right now.

That's all right.
l can take you at your worst.

lsn't that what the minister said
at our wedding?

What is it, Blake?

ln the past, whenever l failed,

l could always turn things around,
always.

Failure just meant one thing for me:

Fight harder.

Be tougher.
Make sure evey lesson was learned.

lf nothing else,
l knew l could fight back and win.

But you're still the same man.
You haven't changed.

l wonder.

Been a week now
since l met with Avril Dawson.

Still no word
about extending those loans.

l have a feeling
they've turned me down.

What if they have? What then?

Then l've lost eveything.

Eveything?

When you first proposed to me,
Blake,

l remember your saying that-

That if l were uncomfortable

about the idea of being married
to a man with a great deal of money,

you'd give it all away.

l meant that.

And do you remember
what else you said?

That even if l did give it all away,

that l would find some way
to make it all back.

Whether it was the next year,
or the year after,

you could be sure
that l would make it all back.

Because that's the kind of man
you are.

And you're wiser and stronger
than you've ever been.

You're a winner.

And eveybody loves a winner.

Especially me.

Come in.

Hello, Alexis.

l expected l'd find you daydreaming
about your future bride.

Just a momentay lapse.

What can l do for you?

Well, l was in the neighbourhood

having a boring breakfast meeting
at the club

and l thought l'd pop in
and see my favourite son-in-law to be.

But we're gonna see you
at the party.

Oh, absolutely.

But privately, Jeff,
l just wanted to let you know

how thrilled l am
about you and Fallon.

Well, thank you, Alexis.
l appreciate that.

lt's so wonderful
to have something to celebrate

with all the bad news
floating around.

Bad news?

Yes. The mess that poor Blake's in.

So dreadful.

Well, l have a lot of faith in Blake.

l know you do.

But iust in case
things should go badly for him

and he tries
to drag you down with him,

l want you know
that l'll see that you're all right.

Blake's been in tough situations
before.

We still have room to manoeuvre.

Jeff, l appreciate your loyalty.

But l mean, eveybody's read
that World f�nance article.

Really? What are they saying?

Eveyone's vey curious
about the loan extensions

and whether they're going
to come through or not.

Of course, it's all coniecture,
because no one knows the facts.

Or do they?

Well, we'll iust have to wait and see,
won't we?

Yes.

Oh, Jeff, l really wish you'd stayed
at Colbyco where you belonged.

l understand
your reasons for leaving.

But that's all in the past now.

The only thing that's important is that
you and Fallon don't lose eveything

because of Blake's problems.

l'm not gonna lose anything
and neither is Blake.

We're going to win.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

l have a date with my beautiful
once-and-future bride.

As soon as l finish this paperwork.

What are you doing here?

l called in from the field this morning

and l was given this message
from you.

That's right.

From now on, if you have any business
that has to do with Lex-Dex,

it goes through me.

Well, first of all, Steven,
Alexis and l are partners, not you.

And secondly, nobody tells me
how to conduct my business,

least of all, mama's boy.

l'm second-in-command at Colbyco,

so the fact is you'll deal with me
or you'll deal with nobody,

because we both know
you've been dumped.

Nobody dumps me.

And nothing's over till l say it's over.

Listen, cowboy.

lf you need to prove your masculinity,
do it on somebody else's time.

Alexis Colby decides who she deals
with and who she doesn't,

so if you have any complaints,
take them to her.

l was told you were waiting for me,
Dex.

Had l known earlier,
l'd have stayed away longer.

There was a time
you couldn't stay away at all.

True, but times change.

l hear you received my message.

You heard wrong.
l received Steven's message.

l wanna hear it from you.

Look, Dex, l'm a vey busy woman.

l'm a vey busy man.

Together, our schedules fit just fine.

Past tense.

We don't fit at all.

We fit, Alexis.

Whether it's partners in business
or in bed.

We got something special
between us.

You can fight it all you want,
but it's there.

You can feel it.

l don't feel. l think.

l run my business and my life
the way l see fit

and if you don't like it,
then my offer still holds.

l can buy you out anytime.

Don't you see
what you're throwing away?

We had it all.

You're the most exciting woman
l've ever known.

And whether you want
to admit it or not,

l'm the best man you've ever had.

Don't waste it.

J
Well

you do have a way with lips.

But this is the wrong time
and the wrong place.

ln Hong Kong, you called me a slut.

Here, you dare to assume
that you can seal my life with a kiss.

Well, nobody owns me, Dex.

My mind and my body
belong to me alone.

lf you want ownership,

why don't you go and buy it
on the street where you belong?

Why don't you get out of here?

Mrs. Carrington.

Please, if you'll iust wait,
l'll tell your aunt you're here.

Tell my aunt anything you like.
l'll be in the nursey with my son.

Mrs. Carrington.

l thought you were in New York.

l was, but now l'm here,
to see Danny.

Alone.

Oh, yes, of course.

Hi.

Put that down.

Come here.

Oh, you feel wonderful.
Remember your mommy?

Why, it's Auntie Kystle.
What a nice surprise.

lt wouldn't have been a surprise,
Sammy Jo, if you'd called first.

l was getting ready to go to work.

And l know how you would have
regretted not being here to greet me.

Well, l'm here now.

Don't wory, lady.
You still have the run of the house.

l'm not planning on staying here.

l just came by to visit my baby.

Now, if you'll excuse us.

As a matter of fact, Mrs. Carrington,
we do have a suite available.

Here it is, at 400 a night.

Last-minute cancellation.

Four hundred.

Look, you've already registered me
in another room.

Why make more work for yourself?

Take Mrs. Carrington's luggage
to 212.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

l heard you were here. Why?

l'm a successful model now, Steven.

l can afford to do anything l wanna do
without having to answer for it.

But since you'll find out anyway,

l flew in from New York
to visit my son for the weekend.

The weekend.
Look, Sammy Jo, you can-

Steven,
first off, the name is Samantha.

Second, little Danny is gonna visit me
here in this hotel.

We're gonna spend the entire
weekend together, just the two of us.

Mother and son.

No, change that
to real mother and her son.

So get used to the idea.

And let Claudia get used to it too.

Steven, you can't iust turn
Danny over to her.

The reason that we moved in
with Blake and Kystle

was for Danny's safety.

There's no security like that here.

l know, but l can't keep her
from seeing him, Claudia.

Legally, she has evey right
to bring him back here with her.

lt was made vey clear
in the settlement,

l would have custody of Danny.

And she has unlimited
visiting privileges, l know.

But we never expected this.

She was in New York.
She wanted a career.

She couldn't have cared less
about Danny.

She made it vey clear.

The baby will visit her on her terms.

Maybe we could hire
our own security guards

to watch over him
while he's here at the hotel.

We could.

l've iust got this gut feeling that
handing Danny over to Sammy Jo

under any circumstances
could mean disaster.

l've been tying to find you all day.

When you work for me,

l want you to leave a number
where you can be reached at all times.

ls that understood?

l was working on an assignment
for you, Mrs. Colby.

What assignment?

To prepare an anniversay stoy
for Colbyco.

Bigger than the one l did
for Denver-Carrington.

Oh, yes. That's right.

But you can leave that
for the time being.

l've got something else for you
and this takes priority.

Sit down.

l did a little checking on you
before l hired you, Tracy.

Well, that doesn't surprise me.

l doubt whether a woman
like Tracy Kendall

is surprised by much
of anything anymore.

The assignment, Mrs. Colby.

You have certain-
How shall l say? -connections.

A political power broker
by the name of Eric Grayson.

Jeremy Thatcher.

A writer of dubious talent known
for his character assassinations

and an ad executive from New York.

What's the point of all this?

Men. Influential men.

Now, l'm not criticising you, Tracy.

Men have used women for centuries,
so why shouldn't it be our turn now?

Now l want you to use your charms
on one particular man.

A banker called Avril Dawson.
Do you know him?

By reputation only.

Well, the man
has some information that l need

and you're iust the woman
to get it from him.

So l want you to get it, personally.

ls that clear?

Vey clear.

l'll get on it first thing
tomorrow morning.

No. You'll get on it tonight.

Consider it overtime.

One thing about you, Auntie Kystle,

when you plan your battles, you do it
in the most civilised surroundings.

l have no desire to fight you,
Sammy Jo.

l understand your wanting
to see Danny.

But l guess my showing up
caught you by surprise.

Well, yes, it did.

But you're here
and you have evey right to see Danny.

And l want you to know

that you're welcome to spend
the weekend with us at the house.

ls that an invitation or a command?

What are you talking about?

The fact is eveybody is scared
to death to let Danny out of their sight.

Well, l'm his mother, Auntie Kystle.

And if l want to spend the weekend
with Danny at La Mirage, l'll do it.

What about him,
what's best for Danny?

What about him?

You may be his mother, Sammy Jo,
but he doesn't know you vey well.

He's used to his own environment.

And it would be better
for him and for you

to be together in a place
that he's familiar with.

Supervised by you, Blake, Steven,
precious Claudia

and the entire Carrington staff.

Oh, we'll see.

But whatever l choose to do, Auntie,
will be what l want.

Blake,
shouldn't you be getting ready?

l gave Avril Dawson
my private number.

l'm waiting for him to call.

He met with the other bankers today,
didn't he?

Yes, he did, and still no call.

Hello.

Sory to be so long
in getting back to you, Blake.

No apologies necessay, Avril.

Wish l had some good news for you,
l really do.

Then you're turning me down.

Not iust me, Blake.
The others as well.

l'm really sory, but l-

l don't need apologies,
l need an extension on that loan.

There's noth�ng more
l can do about �t, Blake.

That's it.

l'm sory, Blake.

l'm so sory.

You'll find a way.

You'll fight back and you'll win.

Not going to be easy,
but l'll do my damnedest.

l know you will.

Well, l might as well get dressed.

You know,
the party is already set for tonight,

but that doesn't mean we can't make
the wedding simpler or smaller.

Absolutely not.

My daughter deserves
as beautiful a wedding as we had.

And no one or nothing
is going to take it away from her.

Come on, handsome.
Let's go see Mommy, huh?

Hey. Here's my little cowboy.

- Boy, look at that outfit.
- He was just on his way

to give his mommy
a good-night kiss before his bath.

Why don't you go draw the water?
We'll be a few minutes.

Okay.

Come on, let's go ambush
your mother, huh?

You decent?

Unfortunately, yes.

lt'll only take me a minute
to get indecent though.

Be careful now.
There are two of us here.

lt's the men in my life.

Each one as cute as the other.

You know, he's a lucm boy.

There aren't many kids that get
to attend their parents' wedding.

Second wedding, darling.
You want him to think he's not legal?

- Excuse me. His bath is ready.
- Here you go, Irene.

Good night, sweetheart.

Here. Would you allow me?

Jeff, this necklace
is so extravagant.

But it's beautiful, l love it.

- l'm so lucm.
- We both are.

Not many people in this world
that get a second chance.

And l'm gonna make you this promise,
Mrs. Colby.

l'm not gonna let anyone or anything
come between us again.

Real promise?

Vey real.

We've got a party to go to,
remember? Ours.

We could have
our own private party right here.

What about the others?

Let them make their own fun.

Steven, no one wants Sammy Jo
to take Danny away.

- Even for the weekend.
- Of course not, but she's-

So l invited her to stay here with us
and she accepted.

So the problem is solved.

Kystle, l appreciate what you've done,
but l know how you feel about her.

How she treats you.

How she treats eveybody,
unfortunately.

Something's bothering you,
isn't it, Kystle?

And it's not Sammy Jo.

Well- It's nothing, really.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- It's about time, you two.
- Hello.

- You all look so beautiful.
- So do you.

l'm gonna see what's keeping Blake.

- Champagne?
- Thank you.

- That necklace is so pretty, isn't it?
- Yeah, that is nice.

A little something
from Mr. Wonderful over here.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- How do you do?
- Thank you, ladies.

Excuse me a minute.
l've got business to take care of.

- l'll see you in a minute, honey.
- Okay.

- Good evening, Mrs. Colby.
- Hello.

- You look lovely.
- Thank you.

Well, l see the Carringtons
have arrived.

Where's the 21-gun salute?

Some people don't need
to be announced, Samantha.

l checked all over my room.

l couldn't find my invitation
to the party tonight.

Why would l want to invite you?

Well, as a Carrington,
l should be at the top of your list.

As an ex-Carrington,
you're not even on the bottom.

Would you excuse me?

Fallon, l must register a complaint
about your hotel.

On the surface,
La Mirage seems so you, beautiful.

But the inside
is a major disappointment.

Not enough towels
and dust eveywhere.

lt's obviously second-rate.

Sammy Jo.

As long as you were Steven's wife,
l put up with you.

We all did.

But now you're nothing more
than a paying guest.

So if you don't like
the accommodations,

get the hell out.

Send up a magnum
of your best champagne to my room.

Yes, Mrs. Carrington.

And a grilled ham and cheese.

- l wanna talk, Alexis.
- Not now, Mark.

l'm late for the party
and l have to get dressed.

Now, Alexis.

All right. Make it fast.

Well, l decided l'd leave Denver.

Yes, well, with that $1 OO, OOO
gift of yours in my pocket,

l can go where l want.

But then l decided
that l belong here with you.

What made you change your mind?

Dex Dexter.

Look, l'm not in the mood
for guessing games.

What about him?

Well, he's through with you, Alexis,
and you've got nobody else.

Your deep concern for me
is overwhelming.

But l've decided that l don't need
a bodyguard anymore.

So you're free to go.
Tonight, if possible.

You may not need a bodyguard,
but you need a man.

- Do l?
- Yes.

You need me.

You must be suffering
from delusions of adequacy.

You're gonna pay for my silence,
Alexis, with more than just money.

From now on, we share eveything.

- Including your bedroom.
- No-

l paid you $1 OO, OOO
to keep your mouth shut.

For a tennis bum,
that will buy a lot of balls.

And believe me,
you're going to need them.

Now l want you to pack your bags
and get out of here

and out of Denver
by the time l come back tonight.

Otherwise, l'll have you carried out.

Kicking, screaming, feet first.
You can't get rid of me, Alexis.

Watch me.

l'm sory l was late. There's some
accident around the corner.

- l had to take the long way-
- l'm late for the party, Reed.

You know, it looked serious.
There's a big crowd, paramedics,

and a fire truck
and an ambulance just pulled up.

Oh, l heard the ambulance.
l'm not deaf, but l am late.

Yes, Mrs. Colby.

Alexis, l'm glad l caught you.

Well, l'm not glad.
And l'm in a hury.

This won't take long.

l wanna talk to you about money.

You and l have had all the talking

that we are ever going to have
in this life, Neal.

lt is a beautiful party, isn't it, Blake?

lt's more than that.

lt's really quite special to see
all my children together and happy.

lt can't be much better than that.

Well, it was a beautiful party.

Kirby, you've got what you wanted.

You dragged Mother to your father's
house and you made her squirm.

You've evened the score.

lsn't it time to call a truce now?

Tell me, with someone like Alexis,
how do you ever get even?

l wonder what Alexis would say
if she could see us now.

You ever ty standing up
in a hurricane?

Of course, she did order me
to go to bed with a man tonight.

l iust happen to have chosen
a different man.

Congratulations, Tracy.

You chose the best.

What's the matter?

Do you have any idea
what it does to me

knowing that you've been to bed
with that woman?

Forget Alexis. Concentrate on us.

But she's part of us

and as long as l work for her,
she's going to stay part of us.

Dex, l don't wanna share you.

You're not.

By staying close to Alexis,
you're helping me.

Both of us.

But we don't need her.

You know how good l am at my job.

l don't wanna work for Alexis anymore.
l wanna work for you.

l wanna be with you openly.

- l need you at Colbyco.
- For what?

To spy on her business, her bed?

You are obsessed with that woman.

Dex.

When you calm down,
you give me a call.

ln the meantime, you're being paid
to watch her evey move.

Evey move.

- Understand?
- Dex-

You're supposed to be meeting
Avril Dawson tonight.

Remember?

What a divine party.

Yes, isn't it?

What a surprise to see you here.

l mean,
considering that you're pregnant.

Speaking of pregnant,

Blake was more
than a little surprised

when l told him that you claimed
to have had four children.

Oh, yes.

Well, l meant the miscarriage that
l had after Steven was born.

Blake doesn't remember
a miscarriage.

Blake remembers nothing
unless it has a dollar sign in front of it.

Surely you must know that by now.

Are you sure you're not talking
about yourself, Alexis?

Blake, you have so much
on your mind right now.

They'll understand if we leave.

Well, there's nothing l can do
until tomorrow morning anyway.

l have been tying to get in touch
with Andrew Laird.

l'll use the phone in Fallon's office.

l'll get my purse.

l had thought of it too.

Excuse me a minute, darling.

Excuse me.

You can leave the door open, Alexis.
l'm on my way out.

That's what the rumours say.

All right, what do you want?

Oh, l'm here to give, Blake,
not to take.

Rumour has it

that your request for a loan extension
is going to be turned down.

- That's my business.
- Exactly.

And l'm here to help you keep
that business.

What would you say, Blake,

if l were to offer you a loan
of $100 million, no strings,

and six months to pay it back?

l'd say, let's hear the rest of it.

Six months, Blake.

And if at the end of that time
you can't pay it back,

then Denver-Carrington
becomes mine.

No merger, just mine.

Alexis, l don't need your money.
l don't need your six months.

And l'll see you in hell

before l see that you get your hands
on Denver-Carrington.

You're down, Blake.

You're gonna have to sell eveything.
Eveything.

You'll be lucm
to get a penny on the dollar.

Oh, excuse me.

They told me at the desk
l could find Mrs. Colby here.

She's all yours.

We've finished our business.

- Who are you?
- l'm Sergeant Cooper, Mrs. Colby.

l'm afraid l have some bad news
for you.

Well, what sort of bad news?

Your bodyguard, Mark Jennings,
he's dead.

Dead?

But l was iust with him
a little while ago.

He was vey much alive.

What happened?

He fell from the terrace
of your penthouse, Mrs. Colby.

Too soon to tell if he iumped
or if he was pushed.
