All language subtitles for Dynasty S0821 The Proposal

I'd like for you to read for the
court this portion of the contract.

"The surrogate, Karen Atkinson,

shall immediately give full custody
of the child to the prospective parents

on the birth of the child."

Last time on Dynasty:

How can you accuse me
of trying to buy my own child?

None of you are gonna get my baby.
Do you hear me?

None of you!

Stop this, please.

I have something I have to say.

I can't go through with this, Adam.

The baby belongs with his mother.

The baby belongs with Karen.

My God, Fallon, I don't know how you
and Steven got a hold of these things.

It's all here.
Everything I need to clear myself.

- I only hope it's not too late.
- Thresher kept a record of everything.

And Sean Rowan's name
is on every page.

I...

What's the matter?
Are you all right?

Oh, I'm fine.

Jeff.

Why did you really call me?

I got the divorce papers today.
It's official.

I spent my whole life
filling it with other people.

You've done the same thing.

You're still in love with Alexis.
You always will be.

That's the way I feel about Jeff.
I'm going after what I want.

You should do the same.

You're divorced now. There's
no reason why we can't be together.

Divorce or no divorce,
I mean, there is...

There is nothing between us. Please,
can't you get that into your head?

Well, it might take a while
to get Sean's body released.

I never really had a chance
to get to know him.

You are a beautiful woman.

You'll love again.
You'll be happy again.

Are you saying that all I need in
my life is the love of a good man?

It was pretty damn good before,
wasn't it?

Yes. Yes, it was.

That wasn't Sean's body they found
in the harbour after the explosion.

It was Harry Thresher.

- What?
- He'd been murdered.

Shot in the head.

They're pretty sure
that Sean pulled the trigger.

Steven,

I think he's still alive.

Nobody could have survived
that explosion.

Hello?

Sean? Sean, is that you?

Oh, God, what a nightmare.

What is the matter with you?

You're worried about things
that just aren't gonna happen.

You are not going to lose
this election.

Adam is not going to lose
the custody of his son.

And Sean Rowan is not alive.

So pull yourself together
because he's dead.

He's dead.

Yes?

Adam, it's me.
May I come in, please?

I'm running late.

Please listen to me.

I didn't sleep all night.

How come?

Look, I cannot undo
what I did in court.

It burst out of me
and I am sorry now,

but you are thinking the worst.

The judge could still rule
in our favour.

After you handed over my son
to Karen?

I know how angry you are,
but you have got to believe me.

I want this baby
just as much as you do.

Yes, you've made that very clear.

But our only chance of getting him
is as a couple.

A loving couple, Adam.

Don't you see?

That's the one thing working
against Karen right now.

The judge views her
as a single parent.

And we, sleeping in separate
bedrooms, are the loving couple.

We were.

We can be again.

Do you remember
what you said to me

the night you asked me
to marry you?

You said that together,
we can do anything.

- Dana...
- That's never been more true

than it is right now.

Please.

Please.

We're ready.

One minute.

- Going to be ready in a minute.
- Fine.

Dad, are you sure those documents
will stand up to scrutiny?

Absolutely.
Dates, signatures, everything.

They'll prove that Harry Thresher
and Sean Rowan

were selling guns and munitions
internationally and illegally.

Tight little club we're gonna
open up right now.

It's so close to the election.
Do you think it'll have any impact?

Well, we'll find out on
election day, won't we?

Okay, Blake, let's do it.

On the air, 15 seconds.

Stand by, please.

Good morning.

I've asked for this time today

because I have something
very important to tell you

and to show you.

For the past few weeks,

there's been a cloud hanging
over my campaign and my family.

A scandal about illegal gun running

that threatened to destroy everything
that I've ever worked for.

But last night,
that cloud disappeared.

They'll never believe him.
It's too late.

I have here in my hand this morning
authenticated documents

which will show that I was the
target of a calculated plot

to bring down me, my company,

my campaign and my entire family.

Don't be so sure they won't buy it.

They love Blake Carrington.

They want him.

And his timing, heh, is perfect.

The eleventh-hour coup.

Exactly.

Don't overestimate his charisma.

Alexis, face it.

He's got momentum going.

- And we need to counter it.
- Why?

I'm not guilty of anything.

And I am prepared to rest my
charisma and my case with the voters.

What do you mean, just sit idly by and
let him walk away with this election?

Oh, he's not gonna walk away
with anything, Russ.

In spite of what he says or does

it's his image that's been
tarnished, not mine.

Nurse Halliday, call Radiology.

Nurse Halliday, call Radiology.

- Excuse me.
- Yes, Mr. Carrington?

I was wondering if I could hold
my son for a few minutes.

Visiting hours
aren't for another hour.

I know. But if you could bend the
rules a bit for a first-time father.

I'm sorry, Mr. Carrington,
the custody case is...

I just thought before
I go into court...

- All right. But only for a minute.
- Thank you.

Dr. Davey,
call the operating room. Dr. Davey...

Ooh.

Oh.

Hi.

You know, you're gonna be a very
good-Iooking man when you grow up.

I just wanna be there to
see it, that's all.

Let me tell you something.

Are you listening?

It's your old man.

I'll never abandon you.

Never. I promise.

I promise.

- I don't wanna be late, Jesse. Let's go.
- We've got plenty of time, honey.

- It's important your husband is there.
- Jesse.

Karen, will you listen to me
just a minute?

I know how much you love our kids

and I know how important
this one's become to you.

But before we go
into that courtroom...

...could you tell me how
you're feeling about us?

Jesse, look, I'm...

I'll get it.

- What do you want?
- To talk to Karen.

We're on our way to court.

That's why I came here.

I want to ask you one last time.

Will you drop the custody suit?

She's not dropping it.

I'd have to be blind not to know
that you might win.

- Heh.
I'm asking you

to think this through.

Karen, I was raised
without my real father.

And I've always vowed that was
never gonna to happen to my child.

That's Karen's child too.

I'm only asking for joint custody.

- Only. You know what that only will...
- Will you keep the hell out of this?

And so I'm offering what I think
is a reasonable compromise.

You could move into the mansion
with your daughters.

That's enough.
I want you out of here.

Adam, you better go.

He's my son,
and you are not gonna raise him.

Well, I have nothing
against your magazine

but I don't put too much stock in
pre-election polls. Too many variables.

Come in.

Well, I've run an honest
campaign and a good campaign.

And I'm really looking forward
to being the first woman governor

of this great state.

Yes. Thank you.

You're welcome. Bye-bye.

Ah, interviews, the bane of my life.

You sure know how to handle them.
You know exactly what to say.

I'd have to script everything.

Yes, I'm sure you would.

I was told you wanted to see me.

Yes. I actually wanted
to see you before

but things have been so hectic
around here.

Sit down, Leslie.

Thank you.

My first order of business,
after I'm elected

is to streamline my organisation.

Cut out the dead wood.

Well, if there's anything I can do

organisation is one
of my strong suits.

Yes. One of many.

Now, I'm an executive,
and I hate unfinished business.

You just name the project
and I'll get on it right away.

Good. I like your attitude.

Because the project is you.

Heh. I don't understand.

Oh, come now, Leslie.

You're a smart young woman.
I'm sure you can figure it out.

What is this about, Alexis?

It's about you.

And about me.

I'm firing you, Leslie, and I'm
sure you know the reason why.

You can't do this, Alexis.

Oh, yes, I can.

And I have.

I've already notified personnel.

Can't we just talk about it?

There's nothing to talk about.

I want you out of the building
right now.

And, Leslie,
lest you think ill of me,

I haven't forgotten
your severance pay.

The bracelet that you dropped
in my bedroom

when you were doing
whatever it was you were doing.

Goodbye, Leslie.

Yes, sir.

All rise.

This court is now in session.

The Honourable Judge
Edward P. Langdon presiding.

A complicated case.

A difficult decision.

This court wants both the plaintiff
and the defendant to be aware

that it will not render a decision
based on right or wrong on either side.

What's best for the child in question,
that's the issue before this court.

I cannot, however,
ignore the issue of the contract

entered into in good faith
by both parties.

It presents us
with the moral question

of whether or not a child,
a human being,

may be contracted for.

Sold, if you will, as might
any other goods or services.

This court is quite understanding

of the motives of the father,
Adam Carrington.

He wanted a child, his blood.

Mr. Carrington and his wife sought

what seemed to them
to be a viable alternative:

The surrogate mother programme.

Understandable.

But of equal importance to this court
is the link between child and mother.

The natural mother.

That's older and more established
than the law itself.

Yet, the natural mother,
in this case, Karen Atkinson,

is a single parent.

Already raising two young
children, and...

Your Honour, if it please
the court, may I speak?

What is it, counsellor?

Sorry for the interruption,
I've learned something

that may have bearing
on the court's decision.

- Objection. We've heard all the...
- Judge.

This is pertinent.

You referred to my client
as a single parent?

- Yes?
Mr. And Mrs. Atkinson

have just informed me that
they have agreed to a reconciliation.

It's a trick. It's a cheap trick.

You're out of order, Mr. Carrington.

I assure you, Your Honour,
the Atkinsons are quite sincere.

Who's paying you this time, Jesse?

I won't warn you again,
Mr. Carrington.

Sit down or I'll have you removed
from this hearing room.

Your Honour,
I must agree with my client.

This last minute bit of histrionics
is an insult to this court.

The truth is never an insult.

The Atkinsons are ready,
willing and able

to offer this child
a secure environment

both with a mother and a father.

For how long?

Until the next desertion, Atkinson?

That's enough, Mr. Carrington.

I can hold you in contempt.

Judge, I move that all this
be stricken from the record.

What's the matter? Afraid your
money isn't gonna buy you justice?

- You don't want my child, Jesse.
- Quiet.

That's some trick.
- Adam.

Quiet.
- You don't want my child.

- You have to buy justice!
I want order in this court.

I want order now.

Judge, we only want to be heard.

No, counsellor, I've heard enough.

I will not have my court turned
into a free-for-all.

Now, I'm well aware
of the emotions of this case

but they can have no bearing
on my decision.

You will all be notified
when I've come to that decision.

- This court is now in recess.
All rise.

Adam.

- I'm sorry.
- For what?

Trying to pull this stunt?

You're not gonna get away with it.

Adam.

- Dana.
Stand back.

He needs to be alone for a while.

I just feel so alone in all of this.

Mr. Carrington, how did it go?

Did the judge give his decision?
- I have nothing to say.

Mr. Carrington, please...

Adam! Adam, darling, please, wait.

Adam.
Adam, this isn't over yet, darling.

I mean, this judge is not gonna be
fooled by these people.

Won't he? Don't be so sure, Mother.

Mrs. Colby, Blake Carrington
blames the entire arms scandal

on your husband Sean Rowan.
Any reaction?

Right now, my concern is for my son.
As you know, Sean Rowan is dead.

- Excuse me.
- Mrs. Colby...

No, all I want you to do is just pull
out the commercials we've been running

and replace them with the
ones we shipped yesterday.

Yeah, yeah, on all stations.

Ray, listen, I gotta go.
I'll talk to you later. Bye.

I'm glad you're back.

Why?

Because I have something
to ask you.

Guess now is as good a time
as any.

It seems that my life has been
like a roller coaster this past year.

And I've made a lot of decisions,
and some of them weren't right.

But I know that what I am
going to ask you is right.

Go ahead. I'm listening.

I want you to marry me.

Heh.

I love you,
and I want you to be my wife.

Heh, I don't know what to say.

Say yes.

Oh, it's so quick. I mean...

What?

Well, it's not like you, to push.

You're the... You're the kind of
guy that thinks things through.

I have thought it through.

I mean, if it seems like I'm pushing,
it's because I know it's right.

Sammy Jo, I love you.

Look, we only go around once.
Let's do it.

Let's not miss our chance
at being happy. Let's get married.

I just need a little time to think.

- Sammy Jo.
- I do.

Just a little time.

Adam, you've been avoiding me
all day.

And I have to talk to you.

And tell me what?

That the Atkinsons
are as much a couple as we are?

I'd say they were better qualified.

If they win, we can still appeal.

We can fight this thing together.

It's too late for that, Dana.

Uh, what are you saying?

What should have been said
a long time ago.

Alexis was right.

You didn't want this marriage
to work for us, just for yourself.

- That's not true.
- Yes, it is.

And now you've helped them
take my son away from me.

What could possibly be left for us?

Maybe you're right.

Maybe there is no us anymore.

But if that is true, then you have
to take some of the blame.

I have been so wrapped up
in my own guilt

that I have allowed you
and your mother

to make me a scapegoat.

- Well, no more.
- Let's end this right now, shall we?

No, let's not.

You know, Adam, I was beginning
to think that I was wrong

for standing up for Karen in court.

But the more I realise
how selfish you are

the more I'm glad I did.

A child needs love
from giving parents.

And you obviously don't know
how to give, only how to take.

- Dana, listen to me.
- No.

I am sick and tired
of listening to you.

We could have had it all.

And now we have nothing.

As much as I have loved you,

that's how much I hate you
right now.

Goodbye.

Daddy? Daddy, it's dark.

Oh, it sure is.

And I promised Mommy
I'd have you home early.

Let's hit the road.

- Daddy?
- Yeah?

Will you still be my daddy
if Mommy gets married again?

Of course, I will, Danny.
Why do you ask?

I heard him ask her.

- Him, who?
- Uncle Jeff.

Did he?

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Where's Danny?
- I dropped him off at the house.

- He's playing with L.B.
- It's past his dinnertime, Steven.

He'll eat there. He'll be fine.

I wanted to talk to you alone.

About what?

I know I have no right to try to
tell you how to live your life.

What's this all about, Steven?

You and Jeff.

What about us?

He proposed to you, didn't he?

- Who told you that?
- Danny.

He heard Jeff ask you
and he wanted to know

if I would still be his father.

All right, now that you know...

I'd like to know
what your answer was.

That's none of your business.

All right. And I have no
right being here either.

Steven.

I didn't answer yes or no.
I said I needed time.

That's good.

Why?

What if I had said yes?

Would that have upset you and gone
against your emotional grain?

- I just don't wanna see you get hurt.
- How am I gonna get hurt?

Fallon and Jeff have only been
divorced for a short time.

You're concerned
about how your sister's gonna feel.

I'm concerned about you, damn it,
because it's all happening too quickly.

Ever since they were kids,
Jeff has been crazy about Fallon.

And until a few months ago

they had seven years of marriage
and two children between them.

Are you ready to inherit all of that?

Maybe.
But that's my decision to make.

Well, I know my sister.

And she makes
a lot of decisions of her own.

And if she and Jeff have some
unfinished business between them...

Then I'll get hurt,
just like you said.

Yes.

Well, thanks for your concern,
Steven.

I'll just have to fend this one
for myself.

Good night, Sammy Jo.

Blake Carrington
blames the entire arms scandal

on your husband, Sean Rowan.
Any reaction?

Rjght now, my concern is for my son.
As you know, Sean Rowan is dead.

- Excuse me.
Mrs. Colby, just one...

Is he now?

Come on.

Rio?

Rio, what's the matter?

Rio.

Rio, stop that.

What are you doing,
you silly little thing? Hmm?

Oh.

Who is it?

It's Dex.

Oh, Dex.

Okay. Come on in.

- How are you?
- Hi.

I've got some news
I think you might wanna hear.

- What news?
- Well, a reliable source claims

that Sean Rowan was seen in Nairobi
last week.

That's impossible. He could never
have survived that explosion.

Probably not.

But would you rather I said nothing?

Dex, sometimes I've had nightmares
that he's still alive

but I know he's dead,
so there's nothing more to be said.

Yeah.

Well, at the risk
of currying political favour,

what do you think the chances are
of taking the candidate out for lunch?

Getting your mind off the hassles
for a while?

I'd say the chances were excellent.

- Just take care of Rio for me.
- Yeah.

And I'll be right back.

Well, Rio...

What is it?

Someone asked me to marry him.

I didn't know
you were seeing anyone.

Well, nobody knew.

Who is he?

It's Jeff.

Jeff?

Mm.

And he proposed.

What did you say?

I said that I wasn't sure.

Do you love him?

Yeah, I do.

I mean, I think I do.

Why is it so hard to really know?

Heh, Sammy Jo,
you just broke up with Steven.

Maybe you're rushing
into a relationship too soon.

No, it's over with Steven.
And I know this isn't a rebound.

I see.

You're not really convinced
of that, are you?

Sammy Jo, if you love Jeff,
then be with him.

But you should know there are
going to be some problems.

Why? Is it gonna be uncomfortable
on the holidays

when the whole family's here
at the house?

Yes. I think it could be
very uncomfortable.

Especially for Blake.

I don't think he's gonna
find this easy to take.

Mainly because of Fallon, I know.

But I also know that Fallon
and Jeff are divorced.

I don't think he's ever given up hope
that they'll get back together again.

Denver's childhood sweethearts.

Well, that particular
fairy tale is over.

I know that.

But why don't you give your
relationship with Jeff some time?

The problems aren't going
to go away.

And what about the children?

And Fallon?

You and Jeff can't separate yourselves
from that part of your lives.

And Blake will be angry
if I separate Jeff from Fallon.

Sammy Jo, Fallon will always be
a reality in both of your lives.

What do I do?

I don't know.

I guess you do
whatever feels right to you.

Aunt Krystle.

Aunt Krystle, is something wrong?

Oh. No, it's just a headache.
I'm fine.

Thank you.

I'm sorry that my lunch
ran longer than expected.

I'll just have to reschedule
the meeting.

Yes?

All right. Thanks.
I'll get back to you. Bye.

Come in.

What the hell do you want?

I've come to apologise.
I'd like you to forgive me.

Oh, I suppose you didn't mean
to hurt me.

No, Alexis, I didn't mean to hurt you.

I know I betrayed you with Sean.

And I'll have to live with that
for the rest of my life.

You certainly will.

- Now, I'm busy. Would you leave?
- Can you just give me a minute

- to beg you for...?
- Beg? For what?

For another chance.

You gave me a wonderful
opportunity at Colbyco

and I wanna start all over again.

I was good for the company once,
and I would do it again

if you just gave me another chance.

I'm sorry, Leslie.

But I'm afraid there's no room
at Colbyco for somebody

with your, well, particular skills.

listing all of your special talents,
starting with, um, company tramp.

Or should that be company slut?
Which do you prefer?

I know you don't wanna hear this,
but I was taken in by Sean.

Mm. Weren't we all?

Then you understand.

Look, I don't have any money
and I need a job.

I don't care what you need, Leslie.

You're just a whore.

Ah, that's the word I was looking for.
Company whore.

- Oh, Alexis.
- Hon, don't give me those tears.

It's just another one of your
great performances, isn't it?

No, you have to believe me.

I don't have to do anything, Leslie.

And I just want you to get out
of my house right now. Go!

I didn't expect you'd
take it this way.

How did you expect me to take it?

Yeah, I guess you're right.

We do love each other.

- Why hasn't Sammy Jo said yes?
- She will.

Don't you see what you're doing,
Jeff?

I know exactly what I'm doing.

It's a big mistake.

Let's just drop it.
This is none of your business.

This family is my business.

The ink isn't even dry
on your divorce papers.

Don't you have any concern
about how Fallon might feel?

This has nothing to do with
family or Fallon.

This has to do with you.

- What are you talking about?
- You can't control Sammy Jo.

- I'm not trying to, Jeff.
- Oh, come on, Steven, face it.

For the past year, you've had her
under your brand of protective custody

and it's smothering her.

I'm sorry.

What are we doing anyway?

We've known each other a long time,
we've been friends and buddies

and we're standing here yelling at each
other, looking like a couple of jerks.

Maybe the problem

is that we both care about
Fallon and Sammy Jo too much.

Steven, you tell me.

If you feel you're the right one
for Sammy Jo,

the best thing for her,

I'll back away.

I really mean that.

Election results are
coming in from all precincts now.

Blake Carrington appears to have
a commanding lead

in the urban precincts reporting
so far.

- Exjt polls...
- Carrington is doing well.

James Rayford...
- Very, very well.

Rayford and I aren't doing badly
either.

Yes, but it appears
that Carrington is the...

Russ, appearances,
as you know, can be deceptive.

The first thing you learn in politics
is to heed the warning posts.

Alexis, why don't we get down
to your campaign headquarters?

I'll write up an appropriate
concession speech

just in case you need it.

Oh, no, Russ.

I have never conceded defeat
in my life.

Not to Blake Carrington,

and I'm certainly not
gonna start now.

Adam?

Krystle told me that you were
coming down here tonight. Why?

What are you doing here?
It's election night.

You're my son, aren't you? There's
nothing more important than that.

Then you'll appreciate why I'm here.

It's about my son.

The judge hasn't let anyone see him
before he renders his decision.

I wanna make him understand
what that child means to me.

Adam.

Son,
I know what you're going through.

But this kind of behaviour
is not gonna help your case.

The judge is just gonna think
it's another emotional outburst.

Now, you have got to get
a hold of yourself.

Did you get hold of yourself when
I was taken from you and Mother?

Actually, no. No, I didn't.

I went a little crazy. We both did.

More than a little, really.

But it didn't help then.

It's not gonna help now.

I can't just stand around waiting
for my world to cave in.

- What do I do?
- Let the court make the decision.

And then you stand by it,
whatever it is.

And then I'll stand by you.

Okay.

Come on.

As you can see behind me, the mood
here at Carrington headquarters

is borderline celebration.

They know their candidate
is leading by a good margin

and they can almost taste victory.

Maybe we should get down there.

Oh, take it easy, Bill.

We're doing fine,
but it's still not over yet.

A lot of districts to be heard from.

Well, I wonder what Alexis will say
in her concession speech.

If she makes one. You know Alexis.

I hope you haven't come
to say, "I told you so."

No, I've come to say I'm sorry.

Hey, it was a tight race.
You almost pulled it off.

I don't like to deal in almosts, Dex.

For what it's worth,

I think you gave them a hell of a run
for their money and I'm proud of you.

You really mean that, don't you?

Sure, I mean it.

Now, just what is going on behind
those twinkling dark eyes of yours?

Just remembering.

Be careful.

Memories can tend
to forget the bad times.

I don't think that's
possible with us.

But for every bad moment
that we had,

I think there were
at least two good ones.

Hmm. Not great ones?

You took the words
right out of my mouth.

Well, heh, aren't you just
full of surprises, Mr. Dexter.

In fact, I have another surprise
that I have to do.

Maybe you'd like to join me?

And that is?

Well, ridiculous as this may sound,

the voters of this great state
are intending to put Blake Carrington

in the governor's mansion.

And since I'm such a good sport,

I thought I might just go over there
and give them my congratulations.

Hmm. Now?

Well, not right now.

Dear Dad,

I've made some decisions
about my life.

Things are becoming
more and more clear, and...

Steven, what are you doing?

Nothing much.

Well, you're missing all the fun.
Daddy's almost governor.

Is something wrong?

No. Not really.

- Uh-oh.
- What?

I recognise that tone of voice.

It means there is definitely
something wrong.

What is it?

You're gonna hear sooner or later.
I might as well be the one to tell you.

In fact,
I'd rather you hear it from me.

Go on.

Jeff proposed to Sammy Jo.

I see.

Well, I wish him luck.
I hope he's happy.

I guess that takes care
of both our lives.

Just like that?

Things happen in life just
like that, don't they?

You're feeling fine and then
all of a sudden, you get a headache.

Or the sun is shining
and then it's raining.

Come on, Fallon,
what are you really feeling?

What kind of question
is that supposed to be?

It's just an open question.

Except the matter is
closed, isn't it?

Sammy Jo is gonna marry Jeff,
and...

No. She hasn't
given him an answer yet.

Well, whatever.

I don't wanna talk about it anymore.
You told me, I heard.

Why are you making such a
big deal about it?

You okay?

I don't know.

Tell me what you're thinking.

Come on, just let it out.

I'm thinking

I guess I always knew Jeff
would end up with somebody else.

I just didn't think
it would be so soon.

Adam?

Father, I must be the only person
who hasn't congratulated you yet.

Well, you've got a lot on your mind.

If I didn't say it before, thank you
for those words of encouragement

outside the courthouse.

That's not necessary, really.

All I want is for you and Dana
to be happy.

By the way, where is she?

She's not feeling very well.

Whatever it is, I think
I'm coming down with it too.

Sooner I get to bed, the better.

Good night.

Blake. Call them premature,
but we have gotten telegrams

from the governors of 14 states
saying, in essence:

"Congratulations
and welcome aboard!"

That's fine, but a little
optimistic, isn't it?

Only 40 percent of the votes
have been counted.

Let's see
what the networks are saying.

Blake.

- Ah!
- Congratulations, Blake.

- Congratulations, Blake.
- Thank you.

Thank you, Dex.

Well, it turned out to be
a very tight race after all.

You put up a hell of a fight, Alexis.

Yes. I did, didn't I?

Want you to know
how much I appreciate

your coming here to concede.

Well, thank you, Blake.

But just remember, you're not
going to be elected forever.

And possibly, in four years,
I might give you a run for your money.

Now we take you back...
- Congratulations.

Blake, listen to this.

I repeat, bringing you up to date
from Blake Carrington's headquarters.

In the last hour, Carrington's
lead has been cut almost in half.

Wjth the ballots from the rural
areas still to be counted,

jt's now become a three-way race
between Carrington, Rayford

and Mrs. Colby.

It appears our projection of
victory for the Carrington campaign

may have been premature.

Well, it just may be.

What is that quaint
old American saying?

"It ain't over until it's over"?

Good night, everybody. Dex.

Good night.

Nurse...

- Hello, Mrs. Atkinson, Mr. Atkinson.
- Nurse.

Hello. We thought we might drop in
on the baby for a minute.

Oh, well, visiting hours
are long over, and...

Oh, excuse me.

I'll be right there.

I must take care of this.
I'll be right back.

Adam,
I wondered whether you need...

Dr. Davey...

- Nurse, we know it's late
- I'm sorry I kept you waiting.

- And it's after visiting hours...
- Jesse, she's right.

It is after visiting hours.

We're sorry.
We don't wanna get you into trouble.

I suppose it would be all right.

- Oh, you're beautiful. Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Come on.
- Ha-ha-ha.

Dr. Brady, call nurse service.

He's such a good baby.

He was almost asleep
before he finished his last bottle.

What's this?

Where is he? Where's my baby?

What's going on here, nurse?

I'm not sure.

Well, I gave him his last feeding

- just half an hour ago.
- Where is he?

Where's my baby?

- Well, he's not here.
- Where is he? Where is my baby?

- Where the hell's the baby?
- Do something! Do something!

What's going on?

What could they have done with him?
How could this happen?

- That's all. Just a mistake.
- Oh, God.

Karen? Karen.

Oh, God!

How could this be?

Adam couldn't take my baby!
