All language subtitles for Dynasty s08e17 The Warning.efng

What reaction?

The phones have been ringing
off the hook.

You're a heroine.

The sympathy and concern
is pouring in.

I have a feeling if you
ran for the presidency tonight,

you'd give the front-runners
a run for their money.

So I'm announcing today that I
intend to stay in the fight and win.

She lied to you.
She never intended to withdraw.

But she's still got one hell of
a fight on her hands, I tell you.

A fight that I intend to win.

Last time on Dynasty:

I haven't seen a child-support
payment from you in over a year.

I didn't even know
you were back in the country.

Okay, okay, okay,
I guess I deserve that.

- This time, we're divorced.
- That's another thing.

See, we're not divorced.

I couldn't bring myself
to sign the final papers.

You're lying.

How about some fresh capital
to save the day?

- Capital from a partner.
- A partner?

What do you say, partner?

What about Sammy Jo's obligation
to your investment?

Oh, come on, Steven.
You're way off base.

And if Sammy Jo wants me
as a partner,

the deal goes through.

We'll see about that.

You've messed up my sister's life.

I am not gonna let you do that
to Sammy Jo.

- Let go.
- In this neighbourhood,

it doesn't work like that.
No, in this neighbourhood,

- what you show, you owe.
- Jeff!

Oh, for God's sake, Sean,
your wife is in the hospital.

She'll survive.

- But I need you, Leslie.
- Oh.

I need you tonight.

What do you know
about Harry Thresher?

The oil minister in Natumbe?

Oh, he's part of the Vitron deal.
Why?

What did Sean tell you about him?

They're not strangers, Alexis.

You bastard.

No, operator, Natumbe.
That's in Africa.

All right, I'll wait.

Yes? Alexis?

Leslie, darling.

You must have been on the job
morning, noon and night.

I've had a terribly difficult job
finding you and Sean.

I'm sorry. It's just taking forever
to close this oil deal.

There's so much to do.
You can't imagine.

Oh, yes, I can.

It takes a tremendous amount
of energy

to do what you're doing, Leslie.

I do hope
that Sean appreciates that.

I'm sure he does.
I mean, we're both working very hard.

These affairs can be
very exhausting.

So many details,
so little margin for error.

I do hope that you and Sean
haven't left any loose ends.

No, we've both been very careful.

Good.

Because a mistake now
could be deadly.

There's nothing to worry about,
Alexis.

It's so reassuring to know

that I can leave everything
in your capable hands, Leslie.

Oh, by the way, I'd like you
to tell Sean to get ready

to move out of my apartment.

I don't understand. Move out?

Yes. And into the governor's mansion.
I'm back in the race.

Oh.

Oh, you're continuing the campaign.
Well, ha, ha, that's great.

Mm. I knew you'd be pleased.

I have to go away
for a couple of days,

but I want you to be in Denver
when I return.

Oh, absolutely.
I'll make arrangements.

And don't forget to give my husband
the message, will you, Leslie?

Bye-bye.

This little trinket
was very costly for you, Leslie.

I don't like the way she sounds.
I think she knows something.

Aren't you getting a little paranoid?

Oh, but you didn't hear her voice.

It was as if she knew
you were in bed with me.

Oh, God, if she ever finds out, I...

I know something
that will calm your fears.

Sean.

Damn.

Yes?

Well, I've held them off
as long as I can.

The entire Colorado press corps
is waiting for you to make a statement.

Well, they'll just have to wait
a little longer, Russ.

Well, what am I gonna tell them?

- The candidate had a bad morning?
- You're the expert.

Just tell them
what you have to tell them.

You know, you're paying me a lot
of money to be your political adviser.

You're doing okay in the polls
right now.

But by next week,

the public might not even remember
you took a bullet for Blake.

So take my advice.

When the press knocks on your door,
you better be there to answer.

You're absolutely right, Russ.

The media is important.

There we are. I think we're all set.

Blake, I don't want you to go.

Oh, darling, I have to go.
It's important.

This is the state bar convention.

I'm gonna be speaking
to 1,500 attorneys.

And I'm only gonna be gone
overnight.

You know that's not
what I'm talking about.

I'm going to be fine.

Now, Cochrane is already up there.
Our security's been tightened up.

Besides, who's gonna do anything

in a room full of judges
and prosecutors?

Someone who's crazy. What makes
you think they won't try it again?

We're better prepared this time.

With a couple
of extra security guards?

Blake, there's a thousand ways for
someone to get you in a place like Vail.

It's crowded, people wear ski masks,

a high-powered rifle
up on the slopes.

Yes, you're right,
but I've accepted that fact.

Well, I haven't.

Blake, Kristina's sick
and I can't be there with you.

I don't want you to go.

Darling, what am I supposed to do?
Never leave Denver?

Or should I just stay here
in this house?

If that gets risky,
what am I supposed to do,

- lock myself up in this room?
- You're being ridiculous.

I am not going to let some lunatic
out there control my life.

Well, I think you're being selfish.

Blake, if anything
were to happen to you,

I don't know what I would do.

Nothing is going to happen.

I pray to God you're right.

You know that if you wanted me
to leave this race that I would.

But I can't run half a race.

I've gotta be the best candidate
that I can be

or else just drop out of it.

You know that, don't you?

All right.

Please be careful.

I love you, Mrs. Carrington.

And I will be careful.

Here she comes.

Here she is.
Here she is.

Mrs. Rowan.

Mrs. Rowan.

All right, all right, all right.
You.

Mrs. Rowan, this campaign trip to
Vail will be the first appearance

with Blake Carrington
since the assassination attempt.

Are you concerned that whoever
it was might strike again?

Well, naturally,
everybody's concerned.

But it's gonna take more than
one psychopath with a rifle

to keep me out of the running.

Mrs. Rowan.

Mrs. Rowan,
you've moved up in the polls.

Is it true the shooting
has helped your campaign?

Heh. Well, it wasn't part
of my campaign strategy,

if that's what you mean.

Mrs. Rowan. Mrs. Rowan.
- Yes.

Mrs. Rowan, you must admit, it is
ironic that you saved the life

- of the man you're running against?
- Yes, it is.

But to tell you the truth,
I find it even more ironic

that Blake Carrington
is running for governor at all.

Mrs. Rowan.

How do your doctors feel about
you making a campaign appearance

so soon after the shooting?

Well, they were unanimously
opposed to it,

but I managed to convince them
that it was more important

to show the people of Colorado
that I was well enough,

strong enough and determined
enough to win this election.

So now, ladies and gentlemen, if you'll
excuse me, I have a plane to catch.

Thank you, Mrs. Rowan.
- Thank you.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

For a minute, I thought they
were gonna give you a standing ovation.

I'm rather surprised they didn't.

What did you expect
when you got here? A brass band?

Your children don't even know you.

All right, I was wrong. I was stupid.
I made a terrible mistake.

But I can make it up to you
and the kids.

I swear I can
if you give me a chance.

- It's too late for that now.
- Why?

Jesse, I don't feel well.

Is it because you don't love me
anymore?

Or is it because you're out to
here with some rich man's kid?

- Who talked you into this, anyway?
- Nobody talked me into anything.

What's gonna happen
when you have to give that baby away?

I know you and kids.

You don't know me at all.

You stroll into town
after disappearing for two years

and expect everything
to be just as it was.

Well, it isn't.
People change. People grow up.

Yeah, well, I've changed too.

You haven't even given me a
chance to tell you about the deal.

There's always another big deal
just around the corner.

That's the story of our life together.
Well, I want more.

And you think the Carringtons
are gonna be your meal ticket?

- That's not what I meant.
- Oh, no?

You're so excited about going over
to their house for dinner tonight.

You think after you have the baby
that they're gonna invite you over?

We've become friends.
Adam and Dana are good people.

After they get this baby
they're not gonna give a damn

whether you live or die.
To them, you're just a brood mare.

Why are you doing this to me?

Because they're using you.
Can't you see that?

No. I don't see that at all.

Well, whatever it is, sooner
or later, you have to tell me.

I didn't tell you the truth
the other day.

Truth about what?

About who was on the phone.

He's back. I never dreamed
I would see him again.

What are you talking about?

I swear to you, Dana,
I thought it was over.

But he just showed up.

Jesse?

He never signed the divorce papers.
We're still married.

Karen, no.

I'm sorry.
I wanted to tell you but...

But this changes everything.

No, it doesn't.

Jesse came back
because he had some wild idea

we could start over again.

But this won't affect the baby.

Of course it will.

Adam and I don't have any kind
of legal agreement with Jesse.

This is your baby, Dana.

Not because I signed
a piece of paper.

Well, for God's sake, that piece
of paper is the only thing we have.

No, it isn't.

Dana, when I felt the baby kick
for the first time,

I couldn't wait to call you,
remember?

You're the one
who heard the first heartbeat.

When I picture this baby
in my mind, I see you,

holding it, loving it,
watching it grow up.

This is your baby, Dana.

You've got to believe that.

The only thing that is important
is that you believe it, Karen.

My God, the man shows up
out of the blue

and you think it's just a coincidence.

Well, Jesse didn't know anything
about the baby.

And you believed him?

Dana, this guy wants something.

Karen says the only thing he wants
is to get back together again.

Karen also said she was divorced.

Do you know what this could mean?

A custody battle.

Jesse could tie us up in court
for years.

Adam, you're jumping
to conclusions.

The only thing we know about Karen's
husband is that he deserted his family.

Now we're supposed to believe
he came back

because he got homesick?

I'm sorry, Dana. I don't buy it.
The man's trouble. I can feel it.

Please promise me you won't say
anything to Karen tonight.

I'm gonna find out
what Jesse Atkinson wants.

Oh, Karen, it's
good to see you again.

Hello, Mrs. Carrington.

Oh, please, call me Krystle.

Adam and Dana are changing,
but they'll be down in a minute.

You all right?

No, I just can't seem
to get warm. Heh.

Why don't you go into the library
and sit? I'll get you some tea.

Thank you.

Oh.

I'm not avoiding the issue.
I don't think tonight's the right time.

I think tonight is the perfect time.

Karen, what is it?

- Oh, my God.
- Karen.

- Dana, call Dr. Davis.
Okay.

Oh, my God.

Karen isn't in any danger
of losing the baby, is she?

No. The doctor says
if she rests for a few days

that she's gonna be okay.

Oh.

Darling, don't worry.
Everything here is under control.

Good. Everything here
is under 10 feet of snow.

I tried to get out this morning,
but the blizzard just isn't letting up.

Blake, I'm sorry about yesterday.

I guess I was the one
who was being selfish.

Oh, no, no.
You were concerned, darling.

I can understand that.

We've all been under a lot
of pressure lately.

- I miss you.
- Me too.

You know I don't like being
away from you.

Well, what we need is a
long evening together.

Just the two of us.

All right, you've got a date.

The only question is, when?

The only way to get out of here now
is with a dogsled.

I just hate being away from home
when you've got these problems.

Darling, don't worry.

We've had a scare,
but it's nothing we can't handle.

No, no. Everything's fine.
There's nothing wrong with the baby.

You're gonna be all right.

You see,

you fainted last night.

Just before dinner.

- Are you hungry?
- Yeah.

Nurse, would you please bring up
Mrs. Atkinson's breakfast tray?

Now, the doctor had some fancy
medical term for it.

You're just exhausted, that's all.

So you can stay here with us
for a couple of days

until the doctor says
you can get up again.

- Where are my children?
- Downstairs with Kristina, playing.

All you have to do is stay here
and rest for a couple of days.

We don't want you to worry.

Wait here.
I wanna see my wife.

What is it, Gerard?
- Mr. Carrington,

there's a gentleman here
who insists on seeing Mrs. Atkinson.

- Where is she? Karen?
What the hell are you doing?

Honey.

I was so worried.

- What happened?
- I'm sorry about this.

I guess I overdid it. I'll be
staying here at least another night.

You don't have to do that.
I can take care of you.

No, it's okay.

I got the car downstairs.
I'll carry you.

You haven't been listening.

- Who are you?
Adam Carrington.

- And Karen is staying here.
- I'm her husband.

- And I wanna take her home, okay?
- Jesse, please.

The last thing Karen needs right
now is a lot of excitement.

Now, why don't we leave her alone?
She needs to rest.

Okay.

Jesse.

I know you were worried about me.
I'll be fine.

Everyone's a little upset.
It was a long night.

Yeah.

This isn't the time,
but I think you and I need to talk.

- Do you know Harmon Point?
- Sure.

Tomorrow around 9
I'll be on my morning run.

Okay.

This continuous hysteria about Alexis,
it's very unattractive, Leslie.

- If she fires me, I'm not going alone.
- What, is that a threat?

I have no intention of walking away
without getting what I deserve.

I told you I'd take care of you.

That is not good enough.
I want specifics.

I know you're skimming off
this oil deal.

I wanna know how much, what your
share is, and what my cut is.

Here I thought your only interest
was in me.

Oh, stop it, Sean.
I've been cheated too many times.

- Either you tell me or...
- Or? Or what?

I know a lot about you, Sean.

I don't think that you can afford
to ignore me.

I have no intention of that.

I'll pick you up at 9.

And before we go back
to Denver in the morning, I promise,

I'll tell you all you need to know.

Good morning, Blake.

Alexis.

Oh, I can't believe
that we are stuck here.

Heh. Reminds me of St. Moritz
when the children were little.

If you'll excuse me, Alexis,
I'm working.

Oh, Blake, don't be so stodgy.

Surely, you can take some time out
for a friendly little chat.

I'm afraid I don't have time
for a little time out.

By the way, I think you may be right
about this being familiar ground for us.

We're back fighting again.

Blake.

I don't think
that we should fight anymore.

Oh?

I'm sure that it hasn't escaped
your notice

about my rise in the popularity polls,
particularly among women voters.

After what you went through,

I expected that the public
would be sympathetic.

Blake, it's more than just sympathy.

I'm no longer a spoiler,
I'm a genuine candidate

with an excellent chance
of being elected.

I think you may be overestimating
your chances.

Do you? Well, I don't.

Which is why I'm prepared to make
you a rather interesting offer.

Blake, you and I would make
an unbeatable combination.

I think you should withdraw
from the race

and run as my lieutenant governor.

Alexis, in all the years
I've known you,

that is the single-most ridiculous
thing that I've ever heard you say.

Why? Because you don't think that
I'm strong enough or clever enough?

Or is it you don't think that any woman
is capable of running for government?

Or perhaps you've been married
to that wimp Krystle for so long

that you've forgotten what a
real woman is capable of doing.

On the contrary.
She's helped me to understand

what a real woman should be.

Alexis, you are smart and shrewd,

but you also happen to be
self- indulgent and dishonest.

And you are pig-headed
and chauvinistic

with a lot of skeletons in your
closet that haven't been revealed yet.

I never said that I was perfect.

Oh, by the way,

I do think that a woman
could be the governor of Colorado.

- Hmm?
- It's just that you're not that woman.

"My dear Leslie, you've earned this."

Heh. "Love, Sean."

Hmm.

Not bad.

But it's gonna cost you
a lot more than this, Mr. Rowan.

It's about time.

- Don't move.
- Hmm?

Not a muscle.

Don't even breathe
if you want to live.

Don't move.

Oh, God.

This is an African mamba.

It's one of God's deadliest creatures.

Take it away.

They strike very quickly.

And it's a slow, agonising death.

Please, Sean.

Not until you understand the danger.

- Hmm?
- Just take it away. I beg you, please.

You must promise
to be more careful.

You never wanna challenge a viper
like this.

I promise.

I can't hear you.

I promise.

Can't hear you, Leslie.

Please, Sean.

I promise.

Good. Now I'm sure
we have an understanding.

We do understand each other,
don't we?

Hmm?

- Don't we?
- Yeah.

I'd hate to see anything happen
to you.

Blake.
Blake, I've been looking for you.

- Look, I want to apologise.
- Well, it's not necessary.

No. Look, I was wrong asking you
to run as my lieutenant governor.

It must have been a terrible blow
to your ego.

My ego will survive
and so will my campaign.

Will it?

I'd like you to take a look at this.

So you didn't come here
to apologise.

You really came here to sell me again
on that little scheme of yours.

Well, I wouldn't be on that ticket
with you if my life depended on it.

I don't want to win that badly.

Then maybe you should think
about getting out of the race,

leaving the field clear for me.

You never give up, do you?

I have a question I'd like to ask you.

You love this campaign.

You love the attention and
the excitement of the challenge.

What would you do
if you actually got elected?

You think about that.

Then maybe you'll consider
getting out of this race.

Don't bet on it.

Tell me something.

Any particular reason you decided
to come back to Denver at this time?

Yeah.

I still love my wife, that's why.

You had to know
this would upset her.

Heh. Well, I didn't expect to find her
out to here with a baby either, okay?

- I don't owe you any explanation.
- You're right.

You don't owe me anything.

Let me be honest with you.

I hope that you and Karen
can work out all your problems

and live happily ever after.

But now just isn't the right time.

So, what am I supposed to do?

- Just walk away?
- That's right.

Until after the baby is born
and the papers are signed.

Then you can do what you like.

You are really unbelievable.

Just because your family's
got all the money in the world,

you think that gives you the
right to tell me what to do?

I've done a little checking.

A dozen jobs in the last five years,
not one lasting more than six months.

You've had some tough times.

I do okay.

As a matter of fact,
I got a deal on the table

that's gonna pay me $20,000.

What if I were to make you
a better offer?

- Meaning what?
- Well, you tell me.

What would it take to have
you disappear for a while?

Think about it.

Dana, Dana, I have to go.
I have a board meeting.

Meanwhile, this is for you.

Because I love you very much.

I'm sorry I overreacted
to Jesse coming back.

We had a long talk.
He won't be giving us any trouble.

Oh, good.

You know,
I was a little worried myself

after the way he barged in here
yesterday.

Karen says Jesse's a little impulsive,
but he doesn't mean any harm.

Right. And I'm sure Karen
would like to believe that.

But I wasn't about to take
any chances.

What do you mean
"take any chances"?

You can never trust
the Jesse Atkinsons of this world.

They all have big mouths
and big dreams

and their hand out for an easy buck.

As long as they don't have to work
for it.

You offered him money, didn't you?

No.

I just made it very easy
for him to ask.

And he will.

Oh, Adam, please don't do this.

I have no intention of letting some
two- bit hustler interfere with our baby.

I had a problem, I took care of it.

Dana, I want Jesse out of town
and out of our lives.

Now.

Okay, well, that's it. Thank you all.

I'll certainly keep you informed
of any further stock activity.

Nice of you to join us, Adam.

I had some personal business
to take care of, Steven, all right?

Now, why this emergency meeting?

We have a real problem.

There's been another huge purchase
of Denver-Carrington stock.

- Still no names?
- No.

We've done a complete check.

Apparently, we're dealing
with brand-new players

and nobody knows who they are.

Well, they're gonna have to come
out into the open eventually.

Once they buy in for 6 percent,
the masks come off. That's the law.

They're almost there now, and we
have some very nervous stockholders.

Well, can you blame them?

Takeover threats are twice
as frightening

when you don't know the enemy.

Let's not get carried
away with this.

How many points are we up
this week? Three and a quarter.

Maybe they're planning just to
buy and sell for a quick profit.

I don't think so, Adam.
I think they're serious.

Whoever they are, they're buying
into Denver-Carrington bigtime.

You weren't kidding when you said
you were going to be hard-working.

It's necessary. Two hands phoned in
sick and a mare is about to foal.

- Well, you could have called me.
- I did fine by myself, thanks.

You know, I've been leaving messages
here the last couple of days.

I've been busy.
I have a horse ranch to run.

- Did I do something wrong?
- No.

It's just that I've reconsidered
our arrangement.

And I decided to go to the bank
for financing on Delta Rho.

- You wanna dissolve the partnership?
- It's not a partnership, Jeff.

Maybe I do talk too much.
How about a silent partner?

Look, Jeff, when things went bad
for me at the ranch,

you were here to bail me out
financially.

And when that jerk tried to
attack me the other night,

you were there to rescue me.

I don't wanna feel I have to
turn to you for everything.

Is there something wrong
with helping out?

No.

Just as long as you understand
that I'm gonna work hard

to turn this business around
and to pay you back.

I just don't wanna feel dependent
on you or anybody.

Wait a minute, Sammy Jo. I gave you
that money because I believe in you.

And because I like you.

Just what exactly
am I signing away here?

Nothing.

Just a simple declaration.

You've had no physical contact
with Karen for the past two years.

So I'm saying that the
baby isn't mine, right?

And you further agree
to have no contact with her

until after the baby is born.
That means no visits.

No phone calls.

Yeah, well, that's the hard part.

I don't know if I can do that.

I don't wanna rush you.

Why don't you think about it?

Check it out with your attorney.

Uh, well, it's not that I don't
trust you. I just, uh...

- I really don't wanna lose Karen again.
- You don't have to.

Come back after the baby's born

and you and Karen
can have a real chance.

With another briefcase
just like this one.

You're doing the right thing.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Adam, this is wrong.

I did what was necessary
for all of us.

How much did you pay him?

A hundred thousand dollars?
Five hundred thousand? A million?

Does it matter?

I'd give up everything I have
for that baby.

Darling, I want this child just as much
as you do, but I'm not willing to buy it.

What do you think
we've been doing?

We signed a contract with Karen.
We are paying her money.

She is having a baby
and giving it to us.

All I've done with Jesse
is take out an insurance policy.

But it isn't the same thing at all.

Look, we've paid Karen's doctor's
bills and her attorney's fees.

She wouldn't even let me buy her
a maternity dress.

And you're comparing that to handing
somebody a suitcase full of money?

It is the same, Dana.

All we're arguing about
is the amount.

Wait a minute. I did everything
that you wanted me to.

I came back here,
I got everybody stirred up.

Now I want my money.

Now, we had a deal.
I pay you 10,000 now

and 10,000 after you've
completed the assignment.

Yeah.

Well, I thought the job was over.

I want Adam Carrington to think
he's gonna lose his child.

Perhaps he will.

Wait a minute, this...

That's too complicated for me.

We never said anything
about keeping the child.

That's up to Karen.
And you, of course.

I just want enough money so that
Karen and me can make a fresh start.

You follow my instructions
and you'll get your money.

And I won't have to make
a phone call to the coast,

to my friends
that you're so anxious to avoid.

Don't disappoint me.

You're leaving?

It's only for a couple of months.

And I really believed you.

"We're going to be a family again.
I'll get a real job."

Won't I ever learn?

- Bye, Mommy. Bye, Daddy.
- Goodbye, Mom.

Bye-bye, Kelly.

Have a good day, okay?
Now, zip up, it's cold outside.

- I love you girls.
- I'm picking you up.

- Okay, Mom.
Bye-bye, kids.

Bye.

Honey, I'm telling you,
this is a once-in-a-lifetime deal.

When I come back, we're never
gonna have to worry about money.

Don't say that.
Don't tell me those things.

I hate your lies.

Why did you have to come back?

All right.

Here.

Look at this.

- This look like a lie to you?
- Where did you get that?

I told you,
I've been working on a deal.

What kind of deal pays
that much money and in cash?

It's perfectly legal.
Don't worry.

I got 50,000 now and 50,000 after.

- After what? What do you have to do?
- Nothing.

You're getting paid $100,000
for doing nothing?

Well, I got... I just gotta leave
town for a little while, that's all.

But I'm coming back, I promise.
Now, here.

- You keep the money.
- I don't want it, Jesse.

I want the truth.
Where did you get this?

Well, Adam Carrington just wants me
to leave town for a little while

until you've had the baby.

You took money from him?

Well, so what? He's got plenty.
He's never gonna miss it.

You haven't changed, Jesse.

This is just another con
game to you, isn't it?

- No.
- This is all you care about.

- Take it. Take it and get out of here.
- No, no.

- Karen...
- I never wanna see you again.

Karen, I did this for you.
Don't you understand?

I want us to be together.

But not as much
as you wanted the money.

Morning.

Morning. I thought you were
still snowbound in Vail.

We made it out
a couple of hours ago.

Steven, I understand
that those new stockholders

are coming in to see you
this afternoon.

Yeah, we're finally gonna meet
the enemy face-to-face.

I wanna be there at that meeting.

I think that would be a mistake, Dad.

My telephone has been ringing
off the hook ever since I got back.

Long-time stockholders
who wanna know what's going on.

And, frankly, so do I.

Tell them if they have any
questions to call me.

Assuming I'm still in charge.

Of course you are.

But those stockholders are a threat.

They now own a big piece
of Denver-Carrington.

That's exactly why I don't
want you at that meeting, Dad.

If you're there, it'll look
like we're running scared

and you've come to bail us out.

Steven, I have stayed out of
the picture up until now,

even though you and your brother
and sister have had problems.

But this is different.

We're talking now
about a possible takeover.

I don't have to remind you that
everything I've ever worked for,

everything I own, is at risk here.

I know that. And you have
to make a decision, Dad.

If you show up this afternoon,

you're sending me a clear signal that
you want to run the company again.

That's not what I want.

Then don't undermine me.

I know you wanna help.

But if I'm going to run
Denver-Carrington,

the best way to help me
is to trust me.

Good luck
at that meeting today, son.

Not only is the lady beautiful,
but forgiving.

- Uh, sorry I was away so long.
- That's all right, darling.

You're back now,
and the oil deal's going well

and everything else is going well.

That reminds me.

Do you think we made a mistake
with Leslie?

In what respect?

In giving her too much
responsibility too soon.

She handles herself all right.
She's learning.

Mm. At my expense.

I'm not sure I approve
of on-the-job training.

Well, then, we'II, uh, put her
into a less responsible position.

Well, I thought you said
she was doing so well.

You're the one who suggested
there was a problem.

Well, you know I always rely
on your good judgement.

Well, then I think she's
doing fine where she is.

Ah.

You know,
I have a feeling about Leslie.

A feeling?
- Mm.

I don't trust her.

Well, then we'll demote her
or we can fire her.

Alexis, what do you want me to do?

Whatever you think you should do,
darling.

Excuse me. Mr. Rowan?

Your call to Africa
has come through.

- This is gonna take some time.
- Oh, yes, of course.

Well, I have a meeting with
my image-maker anyway, darling,

so I'll see you later.

Excuse me, could you bring me a
Scotch over to, uh, that table, please?

Thanks.

Oh, you look terrible.

Gee, thanks.
Just what I needed to hear.

Well, I meant a little tired.
African jet lag, I guess.

- So how was your trip?
- It was okay.

Uh, look, Dex, the reason why I
wanted to talk to you was, um, heh,

I'd like my old job back.

Heh. Why? What happened?

Well, I've just decided that,
uh, I don't fit in at Colbyco.

Oh. But, Leslie, I remember
those big dreams of yours,

the glamour and the glory.

Don't tell me nothing happened.

Look, I just want a job,
not a lecture.

Thank you.

And I just wanna know why last week
you were sitting on top of the world

and today you look like
a frightened little girl.

Look, a simple yes or no will do.
Do I have the job or don't I?

Forget about the job right now.
I want you to be straight with me.

Oh, just forget it.
I should have known better.

They sure are dragging this out.

They seem to be enjoying this little
game of corporate hide-and-seek.

Yeah, that's just how it feels,
like some sort of perverse game.

Only we don't know
who the players are.

Or where they are.

Well, they can't win
unless we allow them.

This is one time the three of us
have got to pull together.

Great half- time speech, Steven.
Let's win one for the old Gipper.

What's your problem?
- What is your problem, Adam?

You've been staring into space
since you walked in.

You two still don't get it, do you?

Sure, we have enough stock
to maintain control.

But they have enough clout

to influence every decision
this board makes.

Face it.
We've been outmanoeuvred.

There's a gentleman here
to see you, Mr. Carrington.

There's...?

Well, send him in, please, Lillian.

Maybe you'd better step outside
a moment, Mr. Carrington.

That won't be necessary, Lillian.
Thank you.

Is this some kind of a joke?

I'm afraid not.

I'm sorry to have to do it this way,
but you've left me no other choice.

This board's mismanagement
almost sent the pipeline under.

I can't let that happen.

You've made your entrance, Jeff.
Just tell us what you want.

A seat on the executive committee
overseeing all pipeline operations.

That's my only concern here.

And I wanna see Dex reinstated.

- Jeff, Dex quit.
- Because of you, Steven.

Now I'm rehiring him.

Don't fight me on this.

I have enough stock to mount
one hell of a proxy fight.

Well, it appears
we've met the enemy.

And Io, he is one of us.

Forget it.
I'm not going through with this.

What? We had a deal.
Not anymore.

I'm telling you,
I just can't go through with it.

How much more would it take?
- No, it's not the money. Take it.

I just want my wife back.

You should have thought of that
before you signed the agreement.

I will not let you interfere
with my baby.

I'm getting tired of being
told what I have to do.

That baby is as much Karen's
as it is yours.

Maybe I'll take your advice.
Maybe I'll get myself a lawyer.

You know what he'd tell you?

- You're acting like a damn fool.
- Maybe.

Maybe he'd tell me that you don't have
the right to pay me to get out of town.

That you can't buy people off
like that.

Well, what are you
gonna do now, Jesse?

Try and start a new
life with Karen?

You have no job,
you have no money.

You're blowing it, Jesse.

I don't think so.

If anything happens to my child,
I will destroy you.

You go to hell.

Hey, Jesse.

You know what happens to people who
play both sides? They get crushed.

Okay. I'm not playing
anybody's side anymore, okay?

Not yours, not the Carringtons'.
Here's your money back. It's all there.

Now, I brought you out here
to be Adam's worst nightmare.

I intend to see you finish the job.

Take it easy, friend.
You don't own me.

When that baby is born,
I'm taking my family

and I'm getting as far away
from you people as I possibly can.

No. No, you're not.
You're gonna stay in Denver

and you're gonna fight for custody.

You're crazy.

I'm not fighting for custody.
Not for you, not for anybody.

- How about Karen?
- You take your damned hand off me.

What kind of man are you?

She'll never forgive you
if you let them take her baby.

- I'm getting out of here.
- Listen to me.

You'll not be able to walk away
from this one!

No one gets away, Alexis.

No one.

Not even you.
