Previously on Dynasty
Hello, is this Oliver Knoble?
I'm a friend
of your ex-girlfriend. Kirby?
Cristal? You okay?
I have a brain tumor.
I got to be straight with Jeff,
so do you want me to tell him,
or do you want
to let him down first?
I like you both, so I was
planning on dating you both.
Good morning, handsome.
Sorry. I didn't mean
to wake you.
You traded a nonsinking house
for an empty hole in the ground.
And I will give you
the full 24 hours
to vacate the premises.
Thank you, Jeremiah.
And make sure
the rest of the staff knows
to remove all other vestiges
of Alexis's time here.
Taking a more active role
in management this time around?
Well, just making myself
a visible presence
so everyone knows
who's in charge.
And removing the havoc
of Alexis.
Which is everywhere.
It appears she has no interest
in claiming her possessions.
Well, that's not a problem.
We'll just collect it all
in a big pile for her.
If you see her, let her know
that anything still here
tomorrow will be donated.
And by donated, I mean burned.
Stop yelling at me!
I'll stop yelling
if you push harder.
You use your legs,
not your back.
Everyone knows that.
Oh.
Oh, God. You're as useless below
ground as you are above.
Oh, I'm sorry, is
my "trapped in a mine" behavior
not up to your standards?
Why don't you
do something?
Aside from hoarding
like a rodent.
It's called rationing.
This is all of the food
and water left by the miners.
We have been
down here for 24 hours
and we have no cell reception.
Don't be melodramatic.
Fallon and Adam
will send out a search party
the moment
they realize I'm gone.
Are you that deluded?
That moment is never coming.
They do not know or care
where you are.
You are their mother
in name only.
Now, if I were
trapped down here
with Blake,
we'd be saved already.
Alexis is gone,
and gluten is back, people.
Thank God, I was starting
to turn into a kale frittata.
Well,
it seems like today
is a day
of Carrington celebrations.
Oh, crap, is it
Fallon's birthday?
It's Adam's first day as
chief of staff at the hospital.
Very exciting,
even if it does
mean he already has
less time for his girlfriend.
That's great news, son.
I'm proud of you.
Blake?
Is everything okay?
Couldn't be better.
I'm back at the head
of the table
with the woman I love
by my side.
I'm just savoring the moment.
Blake, you're late
for our meeting!
Well, it was nice
while it lasted.
Well, I better be going as well.
Got to set a good example.
I'm late for a meeting
at the clinic as well.
- Do you think it's weird
everyone has a job
they're passionate about but me?
You know
that I'm your boss, right?
But I did take
this aptitude quiz.
This is how much the Scottish
castle restoration is costing?
Well, no one said
refurbishing a trebuchet
from 1412 was
gonna be cheap.
But it got us the land.
Maybe, but if you don't start
paying off these loans,
you'll be shuttering
entire divisions before
the end of the fiscal year.
You don't need to tell me
my company's in danger.
Okay? I already know.
But if our IPO is approved,
then it'll all work out.
I mean, I know that
it's a risky move to go public
in order to cover debt, but
Risky is when I let
the Tesla self-drive
with my eyes closed for fun.
This is way beyond that.
Look, SEC approval for this
usually averages around 25 days,
but I need it
to happen
in two.
Okay. Whose palms do
we need to grease?
The palms of my
assigned SEC officer.
Oh, Corinne Simpson.
We used to winter together
in St. Barts.
Nope. I misread.
"Corinne Simon."
Don't know her. Sorry.
Uh, I know Corinne Simon.
- How long has he been in here?
- He's quiet.
Corinne is an old
Van Kirk family friend.
I'd be happy to make a call
when I take my next break.
I'm researching a few
potential stories
Or I can take my break now.
Hey, Mom. Haven't heard
back from you yet.
But I was serious
about talking. Call me.
Hey, man.
What brings you in?
I don't suppose that was Mia
on the phone?
Was it supposed to be?
Remember how I said
I would stand down with Mia?
I did, but then I stood up.
And then we kissed.
Okay, did she send you here
to talk to me or something?
No, but I need to.
Because now she wants
to date the both of us.
I hope I didn't screw up
our friendship.
Relax. If Mia wants
to test-drive two
high-performing cars at once,
I say we let her.
A little friendly competition
never hurt anyone.
Ah. I'm glad you're chill
about this.
That makes me
feel a lot better
about the brunch date I
have with her in a few hours
- at L'Etoile.
- Oh, I'm super chill with it.
Because I'm seeing her
later tonight for dinner.
So I guess that's game on?
So, you know how
you're gonna play this tonight?
I got this. Somewhere--
after surf,
but well before turf--
I'll just
casually mention
that Fallon Unlimited needs
the review process
accelerated.
And if we've sufficiently
charmed her,
she'll think it's all her idea,
it'll be smooth sailing.
- Mm.
- I think you may need
to drop your anchor
for a second.
I just spoke with
some old VKI colleagues.
Turns out Corinne helped
my father take VKI public
back in the day.
And, uh
this extravaganza's got to go.
What? Why?
Who doesn't like
a little special treatment?
Corinne. Anything even
resembling a bribe
will end this faster
than you can say chowdah.
Well, I would never say that,
fast or slow.
Yeah, who said anything
about a bribe?
This is just a casual
dinner with a woman
who happens to love
- New England seafood.
- New England seafood.
Trust me, this is
how things are done.
Trust me, my father is
the one who knew her.
But, hey, if you won't
listen to my advice,
I don't need to be here tonight.
Okay, okay, okay. Fine.
We'll eighty-six
the tanks,
and the chefs, the helm.
And, you know, anything that
feels nautical or bribey.
And, uh, that means
you, too, Blake.
- What?
Why do I have to go?
I mean, Blake Carrington
in the room will smell fishier
than that seafood tower
I just saw wheeled in.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, but
I trust Liam.
Fine.
Don't come running to me
when things go south.
I'll be getting my
house back in order.
And I am taking
this lobster with me.
Can someone bring me
some melted butter?
Wait a minute, did you
Rent out the entire restaurant
and have them create
a special menu for us?
Guilty as charged.
I'm flattered.
And relieved.
I was worried no one else in
the city wanted to eat here.
Well, I figured we'd
cut out the noise
and distraction
on our first date,
really get to know
each other.
And I promise
to stop thinking about
our kiss the other night.
Though, if it happens again
I don't see kissing
anywhere on here.
Oh, that's an off-the-menu item.
Welcome, to the both of you.
This is a 1928 Krug champagne.
Our rarest vintage.
I-I don't think I
A Mr. Jeff Colby called
to have it sent over.
That is generous of him,
but I was thinking of something
that pairs better with the menu.
Not a problem.
Mr. Colby purchased
the restaurant's
entire wine cellar
for your enjoyment.
Uh, bit of a waste
for the two of us.
He mentioned anything
you don't use
will be donated to tomorrow's
One City, One Voice dinner.
I'll get you the wine list.
He already offered
to move the auction
to Club Colby for us.
He's in quite a charitable mood.
Yeah, he really is something.
If I'm dying, just tell me.
I can't tell you anything
until we do more tests.
What kind of tests?
Well, to start, an MRI.
You have a
considerable growth
near the nerve leading from
your inner ear to your brain.
Now, if we're lucky,
it's an acoustic neuroma, and
that would explain your vertigo.
That doesn't sound lucky.
It would mean
the tumor was benign.
But we need the scan. I'll call
Neurology to set it up.
Thank you for doing this.
And for not telling Blake.
Of course.
I don't want
to downplay anything.
There's still a long way to go
before you're out of the woods.
I have to admit, the lack of
frills tonight was refreshing.
Well, this is how we eat
most nights.
You know? Frill-less.
Well, you wouldn't believe
what some CEO-types
try to ply me with.
Fancy seafood?
Pricey vintages
of champagne?
Live lobster?
Point made, darling.
And more.
Which is why
it's been so pleasant to just
catch up with an old friend.
Well, now that we're
all old friends,
I do have a tiny,
little request to run by you.
Of course, I don't want
to cross any lines, but
I assume you want my help
moving along your SEC review?
Okay, you didn't tell me your
friend was a mind reader, Liam.
I saw your prospectus
come through this morning.
It's just impeccable.
So it's a yes, then.
No.
I can't get to it
for at least two months.
My dance card is quite packed
with companies
these days.
But their applications can't be
as good as mine, right?
I mean, you said "impeccable."
No, they're not.
Especially not the one
I'm working on right now.
Ooh. It's a tech company, I bet?
Millennials are the laziest.
More infomercial than anything,
but I can't talk about it.
Oh. Okay, okay, I understand.
So Corinne, when was the
last time we saw each other?
I know exactly when it was.
Your 18th birthday.
Oh, right.
My mother had too much
Chardonnay and fell in the pool.
Laura was in fine form.
The place
where they don't like you?
If that's a reality
you accept,
you're even sadder
than I thought.
The reality
is that none of our kids
care enough to find us.
It's just you and me.
get your child-neglecting ass
over here and move a rock.
Okay, well, thanks
to Corinne's clues,
I was able to scour
the SEC's time line
and as soon as I buy out a
company called Spartan Shakes,
a spot will open up,
which is, uh
Clearly you're paying
no attention to me.
On my 18th birthday,
a VKI tanker broke down,
and my father
only told four people.
Now, we were all
sworn to secrecy
so VKI could take the week
to strategize.
So as far as the world knew,
it happened a week later,
on this date.
I feel like this has nothing
to do with my IPO launch.
Before the story broke,
a ton of stock was unloaded.
People had clearly
been tipped off,
and my father was accused
of insider trading,
a charge he denied
until the day he died.
Well, is it that crazy to think
that a man who impregnated
his son's girlfriend
also dabbled
in illegal stock trading?
But if Corinne knew
on my 18th birthday,
she might've been the one
tipping people off.
I need to talk to her.
No. No, no, no, no.
That's exactly what you
need not to do.
I need Corinne's approval, okay?
And if you start to scare her,
then my IPO is DOA.
But Fallon, this could
exonerate my father.
Who? The man who's been dead
for years? I think he can wait.
Resting peacefully, of course.
Hey.
Promise me
that you will not
reach out to Corinne
until after the SEC paperwork's
cleared.
Fine.
I promise.
So, what do you think?
Do the tannins
taste different up here?
Neither of us actually knows
what tannins are, right?
Not really.
But you've always been the
classy one in this operation.
Jeff,
this is really lovely,
but why a hot-air balloon?
Ouch. Okay.
You really don't
remember our first date?
What, like,
our first first date?
You told me that you had a dream
to look down on every
state from a hot-air balloon.
I don't remember saying that.
But it's sweet you did.
Well, you make being
a good listener pretty easy.
Wow.
"Look west, and enjoy the show.
"Have a great time tonight.
Love and lights, Michael."
Looks like Mr. Culhane is paying
you back for the wine cellar.
Yeah. Guess so.
What a guy.
So, how's the bartending going?
Have we found your calling?
If I have to listen
to one more sob story,
I'm going to stick
a maraschino cherry in my eye.
I think I just
need to accept
that my boyfriend is boring,
my job is boring,
and I am,
by association Oliver?
Who?
- My ex,
from back in Australia.
Well, if he looked like that
when you broke up with him,
then shame on you, honey.
Cover for me? Thanks.
Oliver.
What are you doing here?
Kirby Anders?
Is that really you?
Or is this hotel
called La Mirage for a reason?
How about you answer
my question?
'Cause I'm kind of
freaking out right now.
I'm here for a photography gig.
I can't believe this.
You look
You do, too.
We're complimenting
each other, right?
You've really cleaned up a lot.
At least, on the outside.
Inside, too, I hope.
Maybe you can see for
yourself over dinner?
I have a boyfriend.
And he doesn't allow you to eat?
Fine, forget about dinner.
But I won't let this
serendipity go to waste.
How about you come by the
photo shoot tomorrow morning?
Okay. That sounds safe.
I mean, it's not like
I have much else going on.
This woman saved every piece
of paper she's ever had.
Should you be rifling
through that?
Oh, no, this is gonna be good.
It says "Manor."
Oh, probably all her decorating
ideas she never got around to.
There's a lot of that,
some notes
about calling lawyers
to countersue.
Receipt for a wire transfer
to Adam for $200,000?
It's a forwardingaddress.
To the same town where
we had our refinery explosion.
Well, that could mean anything.
No, it means one thing.
It means that Adam
fronted the money
to some local
for the attack on C.A.
Which means that Adam
played a key role
in destroying my life.
Betrayal and hurt
are valid emotions.
In fact, it's probably
what Adam felt
when you almost
left him for dead in Moldavia.
Are you telling me
I deserved this?
No, no, it's just
that you've fought so hard
to get back to where you are.
You don't want to throw it away
in a fit of rage.
We need to move on
to the next look.
Can someone get me
an ETA on Mirabella?
I never really thought
you'd make it as a professional.
Mostly because
you were always high.
Ouch. But fair.
Until yesterday, I wasn't
even sure if you were alive.
I think the last time
I saw you was
when I left you
on the steps at the ER.
I should've stayed.
No, absolutely not.
You were right to leave.
What we had was fun, but I took
you down a dangerous path.
You skipping town
was the wake-up call I needed.
I checked myself into rehab
the next day.
It seems like you've really made
something of yourself.
It's very impressive.
Mm. Kind of inspiring.
Mirabella's out.
She broke up with her boyfriend,
shaved her head, now the entire
show's palette is off.
And who is she and who reps her?
Oh, this is my friend Kirby.
Perfect. We need a redhead.
Oh. Uh, I'm-I'm not a model.
And I'm really more of
a strawberry blonde.
Weren't you just telling me
that you're bored at work?
You'd actually be
doing us a favor.
Oh
Corinne!
What a nice surprise.
Hi, Fallon. I just came
to give you the good news
that Spartan Shakes,
the company impeding
your approval,
withdrew from the calendar.
That's unbelievable.
What's unbelievable is Liam
investigating my supposed misconduct
at the SEC.
Liam?
Well, that sounds
like a mistake.
I hope so.
Otherwise
you'll be waiting a long time
to get on my calendar.
Get him to drop it.
Uh, thank you so much
for the opportunity, Jordanna.
Uh-- No, you have a good day.
- Didn't get it?
- They want me back
for the rest of the shoot.
Well, I guess that quiz was
wrong about you being a helper.
Well, no, I'm gonna
help the world realize
how fantastic I look
in designer clothing.
Wait, I need to text Oliver.
Hold on.
Is he gonna be the photographer
the whole time?
Yeah, but it's not a big deal.
Look, take it from me.
It can be confusing
and heart-wrenching
to work with an ex.
You think you can
be professional,
and then the light hits
in just the right way,
and then it's too late.
Oh, my God.
You slept with Fletcher.
Of course I did.
And I feel awful
about it, okay?
I keep avoiding Fletcher,
I keep avoiding Ryan,
I can't even look
in the mirror. It's terrible.
Oh, I'm sorry you're going
through that, Sammy Jo,
but I'm gonna be fine,
I promise. Okay?
Adam and I are purely platonic.
Oliver.
I mean, Oliver and I.
Yeah. That's not
concerning at all.
So, when's lunch getting here?
I'm kind of hungry.
Soon.
In the meantime, how's your
search for a new story coming?
Pretty good
Lies.
I know
you're investigating Corinne.
There's not gonna be
any lunch, is there?
Lunch is only for well-behaved
husbands who follow orders.
So, what,
now you're General Fallon?
I have to do
exactly as you say
and salute every time I see you?
That's not gonna happen.
This is a real story, Fallon.
I'm meeting with a former
VKI colleague of my dad's
who's behind bars
for insider trading.
I don't know,
maybe he was set up, too.
And what is this loser's name?
You don't know him.
His name's Harold.
And technically,
I did just as you asked.
I didn't reach out to Corinne.
Oh, really, Liam?
A loophole defense?
Obviously Corinne
was going to find out,
which she did,
and threaten
to hold up my approval,
which she also did.
Wait, wait, wait. Corinne's
holding your approval hostage?
I mean, Fallon, right there,
that's basically
an admission of guilt.
I don't care if she admitted
to shooting Lincoln, Liam.
I need her stamp of approval
to move forward.
I mean, do you have any idea
what I have riding on this?
We're supposed to be a team.
No, no, no, no, no..
If we were a team,
you wouldn't ask me
to sacrifice something
you know I have
a personal stake in.
I know you make more money
than I do,
but my goals aren't
any less important than yours.
Hey, Mom, it's me again.
It's clear you're ignoring me
for whatever reason,
so I'm gonna respect
your wishes.
I won't be calling anymore.
Well, well, well.
If it isn't the wine king.
Thank you for that.
No, thank you
for those fireworks.
I mean, it really brightened
up a date that was
already pretty hot.
This is gonna get awkward
pretty soon.
One of us should
probably bow out.
Hmm, or maybe when
this event is done,
we can just let Mia decide.
Sounds like a plan to me.
As long as there's no jockeying
for position here.
Truce tonight?
You got it.
I'm gonna go check out
the silent auction.
Mia mentioned it was important
for tonight's success.
So
I don't do this often.
So you'd better
cherish the moment.
I'm sorry for causing
the cave-in.
It's not your fault.
We're both being punished
for our sins.
You want to talk about sins?
Honey, mine could run laps
around yours.
I seriously doubt that.
You are talking to the woman
who purposefully
gave food poisoning to Ashanti.
I flew Kirby's ex-boyfriend here
all the way from Australia
so he could break up
her relationship with my son.
Which is hopefully
happening right now.
I slept
with my stepdaughter's boyfriend
for the publicity
of a love triangle scandal.
I hired a man to cut off
his finger and pretend
to be my long-lost
kidnapped son.
Severed finger, you win.
Mm.
Wait.
You slept with Michael Culhane?
Indeed.
Oh!
Good for you.
It was.
I lied yesterday.
I'm not at peace
in my relationship with Jeff.
Not by a long shot.
And I know that I've done a lot
of harm to Fallon and Adam.
Neglect and manipulation
of our children.
That's the sin we're paying for.
Great.
My heartrate is slowing.
We're probably
running out of air.
Well
I hope the champagne in hell
isn't too burned.
The mass is a stage-four
glioblastoma.
Well
what are my options?
Given the proximity
of the tumor
to the brain stem, I
I don't think
it's operable.
I'm so sorry.
So if I try to have surgery,
I die?
And if I don't I die?
We're gonna get
the best oncologists
and the best neurologists
in the world on this.
If there's a way out of this,
we're gonna find it.
But we probably won't.
So what do I do now?
I think the time has come for
you to tell the people you love.
Starting with Blake.
Okay, y'all. It's the moment
you've been waiting for.
The silent auction is closed,
and I have the winning bids
listed right here.
Let's start big.
The all-expenses-paid trip
to Paris for two.
Ooh là l.
And the winner is
one of tonight's sponsors,
Michael Culhane.
A double thank you
to him.
On to another big item.
The beautiful
XSR48 powerboat.
And this one goes to
the very generous owner
of tonight's venue,
Jeff Colby.
Clocks in a little higher
than your weekend getaway, huh?
I'm not worried.
And the private dinner for 12
goes to Michael Culhane.
Again.
One moment, please.
I have to apologize.
Seems that there may have been
a malfunction
in the bidding process.
Drinking while
distantly staring into the fire.
Not a good sign.
Well, such is the custom
when you've spent
the afternoon in jail
blackmailing a
felon into silence.
It hasn't been the best day.
What's that?
Did you get Blake
a "welcome back to
the manor" present?
I'm sure he would love
another portrait of himself.
It's actually for you.
It was gonna be
your wedding gift,
but that day didn't go
quite as planned.
Then I was gonna give it to you
for your anniversary,
but
why wait?
Oh.
My wedding invitation.
People always remember
to frame their wedding photos,
but sometimes
it's the little things
that feel the most special.
You and Blake seem good.
We are.
Great, actually.
Losing C.A.
might have been bad for him,
but it was good for us.
He finally treats me
like an equal,
which is all I ever wanted.
Right.
I mean, after all,
marriage is a partnership.
Anyway, I'm sorry
it was such a hellacious road
for you to get there.
Me, too.
I wish we hadn't wasted
all that time.
Such a precious thing.
Thanks for
celebrating with me,
but I should probably
call it a night.
I promised Adam I'd be
home when he got back.
Oh, I didn't realize
you'd gotten married.
And were living
in the 1950s.
You gonna make him
a nice pot roast
when you
get back, too?
Come on. Stay out
a little bit longer.
Or are you really so determined
to be that boring?
Fine.
But if I stay out,
I'm gonna need shots,
if that's okay.
Of course. I mean,
I don't drink, but I'm no saint.
If you're gonna hit the hard
stuff, I think I might
Actually, don't worry about it.
I'll be back.
Where are you going
and why are you being
so mysterious?
Look, it's not a big deal.
I'm just going to the bathroom
for a quick bump of, um
energy.
Ah.
So when you said
you were "sober"
I am. Basically.
I'm just fighting
a nasty bout of jet lag
and I could use
the help.
And I don't want
to tempt you with it
because you're in a different,
less adventurous place,
and I totally respect that.
Actually
if you want me to
stay out with you,
I'm gonna need a
little energy, too.
I don't have to be
boring every night.
We, uh, owe you an apology.
Yeah. We know
how that looked.
Did you at least salvage
the auction?
Yes. Second highest
bidder wins the item.
And we'll cover the difference
in the cost for the charity.
Great.
But your little game
of one-upping makes it clear
that dating you both
is not going to work.
We agree.
Which is why we think
you should make the choice,
before this gets
any weirder.
Here's my choice.
You two should date each other.
You both are
great guys, but
I don't want to get
in the middle of a friendship.
We're really
not that close.
No.
Jeff,
we keep saying
it's timing, but
I'm starting to think that
it's just not meant to happen.
And, Michael,
we work really well together.
And that's how
we should've kept it.
You're both gonna find
someone great one day.
Hopefully, it's not
the same someone.
Mia's right.
Things would've got ugly
between us.
Yeah. Yeah. It could've
got a whole lot uglier.
Especially if your
scorned ex-wife Alexis
had shown up like
I asked her to.
Damn.
But she never called me back.
She's been
unreachable.
Really?
I-I haven't been able
to reach Dominique either.
I hope I'm not the reason
you and Corinne
had to stay late
tonight.
You are.
Liam?
How did you
I "found your phone."
I was just at the prison.
And you had the nerve
to call me deceitful?
Maybe you can explain
to me why the only thing that
Harold Duffy seemed to remember
was the finale of The Sopranos?
Would you please stop?
You're embarrassing
Mallory. And I'm fine.
I know what you did, Fallon.
Your name was
on the visitors' log.
Okay, well, they promised me
they weren't gonna
show you that.
Is this a game to you?
Or are you this determined
to tank my career
just to prioritize yours?
Unfortunately,
Corinne is ready for you.
Liam! Hold on.
Come in with me.
Really. I want
everyone to hear this.
Not you, Mallory.
We're going
to die here,
all alone,
leaving a sad legacy
of secrets and lies.
Well if this is really it,
I sure could use a confessional.
I don't think we're finding
a priest down here.
My ears are
all you got,
holy or not.
Fine.
Bless me, Alexis,
for I have sinned.
I actually got married again
15 years ago,
shortly after
I left Cecil.
Wasn't a long time
before it didn't work.
It got so messy.
The divorce got tied up
in court,
and the dissolution
was never finalized.
So, technically
I'm still married.
He doesn't know.
No one does.
Not even my kids.
When Fallon and
Steven were little,
I had an affair while I
was still married to Blake.
Yes. Another one.
We were barely speaking
at the time
and I had a fling
with my yoga instructor.
It didn't mean
anything, except
I got pregnant.
So I suggested a trial
separation from Blake,
and I moved to Europe
for five months,
where I had the baby.
I gave her to a
distant relative
to raise as her own.
And now I have
a second cousin
who I barely know
who is actually my daughter.
I don't have anything snarky
to say, Alexis.
Deserved or not,
we've both experienced
a lot of pain.
Is that machinery?
Alexis! Dominique!
Are you down there?!
I don't understand.
Are you sure?
I have officially decided
to withdraw my application.
I will resubmit it to a
different office of the SEC,
where you can't touch it.
This will be a
financial setback
and maybe even
a public one.
But
it's a risk
I'm willing to take
to support
my husband's work.
Fallon, this
isn't what I meant.
You don't have
to give it all up.
No. I never should
have sabotaged you.
We are a team.
Corinne is
the villain here.
Holding my company hostage
to cover your ass?
I hope you look good
in prison sweats.
You have it all wrong.
Or do I have it all right?
I never should've stalled
your application.
I'm sending it through
immediately.
And I was trying
to steer Liam away
from this investigation, but
not for the reasons you think.
I was protecting you.
I don't want your protection.
I just want to know the truth.
The truth is your
father was caught up
in a powerful
insider trading ring,
and he confessed to me,
hoping I could
help him expose it.
Why didn't you tell someone?
Because things got scary.
And I have a family of my own.
A family I'm putting in danger
by telling you this even now.
After what happened to John
What do you mean,
"what happened to John"?
Liam, I'm so sorry,
but I don't believe your
father's death was an accident.
I think he was murdered.
Well,
I think I'll walk
these guys out.
So, I assume we can agree
that what was said in the cave
stays in the cave?
You mean the secrets? Of course.
Though you can tell mine
to whomever you want.
Since I made it up.
Only you would use a near-death
experience for your own gain.
Well, Alexis looks pissed.
So I'm guessing things
are status quo between you two.
We're fine.
Thanks again for saving us.
I was trying to get ahold
of you for days.
I wanted to tell you
that it's time for us
to put the past in the past.
All I could think about
while I was down there
was how much I wanted
to fix our relationship.
Well, here's to a fresh start.
Why are you still here and
dressed like a Burrito Supreme?
I've had a rough couple of days.
I don't suppose
you noticed I was gone.
I've been busy.
But I'm guessing you were
I want to say camping?
I was trapped
in a collapsed mine.
I barely survived.
Thanks for asking.
Okay. I'm sorry, but
maybe this was the universe
putting you in a time-out.
I mean, you never deserved
this house in the first place.
But
I am happy that you're okay.
Text me where you're staying.
Maybe we can
meet for lunch sometime.
Because I probably
deserve worse.
I'm your father,
and I should always protect you.
I didn't do that in Moldavia.
Betraying family
is unforgivable.
And I started the cycle.
But now I havea chance
to rebuild, to be a better man,
a better father
and a better husband.
And I'm not
gonna throw
that chance away for anything,
especially not for revenge.
And I promise you that,
from this moment on,
my loyalty will never waver.
Not sure
what that was, but it sounded
very level-headed.
The high road is exhausting.
No wonder
I don't take it that much.
What have you got there?
Oh. Um, just some files
from the clinic.
Nothing important.
I thought maybe
we could hit the hot tub.
The one at La Mirage
didn't have great jets and
wasn't in our bedroom.
I would like nothing more.
Back to work on the IPO.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
But I'm not thrilled with
what it took to get there.
Or how I treated you.
It's okay.
I forgive you.
And, luckily,
I don't see our careers going
head-to-head again like that
anytime soon.
Though if they do,
then we'll figure out a way
to support each other.
How are you holding up?
I know you don't like talking
about your dad's death.
Yeah.
I guess I was just ashamed.
He drowned in a lake
after falling off his boat.
Cops found six empty bottles
of scotch in the cabin.
There was nothing suspicious
about it.
Yeah, it was just, uh
Well, it was
shocking, I'm sure.
It was pathetic.
That man was my hero.
If Corinne is right
if my dad was murdered,
I need to find out the truth.
Okay.
But you heard her.
Those are dangerous people,
and this is your life.
Which is why
I have to go.
I've already tracked down
a lead
who can get me closer
to the truth.
Corinne's former boss.
He works at a corporate
think tank in Washington.
Liam,
listen to me, okay?
This is not worth the risk
of getting hurt.
Yeah, but it is.
If my father
was murdered,
then maybe he wasn't just
some drunk that I barely knew.
He can be my dad again,
at least in memory.
My plane's off
in an hour.
So I'm leaving you copies
of my research and itinerary
so you know
exactly where I'll be.
Just in case.
I really don't want you
to do this.
I know.
But it's something
I need to do, Fallon.
Can you feel it coming
In the air tonight
Oh, Lord
I love you.Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord.
