Dynasty (2017) s04e18 Episode Script

1
Previously on Dynasty You're my biological father?
Yeah. It's true.
Sometimes it would be nice
to see you
as excited about our marriage
as you are about work.
Liam, that's not fair.
Sorry to interrupt date night.
I just need
to see Fallon for a moment.
I thought
she was at the office with you.
You impress me more and more.
The feeling's mutual.
We might make
a good team after all.
Give 'em attitude
Oh, okay, okay, time out.
I'm all for the "Float
like a butterfly" part, but
I'm starting to take the "Sting
like a bee" a bit personally.
- Are you mad at me?
- What?
- Of course not.
- Well, then,
you need to listen to
some Enya or something.
You're aggro.
I'm just a little on edge.
My brother's on his way here
to discuss some urgent matter
involving my dad.
Hot brother Beto? How fun!
Or
not so fun?
I don't understand.
I thought you two
were all good again.
So did I.
And then I never heard
from him after my surgery.
Or my dad.
Now I'm just expected to
drop everything for them?
No. No more punching
until we talk this out.
What is there to talk about?
They ignored me
when I was dying.
Well, maybe Beto's
coming here to apologize.
At least hear him out
before you write him off.
If it makes you feel any better,
you can have him stay
at La Mirage.
That'll give you a buffer
and me someone nice to look at.
A win-win.
Okay. Thank you, Sam.
You're right.
I should give him a chance.
Uh-huh. Thank you, Penny.
I knew it.
You knew what?
And why do you have to
know it when I'm sleeping?
That was one of my cousins.
Apparently,
there was an insurance dispute
when one
of the Morell grannies
kicked the bucket
a couple months ago,
and my lovely sister Amanda
played dirty
to get a fortune
she wasn't owed.
- And?
- And she failed, but
as part of her plan,
she pretended
to be this, you know, prim and
proper princess, which, okay,
she clearly is not,
and that's exactly what
- she's gonna do to Blake.
- And you're basing
all this off a few photos
and a cousin
you've probably never met?
Okay, first of all,
Polly and I are
- Penny.
- Yeah, Penny.
We're very close.
And as the head of this family,
it's my job to find out
what Amanda is up to
before she jets back to London
with half of our dynasty.
I mean, Who knows what this
walking keg stand has planned?
Oh, that sounds like
a great use of your time.
Okay, are we gonna talk
about what's going on with you?
Because it couldn't be colder
in here.
And it has been
ever since the other night.
Oh, you mean the night
you decided
our outdoor dinner wasn't
exciting enough for you?
Wait. That's what this is about?
I thought we agreed
that we were both at fault
for how that played out.
I think you agreed
more than I did.
Look, I'm gonna take a shower
and hit the bouldering gym.
Wait. Hold on. Hold on.
Why don't you come
to the office today for lunch?
Okay, we can plan a vacation.
I think we could both use one.
Sure, I'll see you later. I
Wait. It's my P.I.
Oh, my God.
He's calling about Amanda stuff.
This is gonna be good.
Hello? Talk to me.
Purple?
What? Next,
you're gonna be telling me
I should put my preferred
pronouns on there, too.
"Carrington for the future."
It's simple, exudes strength.
Cavendish is
Shouldn't that give you
a sympathy bump?
Maybe, but not knowing I had
a daughter for the past 20 years
is not exactly
father-of-the-year material.
No, I need a big shift,
which is why
I'm focusing on the demographic
I should be doing better with.
- Black voters?
- Mm-hmm.
My numbers are way down,
which is weird,
because I'm usually beloved
by the Black community.
Oh, you are?
Yes, I had a great record
with my hiring practices
at C.A.,
not to mention the impact
the foundation had on
neighborhoods of color.
So get out there
and tout that record.
Yeah, well, if I'm gonna
remind the Black community
how much they love me,
I need to really show I care.
How are you gonna do that?
By getting someone else
to tout my record for me.
Hmm.
I didn't know
about the cancer.
I swear. I just
found out.
How is that possible?
I left messages for Dad.
There's a lot
going on back home.
- Detective Soto?
- Uh-huh.
I don't understand.
Are you in trouble
with the Feds?
Dad is. When the charges
started piling up,
he decided to lie low.
And the responsibilities
of the business fell on me,
which is why
he probably kept me in the dark.
He knew that I would
leave to be with you.
It's also why I'm cooperating
with the authorities.
- We could use your help.
- My help?
With evidence
of international crime,
they could arrest him today.
You want me
to turn over evidence
of the rigged gambling machines
at the Atlantix stadium?
That's all they need.
The Feds are pretty much
just waiting to grab him.
He's still our father, Beto.
I want out, Cristal.
I want to have the freedom
to live my own life,
the way you do.
Hello.
Sorry to interrupt.
Here's your room key
and some drink tickets.
Hey, Sam. Uh,
you're looking well.
You, too.
Thanks, Sam.
But that won't be necessary.
Beto's gonna stay at the manor.
Oh. Well, feel free
to keep the drink tickets.
So,
our rising legal superstar?
Turns out, she's not.
She was fired
from her firm a month ago
for highly confidential reasons.
So I guess her full-time job
is now coming
after the Carrington money?
Exactly. And look at this.
A petition for a name change?
She wants to become
"Amanda Carrington"
after being here for two weeks?
I need to put an end
to this today.
Get something on the books.
Excuse me?
While I always enjoy
a good two-woman show,
I thought we were going
to discuss the future
of my stake in Fallon Unlimited.
We are in a minute.
You're booked in shareholders
meetings through tomorrow.
I can reschedule your lunch
with Liam.
This Amanda thing's important.
He'll understand.
I hope you're right.
Okay, I guess I can call him
after my next meeting ends.
Oh, he'll probably be
on the road by then.
- I'll handle it.
I don't know why
you're getting so worked up
about this Amanda character.
She seems fun.
- Is she single?
- I don't know, but you're not.
Incorrect.
Divorced about a month ago,
but that's besides
the point. Um,
what do I have to do with this?
I need you to pull
some posh British strings
and get me some intel
on why Amanda was fired.
This might come as a surprise,
but I don't know everyone
in London.
She was fired
from Buckley Chance,
okay, the firm that your family
has on retainer.
So, what do I get from this?
You know, the satisfaction
of helping out a fellow CEO
and board member?
Actually, if you're desperate
enough to call me,
then I'm setting
the terms myself.
A favor of my choosing.
- No.
- Well,
guess you'll never know
why Amanda was fired.
Fine. It's a deal.
Although, I'm sure
I'll live to regret this.
I'm sure we both will.
That's what makes it so fun.
Dominique, you've
been busy lately, huh?
I hear you and Fallon
are working together.
Yes, I'm prepping
for a photo shoot
we're having in here
next week.
Working hard for the money.
Not really Carrington behavior.
Well, you're a Carrington,
so I guess it is now, huh?
You know, I've been
giving it some thought,
and if you're not
too busy with this,
I-I think that you should
join me on the campaign trail.
Interesting. And why are you
asking me about this now?
Well, I think it's important
that the voters see us
as one, big happy family.
Oh. I assumed it was because
you're underperforming
with Black voters.
But what do I know?
Well, I could have
more than one reason
for wanting my sister
by my side, can't I?
This is as insulting
as it is transparent.
Do you really think
people aren't going to see
through your little charade?
It's not a charade.
I'm serious when I say
I want this to work
for everyone.
Just need your support.
Well,
at least
you're being honest now.
You know, if you're not gonna
do it for me,
do it for yourself.
Think of the benefits of having
a brother as a senator, right?
All the doors it'll open,
a bigger profile,
expanded social circle.
True, if I could get a senator
wearing one of my suits,
or even a First Lady,
- my business will skyrocket.
- Exactly.
We can discuss that,
- you know, at some point.
- Fine.
But if I help,
we're doing it my way,
no questions asked.
That filet is a perfect 145
degrees. Why haven't you eaten?
Oh, I'm sorry. I've been
going through my dad's stuff
at the manor.
It's making me anxious.
How many leather journals
can you possibly look at?
Well, there's other stuff, too.
I found out
he collected kookaburras.
Like on stamps, plates,
little statuettes.
Mm, lover of weird birds doesn't
go with the Anders I knew,
but that does sound
vaguely familiar.
Why is it making you anxious?
It's not the birds.
- It's this.
- What is that?
It's a flash drive. I found it
with a note on it telling me
to "watch upon my death."
Making demands
from beyond the grave?
Now that's the Anders I knew.
What's on it?
I don't know yet.
It's dated from a few years ago,
and we weren't in a good place,
so it's probably a lecture.
Your father dials you
from the hereafter,
and you're not taking his call?
Oh, if that's not bad mojo,
I don't know what is.
But I'm nervous.
Just pop it in
and see what he says.
If he starts yelling,
well, stop.
I guess I can do that.
I mean, it's not like
he can throw me out again.
At least I don't think he can.
As of this morning, the deed
to that decommissioned
oil rig is mine,
thanks to your intel.
Glad I could help.
Now I just need a senator to
sponsor a bill making it legal
to launch rockets
off the coast of Georgia.
I already spoke
to Blake's opponent.
And what'd Cavendish have
to say?
For my support, he's willing
to introduce
the Georgia Offshore Space Bill
within his first ten days
of office.
Look, I know it was my idea
to support Cavendish,
but the more I read up on his
politics, the more I worry.
Look, I know
Cavendish isn't perfect, okay,
but politics is all trades
and favors.
If you support
him, too,
you can negotiate
for some incentives of your own.
Find that karmic balance.
And at the end
of the day,
anyone is better than Blake.
Facts.
Hey.
You're here.
Yeah. For lunch with Fallon.
Like now?
Fallon's at the manor
with her sister.
She said that it was urgent and
that she was going to tell you.
You've got to be kidding me.
Actually, I think
maybe I was supposed
to tell you myself.
I am so sorry either way.
It's-it's not your fault.
It's not about who's telling me.
It's about what she's doing.
You
You know what? Never mind.
I'll let you get back to work.
Oh, um, you have
a little something.
Just
Oh, yeah. I just came from the
bouldering gym down the street.
The chalk just gets everywhere.
- Atlanta Boulders?
- Yeah.
No way. I just joined
there a couple weeks ago.
Maybe I'll see you
there some time.
Yeah, that could be fun.
Oh, in the meantime,
enjoy a gluten-free vegan wrap
with dressing on the side
because I know I won't.
Oh, I don't think
I need another one.
- Thank you.
- Oh, sure you do!
It's important to
lay down a nice base
of alcohol
before food arrives.
And I still have more questions.
Oh, really? Is this
a casual sister tea time,
or a full-blown interrogation?
I'm bad at small talk,
and I want to know
as much as I can about my sister
before you go back to London.
So, next question.
Greatest fear?
Is that really?
Um
Well, I'm a bit claustrophobic,
if you must know.
Okay. Well,
I will tell the staff
to put paper bags
in the panic room
for the next time you visit.
You see how important this is?
- Mm.
- Oh, good!
Look. The food is here.
So, let's talk
about your career.
An associate at Buckley Chance.
I mean, that is pretty
impressive at such a young age.
They must really like you.
Yes, well, it was very gracious
of them to offer me a sabbatical
so I could get
- to know you all.
- Hmm.
Is "sabbatical" British for
"I got fired a month ago"?
I wasn't fired.
I was forced out.
Mm-hmm. That's what people
who were fired say.
It doesn't really sound
any better.
You know, there's much more
to the story,
none of which is your business.
Actually,
this family is my business.
Well, I don't work for you.
What's going on here?
Hold that thought. Hey.
I'm so happy you're here.
I'm sorry I had
to reschedule, but now,
you can help me finish off
Amanda and send her on her way.
This is why
you bailed on me?
To destroy your sister?
I'll pass. You don't need
my help with that.
Wait. Liam, please.
Ugh.
Was quite the cold shoulder
back there.
How long has that
been going on?
Nothing's going on.
Well, that's obvious.
I mean, care to discuss it,
sister to sister?
I am not talking
about my marriage with you.
I understand. Well,
don't worry. We'll have plenty
of time for that anyway.
You know, I hadn't
made my mind up, but I think
you've just convinced me
to stay in Atlanta.
I don't think
that's a good idea.
Well, why not?
As your snooping suggests,
I don't have anything
to go home to.
There's much more
for me right here.
Anyway, thank you
for the treats.
Mmm.
I worry about you, Kirby.
I worry about you
messing up your life
in various different ways,
until eventually,
I'm not around to fix it.
I guess
since you're watching this,
that point has been reached,
so let me share
a few life lessons.
Ugh. I knew
it was gonna be another lecture.
Don't take everything
so personally.
You fall for their tricks,
you take
There is one very important
person I need you to find.
So write this down.
In fact, I'll wait for a second
for you to get a pen.
The address is
5295 Swafford Road.
Her name is Victoria.
I think you'll like her.
She's a lot like you, actually.
And she has something
very important to tell you
that will change your life.
- What?
- Kirby?
Is that Anders?
He left me this video
to watch, but
now I think I might have
a secret sister.
A sister? You sure?
No. It could be a cousin.
Wait. You're checking in on me.
Does that mean
we're friends again?
Let's not label things just yet.
Uh, so, what are you gonna do
about this, uh,
secret sister, cousin thing?
I'm gonna meet this woman
and have my life changed.
Equity and inclusion in hiring
were not just a priority at C.A.
They were a guiding principle.
So believe me when I say
that as a senator,
I will do everything I can
to continue
to improve the lives
of Black Georgians.
Do you think you're the first
white politician
who's come in here
making all kinds of promises
to get our endorsement?
Uh, well, I I assume not.
Um, but I am sincere.
Everyone says they're sincere,
just-just like you.
Well, if you help get my foot in
the door, we could build trust.
And once they get elected--
thanks to us--
do you know what happens next?
Nothing.
The Black community has
historically and consistently
seen no benefit
from their vote.
And then,
people like you
come in here, thinking we can't
see what you're trying to do,
but-but we can.
Uh, we recognize pandering
when we see it.
Reverend, I'm sorry if you No, don't be sorry.
Instead of telling us
what you're gonna do,
why don't you tell us
how you're gonna do it?
That's what matters.
Well, I would need some
I don't have all the answers
at the moment.
I would have to take a look
at all the options.
Yeah. That sounds about right.
Hmm.
My brother will put in the work,
and get back to you
with more specifics.
Thank you all for your time.
Of course.
Your mother was a dear friend.
I know. She always spoke
so highly of you.
Thank you all
for, um, listening.
If there's anything else
I can do
Stop talking right now.
Be blessed.
Well, can't you get your contact
to move faster?
I thought Brits were punctual.
Hilarious as always.
All right. Bye, Colin.
- Who's Colin?
- Adam!
We talked about this!
Either wear a bell
around your neck or
announce yourself.
Okay, so, what's this emergency
that you summoned me
from an actual emergency room?
It's Amanda.
She is poor, jobless, desperate,
and I think she's come here
to steal as much as she can
from this family.
She's harmless,
and she's leaving soon.
Wrong, as usual.
She is staying indefinitely,
or at least
until she can figure out
how to ruin everything
I've built.
Cool. Okay, this was great.
I'm gonna go now.
Well, I also think
that Alexis has recruited Amanda
to destroy Blake from within.
Do you know something I don't?
Yes, I do.
We can't let
mini-Alexis
worm her way in.
I need to make Amanda
realize she has to go home.
But I can't do it alone.
I assume there's a plan
somewhere hidden on that board?
All we have to do is prey
on her greatest fear.
I don't know.
I'm kind of reformed these days.
And I'm-I'm not worried
about Amanda.
Oh. Well, you should be.
I mean, do you really trust
our mother with a growing army?
And once they're done
with Blake,
who do you think
they're gonna turn on next?
What if I'm not ready
to meet a new family member?
Is it weird
that I brought flowers?
You weren't supposed
to say yes, Sam!
Yes, I know
I need to stop lurking.
Fine. Bye.
Excuse me?
Can I help you?
Oh, my God. Hi.
Yes. I'm Kirby.
Oh, Kirby Anders?
Wow. It's so great
to finally meet you.
I wasn't expecting you today.
You've been expecting me?
Well, at some point, sure.
Is that your natural hair color?
Uh, yeah. Well, sometimes I get
highlights, but
Okay, um,
this is a really
big moment.
Can I get, like,
a glass of water or something?
Wait. Who do you think?
You're my sister, right?
Uh, or are you my real mother?
Oh, no. Is this, like,
a Chinatown situation?
I'm your father's estate lawyer.
I'm not related to you.
In any way.
I am just Mr. Anders' attorney.
- Oh.
- Uh,
but I have something for you.
I would've gotten this
to you sooner,
but I've been out of town.
Another hard drive? Seriously?
A week before Mr. Anders died,
something compelled him
to change his assets he wanted
payable upon his death.
I assume
the explanation is on there.
I am sorry for your loss.
Your father was a great man.
Certainly one
who loved mini hard drives.
You're looking
extra dapper today.
Is that a new scent?
Vetiver and Baltic sea mist.
And I always look and smell
this dapper. I'm a hotelier.
Mm-hmm. It couldn't possibly
have anything to do
with Beto staying at the manor?
No.
Well, maybe. I mean,
he's handsome and mysterious,
and I'm only human, okay?
And, uh,
I might've seen
he was 73 feet away on
an app I don't
really use that often.
Relax. I didn't come here
to tease you about my brother.
What's that?
A record of correspondences
with my father.
All about
installing the rigged gambling machines
at the Atlantix stadium.
It's what
Beto wants.
Are you gonna give it to him?
I wouldn't even consider it
if I knew Silvio would never
have the power to hurt
or manipulate me ever again.
I'm also not sure
I can do that to my father.
I've been in your situation.
My dad was
extremely toxic.
He would disappear,
miss my birthdays,
reappear, get arrested.
- It was awful.
- It sounds like it.
And then, I had the chance
to turn him in, too.
And I took it.
And then he got killed.
Truth is,
I should have cut him off
way before that.
The only thing
I regret was giving him
so many chances that I never got
to say a real goodbye.
So you think
I should turn him in?
I think whatever you choose,
you should be prepared
for consequences.
Can I just give you this to hold
onto while I think about it?
It'll just
make me feel better.
Of course you can.
Hello there, Michael.
Perfect timing.
I could use a man
of your size and stature.
Oh, no, we're not
doing that again.
No, we're not.
It's for work.
Get your mind out
of the gutter.
Something wrong,
sweetheart?
Yeah. I heard you're
helping Blake's campaign.
You set a meeting for him
with church leaders?
I did indeed.
I'm full
of surprises.
It's not called
"Dom-Mystique" for nothing.
Yeah, well, supporting Blake
would be a "Dom mistake."Yeah.
We're supporting
Cavendish's campaign
in the hopes that
he'll clear the way
for launches off the Georgia
coast if I endorse him.
So I need you to step away
from Blake's campaign.
I don't think I can do that.
Is this a plan to take down
Blake from the inside?
Because that's something
I could see you doing.
No, it's not.
But thank you.
So you're just
letting yourself be used?
I'm the one using him.
If I help Blake win, I've got
the power to effect real change.
How can you even say that?
You know the kind of man
Blake is. We all do.
Exactly. We know him
and his secrets.
Which means he'll listen
when we talk.
Okay, even if that were true,
there's no way
Blake would ever help me.
Don't be so sure.
Just let me figure something out
before you endorse Cavendish.
If I can't work a better offer,
I'll step away from Blake.
You're my priority.
Fine. I'll trust you.
Really digging
this jacket.
Can I wear it out?
Take that thing off
right now.
Not the first time I've said
that to you, is it, Michael?
Yeah. Okay, no.
I'll begin with some advice.
Oh, great. More life lessons
from the crypt.
Uh, if and when you decide
to become a parent,
please don't use me
as your role model.
Right now,
you're somewhere with Oliver.
I don't even know
if you're safe.
And once again, I've evicted you
from the manor,
just like I did
when you were 12.
I've no idea why I allowed this
to happen. I just did.
If you're watching this, it
means that I didn't get a chance
to tell you this in person,
so now you know.
I'm really
well, truly sorry, Kirby.
Oh.
I love you so much.
God, man,
pull yourself together.
Oh, blubbering wreck.
Well, you're not the only one.
Before I say goodbye, there is
one more thing I need you to do.
First, you need to make sure
that everyone
in the manor is asleep.
Now pay attention.
Why didn't you tell
me you were, like,
Free Solo good
at climbing?
Uh, do you and Fallon
come here a lot?
She doesn't climb anything
but the corporate ladder.
No time for much
of anything but work.
I'm sorry.
I don't know why I said that.
She's your boss.
Boundaries.
I'm supposed to act like it's
news to me that she works a lot?
You can tell me
what's on your mind.
It'll stay here.
Like, I know you were upset
about lunch yesterday.
Well, that wasn't exactly
an isolated incident.
I won't say I haven't noticed
the same thing.
I'm waiting
for Fallon to notice.
Just not sure
when that's gonna happen.
I had a workaholic ex
who was the same way.
Did that ever change?
I did say "ex," didn't I?
I can't let it get to that.
I should be
the bigger person
and tell her
what's bothering me.
It's so nice
how quick you are to forgive.
Now I get why
Fallon gives me free rein
to schedule things
over your date nights.
Oh, I-I'm sorry.
Now I'm forgetting
- boundaries.
- Hey,
it'll stay right here.
Look, there will never be
enough hours in Fallon's day.
I just think you're the
first thing that she gives up
because, well, I guess she can
always count on you to forgive.
I'm just telling you
as a friend would.
I hope you're not mad.
No, not at all.
It's good to know.
It's very helpful.
Hi, Papa.
I know
the police are after you,
and I've been thinking
about helping them,
so you can't ever
control me or Beto again.
This may be more
than you deserve,
but I could never betray you.
But I won't put up with this
anymore, either.
I can't have this negativity
in my life.
No matter how much I love you.
So this is goodbye, Papa.
Forever.
Come in.
It smells good in here.
And strong.
Incense. Blake says
I can only light it
if I shut the vents in the room,
and after ten minutes,
it kind of turns
into a hippie hotbox.
So, I overheard you and Cristal
talking earlier.
Uh-oh. Is this a confrontation?
The opposite, actually.
I think Cristal's really lucky
to have you.
You can relate
to where she comes from.
Okay, you can keep going.
It was good advice.
I think
I was asking too much of her.
I'm not sure I've
really earned that.
What are you gonna do?
I don't know.
I'm a little scared.
Well, I'm-I'm sure
you could stay here.
And whatever you decide,
Cristal will help.
Thank you, Sam.
You're a good man.
So, just curious. Um
how much exactly did you hear
from that conversation?
Oh, you mean the part
where you said
I'm mysterious and handsome?
And 73 feet away.
Oh.
How do I look
from this distance?
- Closer.
- Oh.
And even better.
Is this a bad idea?
Probably.
No strings
attached, right?
Nope.
I don't even own a string.
You know, thanks again
for inviting me tonight.
That was
my first football game.
Well, American football.
Mine, too. Sports
aren't my thing.
I was always
picked last in P.E.
You know, um, last time
I was in America, two years ago,
I was an au pair for an
oncologist in Santa Barbara,
and I just didn't get
- to do that many American things.
- Mm.
Terrance, is it
happening again?
Brace yourselves for a long one.
Are they protesting us?
Is this about Blake's campaign?
Maybe. Though it looks
like an even blend
of protestors
and paparazzi.
Is that normal?
- I'm afraid so.
If it's not
Blake's campaign,
they always find
a reason to surround us.
- Mm.
- You okay?
Well, um, not really.
I just
I can get
somewhat claustrophobic.
Um, is there any way
we can get the car moving?
No, no, no, no. No.
Not unless we want two dozen
vehicular assault charges
on our hands.
No, we're gonna ride this out.
Just don't roll down the window.
They usually tire out
in about an hour or so.
An hour?!
It's gonna be fine.
It's gonna be great.
Listen, if you're gonna move
to Atlanta permanently,
you got to get used to this.
You're fresh blood
to these people.
Welcome to Atlanta.
Your knight
in shining armor has arrived.
I'll be the judge
of how shiny you are.
Tomorrow is Amanda's
Carrington coronation,
and I need to know
if I should stop it, so tell me
you found something
- good about her firing.
- I have indeed.
A restraining order
was taken out against Amanda
by someone
with the last name "Whitley."
The parties agreed
to a protective order,
but it's sealed.
So clearly,
she was fired for stalking.
Mm, it appears so.
Here I thought you were
the scariest Carrington.
Oh, I still am,
and she's about to find out.
So, I guess
this is where you tell me
the demeaning favor
I need to do for you in return?
Do you really think
so little of me?
Uh, don't answer that.
As a matter of fact,
no favor need be returned.
I helped because I wanted to.
What's the catch?
No. I can't have this woman
take my favorite
sparring partner away from me.
Besides, it was nice
to play on your side for once.
We should do it again.
Well, after all, I am
your second largest shareholder.
Yeah, you do have a point.
Well, uh, I should be going.
Good luck.
We'll be in touch.
- Where the hell is he?
Beto?
He went to get some food,
after being hungry.
How long ago was that?
About half an hour. Wow.
He must have gotten lost.
Am I in trouble?
- I can't believe he'd do this.
- No, no, no, no, no.
It didn't mean anything for
either of us. It was just sex.
- What are you talking about?
- Um
Oh, okay.
We can discuss that later.
My cousin called.
My father's been arrested.
You turned him in?
How? I-I have the evidence.
Do you?
Or did Beto take it?
He must have taken it
when I was in the shower.
I can't believe it.
I got played by Beto?
We both did.
My father's been arrested
and probably thinks
I turned on him.
Do you really drink this?
Herbal tea will do you far more
favors than a glass of Scotch.
Yeah, today was interesting.
Little bit of an eye opener,
little bit of an ambush.
You needed
to have your eyes opened.
Maybe next time
you go to a Black church,
or ask for help,
you'll be more prepared.
I get it. I didn't know
what I didn't know.
But you can help me, right?
I'm not here to help you,
or to tell you the answers.
You need to try to
figure out things for yourself.
Okay. So when can we expect
to hear something
from Reverend Watson?
Oh, I've already heard from him.
He's endorsing Cavendish
instead.
Seriously? Okay.
What am I supposed to do now?
I have some other ideas.
Don't worry.
Knock, knock.
Felt like a martini night.
And it looks like
you've already started.
Well, I'll just, um,
leave this here.
Are you okay?
- I'm just processing everything.
- Got it.
I'll leave you alone.
Nope. No, I can't.
I feel terrible.
It's not your fault, Sam.
I don't want to be responsible
for your father hating you.
You're not.
He doesn't.
What are you talking about?
I just heard
from Silvio's lawyer.
The voice mail I left must have
had an impact on my father
because he legally left me
the family business
to run while he's in jail.
So, you're in charge
of the Flores Empire now?
Well, maybe
you should be thanking me.
Sorry. Too soon.
I am so sorry you had
to go through that.
Um, it's just part
of Carrington life.
Oh, lovely.
Um, you know, I could use a tea
to settle my nerves a bit.
There's the little stalker.
It's over, Amanda.
You're out of here.
You can stand down, Adam.
I've got
everything I need.
Stand down?
Do you want to talk
about Judge Whitley?
Please, Fallon.
I'd rather not.
Or I could tell Blake.
I mean, he should know before
he introduces you to the world.
Or he should at least know
that a judge filed
a restraining order
against you that got you fired.
Judge Whitley and I were
in a romantic relationship.
And I'm guessing
- he was married?
- Mm.
She was, yes.
We met when I
was an intern
two summers ago.
When I started
at Buckley Chance,
she ruled on several
high-profile cases
that I was on.
So, when the affair threatened
to leak,
the conflict of interest
could have been a disaster.
And that's when you decided
to put her pet bunny
in boiling water?
Judge Whitley-- Florence--
she called off the affair
and said I was a stalker
to protect the cases that we had
worked on and her career.
So everything
was kept confidential,
and I had to leave my job.
It's the end.
Well, don't you think
that's something
you should have mentioned?
Oh, tell the most painful
experience of my life
to the family I just met?
Sure, yeah, I could have.
Right after you tell me
what's going on with Liam.
You know, I feel sorry
for you, Fallon.
When my life unraveled,
I dealt with it head-on
before I lost everything.
You're pretending
like the problem doesn't exist.
So good luck with that.
And I don't even know
what to say about you, weirdo.
I think that pretty
much says it all.
You know, um,
I had everything under control.
She was gonna
move back to London.
Everything was all good,
and then you came in
and messed everything up.
You have no idea.
Now that
you've procured the box,
these two items should
provide you with stability.
The-the first
in the envelope is a statement
transferring my life savings
to you.
As you know, my, uh,
expenditures in life were small,
so it's quite a sizable sum.
Not Carrington wealth, but
enough to keep you comfortable.
The other is a manuscript of
sorts, except it's not fiction.
It is, in fact,
the Carrington family secrets
that I swore
to take to my grave.
But I'm handing them on to you.
Insurance and protection
with which you may do
whatever you choose.
But I hope that
these two bequests will help you
accomplish whatever it is
you want from life.
Good luck, Kirby.
I love you.
Holy
I know there's something
happening between us.
And I can admit
that I have been less
than present lately.
That's a start.
But it's not related to you.
Okay, if I could be
in two places at once,
we'd have no problems.
We just need another Fallon.
I'm not sure
the world's ready for that.
No, probably not.
But I am sorry,
and I hope you can forgive me.
That's it?
What's it?
I am so tired of
having to forgive you
without any change or
growth on your part.
You just keep repeating
the same pattern.
Yes, I'm sorry
I skipped lunch yesterday,
but Amanda seemed
like a threat.
She seemed?
I told you, Liam,
I am the head of this family,
and it is my responsibility
to look into these things.
Today it was Amanda.
But before that,
it was a hostile takeover.
And then it was Dom
and your shopping network.
There is always
something that is
more urgent than me.
And when it's not, you choose
to make it more urgent than me.
It is humiliating.
Whoa. Hold on.
Where is this coming from?
Why are you so angry?
It's been here, Fallon.
I guess this is just the first
time you're actually noticing.
Okay.
Well, since we're sharing,
ever since
you and I got married,
I feel
like you have wanted me
to choose between work and you.
- Oh, my God.
- And I just didn't realize
that you had such
an antiquated view
on a woman's role.
Is that what you think this is?
Our life will return to normal.
It will.
It's just
that I have had a lot going on
with the business,
with my family.
So I'm sorry if I haven't
always been there, okay?
I had to do
what I had to do.
I don't need to hear excuses
about the past, Fallon.
Show me how things will be
different in the future.
I will,
but right now, I am just
asking you to be patient.
Okay.
But I think I'll go be patient
in the guest room tonight.
When are these people you claim
are gonna help me getting here?
Right about now.
Oh. Yeah, Dominique,
if you're talking
about these two yahoos
Gentlemen,
I was just leaving.
Perfect.
We can skip the awkwardness.
Enough.
Sit down.
I didn't approve of this.
It's a bad idea.
Oh, finally, we
agree on something.
I'm calling
Cavendish's office.
You are not. Blake,
Jeff and Michael are prominent
in the Black community,
and you need some help to make
up for what you've already lost.
Right. And
and we're helping him, why?
We've already
been over this.
I've even had
terms drawn up.
Blake,
you will get public appearances
from Jeff and Michael.
In return,
they will get what they want
in the form
of promises
to be fulfilled
upon your election.
I'm behind in the polls.
What happens to these promises
if I don't win?
I have no doubt you'll make sure
that doesn't happen.
I can live with this.
I don't like it.
They're getting the better end
of the deal here.
That's because you
can't win without them.
Can I have the room for a minute
to speak with my sister?
- Okay.
- Not a problem.
Assuming the worst
in new additions
is kind of
a Carrington family tradition.
Is that an apology?
Because it's just not
a very good one.
Well, they're not really
my specialty.
Another Carrington trait.
Just ask my husband.
So you're admitting that
things aren't perfect then?
- Far from it.
- Wow.
You're human after all.
Let's not get carried away.
But I was thinking
we could start over
and try this whole
sister thing for real?
I'm open to that. Somewhat.
Cool.
Okay.
I'll go find Blake.
Otherwise, this will
- only get more weird.
- Okay.
Oh. Have you come
to apologize
to me, too?
For what?
I've done nothing wrong,
and I don't trust you.
You know, Alexis was right.
You really do bring the drama.
I do? You're the one who claimed
to be an au pair
for an oncologist
the same summer as you were
an intern that fell in love.
I mean, if you're gonna lie,
just do a better job of it.
Fine.
I said one white lie
to try and impress you.
You know, from what I've heard,
your lies aren't quite
as harmless.
So I'm not really worried
about your judgment.
Do you think you can supplant me
in this family?
It's never gonna happen.
Eventually, everyone will see
who you really are.
Exactly. Your sister,
who's about to go
on live national television
with our father.
I'm curious.
Did he proudly announce you
to the world like this?
Oh.
I didn't think so.
Cristal?!
Excuse me.
Cristal? Where the hell
is my sister?
Hey, quiet down.
Blake's doing an interview.
What are you doing here?
Did Dad really
leave you the company?
Yes, but I knew it.
You always figure out a way
to keep everything.
So this was never
about making us safe, was it?
You were justusing me
to put Dad in jail
so that you could
get the reins of the business.
Don't make me out
to be the bad guy here.
You made yourself
the bad guy.
Our father is in jail
because of you.
What the hell's going on
out here?
Do I need to call security?
Stay out of this, Blake.
You're not needed.
This is my house.
I'll decide where I'm needed.
You betrayed my trust, Beto.
I want you to leave. Now!
You've chosen loyalty
to the wrong family, Cristal.
Don't worry.
I'm gonna leave, but this--
this isn't over.
I'm gonna come back,
and I will get what's mine.
