Get an ambulance, quick!

Damn! Damn!

BLAKE: We need a doctor! There
must be one in the building somewhere.

See if you can find one.

Come on, fellows.
Not now! Not now!

- Get out of here!
- Stand back, please. Please!

[ALEXIS GROANS]

Alexis?

Blake.

Bla...

Alexis.

Don't die.

Oh, dear God, don't let her
die. Do you know who did this?

Bingo!

Officer, get him out of here!

WOMAN [OVER PA]:
Dr. Brisdale, report to Dr. Parr...

Blake.

That b*llet must have
been meant for you.

You know, darling,
Jeff could be right.

We can't be sure of that.

Right now, the only one
who matters is Alexis.

She's gonna be all right.

But why did it happen?

The world is full of crazies
and God knows what.

Mr. Rowan.

- How is she, doctor?
- Very lucky.

The b*llet only
grazed her skull.

When can we see her?

They're moving her
to a room right now.

I'd like to keep her
here a day or two.

But I'd like to hold all
visitors until tomorrow.

Except for Mr. Rowan.

You can see her
in a few minutes.

I'm gonna go talk to the
police. See what they know.

Isn't this how we first met?
My bringing you to the hospital?

[SIGHS]

Sean.

- Sean.
- Alexis, you'll be all right.

You'll be as good as
new in a couple of days.

What about the police?

They find any suspects yet?

My first concern is you.

I'll be talking to them later.

God.

What is wrong with the world?

This campaign has
almost cost me my life.

Alexis, please. Just because
some emotionally disturbed person...

Oh, Sean.

Next time, maybe it won't be
an emotionally disturbed person.

Next time, maybe
they won't miss.

That's why I've decided
to withdraw from the race.

I'm gonna go back to running
Colbyco. That's where I belong.

- Colbyco?
- Yes.

I should never have left it.

Never.

Never.

I don't care what time it is in
Africa, you find Harry Thresher.

You tell him to call Sean Rowan
in Denver, The Carlton Hotel.

Tell him it's
urgent. Very urgent.

Sean, this isn't right.

Don't go getting a
conscience on me.

I think you should think
about what you're doing.

I don't really think...

I think maybe you should
just think about this a little bit.

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

She'll survive.

- But I need you, Leslie.
- Ugh.

I need you tonight.

- Please, I feel uncomfortable.
- No. Don't... No.

Don't fight me. Don't fight me.

Oh, can't you just
stop for me, please?

- You want this as much as I do.
- Oh...

[PHONE RINGING]

Stay here.

[SIGHS THEN DOOR CLOSES]

Yeah.

Yeah, Harry.

You're damn right it's
urgent. Now, pay attention.

I want the stuff
loaded right away.

Don't ask questions.

Just move and move fast.

Things are happening. We
have to change our plans.

Now, I am flying to
Natumbe tomorrow.

Oversee the operation myself.

You drag your feet on this one, Harry,
baby, it'll be the last thing you ever do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm still here, Harry.

Just get on with it.

Change of plans?

Why Natumbe?

Hello, Blake.

Alexis.

They said that you weren't gonna
be allowed any visitors until tomorrow,

but I wanted to see for
myself how you were.

Are you all right?

Nurse, would you mind
leaving us for a minute, please?

Blake, I'm really frightened.

Doesn't it scare you?
Being that open a target?

Well, that b*llet could have hit
you if I hadn't stood in front of you.

Yes. You saved my live.

And you're right too.

It is unnerving standing out
there, easy prey for any lunatic.

That's why I've
decided not to run at all.

What did you say?

Look, I wanted to do
something for this state.

And what I get in return?
A b*llet through my head.

Well, whoever fired that
b*llet, his target just bowed out.

Are you serious?

Yes. I'm very serious.

I don't intend to
be shot at twice.

Well, I don't know what to say.

Well, why don't you
just say thank you?

With me out of the running,

it's gonna leave you
clear sailing with Rayford.

You're sure about this?

Oh, I'm very sure.

Colbyco is where
I belong, Blake.

But if you do get into
the Governor's Mansion,

I want you to make sure

that I get at least one
state dinner in my honor.

I think I can arrange that.

Well, it's good
that you're all right.

Why don't you get some rest?

Bye, Blake.

Alexis quitting. I
still can't believe it.

No, no. I think she means it.

Once you've come
that close to death...

Blake, what if that
b*llet was meant for you?

- Mustn't start jumping to conclusions.
- How do we know it wasn't?

Maybe you should
pull out of the race too?

- Listen...
- I don't wanna to lose you.

You're not going to.

You're never
gonna get rid of me.

I'm gonna be around
a long, long time.

Blake, I'm scared.
I'm really scared.

I know you are.

But once something like this
happens, security gets much tighter.

Besides, when I agreed to run,

we knew it was gonna
be difficult, didn't we?

Of course, not
this difficult, but...

Come on, now.

Everything is
going to be all right.

Believe me.

I'll probably be able
to go to sleep now.

Mrs. Rowan?

- Yes?
- Sorry to disturb you so late,

but there's a man here
who says he must talk to you.

What man?

It's important, Mrs. Rowan.

Gordon Wales.

Is it all right?

Yes. This better be important.

Would you mind leaving us?

I just thought you'd
wanna have these notes.

You were obviously planning
to withdraw from the race.

Where did you get these?

In the confusion after the sh**ting,
I, uh, found them just off the stage.

Deny it if you want, I think
you were pulling out of the race

because of the article
I was planning on you

and your, uh, deathbed
marriage to Cecil Colby.

[CHUCKLES]

Don't flatter
yourself, Mr. Wales.

I really don't care about what you
or your nasty little magazine think.

Whatever. Look, I came up
here to set the record straight

and, uh, maybe
do you a big favor.

What sort of a favor?

First of all, I want you to know
that I'm not doing the article.

The truth is, regarding Colby's death,
I have nothing but rumors to go on.

Lies, you mean.

It doesn't really matter.

Digging up dirt on candidates
may be hot right now,

but, uh, with all
the reaction tonight,

I'd be tarred and feathered
if I tried to take you on.

What reaction?

They haven't told you?

The phones have been
ringing off the hook.

You're a heroine.

The sympathy and
concern is pouring in.

You know, I didn't think
much of your chances before,

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

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

[CHUCKLES]

Why are you
telling me all of this?

I'm no fool.

You'd have figured
this out soon enough.

But this way, I get on your
good side, you stay in the race,

and I've got a direct
pipeline to a sure winner.

Speedy recovery.

I just don't understand why you have
to go rushing off to Natumbe again.

There's so many things
that we have to discuss.

Darling, this oil
deal is important.

Until you come back to the
company, I'm handling things.

Now, I need to be there.

Well, I thought you'd
be interested to know

- that I've changed my...
- The doctor said you'll be fine.

And I'll be back
before you know it.

Now, I've got to go,
or I'll miss my plane.

- Goodbye.
- I love you.

All right.

Hello, Mother.

Fallon. Ha, ha.

Hello, Mother. You're
looking much better.

Oh, thank you, Steven.

Adam will be along in a while.

It's so good to see both of you.

Flowers from all
over the country.

And you should see
the overflow outside.

Yes.

Perhaps you'd make sure that they
find their way to the children's ward.

Perhaps it might
brighten their day.

Well, these should
brighten your day.

Pay particular attention
to the one on top.

Hmm.

From the White House. Heh.

Such a fuss over a flesh wound.

Mother, you could
have been k*lled.

MAN: Mrs. Rowan.

- Hold it, please.
- Who are you?

Come on. Would
you get out of here?

Like it or not, you're
front-page news.

Well, I don't like it right now.

We're gonna let
you get some rest.

- All right?
- All right, darling.

- Feel better.
- Mm, I will. Thanks for coming.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Fallon.

Don't forget to send
flowers to the children's ward.

- I won't.
- Bye.

- Oh, I'm sorry, I was just...
- Mother?

Oh, yes. Russ, come on in.

[MOUTHS] Bye.

Excuse me.

Did my photographer
get his picture?

Your photographer?

Russ, I don't appreciate
being exploited like this.

Now, wait just a minute, Alexis.

Did I misunderstand you when
we met earlier this morning?

Didn't you agree that
we should maximize

this rush of sympathy and
interest in your campaign?

- Yes, but I...
- Now, look.

I only know one way to work.

The media has a
five-minute attention span

and we've gotta make
every minute count.

Now, to the public, you took a b*llet
meant for an opposing candidate.

Now, that makes you a heroine.

- But I think that they're...
- Don't.

You pay me to do the thinking.

Now, listen to me.

You have a chance to be much more
than just a spoiler in this election now.

My dear lady, you could win it.

Is it just my imagination or did we
buy out every baby store in Denver?

Well, Adam did say
to spare no expense.

This is gonna be the
best-dressed baby in Colorado.

[DANA CHUCKLES THEN PHONE RINGS]

- Relax. I'll make coffee in a second.
- Okay.

Oh, Sammy Jo, thanks
so much for going with us.

I wouldn't have known
half of the things we need.

Thanks for the invitation. And
you'll be an expert in no time.

I can't talk right now.

Karen, is something wrong?

Uh, no. No, uh...

Just someone I'd
rather not talk to.

But you're shaking. What
did they say to upset you?

Nothing. Really. I... I'm
just tired. I'd like to lie down.

- Well, I...
- Maybe we should go.

You're sure you're okay?

I'll call you later.

[DOOR CLOSES]

We did get some beautiful
things for your baby.

You're still
worried, aren't you?

Well, whoever was on the
phone really upset Karen.

I know, one minute she
was happy, and then...

Do you think it could have been a
newspaper reporter? Or a lawyer?

What are you talking about?

Adam's been concerned.
Some surrogate mothers

are changing their minds
about giving up their babies.

They're going to court.

It's in this morning's paper.

I don't think Karen's
that type of person.

This baby is so
important to Adam.

And to me. I just don't
want anything to go wrong.

Karen.

I tried the front
door, but no answer.

I thought you might be out here.

I told you on the phone I
didn't wanna see you, Jesse.

I got these dolls
here for the girls.

They in school?

Yes, and I don't want you
here when they get home.

They're my kids too, you know.

Now, this one, on
the other hand...

Not that I owe
you an explanation,

but I'm involved in a
surrogate mother program.

Yeah. I've heard
about those programs.

Why are you doing it?

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

Didn't even know you
were back in the country.

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

How much are they paying you?

None of your business.

Whatever jam you're in, I'm
not bailing you out. Not this time.

I didn't come back here
to hit you up for money.

Then why did you come back?

I came back because I've
missed you and the kids.

And because I
got tired of chasing

whatever it was I
thought I was going for.

I'm sorry, Jesse.
I've heard it all before.

Ever since high school.

There's a difference
this time, Karen.

This time I mean it.

You're right. There
is a difference.

This time we're divorced and
I don't have to listen anymore.

Yeah, well, that's
another thing.

See, we're not divorced.

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

You're lying.

No. We're still married.

And I still love you, Karen.

[ALL CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

MAN: You look good, Mrs. Rowan.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Ladies and gentlemen, can I
have your attention, please?

Thank you.

Mrs. Rowan.

I want to thank all of you for
being here on such short notice.

And I promise you that I won't
take up too much of your time.

How are you feeling, Mrs. Rowan?

Oh, more angry than
injured. This was just a graze.

But I'm very, uh, touched by
the outpouring of love and support

that I've received from
people all over the country.

Tell us, what was
your first thought,

when you realized
what had happened?

Yes. It was for the
people of Colorado.

And for the people
all over America.

It was a sadness for the
v*olence that infests our society.

Why has she called
a press conference?

To officially announce her
withdrawal, I would imagine.

- Blake, she's on.
- Ah.

I've given it much
thought and consideration.


Some of my advisors have
urged me to withdraw from the race


because they are
thinking about my safety.


And I appreciate that.

But I'm thinking about the
people of this great state


who have shown me
by their love and support


that they deserve a leader
who has strength in government.


- I don't believe it.
- Blake?

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


That is, if the people of
Colorado still want me.


She lied to you. She
never intended to withdraw.

Is it too late to use the
information we have on her?

Well, you can forget it now.

Alexis has so much
sympathy going for her,

any attack on her character
would only backfire.

BLAKE: Well, let's
look at it this way,

if that b*llet was meant for
me then she saved my life.

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

A fight that I intend to win.

Yes, Mr. Bingham. I do
understand it's serious.

I know a decision needs to be
made. I just need a little more time.

Okay. I'll come in
tomorrow. Thank you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

The boys are still out riding.

Yeah. I'm a little early.

Is something wrong?
Is it Steven, or...?

No. No, this time it's me.

That was the bank
politely reminding me

that you can't borrow
against your assets forever.

- Have some coffee?
- No, thanks.

Are you in some kind
of financial trouble?

I took a calculated risk.

I borrowed against
the horses I did have,

to buy more I
thought I should have.

- And the market went soft.
- Yep.

And now the same
banker who made the loan

is advising me to sell off a big
chunk of Delta Rho to meet the loan.

Forget it.

I wish I could. And I
really tried to pull it off.

I wanted everyone to see
that I could make it on my own.

Hey, Sammy Jo, even the biggest
corporations have financial trouble.

Jeff, I can't sell this place.
I can't. It was my father's.

Then don't.

How about some fresh
capital to save the day?

Capital from a partner.

- A partner?
- Yeah, someone close to you.

Someone you can trust.

You can't be serious.

Why not?

Heh, well, you don't know
anything about this business.

Well, I do know the
free market system,

and you don't wanna
back away now.

Corner the market.
Wait for a turnaround.

Besides, I see a big
return on my investment.

What do you say, partner?

Partners?

Her banker's name is Bingham.
After you get in touch with him,

have some preliminary
papers drawn up,

and then I'll take
a look at them.

Good. Well, my
schedule is a little tight,

but I think I could be in Los
Angeles in a couple of days. Ha, ha.

It'll be good to see
you again too. Bye-bye.

- Dex.
- Hello, Jeff.

- Glad you could make it.
- Got off the plane from Natumbe.

I heard about the sh**ting.
That why you wanted to see me?

No, no, the, uh,
police are investigating.

Excuse me.

I wanted to talk to
you about the pipeline.

Jeff, you've got the wrong
guy. I quit that project.

Well, that's why I called.

You know that Colby Enterprises
has a lot invested in that pipeline.

I don't envy you. Not with
Steven Carrington calling the sh*ts.

I know Steven can
be unreasonable, but...

Unreasonable? Jeff, that's maybe
the understatement of the year.

He became a real
hard-head about the deadline.

We were late. I knew that.

I had no control over
the easement problems,

but I would have
worked them out.

Not good enough for him.

Dex, I don't feel comfortable
without you on the project.

What will it take
to get you back?

Blake back at the helm
of Denver-Carrington.

Jeff, I'm sorry, there's just too
much conflict among those three kids.

I don't want to be in the
middle of it. I'm better off out of it.

I was just talking to Danny

about what he wanted
to be when he grows up.

He said three things:

a computer analyst, a
lawyer, and a rodeo champion.

Can you believe this kid?

I think we have a very
ambitious tyke on our hands.

Sammy Jo?

Oh, I'm sorry, Steven,
you were saying?

I was saying I just put a
little overachiever to bed.

Did you hear a word I've said?

I'm trying to get a handle
on the Delta Rho inventory.

I'll need it before the
papers are drawn up.

What papers?

I didn't get a
chance to tell you.

I, uh... I had a little
financial problem

and I'm bringing in
an investment partner.

Partner?

Who? You didn't go to a
bank or a broker, did you?

No.

I guess you're gonna
find out sooner or later.

Jeff is buying into Delta Rho.

- I don't believe it.
- It was a fair offer.

- And the bank was advising to sell off.
- Why didn't you come to me?

Because I knew you'd wanna help.

That doesn't make any sense.

Look, I know you
won't understand,

but the last thing I
wanted to do was use you...


Use me?

Well, maybe that's
the wrong word.

Look, we're no longer married

and I don't wanna be
dependent on you anymore.

I'll never find myself that way.

But you will with Jeff.

Is there more than money
changing hands between you two?

I won't dignify that
with an answer.

Please leave.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- Steven.
- Hey, Jeff. Can I come in?

Sure.

- Nice place.
- Thanks.

Can I get you something?

No, I can't stay very long.

I just wanted to come over and
try to clear the air between us.

About what?

- The pipeline.
- You came to talk about the pipeline?

I heard you met with Dex and
tried to get him to come back.

And I understand.

Colby Enterprises has a
lot riding on that project.

So does Denver-Carrington.

Is that why you harassed
Dex until he quit?

Jeff, I didn't come over
here to argue with you.

- Why did you come over here?
- To strike a deal.

What kind of deal?

A deal where everybody wins.

Mm.

I'm listening.

You want the pipeline complete.

So do I. And since we both agree

Dex is the best man for the
job, I'm willing to bring him back.

In exchange for what?

I made a promise to myself

after Matthew Blaisdel died.

I was going to stay in Denver

and see to it that my family
was protected and provided for.

Are you talking about my
investment in Delta Rho?

I want you to
back out of it, Jeff.

Tell Sammy Jo you
changed your mind.

Does Sammy Jo know
about this little deal of yours?

No. And I don't want her to.

Has it ever occurred to you that
Sammy Jo doesn't want your help?

And as far as Dex is concerned,
he's not coming back to work for you.

So you'd better find another way

of meeting your obligations
with Colby Enterprises.

And 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 messed up my sister's life,

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

[CLEARS THROAT]

Hello, Don? It's Jeff
Colby here in Denver.

I'm sorry to call you
at this time of night,

but I want you to do
something for me in the morning.

As soon as the New York
Stock Exchange opens,

I want you to buy as much
available Denver-Carrington stock

as you can get your hands on.

It's for me. But keep
my name out of it.

Grab all you can get.

Bye.

Thank you, Richard.

Blake, I have to talk to you.

I'm sorry. I'm busy
at the moment.

Too busy to return
my phone calls?

Blake, I have come
here from the hospital

because I want
to explain to you.

Explain what? Why you lied to
me about withdrawing from the race?

I didn't lie. I had every
intention of withdrawing.

But I just could not ignore
the outpouring of support

that I've had from the
people of Colorado.

Blake, you have no idea.

The messages, the phone
calls, the letters that I've had.

And they've said the same thing:

"Stay in the race,
Alexis. We need you."

Now look, you're telling me...?

Listen, Blake, the people of
Colorado are seeing me now

as a genuine
candidate for governor.

Despite what you
say the people want,

you and I know that the only
reason why you're in this race

is to destroy my campaign.

Well, it didn't work before,
it's not gonna work now.

- Blake...
- Excuse me, I have a speech to make.

[APPLAUSE]

And I believe that one of the prime
obligations for state government

is to provide decent
housing for all its citizens.

[ALL CHEERING]

And as of today, I am putting
all slum landlords on notice.

I'm telling them,
"Clean up your act,

or when I get to the state
capitol, I'll clean it up for you."

How can you help us?

Living in your big mansion,
driving your big cars.

Have you ever been poor?

Yes, I've been poor.

You know, my family has been
here in the state of Colorado

for three generations,

and not one of them
has ever had anything

more than just the
clothes on his back.

Yeah, we know
what it was to be poor,

we know what it was to
go to bed at night hungry.

And along the way, ma'am, I
learned what hard work was.

And that's just what I intend
to do for you on your behalf.

Work hard.

If you'll just give
me the chance.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Together we can make it happen.

You're right. The truth
does win elections.

Yes. And Alexis is gonna
find that out pretty soon.

You sorry you volunteered?

No. Blake is wonderful.
I want to do more.

And speaking of wonderful,

I can't thank you enough
for your investment, partner.

Well, I think I know a good
investment when I see one.

I just hope I can pick a horse.

I'll teach you everything
you need to know.

MAN: Jeff.

Excuse me.

- What if I need more than one?
- You can take as many as you like.

You know what I'd really like?

Why don't you do us both a
favor and keep it to yourself?

There you go.

JENNIFER: I'm so glad
you're all right, Mrs. Rowan.

Thank you, Jennifer.

There's a backlog of phone
calls, speech confirmations,

telegrams from well-wishers.

Oh, well, I'll have to
look at all of them later.

Would you get ahold of Leslie,
tell her that I wanna talk to her.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Rowan,
I thought you knew.

- Knew what?
- Miss Carrington left for Natumbe.

Natumbe.

Did she go with Mr. Rowan?

No, she took a different flight.

Shall I call and see
if I can reach her?

No, no. That will be
all. Thanks, Jennifer.

Yes, Danny, we'll be there just
as soon as Uncle Jeff gets back.

That's right.

I love you. Bye-bye.

I'll be with you
in a second, Jeff.

The office is closed.

Yeah, that's why I stopped by. This
can be a rough neighborhood at night.

Well, that's very nice
of you. But I'll be fine.

You don't look like
the political type to me.

And what is the political type?

Hey, hey, I didn't
mean anything by it.

You're beautiful, you
know that? Really beautiful.

- Please don't do that.
- Hey, what's the matter? Heh.

I'm not gonna hurt you
or anything. I like you.

I've never met
anybody like you before.

- Would you just leave?
- What the hell is this, the brush-off?

You're all the same.

You little rich girls, you bring it
down here, you flaunt it around.

- I saw the way you looked at me.
- Let go!

In this neighborhood, sweetheart,
it doesn't work like that. No.

In this neighborhood,
what you show, you owe.

[BOTH GRUNT]

Ooh. Rich and hot, I like that.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Jeff!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

You all right, huh?

She's okay.

Well, she's resting now.

Blake, thanks for taking
care of Danny tonight.

I didn't want him
to see her like this.

Sure.

I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye.

Jeff.

It's all right. It's all right.
Nobody's gonna hurt you.

Danny. I...

Danny's spending the
night with Blake and Krystle.

- I was so scared. I thought...
- I know, I know.

He said that I was
looking at him, teasing him.

Come on now, don't
be so hard on yourself.

You didn't do anything.

Why don't you lie down?

Close your eyes
and get some sleep.

Thank you for being there
again when I needed you.

I don't understand why
you can't find Mr. Rowan.

I know he arrived
there hours ago.

Never mind.

- Who is it? DEX: It's Dex.

- Dex, hello.
- Hi.

You up to a little
get-well visit?

Yes, of course I am. Come on in.

- For a speedy recovery.
- Ha-ha-ha.

Thank you.

My favorite perfume. You
remembered. That is so sweet.

I didn't wanna bother
you at the hospital.

- Figured it'd be a zoo.
- Yes, it was.

Thank you for your concern.

Not fun, huh?

No. Not fun at all.

God. You feel so vulnerable
when you're in the public eye, Dex.

- Just a sitting target for anyone.
- But you're gonna stay in the race.

Oh, yes. I have to. But next
time, I'm gonna have protection.

Oh, speaking of which,
where is your husband?

He had to go to
Natumbe on business.

Well, if it were me, Alexis,

they couldn't have dragged
me from that hospital room.

Well, that's very sweet of
you, Dex. But it's not you.

Yeah.

Alexis, 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.

What are you getting at?

Look, whatever else has gone
down between us, I do care about you.

I don't trust Thresher.

Does that mean that you
also don't trust my husband?

I didn't say that.

I think you should keep an
eye on what's going on there.

Yes, well, I think that you should
keep your accusations to yourself.

Alexis, I'm not
here to knife Sean.

I'm trying to help you.

Yes, well, I appreciate that.

If you really want to do that,
why don't you just leave me now

because I'm feeling rather
tired. I'd like to take a nap.

Yeah, Harry, I just got in.

Now, is everything
ready to go in Port Baddi?

Good. Good.

I'll get into some clothes
and head right out there.

No, I wanna see the
cargo loaded myself.

Now, I'll be in touch.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

What the hell are
you doing here?

Invite me in and
you'll find out.

Why did you follow me here?

Oh, maybe I missed you.

You're messing with
me and that's a mistake.

- Now what are you doing here?
- You're hurting my arm.

You are testing my patience.

Now what are you doing here?

I know what you're up to.

What are you talking about?

I don't have all the
pieces yet, but, uh...

What pieces?

I think you figured out a way

to make a personal
profit on the Vitron deal.

Over and above what's happening
at Colbyco and Denver-Carrington.

You have an
overripe imagination.

I'm right, aren't I?

Sean, all I want is
a piece of the action.

I'm tired of being a
salaried employee.

Poor relation. Two
steps above a servant.

What the hell would
you know about that?

About being a servant? Heh.

Don't worry, I have no
intention of blowing your cover.

As long as I cut
you in, is that it?

Something like that.

And, uh, I'm
willing to work for it.

You're even more
ambitious than I thought.

It's a tough world out there.

A girl's got to do
what a girl's got to do.

Don't we all.

[DOG BARKING]

What are you looking for? Hmm?

Oh. There, boy.

ALEXIS: How's that
feel? LESLIE: Ahh.

- It feels wonderful.
- Yes.

Thank you for letting me try it.

No, no, no. I want
you to keep it.

- What?
- Yes. It's a present from me.

It's a taste of your future.

[LAUGHING]

You bastard!
