Dynasty

Like it or not,

we live in an age of dynasties.

Who else can you trust to run the family business

except family?

I'm a Carrington.

And our business is literally power.

If you drove a car today,

charged your cell phone,

or made breakfast, chances are.

Carrington Atlantic had something to do with it.

For generations, this has been our dynasty.

And today, my father gives it to me.

Finally.

I know what you're thinking.

I'm young.

I haven't earned words like "finally."

But don't underestimate me.

Like these mansplainers in Denver did.

It's complicated, but, basically, this company,

Windbriar, overexpanded.

We're talking nearly a billion in assets.

This is why I deserve that promotion.

Every day, I take one man's dirt

and turn it into diamonds.

And digging up insider info is even easier

when they assume you work for the airline.

Way to scare away the stewardess.

Instead of owning the plane.

Look into what Windbriar wants for an opening bid,

not just the operation, the land.

Also, find out who employs the D-bags who leaked it.

They should learn my name before they're fired.

I know a lot about being overlooked.

Our father wanted my brother Steven

to follow in his footsteps.

And I wasn't the most obvious candidate at first.

But as it turned out, Steven had his own path to take.

A rocky trail to the middle of nowhere. (Phone ringing)

As far as he could get from my father.

He started it. Dad would beg to differ.

He was literally planning to frack a native burial ground.

Okay? That sounds like a joke.

Okay, well, there was nothing funny about the $600 million

your protest cost him.

Face it, you'll never see eye to eye on this,

but there's something you'll always be able to agree on,

and that is your love for me.

Come home.

If you haven't figured it out already,

my father's kind of old-school.

He made his fortune doing deals with old white guys

at private clubs.

And he refuses to accept the world around him

is changing.

Ms. Flores, you were a voice of dissent?

Ryan said you had thoughts about

about his investor video. The presentation should talk about

how we're training the engineers of the future

by sponsoring STEM classes in public schools.

Or developing worker safety programs...

Now, this is the part when I say,

"Then let's talk about that."

And then you try to embarrass me

in front of the entire room because we don't even

have those programs.

What you're really trying to say, Ms. Flores, is

that it's not just this video that's out of touch,

it's me.

Not you, the company.

Same thing.

As for the idea

that the future is female?

Well, Daddy likes to say, "The future's not here yet."

But he's wrong about that.

Welcome home.

How was Denver?

I missed the heat.

Trust me,

it wasn't as hot without you here.

Straight to the manor?

I'm open to a detour.

Ms. Flores?

Mr. Carrington asked to see you.

Can't say I'm surprised.

But he already left.

He wants you to meet him at his home office.

Do you think he heard about those accounts

I poached in Dallas?

Or that Exxon Mobil tried to poach me?

I mean, he must know I'm invaluable.

Can we stop talking about your father for a minute?

Kind of makes it hard to concentrate.

I'm sorry.

It's just...

I've spent five years preparing for this.

What if he doesn't give you this job, Fallon?

He always disappoints you.

You know what's disappointing?

All this talking.

Ms. Flores.

Come in.

He's waiting in the study.

Alice said you wanted to see me?

If you're hoping to hear how Ryan and I worked it out,

we didn't.

Why would you? I fired him.

Because of me?

Because we need new ideas.

I assume you have project proposals

for the STEM thing?

The worker safety program?

I may have something drafted on my laptop.

Two steps ahead.

Always.

Have it on my desk first thing Monday.

Is that all?

Not quite. (Door opens)

Oh, Bo! (Gasps)

Oh, I'm home. I'm home. (chuckles)

And so are you.

I can't believe that old Cessna actually made it over the ocean.

I can't believe you just spent the median household income

on jet fuel.

Fresh-baked cookies are worth it.

When the revolution happens, it'll be your head

they come for first.

Oh, I'll be sure to get my hair done.

Sooner the better.

How did I beat you back here?

Um... I took the scenic route.

Thank you for coming home for me.

Actually, Dad called me after you did.

I know.

Maybe he's dying. (Chuckles)

Fallon, Steven?

I didn't know your father was expecting you two.

Especially you.

I come for the hospitality.

Dad asked us.

He said you never responded.

This is our response. Where is he?

In a meeting.

Wait.

Hey, guess who's... oh, my God!

What the hell are you doing here?

Who the hell are you doing here?

I think she works for the company.

Whoa, these are your...

Hi, Daddy... Your children.

And you are? Looking for a promotion.

Fallon.

This obviously isn't how

I intended for you all to meet, but...

Why would we be meeting at all?

Fallon, Steven, this is Cristal.

My fiancée.

So this is a nice surprise.

I'm usually the one that makes things awkward around here.

Well, I'm happy to relieve you of that burden. Why didn't you call me back?

If I had any idea you were coming, I...

I'm not sure why you're so surprised.

You asked us to come back...

When was the last time you did anything I asked you to?

Oh, Dad.

Stop acting as if you don't bang

all of your girlfriends in front of us.

I've heard so much about you two.

And we've heard nothing about you.

Well, that's why I called.

I want you to get to know Cristal

before the engagement party this Sunday.

So you've told other people?

Other people called me back.

It happened so fast.

Cristal's been an associate in PR

for four years now.

But she's only

recently caught my attention.

She hasn't let go.

At least now we know what happened

to Kim Kardashian's stolen ring.

Fallon. STEVEN: Yeah.

That's ridiculous, they arrested those guys.

You,

not helping. You're right, Daddy.

There's no point in getting upset.

It's only an engagement.

Anything can happen.

I'm sorry.

Let me go talk to her.

Forgive my sister.

She thought she was getting a promotion,

not a stepmother.

And what did you think?

That I was getting an apology.

I'm not sure which of us was more wrong.

He really didn't mention we were dating?

He stopped bragging about his girlfriends

once he realized it wouldn't make me any straighter.

Whose idea was it to call me?
