Dynasty

Previously on Dynasty:

My offer says Carrington Atlantic shares are yours once we're legally married.

-Looks legal to me. -Bigamy is illegal in Georgia.

- You in the market? -For what?

Biggest payday of your life.

This is Liam, my husband. My marriage is completely legal,

which means ours isn't, and neither is my contract.

Unless we're married, my gift is void.

I'm not gonna let an expired visa keep us apart.

I'd like to report an undocumented immigrant.

- Carrington. -What the hell?

-I'm having a heart attack. -What did you do?

We need to get out of here. Go.

Wedding to the left, funeral to the right.

Wedding to the left--

Ah. Congratulations or condolences? This side. Thank you.

And that can go directly to Mr. Carrington.

I'll take it.

Funeral to this side, thank you.

I didn't hear you come to bed last night. Did you get any sleep?

No. I was on the phone with London, Sydney, Shanghai...

Carrington Atlantic's chairman of the board died 48 hours ago.

-So did your father. -Our clients need to know

-operations won't be interrupted. -I'll handle it. You need to grieve.

I'm fine.

-What do you want me to do, cry? -If that's what you need, yes.

Blake, you don't have to be a soldier now. You can talk to me. Or someone.

I don't need a therapist. I just need to talk to my pipeline manager in Dubai.

If you wanna talk about feelings, go do it somewhere else.

One hundred thousand, that's the number we agreed upon.

-And a time frame? -We didn't settle on a hard number.

-Annulment versus divorce? -Didn't get that far.

A nondisclosure agreement?

This wasn't my finest hour as a business person

or a "person" person.

I know the risks of marrying a stranger, so I hired you.

Good news is you haven't paid him yet.

We'll draw up the papers immediately and have Liam sign them today.

If only my other fake marriage was so simple.

What are you doing about Jeff? Cristal Carrington.

My stepmother.

-Jackie Littman. -My divorce lawyer. There's nothing to do.

I'll lay low for a few weeks, let the wedding coverage blow over,

-and tell a few people it didn't work out. -What about the funeral?

Yeah, I didn't plan on Grandpa tapping out at the wedding.

-People are gonna ask questions. -I don't want him answering them.

-You should say something first. -I don't wanna piss him off, either.

At least, not before Liam signs the NDA.

I doubt Jeff wants the truth out there any more than you do.

If you get ahead of the questions, offer an innocent explanation,

blame yourself even...

you'd be doing him a favor.

What do you mean? Say I got cold feet?

In light of what happened, who could blame you?

Death has a way of giving us clarity.

Maybe you realized you weren't ready for marriage.

If there's anything Grandpa wanted, it was for me to get away from Jeff.

I'll put out a statement this morning.

What?

Your mail.

-See you haven't forgotten the address. -I was wondering where these were.

Apologies for the delay. I've had more important matters

to attend to over the last few days than your shopping.

I admire your reputation for representing women.

It's not always where the money is, but especially these days,

-we have to stick together, don't we? -We do.

-I didn't mean-- -No, of course not.

But if you have any friends who do, have them give me a call?

-Of course. Thank you. -Sure.

Per Mr. Carrington's last will and testament,

his instructions for his funeral are as follows:

"He's to be dressed in a plain black suit from Harrow & Sons in London,

-and placed in a simple oak casket." -A man of the people till the very end.

"White Miltonia orchids will fill the sanctuary, and the casket

will be taken to Oakland Cemetery in a hearse

drawn by a team of Belgian black horses accompanied by a brass band."

-Spoke too soon. -Not like he's here to enjoy it.

Everyone deserves a last hurrah, don't they?

Fine. Anders, I trust you can handle the arrangements?

Not all of them, I'm afraid.

-What? -He's asked that his grandchildren

perform a song for the congregation, as he so loved in life,

and that he be buried with his copy of The Canterbury Tales.

-It's in his personal library in Savannah. -You can send somebody.

He wanted you to retrieve it.

-From Savannah? -Yes.

Absolutely not. There's too much going on.

I'm not going to that house to pick up an old book.

He specifically instructed--

I don't care what he instructed! He ordered me around his whole life.

He will not do it from beyond the grave. I don't have to listen anymore.

You know what? I'm glad.

That is no way to speak about your father.

I'm walking Liam through what we went over.

-Yeah. Just tell me where to sign. -Right. The nondisclosure here.

And the petition for annulment.

You're the best first wife I ever had.

Only until tomorrow. Once we get this to a judge and get everything finalized,

it will be as if you were never married at all.

Oh.

-Guess I should cancel the registry. -

-I had my eye on these pineapple skewers. -Wow. Now you can afford the whole set.

Yeah, or I could just buy the kebab place around the corner.

You hungry? My treat. Well... technically it's yours.

-I don't really do food on sticks. -Seriously?

What about popsicles? Chicken satay? Corn dogs?

-What the hell is that? -They're delicious.

-You know he was doing this? - We're with Jeff Colby.

-Thanks for having us. - Of course.

Earlier today, Fallon Carrington released a statement announcing you had split,

only two days after your wedding.

I thought I'd found my soul mate,

the woman of my dreams.

Fallon lied to me. We were never married in the first place.

And her statement today makes me question her grip on reality

- and her ability to run Morell Corp. -What is he doing?

Declaring war.

What did you do?

What did I do? See the statement Fallon put out this morning?

She straight up lied. And if you think I'm--

Why do you care? She didn't bring your name into it.

She didn't say you signed over Morell, or ColbyCo.

She stole them. She committed fraud and she knows it.

You didn't? You played the same game. You just can't admit you lost.

-Whose team are you on here? -Ours.

What you lost is only money, but we got our father back. -Why would you jeopardize that? -Wanna talk to me about Dad?

-You have no idea how much I protect him. -Of course, I do.

You know he pulled a gun on Thomas Carrington?

-What? -Yeah.

He gave him a heart attack, Moni.

The old guy was literally killed by his racism.

But you didn't know, because I got Dad out of there. I protected him.

All the more reason for you to be careful now.

Drop this, before you're the one who destroys our family.

-Hey. What's going on? -Besides Anders slapping my dad?

What? Why?

Let's just say they're grieving in different ways.

How about you?

I'm not sure what to be feeling.

Grandpa and I didn't exactly have the easiest relationship.

The irony is, after all that struggle, I'm the only one who got closure with him.

-You deserve it, Steven. -My dad's still so angry at him.

Maybe I should be, too. Mostly, I'd rather celebrate the silver lining.

-Is that weird? -I think it's kind of beautiful.

Thanks. What's this?

Deported? Seriously, Sam, what is this?

They know I'm here without papers. I don't know how they found out.

-Well, except... -What?

It could have been Jeff Colby. From my Morell paperwork.

Maybe he thought it would hurt Fallon somehow?

-Why didn't you say something? -Everyone has enough on their plate.

Doesn't mean you should do this alone.

We're in this together. We'll figure it out.

-Did you call a lawyer? -Yes, and it's not good.

I can't just say I forgot to renew my visa. I got fake papers.

The system's not exactly famous for gray areas, so...

Well... we just have to beat the system.

You all right?

Will you stop asking me that? I'm fine.

If anything, Anders needs to see a shrink.

I know he had an attachment to my father. I've known him since I was born.

He taught me to shave. That's why I let it slide. But I do not need an employee

or a ghost telling me what to do.

You're right.

Your father was a miserable man.

I certainly never heard a kind word from him.

As far as I'm concerned, he doesn't deserve another moment of your life.

Well, thank you.

But you can't move on

and nothing can move forward if you don't go to Savannah.

The longer you fight him, the longer you let him loom over you.

The sooner you get this over with, the sooner you can be free.

Where do you get off? Calling me a liar? After everything that you've done?

You lied. To me, to the entire Internet. I didn't invent that marriage license.

You bugged my house, puppeted my brother, proposed to me to get to my father.

I didn't start this war, you did. When are you gonna admit you lost it?

You think you've won?

You spent seven figures on a fake wedding and gave your grandfather a heart attack.

-What's Grandfather have to do with this? -You think it's a coincidence?

You ran with this charade, collateral damage be damned.

And for what, some shares?

It's all gonna be for nothing. I'm gonna take back everything you stole.

Starting with this office.

I'll leave your things outside. Shame this is all that's left of your company.

This is what you killed him for.

Wanna carry this yourself?

-Guess not. -Look me in the eye and say it again.

What? That you're the reason your grandfather is dead?

Ho, ho. Here we go. Poor little rich girl shows her true colors.

Hope you got a good look, 'cause it'll be a cold day in hell

-before you ever see them again! -What the hell?

You wanna gaslight me?

I will set the gasoline on fire.

-I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. -That's very kind. Thank you.

But a pleasant surprise to hear from you. Are you holding up?

We're all muddling through. I hope you and Paul can come to the service.

Yes, of course. Thomas was a good friend to us for many years.

-If there's anything we can do... -That's actually why I'm here.

I was hoping you could help me.

-What is it? -It's my stepmother's nephew. Sam?
