The DA didn't find it funny.
He's accusing you of murder.
He's saying that you had the means and motive
to tamper with that equipment.
Are they right? Were you at that site that morning?
How can you even ask me that?
I had nothing to do with Matthew's death.
Honestly, I doubt the Last Earth Coalition did, either.
Well, I think they're just using this
to get free publicy off the Carrington name.
Yeah, my name.

I changed my name so that some of my...

Buenas días.
Seems you were unsuccessful.
That's a great tie, Anders.
Is that a different shade of black than yesterday?
That robe traditionally is worn by a female guest.
Maybe you can wear it to the gala.
CRISTAL: Anders, I've been thinking about it,
and, considering everything that's happened
with Matthew's death and with Steven's arrest,
do we really think now is the best time
to have a charity gala?
From a PR standpoint, it could be considered trivial.
I think we should postpone it.
Most idiotic idea since Daddy proposed to you.
You can't postpone the annual Carrington Foundation Gala.
It's just bad timing, that's all I'm saying.
Well, you know what else is bad?
Underprivileged kids' educations getting ruined
because you were too stressed to get yourself a blowout.
Great PR move, Crissie.
And you are such a charitable person, Fallon.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with you wanting to mingle
with your father's business contacts.
I have known those people for years.
The Carrington name is not only my father's, it is also mine.
And as much as it disgusts me, it is yours now...
which means you have responsibilities,
whether you like it or not.
You can't just wash away the name at your convenience,
like you do your heavy foundation.
ANDERS: Welcome home, sirs. Are you okay?
- May I get you anything? - BLAKE: Yeah.
How about some gratitude?
Good to have you home, big brother.
ANDERS: Just in time for the gala.
The latest Mrs. Carrington wanted to cancel,
but I'm concerned it will reflect poorly on you, sir.
BLAKE: Right. No.
If we cancel now, it would look bad.
We should proceed as planned.
That gala is one of the few things
I'm actually proud the Carrington name is attached to.
I'll be sorry to miss it.
You can't. Why would you?
Fallon, I'm being charged with murder.
I can't go to an '80s dance party.
Well, I'll be there to represent you, Steven.

And, since we were together,
I need you to go on record as my alibi.
I'm trying to avoid

We erased every trace of any connection

Well, I gave the order.
It wasn't about protecting Cristal,
or the family, was it?

It was about protecting you.
Is the pressure getting to you?
Have a scotch, do some yoga,
but leave my study.
I know you have Matthew Blaisdel's phone.
Who would give you such a crazy idea?
Doesn't matter who.
But it should have been in evidence,
which means you got it from Stansfield.
But why?
The only reason that makes any sense
is because there's something on it that incriminates you.
Son, why don't you let my lawyers take this over?
- They'll have you off in less than a week. - No.
No. I think they're gonna be too busy defending you.
How dare you question me?

And as soon as I'm exonerated,
I'm gone for good.
Thank you, Millie, but I don't think this is the one.

Mm-mm.
Everyone who is anyone in the south is going to be there.
It's good for business, plus it's a perfect venue
to remind Blake that I'm every inch a Carrington,
despite what he and his lawyers believe.
Are you sure you even want to be associated
with the Carrington name right now?
Considering my charges,
not to mention whatever mess Dad's involved in.
(laughing): What did Blake do now?
Pop one of his sleeping pills and tweet again?
What did he do?
Oh, come on, Steven.
You know no one shares your daddy issues but me.
What if the issue is murder?
Matthew?
I know Dad's a Cristal addict,
but you really think he'd go that far?
Fallon, he has Matthew's phone.
What? He stole it from him?
He had it stolen from evidence.
How do you know this? You don't know anything.
You wear a belt with jeans.
Who told you this?
Doesn't matter.
All I'm saying is there must be something on there
that makes Dad look guilty.
Something he doesn't want the rest of the world to know.
If I can find out where he's hidden it,
maybe it would leverage him and I can get my name back.
And clear mine?
Of course.
I would never let you go to jail.
You look tragic in orange.
Where do you think he would hide something like that?
Oh, please. You know how Dad thinks better than anyone.

If something had happened to you or Steven...
You're right.
I'll talk to him.
And Fallon.
You're a good father, Blake.
And a sweet man.
Really, best-case scenario for a robbery...
I'm fine, everyone's fine.
You know me, I'm happy to leave a party early.
Plus, nothing major was taken.
Oh, I was wearing my gloves all night,
so I didn't have it on! (sighs)
My engagement ring.
- Blake, they took my ring. - Well... Hey, hey.
It's okay.
Hey, it's only money.
I'll buy you a new one.
Nobody can take anything from us that really matters
because, besides my kids...
it's all right here, in my arms, right now.

♪ Oh ♪
- ♪ Tainted love... ♪ - FALLON: I cornered the Kwan brothers
as they were leaving the party, and I turned them around.
Wanted you to know.

(stops playing)
Don't stop, please.
(continues playing)
You know, your mother made you take piano.
I never saw the point in it.
It's not like you were gonna be another Van Cliburn.
I wanted you to take boxing lessons.
- (stops playing) - Now those, they...
they came in handy. (chuckles softly)
I was coming to find you earlier...
because I wanted to apologize.
I'm sorry I didn't believe you
when you said you didn't have Matthew's phone.
Well...
your source wasn't entirely inaccurate.
I lied to you.
I bent the truth and the law.
When Matthew died, I accessed my source
at the police department...
and had him borrow Matthew's phone from evidence.
Dad...
why would you do that?
Uh...
Jealousy?
Morbid curiosity about Cristal's affair?
I wanted to see what was on there.
- Can I see it? - No.
I returned it to evidence.
Well, that part was true.
But if there had been anything on there that
could have helped exonerate you,
I would not have hesitated to admit what I'd done.
I'm not proud.
But I am proud of who I am as a father.
There is nothing I wouldn't do to protect you.
The thing I admire most about you...
...how much you care about other people.
How you love.
It's always been your finest asset.
I want you to stay here.
At home, in Atlanta.
And if it's charity work that you want to do,
then do it for me.
Once my lawyers get these bogus charges dropped...
I want you to run the Carrington Foundation.
(knocking)
We alone?
What happened? Is your mom okay?
She will be.
I can't do this anymore, Sammy Jo.
I mean, life's hard enough as it is
without everything else I'm hiding.
Tomorrow I'm gonna go to Blake and I'm gonna
tell him I need the money.
Even if it means losing everything.
There's no need to go and do something stupid
like tell a man the truth.
I handled it.
You're cool. I got the money.
What'd you do?
Who do you think set up tonight's little robbery?
What?
Your ring's insured.
I invite you into my home,
and this is what you pull?
My husband got hurt.
He got in the way.
And a little cut
is nothing compared to what could have happened to my mom.
My friends will sell the stuff.
She'll have the cash in the morning.
Do you have any idea what kind of blowback this could bring?
I was handling things.
Not fast enough.
Anyway, everyone knows
you can't run away from your past.
It'll always come back and bite you in the ass.
(exhales)
Ah. Drinking so late?
It's not for me.
I do appreciate you being at the fundraiser tonight.
I know this week was tough.
I'm glad you're okay.
I was worried about you.
Fallon.
I was on the golf course.
I was three under par, I had just birdied again,
when Anders phoned me to tell me that your mother's water broke.
- So you finished the round? - Well, it was the 17th hole...
What's a few more minutes? No, of course I didn't finish the round.
It was a game.
And your being born was one of the greatest days of my life.
You know I wanted to name you Ellen, after my mother?
But Alexis said she'd read in one of those
crazy feminist books of hers that the name Fallon
meant "descended from a ruler".
Alexis being the ruler, of course.
But I knew that my brand-new baby girl
would have my name, too.
The Carrington name.
Fallon, I never considered that one day
you would be my business rival.
And a formidable one, too.
But your name is your birthright.
And I won't take that away from you.
Thank you, Daddy.
Well, it's settled, then.
Good night, sweetheart.
Not settled.
I've decided I don't want the Carrington name.
I've got Carrington blood.
That's all I need to take over the world.
(footsteps approaching)
(sighs)
I'm just cross-referencing
the missing items with our catalog.
Unfortunately,
the current Mrs. Carrington's ring is not the only thing
that was stolen.
Anders, I have... an actual headache.
Maybe your inventory can wait?
The gold cigar cutter, from your father,
the Harry Winston emerald cuff links...
those lovely ones that Alexis got you for Guy Fawkes...
and several of your lesser Rolexes.
They took the watches from my drawer?
It's missing.
What's missing, sir?
I had Matthew's phone
taken from evidence, and that man stole it.
If what's on that phone gets out,
it will ruin the Carrington name.
