>> blake: that's right, charles.
I've been ordered by the court

To pay my brother $41.5 million
By today.

No, no, no.
That's just my share of it.

As you can imagine, I had to
Make some decisions last night.

Now, I want you to liquidate
All my holdings in avery copper.

Use whatever is left over to buy
As much denver carrington stock

As possible.
Yes.

We've got to keep the price up.
With the stocks selling

At this kind of a price,
You know that alexis

Is going to try her damnedest
To grab as much of it

As she can.
All right.

Get back to me as soon as
There's something to report.

Thank you.
>> krystle: what's going

To happen?
>> blake: well, I'm not sure,

Darling.
I think this drop in the stock

Is just temporary.
The market is bound

To stabilize, but...
As for the money I have to pay

My brother -- well, that hurts,
But I've handled reversals

Before.
I better get down to the office.

This is bound to be
A hectic day.

>> krystle: I don't understand.
Why don't you appeal the case

In court?
>> blake: I wanted to appeal,

But the lawyers said
It was going to take years,

And I can't wait years.
I've got to get my name cleared

Long before that.
Just as I've got to find that

Woman who was with my brother
On the day of the fire.

>> blake: you'll never know
How much that helps me.

>> alexis: I don't care if you
Do think that the price is going

To go down, just keep on buying
Denver carrington stock.

And buy it in street name.
The less visible we are,

The better.
>> ben: I never would have

Believed it.
>> alexis: believed what?

>> ben: that a beautiful young
Girl who showed up from england

To marry my brother would come
Out of her cocoon and turn into

An iron butterfly.
>> alexis: correction, ben --

Where business is concerned,
I'm a steel butterfly,

Reinforced with concrete.
>> ben: I'll buy that.

>> alexis: talking of buying,
I could buy a lot

With that $125 million.
>> ben: alexis, I might admire

Your style, but I certainly
Don't like the idea of your

Spending my money.
>> alexis: may I remind you

That you wouldn't have a cent
If it weren't for me,

And that 41.5 million
Belongs to me?

>> ben: oh, I remember,
But have you forgotten how you

Told me that you'd give it up
Gladly to get exactly

What you've gotten --
Your revenge on blake?

The money's mine now, alexis,
The plans for what I do with it

Are mine,
And I don't need your advice

To tell me how to spend it.
>> alexis: where are you going?

>> ben: I have an appointment
Across town.

>> alexis: oh, fine, ben.
That's just fine.

But don't try to cross me,
Will you?

Because we haven't finished
With your brother yet,

And you still need me for that.
Have a nice day.

>> man: I have an appointment
With mrs. Colby.

>> alexis: martin.
It's good to see you again

After all this time.
>> martin: it's rather early

In the day, isn't it, alexis,
For whatever this is all about?

I don't know why we couldn't
Meet later in your office.

>> alexis: I find my apartment
More comfortable

And more private.
You want some coffee?

>> martin: no, thanks.
>> alexis: you are still

On blake's board of directors,
Aren't you?

>> martin: yes, I am.
>> alexis: good.

Then I think that you and I
Should have a little talk.

Do you remember
The palmieri incident in which

Your brother was involved?
>> martin: that was years ago.

It's dead and buried.
>> alexis: ah, but I have

The shovel to undo the grave,
Should I so choose.

In plain english,
I'm calling in my marker.

Now, shall we have
Our little talk?

>> blake: how do we stand now?
>> adam: our situation

Hasn't improved any.
>> blake: what does that mean?

>> adam: you're down
Another four points.

>> blake: well, we're trying
Everything possible, aren't we?

>> steven: we're doing our best.
We're buying back as much

Of our stock as possible.
>> blake: I appreciate

Your help -- both of you.
>> ben: hello, blake.

Steven, adam.
>> blake: who the hell

Let you in here?
>> ben: it's pandemonium

In your corridors,
Your reception room.

Neither of your two secretaries
Even looked up from their

Troubles, so I just walked in.
>> blake: why?

>> ben: to have a brotherly
Little talk.

Shall we -- talk?
>> steven: adam, why don't you

And I wait in your office?
>> blake: all right,

Say what you have to say
And get out of here.

>> ben: the word on the street
Must be true -- that you're

Having a whole lot of trouble
Buying up your own stock.

>> blake: well, the word
On the street is wrong.

>> ben: come on.
You're talking to me now,

Big brother.
Look, as of today, I just happen

To have a little extra
Pocket money, as you know,

And I'd be happy to lend it
To you if you'd give me a seat,

Maybe two,
On your board of directors.

>> blake: for you and alexis.
>> ben: well, we don't have to

Get into that now.
>> blake: but that is what

You're talking about, isn't it?
You've got the guts enough

To come in here and make
That kind of a proposal to me?

>> ben: you need the money,
Don't you?

>> blake: if I did,
I wouldn't use yours.

I try to deal with clean money
And decent people.

That's something that you
Haven't been since the day

You let mama die in that fire.
>> ben: I'd say

Tell that to the judge...
Except you already have,

Haven't you, big brother?
>> woman: hello, patrick.

>> patrick: your table is ready,
Mrs. Culver.

And today for dessert,
We have your favorite --

Chocolate mousse pie.
>> mrs. Culver: that's

Wonderful.
>> man: okay, those are fine.

>> amanda: mr. Bradley?
Hello. I'm amanda carrington.

>> mr. Bradley: yes, I know.
>> amanda: uh, may I sit down?

>> mr. Bradley: of course.
>> amanda: I wanted to

Congratulate you on your being
Made manager of la mirage.

>> mr. Bradley: well, thank you.
It's quite an undertaking,

But I think I'm ready for it.
>> amanda: and I'd like a job

Here.
>> mr. Bradley: I see.

>> amanda: I hear you have
An opening in guest relations,

And I think I'd be very well
Suited for it.

>> mr. Bradley: I think you'll
Have to take that up with

Your father, not with me.
>> amanda: mr. Bradley,

It's true that my father
Owns this hotel, and that makes

This very hard for me,
But couldn't you just forget

That and sit down with me
And hear what I have to say?

>> mr. Bradley: I'm very sorry.
I'd like to.

But the fact is, we don't have
Any openings in guest relations,

P.R. -- anything like that.
Really, I am sorry.

Excuse me?
>> amanda: nothing, thank you.

>> clay: hi, amanda.
It isn't all that easy

To be rich, is it?
>> amanda: I don't appreciate

Your eavesdropping, clay.
>> clay: well, don't get

The wrong idea.
I was waiting for my partner

To show, and I couldn't help
Overhearing and thinking that

I know what it's like, too --
Having a father who plays ball

In the big honcho league.
Just take a look at me.

>> amanda: must I?
>> clay: oh, come on, amanda.

Don't be that sensitive.
I used to be, and I got over it.

And do you want to know how?
By doing things on my own,

For myself.
People disapprove --

Especially my father --
But the important thing is that

I'm doing what I want to do.
>> amanda: well, I can't seem to

Be able to find anything to do.
>> clay: well, maybe that's

Because you're not trying
Hard enough.

I mean, this isn't the only
Place in the world you could

Find a job.
I don't believe in

Soft cushions, but for starters,
A little nepotism

Isn't that bad.
Your mother --

>> amanda: what about my mother?
>> clay: she owns a huge

Corporation.
Why don't you just ask her

To help you out?
Amanda, what's the matter?

She is your mother.
>> amanda: I'd rather not

Discuss my mother.
>> man: denver carrington stock

Is plummeting, right?
>> blake: that's the word

They're using today,
So today our stock is down.

Yes, that's right, mr. Wales.
>> wales: you're as honest

As ever, mr. Carrington.
Let's talk a little bit

About the trial and the public's
Confidence in you.

Could all of this sudden
Bad luck with the stocks

Be the result of the trial?
I mean, the things that were

Said about you in court...
>> blake: things that were said

About me in court were untrue.
>> wales: so you maintain.

>> blake: so I insist,
Just as I insist that this

So-called plummeting of our
Stock is, uh, is just temporary.

I'm fighting it, and I'm going
To win that fight.

>> wales: oh, your
Self-confidence seems rather

Strong right now.
>> blake: yes, it is.

>> wales: but you're ready
For battle.

>> blake: more than ready.
>> wales: wouldn't you say that

History is repeating itself?
I'm referring to the ted dinard

Case several years ago,
When your son steven's lover

Died, and you were convicted
Of his death.

>> blake: the court ruled that
That was an accident,

And you know it.
>> wales: what I know

And everybody knows
Is you were given the lightest

Of sentences --
Two years' probation.

So in a manner of speaking,
You got away with murder then,

And you're getting away
With murder again.

>> blake: now you listen to me,
Mr. Wales, and you listen well.

I did not murder my mother.
Now take this damn machine

And get out of here.
>> wales: well, uh, tell me

Off the record, mr. Carrington,
Is this the uglier side of the

Man whose picture always appears
On our cover with a smile?

I must tell the art director
To do a little touching up

Around the lips this time.
>> blake: you put my picture

On the cover of your magazine,
You print one word of this

Conversation in that magazine,
And I'll have your head!

Do you understand that?
Get out of here.

>> blake: yes?

>> woman: mr. Carrington?
Mrs. Colby just arrived

To see you.
>> blake: she what?

>> woman: she insisted
On waiting in your board room.

>> alexis: good afternoon,
Blake.

>> blake: may I ask what
The hell you're doing in here?

>> alexis: well, you might say
That I'm mentally redesigning

This board room.
>> blake: and what does that

Mean?
>> alexis: oh, this wallpaper

Is absolutely hideous,
And this terrible old furniture.

The only word for it is passé.
>> blake: well, I think

It's just fine.
>> alexis: this chair --

I think I'd be much more
Comfortable with something

That doesn't swivel so much.
In case you haven't

Got the point,
I shall be going between both

Denver carrington and colbyco's
Board rooms when both companies

Belong to me.
>> blake: apparently, you don't

Have a very good memory.
>> alexis: oh, on the contrary,

I have an excellent memory.
>> blake: you have?

Then you must remember the day
You sat in this room,

Down at that end of the table,
When you were on the brink

Of forcing a merger between
Denver carrington and colbyco,

And you suddenly crumbled
And there was no merger.

>> alexis: that was before
I developed the excellent

Business brain that I have
Today.

I assure you that that's not
Going to happen again.

>> blake: oh, yes.
Yes, I believe it will.

>> alexis: you can't face facts,
Can you?

You can't admit that you're
Becoming more and more

Powerless.
Well, this time there's not

Going to be any crumbling.
This time it's

Go-for-the-jugular.
And believe me, blake, I will.

>> dominique: garrett boydston,
Please.

Dominique deveraux calling.
Garrett.

>> garrett: hello, dominique.
It's good to hear from you.

Now that you've come back
To l.A., it'll be even better.

>> dominique: garrett,
I'm calling you about jackie.

Have you seen her?
>> garrett: no. Why?

Where is she?
>> dominique: I don't know.

She's run away.
>> garrett: what?

>> dominique: she left,
And I was hoping she'd gone

To see you.
She's called from the road

Three times.
>> garrett: where on the road?

>> dominique: she won't say.
>> garrett: well, she's calling

You. That's a good sign.
It means she doesn't want

To lose touch.
It's going to be all right,

Dominique.
We'll find her, you know that.

>> dominique: oh...
I wish I did.

Oh, my god, I wish I did,
Garrett.

>> alexis: where can I find
Mr. Dexter?

Thanks.
>> alexis: hi, dex.

>> dex: alexis.
Out slumming?

>> alexis: I don't know.
I just came to see

What you were up to.
>> dex: it's called work --

An honest day's work.
>> alexis: oh, yes, of course.

The male mystique.
Out in the field with the boys.

Dirty your hands
And cleanse your soul.

Doing penance?
>> dex: I'm busy, alexis.

>> alexis: not too busy
To sign these.

>> dex: you could've sent them.
>> alexis: yes, but then

I couldn't have visited
Your little purgatory, could I?

>> woman: dex,
Sorry to interrupt you...

>> alexis: ah, out in the field
With the boysandthe girls.

Some purgatory.
>> woman: what business is it

Of yours, lady?
>> alexis: oh, well, actually,

It is my business.
You see, I happen to be

Your absentee co-employer.
The "Lex" in lex-dex.

>> dex: jennifer, whatever you
Have to tell me, can it wait?

>> jennifer: sure.
I could wait for you

Indefinitely, dex.
>> alexis: oh.

How sweet.
She's quite attractive

For somebody who works
With machines.

I presume that's what
She works with.

>> dex: she does her job,
Alexis.

She does it well.
>> alexis: I bet she does.

>> dex: look, these papers --
You know I never sign anything

Without reading them first.
>> alexis: all right, I'll wait.

I need them for my lawyer
Right away.

>> dex: I'm busy.
I'll get them back to you

By morning.
>> alexis: all right.

Have a pleasant evening.
I'm sure you would've done,

Anyway.
>> dex: alexis.

>> alexis: yes.
>> dex: why did you come out

Here?
>> alexis: to check up

On what you were doing
With my millions,

Not to see you, darling.
>> blake: good to see you again,

Garrett.
>> garrett: thank you.

>> blake: sit down, won't you?
What brings you to denver?

>> garrett: well, I have another
Appointment with dominique,

But, uh,
Jason did ask me to drop in

And touch base with you.
Blake, I...

Hate to bring this up, but, uh,
With your stock dropping

This way, uh,
How is that going to affect

Your commitments with jason?
>> blake: denver carrington

Still has all its assets.
They're unchanged.

We're still
A multibillion-dollar company,

You know.
>> garrett: well, I know that.

I know, but, uh,
There seems to be some feeling

That, uh,
Well, there are moral issues

Involved here.
>> blake: come on, garrett,

Let's get to the point.
Jason colby didn't ask you

To touch base,
He ordered you to come here.

He sent you here to find out
Whether that stuff

They said about me
At the hearing was true or not.

Isn't that right?
>> garrett: in a way, yes.

>> blake: well, I don't have
To answer to jason.

I don't have to answer to you,
Either, for that matter.

>> garrett: I understand
Your anger,

And I'm not judging you.
Blake, you know how much

I respect you.
>> blake: I'm sorry, garrett.

I shouldn't have jumped on you
That way.

It's just that this thing
Has gotten to me.

>> blake: I don't care
How much money it costs,

I don't care
How long it takes...

I've got to get my name
Cleared.

>> alexis: you went to see blake
This morning.

I want to know why.
>> ben: did you have me

Followed, alexis?
>> alexis: I don't have to.

I have contacts
All over this city.

So, what did you have
To discuss with him that you

Couldn't talk to me about?
>> ben: that's my business.

>> alexis: oh, no, no, ben.
It's my business, too...

If we're going
To trust each other.

>> ben: alexis, we've never
Really trusted one another.

We never will,
So why start now?

I know you, you know me.
>> alexis: and you think that

Eventually one of us is going
To double-cross the other?

Is that it?
>> ben: it may come to that,

Yeah.
>> alexis: well, in that case,

I think you'd better include me
Out of this partnership,

Take your little act
On the road,

And get out of my apartment.
>> ben: while your spies

Are tagging along
In rolls-royces

And colbyco helicopters,
Watching my every move?

>> alexis: I shall do whatever
Is necessary to protect

My own interests.
>> ben: and I to protect mine.

And the winner will be top dog,
And the other dog

Will be buried alive.
Unless...

>> alexis: unless what?
>> ben: unless we do work

Together,
Unless we stay together...

Pull together...
Be together.

>> dominique: jackie.

Jackie,
Is that you?

>> garrett: garrett.
>> dominique: oh, garrett.

Oh, thank god it's you.
Oh! I need you so much,

So much right now.
>> garrett: any word from her?

>> dominique: no.
But every hour that passes,

I become more frightened
For her and for us.

>> garrett: for us?
>> dominique: garrett.

You are jackie's father.
>> garrett: what?

>> dominique: oh, you knew it.
I lied.

I thought I was doing
The right thing, and I lied.

>> garrett: my god, why?
Why did you wait so long

To tell me?
Did she have to run away

For you to finally admit it?
And what was so right about what

You thought you were doing?
>> dominique: garrett, please,

Not now! Not now!
When don't even know

Where she is.
She could be out there,

And something terrible
Could be happening to her.

>> garrett: has she...
Called you since we last talked?

>> dominique: no.
>> garrett: all right.

You said you spoke to her
Three times before.

What did she say?
>> dominique: that she was

All right, she didn't
Want me to worry,

Then she'd hang up.
>> garrett: well, you said

She called long-distance.
Did you hear her deposit any

Coins after you were connected?
>> dominique: no, I didn't.

>> garrett: good, that means
She may still be here in denver.

>> dominique: maybe.
I don't know, garrett.

>> garrett: let's pray to god
She is.

Get me the police.
>> ben: another martini?

>> alexis: yes, thank you.
>> ben: anything else?

>> alexis: what are you
Offering --

Within limits, that is.
>> ben: you know what I think,

Alexis?
>> alexis: no. What?

>> ben: it's time we went up
To your room.

>> alexis: no, I don't.
>> ben: then down to my room.

I'm not going to make love
To you here, alexis.

>> alexis: oh, I'm sorry
To disappoint you, ben,

But you're not going
To make love to me at all.

>> ben: don't tell me
You're still the flirt

You always were.
>> alexis: do I sense a touch

Of male chauvinism
In that remark?

Yes, of course,
I adore flirting.

It makes what might come next
So much more exciting.

>> alexis: hello, dex.
>> alexis: what can I do

For you?
>> dex: the papers

You wanted signed.
I said morning, but I finished

Reading them tonight.
>> alexis: obviously.

Well, just leave them, will you?
>> dex: I guess we each have

Our own style of penance,
Don't we, alexis?

>> alexis: so it seems, dex.
So it seems.

>> krystle: amanda.
I didn't see you

At breakfast this morning.
Are you all right?

>> amanda: I haven't been
Feeling very well lately.

I couldn't sleep last night.
In fact, I've been miserable.

>> krystle: what's the matter?
>> amanda: it's dex.

I realize I made
A stupid mistake with him.

I loved him, but it was wrong.
And worst of all...

>> krystle: go on.
>> amanda: I hurt my mother.

I hurt her deeply.
She won't even talk to me,

Krystle.
It's such a terrible feeling.

>> krystle: I know.
Unfortunately, I know.

>> amanda: how? How could you?
>> krystle: because I made

A similar mistake once.
>> amanda: oh, god,

I wish alexis could understand.
You know the way she is,

Krystle.
She'll never forgive me.

She'll hate me
For as long as I live.

>> danny: come on, mommy.
>> sammy jo: okay.

>> steven: hey,
Choo-choo charlie, come here!

>> danny: daddy,
I'm going on a picnic!

>> steven: going on a picnic,
Huh?

Where are you taking him?
>> sammy jo: like danny said,

For a picnic...In the playroom.
>> danny: mommy said

That it's too cold outside.
>> steven: yeah, well,

It is cold out there.
>> sammy jo: steven,

I'm really sorry about the way
That lawyer twisted everything

You said about blake in court.
>> steven: thanks, sammy jo.

What do you want?
>> sammy jo: nothing.

I meant it.
Okay, I think it's terrific

The way
You brought your father down.

Nice touch.
Iamsorry, steven.

Now, lighten up.
Stop taking yourself

So seriously all the time.
>> steven: okay, danny,

I got to get dressed
And go to work, all right?

>> danny: bye, daddy.
>> steven: bye.

>> robot: here's

Your pepperoni pizza, danny.
>> danny: thank you.

>> robot: you're welcome.
>> danny: mmm, this is good,

Mommy.
>> heather: well, I knew

You'd like it.
And what do you think

Of samantha josephine reese's
Very special picnic lunch?

>> clay: it all looks
Very interesting,

Especially these, uh,
Corn dogs.

>> sammy jo: mm, and the best
Way to eat them is like so --

Take a dog,
Dip it in mustard...

>> clay: uh-huh.
>> sammy jo: and maybe

Just a dab of ketchup...
>> clay: just a dab.

>> sammy jo: just a dab.
>> clay: aha.

>> sammy jo: and then you take
A big healthy bite, like this.

>> clay: I think I'll just --
Ahem -- mmm.

>> sammy jo: now, have you ever
Tasted anything more fabulous?

>> clay: I'll tell you,
Sammy jo, I haven't had

Anything this exotic
Since I picnicked in mongolia

A couple months ago
On marinated rattlesnake.

>> sammy jo: marinated
Rattlesnake?

You're pulling my leg.
>> clay: scout's honor.

>> danny: can I be a scout?
>> clay: in about five years,

Okay?
>> danny: okay.

>> clay: he's a great kid,
Sammy jo.

>> sammy jo: thanks.
Clay.

What is that short for --
Clayton?

>> clay: clayburn.
It was my grandfather's name.

It's my father's middle name.
Buckley clayburn fallmont --

Ex-senator
Of these united states.

>> sammy jo: I'm impressed.
>> clay: are you really?

>> sammy jo: mm-hmm.
I bet you could be a senator

If you wanted to.
>> clay: no.

>> sammy jo: no, you've got
Everything going for you --

Great looks, class...
And that smile of yours.

>> clay: well, thanks,
Sammy jo, but I really have

No interest in politics,
And as far

As my smile is concerned,
Hey, I've got a great life.

I'm enjoying it.
>> sammy jo: danny,

Why don't you get your mom
A slice of pizza?

>> danny: okay, mommy.
>> clay: hey.

>> sammy jo: thanks, danny.
>> clay: whoo-oo!

>> sammy jo: ha ha ha ha.
>> clay: hey!

>> danny: ha ha ha ha!
>> clay: is that fun?

Ha ha ha ha!
>> danny: yeah!

>> clay: let's do it again.
>> danny: ha ha ha ha!

>> blake: hello, cassie.
>> cassie: thank you

For letting me barge in on you
Like this, blake,

But it'll be worth your while.
It's urgent.

>> blake: what could be
So urgent?

>> cassie: alexis -- my dear,
Selfish, vindictive sister.

>> blake: oh? What about alexis?
>> cassie: I know she lied

In court, blake.
She perjured herself

On that witness stand
When she swore she'd been in bed

With you the day of the fire.
>> blake: how do you know that?

>> cassie: because she was
With me.

We weren't even in denver
Until later that night.

>> blake: well, if you weren't
In denver, where were you?

>> cassie: we'd flown to chicago
Together on a shopping trip.

>> blake: are you sure
About that?

>> cassie: absolutely sure.
>> blake: chicago...

Yes, I'm beginning to remember
That now.

Yes! I didn't see alexis until
The next day at the mortuary.

>> cassie: this can help,
Can't it?

>> blake: well, we're talking
About something that happened

More than 20 years ago.
It's not that easy to prove

That you were in chicago
On a certain day that long ago.

>> cassie: yes, I know,
But I want to help you, blake.

I want so much to help you,
And I'm going to -- somehow.

>> blake: you really mean that
Now?

>> cassie: with everything
That's in me...

Including all the hatred
I have for alexis.

This isn't over, blake --
Not so far as I'm concerned.

>> blake: all right, cassie.
I appreciate what you're saying,

But if we do go back into court,
We're going to need

Hard evidence.
>> cassie: then I'm going

To find it.
Anything to get back at

My dear sister.
>> alexis: so what exactly

Do you want here, krystle --
A handout?

Why don't you see one
Of my people in petty cash?

Tell them I sent you.
>> krystle: your put-downs

Are as empty as you are, alexis.
Don't you ever get tired

Of trying?
>> alexis: as a matter of fact,

No.
Putting you down is so simple,

It's one of life's pleasures.
>> krystle: I came here to talk

To you about amanda.
>> alexis: really?

Well, I see no reason
To talk about any of my children

With you, so you're wasting
Your time here.

>> krystle: amanda's in a lot
Of pain, and I'm very worried

About her.
>> alexis: amanda is an adult.

She's proved that
By her actions.

I have nothing to say to her
Or you.

>> krystle: god, when are you
Going to stop being so selfish?

Alexis, she's your daughter!
And she's suffering.

And the one thing she needs
More than anything else is --

>> alexis: is my maternal
Forgiveness?

>> krystle: yes.
>> alexis: ha ha.

>> krystle: she's terribly
Guilty about what happened

With dex, and she's struggling
Desperately for some sort

Of direction.
You're the only one who can

Give her what she wants.
>> alexis: I have more important

Things on my mind
Than a cheating daughter.

>> krystle: you're not really
So heartless, are you, alexis?

It's me you're reacting to --
My being here --

Not the fact that you don't care
About your daughter.

That is it, isn't it?
>> alexis: the day I answer

To you, krystle, will be the day
That I let up on blake,

And that'll be never.
Now, you see that door?

You opened it when you came in,
So close it...Behind you.

>> steven: "An emergency meeting
Of the denver carrington

Board of directors will be held
At 3:00 p.M. Today.

Your attendance is mandatory."
Dominique just phoned me.

She got the same wire.
What's this all about, dad?

>> blake: martin gaines
Is demanding that I resign

As chairman of the board.
>> steven: what?

>> blake: yes. He's lined up
A couple of other board members

To vote with him.
I tell you, this sick plot that

Ben and alexis have conjured up
To drag me through the dirt

Is getting worse and worse,
Turning into a nightmare.

>> steven: what are you
Going to do?

>> blake: I don't know,
But I've got until the meeting

To figure it out.
I can't let this break me.

Alexis is out for blood.
Well, that's just what she's

Going to get -- blood.
Hers and my brother's.

>> claudia: hi.
Is my husband in?

>> woman: I'm afraid
He stepped out for a while,

Mrs. Carrington.
>> claudia: no problem.

I'll wait inside.
>> claudia: ..."And I hereby

Sign over power of attorney
To my son adam carrington.

Signed, blake carrington."
>> steven: adam --

Claudia?
>> claudia: steven.

>> steven: where's adam?
>> claudia: I don't know.

>> steven: what are you doing
In here?

>> claudia: what am I doing
Here?

I think that's pretty obvious.
I'm waiting for adam.

>> steven: what's been obvious
To me, claudia, is that you've

Been working on some kind
Of plan against adam.

Is that why you're here?
Are you looking for something?

Did you find it?
>> claudia: your interest in me

Is very touching,
But whatever it is,

It's none of your affair --
And that's a word that I'm sure

You're more than familiar with.
>> claudia: oh, adam,

We need to talk.
>> adam: I'm due

At a board meeting.
I haven't got time.

>> claudia: adam...
You're going to have to

Make time.
Read this.

>> adam: how did you get this?
>> claudia: that's not

Important.
What is important is that

We're partners now --
Equal partners --

And unless you do as I say,
I'm going to show that

To your father, and he's not
Going to like it one bit.

In fact, I can see the blood
In his eyes as we speak.

>> adam: yes?

>> blake: time for
The board meeting, adam.

We'd better go.
>> adam: I'll be right there.

>> claudia: that's right --
Do as your father says

And be a good boy.
You'd better go.

>> alexis: the last time
We talked, you twisted

Everything that I said.
In fact, you helped destroy

My marriage.
>> wales: oh,

That's yesterday's news,
When you were mrs. Dexter.

I'm here for tomorrow's
Mrs. Colby,

And the story-behind-the-story
About you, blake carrington,

And his brother ben.
>> alexis: all right.

Everything that I said
And did in that courtroom

I did to right a terrible
Injustice that had been done

To ben carrington.
>> wales: you're a real fighter,

Mrs. Colby, but this is one
Round I think you're probably

Going to lose in the long run.
>> alexis: what do you mean

By that?
>> wales: well, I interviewed

Blake carrington yesterday.
>> alexis: yes, so I heard.

And what did dear blake
Have to say?

>> wales: well, he spent all
Of his time talking about you,

Mrs. Colby.
In fact, he said some very

Inflammatory things about you.
>> alexis: really?

I'll be quite fascinated
To hear them.

I presume you have them on tape?
>> wales: it's with our lawyers,

To make sure that it's not
Libelous.

>> alexis: ah.
>> wales: I-I don't often

Say this --
It would be rotten for

My alleged killer reputation --
But I feel deeply sorry for you

And how you're going to react
When you read that interview.

>> alexis: do you?
All right, mr. Wales.

Turn up your tape recorder
And I'll give you

Your interview.
Blake carrington

Is a tarnished human being.
He is cruel, mercenary,

And unforgiving.
His public image

As a benevolent father figure
Is a complete sham.

He is responsible
For his mother's death

And for the death of ted dinard,
And he is also responsible

For banishing me from denver
And from my young children

By a vicious act of blackmail.
When the world learns

Of his true colors,
He's going to be hated

As few men in our time
Have been hated.

>> blake:
Gentlemen, I would like

To suggest that we dispense
With procedure and get on with

The business at hand
Without further delay.

>> martin: I so move.
>> dominique: second.

>> blake: all in favor?
>> all: aye.

>> blake: all opposed?
Martin, you're the one

That called this meeting.
Any particular reason?

>> martin: I think everyone
Knows why, blake --

I propose that you resign
As chairman of this board,

Effective immediately,
Or else that we take a vote

On it.
>> dominique: your reason being,

Mr. Gaines?
>> martin: blake was involved

In a hearing recently.
There was bad publicity.

>> blake: you mean my personal
Publicity, of course.

>> martin: yes, blake.
I'm referring to how that

Personal publicity rubbed off
On this company.

Now, the value
Of denver carrington stock

Plunged ever since
That decision was read.

>> blake: so now you think,
Because of this temporary

Setback, that I'm incapable
Of running this company --

The company that I founded.
Is that right?

>> martin: no, of course not,
Blake.

It's -- it's the company's image
That I'm --

That we're talking about here.
As far as you're concerned,

We know you.
We know you're innocent.

We know you could never
Have had anything to do

With your mother's death.
>> adam: mr. Gaines,

I'm not a member of this board,
And therefore I can't vote

On this issue -- if, in fact,
It should come to a vote --

But I can charge you and anyone
Else here who supports

Your stand and your double-talk
With inexcusable cowardice.

>> martin: I resent that,
Young man!

Yes, you're right.
You're not a member

Of this board, so kindly keep
Your opinions to yourself.

>> man: I agree with gaines,
Adam.

Your personal feelings
Are your own.

We're talking business here.
>> dominique: you don't seem

To understand.
Adam is talking about loyalty.

>> adam: that's right.
And I say that loyalty

Transcends whatever sacrifices
You might temporarily have to

Make so that my father can put
This company back on its feet.

>> man #2: would you care
To give us a timetable

On that loyalty?
I doubt that very much.

>> man #3: I think young
Carrington's made a point there.

>> - man #2: and I don't.
- >> blake:

Gentlemen, please,
Listen to me for a minute.

I still have
Controlling interest

In this company,
So it's my image

And my reputation
That are at stake here.

Now, as for this temporary
Stock plunge,

I intend to turn it around.
Not only that, but I guarantee

That denver carrington stock
Is going to be stronger

Than it has ever been,
And this company is going

To be stronger
Than it has ever been.

>> martin: nice speech, blake,
But would you tell me exactly

How the hell you're going
To accomplish such a miracle?

And that's what it would be --
A total miracle.

>> blake: all right,
I'll tell you how.

I plan to take over colbyco.
>> man: a hostile takeover?

>> blake: well, it's not going
To be friendly,

I assure you of that.
>> steven: dad,

Colbyco is bigger than we are.
A takeover is a risky move.

Are you sure that's the way
You want to go?

>> adam: where do your loyalties
Lie now, steven?

You worked with mother.
You work for father.

Whose side are you on?
>> blake: all right, adam,

That's enough.
The issue here

Is denver carrington,
And only denver carrington.

I would like to put this
To a vote.

>> martin: so moved.
>> man: second.

>> blake: all right.
Those opposed to a takeover,

Signify by raising their hands,
Please.

>> blake: all in favor
Of the takeover,

Signify by raising their hands.
>> blake: 5 to 5.

>> blake: the motion is passed,
6 to 5.

All right...
Now, once and for all,

Let's get 'em.
Let's get colbyco.
