Before. I better get down to the office.

This is bound to be A hectic day.

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

But the lawyers said It was going to take years,

>> 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.

>> 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

Your commitments with jason? >> blake: denver carrington

Still has all its assets. They're unchanged.

We're still A multibillion-dollar company,

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.

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.

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

I've got to get my name Cleared.

>> 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.

>> 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.
