[TYPEWRITER KEYS CLACKING]

MAN: The bodies
of the two occupants of that plane

are in the morgue here in Seattle.

And we're looking
for more signs of identification.

Positive identification.

Positive identification?

Does that mean that you're not sure
who the people were in that plane?

We're sure about one of them.

The man piloting the aircraft
was thrown clear on impact.

The papers he had on him showed him
to be a Brazilian national

recently released from prison
on a cocaine charge.

The name is

- Peter De Vilbis.
- Peter De Vilbis?

- What was she doing with him?
- Let's hear the rest of this.

Now, do you know who
the other person was in that plane?

Well, we're not certain yet.

We know it was a female,
and she was trapped in the plane.

With the force
of the explosion and the fire,

there's no hope of positive l.D.
Not from the body.

- Well, then it might not be Fallon.
- Lieutenant, see you for a minute?

- Excuse me.
BLAKE: Jeff, did you hear that?

There was no positive identification.

- Then who was with De Vilbis?
- Well, maybe another woman.

No, she didn't leave the retreat alone.
Brother Leo told me that.

Well, De Vilbis might have dropped
Fallon off someplace

and picked up another woman.

Oh, look, Blake.

She must have called him
from the retreat.

She must have asked him
to come for her.

That still doesn't mean
that she was on that plane.

Jeff, Fallon was sick.
She was in pain.

Those headaches
must have been agony.

Now, we can't blame her
if she called someone.

My men found a woman's ring.

lt's pretty scorched.
Maybe one of you can recognise it.

l gave this to Fallon
when we got engaged.

She went off with him

and she died with him.

Here.

l don't want this.

Lindsay...

How she admired Fallon.

l remember one night, we were doing
the supper dishes and she said to me:

''Mommy, when l grow up,

do you think l'll be as beautiful
as Fallon Carrington, even close?''

And l said,
''Yes, l do, l think you will.''

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello.

Kystle, Jeff is here with me.

The Sheriffs Office up here
has confirmed it.

lt was Fallon.

Blake, l'm so sory.

We'll be home tonight.
We'll be flying back with...

With her.

[INHALES DEEPLM

We'll be waiting for you.

Fallon?

J
Blake and Jeff

they'll be home tonight

with her body.

Oh, no.

Oh, my God, no. Not again.

No.

Oh, God.

Claudia.

Don't cy, please.

We have to be strong.

Jeff and Blake and Steven,
they're gonna need us.

[SOBBING]

Steven.

[SNIFFLES]

They told me you were up here.

l was iust looking
over some of the things

Fallon and l used to play
with when we were kids.

She used to call eveything dumb.

Dumb scooter.

Dumb tricycle.

Dumb baseball glove.

Dumb.

She was a great sister, Dad.

She was my best friend.

Son, this loss, this terrible loss,

maybe it will help bring
the rest of the family together.

lf you're talking about Adam and me,
he's not family to me, Dad.

We didn't grow up together.

And more important than that,
l don't trust him.

l can't forgive him for letting Sammy Jo
just take off with my son.

lt's finally arranged.

One o'clock, a week from Friday,
in Los Angeles.

She made it vey clear
that Danny wouldn't be with her,

so l wouldn't have
a chance to see him.

Or better yet, to make a grab for him
and bring him back home.

She's got me in a corner, Dad.

She's holding my son for ransom
and l don't know how to get him back.

We'll get him back.

Somehow, we'll get him back.

Jeff, about the funeral service...

Now, l think that Fallon
would have wanted it to be private.

Just the family
and some of the staff.

How do you feel about that?

That sounds fine, Blake.

You handle the arrangements, okay?

[BLAKE SIGHS]

Jeff, about Fallon,
l know you're angy,

Vey an9y,
because of her being with De Vilbis.

- For whatever reason--
- l'd rather not pursue this if you--

- Well, l want to pursue it.
- Why? To straighten me out?

To tell me she was like
eveyone else on this earth,

that she had her faults,
that she wasn't pe_ect?

Well, you don't have to
because l know that.

l know that.

Yes.

Yes, she did have her faults,
but l loved her despite those faults.

And l know that you loved her too.

,
It seems to me, Jeff

we should remember
those wonde_ul qualities,

the things about her that we loved.

Because they are the things

that should be providing us
with comfort now.

l'd like to be left alone
if you don't mind.

l'll deal with my grief, my feelings,
in my own way.

l'm vey, vey sory.

Yeah, l know, l know.

Have you or Steven told Alexis?

- No, we haven't.
- l'll have to tell her.

She won't be back until tomorrow.

Where's she been?

Caracas.

She's been arrested
for leaving the county.

What was she doing there?

She went to see Billy Waite.

Mm. That's not important, for now.

Your Maiesty has five minutes.

What are you doing here, Blake?

lt's not Fallon, is it?

Has something happened to Fallon?

Alexis, l, uh...

What's happened?

l know something's happened.

Fallon was killed in a plane crash.

No.

No.

No, no, no!

[SOBBING]
My baby.

My baby.

You.

You stole my children
away from me.

You let them run wild
and you killed her.

You killed my baby.

You killed my baby.

What are we going to do?

Blake, what are we going to do?

Blake.

MAN: You will let us know
if there's anything that we can do.

- Thank you, good night.
- Good night.

Blake, Kystle,
time to be getting on home.

Thank you vey much
for coming, George.

l know how many problems of your
own all of you people have these days,

and l appreciate your being here.

We loved Fallon, vey much.

As for problems,

when Denver-Carrington
gets rolling again,

well, there iust won't be
any more problems.

- Good night.
- Good night.

- Kystle.
- Good night.

lt's so good to see you.

Mr. Carrington,
l have to thank you again.

- Oh, come on, now--
- No, l have to.

Keeping me on salay

has been making all the difference
in the world for me.

BLAKE :
Bye-bye, Marcia.

- Kystle.
- Bye.

Tsk. It's a shame, really a shame.

When a company
like Denver-Carrington

goes out of business, we forget
the economic shoc_aves it causes.

Now, those are good people,
all of them, out of work.

l should be tying to help them get
their jobs back again, but l can't.

l iust can't seem to concentrate
on anything.

Of course you can't.

Fallon's gone and all of us
have died a little bit inside.

We can't expect
to get over it that easily.

[PHONE RINGS]

- Hello?
- Blake, it's Billy.

l heard the tragic news.
l'm vey, vey sory.

Thank you, Billy.

Have you made
any decision about the loan?

The South China Sea deal. Yes.

l'm afraid that the way
my finances are going these days,

l'm not gonna be able
to go it with you.

Come on now, Billy.

The amount that we discussed
was peanuts to you and you know it.

l do not know it, Blake.

And you should know me
well enough

to know l don't appreciate
being pressured,

particularly after l've made
my position clear.

All right, then tell me one thing.

Exactly what did Alexis do that caused
you to back out of that deal?

Oh! My other phone is going.
l'm gonna have to get off.

Well, l'm sory.
l'm vey sory about eveything.

Well, she did it again.

Alexis has succeeded
in cutting me off from eveyone.

My God.

lf l could iust forget that she's
the mother of my children, l'd...

[SIGHS]

But l can't.

l can't forget.

Hello, cowboy.

Hello, Daddy.

- How you doing?
- Fine.

- Daddy?
- Yes?

Remember when my puppy died
and you said it went to heaven?

Yes, l remember.

Did my mommy go to visit him?

Yes, she did, son.

You see, Mommy was sick.

She was in an accident.

And she was in a lot of pain.

And God took her there
so she wouldn't hurt anymore.

ls heaven nice?

Yes, oh, it's vey nice.

lt's vey beautiful.

l wish they'd both come back to me,
my puppy and my mommy.

l'll be right out here.

Hello, Alexis.

Hello, Dex.

There are no words, l know.

But you have my sympathy.

My deepest sympathy.

Thank you.

Oh, God, this place.

What am l doing in this place?

Can't they understand
it would never have occurred to me

that anyone would think
l wasn't coming back from Venezuela?

Didn't you hear the iudge?

He told you not to leave the state,
Iet alone the county.

l know, l know, it was stupid of me.

Give me a cigarette.

l'm worried about you, Alexis.

The circumstantial evidence
against you is building.

The man in the street,
he can't be expected to--

Oh, Dex, if you're gonna tell me

that public antipathy
is building against me,

along with eveything else,
then don't.

Because l don't wanna hear about it.
Not now, not at this time in my life.

That's the key word, Alexis.
Life. Your life.

That's what l'm talking about,
thinking about.

Your life and your freedom.

[SNIFFLES]

That's not where my thoughts
are now, Dex.

They're with Fallon.

They're with my beautiful daughter
who's dead.

Dex, you've gotta get me out of here.

l've got to be with her one last time.

Please, Dex, please help me.

There's nothing l can do.

They're buying my baby.

And l wanna be with her.
Please let me out of here. Please.

Please.

[SOBBING]

DEX:
l'll phone the governor.

Behold, l show you a mystey.

We shall not all sleep,

but we shall all be changed
in a moment,

in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump.

For the trumpet shall sound

and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible.

And we shall be changed.

For this corruptible
must be made incorruptible,

and this mortal
must be made immortal.

Then shall be brought to pass
the saying that is written:

''Death is swallowed up in victoy.

Oh, death, where is thy sting?

Oh, grave, where is thy victoy?''

May the soul
of Fallon Carrington Colby,

betrothed of Jeffrey Colby,

mother of Blake Jeffrey Colby,

daughter of Blake Carrington
and Alexis Colby,

daughter of this rich
Colorado earth she loved so dearly,

rest in eternal peace in that earth.

Fallon.

Goodbye.

l loved you
from the moment you were born.

And l shall continue
to love you for as long as l breathe,

and then, beyond that.

My little girl.

Please forgive
any of the differences that we had.

l loved your strength.

l love you always.

Goodbye, my baby.

[SOBBING]

Why, Fallon? Why'd you leave me?
You never loved me.

lf you loved me,
you wouldn't have left me for that bum.

You bitch!

What the devil
do you think you're doing?

l will not let you desecrate
my daughter's funeral, you--

You're a drunken fool.

Jeff, l told you she'd become sick.

ls it too much
to ask you to forgive her?

ls it?

Well, it's good to see you relaxing.

Relaxing?

l'm iust sitting here thinking.

Thinking about Billy Waite
turning me down,

and the others
who have turned me down.

What do l do now?

l don't know,
but you'll think of something.

Kystle, l have to work.
l need to work.

lt's the one thing
that's always saved me.

l understand, but iust don't
drive yourself too hard right now.

Ty not to deal
with people like Billy Waite.

Blake, being rich
isn't important to me.

And living in a 48-room house,

well, there are times
when l still get lost.

So, what does it matter
if we lose the house?

Well, it matters to me.

My children
were born and raised in this house.

One of them
was buried from this house.

Can't you understand
what this place means to me?

Darling, of course l can.

But the memories don't go away,
no matter where you live.

Blake, what matters to me
is that we have each other.

Remember that, despite eveything
that's happened, we have each other.

And our baby.

My God, the baby moved.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

l should send it back.
l told them lots of onions.

Sammy Jo, where's Danny?

Where you can't get
your hands on him.

And don't bother looking for him.

He's with friends of mine,
a long way from Los Angeles.

What do you want for him?
How much?

Thirty thousand dollars a month,
for the rest of my life.

Where the hell do you expect me
to get that kind of money?

l know where.

Your father may be broke.
But you do have a vey rich mother.

You'll sign a document,
Iegal and binding,

giving up all claim to Danny forever.

l'll sign anything you want.

Okay.

Where's my son? l want him now.

Mm.

First, the contract.

Signed, sealed and delivered
with the first payment.

Thirty thou.

Where do l send it?

l'll call you in a few days
and let you know.

Steven.

Leave me $20 to pay for this,
or l'll make a scene.

Go ahead, make a scene.

Just remember,

if anything happens to my son between
now and the time l see him, l'll kill you.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Who's that?

Adam.

Come here. Come.

Come here.

Samantha.

Such a pretty girl.

So pretty.

[GIGGLES]

[MUFFLED SHOUTING]

Ah! Come here.

No. Don't.

Behave yourself.

Danny.

Uncle Adam's
come to take you home.

There we are.

And l got Danny out of that motel room
and we flew home.

He's a pretty good traveller, Steven.
The stewardesses loved him.

How is Danny?

He's asleep and he's terrific.

Adam, l wanna thank you
for bringing him back to us.

You've already thanked me enough,
Claudia, really.

Well, maybe l haven't.

[CHUCKLES]

Thank you, Adam. Again.

l guess l really didn't know you.

l underestimated you
and l'm sory for that.

Let's get one thing straight, Steven.
It wasn't my idea, it was father's.

l was iust carying it out.

Well, you did a fine iob, Adam.

But l have a feeling
we're not exactly finished with this yet.

Knowing Sammy Jo,
l'm sure we aren't.

BOY 1 :
Look at that big fancy car.

BOY 2:
Hey, let's go.

BOY 3:
No.

Hey. Hey.

[BOY WHISTLES]

WOMAN :
Good afternoon.

- That's a big car.
- Yes, it is.

Ha-ha. For a minute, l thought
the President of the United States

had decided
to visit Northern Colorado.

No, it's only me.

l know l don't know
any vey rich ladies like you,

and you obviously are vey rich.

But l wasn't always.

- Let me ask you something.
- Mm?

What is the single most beautiful
word in the English language?

Funny you should ask that.

lt's lullaby.

Lullaby.

You told me that word one night.

Yes. Right on that porch.

Sitting right there. Just the two of us.
We were talking about words.

Some of the words
and how beautiful they are.

[CHUCKLES]
No.

Millie? Oh, it can't be.

Not my little niece, Millie Cox. Oh!

- Just look a little harder.
- Oh, Lord, it is you. Millie. Oh!

[BOTH LAUGH]

Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh, iust look at you.
Just look at you.

You're more blossomed out than
that skinny little thing that left here.

And you're even prettier,
Aunt Bessie.

[LAUGHS]
Oh.

Oh.

lt's so good.

Baby, it's so good to see you again.

Oh, baby.

When l heard you'd left for Europe,

l thought
l'd never see you again, Millie.

Well, l was away for quite awhile,
but l'm back now.

My name is now Dominique.

- Dominique?
- Mm-hm.

That is elegant.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Oh, come on in, come on in.

Are you sure
you're that skinny little thing

that used to run up
these stairs and say to me,

''Aunt Bessie, if you're cooking
chicken, can l have the drumstick?''

Ha-ha-ha. Oh, why didn't you
tell me you were coming?

That second bedroom is a mess.

l'll help you clean it,
and then l'm going to spend the night.

- But first, Aunt Bessie.
- Mm-hm.

l have something
vey important l have to do,

- and l'm going to need your help.
- My help? How? Sure.

My mother's trunk.

Oh, it's still here.

Good.

Hello.

Hello, mother.

[SIGHS]

[CRYING]

Oh, he's iust a little bit nervous.
Come on, honey.

No?

You don't want anything?

Okay. You're the boss today.

He should be hungrier than he is.

No, it's okay. He's really fine, babe.

- He looks flushed.
CLAUDIA: No, he's not.

[PHONE RINGS]

l thought he felt a little warm before,
so l took his temperature.

But he doesn't have a fever.
He's fine.

Excuse me, Mr. Carrington,
there's a telephone call for you

from Los Angeles.

Sammy Jo.

You sound as if you were
expecting me to call, Steven.

Let's iust say it's no surprise.

We're iust glad
to have Danny back with us.

- Where he belongs?
- That's right.

ln the big mansion which may not
belong to the Carringtons much longer.

Well, enioy the mansion
and the kid for as long as you can.

That goes for all of you.
Including your rotten brother, Adam.

Because l'm not finished
with this yet.

ln fact...

l'm really not finished with this yet.

l came to this house, frankly,
a vey frightened woman.

And each of you went out
of your way to help me adjust

by your kindness
and your understanding.

Which makes it
all the more difficult for me

to ask you to understand now why
we have to let you go, temporarily.

Gerard will give you each a cheque

covering your salaries
for the ne_ month.

l hope with all my heart
that you'll be back with us soon.

Thank you and God bless you.

Kystle, why did you do it?

l iust talked to the gardener.
Why did you fire those people?

[SIGHS]

Blake, one night some time ago,
in front of those people,

you told them
that it was Mrs. Carrington

who ran this house and no one else.

Well, l did what l had to do,
at least for the time being.

We still have Mrs. Gunnerson
and Jeannette and--

Mr. Carrington, excuse me, sir.

- There's someone here to see you.
- Who is it?

A Dominique Deveraux.
She says you've met.

Send her away, please. Tell her
we're not receiving any guests.

She iust wants a word, sir.
She wishes to pay her respects.

All right, all right. Send her in.

Thank you for allowing me this visit.

l know that you've had
a vey hard time of it.

But l've had a hard time too.

Miss Deveraux,
may l ask why you're here?

Because l feel
as if l've suffered a loss as well.

Exactly what kind of a loss?

Let's iust say that l feel as l do
because we have so much in common.

Such as what?

Our blood.

Our genes.

Our daddy.

Well, Adam, it's about time.
And do come into my parlour.

ADAM:
Caviar? Champagne?

What's this all about?

Well, l asked for a few
creature comforts for my sanity.

This is not exactly The Ritz,
and the food is appalling.

- l see. You've acquired a friend in here.
- Mm-hm.

Well, l'm afraid your newly acquired
friend has just been fired.

Oh.

So much for creature comforts.

l've written a few messages.
l want you to deliver them for me.

l didn't come
to talk about messages.

l came to talk
about Michael Cunningham.

Who is Michael Cunningham?

[LAUGHS]

You're gonna find out, Mother,
in exactly two weeks, at your trial.

Cunningham is a deputy
district attorney.

He's the fastest runner on the block.

And he's running right now
to blow us both into the gutter.

And this kind of privilege for a price

is not going to look good
when he finds out about it.

Especially if that despicable
Philip Whatever-His-Name-ls

writes about it in his tawdy column.

lt's Philip Spalding,

and it's an exceedingly
widely read column.

Well, l don't care about him
or his rotten column.

l care, Mother.

l care a lot

about 12 men and women
who'll be sitting in that juy box

deciding whether you're innocent
or guilty,

whether you should live or die.

l do care, Adam, and l'm frightened.
l care about eveything that happens.

But l know that
when you've finished your defence

that that iuy is going to realise
that l am not guilty.

They will,

because we have the truth on our side,
and l know what l'm doing.

But l know you, Mother.

And l know one reason
why you asked me to defend you

was because you thought
you could control me,

that l'd do whatever you wanted.

J
Well

l am serving notice right now

that l intend to conduct your defence
my way.

Adam, l may occasionally offer
a suggestion or two.

My way.

Of course, darling. Of course.

STEVEN:
What are you doing up?

KRYSTLE: Oh, l went down
to the kitchen to get a glass of milk,

heard someone in the poolroom
and thought l'd poke my nose in.

You know, Steven,

you were my first friend
when l moved into this house.

You never made me feel less
because l worked for Blake

or had no money.

You were always here
if l needed someone to talk to.

And l want you to know that l'm here
if you need someone to talk to.

There's really nothing to talk about.

Are you sure?

l've tried, Kystle.

l've tried so hard
to wipe it out of my mind.

Steven, whatever it is,
you're in a lot of pain.

Why don't you talk to me about it?
You can trust me, you know that.

l saw Mark Jennings' killer.

- What?
- l know who killed Mark Jennings.

On the night he was murdered,
l was on my way home from the office

to change
for Fallon's engagement party

when l remembered some papers
l was supposed to leave

for my mother's signature.

So l drove to the hotel
to bring them to her.

l got there.

As l was getting out of the car,

l heard a scrgam,
and l saw a body falling.

l looked up.

What did you see?

Nothing.
It was too dark to see anything.

There was someone else
on the terrace, wasn't there?

- No.
- Someone you knew.

- No.
- Someone you even love.

Steven, this is torturing you.
You've got to talk about it.

- Let's iust forget about it, okay?
- No, it's not okay.

Mark had a lot of people
who didn't like him,

some who even hated him.
Alexis, Fallon...

l didn't say l saw a woman.

Are you saying you saw Jeff
or Blake?

Look, Kystle, l want you to forget
whatever l have told you.

Please.

You said it, we're friends,
and friends don't betray each other.

So please, please.

This talk didn't take place.

Because if you tell anybody it did,
l'll deny it.

[PIANO PLAYING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Blake. Come in.

l knew that l would be seeing you,
but this is a surprise.

l didn't know
l would be seeing you so soon.

You come to my house
this afternoon,

you tell me you're a Carrington
by blood, that you have proof of that,

and then you turn and walk out.

And you're surprised that l'm here?

Who are you? Really.

My married name
is Mrs. Brady Lloyd.

My professional name
is Dominique Deveraux.

l was born Millie Cox.

- Does that sound familiar to you?
- No, it isn't.

Well, it is to your father.

Tom Carrington philandered
with women all over Colorado,

including a beautiful, young
seamstress named Laura.

My mother.

- Are you implying--?
- To imply is to suggest.

And l'm making a statement, Blake.

Tom Carrington is your father
and mine.

Miss Deveraux,
this proof that you told me about.

- Is it a birth certificate?
- Hardly.

That piece of paper
simply lists the father as unknown.

And it screams to the world
that l was born illegitimate.

Then what is the proof?

New Orleans, Kansas City.

Those were your father's
favourite cities for fun, is that right?

Yes, l suppose so.

These are postcards that he sent
to my mother from those cities.

Different years
but similar messages.

''Missing you terribly, sweetheart.''

''Can't wait to see you again,
darling.''

These all happen to be unsigned.

But they are all in his handwriting.
Or have you forgotten his handwriting?

Did you want to forget?

You know, l've done a lot of reading
about you over the years, Blake.

lnterviews

in which l've noticed
you never mention your father.

Why did you wait all this time
to come to Denver to tell me this?

Do you think l'm a liar, a fraud?

No, l think you have a vey imaginative
and calculating mind.

l have a vey good mind, Blake.

And l have your patience, Blake.
l can wait.

ln business deals or othemise,
wait until the right time.

And now is the time for me
to get you to finally acknowledge

that l am your sister.

Well, l must go, Miss Deveraux.

Oh. You may need these.

Oh, you may have those, Blake.
l have others.

[MARK SCREAMS]

CLAUDIA:
Steven.

Steven.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Oh, what do you mean nothing?
You're all knots.

You haven't really talked to me,
not in days.

Claudia, you know what l went through
with Sammy Jo taking Danny.

Of course l know
what you went through.

But he's back here now with us.
He's safe.

You know, l think this change in you,

l think it began the moment that Alexis
was arrested for killing Mark Jennings.

Alexis happens to be my mother.

A son feeling for his mother
and the hell she's going through.

ls that so strange? Is it?

No, darling, it's not strange,
but just let out what you're feeling.

Don't ty and hide them inside.

Claudia, l don't wanna talk tonight.

l iust wanna be with you.

Steven, you can't use sex
to block out your feelings.

- You can't block it--
- l don't wanna talk, Claudia.

REPORTER 1 : Mrs. Colby, is it true
that you've asked for a change of venue

and the court's denied it?

REPORTER 2: What about
your escape attempt to Caracas?

l'm Philip Spalding.

Word has it that Colbyco has become
a foundering ship these past weeks.

Any comment, Mrs. Colby?

Mr. Spalding,

your sick and self-serving vendetta
against me had better stop.

Do you understand? Adam.

l want you to file a suit against
this man and that rag he works for.

And l want you to know that
evey time you do this sort of thing,

you're helping to put yourself away.

- Mrs. Colby, do you...?
MAN: Please.

Counsellor.

Your mother and client
had Warren Ballard,

one of the vey best
criminal-trial lamers in the county.

- What happened, Carrington?
- Obviously, she has more faith in me.

With your trial experience,

l'm surprised
you even found the courthouse.

lf l had to choose

between gamesmanship
and intellect, Cunningham,

l'd choose intellect.

[CUNNINGHAM SCOFFS]

Have you heard anything from Dex?

He called from Wyoming.
He'll be back in a day or two.

Oh, good.

Oh, Steven, darling,
it's wonde_ul of you to be here.

l had to be here with you, Mother.

- Yes, but who's watching the store?
- There are phones in the corridor.

l'll be in constant touch with the office,
so don't wory, okay?

Okay.

BAILIFF:
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.

Court Number 23 of the district court,

City and County of Denver,
State of Colorado,

is now ready and open
for the transaction of business.

The Honourable Drew Ma_ield,
judge presiding.

Docket number 84-CR-3026-23,

The People ofthe State of Colorado
v. Alexis Colby.

The people will show that the accused
had motive and opportunity.

The people will show
that the accused

is a woman given to outbursts
of violent and physical anger.

A woman so powe_ul and so rich
that she believes in her corrupt heart

that she is above the law
which governs the rest of us.

mHISPERING]

But she is not.

Ladies and gentlemen of the iuy,

after you hear the testimony
in this case,

you will be left with no alternative

but to return a verdict
of guilty of murder in the first degree

of one Mark Jennings.

Jennings, an opportunist.

Jennings,
who hurt many people in his time,

each one of whom could have
been said to have had a motive

for wanting his death.

l will prove that that person
is not the woman you see here

in this courtroom.

And l will prove that this case,
this entire case, is a mockey,

a mockey based purely
on circumstantial evidence.

And l will further prove
that there is reason and ample reason

for doubting all of that evidence.

J
And that doubt

which Anglo-American law
has termed ''reasonable doubt ''

is what must make you find
this defendant innocent of all charges.

l know Alexis Colby.

And l know that the evidence will prove
that she killed no one.

And l know that each of you,
each of you good and fair people,

will be convinced of that
before this trial is over.

l thank you.

The iuy really looked impressed.
l think Adam's gonna get her off.

Listen, you take the car.

l've gotta make a phone call,
and l'll take a cab to the office.

MA�TRE D':
Table for four.

Why did you invite me here tonight?

Well, let's iust say l wanted
to make a friend inside the castle.

Cheers.

Here's to you, to me,
and to the king, Blake.

My husband's been hurt enough.

His mighty empire dwindling?

His daughter's death.

l don't want to see him hurt again.

What makes you think
l want to hurt him?

Because l think
you want something from him.

And you seem to be a woman

who stops at nothing
to get what you want.

l am a determined woman, Kystle.
l can be ruthless.

But l have never hurt anyone
unless he or she deserves to be hurt.

lt is nice, though. Refreshing.

What is?

To see that my brother is married to
someone who really cares about him.

The beautiful lioness
protecting her mate while he rests.

Even though in this particular case,
it's enforced rest.

l like you, Kystle, l do.

l wish we could be friends.

How can we be?

l don't trust you.

Well, that's honest.
Let me be as honest.

We have much in common,
the two of us.

You, the American dream girl,

the stenographer from Dayton, Ohio,
who set her sights big,

and she made it big, all right.

Became a Carrington.

Well, l am a bastard
who started with nothing,

and l made a fortune.

And damn it, l am going to be accepted
as a Carrington too.

My father never acknowledged me,
and he never will.

Someone is going to.

Soon.

Oh, God, you're so beautiful.

Oh, God. God, l love you.

Oh, Fallon.

Who the hell is Fallon?

- What?
- Who is Fallon?

Somebody l knew when l was a kid.

And when you grew up,
you married her?

- Look, that has nothing to do with us.
- Hey, Jeff Colby. My name is Amy.

And Amy is not your therapist.

So if you still have a thing
for your wife,

don't work it out with me in bed.

Tell it to your shrink.

Look, l don't have a thing
for that woman.

The only feeling l have
is one of disgust with myself

for wasting my time on her.

We were gonna get married, big plans.
She ends up running off with this guy,

leaving me and dying with him,
that garbage.

Jeff, do you wanna
know something?

l really don't enioy
entertaining drunks.

So why don't you iust get dressed
and leave?

l mean that.

l'm gonna take a shower,

and when l come back,
l don't wanna see you.

JEFF:
Hello, Steven.

Sory about that, l...

- l hope it wasn't a Ming.
- Where have you been, Jeff?

l went to a movie.

lt was a vey bad film.

They sure don't make films
the way they used to.

Where are Harpo and Groucho
when you really need them?

And after the movie, you went out
and got drunk, didn't you?

Listen, getting drunk is no way
to deal with Fallon's death.

Get out of my way.

No, not yet.

What are we gonna do?
Talk about Fallon?

Yeah, l think we should.

Oh, we're gonna
mourn her death together?

You mourn in your way, pal.

l don't have much to grieve over,
do l?

When are you gonna admit to yourself
what kind of a girl your sister was?

She was a tramp.

[GRUNTS]

My problem is l'm drunk.

l don't know what yours is.

How long are you gonna go on
denying what your sister really did?

How long?

MAN [ON TM: rwo witnesses
for the prosecution testified

in the Alexis Colby trial
this morning.

The first was Dr. Howell Simms,
a county medical examiner.

Simms told
Deputy District Attorney Cunningham

that Ma_ Jennings was vey drunk
at the time of his death,

drunk enough so that even a woman
nearly half his weight

could have pushed him
over the side of a terrace.

On cross-examination,
Adam Carrington asked Dr. Simms

if Jennings was drunk enough
to have fallen by himself,

or, if he'd been pushed, could a child
have pushed him in his condition?

The answer was yes.

[ON TM rhe next witness was
Sergeant Cooper ofthe Denver Police.

He told Cunningham

that he suspected Mrs. Colby
ofthe murder

when he discovered
that Ma_ Jennings

had deposited a cheque
in his account

for $1 OO,OOO
on the day of his death.

The cheque was signed
by Alexis Colby.

ln response to the question

''Did you discover why the accused
gave Mr. Jennings the money?''

Cooper answered,
''He was apparently blackmailing her.''

On cross-examination,

Adam Carrington did not penetrate
the police officers testimony.

The court is now in r_ess,

and the first witness
ofthe a_ernoon session

will be Miss Dina Hartley.

Miss Hartley, will you tell the court
and juy where you reside?

My address is 131 Camden Street.

ls that directly across the street

from where the accused,
Alexis Colby, lives?

Yes, it is.

On which floor of your building
do you live, Miss Hartley?

The top floor, the east penthouse.

And does that penthouse
directly face Mrs. Colby's?

lt does.

Tell us, Miss Hartley,

are you able to see
Mrs. Colby's terrace from yours?

l'm able to see it,
but l don't make a habit of looking at it.

l value my privacy
and the rights of others to their privacy.

CUNNINGHAM:
Of course.

Now, on the evening Mark Jennings
was pushed

from that terrace to his death--

Obiection. It has not been established
that the deceased was pushed.

He might have fallen.

lt's also not been established
that he was even on that terrace.

Obiection sustained.

Rephrase your question,
Mr. Cunningham.

Miss Hartley, on the evening
of Mark Jennings' death,

will you tell us exactly
what you were doing

and precisely what you saw?

HARTLEY:
l was giving a cocMail party.

At one point during the party,
l glanced at the Colby terrace

and saw Mr. Jennings standing there,
holding a drink.

Was Mr. Jennings alone
on the terrace, Miss Hartley?

No, he was not.

She didn't tell you this
when you interviewed her, did she?

No, she did not.
Let's see where he's going.

Who was the deceased with?
Can you tell us that?

He was with someone.

Was that someone Mrs. Colby,
the accused?

HARTLEY:
l couldn't tell.

l didn't glance over long enough.
But it could have been a woman.

- What is she tying to do to me?
- Mother.

She never said anything
about another person, a woman.

Order. Mrs. Colby,
l will tolerate no further disruptions.

What are you tying
to do to me, liar?

Mother, sit down.

ALEXIS :
l insist that you move for dismissal.

- l can't do that, there are no grounds.
ALEXIS: Then you must make grounds.

- Your Honour--
- This woman is lying.

l respectfully request a recess
so l can confer with my client.

All right, this court is in recess
for 20 minutes.

Why do you insist
on behaving like that?

lt's pure self-destruction.

Well, from now on,
you're on your own, Mother.

l'm going to withdraw.

- You don't mean that.
- As a matter of fact, l do.

Adam, you can't leave.

Look, l don't know what came over me
in the courtroom just now,

but l'm sory.

Look, Adam, l need your help, l do.

l will not accept a casual ''l'm sory.''

l will not accept a vulnerable
but short-lived ''Help me.''

Either you listen to me, Mother,
or l go.

- Is that understood?
- Yes.

Yes, darling.

Oh, you're such a brilliant attorney.

l know you're gonna win
this case for me.

You are.

l know you are.

Saudi Arabia?
When is he expected back?

l see. All right, thank you.

Well, iust tell him that l called,

and l'll be waiting to hear from him
when he does get back.

Bye.

Blake, you can't go on like this
24 hours a day.

l am fighting for my life,

and l'm going to keep on like this
until l have to stop.

l have got to come up
with some money.

Kystle, are you feeling all right?

Yes, l'm fine.

What is it
that's been bothering you lately?

You've got something on your mind,
haven't you?

- l don't understand what you mean.
- Is there something wrong?

[SIGHS]

No, nothing.

Come on, now. l know you.
l know when you're upset.

ls it something that l have done?

ls it the baby?

Darling, the baby and l are fine.
It's nothing, really.

GERARD: Excuse me, Mr. Carrington,
there's a gentleman here to see you.

He's from the sheriffs office.

Well, send him in, please, Gerard.

Sheriffs office?

Good evening.

- Mr. Blake Carrington?
- Yes.

- This is for you, sir.
- Thank you.

What the devil is this all about?

What is it, Blake?

l've been subpoenaed
to testify against Alexis.

CLERK: Do you solemnly swear the
testimony you will give before this court

shall be the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,

- so help you God?
- l do.

Mr. Carrington, please tell us about
your relationship with the accused.

BLAKE: Alexis Colby and l
were married at one time.

- How long were you married?
- Nine years.

Nine years.
And then you were divorced,

and it was you
who initiated the divorce proceedings,

is that correct?

Yes.

May l have People's 2, please?

Ladies and gentlemen,

what l hold here
is a copy of the divorce papers

filed by Blake Carrington
against the then Alexis Carrington.

l also hold this,

oh, l'd say about 2 pounds'
worth of newspaper clippings

relating to their marriage,

and which might be described
in a journalistic nutshell

as ''the Battling Carringtons.''

ADAM: Your Honour, l obiect
to the admission of this evidence.

lt's probative value is outweighed
by the danger of undue prejudice.

And furthermore, it's completely
irrelevant to these proceedings.

l'm going to have to overrule you,
Mr. Carrington.

Go on, Mr. Cunningham.

Sir, l've done some careful reading,

and l found that one of the complaints
against your wife

concerned a certain evening
you spent together with friends

at the Round Rock County Club.

Do you remember that evening?

Yes, yes, l do.

Will you tell the court about it?

BLAKE :
Oh, it was at a dinner party.

l said something, l forget what.

Something that Alexis
didn't approve of.

And so, what happened?

Well, she--
She had had a little too much to drink.

Just answer the question,
Mr. Carrington.

- What happened?
- She began to shout at me.

- And did she reach for something?
- Yes.

What was it she reached for?

A knife.

[PEOPLE MURMURING]

CUNNINGHAM:
A knife. What happened then?

- She shouted, ''l'll kill you.''
CUNNINGHAM: ''l'll kill you.''

''Kill'' as in the commission
of a violent act.

ls that correct, Mr. Carrington?

Yes.

Mr. Carrington,

Alexis Carrington Colby
stands accused of the act of murder.

Do you think she's capable
of that sort of violence?

Yes. If provoked enough, yes.

No further questions, Your Honour.

Several years ago, sir,

you were accused and convicted
of a violent crime, of killing a man.

- Is that true?
BLAKE: Yes.

Do you feel that conviction
was justified?

No. l said it then and l'll say it now.
It was an accident.

ADAM: So then in your own
vey personal experience,

mistakes have been made,

indeed, terrible miscarriages
ofjustice have occurred,

based on false accusations.

- Is that correct?
- Yes, that's correct.

l'd like to speak for a few minutes
about People's 1 ,

a cheque for $100,OOO.

Obiection, Your Honour.

This is cross-examination.

Counsel's going beyond the scope
of direct examination.

Your Honour, l will show
that there is a relationship

between this cheque
and two of the key words in this trial:

violence and motive.

Obiection overruled.

ADAM:
The prosecution contends

that Alexis Colby was blackmailed
by Mark Jennings,

that she gave him this money,
this cheque,

to buy his silence about her bribe
to one Rashid Ahmed,

and that she then killed Jennings.

Sir, from whom would she want
to be hiding this information?

- The United States Government?
- No.

No, the bribe took place
outside the county.

l'm the one she would have wanted
to keep that information from.

Why? What would you have done?
Murdered her?

- Of course not.
- Taken her to court?

There was no case.

Would you have been angy
nonetheless?

- Yes.
- How angy?

- Vey angy.
- Angy enough to have it out with her?

lf what you're talking about is
''Would there have been shouting? ''

yes, there would've been
quite a bit of shouting.

ADAM:
So then in fact,

Mark Jennings had no hold
whatsoever over Alexis Colby.

ln fact, she had nothing to fear
from anyone

except a heated verbal confrontation
with you?

- Is that true?
- Yes.

ADAM:
Mr. Carrington, would you tell the court

how much $1 OO,OOO is worth
to a woman of Alexis Colby's wealth?

Vey little.

ADAM:
So if the money meant nothing

and she had nothing to fear
from Jennings,

why would she kill him?

Would you say she had a motive?

l'd have to say
that she had no motive.

[PEOPLE MURMURING]

ADAM:
No motive.

l have no further questions.
Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Carrington.
You may step down.

Thank you, Mother.

Blake, thank you for helping
to convince the juy of my innocence.

Oh, Dex.

Oh, Dex, l've missed you.
Oh, how l've missed you.

On the other hand,
l hardly gave you a passing thought,

except for practically
evey waking moment.

How are you?

lf you'd asked me a couple days ago,

l'd have said miserable,
absolutely miserable.

But now l feel wonde_ul.

You know, l think that things
are finally going well for me.

l know, l heard about the testimony
on the car radio this afternoon.

You know, Blake Carrington may be
a lot of things in your book, but...

- He's an honest man?
- He is.

Mm. l'll give him that,
but right now l'd rather talk about us.

About the future, about our future,
after l'm acquitted.

Dex, let's go on a long trip
somewhere, all right?

All right.

Somewhere wonde_ully romantic,
like Acapulco or Tahiti.

Somewhere wonde_ully romantic

with lots of sun and blue-green water
and gorgeous food,

and we can forget about eveything
and eveyone but us.

Well, l'd settle for a motel
right here in Denver.

But if you wanna travel,

l'll take you to the end of the Earth.

Mrs. Colby, let's go. Your time is up.

l love you, Alexis.

l love you, Dex.

You were vey quiet
at dinner tonight.

- Was l?
- Yes.

Are you angy with me

because l told the truth
in court today?

Darling, you know how l feel
about Alexis,

but l had to tell the truth.

l iust feel...

What?

Well, that you probably
will help Alexis get off.

You think she's guilty.

l don't know, l... l can't be sure, but...

But what?

The police have arrested her.
The state is prosecuting her.

And a iuy of 12 men and women
have taken time off

from their iobs and their families
to listen to this case.

And they're not all going through this
because they have nothing better to.

Besides, Alexis was in that apartment
when Mark fell from the terrace.

And who'd be more likely
to have pushed him?

Now, all that is for the iuy to decide.

Now, you're passing iudgement
on another human being.

That's not like you.

But it is like her never to be punished
for what she does.

She killed our baby.

By firing that rifle,
she killed the child inside of me.

And she never paid for that.

She's tying to ruin you in business.
She is guilty of that, isn't she?

And she's hurt so many people
in so many ways,

but somehow, somehow,
she always gets away with it.

l iust have a terrible feeling
that if she is guilty of killing Mark,

she'll probably get away
with that too.

[MARK SCREAMS]

Steven.

What are you doing?

l'm gonna get dressed
and get out of here.

l need some air.

l need to breathe.

- Steven.
- Hello, Mother.

lt's the crack of dawn.
Has anything happened to Danny?

No, he's fine, he's safe.
He's home sleeping.

- Oh.
- l couldn't sleep, though, so l...

l drove around most of the night.

And then you came here. Why?

To see you.

To be with you for a few minutes,
to tell you how much l love you.

Oh. l know that, darling.
l've always known that.

l also want you to know
that whatever happens,

nothing will ever change
that love for you.

Oh. My son.

Oh, my beautiful son.

From the moment that you were born,
when l first held you in my arms

and touched your little hand,

we've always been so close,
so vey close.

l know you're worried about me,
Steven, but...

But l want you to know
l'm gonna win.

l'm going to get out of this place,
and l'm going to be free.

And then...

Then the two of us
can celebrate together.

You'll come up to the apartment
and l'll do the unheard of.

That being?

Heh, heh. l'll cook dinner.

[CHUCKLES]

- You? No.
- Yes.

l'm gonna fix you
your favourite meal,

the one that when you were little,
you used to say to me:

''Mommy,
l want you to cook it tonight.''

Bet you don't remember
what that was.

l do. Franks and beans.

That's right.

And a pot of tea.
About all l could manage.

So is it a dinner date?

lt's a date.

Good.

Steven,

l want you to know

that l really appreciate you
coming over here this morning

and being so concerned about me.

l'll never forget it.

l'm a vey lucky woman
to have such a wonde_ul son.

REPORTER 1 :
Do you think your son Adam

is doing a good iob as your attorney?

Ah, Mr. Spalding.

Did you happen to see the stock
exchange opening this morning?

Colbyco up, but iust one point.

Yes, a new field has iust come in.

l wouldn't be surprised if the stock
doesn't jump to an all-time high soon.

Mother, let's go.

REPORTER 2:
Mrs. Colby, your reaction

to your ex-husband's testimony?

All rise.

Mr. Cunningham,
are you ready to rest your case?

No, Your Honour.

The state has a final witness.

We call Steven Daniel Carrington.

mHISPERING]
Oh, my God.

CUNNINGHAM:
l repeat:

The state of Colorado
calls Steven Daniel Carrington

to testify in the trial of Alexis Colby.

Oh, why has Steven been called
as a witness against me?

lf he had something to say,
why didn't he come tell me?

l don't know.

Alexis,

there is no way you'll ever be punished
for something you didn't do.

Punished?

l've already been punished enough,
Dex.

Where's Mark Jennings' real killer?

He's out there somewhere
watching me suffer.

- Blake.
- Yes, darling.

Where are you going?

l'm on my way
to the bank to see Avril Dawson.

lt never fails, it happens all at once.
l just got a call.

Our biggest field, Carrington One,
is dying up.

That's terrible.

l'm gonna have to find enough money
to get our other fields operational

before our cash flow dries up.

And the mortgage,
which Alexis holds on this house,

is due the day after tomorrow.

Blake,
Steven's been called to testify.

Testify about what?

Against Alexis.

Why?

He saw what happened that night.

And you knew about it?

Yes, he told me.

That's what's been troubling you.

Why didn't Steven come to me?

Why didn't you come to me
and tell me that?

Well, he made me promise
not to tell anyone.

And l had to keep that promise.

Now they're gonna force him
to crucify his own mother.

WOMAN: Be a man, come back here.
- Truce, please.

WOMAN: Come back here. Ha, ha.
- No.

Truce. Now, time out.

Time out. Time out, all right?

Jeff, l've been looking for you.

Well, l like to get my exercise early.

l thought maybe
we could have lunch together.

Maybe something in my suite?

Sory, but l'm tied up for lunch.

You should stay away
from junk food.

Well, how about dinner?

l can't.

l shouldn't.

But l'll call you
when l get back from Barbados.

You really keep the turnstile whirling,
Jeff Colby, don't you?

What do you mean?

Well, l never knew you when you
were married to Fallon Carrington.

l was away at college.

But if you carried on like this,
it's no wonder she divorced you.

Strangely enough,

l think she divorced me
because l didn't cary on like this.

lt seems to me
she preferred a man who did.

MAN [ON RADlO]: _ new turn in
the much publicised murder trial

of wealthy Denver businesswoman
Alexis Colby.

This a Fternoon her son,
Steven Carrington,

has been called by the prosecution

and speculation runs high
regarding the testimony

that this surprise witness
will offer against his mother.

Cunningham, what the hell
do you mean calling my brother

a surprise witness
for the prosecution?

Mr. Carrington, you'll conduct yourself
in here during this recess

with the same decorum
and respect for the bench

that l demand in my courtroom.

Thank you.

Your Honour,

information was received by my office
today while court was in session,

placing Steven Carrington
at the scene of the crime

when Mark Jennings
was pushed to his death.

Now this information contained facts
which were never disclosed publicly,

facts which only someone present
that night could know.

The State wants to know
from Steven Carrington

exactly what he saw.

ADAM:
Your Honour, this is incredible.

The defence has been given no time
to question this witness.

Neither has the State, Your Honour.

The iuy deserves
to hear this testimony.

l agree.

Gentlemen,
this trial will resume as scheduled.

CUNNINGHAM:
Mr. Carrington.

May l call you Steven?

Where were you the night
that Mark Jennings died?

At my sister Fallon's
engagement party.

CUNNINGHAM: That was a vey big
night for the family, wasn't it?

Eveyone was there,
including the accused, your mother.

Yes, the whole family was there.

Steven, where were you
before arriving at the party?

At my office.

l had some business to handle
at Colbyco, so l was a little late.

Between working late at Colbyco
and attending the party,

were you anmhere in the vicinity
of Alexis Colby's hotel that night?

Steven.

Were you at Alexis Colby's hotel
the night Mark Jennings died?

l was, yes.

[CROWD MURMURING]

- Did he tell you that?
- No, he did not, he never mentioned it.

Now, would you please tell the court
and the juy why you were there?

l had some papers
for my mother to sign.

So your mother signed the papers
and you went off to the party together?

And of course
you can produce these papers?

l never gave her the papers.

Why not?

l never gave her the papers because
l couldn't go into the hotel af--

After what?

After seeing Mark Jennings
fall to his death?

Obiection.

The Deputy District Attorney
is leading the witness.

Overruled.

Answer the question,
Mr. Carrington.

l saw a man fall into the street.

[CROWD MURMURING]

[GAVEL BANGING]

From where
did you see this man fall?

From my mother's terrace.

Quiet.

So you saw a man fall from
your mother's terrace to the street.

Steven, you didn't know
whether he was alive or dead,

and you left him there?

You didn't phone the paramedics,
you didn't offer any help?

You iust went off calmly
partying into the night?

l did call the paramedics
but l didn't identify myself.

l left.

CUNNINGHAM:
Why?

Because you didn't care
if this man died?

No.

Because he didn't fall.

Because you saw someone
push Mark Jennings.

Obiection. Leading the witness.

Overruled.

Answer the question,
Mr. Carrington.

Yes, because l saw somebody
push Mark Jennings.

[CROWD MURMURING]

Who did you see?

l saw my mother.

[CROWD GASP]

lt's a lie.

[CROWD MURMURING]

[GAVEL BANGING]

JUDGE:
Order in the court.

l didn't do it.

Steven, how could you do this to me?
l'm your mother.

JUDGE:
Quiet.

ADAM: The prosecution has painted
you as a loving son.

lsn't it true, that since beginning work
at Colbyco, you've had your...

Well, shall we say,
your differences with your employer?

Your mother,
the defendant, Alexis Colby?

Some differences of opinion, yes.

Hasn't the defendant continually
promised you authority in Colbyco

only to snatch it away?

Constantly undermining your position,
ignoring your advice,

overriding your opinion,
in short, humiliating you?

Obiection, Your Honour.

- Badgering the witness.
- Sustained.

Mr. Carrington, l've warned you
about excesses in my courtroom.

l don't wanna have to do it again.

Vey well, Your Honour.

lsn't it true that by securing
the conviction of Alexis Colby

through your testimony,
perjured or not,

you stand to gain total and complete
control of Colbyco for yourself?

No. That is a damned lie.

The defence is finished
with this witness.

JUDGE:
Mr. Cunningham.

Redirect?

Oh, yes, Your Honour.

Steven, do you love your mother?

Yes, l do. Vey much.

Then could you possibly ever testify
as you have done

if you were not absolutely certain,

if you were not driven by the truth,

by facts that you yourself, Steven,
observed?

l'm sure of what l saw.

CUNNINGHAM:
Good.

Now, will you describe, Steven,

for the court and for the iuy

the woman that you saw
push Mark Jennings off the terrace?

lt was my mother.

Yes.

Yes, l know.

But what was it that made you certain
it was your mother

and not iust some other woman?

Because l know my mother.

- Her hair.
- And what else, Steven?

And her dress.

Specially made for Fallon's party.

lt had been delivered
to the office that afternoon.

lt was a black, beaded dress
with a matching black cape.

The same dress she wore
to the party?

Yes.

The vey same dress you saw
from the street below

as you watched Mark Jennings
fall screaming to his death?

Yes.

[CROWD MURMURING]

[GAVEL BANGING]

What do you want? Forgiveness?

l iust wanna hear the truth.
From you.

You don't want the truth,
you want vindication.

You want me to confess,
so you can sleep at night.

Mother, l saw you on the terrace.

No, you did not.

l don't know what you saw in your
warped hallucinations about me.

But l did not kill Mark.

Oh, Steven, l would expect this
from my enemies,

but from you, of all people.

l loved you.

l accepted your gay lifestyle

when the rest of the family
turned their backs on you.

lncluding your father.

Well, you can crawl
right back to him now.

Because l disown you,
l no longer have a son named Steven.

J.J., relax.
Have some fresh tangerine juice.

You don't get enough of that in
New York, living on Scotch and coffee.

l wouldn't sign that paper.

Why not?

You got the price l wanted
for the casino in St. Martin?

And the club in Marbella.
You've done an excellent job.

Brady is going to explode
when he sees this.

Your husband
was in my New York offices,

nosing around the books.

And why would he be poking
around like that?

He is a large stockholder
in your company.

Maybe he's getting wise
to the fact

that you are making some
vey questionable transactions

involving some vey big bucks.

And you're concerned too, huh?

Maybe even commiserating
with Brady

about my e_ravagant
new business propositions, right?

Come on, Dominique, you know
l would never go behind your back.

But l'm warning you.

lf you wanna keep your husband.

l will handle Brady and l'll keep him.

And l'll get eveything else
l've always wanted.

MAN [ON RADlO]: roday,
multi-millionaire oilman Billy Waite

testified in Alexis Colby's defence.

Won't you have a seat?

l took the liberty of ordering a snack.

And l think this
is your favourite champagne.

And of course the caviar's Petrossian.
Would you like some?

Well, maybe l better save my answer
until l find out what this is all about.

Fifty million dollars?

Fifty million dollars from me.

Fifty-one percent
of Denver-Carrington from you.

lsn't that the answer
to all your problems?

No.

No?

Denver-Carrington has always been
a family-held corporation.

Yes, l agree.

A family-held corporation.

And l am family.

l thought this might convince you.

l am Denver-Carrington.

l control the company,
always have, always will.

And l wouldn't give 51 percent away
to anyone, for any amount.

Blake, this is my final offer.
One time and one time only.

Nice to see you again.

Forty percent of Denver-Carrington,
$70 million.

lt's a deal.

All right, now.

- Why?
- Why?

lt's iust business. l'm expanding.

l wanna get in on the ground floor
of a good, big oil deal

and you're the best.

You're gonna make me a fortune,
Blake.

That and what else?

What else?

To be a Carrington.

At any cost.

Here's to us.

Partner.

Well, what a surprise.

- Are you here to gloat, Blake?
- No, l'm here on business.

Twelve-point-two million dollars.

l believe that settles your mortgage
on my home.

Don't give me that, Blake.

You could have sent your lamer
with this cheque.

You're here for another reason,
aren't you?

Steven.

Yes.

Now, whether you pushed Jennings
or not,

you've got to think of our son,
Alexis.

lt's iust as agonising for him.

You must ty to forgive him,
for your sake as well as his.

Forgive?

l don't forgive my enemies, Blake.

Now you managed
to get out of the hole that l dug for you.

And l'm gonna get out of the hole
that's been dug for me

by you and Steven
and whomever else.

lt's not over yet, Blake. And it won't be
until l've repaid eveybody

for their treachey ten times over.

God help you, Alexis.

And God help all of you, Blake.

Blake, l don't understand.

Why would Adam
put me on the stand?

Ask me to testify for the defence?

He's her lamer,
he's just doing his job.

There must be something that you said
when he interviewed you

that made him believe
that you could establish

some sort of reasonable doubt
in the minds of the jurors.

When there's no doubt in my mind?

Blake, l believe Alexis is guilty.
l know Steven wouldn't lie.

- Blake, hello.
- Why, hello, Hal.

- l hope l'm not interrupting.
- No, no, not at all.

Darling, this is Hal Lombard,
an old business acquaintance of mine.

This is my wife, Kystle.

- A pleasure, Mrs. Carrington.
- Hello.

You mind if l ioin you
for a few minutes?

No. Fine.

Good,
because this particular Oklahoman

would like to lodge
a complaint with you, Blake.

Oh, what about?

Well, let me put it this way. Uh--

l ran into Billy Waite out in the airport
and he told me about your talks.

You know,
the South China Sea deal.

l don't mind telling you l'm a little hurt
that you never came to me about it.

lt's a high risk deal, Hal, and you, uh--

You like to cover your bets.

Oh, l do, l do,
but from what l've heard,

if this one ever pays off,
it's gonna be a jackpot.

lt is.

And what do you think,
Mrs. Carrington?

Oh, l know it is.

Well, maybe we should pursue this.

l mean,
when a vey beautiful woman

gives a proiect her blessing,
even though it is her husband's,

l'm swayable.

That is, if there's still room
for a good friend

who has some ready cash to spend.

l'll keep you in mind when
the ne_ big one comes along, Hal.

l can always find a way for a friend
to part with a little of his money.

Where are you staying?

With the Morrison's,
where l'd rather not be staying.

Oh, why not?

See, they have
these teenage grandchildren.

The grandchildren are visiting.

The grandchildren play loud music
on those portable squawk boxes

they cary with them
all day and half the night.

There's six of those little monsters.

But l don't want you to think
that this is my way of asking

if l can stay with you, folks,
for the ne_ few days.

Hal, how would you like to stay with us
for the ne_ few days?

l'll move my bags in tonight.

lf that's all right with you,
Mrs. Carrington.

Oh, of course it is.

Well, l'll iust do that then.

- See you both later.
- Right.

Well, he seems vey nice.

He's not.

He makes Billy Waite
Iook like an angel among angels.

Then why did you ask him
to stay at our house?

Well, this isn't social, darling.
This is business.

He happens to have a sizeable amount
of money, and l might need him.

Besides, as he said,
it's only for a couple of days.

ADAM:
Mrs. Carrington, you were at one time

married to the deceased,
Mark Jennings. Is that true?

KRYSTLE :
Yes, it is.

ADAM: A rather short-lived marriage.
- That's correct.

What is your present relationship
with the defendant, Alexis Colby?

We've had our differences.

l would call my relationship with her
often strained.

ADAM:
Would you describe

your last conversation
with Mark Jennings?

Well, l saw Mark a few hours
before his death.

He came to say goodbye.

He said he was leaving Denver,
probably for New York.

- Did he mention Alexis Colby?
- Yes.

What did he say?

KRYSTLE :
They weren't getting along.

Exactly how did he describe
Mrs. Colby?

KRYSTLE :
Well, he said she was a nuisance.

ADAM:
Just a nuisance?

That's rather a mild term for someone
the prosecution's been tying

to present as being as violent,
as vicious as Catherine de Medici.

Wouldn't you say?

That was Mark's word, not mine.

At any time at all,
did he indicate to you

that he was afraid of someone
or something?

That he was running for his life?

Well, he did say that he felt
as if he was on top of the world

and he knew someone who'd like
to push him off of that world.

Was there any hint of a threat
against his life?

A specific threat from Alexis Colby?

No.

JUDGE:
Mr. Cunningham, cross-examination?

CUNNINGHAM:
Mrs. Carrington.

lf Mark Jennings
were blackmailing Alexis Colby

and was indeed afraid for his life,
would he have confided in you?

Obiection. Calls for speculation.

The Deputy District Attorney
is asking this witness

to read the deceased's mind.

Sustained.

Withdrawn.
No further questions, Your Honour.

JUDGE: The witness is excused.
This court will reconvene at 2:OO.

BALIFF:
All rise.

l think Kystle's testimony
was just right.

Just enough to put doubt
in the minds of the juy.

She was simply superb,
a veritable angel from heaven.

l'm sure the iuy would have believed
her if she told them the sky was green.

She certainly didn't hurt you.

And for that l should be grateful?

No, you're right.

Had the situation been reversed
and l would have l taken the stand,

l could have had her burned
as a witch in less than three minutes.

No, she didn't do me any harm.
But did she do me any good?

lt's a slow building process, mother.
Reasonable doubt.

And they have Steven
as an eyewitness.

Yes.

l'm gonna call your houseman

and have him testify
that you were in the shower.

Also, l'm gonna take
the juy to your building

and have them iudge for themselves
whether anyone

standing on your terrace
could be identified from the street.

Adam, there's only one person
that you can call to the stand

to win this case.

The only one who knows the truth.

- Me.
- Absolutely not.

l won't let you do that to yourself.

You'll wreck eveything
l've built in that courtroom.

Mother, l'm tying to save your life

and l can't represent you if you insist
on destroying your own case.

- You can't?
- No.

Well, then, you leave me no choice.

You've done an excellent iob, Adam,

but l cannot win
unless l take the stand.

Oh, for God's sake, mother.
You'll hang yourself.

Adam, l do not intend to spend
the rest of my life in prison.

Now, l am going to win.

And if you're not with me,
you're against me.

And l'm firing you.

Mrs. Colby, l cannot caution you
strongly enough

against this perilous decision
to defend yourself.

l urge you, take advantage
of this opportunity to reconsider

and appoint a new attorney.

Judge Ma_ield,

l'm completely within my rights
to represent myself in this action.

l'm aware of the risks involved,

and l'm fully competent
to defend myself, and l shall.

l'll need no other counsel.

You're sure of that?

l'm absolutely sure.

Ladies and gentlemen.

l know that l must speak
directly to you

for the simple reason
that l alone know the truth

about what l did or did not do.

JUDGE:
Mrs. Colby.

Will you tell the court what happened
the night Mark Jennings died?

Yes. Ahem.

l was late
for my daughter's engagement party.

When l had come home,
l was in a rush.

Mark was there.

He was still employed
as my bodyguard,

and he was vey, vey drunk.

He insisted upon talking to me.

He wanted to tell me
that he didn't want to leave Denver.

He wanted to believe
that l still needed him.

l assured him that
that was not true.

And was there a quarrel?

No. Not a quarrel.

Mark...

Mark wanted to make love.

l told him that that relationship

had been over between us
for a long time.

l went upstairs
and l showered and changed.

When l came down, he had gone.

l assumed that he'd left.

My chauffeur then drove me
to the party

and soon after l arrived there, l...

l found out
what had happened to him.

Mrs. Colby, l congratulate you
on taking the stand.

l'm sure we all do.

And l must say that you present
a vey impressive witness

on your own behalf.

You dressed in a hury and left.

What did you wear, Mrs. Colby?

A black beaded dress.

A black beaded dress and a cape.

Both of which you had made
especially for the party?

No. No, l never wore the cape.

l found out at the last minute that
it hadn't delivered to my apartment.

l took a fur instead.

Then Steven Carrington couldn't have
seen you wearing that cape

on that terrace
pushing Mark Jennings to his death?

No.

l never wore the cape.

Eveyone at the party
could testify to that.

People's four.

Do you recognise this cape,
Mrs. Colby?

lt does have your initials inside.

This is the cape you intended to wear
to the party that night.

This is the cape Steven Carrington
described, or is it not?

Yes.

Yes, it is mine, but...

Can you explain why the police found
this cape stuffed in a garbage can

behind the apartment building
ne_ to your hotel?

No. l told you
it was never delivered to me.

Perhaps this tear was made
by Mark Jennings

in a last desperate attempt to grab this
as you pushed him from the terrace.

ls that true, Mrs. Colby?

No, that's not true.

Then you took this ripped cape

which you, of course,
could not wear in public,

and disposed of it
and went on to the party.

True, Mrs. Colby?

No. No.

Are we really to believe, Mrs. Colby,

that when you refused to go
to bed with Mark Jennings,

this athletic and well-built man
just crawled away without a whimper

especially after he had iust forced you
to pay him $100,OOO?

l gave him the money
to get out of town.

lt was my choice to give it to him.
He was becoming a nuisance.

So Mark Jennings
took your $1 OO,OOO

and then reneged on the bargain.

You paid him to leave.
He wasn't leaving.

Mrs. Colby, Mark Jennings
was in control, wasn't he?

No. Control?

He wasn't in control.
He was a liar and a cheat.

He was a hustler and a blackmailer.
He was beneath contempt.

Did he deserve to die?

Oh, yes, if anyone deserved to die,
he did.

[CROWD MURMURING]

JUDGE:
Quiet.

No further questions, Your Honour.

But l didn't kill him. l did not kill him!

JUDGE: Mrs. Colby.
ALEXIS: l did not.

JUDGE:
Order. Order.

Bailiff. Bailiff, restrain that woman.

[GAVEL BANGING]

MAN [ON TM:
And one of the most flamboyant trials

in the histoy of Denver

will come to a conclusion tomorrow
as Alexis Colby, in her own defence,

will present her summation to the juy
tying to defuse

the allegedly damaging testimony
of her son, Steven Carrington.

[TV TURNS OFF]

l can't believe Alexis
is defending herself, Blake.

What must Steven
be going through?

Ooh. Why stop?

- Felt good for both of us.
- How dare you!

Take it easy. No harm done.

- What do you think you're doing?
- You were feeling sory for Steven.

How about a little concern
for poor old far-from-home Hal?

Because l am lonely, Kystle.
l've got no place to go back to.

No, iust got divorced and the kids,
they're not speaking to me,

and she's out dating
another guy already and doesn't care.

- l need somebody to care.
- Get away from me.

l'm going upstairs.

l iust wish l could ioin you.

You seem
to have forgotten something.

l'm Blake's wife.

His incredibly beautiful wife.

His pregnant wife.

l don't care what business
you have with my husband,

l want you out of this house.

- Is that an order?
- Yes.

Blake might not approve.

l want you out of here.

lt's been a pleasure.

Heh, heh. Well, nearly.

Good evening, darling.
How was your day?

What's the matter?
Is there something wrong?

l iust threw Hal Lombard
out of the house.

- What happened?
- You're right, Blake.

He's not a vey nice man.

Yes, but you didn't tell me.
What happened?

He made a pass at me.

He did?

[SCOFFS]

Well, you mustn't take him
too seriously.

Hal Lombard is the kind of guy
who thinks his one mission in life

is to flatter evey beautiful woman
that's around.

Well, l don't find that flattering.
l find it offensive.

l'm sure that you put him
in his place.

l'll have a few well-chosen words
with him, anmay.

- l hope l never have to see him again.
- You won't.

l'll conduct all my business with him
from now on at the office, all right?

Are you saying you're still gonna
do business with him?

Of course.

l don't have the luxuy of choosing
the people l do business with.

And so ladies and gentlemen
of the juy,

the prosecution has proved
beyond any reasonable doubt

that we know the cold-blooded
murderer of Mark Jennings.

That person is Alexis Colby.

She had the motive,
she had the opportunity

and she had the capability.

The motive was blackmail.

The opportunity?

We established Alexis Colby
was in her penthouse

at the time of the murder.

lf any one of you

still has the slightest doubt
as to her guilt,

l ask only that you recall

the heart-wrenching
testimony of her son

reluctantly testifying
to the absolute guilt of his own mother

whom he loves.

There is only one conclusion.

lt is undeniable.

lt is supported by the evidence.

And now it is your duty,
under the law,

to render
that undeniable conclusion.

Alexis Colby is guilty of murder
in the first degree.

Ladies and gentlemen of the iuy,
Mr. Cunningham is wrong.

Perhaps you think of me
as a woman who has too much,

who has lived too well.

Well, that may or may not be true.

But right now l am a woman
who is being victimized.

l am being blamed for a murder
that l did not commit.

l have no witnesses.

l have no dramatic surprises
to prove my innocence.

All l can tell you is the truth.

Yes.

l wanted Mark Jennings out of my life,
but l did not wish him dead.

Yes, l gave him $100,OOO,
but he was blackmailing me,

and l paid the price
of my indiscretions.

l am guilty of many things.

Stone me for the sins
that l have committed,

and l'll stand before you
and say, ''l took my chances.''

But l beg you, do not condemn me
for a crime that l did not commit.

My son.

My own son, Steven,
stands as my main accuser.

lf he says that he saw a figure
on my terrace that night, l believe him.

But it was not l.

l swear to God Almighty.
l did not kill Mark Jennings.

- Any word?
- No.

l was wrong to have fired you.
l really needed you.

You were wrong to testify, Mother,
that's what hurt you.

But if your closing argument
didn't win the hearts of that juy

l don't know anything
about the art of defence.

Thank you, darling.

At least l have one son who cares.

[GASPS]

What are you doing here?

l was iust going over it again.

Some little lie that you can add
to assure Alexis' conviction.

You've done a more than
adequate job already.

ln fact, l ought to toss you
over this terrace myself.

- Dex, it was the truth.
- The truth?

What is the truth to you?

The testimony that you gave

that could put your mother
in the electric chair? Nuh-uh.

The truth is you hate your mother.
Love-hate.

- That is the sick name for it, isn't it?
- Enough.

Oh, no, now we get down
to the truth of it, don't we?

That really strikes a nerve.

The same one Alexis strikes in you
because you blame her

for turning you into the snivelling fag
that you are and always have been.

[GRUNTING]

[PANTING]

Yes. Yes, thank you vey much.

Well, the iuy's reached a verdict.

They'll be coming back in
in a few minutes.

l think we'd better go.

- Steven.
- Yeah.

lt's over. They've reached a verdict.

Mrs. Colby, you'd better get dressed.
The juy is in.

JUDGE:
Does the juy have a verdict?

Yes, we have, Your Honour.

Will the defendant please rise?

The court clerk will read the verdict.

We, the iuy in the above-entitled
case find the defendant,

Alexis Colby,
guilty of murder in the first degree.

Oh, God.

[CROWD MURMURING]

Oh, this can't be happening.
