The Colbys (1985) s01e18 Episode Script

Jason, you're my father.
It's been hard getting used to that.
Announcer: Last time, on The Colbys But I'd like to try, - if you would.
- Yes, I would.
Jeff can stay here for a while.
But I will not see him marry that girl in this house! Sabella, please.
I want to be with you tonight.
I want to hold you in my arms, make love to you.
- Sable: We must be careful.
- Zach: No one will know.
Darling, we have to talk about what you saw the other day at Zachary Powers' penthouse.
I went there on purpose to hurt your father the way that he had hurt me, but when I was there and the chips were down, I couldn't.
The police are breathing down my neck on this Mahoney murder.
I want them off my back.
How can I help? Quite frankly, Zach, I think you know more about the Mahoney Lavados murders than either my father or the police.
I almost feel guilty.
We're so happy and What, Miles? He's always going to be there.
No, he's letting me go.
You saw that.
You'll never be free of me, Randall.
Never.
Mr.
Colby.
Good morning, sir.
Good morning.
Looks like we're having a wedding.
I was asked to give you this.
Uh, uh, no, no.
Uh, please, wait for Mrs.
Colby.
Fallon: Miles, I'd like to talk to you.
Fallon.
Miles, have you oh.
Oh, Henderson, there you are.
When the moving men arri Oh, good.
They have.
Tell them that the ceremony is being held in the living room bay so that the piano will have to be moved.
Come in.
Uh, if this is a joke, it's a bad one.
It's no joke.
Come on in.
Figured I'd be the last person you'd want to see before you got married.
There's something I have to say to you before I marry Jeff.
- You don't owe me anything.
- Yes, I do.
I do.
But to the Miles Randall knew.
My heart goes out to that man.
A good man who had no idea what he was getting into when he stopped to help a girl in trouble.
A beautiful girl.
But I'm different now.
You're different, too.
You frighten me.
I miss the old Miles.
And I miss Randall.
I know how much I'm responsible for all this.
And I'm sorry.
I really am.
But for the sake of the people we used to be, please let's try and be friends.
I'd like to be able to say I don't love you.
Truth is I'll always love you.
Always.
I do wish you well, though.
I-I-I found this in the garden.
Just lying in the garden.
Do you remember it? Yes, you gave it to me the day we The day we got married.
Yeah, well, I I can't bring myself to throw it away, and, uh well, I can't keep it either.
Your decision.
For what it's worth, I wouldn't trade my time with Randall for anything.
Hi, Monica.
So what were you doing in there? Having a conversation with my ex-wife.
Kiddo, I I know what you're going through.
I can feel it, too.
You must be feeling pretty good right now.
I do.
Really? You mean you're not In pain? Why should I be? Miles, you don't have to pretend with me.
I'm not.
Look, things were good between Fallon and me.
She just admitted that.
What makes you think this marriage to Jeff will work out? It didn't before.
- Miles, you - No, no, no, no.
It's only a matter of time before she realizes she's made the same mistake twice.
I'll wait.
You'll see.
We'll be back together again.
Well, that's not the way that Colby Enterprises does business, you know that.
Well, don't let them pressure you, Pierre.
I'll be back in the office in a week or so.
I'll fly over if necessary.
All right.
Take care.
Does the groom even get a little time off to get ready for his wedding? Well, ask our people in Paris.
As far as they're concerned, it's business as usual.
But I don't mind.
Well, I was holed up with six lawyers and a merger agreement just before Sable walked down the aisle.
Ah.
It's in our blood, I guess.
Jeff, I'd, uh like to talk to you for a minute that we may not get a chance tomorrow.
There hasn't been a wedding in this house in 28 years.
It's a happy time for us.
For most of us.
Jason, I'm sorry about Miles.
Really, I am.
No.
No apologies.
That's-that's not what this is about, but I think you do understand what he's going through.
Yes, I do.
That's why I want your help.
Me? How? Well, for him to accept Fallon as your wife, you as his brother, my son, it's taking everything he's got.
What can I do? I know you two don't get on, but I'd like you to try and sidestep his anger, if you can give him a chance to get his pride back.
All right.
I will.
I'll try.
I-I mean, I owe you, I owe this family a great deal.
Well, it's the family I'm thinking about.
Keeping it together.
And if you track it back a ways you'll find some good men.
My granddad, he That reminds me.
This is his watch.
My dad got it the day he married in this house, and I was his firstborn son.
He gave it to me when I got married here, and now it's yours.
Jason, I I-I don't know what to say.
Well, just make sure you pass it on to L.
B.
When his time comes.
He's got his eye on it already.
I just hope he appreciates it as much as I do.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything.
Thank you.
Well, I guess I'd better be going.
I'm getting married in the morning.
That was very touching.
Some fatherly advice to the groom.
Miles, listen, I'd like to see an end to this thing between you and Jeff.
- I'm sure you would.
- Hear me out.
I know you got dealt a bad hand.
- If I were in your shoes - You're not in my shoes.
You're not in mine.
My God, what do you want to see happen here, anyway? Fallon somehow turn into Randall again, Jeff just disappear? What's wrong with that? I wouldn't mind being dealt a good hand for a change.
Because it can't happen that way.
It can't happen.
Through sickness and in health.
For better or worse.
- Till death do us part.
- Miles.
She said that to me.
Now she's gonna say it to him.
- Listen.
- No, you listen to me.
You said I wasn't in your position.
I wouldn't want to be.
This whole business between you and Francesca, it's beneath contempt.
Now, you're hurting your wife, my mother, you want to drive her out of her own home.
That's between your mother and me.
It's our business.
Yeah, then take care of it.
Leave me to take care of my life my own way.
I may not be Jason Colby.
I'm not gonna have all the answers.
But then lately, neither do you.
Well, Tom, you know I appreciate anything you can do for us.
So long as it's soon.
Ah, listen, let us know as soon as you get word.
All right.
Thanks.
The injunction's still in place, court won't budge.
- Damn.
- Now we did manage to head off.
Clean Earth's attempt at a statewide injunction.
It means we still have access to the other harbors? What good does that do me? The pipeline's in San Miguel.
If I can't get Blake's oil delivered there, I'm sucking air.
By the way, uh, when was Blake due in for the wedding? Later today.
That's interesting because one of our people saw him with Steven and Dominique at her hotel last night.
Now, he's already checked in there.
Why? I mean, why wouldn't he call first or go straight to the house? That's where his daughter's getting married.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? He didn't come here just to dance at his daughter's wedding.
Now your signature and, uh, we're in business.
Only if Jason Colby fails to deliver.
Of course, of course.
But there is a lot of ocean between the South China Sea and San Miguel Harbor.
There's also a lot of Carrington oil in the South China Sea, and we want it delivered.
If Colby Marine can do it, fine.
- If not - If not, Powers Shipping, and only Powers Shipping will.
Oh, by the way, I've been hearing your name around town in connection with the deaths of Bill Mahoney and Captain Lavados.
Have you, now? Along with the names of others who mourn their passing, I hope.
Ah, Spiro.
Mr.
Blake Carrington, my stepson, Spiro Koralis.
He runs my New York office.
- Mr.
Koralis.
- Pleasure.
- My son, Steven.
- How do you do? Now to conclude our talk, the name Jason Colby may come up in connection with those two deaths.
Listen for it, huh? I'll keep both names in mind.
That way there won't be any big surprises.
Gentlemen.
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
- So that's Blake Carrington.
- Never mind him.
I told you to get out here a week ago.
What took you so long? I can't jump every time you snap your fingers.
I have other things to do, like run our company on the east coast.
Our company? This isn't Koralis Shipping anymore.
You work for Powers Shipping now.
You couldn't wait to change the name.
My father left the company to my mother to keep for me.
That she did.
Her will was very clear, a sizeable share to you and control to me.
I say the word, and you go back to signing proxies like the other shareholders.
And the day you try that is the day the police will re-open the investigation into my mother's mysterious drowning.
Spiro, Spiro, we gain nothing by going over these old grievances.
I have nothing to fear from an investigation, and I am confident I have your complete loyalty.
Good.
I want you to feel confident.
Now, speaking of investigations, I want you to start one for me into the murders of Lavados and Mahoney.
You mean you didn't arrange them? It wasn't a Zach Powers special? Whatever you think, - I am not a murderer.
- Does anyone else know that? I may be ruthless in business, but there is no blood on my hands.
Do you understand that? I understand more than you think.
I want you to get on to your Syndicate contacts and find out who's really behind these two murders, and fast.
Before Jason Colby can find a way to pin them on you.
Whoever takes the fall, it won't be me.
Ernie: And the prints match, you're sure? All right, thanks.
Mr.
Colby, please.
Miles Colby.
Yeah, all right.
Put him on.
Mr.
Colby, this is Lt.
Ernie Braden.
What can I do for you, Lieutenant? Well, some of Lt.
Olsen's caseload has been assigned to me, including the Mahoney homicide.
- And? - And a couple of details in the file I need to familiarize myself with.
Any chance I can have a few minutes of your time today? Late today, maybe.
I'll be here till, uh, seven or eight tonight.
But couldn't I No, problem.
Fallon: Maybe it's just as well your flight couldn't take off, mother.
I need the time with Daddy after what you did to him, betraying him like that on the witness stand.
I'm afraid I don't agree.
Come in.
Ah, look, I hope you can make it tomorrow, but the wedding will take place with or without you, and it's going to be wonderful.
Sable's really outdone herself.
Not even you could have done better.
Look, Daddy's here, I have to go.
Bye.
Hello, darling.
Ah, I'm so glad you're here.
And I'm so glad to be here.
Say, that phone call sounded a little unhappy.
- What was it all about? - Mother.
She can still push the right buttons, or the wrong ones.
I can't disagree with you about that.
She's not interested in anyone but herself.
This fogged-in airport is just a convenient excuse.
Oh, now, I don't know about that.
I'm sure she's just as frustrated as Crystal is about not being able to get here today.
And there's always tomorrow.
It can clear up tomorrow and everyone will be here.
How can you defend her after what she did to you in court? I'll tell you what, let's forget about Alexis.
There are happier things to think about.
Now, you're getting married tomorrow.
Let's concentrate on that.
Is that a deal? You're a tough man to tangle with.
Oh, I'm so happy for you, darling, and Jeff.
My fondest dream come true.
I'm gonna be so proud to walk you down that aisle.
I love you, Daddy.
I really do.
Zachary Powers is coming? How on earth did he get an invitation? It was on the business list Mr.
Colby's secretary sent over.
And he had the nerve to accept.
Now, who's next.
Sable.
Can I talk to you? Would you excuse us a moment, Polly? Thank you.
You are a day early.
I wanted to speak to you before the wedding.
Everything looks beautiful.
Thank you.
I'm doing it for my husband, not for your son.
Let's call a truce.
At least for tomorrow.
Maybe for longer.
It doesn't really matter, does it? We won't be seeing very much of each other anymore, not with Roger's reassignment to Singapore.
How do you know about that? What, about Singapore? Well it's a small world, darling.
News travels fast.
Very fast, especially if you have inside information.
I'm not even sure about Roger's reassignment yet.
Well, take it from me, darling.
The wife is always the last to know.
Did you have anything to do with this? Oh, for heaven's sake, Frankie.
If you think that I could influence the British government's diplomatic postings, you overestimate me.
No, I don't think so.
If anything, I've underestimated you.
You're capable of anything.
Um, that comes under the pot calling the kettle black, doesn't it? So much for the truce.
Yes, well, it was beginning to drag on a bit, wasn't it? See you tomorrow, Frankie, and, oh, uh, don't be the last guest to leave.
Zach, I am serious.
You are not coming to this wedding.
But, um, wouldn't that look a little odd? A little rude? After all, Jason and I are business partners, and - I was invited.
- Zach, please.
- Listen to me - And besides, I hear, um, Sable Colby's making this the wedding of the year.
Not out of choice.
It was that or leave.
Jason made it clear.
You're better than he knows.
Perhaps you're better than you know.
If I can just see Miles through this, oh, you know how people are at weddings.
They're all smiling and brimming with good cheer, I want to scream at them for his sake.
- Sabella.
- No, please, make things easier for me.
Ever since he found me at your penthouse Where nothing happened.
I don't think he believes that.
It doesn't matter, Sabella, his lips are sealed.
Well, he promised me that.
You spoke to Miles? He came to me, concerned for your welfare.
Very admirable.
What did he say? Well, we had an enlightening discussion.
Fortunately, Miles was willing to listen to good sense.
Are you really sure he won't say anything? Let's just say we have a gentlemen's agreement.
After all, we both love the lady in question.
Just one more question, Mr.
Colby.
Can you tell me what happened after you and Mahoney left the bar that night? Look, Lt.
Braden, I went over and over all of this with your friend, Olsen.
I'm sure it's all down in his report.
Now, if you'll excuse me Let me save you some time, Lieutenant.
If I'd wanted to kill Mahoney, I'd have hit him with something a darn sight harder than my fist.
Okay? Harder than your fist.
I'll make a note of that, Mr.
Colby.
You do that.
Thanks for your time.
Thank you.
Hey, you.
I hear there's some kind of party here today.
Oh, Steven.
Oh! Jeff sent his best man to spy on him.
He wants details, details, I'll tell him the bride's got orange toes.
You tell him to stay in his room.
I'm getting dressed in Connie's suite and if he sees me in the hallway, - the wedding is off.
- All right.
Then I'll tell him, you're not as ugly as you used to be.
And your ears don't stick out anymore.
Much.
- Is mother gonna make it? - I don't know, she's trying.
So is Crystal and the rest of the family, but the airport's still socked in.
- If there's a way.
- I know.
I'm just glad you're here.
Well, are you happy? Happy.
You know, it it's been a tough year for me, but seeing you like this with Jeff, with LB restores my faith in the world.
Steven, I love you.
Hang on to him, Fallon.
Every minute that you have with him, it's a gift.
I know.
I'll remember.
Oh, Jason.
How long have you been standing there? About 28 years.
Seems like only yesterday.
You are as handsome as ever.
Well you're as beautiful as ever.
Oh, Lady, Lady.
What is it about you? Everything in me says no, and then and then I look at you like this.
From the first time we kissed, remember? That old black magic.
Whatever it is, it's kept us together.
It's been strong enough for us to survive everything and everyone until now.
Oh, Jason Excuse me, sir.
Yes, Henderson, what is it? Uh, you asked to be informed the moment Mr.
Carrington arrives.
Oh, yes, thank you.
Well, I have to We'll talk later.
Come in.
- All ready? - Blake, thank Great, you're here early.
I-I just I feel like I feel like I'm all thumbs.
I can't get this cufflink in.
Here, let me help you.
You know, the day I married Crystal, I was so nervous, I forgot to wear my cufflinks.
Yeah, I guess I am nervous.
A little scared, too.
Jeff, you and Fallon have been through a lot.
Many couples wouldn't have survived what you have.
My daughter's a strong woman and you're a good man.
- Blake, I - No, no, let me finish it.
You know that not many of us have a second chance at happiness.
I was lucky enough to find Crystal, and you, you're blessed with the same kind of luck.
Don't waste it.
Make it work.
Well, I will.
This time, it's forever.
You know, I've always said that you were like a son to me.
Well, now you really are.
Yeah, come in.
Oh.
I was hoping you'd have changed your mind.
But, Mom, I told you I wouldn't miss this wedding for the world.
Why do you insist on torturing yourself? I'm a Colby, Mother.
You know we Colby men are supposed to be tough guys.
Anyway, I want to show the world I can handle it.
Don't do anything you will regret.
I won't do anything.
I'll regret.
You're better off without her.
Oh.
Yeah, but I still want her, Mother, more than ever.
Dominique, I was wondering if Jeff Colby, I'm surprised at you.
You know this area is off-limits to the groom.
Oh, come on now.
No one believes in that silly superstition.
Well, I do.
And you cannot see the bride.
Don't waste any of that Jeff Colby charm trying.
Well, all right, then.
I I won't tell you how beautiful you look.
Well, a little charm never hurt anybody.
Jeff I must ask you to forgive me for something.
- For what? - For all the times I tried to persuade you to forget about her, that she was never coming back.
Thank God I was wrong.
Well, don't apologize.
Just wish me luck.
I do.
I wish you all the happiness in the world.
Bride and groom? Bride and groom.
Any late word from Denver? Airport is still fogged in.
It's too bad.
Because despite everything, I know Fallon would've loved to have had her mother here.
Yeah.
Fog didn't stop you.
There's a loving father.
All right, Jason, let's get it out in the open, shall we? I got here a day early and you know it.
But I don't know why.
All right, you'll find out anyway.
If you can't get that San Miguel injunction lifted soon I made a deal to guarantee the delivery of my oil.
If you can't handle it.
We had a deal.
We still do, if you can fulfill your end of the contract.
Come on now.
You'd do the same thing in my place and you know it.
Is Zach Powers in this with you? I had no choice.
There's no choice to make.
We had a deal.
I've got commitments with that oil.
Commitments I've got to keep.
You have a commitment with me you've got to keep.
Now, don't you play holier-than-thou with me.
There wouldn't be an injunction if there hadn't been that oil spill.
- Powers' setup, that spill.
- Can you prove that? Who the hell else stands to profit from it? I said can you prove it? I shouldn't have to prove it with you.
And does the same thing go for the deaths of Mahoney and Lavados? That smells like a cover-up to me and I don't want any part of a cover-up.
All right, Blake.
Let me tell you how it's going to be.
I'll ship your oil to a port up north and truck it down to San Miguel if I have to.
Truck it down? That's not part of our deal.
I'll pay every driver, every rig, every toll charge, but I'm damned if I'll standby and let you turn this deal over to Powers.
Fine.
You do what you have to do.
You mean come after you with a horse whip like my granddad would have done? But I'm not my granddad.
And you're a guest in my house.
For a couple of more hours, anyway.
Well, if you'll excuse me.
My daughter is getting married.
Thank you.
Fallon? I have a very special wedding gift, just for you.
Respect, Honesty, Love.
That's the secret to the I'll treasure it always.
Thank you.
They're almost ready.
Respect.
Honesty.
Love.
I thought you said this was gonna be a modest affair at the house.
This is a modest affair, hah, for the Colbys.
- Well, one good thing.
- Hmm? All these people, maybe your father won't notice me.
Will you stop worrying about him? - The truth.
- Hm? Didn't you bring me just to upset him? Sean, we're here because this is my family.
We love each other and I wanted you to see that.
I do.
It's one of the things I like about you, bottom line, you care about family.
And I care about you.
I love you.
Bliss.
Daddy.
I think you know Sean McAllister.
Indeed I do.
Sir.
I'm glad you showed up.
Oh, we wouldn't have missed this for the world.
Sean and I are kind of, uh, getting in the mood.
Enjoy yourself.
You take my breath away.
Please, Zach, not here.
Where? When? Zach, I'm not sure.
Excuse me, please.
Oh, I'm exhausted, being sweet to everyone.
Are you pleased with how everything's turned out.
Yes, you did a wonderful job.
I'm proud of you.
I've tried to put my feelings for Miles to one side.
I know how much you wanted this.
Jason, do you think there is any magic left between us? Well, this is hardly the time to I'd try.
Really, I would.
I'd forgive Fallon, I'd accept Jeff.
Just please don't turn your back on Miles.
Oh, get a load of that loving, devoted wife.
He'd never know she had a gun to his head over the divorce settlement.
She thinks of herself as the injured party, Connie.
What if she weren't? What if what if it could be proven that Jason was the injured party? Legally, this is a no-fault state, but practically speaking, she'd have to soften her demands.
Connie, what do you know? Oh, I-I didn't say I knew anything.
I was just, uh supposing.
Mr.
Groom.
Congratulations.
No hard feelings.
No hard feelings.
I know when I'm beaten.
You're top dog now, no denying.
Miles, things are different between us now.
I mean, we're brothers.
I've never had a brother, and neither have you.
Why why don't we try and make that mean something? Just give me one thing.
Randall.
She existed.
It happened.
You know it did, don't you? Yeah, I know that.
Thanks for helping her.
