The Colbys (1985) s01e20 Episode Script
020 - Double Jeopardy
Narrator: Last time, on The Colbys Hey wait a minute! You can't leave me here.
I want to see my lawyer.
The problem is John Moretti is handling this case.
Damn.
The guy you helped keep out of office.
Moretti and I go back a long way.
My son is not staying in jail on some phony charge! That's not up to you! You can buy a candidate, Mr.
Colby, but this is a question of justice.
You think I had something to do with Miles' arrest? If I find your hand in this, as God is my witness, I'll cut it off.
Divorce I need some time to decide what I'm going to do.
Maybe I could stay here for a few months, find an apartment Why? When you have a perfectly good home here.
No, no.
You will stay with us.
Sable would never allow it.
You leave Sable to me.
So you're not satisfied with destroying my son's marriage, you are determined to destroy mine.
I merely extended my hospitality to a member of this family.
She must never set foot in this house.
Well, if you feel that way about it, there is something you can do.
Move out.
I see two men in your life.
One dark, one fair.
I see old men in your future, I see big trouble for the fair man, I see blood.
I blacked out after I left the bar.
I was drunk.
I don't remember.
You must promise you will never say that again, not to anyone! I could've killed him.
How does the defendant plead? Not guilty.
Bail will be set at $100,00 until the preliminary hearing.
You may have won the round, Mr.
Colby, but you can't buy your son out of this one.
And you can't buy the D.
A.
's job at my son's expense, either.
I don't have to, your son is as guilty as hell.
I've got the murder weapon and your son's name is written all over it.
( theme music playing ) Butler: Mr.
and Mrs.
Colby, what a surprise when we got your message.
We didn't expect you for another week.
Well, we read the news about Miles and decided to take the first plane back.
Yes, sir, of course, very distressing.
No one wanted to ruin your honeymoon.
Shall I tell your father you're here? Oh, Jeff, let's not.
There's no point in waking him at this hour.
Um, I think we'll just go up to our room.
- Uh, those can wait till tomorrow.
- Yes, sir.
The sunset suite is ready for you.
Mrs.
Colby had it redone personally.
( tires screeching, gunfire on TV ) I wish I knew some way to help Miles.
( noises on TV playing ) It sounds like Miles is still awake.
I'd like him to know we're with him.
What do you think? Why not? ( gunfire, tires screeching on TV ) ( knocking on door ) Look who it is.
The newlyweds.
Well, we came back as soon as we heard.
Can we come in? Sure.
Are you all right? I'm fine.
There's certainly no need to panic.
Well, from what we've been reading in the newspapers, the D.
A.
's office seems to think they've got quite a case.
There's no case.
Moretti's grandstanding.
Can't you read between the lines? Well, that's a relief.
Uh, well, we just want you to know if there's anything we can do to help.
Thanks, but Garrett's got everything under control.
Sorry I spoiled your honeymoon.
You should've called first.
I'd have told you to stay and work on your tans.
Well, goodnight.
Is that it? Oh, did I forget to say, welcome home? Maybe you'll feel like talking later.
( sighing ) Well, I suppose you can't blame him, but it makes you wonder why we even tried? I know why.
He's your brother.
Jason, how long have you been standing there? ( laughs ) About 28 years.
It seems like only yesterday.
You are as handsome as ever.
Well Maybe Frankie's right.
I know she is that's what I've realized these last few days, that I love you, that nothing else matters and that I'll do anything to prove that to you.
Anything Anything ( knocking on door ) Come in.
Frankie - You're not leaving us? - Yes, I am.
You're joining Roger in Singapore, after all, huh? No, he's meeting me in Acapulco for 48 hours.
We're getting a divorce.
Is this your decision? I care about Roger but I have to let him go.
There's no point in dragging this out, so we're making it a clean, fast break.
Does this mean there's some hope for us? I don't know.
I need some time alone in Mexico.
Wait? I'm sorry for Roger but Frankie, think.
Frankie, don't you see, that for the first time in our lives we'll both be free.
We can get married.
You still have a wife.
Still, not for long.
You-- go on, get your divorce - and I'll tell Sable.
- No.
Connie's the only one I told.
I don't want anyone else to know why I'm going to Mexico.
Why not? If Sable finds out I'm getting a divorce, she'll feel even more threatened, and she'll never give you your freedom.
Well, maybe you're right not to tell her now, but, what do you feel? No, look at me.
I wanna marry you, lady.
Isn't that what you want? Yes, eventually.
No, not eventually.
Soon.
You hurry back home.
No, I'm not coming back until we're both free.
( knocking on door ) Sable, I-- You've been crying? I've been looking at old baby pictures.
Miles was so sweet, do you remember? Yeah, I remember that red wagon.
He wouldn't let me help pull it.
He was barely able to walk and he wanted to do it his way.
He still does.
Oh, God, I'm so frightened what's gonna happen to him.
Now you listen to me, we've got the best possible people working with Garrett on this, legal and investigative.
Moretti's the one who should be worried, he hasn't got a case, no matter what he says in the papers.
What if the jury-- Sable, Miles is incapable of murder.
We won't even let it get to court.
Oh.
You are the only man in the world that could make me sure of that.
Thank you, darling.
Well, no more tears then, huh? No.
You won't be late for the opening tonight? Well, I had-- The New wing of the Colby Connection.
I hadn't thought of going.
Oh, it'll be wonderful.
Everyone will be there.
And you're practically the guest of honor.
I am? Of course.
You're the inspiration.
You're the whole reason the collection exists.
Well, I guess I'd better show up, then.
You don't know how happy that makes me feel, knowing that you'll be there beside me with our family.
Sable, I hope you don't think-- We must pull together now for Miles' sake.
Nothing's more important than our children.
I know you feel that, too.
I've always counted on it.
I know Miles, that was all bluff.
He's worried.
I think he's gonna need help.
He'll never ask you for it.
Well, I'll find a way to help him whether he likes it or not.
( intercom buzzes ) Yeah? Who is it? Yeah, yeah, I'll speak to him.
Jeff Colby.
The hotel in Jamaica told me you cut short your honeymoon, Mr.
Colby.
Now that you're back, I'd like you to stop by my office this morning.
And what's this all about? Just a few questions about your brother and the Mahoney murder.
Well, I, uh, I can be there within an hour.
Right.
Anything wrong? No, just the usual crisis downtown.
Well, I'm afraid I can't help you.
I was out of the country at the time, in Rome.
With a little side trip to Athens.
Yes, I had some business in Greece.
What about it? The day Captain Lavados was murdered? ( laughs ) What are you getting at? I'm just struck by the coincidence of it, that's all.
The only two men that could shed light on the Colby oil spill were both murdered.
One in Athens, where you're on the scene, one in San Miguel where your brother was.
I went to Athens to get the truth out of Lavados about that spill.
Or to make sure no one else got to him first? At least that's how some people might read it.
Look, I don't give a damn how some people might read it.
What are you trying to pull here? Let's leave the Lavados murder to the Greek police.
Right now I'm more interested in who killed Mahoney.
I think I can prove it was Miles Colby.
My brother is no murderer.
Spare me the brotherly love routine.
I know he knocked you off a cliff fighting over his ex-wife, the girl you just married.
That Malibu crowd lives on gossip.
Did your gossips tell you that he pulled me back up, too? Maybe blood's still thicker than water.
Especially Colby blood.
If you have any more questions, Mr.
Moretti, I suggest you call my lawyer.
Tell him to wait by the phone.
Sable: Oh, thanks for lunch, darling.
I'm glad to know you haven't lost your appetite.
Miles: Yeah, I guess I did pack it away, didn't I? No problems with Jeff and Fallon being back on the scene? I've got more important things to think about, like a murder rap.
Funny how that keeps the old adrenaline pumping.
Mm, well, it'll all be behind us soon.
I think I might have some good news for you.
I think your father and I might be getting back together again.
Are you serious? Well, I have a few more fences to mend, but then I can think of nothing to stand in the way of a reconciliation.
What about Francesca? You're gonna forgive him for that, huh? Your father is an extraordinary man, but, well, he's only human.
He has a lot in common with men his age.
Whatever this thing was with Francesca, I am convinced that it was only a phase.
A phase? Sure.
Try and understand him as I do.
A lot of men like your father, they only stray because they're searching for their lost youth.
They'll take up with a younger woman, or they'll pick up an old flame, in a desperate effort to regain the past, to be young again.
I guess that makes your sister the fountain of youth.
I made things worse, of course.
That business with Connie.
I went too far.
I knew that.
It's done.
That's all forgotten.
Now I am determined to stand by him through this crisis, and when it's over I'll be there for him.
Mom, you'd better start facing reality.
Francesca just moved into the house.
Not for long.
Then she'll be joining Roger in Singapore, after her little vacation, in Acapulco.
Acapulco? Mmm, I think that's where she's going.
Enid heard her confirming her flight for this afternoon.
Kind of sudden, isn't it? Well, I suspect she was feeling rather uncomfortable in the house.
I think the rest will do her good.
And with her out of the way, your father and I can carry on with our lives.
Eh, it sounds to me like Moretti's on some sort of a fishing expedition.
Well, he's not going to catch anything.
I told him I was out of town the night Mahoney was killed.
So he just called you down there for a friendly chat? Garrett, uh, what exactly does Moretti have on Miles? A couple of witnesses, some Mickey Mouse motive.
Yeah, and the murder weapon, so he says, with Miles' name all over it, that is a quote.
Well, then he's gotta be bluffing.
Well, let's be sure.
Can't we demand full disclosure of everything they have? Yes, that's one of our options, but Well, let's do it.
Well, why not, Garrett? ( scoffs ) We can move for discovery before the preliminary hearing, we can ask for the lab reports on the murder weapon, and Moretti will have to hand them over to us.
- Good.
- Now, Jason, think.
He's cocky now, he's overconfident.
If we ask for disclosure now, he'll work all the harder to shore up what he's already got.
But if we wait for the preliminary Now, let's not play games with this.
There's too much at stake.
I want to know everything they've got before we walk into that hearing.
File the motion.
- Jason? - File it.
Hi.
I just got out of the shower.
How long have you been waiting? About a week.
When you coming back to the houseboat? As soon as Miles is all right.
Did you tell them that we're getting married? Now's not the time for me to break that kind of news to my family.
They've got enough to cope with already.
It's not exactly a straight answer.
Did you or didn't you? You never intended to go through with this, did you? That's not true.
You were just using me to get back at your father.
You're a fine one to talk about using people.
What's wrong, Miss Colby, you get tired of playing the rebel role? Gotta get back to your tiara and glass slippers? Stop it! Can't you understand? I understand everything now! When I first met you I thought you were just a spoiled, little rich girl.
But you're worse than that.
You're just like your father, a Colby through and through.
You're the real user here, Bliss, not me.
I just wanted you to know that I'll be thinking about you in the morning.
Please call as soon as you can.
Sleep well.
How's Wayne doing? The bandages come off his eyes in the morning, but he won't know whether or not the graft's have taken for a week or so.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if he can see again? Sensational.
You know I had very few principles left after you.
Uh-huh.
That's what you need, fewer principles.
I swore when I rehired you it would be business only.
Well, maybe I'll charge you.
That'll make it business.
I don't want to get involved with a married man.
Whoa, that turns me on.
What, that I have principles? No, that I can pretend to be a married man who's making love to you.
You are a married man.
You have still have that piece of paper with your name on it, and Gayle's.
You think like a lawyer.
I am a lawyer.
Why didn't you get a divorce? Oh, if you're not in a hurry, why bother? But now things have changed.
Have they? Monica, I promise you, as soon as Gayle gets back from her tour, I'll talk to her.
As soon as she gets back? Are you walking out on me? I suppose you're walking out on your mother, too, huh? I'll take care of her from now on.
So don't worry.
And I'll pay you back for everything if it takes me 50 years.
Sean, you are family.
Family.
You're like a son to me.
Save the papa power, Zach, for your stepson.
Spiro is not my blood.
You are.
Yeah, and I'm trying to live it down.
I want to get as far away from you as I can.
Go.
We'll talk when you're more yourself.
I won't be around.
I took that offer from Oceanworld.
I'm moving to Florida as soon as I can.
Well, what about the Colby girl? You said you loved her.
You'll abandon her, too? I wouldn't get into that if I were you.
Besides, what do you care? When have you ever cared about anybody's feelings.
When you've lived my years and fought my battles, then you judge me.
Not before.
Now get out.
Get out! ( door slams ) Losing your touch, Zach? Eavesdropping, Spiro? You used to be so good at manipulating people, especially loved ones.
He's not as easy to handle as my mother was, huh? You'd better watch your step.
You'd better watch yours.
You've lost him, Zach.
The old magic's gone.
Even the Colby's seem to be slipping through your fingers.
Not all the Colbys, Spiro.
Not all.
Would you please make sure they're here by five.
No, let's say half past four.
Thank you.
You're early.
The opening is not until tomorrow night.
Oh, I just happened to be passing and saw your light.
( laughs ) That's a likely story.
The truth will only embarrass you.
Can I interest you in some supper? Oh, thank you, but I still have too much to do here.
Oh, my second disappointment.
What was the first? Well, I just came through the new wing.
You didn't like it? Oh, it's splendid, but I miss something.
Uh, yes.
Your Matisse.
Correction, your Matisse.
I've had it taken down.
It's being returned to you.
But you wanted that painting almost as much as I want you.
It's no good, Zach, I'm going back to Jason.
You never left him.
Even so.
He doesn't deserve you, Sabella.
He can't look inside your soul the way I can.
He can't see the fire burning there, but I can.
I can.
It's no good, Zach.
I know what I want and it isn't this.
It's over between us.
Not till I say so.
Oh, you can spot an easy target a mile off, can't you? Does it really do so much for your ego? Turning on a woman this hungry for love? No more hungry than I.
Oh, stop fighting, Ms.
Sabella.
I adore you.
And I'm going to have you.
Please, go away.
Leave me alone.
All right.
All right, you won't have me.
At least have the painting.
Not even the painting.
The painting I bought for you will remain in the new wing where all the world will see it.
Where you will see it every day of your life and be reminded of how much you are loved.
You owe me that much.
Then how do I explain it to Jason? He knows that I was outbid.
How do I explain it? Oh, you'll think of something.
All right.
The Matisse stays but only because I owe you.
That's what I shall be reminded of every time I look at it, that my debt is paid.
I'll remember that tomorrow night, when I see it back where it belongs.
Look, things have changed since I invited you to the opening.
Please, stay away tomorrow night.
Our account is cleared.
Please, leave me alone.
You owe me this and more, much more.
One day I'll collect everything and you will pay gladly.
Yes, I know.
I-- Yeah, well, I'll turn it over to R & D and see what they think of it.
Fair enough? Yep.
I'm sorry to disturb you while you're working.
Sharon, uh, hold my calls, please.
I've been down at the newspaper office all morning going through what they quaintly call 'The Morgue' and I've found a very exciting discovery.
Have a look.
I thought you'd be up to your neck getting stuff for your opening tonight.
No, that's all under control.
These are copies of articles printed several years ago.
I think they can help us with Miles.
Oh, yes, when I was fighting the city - on that offshore drilling.
- Mm-hmm.
You won, the loser was the then deputy City Attorney, John Moretti.
He was younger then but just as vicious.
Look at him shaking his fist at you on your first day's drilling.
Jason: Yeah, I'd almost forgotten that.
Sable: Well, obviously that little weasel hadn't, which is why he's trying to pin a murder on our son.
And you may be right, but he's not breaking any laws, - not yet.
- But it's ammunition.
Isn't this enough to get him thrown off the case? He's biased.
Look what I've underlined.
"Witnesses quote Moretti as vowing to get Jason Colby.
" "Moretti accuses Colby of buying City Council votes.
" He's not a judge, Sable, he's a prosecutor.
But, isn't this enough to get him disqualified? Ah I'm afraid not.
Not yet.
It might come in handy, though, if he pushes this indictment too far.
We've got to get this little rat stopped in his tracks before he ruins our son's life.
You remind me of a tigress defending her cub.
But I don't know anything about the law, and I can't fight this by myself.
You won't be by yourself.
( knocking on door ) Yeah? Thought you could use an update on your friend, Moretti.
I had a meeting with him.
I don't recall asking for your help.
Wait, it was his idea.
It gave me a chance to look at his tactics though, for what it's worth.
Look, I'm gonna tell you anyway.
What's is this, some fatherly advice? No, brotherly.
Of course.
Moretti's grasping at straws.
- I didn't do it, okay? - Well, I know that.
But he's got something.
He's too sure of himself.
And we've got to be ready to shoot him down at your preliminary hearing.
I believe Garrett knows what he's doing.
Well, look, Miles, you can use me as a sounding board.
We can go over everything that happened that night between you and Mahoney.
- Forget it, will you? - Oh, come on, Miles.
Maybe we'll come up with something.
A witness you haven't thought of yet anything.
What is all this? An opportunity to make yourself feel better for screwing up my life? Damn it, Miles, I'm your brother.
Doesn't that mean anything to you? When are you gonna get that chip off your shoulder? Hi, Bliss.
What's going on? I'm thinking of redoing my room.
Where should I hang this? Um anywhere, darling.
- Preferably facing the wall.
- ( laughs ) - Mother - Hehe.
I'm sorry.
I really do want to help you.
I'm quite good at this sort of thing.
I know.
And when we finish the room can you tell me how to change my whole life? Oh, it's that bad, is it? Go on, tell me all about it.
It's Sean.
Maybe he was using me at first, but in the end I was using him.
I was only gonna marry him to hurt daddy.
Is that true? That doesn't sound like you.
Well, that's what he said.
That's just because he doesn't know you.
Well, I guess I never knew him.
How could I love someone so much and know him so little? Oh, you know, that happens all the time.
It's lucky you found out so soon.
Maybe I'll leave the walls bare.
Sleep on a mattress on the floor like a monk or a monkess.
You will meet somebody else who's wonderful.
And then we'll have the most wonderful wedding that this house has ever seen.
You'll walk down the aisle on your father's arm - One big happy family - Mm-hm.
How can you say that after everything you and daddy are going through? You're getting a divorce and talking to me about marriage? Oh, darling.
Life is full of ups and downs, and I think your father and I are on the way up again, but we are a family, not happy at the moment, but we're all pulling together now to help Miles.
And nothing is going to break us apart, nothing and nobody.
Divorce papers? I just took my ex-husband to the airport.
How did you know? I was sitting in that same stool yesterday.
It took me two double Scotches before I could open those papers.
And today? Today.
Tequila Sunrise, hehe.
I'm Brinda, from New York, in case you couldn't guess.
I'm Frankie, from a lot of places.
You'll feel terrific tomorrow.
A quickie divorce means a quickie recovery.
I'm afraid it won't be so easy for the man I just divorced.
He's bitter.
At least you're out from under him.
Other way around, he's out from under me.
Don't worry about him.
He won't give you a second thought.
Men.
They step all over us and we stand there and take it like a punching bag.
We let them use us, then it's, uh, 'Nice while it lasted, babe.
See you around.
' You know the routine.
Do you think we're always the victims? What about women who use men? It's a man's world, honey.
Some women are heartless.
I know a woman who married a man so she had a husband to hide behind because she was in love with another man.
A married man, of course.
Did her husband know about it, going in? More or less.
But he was a good man and she used him.
Maybe she even ruined his life before she divorced him.
Don't believe that, honey.
She did him a favor.
She gave him back his freedom.
You certainly don't wallow in guilt.
People who feel guilty never get what they want.
Are you still in love with that married guy? I guess I'm not fooling anybody, am I? Yes, I'm in love with him.
I think I always have been.
Does he love you? He wants to marry me.
So what's the problem? ( sighs ) His wife.
Must be some terrific marriage.
Help the guy end the agony.
Life's too short.
I mean, how many cracks do you get at the real thing? This could be your last chance.
Go for it.
Uh, Henderson, please trying my call to Mexico.
Let me know when it comes in.
Thank you.
I just wanted to make sure you were coming to the opening tonight.
Well, you're being very friendly.
What did I do to deserve this? Ah, please help me, Connie.
I admit that I was wrong to fight you on Jeff's money now I want to make up for it.
I want to mend my ways.
You mean mend your ways back to Jason's bed.
I just want to bring us all together again.
Ooh, you can bring us all together quickly.
Divorce Jason.
I'm sure that nothing could make you happier.
( giggles ) Nothing would make him happier.
Don't be too sure.
Whatever I've done, I've always been a loving wife.
Always? Always.
I pride myself on that.
Well, Sable, you know what they say about pride.
No.
I won't let you provoke me anymore.
The invitation stands for tonight.
Come, or don't, as you like.
Excuse me, Mrs.
Patterson, Mr.
Palmer just buzzed.
Your call to Mexico has gone through.
Line four.
Thank you.
( sighs ) Excuse me, Sable.
Of course.
Yes, operator.
Francesca? Frankie: I think I'm still in shock, but I went through with it.
Connie: It must be very painful but at least it's-- it was fast.
Frankie: They don't call these 'quickie divorces' for nothing.
Frankie: Anyway, it's official now.
Frankie: You're speaking to the ex-lady Langdon.
Oh, you scheming little Connie: How long will you be down there? Frankie: A couple of weeks.
I need the time away.
Oh, Frankie, I've handled you all wrong.
But I know how to deal with you now.
Moretti's lying through his teeth.
It was a fist fight.
Mahoney tried to cut me up with a broken bottle, but I never used anything but my fists.
I broke one, remember? Well, then his talk about a murder weapon is a bluff.
I hope to God it is.
Maybe I should've broken both hands.
Miles, I believe you.
But wasn't there anything else that happened after you left the bar, any place else you went? Oh, dad, come on, I told you.
Home.
I've been over this with Garrett a dozen times.
We've gotta talk about this, don't you understand? Jeff wants to talk about it, you want to talk about it.
Can't the home team let up even a little? Look, we've had our troubles but you're my son.
I promise you, whatever comes down, I'll stand by you.
Believe me.
Do you? Yes.
Good.
I'd feel a whole lot better if I knew you and mom were getting together.
Ah Are you? Now you're in trouble.
That's all we're thinking about now.
Maybe something good will come out of this mess after all.
Thank you for coming to my office, daddy.
My pleasure, baby.
A very snazzy layout.
Are you afraid if you came over to Colby Towers I'd lock you up at your old job again? No, just afraid Miles might walk in.
I don't want him to hear what I have to say.
Well, you don't have any doubts about him.
I don't think he killed that man but I'm scared, daddy.
You know how Miles and I have always been able to read each other's minds almost? Yes.
When I spoke with him I could sense that-- I don't know, that he was holding something back.
You're worried about him, of course, we all are.
No, it's not just that.
What then? I don't know.
But I know there's something.
Sable: Isn't it lovely? We're so fortunate.
Art Collection Guide: Mrs.
Colby had been trying for months to acquire it.
First time on the market it 20 years.
It was quite a surprise when we received it.
Have you seen the new Potter? Follow me.
Isn't that the Matisse you were trying to get? - I thought somebody outbid you.
- I knew you'd be surprised.
My competition donated it.
Isn't that marvelous? that's some donation.
And, uh, who is 'Anonymous'? It's someone who wishes to remain just that.
- Well, I expect you can trust me.
- I gave my word.
Just tax reasons, or something, I don't know.
Well, don't you think I know how to keep my mouth shut? He or she was adamant.
You wouldn't want me to betray a confidence, would you? - Certainly not on my account.
- Oh, look.
Now there is my favorite architect, Henri Grabow.
I'd like you to meet him.
I have been talking to him about designing our new beach house.
What beach house? Well, we've outgrown our old one.
I thought we might give it to Jeff and Fallon as a sort of wedding present.
They deserve a bit of privacy on the weekends, don't they? You're being very generous.
I meant what I said.
I'll do anything it takes to keep us Colbys all together.
We can't change any of the real estate holdings until we establish the community property-- I would like you to meet him.
Monica, would you do the honors? Excuse me, Henry, Jason.
Jason: How do you do? I'm Mr.
Colby.
I thought that we had agreed that you weren't coming here tonight? Oh, surely, you can't deny me the pleasure of seeing my painting-- our painting, on the night of its debut? It's not ours.
You insisted on giving it to me, therefore, it's mine, and please don't be surprised to see it listed as anonymous.
Call me anything you like, as long as you call me.
( laughs ) Please, Zach, I am begging you.
Jason's here.
Don't do anything that would make him jealous tonight.
- Oh, Mr.
Powers.
- Ah, Mrs.
Patterson.
I didn't expect to find you here.
Zach is an ardent collector of art, Connie.
Yes, yes, I understand he collects many things.
From shipping contracts to, uh, beautiful women.
My two favorite occupations.
Beautiful women and, uh, profitable business.
What's he doing here? Dad, we got company.
Good evening.
This is a private event, what are you doing here? I'm just here as an interested observer.
What do you want? Why are you here? This is your man, Marshal, Jeff Colby.
- What? - Jeff? You're under arrest, Mr.
Colby.
Arrest, what for? What's the charge? Policeman: For the murder of Captain Nicos Lavados.
Jason: You can't do that.
You know damn well Lavados was killed in Greece.
- You have no jurisdiction here.
- This isn't my case, but Mr.
Cornfeld is a Federal Marshal and you'll find that he knows the procedure.
We have a request from the Greek government for your son's extradition, Mr.
Colby.
Ah, those won't be necessary.
Somebody do something.
You have the right to remain silent.
If you choose not to remain silent, anything you say and do can be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to speak to an attorney and have that attorney present during questioning.
If you so desire, and cannot afford one, an attorney will be appointed for you without charge before questioning.
Do you understand each of these rights - I've explained to you? - Yes.
Do you wish to give up the right to remain silent? No.
Do you wish to give up the right to speak to an attorney and have him present during questioning? - No.
- That's a cheap shot, Moretti.
You could have read him his rights in private.
You're just doing this to humiliate him.
Wasn't once enough, Moretti? Well, apparently not for you.
Two murders, two arrests.
- Why here? Why tonight? - Maybe so the world can see what the Colbys are really like for a change.
You will weep to remember the day you started this with me, I promise you that.
I'm gonna have a field day.
I'm gonna nail both your sons for murder, and then I'm gonna nail the kingpin, the great Jason Colby himself for conspiracy.
I want to see my lawyer.
The problem is John Moretti is handling this case.
Damn.
The guy you helped keep out of office.
Moretti and I go back a long way.
My son is not staying in jail on some phony charge! That's not up to you! You can buy a candidate, Mr.
Colby, but this is a question of justice.
You think I had something to do with Miles' arrest? If I find your hand in this, as God is my witness, I'll cut it off.
Divorce I need some time to decide what I'm going to do.
Maybe I could stay here for a few months, find an apartment Why? When you have a perfectly good home here.
No, no.
You will stay with us.
Sable would never allow it.
You leave Sable to me.
So you're not satisfied with destroying my son's marriage, you are determined to destroy mine.
I merely extended my hospitality to a member of this family.
She must never set foot in this house.
Well, if you feel that way about it, there is something you can do.
Move out.
I see two men in your life.
One dark, one fair.
I see old men in your future, I see big trouble for the fair man, I see blood.
I blacked out after I left the bar.
I was drunk.
I don't remember.
You must promise you will never say that again, not to anyone! I could've killed him.
How does the defendant plead? Not guilty.
Bail will be set at $100,00 until the preliminary hearing.
You may have won the round, Mr.
Colby, but you can't buy your son out of this one.
And you can't buy the D.
A.
's job at my son's expense, either.
I don't have to, your son is as guilty as hell.
I've got the murder weapon and your son's name is written all over it.
( theme music playing ) Butler: Mr.
and Mrs.
Colby, what a surprise when we got your message.
We didn't expect you for another week.
Well, we read the news about Miles and decided to take the first plane back.
Yes, sir, of course, very distressing.
No one wanted to ruin your honeymoon.
Shall I tell your father you're here? Oh, Jeff, let's not.
There's no point in waking him at this hour.
Um, I think we'll just go up to our room.
- Uh, those can wait till tomorrow.
- Yes, sir.
The sunset suite is ready for you.
Mrs.
Colby had it redone personally.
( tires screeching, gunfire on TV ) I wish I knew some way to help Miles.
( noises on TV playing ) It sounds like Miles is still awake.
I'd like him to know we're with him.
What do you think? Why not? ( gunfire, tires screeching on TV ) ( knocking on door ) Look who it is.
The newlyweds.
Well, we came back as soon as we heard.
Can we come in? Sure.
Are you all right? I'm fine.
There's certainly no need to panic.
Well, from what we've been reading in the newspapers, the D.
A.
's office seems to think they've got quite a case.
There's no case.
Moretti's grandstanding.
Can't you read between the lines? Well, that's a relief.
Uh, well, we just want you to know if there's anything we can do to help.
Thanks, but Garrett's got everything under control.
Sorry I spoiled your honeymoon.
You should've called first.
I'd have told you to stay and work on your tans.
Well, goodnight.
Is that it? Oh, did I forget to say, welcome home? Maybe you'll feel like talking later.
( sighing ) Well, I suppose you can't blame him, but it makes you wonder why we even tried? I know why.
He's your brother.
Jason, how long have you been standing there? ( laughs ) About 28 years.
It seems like only yesterday.
You are as handsome as ever.
Well Maybe Frankie's right.
I know she is that's what I've realized these last few days, that I love you, that nothing else matters and that I'll do anything to prove that to you.
Anything Anything ( knocking on door ) Come in.
Frankie - You're not leaving us? - Yes, I am.
You're joining Roger in Singapore, after all, huh? No, he's meeting me in Acapulco for 48 hours.
We're getting a divorce.
Is this your decision? I care about Roger but I have to let him go.
There's no point in dragging this out, so we're making it a clean, fast break.
Does this mean there's some hope for us? I don't know.
I need some time alone in Mexico.
Wait? I'm sorry for Roger but Frankie, think.
Frankie, don't you see, that for the first time in our lives we'll both be free.
We can get married.
You still have a wife.
Still, not for long.
You-- go on, get your divorce - and I'll tell Sable.
- No.
Connie's the only one I told.
I don't want anyone else to know why I'm going to Mexico.
Why not? If Sable finds out I'm getting a divorce, she'll feel even more threatened, and she'll never give you your freedom.
Well, maybe you're right not to tell her now, but, what do you feel? No, look at me.
I wanna marry you, lady.
Isn't that what you want? Yes, eventually.
No, not eventually.
Soon.
You hurry back home.
No, I'm not coming back until we're both free.
( knocking on door ) Sable, I-- You've been crying? I've been looking at old baby pictures.
Miles was so sweet, do you remember? Yeah, I remember that red wagon.
He wouldn't let me help pull it.
He was barely able to walk and he wanted to do it his way.
He still does.
Oh, God, I'm so frightened what's gonna happen to him.
Now you listen to me, we've got the best possible people working with Garrett on this, legal and investigative.
Moretti's the one who should be worried, he hasn't got a case, no matter what he says in the papers.
What if the jury-- Sable, Miles is incapable of murder.
We won't even let it get to court.
Oh.
You are the only man in the world that could make me sure of that.
Thank you, darling.
Well, no more tears then, huh? No.
You won't be late for the opening tonight? Well, I had-- The New wing of the Colby Connection.
I hadn't thought of going.
Oh, it'll be wonderful.
Everyone will be there.
And you're practically the guest of honor.
I am? Of course.
You're the inspiration.
You're the whole reason the collection exists.
Well, I guess I'd better show up, then.
You don't know how happy that makes me feel, knowing that you'll be there beside me with our family.
Sable, I hope you don't think-- We must pull together now for Miles' sake.
Nothing's more important than our children.
I know you feel that, too.
I've always counted on it.
I know Miles, that was all bluff.
He's worried.
I think he's gonna need help.
He'll never ask you for it.
Well, I'll find a way to help him whether he likes it or not.
( intercom buzzes ) Yeah? Who is it? Yeah, yeah, I'll speak to him.
Jeff Colby.
The hotel in Jamaica told me you cut short your honeymoon, Mr.
Colby.
Now that you're back, I'd like you to stop by my office this morning.
And what's this all about? Just a few questions about your brother and the Mahoney murder.
Well, I, uh, I can be there within an hour.
Right.
Anything wrong? No, just the usual crisis downtown.
Well, I'm afraid I can't help you.
I was out of the country at the time, in Rome.
With a little side trip to Athens.
Yes, I had some business in Greece.
What about it? The day Captain Lavados was murdered? ( laughs ) What are you getting at? I'm just struck by the coincidence of it, that's all.
The only two men that could shed light on the Colby oil spill were both murdered.
One in Athens, where you're on the scene, one in San Miguel where your brother was.
I went to Athens to get the truth out of Lavados about that spill.
Or to make sure no one else got to him first? At least that's how some people might read it.
Look, I don't give a damn how some people might read it.
What are you trying to pull here? Let's leave the Lavados murder to the Greek police.
Right now I'm more interested in who killed Mahoney.
I think I can prove it was Miles Colby.
My brother is no murderer.
Spare me the brotherly love routine.
I know he knocked you off a cliff fighting over his ex-wife, the girl you just married.
That Malibu crowd lives on gossip.
Did your gossips tell you that he pulled me back up, too? Maybe blood's still thicker than water.
Especially Colby blood.
If you have any more questions, Mr.
Moretti, I suggest you call my lawyer.
Tell him to wait by the phone.
Sable: Oh, thanks for lunch, darling.
I'm glad to know you haven't lost your appetite.
Miles: Yeah, I guess I did pack it away, didn't I? No problems with Jeff and Fallon being back on the scene? I've got more important things to think about, like a murder rap.
Funny how that keeps the old adrenaline pumping.
Mm, well, it'll all be behind us soon.
I think I might have some good news for you.
I think your father and I might be getting back together again.
Are you serious? Well, I have a few more fences to mend, but then I can think of nothing to stand in the way of a reconciliation.
What about Francesca? You're gonna forgive him for that, huh? Your father is an extraordinary man, but, well, he's only human.
He has a lot in common with men his age.
Whatever this thing was with Francesca, I am convinced that it was only a phase.
A phase? Sure.
Try and understand him as I do.
A lot of men like your father, they only stray because they're searching for their lost youth.
They'll take up with a younger woman, or they'll pick up an old flame, in a desperate effort to regain the past, to be young again.
I guess that makes your sister the fountain of youth.
I made things worse, of course.
That business with Connie.
I went too far.
I knew that.
It's done.
That's all forgotten.
Now I am determined to stand by him through this crisis, and when it's over I'll be there for him.
Mom, you'd better start facing reality.
Francesca just moved into the house.
Not for long.
Then she'll be joining Roger in Singapore, after her little vacation, in Acapulco.
Acapulco? Mmm, I think that's where she's going.
Enid heard her confirming her flight for this afternoon.
Kind of sudden, isn't it? Well, I suspect she was feeling rather uncomfortable in the house.
I think the rest will do her good.
And with her out of the way, your father and I can carry on with our lives.
Eh, it sounds to me like Moretti's on some sort of a fishing expedition.
Well, he's not going to catch anything.
I told him I was out of town the night Mahoney was killed.
So he just called you down there for a friendly chat? Garrett, uh, what exactly does Moretti have on Miles? A couple of witnesses, some Mickey Mouse motive.
Yeah, and the murder weapon, so he says, with Miles' name all over it, that is a quote.
Well, then he's gotta be bluffing.
Well, let's be sure.
Can't we demand full disclosure of everything they have? Yes, that's one of our options, but Well, let's do it.
Well, why not, Garrett? ( scoffs ) We can move for discovery before the preliminary hearing, we can ask for the lab reports on the murder weapon, and Moretti will have to hand them over to us.
- Good.
- Now, Jason, think.
He's cocky now, he's overconfident.
If we ask for disclosure now, he'll work all the harder to shore up what he's already got.
But if we wait for the preliminary Now, let's not play games with this.
There's too much at stake.
I want to know everything they've got before we walk into that hearing.
File the motion.
- Jason? - File it.
Hi.
I just got out of the shower.
How long have you been waiting? About a week.
When you coming back to the houseboat? As soon as Miles is all right.
Did you tell them that we're getting married? Now's not the time for me to break that kind of news to my family.
They've got enough to cope with already.
It's not exactly a straight answer.
Did you or didn't you? You never intended to go through with this, did you? That's not true.
You were just using me to get back at your father.
You're a fine one to talk about using people.
What's wrong, Miss Colby, you get tired of playing the rebel role? Gotta get back to your tiara and glass slippers? Stop it! Can't you understand? I understand everything now! When I first met you I thought you were just a spoiled, little rich girl.
But you're worse than that.
You're just like your father, a Colby through and through.
You're the real user here, Bliss, not me.
I just wanted you to know that I'll be thinking about you in the morning.
Please call as soon as you can.
Sleep well.
How's Wayne doing? The bandages come off his eyes in the morning, but he won't know whether or not the graft's have taken for a week or so.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if he can see again? Sensational.
You know I had very few principles left after you.
Uh-huh.
That's what you need, fewer principles.
I swore when I rehired you it would be business only.
Well, maybe I'll charge you.
That'll make it business.
I don't want to get involved with a married man.
Whoa, that turns me on.
What, that I have principles? No, that I can pretend to be a married man who's making love to you.
You are a married man.
You have still have that piece of paper with your name on it, and Gayle's.
You think like a lawyer.
I am a lawyer.
Why didn't you get a divorce? Oh, if you're not in a hurry, why bother? But now things have changed.
Have they? Monica, I promise you, as soon as Gayle gets back from her tour, I'll talk to her.
As soon as she gets back? Are you walking out on me? I suppose you're walking out on your mother, too, huh? I'll take care of her from now on.
So don't worry.
And I'll pay you back for everything if it takes me 50 years.
Sean, you are family.
Family.
You're like a son to me.
Save the papa power, Zach, for your stepson.
Spiro is not my blood.
You are.
Yeah, and I'm trying to live it down.
I want to get as far away from you as I can.
Go.
We'll talk when you're more yourself.
I won't be around.
I took that offer from Oceanworld.
I'm moving to Florida as soon as I can.
Well, what about the Colby girl? You said you loved her.
You'll abandon her, too? I wouldn't get into that if I were you.
Besides, what do you care? When have you ever cared about anybody's feelings.
When you've lived my years and fought my battles, then you judge me.
Not before.
Now get out.
Get out! ( door slams ) Losing your touch, Zach? Eavesdropping, Spiro? You used to be so good at manipulating people, especially loved ones.
He's not as easy to handle as my mother was, huh? You'd better watch your step.
You'd better watch yours.
You've lost him, Zach.
The old magic's gone.
Even the Colby's seem to be slipping through your fingers.
Not all the Colbys, Spiro.
Not all.
Would you please make sure they're here by five.
No, let's say half past four.
Thank you.
You're early.
The opening is not until tomorrow night.
Oh, I just happened to be passing and saw your light.
( laughs ) That's a likely story.
The truth will only embarrass you.
Can I interest you in some supper? Oh, thank you, but I still have too much to do here.
Oh, my second disappointment.
What was the first? Well, I just came through the new wing.
You didn't like it? Oh, it's splendid, but I miss something.
Uh, yes.
Your Matisse.
Correction, your Matisse.
I've had it taken down.
It's being returned to you.
But you wanted that painting almost as much as I want you.
It's no good, Zach, I'm going back to Jason.
You never left him.
Even so.
He doesn't deserve you, Sabella.
He can't look inside your soul the way I can.
He can't see the fire burning there, but I can.
I can.
It's no good, Zach.
I know what I want and it isn't this.
It's over between us.
Not till I say so.
Oh, you can spot an easy target a mile off, can't you? Does it really do so much for your ego? Turning on a woman this hungry for love? No more hungry than I.
Oh, stop fighting, Ms.
Sabella.
I adore you.
And I'm going to have you.
Please, go away.
Leave me alone.
All right.
All right, you won't have me.
At least have the painting.
Not even the painting.
The painting I bought for you will remain in the new wing where all the world will see it.
Where you will see it every day of your life and be reminded of how much you are loved.
You owe me that much.
Then how do I explain it to Jason? He knows that I was outbid.
How do I explain it? Oh, you'll think of something.
All right.
The Matisse stays but only because I owe you.
That's what I shall be reminded of every time I look at it, that my debt is paid.
I'll remember that tomorrow night, when I see it back where it belongs.
Look, things have changed since I invited you to the opening.
Please, stay away tomorrow night.
Our account is cleared.
Please, leave me alone.
You owe me this and more, much more.
One day I'll collect everything and you will pay gladly.
Yes, I know.
I-- Yeah, well, I'll turn it over to R & D and see what they think of it.
Fair enough? Yep.
I'm sorry to disturb you while you're working.
Sharon, uh, hold my calls, please.
I've been down at the newspaper office all morning going through what they quaintly call 'The Morgue' and I've found a very exciting discovery.
Have a look.
I thought you'd be up to your neck getting stuff for your opening tonight.
No, that's all under control.
These are copies of articles printed several years ago.
I think they can help us with Miles.
Oh, yes, when I was fighting the city - on that offshore drilling.
- Mm-hmm.
You won, the loser was the then deputy City Attorney, John Moretti.
He was younger then but just as vicious.
Look at him shaking his fist at you on your first day's drilling.
Jason: Yeah, I'd almost forgotten that.
Sable: Well, obviously that little weasel hadn't, which is why he's trying to pin a murder on our son.
And you may be right, but he's not breaking any laws, - not yet.
- But it's ammunition.
Isn't this enough to get him thrown off the case? He's biased.
Look what I've underlined.
"Witnesses quote Moretti as vowing to get Jason Colby.
" "Moretti accuses Colby of buying City Council votes.
" He's not a judge, Sable, he's a prosecutor.
But, isn't this enough to get him disqualified? Ah I'm afraid not.
Not yet.
It might come in handy, though, if he pushes this indictment too far.
We've got to get this little rat stopped in his tracks before he ruins our son's life.
You remind me of a tigress defending her cub.
But I don't know anything about the law, and I can't fight this by myself.
You won't be by yourself.
( knocking on door ) Yeah? Thought you could use an update on your friend, Moretti.
I had a meeting with him.
I don't recall asking for your help.
Wait, it was his idea.
It gave me a chance to look at his tactics though, for what it's worth.
Look, I'm gonna tell you anyway.
What's is this, some fatherly advice? No, brotherly.
Of course.
Moretti's grasping at straws.
- I didn't do it, okay? - Well, I know that.
But he's got something.
He's too sure of himself.
And we've got to be ready to shoot him down at your preliminary hearing.
I believe Garrett knows what he's doing.
Well, look, Miles, you can use me as a sounding board.
We can go over everything that happened that night between you and Mahoney.
- Forget it, will you? - Oh, come on, Miles.
Maybe we'll come up with something.
A witness you haven't thought of yet anything.
What is all this? An opportunity to make yourself feel better for screwing up my life? Damn it, Miles, I'm your brother.
Doesn't that mean anything to you? When are you gonna get that chip off your shoulder? Hi, Bliss.
What's going on? I'm thinking of redoing my room.
Where should I hang this? Um anywhere, darling.
- Preferably facing the wall.
- ( laughs ) - Mother - Hehe.
I'm sorry.
I really do want to help you.
I'm quite good at this sort of thing.
I know.
And when we finish the room can you tell me how to change my whole life? Oh, it's that bad, is it? Go on, tell me all about it.
It's Sean.
Maybe he was using me at first, but in the end I was using him.
I was only gonna marry him to hurt daddy.
Is that true? That doesn't sound like you.
Well, that's what he said.
That's just because he doesn't know you.
Well, I guess I never knew him.
How could I love someone so much and know him so little? Oh, you know, that happens all the time.
It's lucky you found out so soon.
Maybe I'll leave the walls bare.
Sleep on a mattress on the floor like a monk or a monkess.
You will meet somebody else who's wonderful.
And then we'll have the most wonderful wedding that this house has ever seen.
You'll walk down the aisle on your father's arm - One big happy family - Mm-hm.
How can you say that after everything you and daddy are going through? You're getting a divorce and talking to me about marriage? Oh, darling.
Life is full of ups and downs, and I think your father and I are on the way up again, but we are a family, not happy at the moment, but we're all pulling together now to help Miles.
And nothing is going to break us apart, nothing and nobody.
Divorce papers? I just took my ex-husband to the airport.
How did you know? I was sitting in that same stool yesterday.
It took me two double Scotches before I could open those papers.
And today? Today.
Tequila Sunrise, hehe.
I'm Brinda, from New York, in case you couldn't guess.
I'm Frankie, from a lot of places.
You'll feel terrific tomorrow.
A quickie divorce means a quickie recovery.
I'm afraid it won't be so easy for the man I just divorced.
He's bitter.
At least you're out from under him.
Other way around, he's out from under me.
Don't worry about him.
He won't give you a second thought.
Men.
They step all over us and we stand there and take it like a punching bag.
We let them use us, then it's, uh, 'Nice while it lasted, babe.
See you around.
' You know the routine.
Do you think we're always the victims? What about women who use men? It's a man's world, honey.
Some women are heartless.
I know a woman who married a man so she had a husband to hide behind because she was in love with another man.
A married man, of course.
Did her husband know about it, going in? More or less.
But he was a good man and she used him.
Maybe she even ruined his life before she divorced him.
Don't believe that, honey.
She did him a favor.
She gave him back his freedom.
You certainly don't wallow in guilt.
People who feel guilty never get what they want.
Are you still in love with that married guy? I guess I'm not fooling anybody, am I? Yes, I'm in love with him.
I think I always have been.
Does he love you? He wants to marry me.
So what's the problem? ( sighs ) His wife.
Must be some terrific marriage.
Help the guy end the agony.
Life's too short.
I mean, how many cracks do you get at the real thing? This could be your last chance.
Go for it.
Uh, Henderson, please trying my call to Mexico.
Let me know when it comes in.
Thank you.
I just wanted to make sure you were coming to the opening tonight.
Well, you're being very friendly.
What did I do to deserve this? Ah, please help me, Connie.
I admit that I was wrong to fight you on Jeff's money now I want to make up for it.
I want to mend my ways.
You mean mend your ways back to Jason's bed.
I just want to bring us all together again.
Ooh, you can bring us all together quickly.
Divorce Jason.
I'm sure that nothing could make you happier.
( giggles ) Nothing would make him happier.
Don't be too sure.
Whatever I've done, I've always been a loving wife.
Always? Always.
I pride myself on that.
Well, Sable, you know what they say about pride.
No.
I won't let you provoke me anymore.
The invitation stands for tonight.
Come, or don't, as you like.
Excuse me, Mrs.
Patterson, Mr.
Palmer just buzzed.
Your call to Mexico has gone through.
Line four.
Thank you.
( sighs ) Excuse me, Sable.
Of course.
Yes, operator.
Francesca? Frankie: I think I'm still in shock, but I went through with it.
Connie: It must be very painful but at least it's-- it was fast.
Frankie: They don't call these 'quickie divorces' for nothing.
Frankie: Anyway, it's official now.
Frankie: You're speaking to the ex-lady Langdon.
Oh, you scheming little Connie: How long will you be down there? Frankie: A couple of weeks.
I need the time away.
Oh, Frankie, I've handled you all wrong.
But I know how to deal with you now.
Moretti's lying through his teeth.
It was a fist fight.
Mahoney tried to cut me up with a broken bottle, but I never used anything but my fists.
I broke one, remember? Well, then his talk about a murder weapon is a bluff.
I hope to God it is.
Maybe I should've broken both hands.
Miles, I believe you.
But wasn't there anything else that happened after you left the bar, any place else you went? Oh, dad, come on, I told you.
Home.
I've been over this with Garrett a dozen times.
We've gotta talk about this, don't you understand? Jeff wants to talk about it, you want to talk about it.
Can't the home team let up even a little? Look, we've had our troubles but you're my son.
I promise you, whatever comes down, I'll stand by you.
Believe me.
Do you? Yes.
Good.
I'd feel a whole lot better if I knew you and mom were getting together.
Ah Are you? Now you're in trouble.
That's all we're thinking about now.
Maybe something good will come out of this mess after all.
Thank you for coming to my office, daddy.
My pleasure, baby.
A very snazzy layout.
Are you afraid if you came over to Colby Towers I'd lock you up at your old job again? No, just afraid Miles might walk in.
I don't want him to hear what I have to say.
Well, you don't have any doubts about him.
I don't think he killed that man but I'm scared, daddy.
You know how Miles and I have always been able to read each other's minds almost? Yes.
When I spoke with him I could sense that-- I don't know, that he was holding something back.
You're worried about him, of course, we all are.
No, it's not just that.
What then? I don't know.
But I know there's something.
Sable: Isn't it lovely? We're so fortunate.
Art Collection Guide: Mrs.
Colby had been trying for months to acquire it.
First time on the market it 20 years.
It was quite a surprise when we received it.
Have you seen the new Potter? Follow me.
Isn't that the Matisse you were trying to get? - I thought somebody outbid you.
- I knew you'd be surprised.
My competition donated it.
Isn't that marvelous? that's some donation.
And, uh, who is 'Anonymous'? It's someone who wishes to remain just that.
- Well, I expect you can trust me.
- I gave my word.
Just tax reasons, or something, I don't know.
Well, don't you think I know how to keep my mouth shut? He or she was adamant.
You wouldn't want me to betray a confidence, would you? - Certainly not on my account.
- Oh, look.
Now there is my favorite architect, Henri Grabow.
I'd like you to meet him.
I have been talking to him about designing our new beach house.
What beach house? Well, we've outgrown our old one.
I thought we might give it to Jeff and Fallon as a sort of wedding present.
They deserve a bit of privacy on the weekends, don't they? You're being very generous.
I meant what I said.
I'll do anything it takes to keep us Colbys all together.
We can't change any of the real estate holdings until we establish the community property-- I would like you to meet him.
Monica, would you do the honors? Excuse me, Henry, Jason.
Jason: How do you do? I'm Mr.
Colby.
I thought that we had agreed that you weren't coming here tonight? Oh, surely, you can't deny me the pleasure of seeing my painting-- our painting, on the night of its debut? It's not ours.
You insisted on giving it to me, therefore, it's mine, and please don't be surprised to see it listed as anonymous.
Call me anything you like, as long as you call me.
( laughs ) Please, Zach, I am begging you.
Jason's here.
Don't do anything that would make him jealous tonight.
- Oh, Mr.
Powers.
- Ah, Mrs.
Patterson.
I didn't expect to find you here.
Zach is an ardent collector of art, Connie.
Yes, yes, I understand he collects many things.
From shipping contracts to, uh, beautiful women.
My two favorite occupations.
Beautiful women and, uh, profitable business.
What's he doing here? Dad, we got company.
Good evening.
This is a private event, what are you doing here? I'm just here as an interested observer.
What do you want? Why are you here? This is your man, Marshal, Jeff Colby.
- What? - Jeff? You're under arrest, Mr.
Colby.
Arrest, what for? What's the charge? Policeman: For the murder of Captain Nicos Lavados.
Jason: You can't do that.
You know damn well Lavados was killed in Greece.
- You have no jurisdiction here.
- This isn't my case, but Mr.
Cornfeld is a Federal Marshal and you'll find that he knows the procedure.
We have a request from the Greek government for your son's extradition, Mr.
Colby.
Ah, those won't be necessary.
Somebody do something.
You have the right to remain silent.
If you choose not to remain silent, anything you say and do can be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to speak to an attorney and have that attorney present during questioning.
If you so desire, and cannot afford one, an attorney will be appointed for you without charge before questioning.
Do you understand each of these rights - I've explained to you? - Yes.
Do you wish to give up the right to remain silent? No.
Do you wish to give up the right to speak to an attorney and have him present during questioning? - No.
- That's a cheap shot, Moretti.
You could have read him his rights in private.
You're just doing this to humiliate him.
Wasn't once enough, Moretti? Well, apparently not for you.
Two murders, two arrests.
- Why here? Why tonight? - Maybe so the world can see what the Colbys are really like for a change.
You will weep to remember the day you started this with me, I promise you that.
I'm gonna have a field day.
I'm gonna nail both your sons for murder, and then I'm gonna nail the kingpin, the great Jason Colby himself for conspiracy.
