Dynasty s06e24 Episode Script

KRYSTLE: Blake.
- Hello, darling.
You able to get in touch with that man? - He's in the library, waiting for you.
- Good, thank you, darling.
I told him it was urgent.
That you'd called ahead and expected him to be here.
- How was the wedding? - It was beautiful.
I'll tell you all about it in a couple of minutes.
I've missed you.
I'll be waiting for you upstairs.
- Ah, Mr.
Carrington.
- Mr.
Hall.
Did you have any luck? Were you able to find her? Well, it's not quite that easy.
I know, it's not that easy.
That's why I hired you.
You're one of the best private investigators in town, aren't you? But I am not a magician, Mr.
Carrington.
You want to track down a woman whose name we don't know and who hasn't been seen in well over 20 years.
Yes, that's what I want you to do.
That's what you get paid to do.
But we don't even know if she's still in Denver, sir.
[SlGHS.]
Well, look, if you don't think you can find her, you tell me right now and I'll get someone who can.
I'll find her.
I just need some more time.
Mr.
Hall, you don't seem to understand, we don't have more time.
Now, that judge is gonna come in with a verdict in two days.
Unless we can find the woman that was with my brother that day, I'm gonna lose.
I do understand, sir.
And I am doing everyhing I can.
- All right, what about the other one? - You mean, Franklin? Yes, the drunk who testified against me.
We don't have an address yet, but we're still searching.
All right.
Now, you check every flop-house.
Every saloon and every shelter in Denver.
- And you find him.
- Yes, sir.
When you look into the flames, Alexis, what do you see? Blake at the stake.
I see victory rising from the ashes.
Sweet, hot victory.
Oh, to victory.
- To $125 million.
- Mm.
What are you gonna do with that money, Ben? Well, I think I could get used to living like this.
- A penthouse, valet, chauffeur.
- Hmm.
What about me? How about a tiny token of your appreciation for me? After all, I made it all happen.
And you have my undying gratitude.
And how about your abject apology? - For what? - For ever doubting me.
I told you that you could trust me, and I proved that I was right.
Trust you? The same woman who lied on that witness stand? I'd rather trust a rattlesnake, at least they give you warning.
[SCOFFS.]
I lied for you, Ben.
And just remember, if it weren't for me, you'd be in the Australian outback.
Cold and broke.
Blake? Are you all right? I couldn't sleep.
I keep thinking about that hearing.
I just can't seem to get it out of my mind.
I'm sorry, darling.
That's terrible.
Can I get you something? Some hot tea? No, thank you.
- You told the truth on that stand.
- Yeah, and they didn't believe me.
[SlGHS.]
Darling, you know if we lose this case, it could be devastating.
Not just financially but It could severely damage my name, my family.
We've only got two days.
Just two days left to break through that web of lies that they put together.
Everyhing I've fought for all my life, it could be all gone in two day's time.
Blake, Ben said that you were with that woman the day of the fire.
No, that's another lie.
It was Ben.
I know that, and you know that, but So does that woman he was with.
- You've got to find that woman.
- I'll find her.
If it takes the rest of my life, I'll find her.
STEVEN: I can't believe they'd do this to you.
You're the best candidate they've got.
- You're bright, you're creative.
- Gay.
- That should have nothing to do with it.
- But it does.
You know the truth, Steven? - I'm glad it happened.
- Bart, what are you talking about? Did you accept any kickbacks? Ever commit a felony? - You know better than that.
- So do they.
I know you, I know the kind of job you could do for this state.
Take a look at me, Steven.
What do you see? - A friend.
- Wanna know what I see? If none of this had ever come out, if I'd stayed here, run for the senate? A carbon copy of my father.
- Well, now I can be my own man.
- And at what cost? Not only to you, but to your whole family.
I'm gonna get back at Adam for this.
I own him a favour, Steven.
Don't you see that I've been living a lie? I've been hiding behind one excuse after another.
If I'd stayed here and run for the senate, been elected, I'd still be hiding.
Forget about Adam's motives.
Look at the result, I am a free man.
And I've never been happier in my life.
I've been offered a job at the Environmental Protection Agency.
- Are you gonna take it? - Well, it's the kind of work I believe in.
I'm getting used to uphill battles, and that will certainly be one, huh? - When are you leaving? - As soon as I finish packing.
- Come with me? - No, no, Bart, I can't.
- Oh, family? - Yeah, family.
Also this is where I belong.
I understand.
What the hell are you doing here? - We've gotta talk.
- Well, of course we have.
That awful fog grounded me.
So you must tell me all about Fallon's wedding.
Fallon will send you the pictures.
I'm not here to discuss the wedding.
I wanna know who that woman is.
- And where she is.
- Woman? What woman? The woman who was with my brother the day my mother died.
Look, Blake, the hearing is over.
You lost.
Now, I've missed my daughter's wedding.
Since you're here, you might as well tell me about it.
You will do anything, won't you? You'll even use your daughter's wedding to avoid the truth.
Frankly, I'll do anything to avoid dealing with you.
All right, you wanna fight on that level? Fine.
Two weeks ago you were a woman begging me to take you back.
Begging? I have never begged for anything or anyone in my life.
You sat on that couch, champagne glass in hand, sincerely confessing your undying love.
I have never heard of anything so absurd.
Either tell about my daughter's wedding or leave, because you bore me.
It must be very confusing for you.
Trying to separate the truth from your lies.
Now which was the lie? Two weeks ago in this office? Or on the stand in that courtroom when you perjured yourself? Or were they both lies? If I lied, you taught me how to do it.
You made some vows to me once.
To love, honour and cherish me till death do us part.
Well, you lied to me then, so consider us even.
And you're doing all this, perjuring yourself under oath, risking everyhing you have, because I wouldn't fall back into your clutches, is that it? Alexis, I stopped loving you a lifetime ago.
And no matter how many times you lie, nothing is ever going to change that.
And I stopped loving you too.
You threw me out of your life and my children's lives.
You left me for dead.
Well, I'm back now.
And I don't care how long it takes, or what it takes.
I shall ruin you.
[lNTERCOM BUZZES.]
- Yes? MAN: Call for Mr.
Carrington.
And I don't run an answering service.
- Yes? - Mr.
Carrington.
I've got news about Franklin.
- Oh? What? - We found him.
- And he wants to talk to you.
- Uh, where? Meet you at your office, take you to him.
Good.
I'll see you then.
Good news? No.
You were saying something about, uh, ruining me? Well, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disappoint you.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES.]
Mr.
Carrington.
- Where'd you find him? - A cheap hotel downtown.
- He's waiting there.
- Fine, let's go.
Mr.
Carrington, uh, Senator Fallmont's in your office.
He's been waiting for more than half an hour.
Hmm.
- Could be important.
Be right with you.
- Okay.
Hello, Buck.
Oh, Blake.
Look, I know you're busy out there-- Oh, no, no, no.
I've got a few minutes.
Sit down, won't you? Well, how's it going, Buck? Well, pretty good.
I was just sitting here thinking, Blake Carrington and Buck Fallmont never had anything in common.
Except their antagonism.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Yes, but we do have now, don't we? - Our sons.
I just don't know what to do.
Bart is leaving, turning his back on all the dreams that we had for him.
I see nothing gay in the life he's going to lead, but Maybe not, but it is his life, isn't it? I just can't let him go.
Yeah, but you can't stop him either, because if you do, you're gonna lose him.
Ah.
Believe me, I have been there.
But the plans that we had for him, Blake, they didn't stop at the senate, you know that.
Did you ever sit down and ask him what he thought about those plans? Certainly.
He never objected, ever.
Not once.
Well, maybe he was afraid.
So, what do I do? Sit back and watch him throw away his future? Bart's a strong young man.
I think he's going to be just fine.
I do too.
Actually, it's Emily I'm worried about.
She's just devastated about all this.
You know, I remember when l first was elected to the state house, I had to move to Denver.
Emily stayed behind with the boys in Colorado Springs.
- You know, I think that was-- - No, no, wait.
I believe Emily's gonna have to face the fact that they're no longer boys.
They're grown men.
They're gonna have to make their own decisions, and their own mistakes.
Just the way my sons do.
Look, uh, you get back to your people.
I just, uh-- Well, I just wanted to thank you for the talk.
It, well, it helps.
Any time you wanna talk, Buck, I'm here.
Adam, do you realise what you've done? Hold that for me, please? What are you talking about? - I'm talking about Bart Fallmont.
- Oh.
Your intimate friend.
You destroyed his career.
He could have been a great senator.
Ha, ha.
Shades of Camelot? Steven, Camelot's a dream.
I deal in reality.
The reality is I got a pipeline through Colorado, that was my job.
No matter who you trample on to get it? When you grow up, you'll realise the pipeline was worth it.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR.]
- Hello, Franklin.
- Mr.
Carrington, come in, please.
I'd ask you to sit down, but nothing's too clean here.
Well, we're not here to sit and chat, we wanna hear one thing from you.
Why didn't you tell the truth in that courtroom? When you're a drunk, Mr.
Carrington, truth only comes out of a bottle.
And then it's usually paid for by somebody else.
So you were paid to lie.
I suspected that.
Mr.
Carrington, I'm a family man like you.
Except the only thing I ever gave my family was trouble.
I thought I'd make up for it by But the money all went on booze.
They never saw a dime of it.
Are you telling me you want me to pay you to tell the truth? Oh, no.
No, Mr.
Carrington.
Look around you, there's no bottles.
I've been sober for two days, and this time I'm gonna stay sober.
By God, for once in my life, I'm gonna tell the truth.
You just tell me when and where.
All right, Mr.
Franklin.
That's what I wanted to hear.
All right, now, "when" is two days from now, "where" is the county courthouse.
There are gonna be people in that courtroom that are gonna be in for one hell of a surprise.
Oh, for God's sake, Mother, I'm not accusing you of anything.
I'm asking you.
Forget the courtroom.
This is between you and me.
Is what you said about Dad true, or not? Everyhing I said was true.
Everyhing.
Your father was my first lover.
We were engaged.
- And the rest? - Look, Steven.
I know that you do love Blake, after all he is your father.
What about me? What about the loyalty and respect that you owe me? - That's not the point.
- Oh, but I think it is the point.
Tell me something, have you gone to Blake? - You asked him to tell you the truth? - I will.
And then what? You'll have to choose between us, won't you? And that's going to be difficult for you, you are on his board of directors.
I didn't ask to be in this position.
Mother, it's not that I don't love you, I do love you.
And I love you too, Steven.
But I wonder if you wouldn't prefer me to be the sort of mother who bakes brownies, and sets the table.
And greeted her family with, "Have you had a nice day?" That's not what I'm talking about.
Well, I've never been that kind of wife, or that kind of mother.
And if you really love me, Steven, then you accept me for who and what I am.
You will give me the same kind of love and respect that you give your father, is that clear? [PLAYS PlANO SOFTLY.]
[PHONE RlNGS.]
- Hello? - Mother, it's me.
Jackie? Where are you? I just wanted to let you know that I'm all right.
- I want you to come home.
- Don't start again, Mother.
Jackie.
What do you want me to do? The last time you called, you hung up before I could find out where you were.
All I am asking is that you come home and then we can talk about it.
About what? We talked about my father for years, and it was all lies.
If I come home again, it will just be more of the same.
- No, I promise it won't.
- Don't promise me anything, Mother.
I just-- I need time to sort things out for myself.
- But we can do that together.
- I can't.
Jackie, I insist that you tell me where you are.
I'm sorry.
Jackie.
Oh, we can talk, Jackie.
[SOBS.]
How did you get in here? Your secretary was away from his desk.
Will you have him taken out and beheaded? Oh, you better leave before I have you thrown out.
Throw out your own sister? I told you, Cassie, I don't wanna see you, or have anything more to do with you.
Oh, but I've missed you, Alexis.
And we have so much to talk about.
Now that I own that atrocious piece of fiction that you wrote, we have nothing to talk about.
Yes, you may own my manuscript of Sister Dearest, but it's your piece of fiction I want to talk about, darling.
Your testimony on the stand.
You weren't with Blake the day of the fire.
Really? And how would you know that? Because I've gone back in my diaries and checked the dates, darling.
You were with me.
We spent the entire day shopping in Chicago at Marshall Field.
[LAUGHS.]
In fact, we didn't find out about the fire until we flew back to Denver that night.
So, you see, I can still hurt you unless you play the game my way.
Well, it's something to think about, isn't it? [SlGHS.]
Damn it, Ben.
Where are you? We've got a mile and a half behind us of flat ground, no complications.
Now, the foothills.
We'll hit granite.
- Do you agree? - Yeah.
I agree, you'll hit granite.
Clay, you know explosives, you know the environment.
I need a hole, I don't need a cave-in.
I need you.
- You're offering me a job, Dex? - Well, you're the man for it.
Freezing my tail off in the winter, frying in the summer to slip a pipeline through the Rockies Not exactly my idea of a good time.
- So, uh, how's the leg? - Better.
I threw away that cane.
It's not all that much better yet, is it? What are you gonna do, Clay, sit at home? - Watching quiz shows? - Ha, ha.
Look, I need someone I can trust.
How about it? All right.
[SlGHS.]
On one condition.
When it comes to the explosives, I make the decisions.
On one other condition.
Anything you do, you let me know first, otherwise it's your ballgame.
Well, when you put it that way, how can I refuse? You can't.
We got a deal? - Deal.
- All right.
Look, I gotta get back to the site.
I've got some pipe coming in.
- We'll talk later.
- Right.
Thanks for lunch, boss.
No problem.
Next time brown-bag it.
Thank you.
Amanda? Dex, I'd much prefer to be alone.
[DEX SlGHS.]
I, uh I thought that we might talk, okay? Well, actually I think it's a bit late.
- Oh, it's really never too late.
- It is now.
Amanda, whatever you might think, I'm still your friend.
- I care.
- Like you used to care, right? Leave me alone, Dex.
I couldn't help overhearing, Amanda.
- You were pretty rough on him.
- That is really none of your business.
In fact, what I do is nobody's business.
I'm a good listener.
As I've got absolutely nothing to say to you, what difference could that possibly make? Why don't you give me a chance someday, Amanda.
You might be surprised at the difference I could make.
You've come to offer your sympathy? For what? I know you and l have had our differences-- Oh, come on, we've had more than differences.
Please, this isn't easy for me.
I've come to apologise for what happened in the courtroom.
Well, I'm sure my father will be glad to hear that.
- Is that why you're here? - I don't wanna see you hurt.
And I don't wanna see Blake hurt either.
You could have fooled me, Claudia.
You did a real hatchet job on him.
I was subpoenaed to testify, just they way you were.
And Ben's lawyer twisted my words, just like he twisted yours.
With one difference.
I hated saying what I had to say.
You were chomping at the bit.
I don't believe this sympathy.
So unless you've got something else to say, I've got work to do.
You think I'm your enemy, don't you? Well, I'm not.
You and I have something in common.
Adam.
He leaked that story to the press about Bart Fallmont.
I know he did, it's just like him.
And Bart's not the only one that he hurt, he hurt me too.
And he's gonna go after you unless we stop him.
- We? - Adam is up to something big.
And it's gonna take more than us to stop him.
Claudia, it sounds like you've learned a great deal from Adam.
Oh, Steven.
I'm gonna deal with him my way.
Face-to-face.
Well, fine.
But with or without your help, I'm gonna see that he pays for what he's done to me.
And I suggest that neither you, nor any of the other Carringtons try to stop me.
- Hawkins.
- Yeah? Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you got fired.
- Dexter hire you back on? - No.
I came to pick up something I left behind.
Oh, well, see you around.
- Dexter.
- Oh, Blake, checking up on me? Oh, I always like to keep an eye on my business operations.
I understand that you've hired Clay Fallmont.
News does travel fast.
Any objections? No, no, no, from what I hear he's the best demolitions man in the state.
Yes, he is.
He got out to the site a couple of hours ago.
Look, Blake, just in case you hear some other news.
Yes, I did see Amanda.
At La Mirage.
Had a brief encounter.
BLAKE: I believe we can safely put all that behind us for the moment.
It's a good idea for you to move out here.
[BLAKE & DEX TALKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY.]
BLAKE: Let's take a look at your drawing.
- Clay's out at that hill site.
- Dex.
DEX: Whoa.
[BLAKE PANTlNG.]
- Are you all right? - Yeah, yeah.
Why the devil didn't you get this load checked when it came in? I checked everyhing.
Look, Blake, I owe you one.
Thanks.
You're late.
I wasn't expecting company.
- What are you doing here? - I'm waiting for you.
I thought I'd make myself comfortable.
Why don't you come here and join me.
I feel safer where I am, thank you.
Now, Adam, when did you ever worry about being safe? Come here.
- What's on your mind, Claudia? - I've missed you.
I'm sorry I've moved out.
And I wanna make it up to you.
- What do you want? - Oh, Adam, I think that's obvious.
I'm your wife, and I want you.
You're my wife who moved out, who is now living at La Mirage.
- You're right, it was a bad idea.
- And I thrive on bad ideas, Claudia.
You just don't happen to be one of them anymore.
I'm gonna get myself a drink.
And when I get back, I don't wanna see you here.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
I wanna congratulate Crenshaw.
The hearing isn't exactly over yet.
Aren't you being a little premature? Ben, faint hearts never won.
And I seldom lose.
- Mr.
Crenshaw.
- Ah.
Mrs.
Colby.
This is the day we've been waiting for.
Yes, it is.
It certainly is.
I just want to tell you you've done an absolutely brilliant job.
Well, thank you very much.
As they told me in law school, in cases like this, you have to have a little confidence, assurance.
And no reluctance whatsoever to go for the jugular.
Then you just watch your step as the witnesses expire around you one by one.
ALEXlS: Ha, ha.
- You learned your lesson well.
You've probably heard this before, Mrs.
Colby.
But, uh, you have, um-- How shall I put it? - A very beguiling smile.
- Thank you.
I hope it doesn't leave your lovely face when Colbyco gets my bill.
Oh, no, I shall smile all day and probably for the rest of the week.
Ha-ha-ha.
We'd better get inside.
What the hell are you doing here? Just curiosity, darling.
That's all.
Don't forget what it did to the cat.
[REPORTERS CLAMOURlNG.]
I have no comment.
I'm sorry, l-- Darling, why don't you go inside.
I'll be with you in a moment.
- Blake-- - No, no, no, go on.
Ben, if I were you, I'd ask Alexis to buy me a ticket back to Australia.
Blake, I don't think even you can buy your way out of this one.
I won't have to.
By the way, Alexis.
What is the penalty for perjury? Perjury? I don't know what you're talking about.
I have reopened this case to allow additional testimony.
Decision will be rendered following the close of all testimony.
- Mrs.
Davis? - Yes, Your Honour.
The defence recalls Mr.
Franklin to the stand.
Objection, Your Honour.
Overruled, Mr.
Crenshaw.
Let's get on with this.
[CROWD MURMURlNG.]
Mr.
Franklin, I remind you you're still under oath.
You testified that it was Ben Carrington who was in the field with you on the day of the fire.
Now, do you wish to change that testimony? Mr.
Franklin? Uh, me and Me and Marie had only been married six months.
You make promises, you know? Mr.
Franklin.
On the day of the fire-- I've never loved nobody like I loved that woman.
The question to you, Mr.
Franklin, is-- She was the only one who ever had any faith in me.
All last night I kept thinking how I failed her.
Mr.
Franklin.
Marie really loved me.
I loved Marie so.
She-- She says she still loves me.
[FRANKLlN SOBBlNG.]
FRANKLlN: I love her.
I apologise, Your Honour.
Remove this witness.
FRANKLlN: Marie really loves me.
[SOBBlNG.]
- She-- - Come with me, sir.
Mrs.
Davis, how dare you waste this court's time by bringing a witness in this condition into this courtroom.
Your Honour, I had no idea.
If you would grant us a continuance.
I have reached a decision.
This court has heard conflicting testimony from plaintiff and defendant.
Not only in regard to the circumstances surrounding Ellen Carrington's tragic death.
But as to the relationship of each son to his father.
Did Blake Carrington exert undue influence on Tom Carrington? Resulting in the deceased excluding his younger son from his estate? Did Blake Carrington lie to his father concerning Ellen Carrington's death for the sole purpose of evading his own responsibility in that death? And to further enhance the estrangement between Ben Carrington and his father? In this court's opinion, the evidence supports the conclusion that he did.
It is the judgement of this court that Benjamin Carrington be awarded one-fourth of his father's estate.
This court is adjourned.
[CROWD CHATTERlNG.]
I'm sorry.
It is not over, Blake.
We can't let Alexis get away with this.
How does it feel to be a multimillionaire? BEN: Pretty good.
- Ha, ha.
And as for you, you were worth every penny.
At these prices, I should hope so.
[ALL CHATTERlNG.]
Blake, make it a cashier's cheque, will you? We wouldn't want it to bounce.
God, how I hate that woman.
REPORTER: How are you gonna spend your money? - Got any ideas? - You going to help him, Mrs.
Colby? Oh, it isn't the money that's important.
It's the fact that justice has been done.
How do you feel about the other woman? Still believe your husband? - Are you gonna appeal? - You're damn right I'm gonna appeal.
There's a woman out there somewhere who knows exactly where Ben Carrington was that day.
And I'm going to find her.
Hello, Emily.
This was a bad idea.
You were the one who insisted we meet.
I'm talking about the trial.
I heard the news on the radio this morning.
I kept hoping you'd drop the charges, work it out between you and Blake.
But you didn't.
And then I kept praying the decision would be different.
- That the judge wouldn't believe you.
- Well, he did, Emily.
One hundred and 25 million dollars worth.
And a man's life.
His reputation.
Blake doesn't deserve this.
And I've got to tell the truth.
We were the ones that were having the affair.
You were with me the day your mother died.
Now, what will you do, Emily? Call the papers, grant an interview? Tell the world that Buck Fallmont's young wife was sleeping with Ben Carrington? That even though you knew the truth, you allowed the hearing to go on? I'll say what I have to.
Good for you.
Then-- Then what will you say to your husband? - Your sons? - Ben, please.
How much more do you think your family can take, Emily? Well, Bart's already lost out in any political career he might have dreamed of.
Buck's holding onto his with his fingernails.
Do you think your family can stand another scandal? But what about Blake? What we're doing to him? Emily.
Emily, if you tell the truth about what happened between us, you'll not only ruin your reputation, but maybe your marriage as well.
Now, is Blake Carrington worth that? Here's to the sweet smell of success.
Feel it, taste it.
Nothing tastes as sweet.
- Mm.
- Ha, ha.
What do you suppose Blake is drinking now? Oh, hemlock.
Forget about Blake.
Let's talk about you.
The public you.
- I have great plans for you, Ben.
- Alexis.
I've been waiting 20 years for this moment.
Let me savour it without worrying about what comes next.
Oh, well, that's just the point.
You don't have to worry anymore.
I've got people for you to meet.
Investments.
Right now there's a tract of land outside of Denver, 600 acres.
- We could make a bid.
- Whoa.
Hold on a minute.
One of the sweet things about success is the freedom that comes with it.
I'll make my own choices, even if it means leaving Denver.
Heh.
Leaving Denver? Where would you go? You can't go back to that dust bowl in Australia you came from.
I can, if I choose to.
I was my own man before you rescued me, Alexis.
I'm still my own man, and I don't need directions from you.
Blake stole a big chunk of my life.
I can't get it back, but I can sure make the next chunk miserable for him.
I'm gonna build myself an empire, Alexis.
And then use it to destroy Blake.
We'll do that together.
But first we'll destroy everyhing that he's created in his entire life.
I'll drink to that, again and again and again.
Don, this has to be checked as soon as possible.
Cancel the New York trip.
I want you available around the clock.
- You wanted to see me? - Yes.
Oh, incidentally, this is to be kept absolutely confidential.
- Is that clear? WOMAN: Yes, sir.
I want those figures on my desk within the hour.
And clear your calendar.
This is top priority.
MAN: I'll get right on it.
- What is going on? BARBARA [OVER lNTERCOM.]
: Yes? - Get me Johnson at Denver Federal.
- Yes, sir.
Please tell me what's happening.
Adam, never go into battle without knowing your enemy's strengths.
- And weaknesses.
- What enemy? Audrey, give that to Bennett up on the tenth floor.
Tell him I want a response tonight.
Right.
Oh, I've got those figures on Colbyco's Alaska field.
- Good, we'll go over them later.
- Thank you, Mr.
Carrington.
- Len, check with me in the morning.
- What's all this about Colbyco? Well, the prob-- [lNTERCOM BUZZES.]
Yes, Barbara? I have Mr.
Graham from the far east division.
Good.
Put him on.
Harold, I want you to prepare two charts.
And I want them on my desk first thing in the morning.
The first one is Denver-Carrington's holdings, subsidiaries, divisions.
Everyhing.
Right.
The other chart is Colbyco's I want the same thing.
And I want comparisons and estimates on future development.
Good.
Thank you.
Adam, I want you to personally prepare a report on all of Colbyco's shareholders.
- Every one? - Down to the last dime.
I wanna know exactly how many shares are held by Alexis.
I want a breakdown on every shareholder, whether he holds one share - or a thousand.
- Right.
And I want a list of all of Colbyco's outstanding loans, assets and liabilities.
And projected revenues for the fiscal year.
- Their annual report isn't out yet.
- Get it.
Yes, sir, but I should know why we're doing this.
We're talking about survival.
Survival of the fittest.
In nature, you pick the weakest of the herd, you circle until you're sure, keep them nervous.
- And then you attack.
- Colbyco? Father, Denver-Carrington can't compete with them.
They're bigger, they have more resources.
Somewhere they have a weak spot.
And we've gotta find it.
Is this all about Colbyco, or about Mother? Adam, there isn't room enough anywhere for that woman and me.
And I'm gonna destroy her.
It's what she's been asking for.
And damn it, that's what she's gonna get.
