BLAKE: That's right, Charles.
I've been ordered by the court
to pay my brother 41-and-a-half million dollars.
By today.
No, no, that's just my share of it.
As you can imagine, I had to make some decisions last night.
I want you to liquidate all my holdings in Avery Copper.
Use whatever is left over
to buy as much Denver-Carrington stock as possible.
Yes. We've got to keep the price up.
With the stock selling at this kind of a price,
you know that Alexis is gonna try her damnedest
to grab as much of it as she can.
All right.
Get back to me as soon as there's something to report with. Thank you.
What's going to happen?
I'm not sure, darling.
I think this drop in the stock is just temporary.
The market is bound to stabilise.
But...
As for the money I have to pay my brother, well, that hurts,
but I've handled reversals before.
I better get down to the office.
- This is bound to be a hectic day. - I don't understand.
Why don't you appeal the case in court?
I wanted to appeal,
but the lawyers said that it was gonna take years.
And I can't wait years.
I've got to get my name cleared long before that.
Just as I've got to find that woman
who was with my brother on the day of the fire.
You'll never know how much that helps me.
I don't care if you do think that the price is going to go down.
Just keep on buying Denver-Carrington stock.
And buy it in street names. The less visible we are the better.
I never would have believed it.
Believed what?
That the beautiful girl who showed up from England to marry my brother
would come out of her cocoon and turn into an iron butterfly.
Correction, Ben.
Where business is concerned, I'm a steel butterfly,
reinforced with concrete.
I'll buy that.
Talking of buying, I could buy a lot with that 125 million.
Alexis, I might admire your style,
but I certainly don't like the idea of your spending my money.
[SCOFFS]
May I remind you that you wouldn't have a cent if it weren't for me.
And that 41-and-a-half million belongs to me.
Oh, I remember.
But have you forgotten how you told me that you'd give it up gladly
to get exactly what you've gotten, your revenge on Blake?
The money's mine now, Alexis.
The plans for what I do with it are mine.
And I don't need your advice to tell me how to spend it.
- Where are you going? - I have an appointment across town.
Fine, Ben, that's just fine. But don't try to cross me, will you?
We haven't finished with your brother yet,
and you still need me for that.
Have a nice day.
I have an appointment with Mrs. Colby.
Martin.
It's good to see you again after all this time.
It's rather early in the day, isn't it, Alexis?
For whatever this is all about.
I don't know why we couldn't meet later in your office.
I find my apartment more comfortable and more private.
Want some coffee?
No, thanks.
You are still on Blake's board of directors, aren't you?
Yes, I am.
Good, then I think that you and l should have a little talk.
Do you remember the Palmieri incident in which your brother was involved?
That was years ago.
It's dead and buried.
Ah, but I have the shovel to undo the grave, should I so choose.
In plain English, I'm calling in my marker.
Now, shall we have our little talk?
How do we stand now?
Our situation hasn't improved any.
- What does that mean? - We're down another four points.
Well, we're trying everyhing possible, aren't we?
We're doing our best.
We're buying back as much of our stock as possible.
I appreciate your help. Both of you.
[DOOR OPENS]
Hello, Blake.
Steven. Adam.
Who the hell let you in here?
It's pandemonium in your corridors, your reception room.
Neither of your secretaries even looked up from their troubles.
- So I just walked in. - Why?
To have a brotherly little talk.
Shall we? Talk?
Adam, why don't you and l wait in your office?
All right, say what you have to say, and get out of here.
The word on the street must be true.
That you're having a whole lot of trouble buying up your own stock.
Well, the word on the street is wrong.
Come on, you're talking to me now, big brother.
Look, as of today, I just happen to have a little extra pocket money,
as you know.
And I'd be happy to lend it to you
if you give me a seat, maybe two, on your board of directors.
For you and Alexis.
Oh, we don't have to get into that now.
But that is what you're talking about, isn't it?
You've got the guts enough to come in here
and make that kind of a proposal to me?
- You need the money, don't you? - If I did, I wouldn't use yours.
I try to deal with clean money and decent people.
And that's something that you haven't been
since the day you let Mama die in that fire.
I'd say tell that to the judge.
Except you already have, haven't you, big brother?
Hello, Patrick.
Your table is ready, Mrs. Colburn.
And today for dessert, we have your favourite chocolate mousse pie.
That's wonderful.
Okay, those are fine.
Mr. Bradley. Hello, I'm Amanda Carrington.
Oh, yes, I know.
- Uh, may I sit down? - Of course.
I wanted to congratulate you
on your being made manager of La Mirage.
Well, thank you. It's quite an undertaking.
But I think I'm ready for it.
And I'd like a job here.
I see.
I hear you have an opening in guest relations,
and I think I'd be very well suited for it.
I think you'll have to take that up with your father, not with me.
Mr. Bradley, it's true that my father owns this hotel,
and that makes this very hard for me.
But couldn't you just forget that
and sit down with me and hear what I have to say?
I'm very sorry. I'd like to.
But the fact is we don't have any openings
in guest relations, PR, anything like that.
Really, I am sorry.
Excuse me.
Nothing, thank you.
Hi, Amanda.
It isn't all that easy to be rich, is it?
I don't appreciate your eavesdropping, Clay.
Look, don't get the wrong idea.
I was waiting for my partner to show, and I couldn't help overhearing.
And thinking that I know what it's like too,
having a father who plays ball in the big honcho league.
- Just take a look at me. - Must l?
Oh, come on, Amanda, don't be that sensitive.
I used to be and I got over it.
And you wanna know how? By doing things on my own, for myself.
People disapprove.
Especially my father.
But the important thing is that I'm doing what I want to do.
I can't seem to be able to find anything to do.
Well, maybe that's because you're not trying hard enough.
I mean this isn't the only place in the world you could find a job.
I don't believe in soft cushions.
But, for starters, a little nepotism isn't that bad.
- Your mother-- - What about my mother?
She owns a huge corporation.
Why don't you just ask her to help you out?
Amanda, what's the matter? She is your mother.
I'd rather not discuss my mother.
WALES: Denver-Carrington stock is plummeting, right?
That's the word they're using today.
So today our stock is down. Yes, that's right, Mr. Wales.
You're as honest as ever, Mr. Carrington.
Let's talk a little bit about the trial and the public's confidence in you.
Could all of this sudden bad luck with the stocks
be the result of the trial?
I mean, the things that were said about you in court?
Things that were said about me in court were untrue.
- So you maintain. - So I insist.
Just as I insist that this so-called plummeting of our stock is, uh--
Is just temporary.
I'm fighting it, and I'm gonna win that fight.
Your self-confidence seems rather strong right now.
Yes, it is.
- Are you ready for battle? - More than ready.
Wouldn't you say that history is repeating itself?
I'm referring to the Ted Dinard case several years ago,
when your son Steven's lover died and you were convicted of his death.
The court ruled that that was an accident and you know it.
What I know, and everybody knows,
is you were given the lightest of sentences.
Two years probation.
So in a manner of speaking, you got away with murder then,
and you're getting away with murder again.
You listen to me, Mr. Wales, and you listen well.
I did not murder my mother.
Take this damn machine and get out of here.
Well, uh, tell me, off the record, Mr. Carrington,
is this the uglier side of the man whose picture always appears
on our cover with a smile?
I must tell the art director to do a little touching up
around the lips this time.
You put my picture on the cover of your magazine,
you print one word of this conversation in that magazine,
and I'll have your head.
Do you understand that?
Get out of here.
[lNTERCOM BUZZES]
Yes?
WOMAN [OVER lNTERCOM]: Mrs. Colby just arrived.
She what?
WOMAN: She insisted on waiting in your boardroom.
Good afternoon, Blake.
May I ask what the hell you're doing in here?
Well, you might say that I'm mentally redesigning this boardroom.
And what does that mean?
This wallpaper is absolutely hideous. And this terrible old furniture...
The only word for it is passe.
Well, I think it's just fine.
And this chair.
I think I'd be much more comfortable
with something that doesn't swivel so much.
In case you haven't got the point,
I shall be going between both Denver-Carrington
and Colbyco's boardrooms when both companies belong to me.
Apparently, you don't have a very good memory.
Oh, on the contrary, I have an excellent memory.
You have? Then you must remember the day you sat in this room,
down at that end of the table when you were on the brink
of forcing a merger between Denver-Carrington and Colbyco
and you suddenly crumbled.
And there was no merger.
That was before I developed
the excellent business brain that I have today.
I assure you that that's not going to happen again.
Oh, yes. Yes, I believe it will.
You can't face facts, can you?
You can't admit that you're becoming more and more powerless.
Well, this time there's not going to be any crumbling.
This time it's go for the jugular.
And believe me, Blake, I will.
Garrett Boydston, please. Dominique Deveraux calling.
- Garrett. - Hello, Dominique.
It's good to hear from you.
If you'd come back to L.A., it'd be better.
Garrett, I'm calling you about Jackie.
- Have you seen her? - No. Why?
- Where is she? DOMlNlQUE: I don't know.
She's run away.
What?
DOMlNlQUE: She left and I was hoping she's gone to see you.
She's called from the road three times.
- Where on the road? - She won't say.
Well, she's calling you, that's a good sign.
It means she doesn't want to lose touch.
It's gonna be all right, Dominique.
We'll find her. You know that.
[SlGHS]
I wish I did.
Oh, my God, I wish I did, Garrett.
Where can I find Mr. Dexter?
Thanks.
Hi, Dex.
Alexis. Out slumming?
Oh, no, I just came to see what you're up to.
It's called work. An honest day's work.
Oh, yes, of course, the male mystique.
Out in the field with the boys.
Dirty your hands and cleanse your soul.
- Doing penance? - I'm busy, Alexis.
Not too busy to sign these.
You could have sent them.
Yes, but then I couldn't have visited your little purgatory, could l?
Dex, uh, sorry to interrupt you--
Aha! Out in the field with the boys and the girls.
Some purgatory.
What business is it of yours, lady?
Well, actually it is my business.
You see, I happen to be your absentee co-employer.
The Lex in Lex-Dex.
Jennifer, whatever you have to tell me, can it wait?
Sure. I could wait for you indefinitely, Dex.
How sweet.
She's quite attractive for somebody who works with machines.
I presume that's what she works with.
She does her job, Alexis. She does it well.
I bet she does.
About these papers,
you know I never sign anything without reading them first.
All right, I'll wait. I need them for my lawyer right away.
I'm busy. I'll get them back to you.
By morning.
All right. Have a pleasant evening.
I'm sure you would have done, anyway.
- Alexis. - Yes?
Why did you come out here?
To check up on what you were doing with my millions.
Not to see you, darling.
BLAKE: Good to see you again. - Thank you.
Sit down, won't you?
What brings you to Denver?
Well, I have another appointment with Dominique.
But, uh, Jason did ask me to drop in and touch base with you.
Blake, I hate to bring this up,
but, uh, with your stock dropping this way,
how is that going to affect your commitments with Jason?
Denver-Carrington still has all its assets, they're unchanged.
We're still a multi-billion dollar company, you know.
Oh, I know that. I know.
But, uh, there seems to be some feeling that--
Well, there are moral issues involved here.
Come on, Garrett. Let's get to the point.
Jason Colby didn't ask you to touch base.
He ordered you to come here.
He sent you here to find out
whether that stuff they said about me at the hearing was true or not.
- lsn't that right? - In a way, yes.
Well, I don't have to answer to Jason.
I don't have to answer to you either, for that matter.
I understand your anger, and I'm not judging you.
Blake, you know how much I respect you.
I'm sorry, Garrett.
I shouldn't have jumped on you that way.
It's just that this thing has gotten to me.
I don't care how much money it costs, I don't care how long it takes,
I've got to get my name clear.
You went to see Blake this morning.
I want to know why.
- Did you have me followed, Alexis? - I don't have to.
I have contacts all over this city.
So, what did you have to discuss with him
that you couldn't talk to me about?
That's my business.
Oh, no, no, Ben.
It's my business too, if we're going to trust each other.
Alexis, we've never really trusted one another.
We never will. So why start now?
I know you. You know me.
And you think that eventually
one of us is going to double-cross the other, is that it?
It may come to that, yeah.
Well, in that case, I think you'd better include me out of this partnership.
Take your little act on the road and get out of my apartment.
While your spies are tagging along,
in Rolls-Royces and Colbyco helicopters,
watching my every move?
I shall do whatever is necessary to protect my own interests.
And I to protect mine.
And the winner will be top dog and the other dog will be buried alive.
Unless...
Unless what?
Unless we do work together on this.
Stay together.
Pull together.
Be together.
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR]
Jackie.
- Jackie, is that you? GARRETT: It's Garrett.
Oh, Garrett. Oh, thank God, it's you.
Oh, I need you so much. So much right now.
- Any word from her? - No.
But every hour that passes,
I become more frightened for her and for us.
For us?
Garrett.
- You are Jackie's father. - What?
Oh, you knew it. I lied.
I thought I was doing the right thing, and I lied.
My God, why?
Why wait to tell me?
Did she have to run away for you to finally admit it?
And what was so right about what you thought you were doing?
Garrett, please not now, not now. Not-- We don't know where she is.
She could be out there and something terrible could be happening to her.
Has she called you since we last talked?
No.
You said you spoke to her three times before, what did she say?
That she was all right, she didn't want me to worry.
Then she'd hang up.
You said she called long-distance.
Did you hear her deposit any coins after you were connected?
No, I didn't.
Good, she may still be here in Denver.
- Maybe. I don't know, Garrett. - Let's pray to God she is.
Get me the police.
- Another martini? - Yes, thank you.
- Anything else? - What are you offering?
Within limits, that is.
Do you know what I think, Alexis?
No. What?
It's time we went up to your room.
[LAUGHS]
No, I don't.
Then down to my room.
I'm not gonna make love to you here, Alexis.
Oh, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Ben,
but you're not going to make love to me at all.
Don't tell me you're still the flirt you always were.
Do I sense a touch of male chauvinism in that remark?
Yes, of course, I adore flirting.
It makes what might come next so much more exciting.
Hello, Dex.
[SlGHS]
What can I do for you?
The papers you wanted signed.
I said morning, but I finished reading them tonight.
Obviously. Well, just leave them, will you?
I guess we each have our own style of penance, don't we, Alexis?
So it seems, Dex. So it seems.
Amanda?
I didn't see you at breakfast this morning.
You all right?
I haven't been feeling very well lately.
I couldn't sleep last night.
In fact, I've been miserable.
What's the matter?
[SlGHS]
It's Dex.
I realise I made a stupid mistake with him.
I loved him, but it was wrong.
And worst of all...
Go on.
I hurt my mother. I hurt her deeply.
She won't even talk to me, Krystle. It's such a terrible feeling.
I know.
Unfortunately, I know.
How? How could you?
Because I made a similar mistake once.
Oh, God, I wish Alexis could understand.
You know the way she is, Krystle. She'll never forgive me.
She'll hate me for as long as I live.
- Come on, Mommy. SAMMY JO: Okay.
Hey, Choo Choo Charlie, come here.
- Daddy, I'm going on a picnic. - Going on a picnic, huh?
- Where are you taking him? - Like Danny said. For a picnic.
In the playroom.
- Mommy says it's too cold outside. - Yeah, well, it is cold out there.
SAMMY JO: Steven.
I'm really sorry about the way
that lawyer twisted everyhing you said about Blake in court.
Thanks, Sammy Jo.
- What do you want? - Nothing. I meant it.
Okay, I think it's terrific the way you brought your father down.
Nice touch.
I am sorry, Steven.
Now, lighten up. Stop taking yourself so seriously all the time.
Danny, I'm gonna get dressed and go to work, all right?
- Bye, Daddy. - Bye.
ROBOT: Here's your pepperoni pizza. - Thank you.
ROBOT: You're welcome.
- Mm. This is good, Mommy. - Well, I knew you'd like it.
And what do you think
of Samantha Josephine Reece's very special picnic lunch?
It all looks very interesting, especially these, uh, corn dogs.
And the best way to eat them is like so.
- Take a dog, dip it in mustard. - Uh-huh.
- And maybe just a dab of ketchup. - Just a dab?
- Just a dab. - Aha.
And then you take a big healthy bite, like this:
I think I'll just, uh... Ahem.
- Mm. - Ever tasted anything more fabulous?
CLAY: I tell you, I haven't had anything this exotic
since I picnicked in Mongolia a couple months ago
on marinated rattlesnake.
- Marinated rattlesnake? - Mm-hm.
- You're pulling my leg. - Scout's honour.
Can I be a Scout?
- In about five years, okay? - Okay.
- He's a great kid, Sammy Jo. SAMMY JO: Thanks.
Clay? What is that short for?
- Clayton? - Clayburn.
It was my grandfather's name.
It's my father's middle name. Buckley Clayburn Fallmont.
Ex-senator of these United States.
- I'm impressed. - Are you really?
Mm-hm.
I bet you could be a senator if you wanted to.
No.
SAMMY JO: You've got everyhing going for you.
Great looks. Class.
- And that smile of yours. - Well, thanks, Sammy Jo.
But I really have no interest in politics.
And as far as my smile is concerned, hey, I got a great life. I'm enjoying it.
Danny, why don't you get your mom a slice of pizza?
Okay, Mommy.
[SAMMY JO & CLAY LAUGH]
CLAY: Hey.
Thanks, Danny.
[CLAY lMlTATES TRAlN WHlSTLE]
Hey.
[DANNY LAUGHS]
- Is that fun? Ha-ha-ha. DANNY: Yeah.
CLAY: Do it again.
[CLAY & DANNY LAUGHlNG]
Hello, Cassie.
Thank you for letting me barge in on you like this, Blake.
But it'll be worth your while. It's urgent.
- What could be so urgent? - Alexis.
My dear, selfish, vindictive sister.
Oh, and what about Alexis?
I know she lied in court, Blake.
She perjured herself on that witness stand
when she swore she'd been with you the day of the fire.
- How do you know that? - Because she was with me.
We weren't even in Denver until later that night.
Well, if you weren't in Denver, where were you?
We'd flown to Chicago together on a shopping trip.
- Are you sure about that? - Absolutely sure.
Chicago.
Yes, I'm beginning to remember that now.
Yes, I didn't see Alexis until the next day at the mortuary.
This can help, can't it?
We're talking about something that happened more than 20 years ago.
It's not that easy to prove that--
That you were in Chicago on a certain day that long ago.
Yes, I know, but I want to help you, Blake.
I want so much to help you, and I'm going to. Somehow.
- You really mean that now? - With everyhing that's in me.
Including all the hatred I have for Alexis.
This isn't over, Blake. Not so far as I'm concerned.
All right, Cassie, I appreciate what you're saying.
But if we do go back into court, we're going to need hard evidence.
Then I'm going to find it.
Anything to get back at my dear sister.
So, what exactly do you want here, Krystle?
A handout?
Why don't you see one of my people in petty cash.
Tell them I sent you.
Your putdowns are as empty as you are, Alexis.
- Don't you ever get tired of trying? - As a matter of fact, no.
Putting you down is so simple, it's one of life's pleasures.
I came here to talk to you about Amanda.
Really?
Well, I see no reason to talk about any of my children with you.
So you're wasting your time here.
Amanda's in a lot of pain and I'm very worried about her.
Amanda is an adult. She's proved that by her actions.
I have nothing to say to her, or you.
Dear God, when are you going to stop being so selfish?
Alexis, she's your daughter and she's suffering.
And the one thing she needs more than anything else--
- Is my maternal forgiveness? - Yes.
She's terribly guilty about what happened with Dex.
And she's struggling desperately for some sort of direction.
Now, you're the only one who can give her what she wants.
I have more important things on my mind than a cheating daughter.
You're not really so heartless, are you, Alexis?
It's me you're reacting to, my being here,
and not the fact that you don't care about your daughter.
That is it, isn't it?
The day I answer to you, Krystle, will be the day that I let up on Blake.
And that'll be never.
Now, you see that door?
You opened it when you came in, so close it behind you.
"An emergency meeting of the Denver-Carrington board of directors
will be held at 3 p.m. today.
Your attendance is mandatory,"
Dominique just phoned me, she got the same wire.
What's this all about, Dad?
Martin Gaines is demanding that I resign as chairman of the board.
What?
Yes, he's lined up a couple of other board members to vote with him.
I'll tell you, this sick plot that Ben and Alexis have conjured up
to drag me through the dirt is getting worse and worse.
Turning into a nightmare.
- What are you gonna do? - I don't know.
But I've got until the meeting to figure it out.
Can't let this break me.
Alexis is out for blood.
Well, that's just what she's going to get, blood.
Hers and my brother's.
Hi. Is my husband in?
I'm afraid he stepped out, Mrs. Carrington.
No problem. I'll wait inside.
"And I hereby sign over power of attorney to my son, Adam Carrington.
Signed, Blake Carrington,"
Adam.
- Claudia. - Steven.
- Where's Adam? - I don't know.
- What are you doing in here? - What am I doing here?
I think that's pretty obvious. I'm waiting for Adam.
What's been obvious to me, Claudia,
is that you've been working on some plan against Adam.
Is that why you're here? Are you looking for something?
Did you find it?
Your interest in me is very touching.
But whatever it is, it's none of your affair.
And that's a word that I'm sure you're more than familiar with.
Oh, Adam, we need to talk.
I'm due at a board meeting. I haven't got time.
Adam.
You're going to have to make time.
Read this.
- How did you get this? - That's not important.
What is important is that we're partners now.
Equal partners.
And unless you do as I say, I'm gonna show that to your father.
And he's not gonna like it one bit.
In fact, I can see the blood in his eyes as we speak.
[lNTERCOM BUZZES]
Yes?
BLAKE: Time for the board meeting, Adam. We'd better go.
I'll be right there.
That's right. Do as your father says and be a good boy.
You'd better go.
The last time we talked, you twisted everyhing that I said.
In fact, you helped to destroy my marriage.
Well, that's yesterday's news, when you were Mrs. Dexter.
I'm here for tomorrow's Mrs. Colby.
And the story behind the story about you, Blake Carrington
and his brother Ben.
All right.
Everyhing that I said and did in that courtroom
I did to right a terrible injustice that had been done to Ben Carrington.
Now, you're a real fighter, Mrs. Colby.
But this is one round I think you're probably gonna lose in the long run.
What do you mean by that?
Well, I interviewed Blake Carrington yesterday.
Yes, so I heard.
And what did dear Blake have to say?
Well, he spent all of his time talking about you, Mrs. Colby.
In fact, he said some very inflammatory things about you.
Really? Heh.
I'd be quite fascinated to hear them.
I presume you have them on tape?
Oh, it's with our lawyers to make sure that it's not libellous.
Ah.
Yeah, l-- Heh.
I don't often say this.
It'd be rotten for my alleged killer reputation.
But I feel deeply sorry for you,
and how you're going to react when you read that interview.
Do you?
All right, Mr. Wales, turn up your tape recorder,
and I'll give you your interview.
Blake Carrington is a tarnished human being.
He is cruel, mercenary and unforgiving.
His public image as a benevolent father figure is a complete sham.
He is responsible for his mother's death and for the death of Ted Dinard.
And he is also responsible for banishing me from Denver
and from my young children by a vicious act of blackmail.
When the world learns of his true colours,
he's going to be hated as few men in our time have been hated.
[BANGS GAVEL]
Gentlemen, I would like to suggest that we dispense with procedure,
and we get on with the business at hand without further delay.
- I so move. - Second.
- All in favour? - Aye.
All opposed?
Martin, you were the one that called this meeting.
Any particular reason?
I think everyone knows why, Blake.
I propose that you resign as chairman of this board.
Effective immediately. Or else that we take a vote on it.
Your reason being, Mr. Gaines?
GAlNES: Blake was involved in a hearing recently.
There was bad publicity.
You mean my personal publicity, of course.
GAlNES: Yes, Blake.
I'm referring to how that personal publicity rubbed off on this company.
And how the value of Denver-Carrington's stock plunged
ever since that decision was read.
So now you think because of this temporary setback
that I'm incapable of running this company,
this company that I founded, is that right?
No, of course not, Blake.
It's the company's image that I'm-- That we're talking about here.
As far as you're concerned,
we know you, we know you're innocent.
We know you could never have had anything to do
with your mother's death.
Mr. Gaines, I'm not a member of this board,
and therefore I can't vote on this issue,
if, in fact, it should come to a vote.
But I can charge you and anyone else here who supports your stand
and your double talk with inexcusable cowardice.
I resent that, young man.
Yes, you're right, you're not a member of this board,
so kindly keep your opinions to yourself.
I agree with Gaines, Adam.
Your personal feelings are your own. We're talking business here.
You don't seem to understand. Adam is talking about loyalty.
ADAM: That's right, and I say that loyalty
transcends whatever sacrifices you might temporarily have to make
so that my father can put this company back on its feet.
Would you care to give us a timetable on that loyalty?
I doubt that very much.
I think young Carrington's made a point there.
And I don't.
[BANGS GAVEL]
Please listen to me.
I still have controlling interest in this company,
so it's my image and my reputation that are at stake here.
Now, as for this temporary stock plunge, I intend to turn it around.
Not only that, but I guarantee that Denver-Carrington stock
is going to be stronger than it has ever been.
And this company is going to be stronger than it has ever been.
Nice speech, Blake.
But would you tell me exactly
how you're gonna accomplish such a miracle?
And that's what it would be, a total miracle.
All right, I'll tell you how.
I plan to take over Colbyco.
[BOARD MEMBERS MURMURlNG]
A hostile takeover?
Well, it's not gonna be friendly, I assure you of that.
Dad, Colbyco is bigger than we are. A takeover is a risky move.
Are you sure that's the way you wanna go?
Where do your loyalties lie now? You work with Mother, with Father.
- Whose side are you on? BLAKE: Adam, that's enough.
The issue here is Denver-Carrington and only Denver-Carrington.
I would like to put this to a vote.
- So moved. - Second.
All right.
Would those opposed to a takeover signify by raising their hands, please.
All in favour of the takeover signify by raising their hands.
Five to five.
Motion is passed. Six to five.
All right.
Now, once and for all, let's get them.
Let's get Colbyco.
