All language subtitles for The Colbys - 01x14 - The Trial

Now I know you have problems,
here and at home.

You need help, and I am here
to give it to you.

I'm coming back to work.

Last time, on "The Colbys"...

"Gail Kittredge In Concert."

Does your wife know
you're sleeping with the boss?

Jeff, he's perspiring!

The fever's broken!
He's gonna be all right!

It's gonna be all right.

Mommy and Daddy
are right here...

together.

I love you, Jeff.
I'll always love you.

Fallon...

will you marry me?

Yes!

Yes!

I love Jeff!
You can't change that!

Please don't turn this
into something ugly!

Ugly! You just turned
this whole world ugly for me!

Dad won't let you use this?
Not even to help me?

No. What can I do?

Your hands may be tied,
but mine sure aren't.

I don't get it!

I bring you a letter
by your own brother

that'll give you control
of your entire company again!

You're not jumping at it. Why?

I saw that letter. I asked
Francesca if it were true.

Don't you think she knows
the father of her own son?

Maybe she's not so good
at multiple choice.

Stop it!

- I'm sorry.
- Don't be sorry for me.

Be sorry for that tramp
you fell for.

I know what she is,
and I'll prove it!

Miles...!

Hey, Garrett. Can't you let
a man have a workout in peace?

I thought you might
want to see this

before you left for the office.

My God.

Does Jeff know about this?

Well, he will. I have
a summons here for him too.

He's done it.

He's really done it.

Kim, excuse us, please?

We had a deal, damn it.

You made a deal,
and you broke it.

I did?

You told me you'd forget
about Phillip's letter!

And so I have.
What are you talking about?

A summons!

Miles is taking Jeff to court to
prove he's not Phillip's son!

I can't be responsible for
everything that Miles does.

How could he know about that letter?
You showed it to him!

He had a right to see it.

You knew this would happen!
You handed him a loaded gun!

Don't you bully me about Miles!

It seems to me you have a
lot to answer for as well.

What the hell
are you talking about?

This.

We've been invited
to a reception, darling,

to welcome the new British
Vice Consul to Los Angeles...

Lord Roger Langdon
and his wife...

Lady Francesca Langdon?

Frankie... said Singapore.

She must have got Roger
to change his mind...

when you begged her.

I... she never told me.

Is she moving back here?

Yes.

With a title and a husband.

Come to improve relations,
no doubt.

I thought our marriage
still had a chance.

Oh, how could you?

It's not going to work, Miles.

You think it won't?
I think it will.

Makes it kind of interesting,
doesn't it?

I am a Colby.

It's your mother's word
against your father's, right?

You just can't accept it,
can you...

That Fallon chose me?

Leave her out of this.

Don't you realize how pathetic
this makes you look?

Pathetic? I'll show you
how pathetic I am!

You "killed" Randall.
You'll pay for that.

No.

We'll see who pays.

I want you to get Garrett
on the phone... Jeff!

Sure, and I'll call you back.

May I... see you a minute?

Well, if this is
about the summons...

Yeah, I just got it.

We have to talk.

I haven't had time
to think it through.

Well...

first, I want you to know
I'm very impressed

with what you've been doing here
these last months.

You've made a real contribution.

But...?

But if the court decides
you're not a Colby,

I'll have to accept that.

Well, I'm not surprised.

- Thanks for the warning.
- Wait!

I believe you're my brother's son.
But if he wasn't your father,

then you'll have
to give up your Colby shares.

That's the way
my father wanted it.

That's the way
it would have to be.

Your father?

What about you?
You've never wanted me here!

At first that was true.

I was just starting
to trust you. Respect you.

But now I'm beginning to think
you put Miles up to this.

Oh, for...!

Real Colby blood
is thicker than water, right?

- Jeff.
- You're my father's brother.

I thought that would mean
something more to you.

Miles.

I'm running late.

I want to talk to you.

I heard you're taking Jeff
to court.

Did he come crying to Mommy?

It won't do anybody any good.

I'm somebody.
It'll do me plenty.

But think of the consequences!

You think of the consequences.
You're the cause of all this.

That's not fair.
I didn't choose Jeff.

It happened. From before.

- It wasn't easy, you know.
- Spare me, okay?

I know how hard it's been for you.
I've been hearing it for weeks.

You sound as if you hate me.

You know something?

I don't know how I feel
about you any more.

Conny wants you
to handle Jeff's case?

According to her,
I'm the natural choice.

Young, sharp, aggressive.
Good-looking.

Sure, you're the best.
You work for me.

But you can't take the case.

Why not?

You know why not
as well as I do.

It's a serious
conflict of interest.

Not any more than when I was gonna
defend Conny against Sable's charges.

The wrong choice.

Jeff should have
outside counseling.

I can handle Arthur Cates.

We'll find someone else.

And I care about this family.

That won't count
for much in court.

- Jason!
- I'm sorry!

We disagree.

Is this your way of saying

you think Miles is right?

I don't know who's right.

But it's Jeff's fight, not ours.

Jason...

If you have any reason
to believe

that Jeff is not
Phillip's son...

tell me.

Bottom line is,
you think you can handle it?

Yes, I do.

All right.

Tell my big sister you're hired.

She caught me on the way out
of the house this morning.

I'm already on the case.

Lord Langdon's suite.

Lady Langdon?

Lady Langdon...?

Francesca Langdon.

I thought you were supposed
to be in Singapore.

Jeff! I wanted to surprise you.
Roger pulled a few strings.

I can't wait to see you.

Well, I want to see you too.

Something's come up.

I can be there in an hour.
Is that too soon?

No. Of course not.

See you then.

Okay. Bye.

I'm sorry, Dad,
the answer is no.

Can't you see what this
could do to all of us...

To your mother?
To Fallon? To Constance?

Aren't you forgetting Francesca?

The whole family.
Think what you're doing.

I am thinking of the family.

Remember what you said
about your father?

He built this company out
of sweat and blood and dreams.

- I'm talking about now.
- If I'm right,

you let Aunt Conny give
half of this company away

to an outsider. An imposter.

Your father must be turning over
in his grave.

I told Jeff this morning,

I'd abide by the court's
decision, whatever it is.

I know what it'll be. Jeff is not
a Colby, he's out. End of story.

Grandfather can rest in peace.

You're not doing this for the
company or my father or justice,

you're doing it to hurt Jeff.

That worries me.

Not me. It's making my day.

Vengeance can eat
a man's guts out, you know.

Chewing away
until there's nothing left.

Let it go.

"Turn the other cheek"?

No thanks, Dad. Once was enough.

I'm sorry I hit you.
I told you that.

And that makes everything okay?

Don't do this.

It's mean. It's... low.

I'm asking you.
Drop this action.

Or what?

You'll cut me out of your will?

Careful, Dad.
You may run out of Colbys.

- I've missed you!
- No, really?

- Yeah, I did. Sit down.
- Thanks.

It's bad news, isn't it?

The Colbys are taking me
to court.

What?

Miles is trying to prove
I'm not a Colby.

He got a hold
of Phillip's letter.

Sable.

Jason won't let that happen.

He wants to go to court.

No! That can't be right.

I thought I could
count on him, too.

He knows there's nothing
to that letter. He knows that!

I'm starting to realize
why you left this family.

I left because you're a Colby.

They wanted you to themselves,
and now they're turning on you.

Francesca,
if this does go to court,

will you testify? Will you tell
them what you told me in Rome?

Now listen to me, you don't have
to answer, but think about it

and discuss it with Roger.

Roger.

He'll understand. He'll have to.

Of course I'll testify.

You're sure?

Jeff, you're all
that matters to me now.

The Colbys have made us suffer
long enough,

and it's time we fought back.

You see, I haven't always
been blind.

About 10 years ago, I got
what they call "keratitis."

A bad... bad case.

I was lucky, really.
Some kids are born with it.

With a hit record, I may
finally afford an operation.

What they call "corneal grafts."

About $50,000 ought to do it.

You mean you might
really see again?

Yes. And this boy's
ready for a miracle.

And if you turn out to be half as
beautiful as I see you in my head,

that'll be miracle number two.

Yes, I want to talk about Neil.

What about Neil?

Monica, I may be a greenhorn in the
record business, and I may be blind,

but I can smell a double-cross
a mile away.

What's Neil up to?

I hear he's leaving Titania.

He wants to take me with him.

Thank you for
a lovely lunch.

You know, Miles,
I love you very much.

And when I gave Jeff
my holdings,

I didn't mean to hurt you.

You didn't owe
me those shares.

I even tried to get Mom
to see that.

I handled it badly.
She was right about that.

But if you tell her I said so,

this conversation
never took place.

I know you two don't get along.

She's like me.

Sometimes we feel...
I don't know...

Cornered.

Oh, well...

what if there was a way
out of that corner?

What do you mean?

Well...

when I gave Jeff that stock,

I held back some
of the voting power...

Just enough, in case there
was ever any trouble

between Jason and Jeff.

- Good for you.
- No, good for you.

I will give you
that voting power...

if you will cancel this suit
against Jeff.

This isn't about
Colby Enterprises.

This is all about
the Colby family.

Dragging our name through
the courts and the press...

you're too nice a man for that.

Look...

If there's trouble
in the boardroom, fine, but...

cancel the lawyers, please.

I can't.

Oh, sure you can.
Just say the word.

I'd do just about
anything for you.

But not this.

Well, why not?

I know it must all
seem wrong to you, but...

I've got to do this.

I just have to... For me.

Then God help you, Miles.

God help us all.

What's your feeling
about the advance to Wayne?

What if his record's a flop?

You expect Titania
to take a loss

because you feel sorry
for Wayne Masterson?

If the record's a flop...
And it won't be,

I'll cover the advance myself.

Look, his pride won't allow him
to accept an outright loan.

An advance
on his record's different.

You know, you're as blind
in your own way as he is.

And you're going to
open my eyes?

I can try.

Monica, you feel so guilty
about your privileged life

that you're making a hero
out of this guy.

I care about him.
Is that so wrong?

You care that he's blind.
That's the attraction.

I just want to help him.

Give the guy some credit.
He can help himself.

Maybe he's helping himself
right now.

He didn't ask for that advance.

He didn't have to.

What are you afraid of,
Kittredge?

That if he gets his sight back

you'll have to find
another "angle" to sell him?

Is that what you think of me?

I don't know
what to think of you.

You don't exactly tell me
anything about yourself.

Like about your wife,
for instance?

Monica, I meant to tell you.
The timing was wrong.

Look, Gail and I haven't lived
together for two years now.

Fine. Fine.

You've got a bad marriage.

It's still a marriage.

- You don't understand...
- No, no. You have us confused.

It's the wife
who doesn't understand.

Look, Neil,
I don't want to discuss this.

I don't sleep with married men.

I don't date married men.

I don't even have dinner
with married men.

Unless...

it's to fire them.

What?

You're planning
to leave Titania Records,

and you're trying to take
our clients with you.

I waited all night for you
to tell me that.

Monica, give me a chance
to explain.

No.

No, you've had all you're
going to get from Titania...

and from me.

You're out, Neil.

Goodbye.

Miles Colby.

Miles, It's Arthur.
I've got good news.

You heard from the detective?

He's turned up
a very promising witness.

I've got a statement
right here in front of me.

- What's it say?
- Oh no, not on the phone.

You can read it
on the plane tomorrow.

You've got to convince him
to testify.

How promising?
Come on, what have you got?

Enough to change
Jeff Colby's last name.

I'll meet you
at the airport at 9:00.

And Miles? Sleep well.

I will!

Like a baby.

Roger?

Oh, excuse me.

Sable. Jason.

Hello, Frankie. So you're Roger?

Welcome to the family.

Thank you, Sable. I've heard
a lot about you from my wife.

I hope it was riveting.

Nice to see you again, Roger.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Well...

- Sable Colby!
- Hello.

How are you, dear?

Your sister is charming.
We're so glad she's with us.

Lovely to see you again, Mary.
Have you...?

Jason. How are you?
We meet at last!

So nice to meet you.

Your wife and I have slaved

on hundreds of charity
committees.

Well, I know it.

Oh, I must show you that Sargent
portrait I've been telling you about.

Ah. Excuse me.

Roger, Peter wants you
to meet the senator

in the billiard room.

Will you excuse me?

Something tells me
that is not a silly woman.

She's a diplomat's wife.

She can sense a chilly
silence at 500 paces.

If you'll excuse me.

Frankie...

we've both made our choices, but
that doesn't mean we're strangers.

We can still be friends.

Do you always take
your "friends" to court?

Jeff told me what you're doing.

That's... No, thank you.

It's not my doing.

I told you the truth,
and you don't believe me.

And anything that needs
immediate action.

Do you know, we were really delighted
to know that he was posted here.

Garrett Boydston's
handling Jeff's case.

I don't know a better lawyer.
He's my chief counsel.

That's a lot of legal firepower.

Can he keep me off the stand?

I don't know that.

I'll be under oath.

You know what questions they'll
ask about Phillip and me...

And what it was like between us.

You told me you loved me.

Jason? I'd like a word with you.

I'm listening.

I don't quite know
how to put this.

Why don't you just tell me?

Francesca has told me of your...

history together.

You see, Jason...

my wife is happy being my wife.

Please don't try to change that.

Seems to me you've said it all.

Just so we understand
each other.

You couldn't stay away,
could you?

I want to talk to you.

Why did you show Miles
that letter?

I had to.
He found it fascinating.

You know, I care for you.
Why do you hate me so much?

Don't you act Bo-Peep with me.

You know why. You and Jason.

What?

Your little tryst at the Five Oaks Inn?
Miles saw you.

Once, anyway. God knows
how many times it happened.

Nothing happened.

- Don't you lie to me.
- It's the truth.

You are so transparent, Frankie.

Getting Roger posted here.

I had nothing to do with that.

You did "nothing"
at the Five Oaks?

"Nothing" do to
with this posting?

You're a regular hive
of inactivity, aren't you?

What's the expression?
"I'll see you in court."

Yes, you will.
Thanks to your son.

My son? Miles is doing this.

Only because your son
stole his wife.

That was Fallon's choice.

You've set Jeff against us
from the start.

You wanted Jeff to have
Miles' wife and his money, too.

Well, it won't work.

Sable, please. Think what
you're doing to Jeff...

To the whole family.

I don't give a damn
about your little bastard.

Or you.

You slut.

So you knew my uncle
in Vietnam, Mr. Grogan?

Yeah.

Phil Colby and I were buddies
in Korea and Saigon.

You know, there weren't many
advisors over there in the '50s,

so we saw a lot of each other.

This Captain Holmes
you suggest we talk to,

of course we'd like
to locate him.

I don't even
remember his first name.

He could be dead for all I know.

Look, I'll put all this
in a deposition for you.

Will that be enough?

We'd like you
to testify in person,

along with this Captain Holmes.

I don't know
if I can spare the time.

It's too bad.

I know how valuable
my testimony would be for you.

What are you driving at?

Mr. Grogan and I discussed certain
areas of "mutual interest"

between himself
and Colby Enterprises.

I won't buy your testimony.

No one's talking
about buying anything.

Let's just say
Mr. Colby believes

in being friendly
with his friends.

That's good enough for me.

Well, friend? You just
got yourself a witness.

Pleasure doing business
with you. Gentlemen.

I don't like this.

You want to win the case?

You've got to fight hard.

Not clean, not dirty. Hard.

- Okay.
- Okay.

But I'd feel even better

if we could find Holmes
and those army records.

Yeah, we will. I think
I know where to look, too.

Jason Colby.

Uh, listen, I'm early for my
appointment with the commission.

- Join me in a drink?
- Well, I'm running late.

Of course, so many problems
in a business day, eh?

So many fires to put out.

That item in the paper,
for instance,

about Miles and that man
Mahoney's death?

I wonder how the papers
got hold of that.

And no denial
from Colby Enterprises.

I don't pay a lot
of attention to rumors.

If I did, I couldn't afford
to be seen talking to you.

And this court case coming up.

Family fights
can be distressing.

And this one's so public.

You have my sympathies,
my friend.

I don't need
your sympathies, Zach.

I need your super tankers.

Unfortunately.

I'm sorry, Ron,
but Thursday's out.

Yeah, and Friday, that too.

It's a very busy month.
Some other time.

Okay, thanks. Bye.

Poor Ron.

Is he really that bad?

Mother, you have a very
maternal look on your face,

and you know
that makes me nervous.

I know that you're very upset
about Sean still,

but there's
a whole world out there.

It's full of hideous music,
ghastly clothes

and dreadful young men for you
to bring home to shock us.

Doesn't that do
anything for you?

Thanks for trying.
We'll talk later, okay?

Bliss, I know you.

Darling, you're not happy

unless you've got someone
special in your life.

What life, Mother?

That's the problem.

I don't have my own. I just borrow
one from my "nice, young men."

Their politics, their causes,
their interests...

Well, it's only natural for a woman
to share her man's interests.

And he should share hers too.
If she has any.

Look at me.

I have nothing to share,
nothing to give.

I feel so empty.

Darling, that is not true.

For months I've been asking you
to come and work for me

at the Colby Collection.
You would be wonderful.

That works for you, Mother,
but not for me. Thank you.

I love you, Bliss.

We all do. Oh, darling,

You give us more than
you could possibly know.

- Are you all right?
- Uh-huh.

Damn!

- Bliss.
- What is this?

Ocean World has
made me an offer.

I'm gonna take it,
and move to Florida.

- But you love it here.
- Not really.

There's nothing keeping me here.

What do you expect me to do?

I don't know. If I were
my mother I'd have an answer,

but I don't seem
to have any lately.

- Bliss...
- She thinks I'll find someone new.

Forget all about you.

- You will.
- No!

Not someone like you.

Bliss, don't.

I miss you!

You can't leave here, Sean.

I love you.
I don't care about the rest.

You'll marry me,
prince or pauper, right?

Win or lose, I'm with you.

That's what I wanted to hear.

I've got you and Conny
and my mother on my side.

Let Miles do his worst.

Look, bud, I need
to find this guy fast.

Hey, I know Colby Enterprises is
one of our biggest contractors.

What do you think I'm doing down
here in the middle of the night?

But you've got to give me
something to go on.

I don't have anything to go on.

Last thing anybody heard from this
guy, he was working at the Pentagon.

- No first name?
- No. Just Holmes.

Captain Holmes.

How many Captain Holmes could
you possibly have working here?

I can already tell you.

None.

Ah, there you are.

This suit
goes to court tomorrow.

It's unfortunate.
Very unfortunate.

I can't believe
it's come to this.

Roger, you're not still angry about
what happened this afternoon?

I was never angry, darling.
Not at you.

But I think the less you see of
your family right now, the better.

That's not going to be
practical.

We'll make it practical.

This trial's going to be
an ugly business.

I'd like you to keep
well out of it.

He's my son.
How can I stay out of it?

Francesca, you married a diplomat.
You know what that means.

Be reasonable.

I didn't arrange this posting
to Los Angeles

to get us both embroiled
in a public scandal.

You know I'll do the best I can

not to hurt you or your career.

That's not good enough.

Now, I know you must
support your son.

But quietly. Privately.

For my sake... For our sake,

you mustn't get
publically involved.

It's too late for that.
I've been subpoenaed.

Then you'll testify for Jeff.

I only wish I could.

I've been called to testify,
but not for Jeff.

For Miles. I'm a witness
for the prosecution.

Did you
initiate this suit?

Is Colby Enterprises
pulling down the pipeline?

- Where's your son, Miles?
- No comment.

Is he the leading force
behind this suit?

- Will you settle out of court?
- Are you countersuing for damages?

- Sorry.
- Even if you win,

can you continue
at Colby Enterprises?

We have no statements
at this time.

I said, no comment.

If your son is not
a Colby, then who is the father?

Will your
husband be recalled to London?

Lady Langdon! Lady Langdon!

I haven't realized this
till now...

I'm Jeff Colby
walking in, but...

who will I be when I walk out?

Who you've always been.

The man I love, no matter what.

Where is your husband,
Mrs. Colby?

Where's Miles Colby?

"I hate saying
this, even to you, Cecil",

but Francesca's
been cheating on me.

I don't know for how long,
or who the man is.

I do know this.

The baby Francesca is carrying

is not my child,

and I'll be damned
if she'll still be my wife

when that baby is born.

Signed, Phillip."
That is Phillip Colby.

Your Honor, I submit
this as Plaintiff's Exhibit A.

Now I'd like to call
my first witness to the stand,

Gregory Farnsworth.

- No word from Miles?
- None. He just... disappeared.

Well, find him.
If he doesn't turn up soon,

he might as well
not turn up at all.

Now, as an expert
graphologist, or handwriting expert,

can you state, unequivocally,

that the letter designated
as Exhibit A

is from the hand
of Phillip Colby?

According to my analysis
of Mr. Colby's handwriting

from this period of time,

in terms of formation
of character,

angle of placement,
pressure of the...

Yes or no please,
Mr. Farnsworth.

Is this the handwriting
of Phillip Colby?

Yes. He wrote it, all right.
No doubt whatsoever.

Yeah, I'd say Phil was upset

when his wife wrote him
that she was pregnant.

"Upset," as in, "worried"?
You know,

"Will I be a good father?
How will this change my life?"

No, no. He wasn't worried,
he was, well, he was angry,

to put it mildly. In fact, I'd
never seen him that angry before.

Thank you, Mr. Grogan.

No further questions
at this time.

You witness, Mr. Boydston.

Mr. Grogan, you say
Phillip was upset.

Angry.

Was he an emotional man?

Well, he was the sort of guy

that took things seriously.

I mean, he really
felt things, you know?

You mean he was
emotionally unstable?

Objection, Your Honor.
He's leading the witness.

Sustained.

You say he really felt things.

What kinds of things?
Depression?

Well, he was sometimes down.

- Did he have a temper?
- I guess so, yeah.

You guess so? I thought you said
you were his best friend.

All right, he had a temper.
Yeah, he could get angry.

How angry?

Well, he sometimes flew off
the handle, but then, so did I.

- We all did.
- Oh?

You can call it
emotionally unstable,

but you don't know.

They hated us over there.

After two years of that,
we were all ready to snap.

Oh, is that what he did...
Snap under pressure?

- Objection. Objection.
- Break down?

Mr. Boydston.

Look, we were all
under a lot of pre...

I withdraw the question.

Thank you, Mr. Grogan.

For my next witness,

I call
Constance Colby-Patterson.

Well, he was a fine man.

Sensitive, sentimental,
but not unstable.

Just a simple,
loving, caring man.

Not, in your opinion,
a man who'd idly write

a letter full of vicious
accusations about his wife?

- That is not what I said.
- Unless they were true.

Or was he the type of man
who'd lie about his wife?

No, he would never have lied.

He... he was just mistaken.

No further questions.

You're familiar, Mrs. Patterson,

with your brother Phillip's
police record?

Objection, Your Honor.
It's irrelevant.

Phillip Colby
is not on trial here.

His credibility is, Your Honor.

I'm trying to establish his
mental and emotional condition.

Overruled.

The witness
will answer the question.

Well, I believe there was
some trouble with the police.

"Some trouble"?

Three arrests for drunk
driving, and two for assault?

Wasn't his
drinking and brawling

the main reason your father
cut him out of his will?

No. I mean he...

I don't know.
My father did not confide in me.

Weren't these drunken brawls
usually over women?

Wasn't your brother habitually,

irrationally and excessively
jealous about women in his life.

Well, he was young...

Immature, violent...

alcoholic, and jealous. Wasn't
that the real Phillip Colby?

He drank too much
and that made him difficult,

- but he would...
- No further questions.

I call Francesca Colby
Hamilton Langdon.

That's a long
list of last names.

Quite a few men in your life?

I was widowed twice.

It's only your first husband
we're interested in.

How long was Phillip Colby
in Vietnam?

A total of...

I think it was 22 months.

And you saw
him how many times

during that period?

Three times. Once in Hawaii,
and twice here.

Now you were a young woman,

and newlywed when your husband
first went overseas.

Were you lonely?

I missed my husband,
if that's what you mean.

Did you miss him enough
to look elsewhere?

Objection.

Overruled.

I don't understand the question.

Did you see other men?

No. I socialized,

but some member of my family
was always present.

Most of the time
I stayed at home.

Like the princess
in the ivory tower.

Like a wife whose husband
is serving his country overseas.

We've all heard
about such wives.

Perhaps your husband did, too. Perhaps
that's why he wrote that letter.

I don't know
why he wrote the letter.

Oh, I can think
of some possibilities.

For example,

while your husband was away,

did you ever venture forth
from your ivory tower

and sleep with other men?

Phillip and I loved each other.

On his last leave,
our son was conceived.

I don't know
why he wrote what he did.

Maybe he was lonely.
He had malaria. Maybe...

Your Honor,
may I have an answer?

The witness will answer
the question directly, please.

Oh.

Could you restate the question?

Did you ever cheat

on your husband at any time?

Excuse me, Your Honor.

- You found Captain Holmes?
- Colonel Holmes now.

That's why it was so hard
tracking him down.

Almost as hard as
getting him to testify.

Your Honor, is counsel for the
plaintiff requesting a recess?

No, Your Honor.
I'd like to proceed. But...

we have some new and rather conclusive
evidence I'd like to present.

I'd like to
call a new witness.

Very well. You may step down,
Lady Langdon.

I call Col. Timothy Holmes,

United States Army
Medical Corps.

I was a medical officer

with the Army's advisory group
in Saigon at that time.

Lt. Colby was my patient for
about a year before his death.

This is a medical report

dated May 23rd, 1957.

That is your signature?

Yes.

Colonel, I understand
your reluctance to...

breach the confidentiality
between doctor and patient.

Will you tell the court,

in layman's terms...
what this report says?

It says there's no possibility

that Lt. Phillip Colby could
have fathered his wife's child.

- And why is that, Colonel?
- Phillip Colby was sterile.

He'd always been sterile. He
couldn't have been the father.

So whoever the father was,

the man sitting over there...

is not a Colby.
