All language subtitles for The Colbys - 01x09 - The Letter

Last time,
on "The Colbys..."

It couldn't be worse, Jason,

our own labs confirmed

the spill came from
our mothership.

Colby-Trident?

That's Captain Livadas.

I wanna see him.

Any problems?

Not for us, but the Clean Earth
people are ready to pounce on

whoever is responsible
for the spill.

And that's Jason Colby.

Sign him, Neil.

It's against
my best judgment, Monica.

Don't discount that.

Dominique's put us
in bed together,

and I'd like to make that work.

The key to this whole
case could be in Denver.

And Alexis may have it?

With her help,

we've got Sable.

Oh, we've got Sable
just where she lives.

When you attack Conny,
you attack me.

And when she attacks our son,

you simply turn the other cheek.

You shouldn't leave town,
with you and Dad like this.

Miles, your father and I
are having a disagreement.

That happens in the
best of marriages.

I want you to know that
in spite of everything,

I value you,

and love you,

and trust you.

We'll start fresh.

I'm going to marry you.

I loved you, Dad,

you were my idol,

a man to be proud of.

And for what?

To watch him sneak halfway
'round the world,

and cheat on his wife.

Let me try to tell you, son...

You don't have a son anymore.

Oh, thank you.

"I'm deeply sorry,"

"I kept anything from you,
dear Hutch."

"I realize how wrong it was.

"But please,

"please let me see you,

to explain."

Come in.

Conny.

You've heard from Alexis.

It's not good. It seems that
none of your old letters

to Cecil are still in his file.

- If they ever were.
- None of them?

Well, that's not possible,

my brother saved everything.

They've got to be someplace.

What exactly are we looking for?

The only thing that
will keep Sable

from certifying me as a loony.

And if we don't find it,
you could lose

all your holdings in
Colby Enterprises.

Jeff, I, uh,

I think you'd
better go to Denver,

and help Alexis
find those letters.

Mother, listen to me.

Darling, I have told you before,

I am going to New York
for your father.

Mother.

He's authorized me
to go as high as $2 million

for that Matisse.

Oh, who cares about that?

Your father does.

Uh, just put them down, please.

Thank you.

Miles, I have built
the Colby Collection up,

in honor of your father.

It is a testament
of my love for him.

You'll see.

That painting will not solve
your problems with Dad.

If you just give up this crazy
court action against Conny.

You're gonna lose
Dad if you don't.

Darling,
marriage is like a dance.

I know your father's
moves and he knows mine.

Now, this waltz has gotten
a little out of step

at the moment, but

I know my partner.

We'll finish together.

I'll have a nice intimate
chat with him tonight,

and tomorrow,
everything will be fine.

It is the Russian lynx,
I think...

Mother, will you listen to me?

Miles, you're hurting me.

If you're gone
when he gets back,

there won't be a tomorrow.

Gets back from where?

He flew to London
this afternoon.

London?

That was sudden,
what was he doing in London?

Something came up.

Something urgent?

Well, that's funny.

Everybody is suddenly
flying off to London.

Oh, well,
I shall just have to talk to him

when he gets back.
Wh-when we both get back.

Don't worry, darling,

Mommy will deal with everything.

Mommy,

for God's sakes,

open your eyes.

Oh, Miles,
now you're frightening me.

Is there something else?

Something you're not telling me?

Forget it,

just forget it.

Mmm-muah.

'Night, sweetie.

Did you catch it?

Right here.

Are you okay?

I'm just having
a little nightcap.

On the rocks,

like everything else
around here.

My parents' marriage,
for instance.

While we're on the subject,
what is the state of ours?

Do you still wanna
run home to Daddy?

I'm sorry I said that.

I was upset.

Please, Miles, let's not...

Let's not what?

Tell the truth?

Why not?

I'm losing you, Fallon,
and I know it.

Oh, Miles, don't,
don't say that.

It's true.

Everything I hoped
and dreamed for,

I'm losing it.

This isn't just about
your dreams, Miles,

or mine,

there's Jeff too, and L.B..

It's not an easy choice to make,
can't you...

I'll adopt him.

What?

L.B.,

I-I'll adopt him,

legally.

I'll become his father,

raise him as my own.

Huh, don't you see
how happy we'll be?

Miles, that's crazy,

Jeff would never stand for it.

Jeff.

Jeff!

Jeff.

Everywhere I turn, it's Jeff.

He's the one that's
destroying everything.

I won't listen to this.

This is my life you're
playing around with, lady.

I love you.

My God, doesn't that
mean anything to you?

I love you, and you're mine.

No!

You're my wife,

and so help me God,
I'll never let you go.

No.

Roger,

it's beautiful.

Francesca,

marry me.

Uh,

I thought we agreed
to go slowly.

This is slowly. For me.

Francesca, if I had my way,

we'd be celebrating
anniversaries by now.

Please, just wear the ring.

I can't do it.

Yes, you can.

Jason.

I came straight
from the airport.

Come in.

I had to see you.

Jason, there's...

There's someone
I'd like you to meet.

Uh, this is Roger Langdon.

Roger, this is Jason Colby,

my brother-in-law.

- How do you do?
- I'm, uh, pleased to meet you.

Well, uh.

Ah,

I'm interrupting.

I should've called first.

This is a bad time.

Uh, no, actually,
it's a good time,

a happy time.

Roger has just asked
me to marry him.

And I've accepted.

Well, congratulations
to you both.

Am I the first to
hear this happy news?

Uh, believe me,
you're the first.

When's the wedding?

Uh, what do you think?

Soon,

as soon as possible, in fact.

Well, this is an important
time for you both,

I, uh, won't keep you.

I'm staying at The Dorchester,

I'll phone you, uh, tomorrow.

Well, congratulations...

once again.

Well, you're full of surprises,
aren't you?

Mind you, I'm not complaining.

You've just made me
a very happy man.

I love you, Frankie.

Hello?

Thank you, operator.

Frankie, is that you?

I've been trying to
reach you all day.

I've been out all day
with Roger.

He just left.

Roger?

How lovely.

Is that going well?

Yes, uh,

how's New York?

I'll let you know
after the auction.

Did you know that
Jason's in London?

Yes, he stopped by
to meet Roger,

uh, the family stamp
of approval.

Approval? Then...

Yes, Sable, we're engaged,

we're going to be married
in a month.

In the meantime,
Roger's taking me to Italy.

Oh, darling,
I am so happy for you.

I know Jason is, too.

Frankie, if you see him
before I reach him by phone,

give him my love.

Yes, Sable, I will.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, darling.

Oh.

Oh.

Adam Carrington calling
from Denver, Mr. Colby.

Adam.

Jeff, I have good news for you.

You found the letters?

At last,
and guess where they were?

Under Cecil's alias.

They were in his Logan
Rhinewood files the whole time.

Why didn't we think of that?

Well, thank you, Adam,
and thank Alexis for me.

I'm on my way.

Look, I may have to be
in Los Angeles next week,

I can bring them with me.

Not good enough, Adam,
I need them now.

Well, maybe I could
arrive a few days earlier.

Maybe.

Adam, there's not enough time.

All right, all right,
all right, relax.

I'll get there as soon as I can,

with everything you asked for.

All right.

Everything you asked for,
my friend,

and more.

I have $1,300,000.

The bid's here on my left,
at $1.3 million.

All done, then.

Fair warning, at $2,500,000.

Sold for $2,500,000
on the phone. Thank you.

Bye.

All right,
next we have Lot No. 26,

the Picasso Blue Period,

and for this we'll have
$500,000 to start with.

Verna, dear, who were
you bidding for?

You can tell me.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Colby,

you know that information
is confidential.

My condolences, Sable.

Zach, what're you doing here?

I hear you lost the Matisse,
I'm sorry.

Who outbid you?

They won't tell me, fortunately.

I don't think I could stand

the rigors of a murder trial
just now.

What're you doing here? You
didn't tell me you were coming.

Oh, I'm an impulse shopper.

There is a small Monet
I want coming up.

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

Well, if you'll excuse me,

I think I'd better go
and phone my curator.

After supper.

Let me cheer you up.

I know a wonderful place
with a spectacular view,

very intimate,

just blocks from here.

It wouldn't be your penthouse
by any chance?

And it's open all night.

Are you sure that you're
just here for the paintings?

Let's say I'm here because

I love beautiful things,

shall we?

Not tonight, Zach.

You're very sweet,
but I would be terrible company.

Er, tomorrow night, then?

I'll call you.

Damn it, Garrett,
can they do that,

just revoke our permit
without a hearing?

They're the Harbor Commission.

They giveth
and they taketh away.

Well, can't we appeal?

We can try, but there's more.

Depending on what
the EPA turns up,

the State's threatening
to get out an injunction

to bar your tankers
from any port.

What's the fallout in Denver?

Blake Carrington's hopping.

He's sending Adam out to LA.

Um, do what you have to do.

Well, I could use some help.

Damn it,
I'm not here on a pleasure trip,

I'll get back when I can.

Just block that injunction.

I'll get back to you.

Frankie,
I was just going to call you.

I couldn't sleep last night,

I hated myself

for the way I broke
the news to you.

You can't marry him.

I just came here to tell
you I'm sorry, that's all.

You don't love him.

You're wrong, I do.

Enough to build on, anyway.

No.

That isn't true,

is it Frankie?

You can't do it.

It isn't fair to you,
and it certainly

isn't fair to Roger.

And what's fair to Sable?

What about her happiness?

Sable's happiness.

It's a family fiction.

We want her to be happy,

we pretend she's happy,

but she isn't,
she never will be.

Nothing's ever right,
nothing's ever enough.

I...

I can't live with that anymore.

She's my sister.

Frankie.

Please, Jason,
go back to Los Angeles.

Work things out with Sable,
or don't work them out,

but don't come back to me.

I love you.

I won't break up your marriage,

and I won't break up mine.

I am going to marry Roger.

Nice,

not having that formidable
desk of yours between us.

My desk is never between us,

you're always
draped on the couch,

with your feet up, Kittredge.

Doesn't mean I don't have
the utmost respect for you.

Okay,

"utmost" was overkill.

Neil,

you mind if I get personal?

I'd mind if you didn't.

I know you, uh,
resent me a little.

Is it because I'm a woman?

Oh, boy,
you're really something.

You wanna let me in on it?

A pleasure.

First of all, I don't
resent women in business.

I worked for the best.

Dominique for four years.

Her gender wasn't a problem,

and neither is yours.

Man, woman, or smurf,

you would've ticked me off
just the same.

Oh, because
I'm the boss, not you?

Because you took my job,
damn it.

Don't you get it?

Every success I had,
I worked for damn hard.

And then you waltzed in.

I've paid my dues too.

People like the
Colbys don't pay dues,

they sign for 'em.

Well, at least now I know.

You're after my job.

Oh, I'll start with your job.

Anyone else would've
fired you by now.

You will, when you're
through picking my brains.

If you haven't walked, first.

And if I do, you'll be
begging to get me back.

That'll be the day.

Oh, it could be the night.

You do exist after office hours.

Only faintly.

Shall we go?

You're sure you wouldn't
like an escort home?

I think I can manage,

but thank you.

Neil,

don't fight me.

Help me make Titania
the biggest and the best.

I oughta sue Dominique
for unfair labor practices.

What do you mean?

Why'd she have
to hire someone so beautiful?

Looks like
my car got here first.

I'll see you tomorrow, boss.

Thank you.

Mm-mm.

Any more,
and I'll never find my way

out of this heavenly penthouse.

You don't have to go back
to your hotel tonight.

I don't have to do anything

I don't want to do.

I will go back to
my hotel tonight.

What're you really after?

You have the contract
with Colby Enterprises.

I don't know any
business secrets

that might slip
after too much wine.

Why do you persist?

Because I love you.

Oh, I've been in love with you
from the first time I saw you.

Uh, you were
a blushing bride then.

That doesn't sound like me,

I'm not the blushing type.

Oh, but you were then.

That day I walked in on you.

The Colby yacht.

You were dressing in your cabin.

Don't you remember the deckhand

who walked in on you?

Oh, my God.

Were you that deckhand?

I told you once,
I come from a humble background.

I am actually embarrassed.

I remember, Jason had you fired,

he had you thrown off the ship.

It was worth it.

Were you really that deckhand,
or is it just a story

you've picked up from someone?

Sable.

Sable.

Sabella.

La bella.

Sabella.

I've never cheated
on my husband.

And as long as I am married
to him, I don't propose to.

As long as you're
married to him?

Thank you for the theatre

and the midnight supper,
I'll find my own way out.

I have something
to show you first.

Uh, you forget I've already
seen your red cheeks.

Uh-huh, oh, this is different.

You!

You were the anonymous bidder.

Yes they made me
quite comfortable

on the balcony,
I bid from there.

I told you my 2 million limit
and you betrayed me,

I will never forgive you,
Zachary Powers.

Not even if I told you,
I bought it for you?

For me?

I could've got that painting,

and for less than 2 million,

if you hadn't kept
bidding against me.

But see how nicely we managed
to inflate its value?

I didn't want you
to get your Matisse

because of Jason Colby's money.

I wanted this
to be a gift from me.

You really thought
that you could buy me?

Not with all
the money in the world.

Look, I just got off the
chopper from the airport,

you can tell Blake for me,

we're on top of that San
Miguel harbor problem.

Why don't you fill me
in personally, Jason,

I'll be in Los Angeles
later on today.

How's your schedule?

Well, I'll have to check.

Uh, we'll touch base
in the morning.

Adam's flying in this afternoon.

Well, don't make a liar
out of me, Garrett,

are we on top of
this harbor thing?

We blocked the injunction
against us temporarily.

What about our Captain Livadas?

We find him yet?

Not yet, he left for Athens
within hours of the spill.

Yeah, that's convenient.

I wanna check on him,
his background,

previous commands, everything.

What about you, Miles?

What about me?

If this spill is sabotage,

I wanna know who's behind it.

Obviously someone who wants to

wreck our pipeline deal.

Or just someone who
hates your guts.

It may take a while
to run down the list.

I'll, uh,
get started on Livadas.

Garrett,

I can give you my list
of contacts on Livadas.

So, did you get all your
business done in London?

Yup.

Jeff got a call
from his mother this morning,

seems she's getting married.

Anyone I know?

Miles, I'm tired and I'm busy,

what're you trying to tell me?

You struck out, didn't you?

Somebody slipped
in there and beat you to it.

How does it feel,
not getting what you want?

Watch it, Miles.

I have been watching.

I saw you with Francesca,

cheating.

Cheating on my mother.

You saw no such thing,
it's not true.

Sure.

It's not cheating
if you do it, right?

I'll tell you this once,

stay out of my marriage.

Yeah, like you stayed
out of mine?

You started giving
me orders about that,

the minute I brought
Fallon into the house.

I had to check with you first,

before I could even talk to her.

I promised Blake...

Yes, and you promised my mother.

Or doesn't she matter anymore?

I won't discuss this with you.

Right.

Jason Colby gets
caught red-handed,

and nobody's supposed
to talk about it.

Well, you're wrong,

you just haven't got
the guts to admit it.

Wayne, I know
I'm right about this.

You're gonna put our
Country label on the charts.

Keep talkin',
Duke's lappin' it up.

We'll do an album
and a couple of videos,

right away.

And, uh, Wayne,

you're my first big
project at Titania.

I feel real good about that.

You have beautiful hands.

And Wayne,
I don't want you to worry

about the blindness.

What do you mean?

I just mean that
as far as we're concerned here,

it's not going to be a problem.

Hey, don't feel sorry for me.

I got a head full of visions,

and a way to make
people see them.

Now, that's not
such a raw deal, is it?

Wayne, I didn't mean...

I can see without eyes,
Miss Colby,

just like I can sing
without your company's help.

Wayne, Wayne, please.

I'm so sorry.

Please stay.

Besides, if,
if I don't sign you,

I can't write off this picnic.

You remembered?

I can smell the brie.

What about the Perrier?

Teasing the blind man?

That's more like it.

You just got yourself a singer.

Tell L.B. I'll be up
in 10 minutes, so we can...

Thank you.

Hello, Adam,

I didn't know you were in town.

Not what I'd call
a warm welcome,

but I guess it'll have to do.

The last time we met
I was unfair to you.

That wasn't me,

I'm sorry.

Well, I can't say
it didn't hurt.

I'm glad you got
your memory back,

now you know I never
meant you any harm.

So, what're you
doing in California?

I've got some
business with Jeff,

but I was hoping
to see you first.

Well, that was good of you.

Fallon,

Maybe someday you'll realize,

I really do want
to be a brother to you.

My memory is back, Adam.

I can't say I remember
you as loving and caring.

Well, I wish you'd try to
see things differently.

Hope you haven't been
waiting long, Adam.

Fallon's been
keeping me company.

If I don't get to see you
before you go back to Denver,

have a good trip.

She seems all right.

Let's not talk about Fallon,
all right?

She's my sister,

I'll talk about her
whenever I want.

Look, I didn't do
anything to her,

that's all been
cleared up, so lay off.

You did something to
push her over the edge.

Where there's smoke,
there's fire?

Thank you very much.

Look, Jeff, I came here to help.

Sure, th-that sounds
like you, Adam.

Now, why don't we
get this over with?

The sooner you're
out of here, the better.

Fine.

It's like seeing your whole
life pass in front of you.

All these memories.

Uh...

Oh, wait a minute, I think,

I think this is the letter
I've been looking for.

Two years after my father died.

Ah.

"Dear, Cecil,"

"this is hard to write."

"Even now, Phillip's death is..."

"is still too fresh."

"My beautiful baby brother."

"Francesca won't settle
here with her son,"

"and I doubt you'll persuade
her to live in Denver,"

"or to leave Jeffrey with you."

"He is all she has now."

"Keep this
in your confidence, Cecil,

"but I intend to give
Francesca's boy,

"all the shares
in Colby Enterprises

"that Dad left me.

"They would've gone to Phillip,
if he had lived,

"and one day,
his son should have them.

I feel you should know this... ".

No, the rest is not important.

Thank you, Conny.

Oh, I knew it. I knew it,

I knew it,
I knew it had to be someplace.

Now, not bad
for a crazy old lady.

It does weaken Sable's case.

Weaken?
It blows her out of the water.

That is, unless she can prove

you were dotty 25 years ago.

Oh, I think I'll
pay her a visit.

You'll notice I'm
walking softly,

but that's because I'm
carrying a big stick.

Congratulations, Jeff.
You get to keep the loot.

I'm sure you're delighted, Adam.

Indeed, I am.

Really, I am.

Not by that letter,

but by this one.

Also from Cecil's
Logan Rhinewood file.

Not even Alexis saw this one.

What is it?

A letter to Cecil from Phillip,

your mother's husband.

Yeah, my father, what of it?

Written in Saigon,
just before he died.

Why don't you read it,

you're sitting down.

Oh, my God!

Ah, the good part.

"And I know that the baby
Francesca is carrying,"

"is not my child."

What!?

It's very simple,

Phillip wasn't your father,

he says so, right there.

Who'd have believed it, Jeff?

After going to all this trouble,

to save your
$500 million windfall?

It turns out,
that you're not even a Colby.

Yes, yes, George, I know,
but I'm running late.

Well, keep them happy
with caviar and champagne,

I'll be with you
in half an hour.

Goodbye.

Hi, Sable.

Hi, Conny, what is it now?

Ah, I've come to celebrate.

Let's see, scotch...

Celebrate?

Join me?

Huh, I'm not in the mood,

and I have a show
to open in half an hour,

but do enjoy.

Oh, take it, take it,
you're going to need it.

Are you all right, Conny?

You're sounding a little funny.

Still there,
pushing, aren't you?

You know, I almost admire you.

Conny, I don't have all night.

- What're you talking about?
- This.

Ah-ah!

Uh-uh, now this is an
old letter I wrote,

to my brother Cecil,

and when your lawyer reads it,

he is going to beg you
to drop the suit.

What does it say?

You're going to lose, Sable.

You're going to lose more
than you already have.

Mm-hmm.

You're talking
in riddles again, Conny,

and I haven't got the
time for all this.

I'm late.

Oh, I can wait, Sable.

I can wait.

Excuse me, madam,
Mr. Colby has arrived home.

Oh, thank you, Henderson.

No answer?

Oh, what time is it in London?

No, no message.

Jason.

Sable.

I had to find out
you were back from Henderson.

You could've come
and said hello,

I'm just down the hall,
remember?

How was New York?

Not good.

I didn't get
the painting for you.

I am sorry,
I was counting on it.

That's too bad, I know
how much it meant to you.

How was London,
your business trip go well?

Fine.

What luck, you being there

when Frankie
announced her engagement.

Yes, lucky.

Well, what's he like?
Did you like him?

Is he gonna make her happy?

It's what she wants.

On the phone,
she sounded almost reluctant.

Did you get that impression?

Just the opposite,
she seemed very determined.

Well, of course,
Roger is what she needs.

Huh, he's got nothing
to do with the Colbys.

It is sad, isn't it?

She's never had any good
from your family.

First Phillip,
and then Cecil taking her son.

She hasn't had any luck
or happiness with us.

And she deserves that,
don't you think?

Don't you, Jason?

Yes, she does.

Jason, would it make
any difference to us,

if I dropped the suit
against Conny?

You going to do that?

I am considering it, yes.

I've had a lot of time
to think in New York.

Would it change things?

Would be a start.

Oh, Jason, I know
we've had our problems, but...

Sable, we'll talk, we...

Hmm, we have to, but not now.

There's a private viewing
at The Colby Collection tonight.

Come with me, like the old days?

It's been a long day,
I'm still on London time.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Mmm.

My God,
do you know what this means?

Is it true, Conny?
Is this my father's handwriting?

I don't know, but if it is true,
then Sable wins.

What're you talking about?

My father's will,

it prohibits giving shares
to anyone outside the family.

Oh, Conny,
I don't care about the money,

I wanna know who my father is.

Where did you get this?

Adam brought it with the others.

He's the only one
who knows about it.

No, somehow, somehow,

Sable is behind this.

Where is Adam?

He's upstairs,
getting ready to leave.

I wanna talk to him.
Please, get him.

Now!

Jeff, what, uh... Oh, Henderson?

Ah, yes, madam.

Has my car been brought round?

I'm sorry, madam, I haven't
been able to locate William.

Never mind, I'm late,
I'll drive myself.

Sable, Sable!

Sable, Sable!

Oh, my God, what have I done?

Conny?

I'm sorry, sir, you can't go,
it's against regulations.

I don't give a damn
for your regulations,

I'm riding with her.

You take my car,
follow up with the ambulance.

Jason, I'll come with you.

I don't want you
anywhere near her.

Oh, forgive me, Conny,
it was an accident.

I've never begged
for anything in my life,

but I'm begging you now.

You mustn't die.

Please.

Oh, please, don't die.

Oh.

Phillip?
