All language subtitles for Dynasty s04e05 The Hearing 2.eng

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Harold. Harold, this is Mrs. Colby.
Call the police. l've been robbed.

- Danny.
- And his old man.

Just dropping by
to thank the pretty lady.

Come on in.

What are you thanking me for?

For what you did for us today
on the witness stand.

Well, you're both vey welcome. Hi.

The way things went today,

l'm sure now
that l will be keeping my son.

Well, l'm happy for you, Steven.

You don't look so happy.
What's the matter?

Oh, it's iust this trial
and what it's doing to the family.

l know.
And eveybody's going to get hurt.

Well, Blake's already been.

That testimony Alexis gave,
damning him in such an unfair way.

He asked for it, Kystle.
He started this whole mess.

And there's a lot of truth
in what my mother accused him of.

Boy, that man hates me.

- l'll take care of these right away.
- Thank you, Nadine.

- Good morning, Mrs. Colby.
- Good morning.

Good morning, Mother.

Good morning, darling.
l'm on my way to court

and l wanted to stop by
and see you and your new office.

And l wanted to buy the hatchet.

ln whom?

Vey funny, darling.

l realise, Adam, that l've hurt you
unintentionally from time to time,

but that's all in the past now.

Look, l want you
to move back into my apartment.

You don't belong in Blake's house.

And l do belong with you.

Yes. l need you.

What about Fallon?
She's footloose these days.

Your sister and l
are not on the best of terms.

And your favourite,
Steven and his son?

Steven obviously prefers
to be where he is.

Adam, you don't belong here,
working for Blake,

and l need you back at Colbyco.

Why? You have platoons
of good lanyers over there.

Better than one who went to Yale.

Something you said to me once

after you'd imbibed
a little bit too much champagne.

Darling, we all say things
that we don't mean occasionally.

Not you, Mother.

You're always vey direct
in what you say.

Except for now.
Why are you really here?

Adam, l'm alone.

l'm completely alone
in that enormous penthouse

and last night
l could have been murdered.

The police told me that
had l been there during that robbey,

l could have been killed.

l'm vey sory to hear that.

- Are you?
- Yes.

Well, then help me.
Come back to me.

l can't. More honestly, l won't.

Oh, Adam.

Please understand
what l'm going through.

Be smart, Adam. Drop the hostility.

- Smart?
- Yes.

Surely you must realise that when

the Denver-Carrington-Colbyco merger
goes through

that your father
is going to be working for me

and so, my dear, will you.

l'll deal with that problem
when it comes up.

Now l have a meeting to get to.
If you'll excuse me, Mother.

The night your brother Steven
got back from Singapore,

will you tell the court
what happened that night, Mrs. Colby?

My father and Steven
arrived from the airport,

we were all waiting for him
at the house.

lt was a beautiful moment,
seeing him again.

We kissed and hugged

and told him how happy we were
that he was alive.

Then my stepmother, Kystle--

Kystle Carrington.

--came down the stairs
carying Steven's son

and she handed him to him.

Do you remember
what your brother said, if anything,

when he first held his infant son?

He said, ''My son.''

He said it twice
and he kissed the baby.

ls there anything else special
you remember about that night?

Yes. It was about 2 in the morning
and l went into the nursey

to check on the babies--
Steven's and my own.

--to see if they were asleep.

And when l walked in,
Steven was standing over Danny's crib

looking down at his son.

Go on.

Well, it was the way he did it.

lt was vey tender
and with a lot of love.

- Paternal love.
- Paternal love?

Yes.

lt was there from those first moments
and it never changed.

Your Honour, eveything l've said
about my brother today is the truth,

but some things have been said
about my father that aren't and l--

That's all, Mrs. Colby. Thank you.

Mr. Laird, do you wish
to cross-examine the witness?

No, Your Honour,
and l respectfully request a recess.

All right, Mr. Laird.
You may step down, Mrs. Colby.

This court will reconvene at 2:OO.

All rise.

My witness
should be at my office by now.

l'll do my briefing in the car
on the way back here.

About the briefing of that witness,
Andrew.

Remember, l don't want my son
degraded or humiliated.

We'll say what we have to, Blake.

Steven,
l just couldn't stay away again.

l'm glad you came.

Well, l suppose
we'd better go to lunch.

Blake.

Apparently, Andrew's choosing
not to cross-examine me, why is that?

- l don't know. You'll have to ask him.
- He's gone.

What are you afraid of?

That l'll reveal more truths about you
in the courtroom?

The day that l'm afraid of your truths,
Alexis,

there will be snowflakes in hell.

Would you like to have lunch?

l have to get back to the hotel,
l'm sory.

See you later.

Fallon.

What is it?

Look, whatever our differences are,

we're still both on the right side,
Steven's side.

ln our own separate fashions.

l want to ask you something.

Your father has denied me the right
to see Little Blake under his roof.

He's told me to make a deal with you.
So let's make one.

l want you to bring the baby
to see me.

Well, the baby has a routine
and l'm vey busy at the hotel.

Excuse me, Mrs. Colby.

- Yes?
- Yes?

Well, the man iust said, ''Mrs. Colby.''
The call is from Billings, Montana.

Oh, that's for me. Thanks.

- Yes?
- Mr. Carr�ngton,

your mother's here to see you.

Send her in, Nadine.

- Adam--
- l know how persistent you are

but l haven't changed my mind
since this morning.

Well, maybe you should

because iust possibly
it's not healthy living where you are.

You see, l'm aware of the fact

that Fallon has vey little love
for her older brother.

She hasn't booby trapped my room yet.
Would you like some wine, Mother?

No, l wouldn't. And l don't think
this is something to make jokes about.

l know Fallon a lot better
than you do.

She's vey bright
and she can be vey nasty.

l can look after myself.

Not if you don't know
what's going on.

Oh, Adam.

Despite our differences,
l'm still your mother.

And l don't want one of my children
hurting the other.

So is there something in your past
that you haven't told me about?

My past is like
the proverbial open book.

Open and kind of boring.

Well, Fallon isn't bored.

My instincts tell me
that she's pying into it,

tying to find
some way of harming you.

- How could Fallon harm me?
- l don't know.

Why else would she receive
a phone call from Billings, Montana

from someone who couldn't wait
until she got back into her own office?

lt was probably someone
wanting a reservation at La Mirage.

Well, they have a reservations clerk
at La Mirage.

No, no. This was a call that your sister
was obviously waiting for

from your hometown.

Yes, of course.

Some absurd notion she got
from a senile doctor from Billings

that l had something to do
with a poison case, which l did not.

Poison?

Does this have anything to do
with Jeff?

Only in Fallon's mind.

But not to wory, Mother,

the old man assured her
that he was mistaken.

Well, l hope that's the whole stoy,
Adam.

l don't want any more
unpleasant surprises.

The last time you surprised me,
l kept my mouth shut

even though, thanks to you,
poor Jeff nearly died.

Jeff is alive and well.

Yes, luckily.

Let me warn you about something,
Adam.

Even though l'm your mother,

don't count on
my maternal loyalties twice.

Montana?
You wanna fly up to Billings now?

l've cleared it with Daddy's pilot.

We can leave now and fly to Billings,

find the man l'm looking for
and be back home in time for dinner.

This guy Jud Barrows,
you said he's a foreman there?

He's an ex-foreman
for a chemical plant

that was sued by a worker
who was poisoned by mercuric oxide.

He's the man
who has all the answers we need.

Well, why don't you talk to him
on the phone?

Because now he's working on a ranch
outside of town.

Ranches have phones.

Okay, l have this gut feeling

that l'm not gonna be able
to get vey far with this man by phone,

or even in person alone.

That doesn't exactly sound
like Fallon.

We both know
l can take care of myself.

But l don't know about dealing
with these backnroods types,

which l figure this guy is.

So, Jeff, won't you help me?

We can get to the bottom of this
once and for all.

No, l don't know, Fallon.
l got a desk full of problems.

Jeff, you and l may have gone
in totally different directions,

but the one thing l've never
made any bones about is this:

You, Jeffrey Colby,

are the single nicest man
l've ever known in my entire life.

And ever since this happened,

the thought that somebody
could have actually done this to you--

Poisoned you.
--has never gone away.

So won't you help me find out?
Come with me now, this afternoon.

Well, l've always been a sucker
for a lady in distress.

l'll put my problems on hold.

Mr. Carrington, l've been vey patient
with your request for a delay,

but if your counsel doesn't arrive
in the next five minutes,

l simply have to proceed
without him.

Your Honour, l can only imagine

that there's been a traffic tie-up
somewhere

and that he's on his way.

Judge Kendall, l ask the court's
forgiveness for my tardiness, l--

Let's get on with it, Mr. Laird,
we don't have all day.

All right, l would like to call
my next witness.

Vey well.

l call Samantha Josephine Carrington
to the stand.

- Please state your name.
- Samantha Josephine Carrington.

Place your left hand on this Bible
and raise your right hand.

Do you swear that the testimony
you may give before this court

shall be the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth,

- so help you God?
- l do.

Please be seated.

Oh, God. Blake.

l'm the divorced wife
of Steven Carrington

and the mother
of Steven Daniel Carrington.

Let's talk about Blake Carrington
for a moment.

lt's been intimated by some people
that at one point

he tried to buy your permission
to adopt your son, is that true?

No, it's not.
Mr. Carrington tried to get--

Tried to persuade me to stay in Denver
and rear the baby myself.

- But l didn't wanna do this.
- Why not?

And please answer a little more loudly,
there's nothing to be frightened about.

l didn't wanna do this
because of my career as a model.

l felt that Danny would have a better
life with his grandfather than with me.

But afterwards,
when Steven turned up alive

and wanting custody of the baby,
l agreed.

And tell us, please, are you happy
that you came to this agreement?

- No, sir, l'm not.
- You are not.

Would you please tell the court
why you are not?

Steven violated our bargain.

Please explain that.

The understanding
was that he'd rear our child alone,

not with a gay lover.

Your Honour,
the witness is presuming that--

- Proceed with your direct, Mr. Laird.
- Yes, Your Honour.

Mrs. Carrington, when you were
working in Hollywood for a brief time,

- it was as a model, was it not?
- That's right.

And you worked specifically
for a photographer

named Dante Messina, is that true?

Yes, Ace Messina.

Would you describe Mr. Messina
for us physically?

That is to say,
was he a handsome man?

Objection.

This line of questioning
is totally irrelevant, Your Honour.

We will prove to the court in a moment,
Your Honour, that it is relevant.

Overruled, Mr. Deegan.
The witness will answer the question.

Yes, l'd say Ace
was a handsome man.

A handsome man.

Now, when Steven Carrington
came to visit you in Hollywood,

did he ever meet Mr. Messina?

Yes, he did.

You're frowning.

Was there anything about that meeting
to upset you?

- Yes.
- What specifically?

l found out later
that while l was out of the room,

- Steven made a pass at Ace.
- Lying crap!

Mr. Deegan,

would you have your client refrain
from interrupting these proceedings?

Now, Mrs. Carrington,

about a year later after you had
had your child,

and after Steven Carrington
had come back from Indonesia,

he came to visit you again this time
in New York, is that correct?

Yes, he wanted ''to have a discussion
about our future,'' as he put it.

l see. Would you please tell us
where this discussion took place?

ln a restaurant he dragged me to.

Was it a French restaurant?
Italian? Chinese?

lt was a gay restaurant.

A gay restaurant.

Was there anything else about it
that might be of interest to this court?

Your Honour,
Mr. Laird is leading the witness.

- Rephrase the question, Mr. Laird.
- Vey well.

A gay restaurant.
Now, why do you say that?

lt was vey obvious.
All you had to do was look around.

l found out that it was Steven's
hangout with Ted Dinard,

his former lover, when they were
living together in New York.

The whole thing upset me.

Now, on the night in question,

did anything else in particular
happened to upset you?

Yes.
Steven began to ogle another man.

- Finally....
- And finally, what?

He sent me home by taxi,

so he could stay and like he said,
''do his own thing.''

Liar. You're lying!

Sit down and be quiet,
Mr. Carrington,

or l'll have you held in contempt
of this court, is that understood?

l have no further questions
of this witness, Your Honour.

- Thank you, Mrs. Carrington.
- Cross, Mr. Deegan?

Damn it, Andrew.
l warned you not to go this far.

And l warned you when this started,

that your priority had to be
either your son or your grandson,

and that you couldn't have it
both ways.

Mrs. Carrington,
why are you lying to this court?

l'm not lying.

Are you saying these things,
these vile untruths,

simply to revenge yourself
on your ex-husband?

l want nothing from him,
including revenge.

You want nothing from him?

lsn't it true that you divorced Steven

because he wasn't wealthy
in his own right?

lf you're calling me a gold digger,
you've got--

l'm asking you a question.
l want an answer. Yes or no?

All right, l'll give it to you.

lt's no.

l left Steven

because all l ever wanted
was a man l could love

and who would love me back.

And only me.

Those are tears you're wiping
from your eyes, l assume?

lnvisible as they are
to the naked eye?

Tell me, are you tying to paint yourself
as the wounded party?

What does that mean?

Are you going to tell us
how you lay alone in bed at night

while your husband was out
with other men?

lf so, you possibly know
the names of these men? Do you?

l don't know.

They didn't phone him on occasion?

You didn't answer the phone
on occasion?

You didn't listen in on occasion
to their assignation making?

Mrs. Garrett?

What is he tying to do to me?

Mr. Deegan,
you will stop harassing this witness.

Harassing this witness?

l have no more questions.

The witness may step down.
Let's call for recess for 20 minutes.

All rise.

Good afternoon.

Mr. Carrington.

You shouldn't be cooped up
in the house on a day like this.

Beethoven wouldn't be.

That's why he called that
''The Moonlight Sonata.''

On a day like this, Beethoven
would be outside taking a walk.

lf it's any of your business,
which it isn't,

l don't feel like walking.

A drive then, how about it?

l had a light day
thought l'd wanna have a swim,

but l'd rather drive you into town for
some fresh air and an ice cream soda.

Or a dill pickle.
Mother-to-be's choice.

Kirby, l meant what l said
when l moved in yesterday.

You've got nothing to be afraid of
from me anymore.

l'm happy for you about the baby,
l only want you to be happy too.

Excuse me, Miss Kirby?

Your husband's on the telephone,
Iong distance.

Long distance? From where?

He said Billings, Montana.
He's with Miss Fallon.

Thank you, Marie.

_e55?

l'm all right.

Well, if l don't sound it,

it's because l'm wondering
what you're doing with Fallon.

Oh, l see.

No, l understand. Goodbye.

As the expression goes,
l couldn't help overhearing.

What's the problem?

The plane--
l don't know, something technical.

They can't fly back till tomorrow.

That's strange.

l mean, why couldn't they
just take a commercial flight?

Apparently, they're not finished
with the business they went there for.

Something about
a chemical company.

Oh, yes, l did make an advance
toward Ace Messina in Hollywood.

Would you tell us about it?

The creep
was photographing my wife

who was almost nude
when l walked in on them.

And l picked him up bodily
and flung him out of his studio

so l could ty to persuade her
to return with me.

Return to my life and our marriage.

That was the extent of my advance.

Now, let's go back to New York
and your ex-wife's account

of the restaurant
where you allegedly dragged her.

Will you tell the court
the true circumstances of her leaving?

lt wasn't because
l was ogling another man.

That was not the question,
Mr. Carrington. Answer the question.

She left-- Or l should say,
she walked out on me

when she learned
that if we did reconcile

she would have to return with me
to Denver

and live on my income,
and not my father's fortune.

l see. One last question.

Tell us about your son

and whether you consider yourself
a good father to him.

l would never have returned
to Denver,

to my life as a Carrington,

if my father hadn't informed me
in Singapore that l had fathered a son.

From that moment on,

and then from the moment
when l took him from my stepmother

and held him in my arms,

my son, Danny,
became the focal point of my life.

The most important part
of my entire existence

is the love and the nurturing
of my son.

Thank you.
l have no more questions.

Mr. Laird, cross?

lt's interesting. Vey interesting.

We've all been sitting here
for two days now

listening to witness after witness.

Some of them hostile
to Steven Carrington

and others warmly--

Oh, so warmly singing his praises
as God's young gift to total goodness.

But the one distinctive area missing,
intentional or otherwise,

has been testimony
shedding any light whatsoever

on the one key issue in this case.

And that is the sexual preferences
of Steven Carrington.

Now, we all know
that he had a male lover in New York.

And we know that he lives with a male
in an apartment here in Denver.

And that male happens to be
his attorney, Mr. Christopher Deegan,

who is representing him in this case.

Now, Steven, would you tell us,
is Mr. Deegan your present lover?

l refuse to answer that.
That's nobody's business but my own.

Please answer the question,
Mr. Carrington.

Will you repeat the question,
Mr. Laird?

Yes, Your Honour.

ls Mr. Deegan your present lover
or isn't he?

l won't answer that.

What he's asking in essence
is if l'm guilty of being gay.

Well, nobody, not my father's lanyer,

not you, not anybody in this courtroom
or outside it

has the right to ask this
because there is no guilt in that issue.

Eveybody in this state
and in this county

has the right
to live his own life the way he wants.

Provided he's a decent human,
isn't a man entitled

to raise his own child
whether he's homosexual or not?

l am and will always be
Danny's father.

And a good one,
no matter what my lifestyle is.

Mr. Carrington,

this court is tying to decide
what's in the best interest of your son.

So will you please give us an answer
to Mr. Laird's question?

You just got it.

Don't be impudent.
Now, is that all you have to say?

That's my final answer.

This court is in recess
until tomorrow morning at 1 O:OO,

in which time it is vey likely

that in the light of today's
illuminating testimony,

l will have a iudgement to render
in this case.

You may you step down,
Mr. Carrington.

All rise.

You iust made a big mistake.
A vey big mistake, Steven.

Why?
Why for God's sake did you do it?

- Hello?
- Mother.

Oh, hello, Adam.
What can l do for you?

l'm calling from my office, Mother.

l've iust heard from my contact
in the China Sea offshore leases,

the negotiations l was handling
for Colbyco,

and there are some routine papers
that need signing.

May l br�ng them around
�n the morn�ng?

Bring them around? Well, that's
extremely conscientious of you, Adam,

considering that you've
just changed horses, as it were.

Mother. Mother,
no matter what horse l'm riding,

l haven't forgotten the point you made,
and so pointedly, this morning.

As soon as the merger is finalised,

you are going to be the ringmaster
of this megabuck circus.

Be here at 8:30, Adam.

l will.

- Good night, Mother.
- Bye.

l'll say it one more time, only because
it's that important, Steven.

Go back on the stand tomorrow
and answer the man's question.

- Yes, please.
- No way, Chris.

You heard what l said today.

My feelings haven't changed
over two glasses of wine.

Look, l completely support you.

But we're not lovers,
we're friends, that's all.

And l can't bear to see you
Iose your son for a principle.

Can't. What kind of a father
am l gonna make for Danny

if l don 't have any principles
to teach him

and l'm not true
to my own convictions?

You're not going to make any kind of
father if Danny's taken away from you.

And unless l can come up with
a powerhouse summation tomorrow,

that's probably
the way it's going to be.

Where are you going?

Back to my small office for a few hours
to ty and devise a big miracle.

- Night.
- Night.

No. He's right, Steven.

He's not right, damn it.

l'm sory.

But don't you see?

l tried to tell my father
and he wouldn't listen to me,

that's why we're in court.

l've gotta win this thing
on an honest principle

that a man is entitled
to live his own life the way he chooses.

Otherwise, evey time
some guy walks in my door

my father
can make a federal case out of it.

l've gotta stand on my own principles,
or else what kind of a man am l?

l know.

lt's so good to be here with you.

God, l need you.

Will you stay with me tonight,
Claudia?

l really want to, Steven,

but there's something
that l have to do.

That call was from the owner
of the ranch.

Any word on Jud Barrows?

He's moving cattle down
to a lower range early in the morning.

He'll be able to meet with us
tomorrow around noon.

lt's gonna be a relief to find out,
finally, one way or the other.

A vey welcome relief.

Well, no matter which way it turns out,

l'm really impressed
with the way you've turned out.

A lot different
from the girl-woman l married.

Are you gonna tell me about her?

Not all, iust some of the more
childlike moments

like when we she'd creep out of our
bed when something was troubling her

and climb a tree out in the front
and did nothing but brood.

But that girl-woman has turned out
to be a lot more woman.

- She takes action.
- As a matter of fact, she does.

Tell me, Fallon, are you happy
with the way it's turned out?

You answer me first. Are you?

Before you do,
l'll let you in on something.

l saw your look after you hung up
from talking with Kirby this afternoon.

ls she upset
that you're marooned here with me?

With Kirby's moods these days,
it's hard to tell what she's feeling.

What's so funny?

We're both evading the issue.

Here's to time-out.

Happy evasion.

l'd better order another bottle of wine,
the night is young.

- Your key, madam.
- Thank you.

And your luggage.

Thank you vey much, kind sir.

You know,
about your question at dinner,

yes, l am happy right now.

l think, happier than l've been
for a long time, how about you?

l'm happy too, Jeff.

Can l repeat a confession
l made to you once?

Depends on the confession.

There's a part of me
that's never going to stop loving you.

- Oh, Jeff.
- Never.

You're the first girl l ever loved,
do you know that?

Yes, l know that.

What are you thinking right now?
What are you feeling?

How this moment--

This moment what?

l want you iust as much
as you want me but--

No buts.

We're alone
and we both want each other.

And the rest of the world
is a million miles away.

Well, what did you
wanna see me about, Blake?

l had to come here.
l had to ty to make you understand

what you wouldn't let me explain to you
today in court.

When l agreed, reluctantly,

to let Andrew question Sammy Jo
on the stand,

it was only to prove
that Alexis' testimony was a lie.

That l bought little Danny
for adoption.

But l had no idea
that Sammy Jo would go that far.

That she would hurl all that--
That poison at Steven.

l see.

l believe you.

- Is that it?
- No. No, not quite.

l know you, Kystle.

You're not a woman to say,
''l told you so.'' So l'll say it for you.

You did tell me so.

You told me that if l went to court
with this custody thing,

that it would bring
nothing but heartache to eveyone.

lncluding myself.

Chris Deegan
seems to think you've won.

That the iudge
will rule in your favour tomorrow.

Andrew thinks the same.

But if l do win,
it will be a hollow victoy that l've won.

A desperately hollow victoy.

Thank you for coming downstairs.
Thank you for hearing me out.

- Who is it?
- Claudia Blaisdel.

You obviously have something
you wanna talk about.

Well, it's late
and l can't see you now.

Well, that's too bad
because l'm going to see you.

What do you want?

l want you to go back
to that hearing tomorrow

and retract those vicious lies
that you told in court today.

Lies? Who the hell are you
to call me a liar?

Someone who knows the truth.

You painted a picture of Steven
as not a man.

And l know for a fact that he is.

Oh, that's right. The woman
who taught Steven about sex

but obviously wasn't good enough at it
to land him.

Well, l did and l lived to regret it.
So you're welcome to him.

And as for me
taking back one word of what l said,

you really are a crazy lady still,

in or out of that place
where they had you locked up.

Sammy Jo, what you think of me
doesn't mean a thing.

l couldn't care less.

But l am going to ask you now
to think about your child.

How what happens
in that court tomorrow

could affect Danny
for the rest of his life.

Which is none of your business,
Iady.

And Steven sure is a gutless wonder
to send you here to fight his battles.

l know it's late
and l know l should have called.

But what l have to say l--
l just couldn't handle over the phone.

There's no time to waste, Steven.

Do you mind telling me
what you're talking about?

lf you've ever believed in me,
if you've ever trusted me,

you've got to do so now
and agree with what l say.

l'm not going to let you
Iose your son, Steven.

l'm not gonna let anyone
ever take Danny away from you.

l can stop Blake. l've got the answer.
