Announcer: Last time, on "The Colbys"...
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!
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.
I was just starting to trust you. Respect you.
But now I'm beginning to think you put Miles up to this.
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.
Think what you're doing to Jeff... to the whole family.
I don't care about you, you slut!
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?
You "killed" Randall. You'll pay for that.
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.
Will you tell the court in layman's terms
what this report says?
Phillip Colby was sterile. He'd always been sterile.
He couldn't have been the father.
Arthur: So whoever the father was...
the man sitting over there...
is not a Colby.
Order. Clear this room if necessary.
It is your opinion, then, Col. Holmes,
that Phillip Colby couldn't possibly have fathered a child?
It's not opinion. It's a fact.
Phillip Colby came to my office
when he got back from his last leave.
He was depressed, frustrated...
Objection! Is that fact or opinion?
Arthur: Learned opinion, Your Honor.
Based on Lt. Colby's reason for consulting with Col. Holmes.
Overruled.
Judge: Continue.
Arthur: Did Lt. Colby state
the reason for his depression?
Yes, he did. He wanted a child
and he was afraid his motility count was low.
So as any reasonable man would do,
he asked you to perform the appropriate test.
- That's correct. - And the results of that test?
Actually, there were two tests, both with the same results.
They confirmed that Phillip Colby
was in fact, sterile.
Your witness.
No questions.
Recall Francesca Langdon.
- "Miracles"? - I'll repeat the question.
Do you believe in miracles?
I don't understand.
Let me define my terms.
A "miracle" is something impossible.
Something outside the natural order of things...
For example... a lame man walking.
A deaf man hearing.
A...
a sterile man fathering a child.
- I told you the truth. - Jeff Colby is not,
cannot be, the son of your husband, Phillip Colby.
Isn't that the truth?
My son is a Colby.
Please. Enlighten us.
How can your son be a Colby
when the man you claim to be his father was sterile?
- I give you my word. - Don't give us your word.
Give us the name of your child's father.
We're waiting, Lady Langdon.
Yes or no, milady?
When your husband was away,
did you sleep with other men?
Once. There was one other man.
Arthur: One is all it takes.
At last, we're getting somewhere.
Your husband was sterile. You had a lover.
That man must, therefore, be your son's father.
Tell us his name.
The witness will answer the question.
Judge: Who is the father of your child?
Your Honor...
I'm his father.
Jeff's my son.
That's a lie! It's not true.
Jason, tell them it's not true.
Judge: Order!
Reporter: Mr. Colby! Mr. Colby!
Did you know about your mother's affair with Jason Colby?
Reporter ♪2: Lady Langdon, can you prove that Jason Colby is the father
or are you just trying to secure your son's...
Get out of here. I'll take care of it.
Reporter: Lady Langdon!
Jeff: Excuse me. Come with me, Mother.
- Jeff, you're hurting me! - Fine, now we're even.
Jason: Frankie!
I want to talk to her.
Sable...
Take me home.
Now!
Reporter: Lord Langdon, how will the publicity affect your career?
Stop... Miles!
Jason: Miles! Wait!
Miles! I'm sorry.
This is why you didn't want me to go to court.
You knew about Jeff all along.
I didn't know he was my son!
I had no idea until today, you've got to believe me.
Why? Because Jason Colby says so?
When I saw you and Francesca together,
I asked you for the truth. You lied to me.
You've been lying to all of us. Why should I believe you now?
- Listen... - All my life!
I thought I had to live up to you,
that I could never be the son you deserved.
Not anymore. You may be Jeff's father,
but to me, you're nothing.
Listen!
Come on, Jason. I'll give you a ride home.
Frankie: Jeff, stop the car.
Jeff: Can't run away this time, Mother.
- Frankie: Please. - Jeff: Please what?
Tell you it's all right? You think you're the only one who hurts?
Well, I've got news for you.
Please believe me.
Until today, I honestly thought Philip was your father.
Oh, sure you did.
I don't believe in fairy tales, Mother, and certainly not yours.
I thought it was true.
You don't know anything about the truth.
You cheated me out of my childhood, you cheated on your husband...
But why for Jason Colby?
You knew, didn't you?
- That's why you stayed away. - No.
You knew that Jason was my father, but you just couldn't bear to tell me!
I ran away. I was ashamed.
I was ashamed to be in the same house with Jason.
I wanted to forget what happened that night.
I wanted to have my baby... Phillip's baby... away from here.
You stayed away, even after my father died, for 27 years?!
I promised Cecil and he promised me
you'd get your inheritance if I stayed out of your life.
Well, I wish to God you had.
Because before you showed up, at least I had...
At least I had the fantasy of having a father.
But now it's all just lies... Your lies!
I used to dream about meeting you again!
But that dream has turned into a nightmare.
Henderson. Has Mrs. Colby come home yet?
She's in her room, Mr. Colby.
She asked not to be disturbed.
I see. Thank you.
Sable. What do you think you're doing with that?
Recognize this, Jason? Your favorite gun?
"Blow a hole in a man the size of your fist."
How many times have I heard you say that?
Put it down before you hurt somebody.
Yes. That's the idea... Hurt you like you've hurt me.
- Sable... - You've killed me!
You've killed everything we had between us.
"Hurt somebody"? You sanctimonious hypocrite!
Sable.
Sable, for God's sake...
Damn you, Jason. I hate you!
Sable, open this door!
Stay out of here! Stay out of my life!
Sable!
Haven't you done enough damage?
I'll kick in every door in this house until you listen to me!
I've heard it all, you liar! Every dirty detail!
I never cheated on you, damn it!
What kind of a fool do you take me for?! I was in that courtroom.
I heard it from my very sister's mouth...
27 years of lies. Lying and cheating,
that's been our whole marriage.
- That is not true! - Not true?!
Frankie confessed under oath.
The two of you, behind my back all these years.
What kind of a man do you think I am?
You're not a man! You're a monster, a fraud. I don't even know you!
Sable, what happened with Frankie was once,
a long time ago, before you and I were married.
Before we even met each other!
- Frankie was alone... - Poor little Frankie.
Listen to me! Phillip had damn near abandoned her.
She was alone. She was unhappy.
- I was stupid and young. - That's an excuse?
We made a mistake!
We've been making up for it ever since.
It had nothing to do with you. You've got to believe that.
Believe you?
I trusted you.
I believed in you... In us.
I'll never do that again.
You used to love her, didn't you?
Sable...
Oh, God.
I will never forgive you for this.
Never.
Get out.
Please.
Go!
Roger: Darling, Jeffrey acted the only way he could.
Now once he's had time to think about it...
Think about what?
In one afternoon, I've changed his whole life.
He already thinks that I walked out on him years ago
and now I've taken his father from him, too.
You've given him his father...
A man who's alive and strong like Jeff.
Maybe he's lost his fantasy, but given time, he'll thank you.
What about you?
How can you ever forgive me?
Frankie, I love you,
and that's got nothing to do with the past.
All I care about is our future, together.
Excuse me. Lady Langdon,
there's a call for you... Mr. Jason Colby.
Thank you.
Yes, Jason?
I have to see you, Frankie.
That's impossible.
He's my son. You've got to talk to me.
- I know, but... - Now, Frankie.
Will you come to my office?
It's away from the press and no one knows I'm here.
Jason: Take the private elevator. I'll wait for you.
All right. I'll come.
I told you, the past means nothing to me.
The present does.
I want you to promise me
you'll never see Jason Colby again.
Jason is the father of my son.
Whether I want to or not, I have to see him.
I'm sorry.
Jason: You're so damn beautiful.
Jason.
Why didn't you ever tell me?
I always thought Jeff was Phillip's son.
Look at me.
Tell me now.
There were times, thinking of you,
that I felt he might be your son.
Maybe even wished he were.
But I swear, I thought Phillip was his father.
I couldn't let them take away his name.
I don't blame you, Frankie.
I think I knew.
I must have known, deep down.
And then when I saw you again for the first time
after all those years,
I knew there was something.
When I looked at him, there were times...
when he felt like he was part of me...
Part of us.
I'm glad he's my son.
Our son.
No matter what, I loved you then, I love you now.
- Please don't say that. - Why not?
It's true. I'm not ashamed.
I can't see you anymore. Not alone, anyway.
Frankie, things are different now.
No.
I know Jeff is our son,
but I'm still with Roger.
Nothing's changed.
Do you believe that?
Jeff...?
What are you doing?
I'm getting out of here. I'm going back to Denver.
Running away?
Conny, I don't know. I don't know anything anymore.
I know what you're going through, Jeff,
but we need you here now!
Conny, ever since I set foot in this house,
you're the only one who wanted me to stay!
Jason, Sable, Miles... They all wanted me out.
Well, they've finally got it, 'cause I'm gone.
Like it or not, you are Jason Colby's son
and running away is not going to change that.
You think he wants me here?
Look, he may be my father. I can live with that somehow.
But I'll be damned if I have to live with him!
I gave you my shares of Colby Enterprises
because I knew you were strong.
I knew you could take whatever Jason threw at you.
But if you walk out on me...
Conny, what do you want from me?
I've given everything I've got,
taken all I can!
Ah, so, you are hurting, you are in pain.
You're the only one who has lost.
- What about Miles? - Miles?
Your brother! You're the strong one.
He needs all the help he can get now.
He's lost my share of the company to you.
He's lost his wife to you.
And now he's lost his position
as Jason's son and heir to you.
My God, what do you think this is doing to him?!
Come on, help me get him out of here!
You are the luckiest man alive!
Yeah... yeah, real lucky.
Blond worker: Can't say the same for your car. It's a wreck.
Mind if I join you?
It's your bar.
- Look, son... - Don't you call me that.
Don't you ever call me "son."
Jason: What am I supposed to call you?
How about "bastard"? That's what I am, right?
All right. We can't change the facts.
Whatever you feel about it, I'm your father,
like it or not.
I've lived most of my life without a mother or a father.
I don't need one now.
And not you, that's for sure.
As far as I'm concerned,
you're not my father, you're my partner.
That's all we've got in common, Jason, is business.
- Strictly business. - That's not true.
It's more than that. You know it.
I'll never accept you as my father.
I can't.
Conny: Have you heard from Miles?
Jason: Haven't even seen him.
I'm sorry. It... it's all my fault.
You're sorry?
Well, if you had told me about Francesca,
I never would have invited her here.
The past can't stay buried forever, Connie.
We carry it with us. All of it.
Well, what now?
Damned if I know.
Got to come to terms with my kids somehow,
make sure they know I love them
- and hope they love me. - Oh, they do.
They just need a little time.
How much time? Do I go to them now,
or wait, and how long?
We all make wrong choices in our lives. Too often.
I don't want to do that now.
They need you and you need them.
Now, I don't know where Monica is,
but Bliss is upstairs.
I'll talk to her.
What about Sable?
This can't be very easy for her.
Didn't you hear about the elephant gun?
We talked. You could say it didn't go well.
Hmm.
She brought this on all of us,
but somehow...
I don't know, I feel sorry for her.
Maybe I should go and talk to her.
- Conny: May I come in? - Why not?
- I just stopped by... - To what? Interfere some more?
Well, I didn't come here to argue.
There's nothing argue about. Facts are facts.
Do you know what this is? This is my wedding album.
Mine. And you are in every photo, at Jason's side.
You put down roots there and you never left.
Well, when you married Jason, you married into a family.
- Which you always resented. - No, no, no, that's not true.
Isn't it? Well, take a look for yourself.
I think there hasn't been a day, a moment,
when you haven't been waiting to destroy
what I spent years building.
Well, congratulations.
You finally got what you wanted.
I didn't have to do anything.
You did it.
Oh, you are a hungry woman, Sable.
By reaching for it all,
you wound up with nothing.
Now, I'm sorry for you. I'm very sorry for you.
But I'll be damned if I'll stand here
and let you put the blame on me, Jason and Jeff
when you did it all by yourself!
Henderson, ask Eric to bring my car around, would you?
I'm going out.
Conny's right. You belong here, not Denver.
There's nothing here for me, Fallon!
There's your family. All the time we were growing up,
we talked about a family, a real family!
I have one. You and L.B. are all the family I need.
I know you, Jeff.
You were out to shake the world since you were a boy.
Let everybody know you could stand on your own. You had to!
- Well, you did it. - Without Jason and Francesca.
Yes, but now you can be a part of something, not be alone.
Whatever their faults, they are your family.
No!
Except for Conny, all of them want to see me gone.
Jeff, look at what's happened to us all...
In just a few months,
our lives have been really turned around.
All of us...
You, Jason, Miles... Especially Miles.
I'm really afraid for him.
Afraid for him or afraid of him?
Maybe both.
You didn't see him when he left the courthouse today.
I don't want you to be alone here tonight.
Let me stay with you.
I don't think you should.
What if Miles comes back, finds us together?
We'll go out to the beach house.
We can be alone there, away from Miles,
away from everyone.
And make love?
God, I want to. You know I do.
But we agreed.
Not until we're married.
Well, I'm still going out to the beach house.
I don't want to sleep under the same roof with Jason.
Are you gonna be all right here?
What could happen? The house is full of people.
Well... just make sure you lock the door.
I will.
Good night.
Sabella.
Art.
Love in the abstract.
Safe...
but dull.
I've always preferred a touch of... reality.
How did you know I was here?
I heard what happened.
I knew there was only one place you would go.
My refuge.
My perfect world.
You...
are the perfection in this room...
Sabella.
Hold me, Zach.
Hold me, please.
I'll never let you go.
Fallon: Jeff.
Well, good morning!
Except for that lone surfer out there,
I thought I was the only one up this early.
What's the matter?
Miles came into my room last night.
He must have gotten in through the window.
- My God, are you all right? - I'm fine.
He didn't even wake me, but this morning, I found this.
"I'll never let you go."
It was next to me on my pillow.
He could have done anything! You know how he can be.
Oh, come here, come here.
Everything's gonna be all right.
You're here with me now. Okay?
The only problem is you're stuck with me for the rest of the day.
Now we can drive up the coast,
or we can drive down the coast.
Anything you want, you just name it.
How about a nice walk along the beach, just the two of us?
And hold hands?
Sure! So you don't get lost.
Bliss: Mother, I don't know how you do it.
Sable: What's that, darling?
After what you've been through, you look terrific.
Oh! Thank you, darling!
To be quite honest, I...
don't know how I'm breathing this morning.
Have you seen Miles?
No. Not since yesterday afternoon.
I'm worried about him. I'm worried about everything.
Mother, you don't deserve what's happened.
I'm sorry what I said about Sean, how I treated him.
- You know I'm seeing him again. - Yes. I'm glad.
But you threw him out of the house!
I'm inviting him back in again. I was quite impressed by him.
Mother, I know you've been through a shock, but...
He must love you very much to come here,
face me, just to see you.
You're lucky, Bliss.
Love like that's hard to find.
You hold on to him.
But he's still Zach Powers' nephew,
and Daddy doesn't trust either of them.
Yes. When it comes to trust,
your father's hardly in a position to judge, you see.
I don't think Zach Powers is quite the villain
your father makes him out to be.
You approve of Sean and Zach Powers?
- Mother, what's changed? - I have.
I've lived my life looking through your father's eyes.
I think it's time I started trusting my own, don't you?
I hope you've got yourself a good lawyer, Jason.
I've got the best. You know it well.
Then give him a raise. He's going to earn it.
Mr. Powers, I'm sure you didn't come here to discuss my hourly wage.
Why don't you get to the point?
Slander, counselor. Slander.
You're investigating the San Miguel oil spill.
Damn right. It's my tanker, my loss.
You are also suggesting that somehow
I might have something to do with it.
That I'm behind the murders... The murders...
of Captain Livadas and Engineer... Mahoney?
Garrett: Just nasty rumors.
I can't control rumors. They surround you, Zach.
Your reputation comes into a room
10 minutes before you do.
As for our investigation, I don't care what it takes
or who gets hurt. I'll get the answers.
Whether your reputation survives remains to be seen.
Your time's up, Mr. Powers.
For the moment, perhaps.
I'd like to say he's running scared, Jason,
but I don't think so.
No.
I think he's fighting and we don't even know it.
- What do you mean? - Well, stories keep surfacing
in the papers linking Miles to Mahoney's death.
It's mighty convenient for Powers.
If he can make Miles the prime suspect,
it gets him off the hot seat?
We gotta move!
Find out everything the police know
and also who is pushing this.
I'll light a fire under Jessup.

Gets better every time I hear it.
It's not quite finished yet,
but I promise it will be for the promotional tour.
That's what I want to talk to you about, Wayne.
I already bought the extra toothbrush
and I swear I'll keep Duke down to one suitcase.
Wayne, there... there isn't going to be a tour.
- What? - I'm canceling it.
Why? I'm all set.
I got the program, the arrangements...
The tour was Neil's idea, and a bad one.
Almost as bad as stealing you from Titania.
Look, I want you here in Los Angeles.
I've arranged some television spots and public appearances.
Did you pick up the leash, too?
- Wayne. - I'm a singer, Monica.
A performer.
I need to be in front of new people.
How can I sell records if you keep me screwed to the floor in L.A.?
Look, maybe we're moving too fast on this.
You know, a tour can be rough on anyone.
Especially an invalid.
I didn't say that.
Look, I don't need to be led out on stage,
sat down, told to perform and then led off again.
I can do anything any man can do...
Some things better.
I'm ready for this tour. And I want it.
I'm sorry, Wayne.
I run this show and that's how it's going to be.
Then you'll have to excuse me.
I was gonna finish this song today.
Maybe you just finished it for me.
Miles, my God, where have you been?
We've been worried about you.
We? Does that include Dad?
Bliss: You haven't slept, have you?
- Why didn't you call us? - Where's Fallon?
Take it easy, Miles! I want to help.
Then tell me where Fallon is.
Please, Bliss, tell me.
I think she said this morning
she was going down to the beach house.
- Why? - I don't know.
Come on, Bliss.
Jeff stayed the night there. She wanted to see him.
I'll bet she did!
Miles, don't do this! Not when you're so upset!
I have to go!
Fallon: It's so peaceful here.
We haven't had much of that lately.
Jeff: I know.
I've almost forgotten what it's like.
Fallon: When I'm with you like this, I can almost believe
everything is going to be all right.
Jeff: I think it's going to take more than a nice day
to make me feel that.
Come on. We've got each other,
our son.
Yes, but there's a problem.
Are we gonna take him with us on our honeymoon?
Hmm... No. Postcards.
Of course, it would help if he could read.
- Oh, no, no, you don't. - What?
I'm not going to wait that long.
Jeff, everything's gonna be fine. I know it.
Make me believe it.
I love you.
What the hell are you doing here, Miles?
What kind of greeting is that?
After I drove all this way just to see you, brother.
Please, Miles.
Miles: This has nothing to do with you, Fallon.
Not this time.
You've got something to say to me, Miles,
why don't we go somewhere else, just the two of us?
Someplace else? This is perfect...
The family retreat. After all, we are family now.
Same father, different mother, of course.
Yours is the whore.
Damn you!
Don't, Jeff. It's what he wants!
- He's gonna get it. - Try it.
You'll end up flat on your back. Like mother, like son!
Stop it! Uh-hh!
The bigger they are, brother!
Stop it!
