Patrick, Jr. and Gerald Wilson III come to Patrick and Leslie’s office with information concerning the spy in the Turkish Defense Ministry.
Patrick and Ed McCormick, after getting confirmation from INTERPOL are able to provide information on the spy’s background.
Patrick receives word that the missing military weapons have been recovered and that Nigel Havensworth was responsible for them being stolen, but his whereabouts are still unknown.
Athena and Consuela Alvarez comes to Krystle’s downtown office for a discussion with Krystle and Leslie where they reveal to Krystle the truth about what happened to Eduardo Alvarez.
Krystle and Leslie also reveal to Athena and Consuela the truth about Adam’s paternity and Alexis’ marriage to Blake.
The Ewings (John Ross, Krystina, Chip and Danny McCarty) come to Colorado in advance of the FREMM Conference and get a pre-conference briefing from Patrick and Leslie.
Chip has to confront a person from his past and he is momentarily undecided as to what to do.
Moses Kimball comes into Darryl’s office to announce Troxell Enterprises’ decision on whether or not they are going to bid on the Power/Koralis shares.
Scene: MONDAY morning July 17, 2023 – Darrell Kimball’s office – Troxell Enterprises – Troxell Center – 633 17th Street – Denver, Colorado…..
Moses Kimball:…..that Troxell Enterprises is going to bid on those shares of Koralis Shipping and Powers Shipping.
Darrell Kimball: I think it’s a good decision, Dad and I think that everybody at Denver-Carrington, the Deveraux Group and Ewing Industries would agree with me.
Lilliam Moore Kimball: Moses? Are you sure about this?
Moses: I am sure about this. I’ve thought about it long and hard. However…..I would like to discuss the matter with Denver-Carrington, Ewing Industries and the Deveraux Group.
Darrell: I think that’s a great idea, Dad.
Lillian: I can make the call to Leslie, Krystina and Sandra and we can get a meeting scheduled for tomorrow morning.
Darrell: We’ll need to get a meeting as soon as possible. After all the conference is coming up Thursday night.
Moses: Excellent!
Lillian: Thank you, Moses. I’ll get in on it as soon as possible. There is one extra added bonus to all of this.
Moses: And what’s that?
Lillian: Well…..in addition to Alexis and Sable bidding on those shares, I’m hearing that Catherine Torrance might also be submitting a bid. It would be such a pleasure to watch all three of them squirm, especially Alexis and Sable since they both have shared baggage with Zach Powers.
Darrell (smiling as he nods his head): Yeah! I like the way you think, Baby.
(MEANWHILE: Ewing Industries offices – Denver-Carrington Center – 1954 Blake Carrington Plaza – Denver, Colorado)
Patrick: OK. Chip. I want to thank you again for doing this. I think getting Sweden to join NATO will end up being a smart decision. However…..there is just one more thing.
Chip: What’s that, Brother-in-Law?
Patrick: Once we get Brandon Lindqvist on board with Sweden joining NATO, we’ll need to tackle another issue.
Chip: What’s that?
Patrick: Do you remember when Tyson Fielding downed that plane in the forest in Northern Sweden?
Chip: Yeah.
Patrick: Ok. Do you remember after that when we talked we talked about the Swedish Energy Deal and we talked about bringing the Deveraux Group in?
Chip: Yes I do.
Patrick: Well…..Denver-Carrington does not like to cut their friends out of deals. Would you mind if I talked to Brandon Lindqvist about this?
Chip: With all due respect, Brother-in-Law, but I’ve known Brandon Lindqvist a lot longer than you have.
Patrick: This is true.
Leslie: How about this, you guys? Why don’t you both approach him together since our companies are two of the principals involved in the deal?
Krystina: Yeah. I think that’s a reasonable request. Come on. What do you guys say?
John Ross: I’d be open to that. The Deveraux Group has never done us wrong and they are definitely anti-Alexis.
Chip: I’m open to that.
Patrick: Fair enough.
Leslie: Why don’t we put it to a vote?
Patrick: I’m all for that. Everybody please sit down…..(sees that everybody is seated)…..OK. I’d like to call the question. I move that for the purposes of bringing the Deveraux Group into our Swedish Energy Deal, that Charles Bryant (“Chip”) Ewing and myself jointly approach one Brandon Lindqvist, Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister of Sweden for consideration of this idea.
Danny McCarty: I’d like to second the motion.
Patrick: Very well. The motion has been moved and seconded. All those in favor raise your right hand…..(all six hands go up)…..OK. All those opposed…..(no hands go up)…..OK. Seeing none, the motion carries.
Danny McCarty: That was very well handled, Admiral.
Patrick: Thank you, Colonel. I appreciate that.
Chip (shakes Patrick’s hand): Thank you for understanding, Brother-in-Law.
Patrick: Not a problem. That’s the cut of my jib.
John Ross: Ya done good, Brother-in-Law.
Krystina: Seriously! Nice job, Big Brother.
Patrick: All right, guys. One more thing. We need to make sure that he is firmly on our side on this issue.
Leslie: Patrick’s right. We can’t have him sneaking off into Alexis’ camp.
Chip (smiles as he gives Patrick a pat on the back): I don’t think we have a thing to worry about.
(TUSEDAY night – July 18, 2023 – The kitchen of the Carrington mansion – 173 Wessex Drive – Golden, Colorado)
Leslie: Damn! I wish that last meeting hadn’t run so late. I’m famished! I hope the family didn’t miss us too terribly at dinner tonight.
Patrick: Nah! I called Mom. She understood. Besides. Now that Inga and the rest of the kitchen staff are done for the night, we have a chance to commandeer the kitchen!
Leslie: Let me guess. You cook and I clear.
Patrick: Very good. You know the drill. Opposite of Mom and Blake. Now. What say you to one of my world famous Grilled Ham and Cheese sandwiches?
Leslie: World famous??
Patrick: OK…OK! Colorado famous. Sue me!……(starts prepping)
Sammy Jo (comes into the kitchen): Hey, Little Brother! Hey, Sister-in-Law!
Patrick (turns and sees his sister): Hey, Big Sis!
Leslie: Sammy Jo! Don’t tell me you missed dinner too.
Sammy Jo: Yeah. We had a late production meeting at Reece House of Fashion. Alexis’ cover article in Elle really caused a stir and we’ve got that meeting with Shannon Everett coming up.
Patrick: Hmmmmm…..let me see if I have this straight. They run a cover feature on you one month and then the next month they go and run a cover story on the Wicked Witch of the Rockies.
Sammy Jo: That pretty much sums it up. Yeah.
Leslie: Wow! You think the people at Elle are fickle?
Patrick: Pfffft!….the epitome of haute couture my ass!
Sammy Jo: Hey! What are you guys making?
Leslie: Well…..actually…..your little brother is doing the cooking. He’s making his…..
Patrick (clearing his throat): AHEM!!!
Leslie: WORLD famous…..
Patrick (smiles and nods his head): That’s better!
Leslie: Grilled Ham and Cheese sandwiches.
Patrick: Care to join us, Big Sis?
Sammy Jo: I’d love to!
Leslie: Sammy Jo. I’m telling you. Your brother’s Grilled Ham and Cheese are out of this world!
Sammy Jo: Oh! I don’t know. I’m pretty good myself!
Patrick (does a John Travolta laugh): How many do you want?
Sammy Jo: Two.
Patrick: Babe?
Leslie: Same.
Patrick: And two for me makes six. OK! Stand back and watch the expert!…..(the sandwiches are ready a few minutes later)…..Damn it! I forgot to make fries! Potato chips OK?
Sammy Jo: Sure.
Leslie: Yeah.
Patrick (looks through the cabinet): Ooooo! Ruffles Sour Cream and Onion! Perfect! Rrrrrrrufles have Rrrrrrrridges!
Sammy Jo (sitting down at the island with her brother and sister-in-law after receiving her food and then starts laughing)…..Mmmmmm….THIS is delicious, Little Brother! What is your secret?
Patrick: Like I’ve been telling you for years. Mustard between the bread and the cheese and then the ham slices wedged in the middle. What were you laughing about earlier?
Leslie: Yeah. What was so funny?
Sammy Jo (still laughing a little): I was just thinking…..Joseph would have been ready to skin us alive by now
Leslie: Yeah. I don’t think Uncle Blake would have cared…..I mean about what we’re doing now.
Patrick: You know…..I thought the world of Gerard, but, from what I’ve gathered, Joseph was a stodgy uptight asshole and you probably couldn’t get a greased bee bee up his ass!
Sammy Jo: Yeah. Little Brother. You don’t know the half of it! Take the night I first got here for example!
Patrick: Can’t wait to hear this!
Leslie: Yeah. Me neither.
Sammy Jo: I never told you guys this story?
Patrick: Maybe. Even if you did, it’ll probably still crack me up!
Leslie: We thought you were going to tell us the Alexis catching you sliding down the banister story. In all fairness to him, he did love Uncle Blake.
Sammy Jo: And he was DEFINITELY ANTI-Alexis!
Patrick: OK…OK! So…..maybe the guy did have SOME redeeming features.
Leslie: Hun. We’ve got that groundbreaking at Cheney Hospital tomorrow with Eddie and Paige.
Patrick: I know, but we’ve got this conference to get ready for.
Leslie: I understand.
Patrick: Don’t worry about it. Fallon can handle it.
Fallon: Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen and Welcome to Cheney Hospital. Governor and Mrs. Running Brave. Thank you for being here.
Governor Dan Running Brave (R – Colorado): You’re welcome.
Carol Matron of the Snows, First Lady of Colorado: We’re honored to be here, Fallon.
Fallon: Krystle. I’d also like to thank you for being here. In recognition of all your tireless efforts over the years on behalf of this hospital, I would like to announce the expansion of the children’s wing and it will be renamed the Krystle Carrington Dexter Children’s Wing.
Krystle: Thank you, Fallon. I am very honored. Over the years, Blake and I and, later, Dex and I worked hard to make sure that the citizens of Denver and the citizens of Colorado have had access to good, decent health care.
Fallon: Thank you, Krystle. At this time, I would like to introduce our very special guests who will be assisting with today’s groundbreaking. Their Majesties Edvard III and Paige, King and Queen of the Danish Realm.
King Edvard III: Thank you, Fallon. In addition to being here for the FREMM Conference, we are also honored to be here to help launch a project that is very near and dear to the heart of my wife Queen Paige who just happens to be a Pediatric Surgeon. If I may, I would like to turn things over to her. Queen Paige.
Queen Paige: Thank you, King Edvard. I have been very proud to be the Queen of the Danish Realm as well as a practicing physician. As my husband said, I am a Pediatric Surgeon. In my work with Doctors Without Borders, I have done everything I could to help ease the pain and suffering of children in war torn Ukraine. We have done a lot for the world’s children and we can do more. Earlier, I spoke with Cheney Hospital’s Chief of Staff Dr. Mitch Cooper, MD and I am pleased to announce that once the expansion is completed, the new Krystle Carrington Dexter Children’s Wing of Cheney Hospital here in Denver will become a satellite facility for Doctors Without Borders. A facility to which children can be brought if they require immediate hospitalization.
Fallon: Now…..if everybody will join me over here, we will officially break ground on the Krystle Carrington Dexter Children’s Wing at Cheney Hospital.
(WEDNESDAY evening – the Library of the Carrington mansion – 173 Wessex Drive – Golden, Colorado)
Milton (comes into the library): Hey, Shipmate! George said I could find you in here.
Patrick: Hey, Milt! Come on in!
Milton: I was kind of hoping to catch you before the conference. I was wanting to conduct another Surface to Air Missile test at Peterson Space Force Base.
Christopher Ewing: Using drones, of course.
Milton: Of course.
Patrick: Oh! I’m sorry. Milt. You remember Christopher Ewing, right?
Milton: Yeah!…..(shakes Christopher’s hand)……How you doing, Man?
Christopher: Doing well. Thanks, Milt.
Patrick: That should really be something for the big wigs to see, but…..(he says with a laugh)…..I wonder how Colin Forrest is going to feel if we keep having to blow up his drones. Chris and I were just getting ready to discuss the further testing of his and Catlin’s new synthetic jet fuel.
Milton: You guys mind if I join you?
Patrick: No. Not at all. Sit. So how are the tests going Chris?
Christopher: Well…..I can say with 100% certainty, our next tests are going to be conducted in flight with actual combat aircraft.
Milt: You’re serious.
Patrick: That’s OUT…..standing!
Christopher: We conducted the final acceleration tests down at Lackland a couple of weeks ago and everything went according to plan. I think we’re ready, Pat. I think we can do this.
Patrick: In front of a live audience?
Christopher: Yes. Not only that, but I want to use real aircraft with real pilots and I want do it Saturday morning at Peterson Space Force Base.
Patrick: I think we can make that happen. Milt. Remember. As of tomorrow, we will be mustered into active service. We’ll be representing the Navy at this thing. The wives will be representing our companies.
Milt: Thanks for reminding me, Shipmate.
(in another corner of the library)
Sandra: Girl. I want to thank you for what you and Patrick sticking up for us to…..what’s this guy’s name again?
Leslie: His name is Brandon Lindqvist and he is the Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister of Sweden. Pat has said he really wants you guys in on this deal with us and, apparently, Brandon has been open to the idea before.
Sandra: So. Who do we have coming to this thing?
Leslie: Well…..of course we have Eddie and Paige coming.
Sandra: They were at the groundbreaking for the new children’s wing at Cheney Hospital today, weren’t they?
Leslie: Yes they were. Ced Parkhurst will be here. Salvatore Padovano will also be here representing President Mattarella of Italy. Then, we have the new Greek Defense Minister coming and Joumala is coming to represent Morocco. Remember we have the grand reception Friday night here at the mansion.
Sandra (nodding her head): Uh-huh! There’s just one thing, though. With a grand reception and a lot of fancy food and V.I.P. company, you know who’s going to be wanting to horn her way in!
Leslie (shudders): I was just think the same thing…..(she and Sandra then say in unison)…..ALEXIS!!
(THURSDAY afternoon – July 20, 2023 – La Mirage – 2252 Mountmarte – Arvada, Colorado)
Alexis (walking into the hotel bar): Well…well…well…..Mr. Brandon Lindqvist?
Brandon (eating lunch): Yes?
Alexis: Forgive the social faux pas. I don’t know if you know who I am.
Brandon: I know exactly who you are, Mrs. Colby.
Alexis: Well…..since you know who I am, then I’m sure you’re aware that investments from my company could be of great help to your country.
Brandon: Excuse me???
Alexis: Mr. Lindqvist. I know you are a man in a position of authority in your country’s government. I might also point out that your monarch Carl XVI Gustaf is a very old and dear friend of mine. Perhaps you could talk to him and maybe three of us could come up with some sort of satisfactory business that would be mutually beneficial to everyone concerned.
Brandon: I’m very sorry, Mrs. Colby, but our country is a Constitutional Monarchy. The King is merely the Head of State. He has little to no authority when it comes to matters concerning the government. I’m sorry, Mrs. Colby, but you’ve wasted my time and I’m quite sure I’ve wasted yours.
Alexis: Oh I don’t know about that. You may be the one who ends up being very sorry…..Bradley Wilson!

Consuela Alvarez-Rivera comes to the Denver Chronicle offices and shares new and disturbing information with Lauren and Terry about the relationship between her father Eduardo and her uncle Zach Powers.
Before settling into their daily routine, Patrick tells Leslie about a special surprise he has for her.
After being greeted by Miranda in Spanish, Consuela Alvarez-Rivera comes to Patrick and Leslie’s office and shares the same information she shared with Lauren and Terry.
Alexis and Francine Brummel discuss their mutual disgust over the recent deal struck between Sammy Jo and Shannon Everett and a plans to revive Francine’s failing fashion house.
Terry, doing a freelance gig for The Navy Times, interviews Patrick about the status of the modern U.S. Navy in anticipation of the upcoming FREMM Conference.
Patrick, Jr. and Gerald Wilson finally get a positive identification of the spy who has been leaking information out of the Turkish Defense Ministry.
Scene: MONDAY morning – July 10, 2023 – Patrick and Leslie’s office – Denver-Carrington Center – 1954 Blake Carrington Plaza – Denver, Colorado…..
Patrick: Well…..Kid…..Ger…..glad you guys could join us.
Patrick, Jr.: Dad…..I just talked to Ed a little bit ago and he said he was here in your office.
Patrick: I understand congratulations are an order for you two guys. So you were able to get a positive ID on the spy that’s been leaking information out of the Turkish Defense Ministry concerning the FREMM Program.
Gerald Wilson III: That’s right, Boss. He name is Naim Demirci and he’s a Colonel in the Turkish Army.
Patrick, Jr.: He’s also a member of the Defense Minister’s Adjunct Military Staff. We got with Scott Forrester from the FBI International Fly Team.
Leslie: Which means he was privy to a lot of sensitive information.
Gerald Wilson III: That he was willing to sell to the highest bidder.
Patrick, Jr.: Unfortunately, this time, the highest bidder happened to be Syria and Farouk Ahmed.
Patrick: And Alexis. If this gets back to the Greek government, which, hopefully, it will. This, coupled with Alexis’ shenanigans involving Zach and Eduardo Alvarez could serve to…..
Leslie: Could serve to nuke any chances Alexis might have to win the bidding for those shares of Koralis Shipping and Powers Shipping.
Patrick: Most definitely.
Ed McCormick: Junior. You and the Legal Beagle here did a nice job gathering that information.
Patrick, Jr.: Thanks, Ed.
Gerald Wilson III: Thanks, Ed.
Ed: I was able to get with Calvin Baynard at INTERPOL and he came up with some more interesting information. First of all, we have confirmation. He has been positively identified as Naim Demirci and he is a Colonel in the Turkish Army. He was born in Aleppo, Syria in 1985. His parents were ethnic Turks and they were research scientists at the University of Aleppo and were working on developing Syria’s nuclear program. He was sent to live with his paternal grandparents in Antalya, Turkey in 2000.
Patrick: He graduated from Kara Harp Okulu, the Turkish Military Academy in 2007 and was commissioned as an officer in the Turkish Army with the rank of Asteğmen, the Turkish equivalent of Second Lieutenant.
Ed McCormick: He did two tours of duty with the Turkish Land Forces in the Kurdistan region and advanced to the rank of Binbasi, which is roughly the equivalent of Major. According to his superiors, his performance evals were generally pretty good.
Patrick: Unfortunately, his appetite for power was just as good. In around 2010-2011, he found out that his parents were speaking out against the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria and they were thrown in jail without trial.
Ed: In 2017, he was contacted by Hakim Ahmed. Rashid’s nephew and Farouk’s son. He was told that if he didn’t deliver certain military secrets to the Syrian government his parents would be executed.
Leslie: Hakim Ahmed. Wasn’t he the one Adam was working with when he tried to swindle us out of some of our Mediterranean oil leases about five years ago?
Patrick: That’s the one. In 2016, just before he was contacted by Hakim Ahmed, he was assigned to Adjunct Military Staff of the Turkish Defense Minister, which means he had unlimited access to top secret Turkish and NATO military files.
Ed: Well…..Shortly after that, he went rogue and became a mole inside the Turkish Defense Ministry. In 2018, his parents were executed anyway.
Patrick: Which brings brings us to where we are now, but thanks to you two, we got a name on this guy and Ed and Calvin Baynard were able to get confirmation on his identity.
Gerald Wilson III: But, Boss. How could this guy have been pulling the wool over people’s eyes for years without anybody finding out?
Patrick: The same thing goes on here. Robert Hanssen, John Anthony Walker, Aldrich Ames and, if you want to go back a lot further…..Alger Hiss. You put these type of guys in a position of trust and then you find out that sometimes their services can be bought for the right price.
Leslie: The same thing went on in our company. Someone betrayed my uncle Blake’s trust for Thirty pieces of Silver…..Adam!
Patrick, Jr.: I figured you were going to bring him up at some point, Mom. The same guy who tried to murder my wife and my children.
Ed McCormick: There’s also the matter of the missing military weapons.
Gerald Wilson III: What about them?
Patrick: There’s good news and bad news. The good news is that the weapons have been recovered. They never made it to Equatorial Guinea or Gabon and we know for a fact that Nigel Havensworth arranged to have to have them stolen. We were able to ascertain that from an electronic surveillance done on the Presidential Palace in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. The bad news is that the guys INTERPOL caught refused to give Nigel up, so, we STILL don’t know where the son of bitch is!
Patrick, Jr.: But, Dad! He can’t have just disappeared!
Patrick: We’re sure he hasn’t disappeared, but he still manages to give us the slip. Boy! Alexis sure can pick ’em! There’s more, guys!…..(nods his head)…..Ed!
Ed: OK. Now……we’ve reviewed the security footage from Ramstein Air Force from the day the weapons were heisted. It was definitely an inside job and those involved on the inside have been arrested, will be court-martialed and will probably be Dishonorably Discharged. We know for a fact that the pilots that did the flying and downed the plane were not Air Force personnel.
Patrick: Any word yet on their whereabouts, Ed?
Ed: None. But…..we do know that the real pilots were found tied up and locked in a broom closet!
Leslie: Tied up and locked in a broom closet???
Patrick: These guys are amateurs! Were they auditioning for an episode of America’s Dumbest Criminals or what??? One more thing about the weapons. We’ll be getting with Salvatore Padovano and the Klitschko Brothers and making sure everything goes according to plan THIS time. They’re going to be here for the FREMM Conference in a couple of weeks. We’re also going to make sure Alexis isn’t able to run any phony stories in that bird cage liner she calls a newspaper.
Krystle (in her office with Leslie): Athena. Consuela. Please. Come in. I know there are some things you want to talk about and there is something else I need to talk to you about as well.
Leslie: This is why I suggested to Krystle that we meet here. I hope neither mind if I join the discussion.
Athena: No. Not at all.
Krystle: So what is it you want to talk to me about?
Athena: Krystle. I don’t know if you are aware of this, but my Eduardo had a great of admiration and respect for Blake.
Krystle: I’ve heard Blake talk about Eduardo only a few times, but he always spoke very highly of him.
Leslie: I remember that Alvarezco built a few of the tankers that Denver-Carrington used to move its oil from overseas.
Consuela: That’s correct, Leslie. My father always thought your uncle Blake to be a good and decent man.
Athena: Krystle. I know Blake and my brother Zach had a very…..contentious…..relationship, especially when it came to business.
Krystle: Yes they did. I’ve never heard Blake talk about your brother with anything but the utmost contempt.
Athena: My brother tried to swindle Blake out of a piece of land that was very near and dear to him. If I remember correctly, it was called “The Crater”.
Krystle: That’s right. It was left to him by his mother Ellen and we later found out that it was rich in natural gas.
Leslie: Zach fronted $50 million to a man named Michael Culhane so he could invest in the deal. But Zach’s real goal was to find a way for Alexis to be able to invest in the deal so she could be a further annoyance to Blake.
Krystle: Then Blake figured out what Michael and Zach were trying to do and he shut the project down.
Consuela: Did he ever re-open the project?
Leslie: He did once Alexis was forced to sign uncle Blake’s assets back over to him. That was right around the same time Blake took back his partnership in the pipeline project with Jason Colby. At the time, I was working for Dexter International as an engineer on that project.
Athena: Krystle. You mentioned Alexis being a potential investor in the Crater. I have some news for you concerning Alexis.
Krystle: What is it?
Athena: Consuela and I were going through some of my brother’s personal papers and we found some disturbing information concerning Zach and my Eduardo…..(starts to cry)
Krystle: Athena? What’s wrong?
Athena (still crying): I….I….(looking at her daughter)…..Mija……can you explain to Krystle what happened?
Consuela: Of course, Mama. When Mama and I were going through my uncle’s papers, we found that not only was my uncle trying to initiate a hostile takeover of my father’s company, but he was trying to find a way to get rid of my father. When my father got wind of what my uncle was trying to do, Uncle Zach murdered my father.
Krystle: Oh my God! What does this have to do with Alexis?
Athena (composes herself): Alexis was supposed to be a part of my brother’s plans to take over Alvarezco, but she was also privy to Zach’s plan to do away with Eduardo.
Krystle: Did Alexis know that Zach murdered Eduardo?
Consuela: Whether or not Alexis knew that Zach murdered my father, we’re not sure, but we know that this information could affect Alexis’ chances to win the bidding for the Koralis and Powers shares.
Leslie: I would love to find out just how much Alexis knew about Eduardo’s murder.
Krystle: So would I. Athena. Do you remember hearing about Alexis’ marriage to Cecil Colby?
Athena: I do. It was at Cheney Hospital here in Denver as Cecil was lying in his deathbed and five minutes later Cecil was dead. I found it rather strange that Alexis was able to inherit a multi-billion dollar fortune so soon after her husband died.
Krystle: Exactly. I looked into it a few years after Cecil’s death. I thought there was something suspicious about the circumstances under which Alexis inherited Cecil’s fortune, but I could never fully prove anything.
Athena: Alexis seems to cover her tracks very well.
Leslie: Not exactly.
Consuela: What do you mean?
Krystle: Do you remember how Adam all of a sudden came to town in 1982?
Athena: I don’t understand, but I do remember hearing that Adam was found to be Cecil Colby’s son a few years ago.
Krystle: That’s right. When he first came to Denver, the circumstances surrounding Adam’s identity were suspicious enough. Everybody had their doubts. I was doing a little digging into Alexis’ past and I found something very interesting indeed.
Athena: Really?
Krystle: About four years I ran across a couple of copies of an application for Adam’s Birth Certificate filed by Alexis. One one of them, she lists the father as unknown, but if you were to look closely, you would see that Alexis erased another name before she wrote unknown. You can make out two upper case letter “C’s”. You can also faintly see a lower case “e”.
Athena: You mean…..?
Krystle: Alexis knew Cecil Colby was Adam’s father right from the start and, all these years, she covered it up even though she was somehow able to make another application and this time, she listed Blake as the father
Consuela: I see…..
Leslie: Wait! It’s get better!
Athena: But how was Alexis able to keep something like this from her ex-husband all these years?
Leslie: Ex-husband?
Athena: I don’t understand.
Krystle: Did Alexis ever tell you how old she was when she married Blake.
Athena: She herself never said it, but I’ve heard it said that she was 17 or something like that.
(Consuela looks incredulously over at Leslie who is shaking her head)
Krystle: When Alexis filed her application for Adam’s Birth Certificate, she listed her date of birth on BOTH copies as May 23, 1933. If she were 17 as she claimed, she would have had to have born in 1937 or 1938 at the latest.
Consuela: I don’t get it.
Leslie: When Alexis married Blake in June of 1955, she was already pregnant with Adam. She figured she could trap either my uncle Blake or Cecil Colby into marriage by claiming she was 17. Unfortunately, uncle Blake took the bait.
Athena: Ay Dios mio (Oh my God)! Do you mean to tell me…..?
Krystle: Alexis falsified her marriage documents, making her marriage to Blake Carrington invalid. Not only am I Blake Carrington’s widow, but, LEGALLY, I was his ONLY wife!
Consuela: Then that means that Alexis’ divorce from Blake Carrington is…..
Leslie: Is also null and void!
Consuela: This could destroy any chances Alexis might have of winning the bidding for my uncle and Spiro Koralis’ shares. So we now have…..
Leslie (smiling as she nods her head): Leverage! That’s exactly what we’re counting on.
John Ross Ewing III: I hope y’all don’t mind meeting down here in our office, Brother-in-Law.
Patrick: Not in the slightest.
Krystina: We’re all here for the conference. I know it doesn’t start until Friday, but it still gives me a chance to visit with Mom.
Leslie: Krystina, you know your visits always lift your Mom’s spirits.
Colonel Danny McCarty, USAFR: So what is the deal with this conference? I want to make sure that Ewing Industries is an integral part of this new shipbuilding program we have going.
Leslie: Ewing Industries is part of the long range plan, Danny. You have our word.
John Ross: So who all’s comin’ to this thing?
Leslie: OK. Let’s see. King Edvard III and Queen Paige of Denmark are coming. The FREMM Project is something that is near and dear to Eddie’s heart and Paige wants to come a little early to help break ground on the expansion of the Children’s wing at Cheney Hospital.
Patrick: Now that the caretaker government in Greece has been dissolved and the election issue has been settled, Kyriakos Mitsotakis has once again been sworn in as Prime Minister of the Hellenic Republic. The new Minister of National Defense Nikos Dendias will also be here.
Chip: Like you said, Pat. This project is something that is hear and dead to Eddie’s heart.
Patrick: That’s right. Which, brings me to my next point. A recent hot topic of conversation has been the possibility that Sweden is wishing to end its long neutrality and is looking to join NATO. As such, they are interested in the FREMM Program and their Prime Minister is sending someone to act as his designated representative and, Chip, that’s where you come in.
Chip: I don’t understand.
Leslie: Chip. The designated representative that the Swedish Prime Minister is sending is his Chief of Staff, Brandon Lindqvist.
Chip: You’re serious! He’s still the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff?
Patrick: Yeah, Bud. I’m afraid we are and, yes, he is.
Chip: Do you need me to talk to him?
Patrick: Yes we do. I think the Swedish Parliament wants to put their potential membership in NATO to a vote here pretty soon and we’d like him to convince their parliament to vote yes. Chip. I know he was your significant other before you married Jazz, which would make this a difficult situation for you.
Leslie: Chip. If you don’t want to do this, we’ll understand.
Chip: No! This is a project that is very important to our families. This is a project that is VERY important to the future of our companies AND the cartel. Also, it is a project that is important to the future of global security.
Patrick: Chip. It’s OK. I know you and he shared a history together when he was Bradley Wilson and I know that the circumstances under which you guys parted were not the most pleasant. Like Leslie said. If you don’t want to do this, we’ll understand.
Chip: Brother-in-Law. I want to do this.
John Ross: You sure, Bro?
Chip (nods his head): I’m sure. Our families have always stuck together through thick and thin. I want to do this.
Patrick (shakes Chip’s hand and pats his back): Thank you, Brother-in-Law. You know I’ve always had your six. Are Christopher and Tiffany coming in for this thing?
Krystina: They’ll be in tomorrow.
John Ross: We heard anything about Alexis and her bid for those shares?
Patrick: Nope. But, I suspect that there’s somebody else we’ll be hearing from regarding a bid really soon.
(MEANWHILE – Darrell Kimball’s office – Troxell Enterprises – Troxell Center – 633 17th Street – Denver, Colorado)
Lillian Kimball (in Darrell’s office with him and rises as Moses enters the room): Now, Moses. What’s going on? We’ve been waiting here on pins and needles.
Darrell Kimball (also rising as Moses enters the room): Yeah. Come on, Dad. Have you made a decision regard the bid for the Koralis and Powers shares?
Moses Kimball (sits down): Please. Sit down. As I’m sure you’re aware. A lot of outstanding companies have decided not to bid on these shares. These companies have their reasons as to why they have decided not to bid. I understand them and I respect them. There are also a lot of less than reputable companies that will be submitting bids. So…..I have decided that Troxell Enterprises…..

Consuela Alvarez-Rivera tells Lauren and Terry about the disturbing information she came across concerning her uncle Zach Powers and she sets up a meeting with them in their office.
Scene: WEDNESDAY morning – July 5, 2023 – Lauren Colby Wilson’s office – The Denver Chronicle – Denver-Carrington Center – 1954 Blake Carrington Plaza – Denver, Colorado…..
Collen Murphy (comes into Lauren’s office with the headline for tomorrow’s Denver Chronicle): Here it is, Lauren…..(hands her the headline)…..What do you think?
Lauren: I like it. I think this is the way we’re going to go…..(sees Terry coming in)…..Well…..here’s our Managing Editor…..let’s see what she thinks?
Colleen: What do you think, Terry?
Terry: I think it looks great. We’ll let them know down in editorial this is the way we’re going with tomorrow’s headline. You did a nice job.
Colleen: Thanks, Terry. I’ll get right on it.
Consuela Alvarez (comes into the office): Lauren. Terry. Thank you both for taking the time to meet with me.
Lauren: Consuela. Please. Come in.
Colleen: Oh! I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you had another appointment. Please excuse me. Terry. I’ll get right on this.
Terry: Oh! I’m sorry. Consuela. This is Colleen Murphy. She interns for us in our Web Design Department. Colleen. This is Consuela Alvarez-Rivera.
Colleen: CEO of Alvarezco of Barcelona, Spain?
Consuela: That’s right, my dear.
Colleen: I was just leaving. I have to get these proofs for tomorrow’s headline down to editorial.
Terry: It’s OK, Colleen…..please stay. You guys don’t mind if she stays for a few moments, do you? After all, she’s going to be graduating from the University of Missouri – THE best Journalism school in the entire country. The same one that produced…..me!
Lauren: Didn’t Mort Walker, the guy that drew Beetle Bailey, go there?
Terry: He sure did.
Lauren: I don’t mind if she stays. Consuela?
Consuela: Not at all.
Colleen: Thanks, Lauren. Thanks, Terry. Muchos gracias, Senora Rivera.
Consuela: Please, my dear. Call me Consuela.
Colleen: Thank you…..Consuela.
Lauren: Let’s get down to business. Consuela. You said you had something more regarding Zach Powers and Eduardo Alvarez.
Terry: And you said you’ve already told your mother?
Consuela: That’s right. I have this entry from my uncle’s journal dated January 27, 1986:
“I have met with Alexis in her office at Colbyco. She has expressed some apprehension that our take over of Alvarezco was not going according to plan. I have informed her that a plan is being put into place to insure that Eduardo Alvarez cooperates with us. and if he doesn’t he will have to be kept quiet. I have reminded Alexis of the importance of this deal to both Powers Shipping and Colbyco. I have also reminded her that she needs to keep silent until the time is right. Alexis has given me her word that, for the time being, she will remain silent…..”
Terry (nodding her head): WOW! Queen Beyotch was involved in all of this.
Lauren (takes a deep breath as she shakes her head): I can’t believe this……Wait a minute!…..What am I saying???…..Yes I can!!
Consuela: I know she’s your grandmother, Lauren. I am so sorry.
Lauren: You have nothing to apologize for Consuela. I stopped making excuses for my grandmother a long damn time ago!
Terry: This could nuke any chances Alexis may have at winning the bidding for those shares of Koralis Shipping and Powers Shipping.
Lauren: Not only that, but if she’s still thinking of running that phony story about Uncle Pat and Aunt Leslie, we’ve now got more than enough leverage to use against her.
Terry: Speaking of Uncle Pat. I’m doing a freelance gig for The Navy Times about that conference they have coming up. I’ll be interviewing your Uncle Pat about the status of the U.S. Navy.
Lauren: Sounds good. Consuela. You have our word that we will not run a story concerning Zach Powers unless we have your explicit permission.
Consuela: Thank you both. I know you do your jobs with the utmost integrity, but there is more I’d like to share. This is an entry from my uncle’s journal dated January 30, 1986:
“I have grown impatient over the delays in our takeover of Alvarezco. Instead of waiting for someone else to make sure Eduardo Alvarez was eliminated, I have had to take matters in my own hands and do the job myself. Eduard Alvarez is now out of the way and the way for Powers Shipping and Colbyco to take over Alvarezco is now clear. I have not yet told Alexis of this, but for the time being, she does need to know.”
Terry: But the takeover never actually materialized.
Consuela: No, Terry. It didn’t. It turns out that Zach and Alexis underestimated my mother.
Lauren: What do you mean?
Terry: How was Athena able to stop her brother’s takeover bid for Alvarezco?
Consuela: My mother had a contingency plan in place with our board of directors. I inherited enough common and preferred stock in my father’s will and since I had already reached the age of majority, I was able to exercise control of those shares myself. Once I finished college, I was immediately installed as President.
Terry: And there was nothing that Zach or Queen Beyotch could do about it?
Consuela: No. Between me, my mother and loyal board members, we had enough votes to stop any takeover attempt by my Uncle Zach or Alexis.
Terry: So. Is that why Queen Beyotch has an axe to grind against your mother?
Consuela: That’s part of it, Terry. There’s also the fact that Alexis tried to seduce my father back in the 1970’s and my mother caught them.
Lauren: Kind of the same way she tried to seduce my Grandpa Jason. Unfortunately, he briefly succumbed to my grandmother’s boudoir charms.
Consuela: As much as Alexis would want people to believe that he did, neither did my father.
Colleen: WOW! Knowing what I know about Alexis. NONE of this surprises me. Terry. I’ll get these proofs down to editorial.
Terry: You stayed and listened and gleaned information. THAT’S how you become a hard hitting journalist. OK now, Sweetie. Go on! Scoot!
(THURSDAY morning – July 6, 2023 – Patrick and Leslie’s office)
Patrick (kisses his wife): Mmmmmm…..Babe…..you ready to take on the world…..again!?
Leslie: Sure am, Hun.
Patrick: Well…..first things first. I have a surprise for you. You know that townhouse in Washington, DC we looked at?
Leslie (excitedly): You mean the 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath one in Georgetown???
Patrick: That’s the one!
Leslie (happily): Patrick Carrington Jennings, Sr. what did you do??
Patrick: Well…..you know…..all those trips we take to Washington. Not that I don’t like staying at Willard’s Hotel. I do. After all, it is where my great great great grandfather stayed when he took command of the Union Army in 1864.
Leslie: This is true.
Patrick: However…..the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve been thinking that it doesn’t make sense to fritter away all that dough every time we go to DC. So…..
Leslie: Patrick!!!
Patrick: OK…OK…OK!! I had Fallon call Virginia yesterday and we closed the deal this morning.
Leslie (hugs her husband): Oh, Hun! You didn’t!
Patrick (shows his wife the picture): Sure did. We talked her down to a million three. It’s ours. Like you said. It’s in Georgetown. It’s right around the corner from Matt Culver’s and Bill and Patricia Fallmont’s places and it’s less than a mile from my alma mater.
Leslie: Nice!
Patrick: Get this. It’s also not too far from JFK’s old Georgetown Townhouse, which just sold for $4.2 mil. The best thing is, we’ve got extra bedrooms just in case we need them and…..we’ve got a place to go in DC just in case we need some alone time.
Leslie (sits in her husband’s lap): Wow! You think of everything, don’t you?
Patrick (wraps his arms around his wife): Isn’t that why you married me?…..(he and his wife start kissing)
Leslie: Mmmmmm. a little intra-office hanky-panky with the CEO…..you DO think of everything…..(she and her husband continue making out)
Patrick (buzzes the outer office): Miranda? Hold all our calls for the next hour or so.
Leslie: You know you’re terrible. We’re not going to get anything done today.
Patrick (with a slight laugh): C’mon, Babe! You forget who you’re talking to.
Miranda (from the outer office flashing a knowing smile): Yes, Patrick.
(AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER)
Miranda (sees Consuela Alvarez-Rivera getting off the elevator): Buenos días, señora Rivera y bienvenida a Denver-Carrington. ¿Como puedo ayudarte? (Good morning, Senora Rivera and welcome to Denver-Carrington. How may I help you?)
Consuela: You’re too kind, Senorita Gonzales. I am here to see your bosses.
Miranda: No es un problema. Les diré que estás aquí. (No problem. I’ll tell them you’re here)…..(buzzes the inner office)…..Guys. Consuela Rivera is here to see you.
Leslie: Thank you, Miranda. Send her in.
Miranda: Yes, Leslie. Puede pasar ahora, señora Rivera (You may go in now, Senora Rivera).
Consuela: Muchos gracias. Habla muy bien español, señorita Gonzales (Thank you very much. You speak Spanish very well, Senorita Gonzales).
Miranda: Gracias, señora Rivera. Lo hablábamos mucho en casa cuando yo crecía en California (Thank you, Senora Rivera. We spoke it a lot in the home when I was growing up in California).
(A FEW MINUTES LATER)
Leslie: So you’re telling us you have more information on Alexis and your uncle Zach?
Consuela: That’s right. I went through some more of my Uncle Zach’s papers and, as I told your daughter-in-law and Lauren Wilson, I found out that he was the one who was behind my father’s disappearance.
Patrick: I hate to say this, Consuela, but I can say that I’m not surprised and I wouldn’t be surprised if Alexis Colby was also involved.
Consuela: She was involved, but how directly involved she was remains to be seen.
Leslie: We figured she might be involved somehow or at least she knew about exactly what went on.
Consuela: There’s more to it than just my father’s disappearance.
Patrick: I can’t wait to hear this.
Consuela: A few days after my father disappeared, he turned up dead. Then, I come to find out he was murdered.
Leslie: What???
Consuela: Yes. My father was murdered. My uncle had originally planned to hire someone to do it, but ended up deciding to do the job himself…..(she then starts to cry and Leslie hugs her)…..Thank you, Leslie.
Leslie: Athena had to have been devastated when she found out what happened.
Consuela: She was, but at least now we know who was directly responsible for my father’s death.
Patrick (takes a deep breath): That may be true, but yet another person has ended up dead and Alexis is somehow connected.
Leslie: Tell me about it.
Consuela (slightly angry): I know that this does give SOME closure, but you can bet that my mother and I WILL be talking to Alexis!!
Leslie: I’d like to be a fly on the wall for that one.
Patrick: You and me both.
Leslie: Oh! Hun? You know the Ewings are going to be here in Colorado right before the FREMM Conference.
Patrick: I know. They’ll be here the 19th or 20th and the conference kicks off on the 21st.
(FRIDAY morning – July 7, 2023 – Alexis Colby’s office – Morell Enterprises, Inc. – Granite Tower – 1090 18th Street – Denver, Colorado/Francine Brummel’s condo – The Residences at St. Regis – 363 East Wacker Drive – Chicago, Illinois)
Francine Brummel (answers her phone): Hello? This is Francine Brummel.
Alexis: Francine, dahling! This is Alexis Colby.
Francine: Alexis! It’s been far too long! To what do I owe the pleasure?
Alexis: I suppose you’ve already heard, but your ex-husband’s latest tart Shannon Everett has struck a deal with my wretched once again daughter-in-law Sammy Jo Reece-Carrington.
Francine: Yes. I heard. What does this have to do with me?
Alexis: Well, dahling. I suppose you’ve also heard that my daughter Fallon’s newest resort property on the shores of Lake Brummel in Illinois is getting ready to open right before Labor Day Weekend.
Francine: Yes. Unfortunately, I heard that too. Again, Alexis. What does this have to do with me?
Alexis: Well, dahling. I understand you’ve been wanting to revive your fashion house Francine’s Fashions.
Francine: Yes I do.
Alexis: Well…..I have the capital to help make that possible.
Francine: Are you serious, Alexis?
Alexis: Yes, dahling. I am. I also understand that one of the events occurring during the opening of Fallon’s new resort will be a fashion show where some of the latest fashions by Reece House of Fashion and Designs by Magnus will be shown.
Francine: Yes. That’s what word on the street says. Designs by Magnus. That Magnus Lightwood-Bane’s company.
Alexis: Unfortunately, yes. Well, dahling. How do you think it look if Sammy Jo and Shannon saw some of their models modeling your creations…..with a little help from Fashion Fury, of course?
Francine: Of course! I like the way you think, Alexis. By the way. I saw your cover article in Elle. I was very impressed.
Alexis: Thank you, dear. It’s about time the world found out who the real power in the fashion industry is. I guarantee you before the year is out Fashion Fury and Francine’s Fashions will be bigger household names than Reece House of Fashion or Designs by Magnus ever thought of being. After all, I do have certain connections in the world of Haute Couture. Namely, Kris Jenner.
Francine:Now I’m really impressed!
Alexis: Oh! Dahling! There is one more thing.
Francine: What’s that, Alexis?
Alexis: Avis Novack.
Francine: What about him?
Alexis: You remember. Your ex-husband’s would-be killer. The one that used to bartend at the Brown Palace Hotel. We’re going to need him to make sure everything goes wrong for Sammy Jo and Shannon. So…..we’re going to have to make sure he doesn’t talk beforehand.
Francine: I understand.
Alexis: Good. Now that we’re on the same page, we’ll talk again in about a week or two. Ciao, Dahling!…..(hangs up her phone)
Francine: Bye, Alexis…..(also hangs up)
(FRIDAY evening – the Library of the Carrington mansion – 173 Wessex Drive – Golden, Colorado)
Terry: So you’re saying that Russia and China have the potential to be even more dangerous enemies that they were during the Cold War?
Patrick: Key word here, Blondie…..POTENTIAL! We know that the Russkies are assembling a Death Fleet in the Mediterranean as we speak. However…..their supposedly greatest weapon, the carrier Admiral Kuznetsov is in drydock indefinitely, which has set the Russians back a little while.
Terry: And China?
Patrick: No matter what walk of life you happen to be pursuing at the moment, the lesson remains the same. NEVER take your opponent lightly.
Terry: I get where you’re coming from, Patrick.
Patrick: When I was active, President Reagan had visions of a 600 ship Navy and we had TWELVE active carrier Battle Groups. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, those numbers have shrunk to EIGHT Carrier Battle Groups and around 300 ships.
Terry: I know China has an advantage in terms of sheer numbers over the U.S. but you said we were in a higher state of material readiness.
Patrick: Yes I did and I stand firmly behind that statement. They have 79 Submarines to our 68, but only 12 of theirs are nukes as opposed to EVERY SINGLE ONE of ours and, as such, our subs are capable of staying submerged longer and they have far greater range. We have 11 Aircraft Carriers and 9 Helo Carriers in active service for a grand total of 20 while China has 2 Aircraft Carriers and 1 Helo Carrier for a grand total of…..3! While the Chinese do have greater numbers, we have the distinct advantage in terms of superior technology, metric tonnage and greater firepower.
Terry: Wow! It sounds like you have the utmost confidence in our modern navy.
Patrick: You bet I do, Blondie. Companies like Denver-Carrington, the Deveraux Group, Ewing Industries, Forrest Aerospace and Colby Enterprises are part of what makes the U.S. Navy what it is today.
Terry: Is there anything you’d like to say in closing, Patrick?
Patrick: You bet there is! To reiterate my answer to your original question. Can we win? You bet your ass we can!
Terry: Thank you, Patrick. This will be in the issue of The Navy Times dated July 24, 2023, which means it should be out in time for the FREMM Conference.
Patrick: Glad I could be of service, Blondie.
(MONDAY morning – July 10, 2023 – Patrick, Jr.’s office – Denver-Carrington Center – 1954 Blake Carrington Plaza – Denver, Colorado)
Patrick, Jr.: Thanks for getting up here so quickly, Man!
Gerald Wilson III: Yeah. I was going to say. It sounded pretty urgent. What’s going on?
Patrick, Jr.: I know we’ve been waiting like forever on this, but I just talked to Ed McCormick a little bit ago.
Gerald Wilson III: Oh cool! What did he have to say?
Patrick: You know we’ve had a lead on that spy in the Turkish Defense Ministry for a long time, right?
Gerald Wilson III: Yeah.
Patrick: Well…..we just got something a whole hell of a lot better. Ed got a hold of Calvin Baynard at INTERPOL and it looks like we now have a positive ID on the guy…..(turns his laptop so Gerald can see it)
Gerald Wilson III (looking at Patrick, Jr.’s laptop): Oh wow! We need to get up to your dad’s office pronto and let him know what’s going on.
Patrick, Jr.: I was just thinking the same thing because not only did I talk to Ed McCormick, but he’s in my dad’s office right now!
Gerald Wilson III: Who is this guy?
Patrick, Jr.: I’ll fill everybody in once we get up there. Come on! Let’s go!…..(Patrick, Jr. and Gerald Wilson III then leave Patrick, Jr.’s office)
Gerald Wilson III: Sounds like a plan!

The day before the beginning of the MLB London Series, some of the family gathers at the British Museum for an exhibition of rare baseball cards – some of which belong to Patrick.
At the opening, Patrick, Leslie and Brummel Agricultural Enterprises Chairman Eban Brummel have an ugly confrontation with Alexis.
Sable broaches the subject of the bid package for the shares of Koralis Shipping and Powers Shipping with Bliss who is in London with Kolya to watch their son play for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Patrick and Leslie are incredulous at Sable’s suggestion that Patrick place wagers on the outcome of the MLB London Series and Patrick reminds Sable that it is against the rules of organized baseball.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales attend the opening at the British Museum and then, with their children, attend the Sunday game of the MLB London Series.
The Sunday game of the MLB London Series is won by the St. Louis Cardinals 7-5 over the Chicago Cubs after the Cubs had won the previous day’s game.
Patrick, Leslie and Cedric Parkhurst meet with Eban Brummel at the Denver-Carrington London office to discuss an agri-business deal in Eastern Europe.
Patrick, Patrick, Jr. and Milton meet at United States Naval Support Activity – Naples with Adm. Robert Burke, COMUSNAVFOREURAF and Ed McCormick to discuss the missing consignment of military weapons.
Scene: FRIDAY morning – GMT+1 – June 30, 2023 – Patrick’s office – Naval Support Activity Naples – 81030 Gricignano di Aversa – Naples, Italy
Admiral Robert Burke, USN – Commanding Officer, United States Naval Forces – Europe/Africa: What are you saying, Pat?
Patrick: I’m saying that those weapons could be on their way to Equatorial Guinea or Gabon by now.
Leslie: Or worse…..Russia or China.
Admiral Burke: You also said you a good idea who was making sure they got there too.
Patrick: I do. I think Alexis Colby’s boy toy Nigel Havensworth is behind it. Leslie just mentioned Russia and China. He has been seen in both places.
Leslie: As a matter of fact, Bob, Alexis Colby had asked Patrick to go to Moscow to see if he was there and, if he was, to go get him and bring him back to the States.
Patrick, Jr.: For all we know, Sir, he could still be there.
Admiral Burke: I see. Pat. I know you. You’re true blue. There’s no way in hell you would have done such a thing.
Patrick: Absolutely not!
Ed McCormick: Bob. Pat just mentioned Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Both countries have recently placed orders for high tech US and Italian weapons and we have reason to believe that those orders were placed through Nigel Havensworth.
Milton: That was the consignment of weapons that was supposed to go to Ukraine. The one that the Klitschko Brothers were counting on.
Ed McCormick: We will have people on the ground in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea and you can bet your ass that we will make sure those weapons never get there. We gotten with some of the personnel that were supposed to be involved with shipping the weapons from Ramstein Air Force Base and we reviewed the security footage and we think it was an inside job.
Patrick, Jr.: Sir. We’ve gotten with SECNAV and SECDEF and we are making arrangements for a new consignment of weapons to be delivered to Ukraine.
Milton: Our contact at DOD is George William Hazzard III. He’s the Under Secretary of Defense for Manpower and Procurement.
Patrick: We’re trying to keep it on the down low…..for now, but the Klitschkos have been notified. All we need to do is get with the Italians and I know just the right person to contact about that.
Admiral Burke: Thank you, Gentlemen. I want to change gears. It concerns your two week annual active duty obligation. The three of you…..Pat. Mister Jennings…..Mister Cox…..will be reporting to me here in Naples in August.
Patrick: Of course, Bob.
Milton: Yes, Sir.
Patrick, Jr.: Yes, Sir.
Patrick: After the FREMM Conference in Denver at the end of July. King Edvard III of Denmark will be there.
Admiral Burke: Yes, of course. Pat. Mister Jennings. Mister Cox. We need the three of you representing the Navy at that conference. That means…..Leslie…..Sandra. You ladies will be acting as the designated representatives of your companies and you will be on the ground for your companies while your husbands are on active duty.
Leslie: Understood. Chances are Cedric Parkhurst will be on active duty with the Royal Navy at the same time.
Sandra: Of course.
Admiral Burke: Terry.
Terry: Sir?
Admiral Burke: Now we come to you. You did an outstanding job as an embedded journalist last year. Well…..except for the fact that Ensign Rollins couldn’t control himself.
Terry: Thank you, Admiral. As for Ensign Rollins, I should have knocked his block off when I had the chance.
Admiral Burke: Ensign Rollins’ conduct was reprehensible. That not withstanding. I’m sure you will be covering the FREMM Conference.
Terry: Yes, Sir. I will.
Admiral Burke: We’re also going to need you to come back in August as an embedded journalist. Again. Even though I know you always do, please, use your best judgement when you write your stories.
Terry: I will and thank you, Sir.
(MONDAY morning – July 3, 2023 – Alexis’ office – Morell Enterprises, Inc. – Granite Tower – 1090 18th Street – Denver, Colorado)
David (as Patrick and Leslie push past him): I’m sorry, Mrs. Colby. I tried to stop them!
Alexis: It’s quite all right, David. Well…well…well…..Patrick and Leslie Jennings! What a lovely surprise!
David: Will that be all, Mrs. Colby?
Alexis: Yes, David. You may go.
David: Yes, Mrs. Colby.
Leslie: This isn’t a social call, Alexis!
Alexis (with a lilt of laughter): Why! Patrick and Leslie, dahlings! I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Leslie: Oh! We think you do. We suppose you know nothing about a C-130 cargo plane crashing near the Polish-Ukrainian border and a missing consignment of US and Italian made military weapons.
Patrick: And we suppose you nothing about the fact that orders for US and Italian made weapons were recently placed by the governments of Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
Alexis: Oh my God, Patrick! You’re just like your mother! Must you bleat on ad nauseum about everything!
Patrick: This goes WAY beyond bleating ad nauseum, Alexis. THIS IS ABOUT NATIONAL SECURITY, DAMN YOU!!!…..(Patrick pounds his fist on Alexis’ desk)
Leslie: it’s also about your boy toy Nigel Havensworth. Seems awfully convenient that since the start of the Russia-Ukraine War, nobody seems to know where he is.
Alexis: What’s this got to do with me??
Leslie: Other than the fact that you hem and haw every time his name comes up in conversation…..nothing! Now…..your boy toy is gone…..supposedly…..and orders for high tech weapons were recently placed by Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, two nation ranked near the bottom of the barrel on the Human Rights Index. Those countries just HAPPEN to be two of his biggest customers. Coincidence??…..(shakes her head)…..I don’t think so!!!
Patrick: The question has remained unanswered for quite some time now, Alexis. So, I’ll ask it again…..WHERE THE HELL IS HE, DAMN IT???
Alexis (indignant): I tell you I don’t know!!!
Leslie: What’s the matter, Alexis? Are we hitting a nerve??
Alexis: Now, dahlings! Let tell you both something. You are going to end this freezing out of Morell Enterprises from your business deals or else…..
Leslie: Or else what???
Alexis: Or else THIS becomes tomorrow’s headline!…..(shows Patrick and Leslie the headline from the next day Denver World Express)
Leslie: What???
Patrick: Pfffft!!…..get real!! That’s a bunch of bullshit, Alexis and you know it!! But, I gotta hand it to you. The New YorkTimes’ moto is “All the news that’s fit to print!” Leave it to you to get it mixed up. I guess your moto is “If the news fits, we’ll print it!”
Alexis: So…..Patrick. Leslie. What’s it going to be? Are you going to start letting me in on some of your business deals?
Leslie: Nothing doing!!
Alexis: Well then…..I guess you leave me no choice. I’ll just call down to editorial and tell them to…..(starts to pick up the phone on her desk)
Patrick (angrily reaches for her arm before she can pick up the phone and shakes his head)…..that’s what you think!!…..OK, Alexis! Here’s how shit’s going to go down!! You print so much as one word of that crap in that tabloid fish wrapper of yours, then I swear to God! Not only will we sue your ass in court for libel, BUT you will also go down for aiding and abetting a fugitive and seeing as who that fugitive is, then you will also go down for treason!! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR???
Alexis: You’ll never get away with this, Patrick and Leslie Jennings!!! Mark my words!!! You’re doing the same to me that you did to my father with that pack of lies!!
Patrick: Oh! I do apologize, Alexis! I’m so sorry that the Chronicle just had to go and print that vicious pack of…..facts!!
Leslie: Don’t bother getting up, Alexis! We’ll see ourselves out!…..(she and Patrick then leave the room)
Alexis (slumps down in her chair): Oh my God!
(TUESDAY afternoon July 4, 2023 – INDEPENDENCE DAY – Annual Carrington Fourth Celebration – The Carrington mansion – 173 Wessex Drive – Golden, Colorado)
(One by one, family dogs, Abby, Lucky, Trixie, Crosby, Jupiter, Juno and Minerva enjoy a dip in the mansion pool as family cat Roxie looks on)
Joe Wilkins: My people and I worked nonstop yesterday, Krystle and I got ’em done. Apple and Cherry pies for everybody.
Krystle: Thank you, Joe. You did a really nice job!
Joe: I’m glad to do it, Krystle. You know my dad Sam went above and beyond for this family many times.
Krystle: Yes he did and so do you. We all loved your father very much. We feel the same about you and you know you’re welcome here any time.
Joe: Thanks a lot, Krystle. It means a lot to hear you say that.
Krystle: Once again. I want to welcome everybody to our annual Carrington Fourth of July celebration and I’d like to begin by having my step granddaughter-in-law Jessica Forrest Carrington and our good friend Lillian Moore Kimball sing our National Anthem.
Jessica Forrest-Carrington and Lillian Kimball (in unison): Oh say can you see.
By the Dawn’s Early Light.
What so proudly we hailed at the Twilight’s last gleaming.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars. Through the perilous fight.
O’er the ramparts we watched. Were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets red glare. The bombs bursting in air.
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave.
O’er the land of the free.
And the home of the brave.
Krystle: Another tradition we have here at Carrington Fourth is the reading of the Declaration of independence. A tradition that was begun by Blake at the first Carrington Fourth celebration in 1991. By Blake’s request, it has been continued by my son Patrick.
Patrick: Thank you, Mom. If I could have everyone’s attention for the next several moments.
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” “Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. “He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. “He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. “He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. “He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. “He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the rights of the people. “He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. “He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. “He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers. “He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. “He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. “He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power. “He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: “For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: “For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: “For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: “For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: “For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury: “For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: “For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighboring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: “For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: “For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. “He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. “He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. “He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. “He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. “He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. “In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” “Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.” “We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
Krystle: Thank you, Patrick. That was wonderful.
Darryl Kimball: Pat. Leslie.
Leslie: Darryl. Lillian. We’re glad you could make it and Lillian you and Jessica did a wonderful job with the national anthem.
Patrick: Yes you did. It’s always a nice way to kick things off on Carrington Fourth.
Lillian; Thank you both.
Darryl: Nice job on the Declaration, Pat.
Patrick: Thanks, Darryl. It meant a lot when Blake asked me right before he died to continue the tradition and it means all that much more being a veteran.
Darryl: I get that. Believe me. Where are Milt and Sandra? I haven’t seen them yet.
Leslie: And you won’t. They’re in Sacramento watching Franklin play in the NBA Summer League for the Nuggets.
Patrick: We know Nick’s in Chicago…..again! But, where are Moses and Alice?
Lillian: They should be along any minute now.
Patrick: I know this isn’t the time or the place, but has Troxell Enterprises made a decision on the bidding for the Koralis/Powers assets?
Darryl: Not yet. I know the RFP hasn’t gone out yet.
Patrick: Yeah. I know. The Greek government’s policy seems to be “hurry up and wait”.
Leslie: There’s really no rush and we’ll respect whatever decision you make.
Lillian: Thank you for that, Leslie. We know you will. But, we do want to run everything by Moses first.
Leslie: Understandable.
Patrick: Man! I can’t believe him. 92 years old and he STILL goes into work everyday.
Darryl: Yeah. Dad’s always had only two speeds. Fast and stop.
Max McLaurin-Carrington: Excuse me. If we could have everybody’s attention please.
Danny Carrington: Hello again, everybody and welcome once again to our family’s celebration of Independence Day…..Carrington Fourth!…..(Danny then gets a guitar and joins Huey Lewis and the News on stage)
Jennifer McLaurin-Carrington: We have some very special musical guests today that we know all you old fogies out there can dance to!
Jessica: Ladies and Gentlemen! Without further adieu! Here they are…..Huey Lewis and the News!!!
The News: I don’t want to be lonely baby please tell me
Huey: I want to love you all over
Huey Lewis and the News (in unison): Do you believe in love Do you believe it’s true Do you believe in love
Huey: Oh you’re making me believe it too Now the feeling is beginning to grow And the meaning is something you only know If you believe it, take my hand and I’ll take your heart Come on Now I’m wondering
The News: Wondering
Huey: Where does true love begin I’m going under
The News: Under
Huey: So I’m letting you in My woman
The News I don’t want to be lonely baby please tell me
Huey: I want to love you all over
The News: Do you believe in love Huey: Do you believe in love The News: Do you believe it’s true Huey: You believe that’s it’s true The News: Do you believe in love Huey: Oh you’re making me believe it too
(Instrumental Bridge)
The News: I used to have you in a photograph Huey: I’m so glad it’s changed The News: But now I’ve got you and it’s gonna last Huey: Do you believe in love
Huey Lewis and the News (in unison): Do you believe in love The News: Do you believe it’s true Huey: I’m so glad! I’m so glad! The News: Do you believe in love Huey: Oh you’re making me believe it too, girl
The News: Wee ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh Huey: Do you believe in love? The News: Wee ooh, ooh ooh, wee ooh Huey: Do you believe it’s true? The News: Wee ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh Huey: Do you believe in love? The News: Wee ooh, ooh ooh, wee ooh Huey: I believe in love too
Jeff Bingham: I know it’s forty years later, but the News is still tight. I guess the “Heart of Rock and Roll” is still beating.
Patrick: You know it. I remember them at the Carrier Dome 84 right after our baseball game against you guys.
Jeff Bingham: Then we had the Yabba Grabba Brew Party. I was appointed Kegmaster General and I led my men…..
Patrick: Yeah I know to victory against the forces of sobriety. Unfortunately, I had to take it easy that night because we had another ball game the next day. I remember the speech. I also remember that t-shirt you had on. Whatever happened to it?
Jeff Bingham (looks over at his wife Audrey): Somebody here used it to make me a t-shirt quilt…..my wooby.
Leslie: You made his college t-shirts into a quilt??
Audrey: I had to do something. He couldn’t wear the damn things anymore. They no longer fit.
Leslie: What?? No. That’s smart.
Audrey: I swear! Men and their college fraternity stories. Is it like this for you too?
Leslie: Sometimes. Patrick doesn’t tell THAT many fraternity stories.
Audrey: Well, Leslie. To tell you the truth. I really don’t mind the fraternity stories all that much. I just like giving Jeff shit about it.
Patrick: Jeff. I have to tell you. You’re doing a great job as the head of the New York office.
Jeff Bingham: Thanks, Pat. It’s funny. When I was with Morgan Stanley, we were supposed to move our offices to the World Trade Center in 2001, but for obvious reasons, things got slightly delayed.
Patrick: I understand.
Audrey: Guys. We’d really like to thank you for inviting us
Leslie: Audrey. Jeff. It’s our pleasure and we’d like to thank you for coming.
Fallon (with Jeff Colby sees Alexis): Oh my God! What’s she doing here.
Jeff Colby: Who knows, Fallon? You’d think with with all the crap she’s pulled on this family over the years, she’d have the good sense NOT to show up here.
Alexis: Well…well…well…..Fallon. Jeff. Dahlings! So wonderful to see you and such a lovely day.
Fallon (exasperated): Oh come on, Mother!! Skip the social bullshit!! What are you doing here???
Alexis: Well…..I have a bit of a surprise regarding your…..baby brother…..as you call him and how he betrayed the country he supposedly loves!
Fallon: Mother, what have you done???
Alexis: Well…..you’ll just have to wait and find out, Dahling!
Jeff Colby: Nice try, Alexis. If you’re talking about that story you were going to run in The Denver World Express, Patrick and Leslie told me everything. If you’re thinking about a smear campaign, forget it! Anything you try to do, there’s NO factual evidence to support it.
Fallon: Unlike you, Mother, Patrick and Leslie Jennings are true RED, WHITE AND BLUE. They would NEVER do ANYTHING to betray their country. So, Mother, if you know what’s good for you, you’ll get the hell out of here…..RIGHT NOW!!!
Krystle (comes over to where Fallon, Jeff and Alexis are standing): I heard everything, Alexis!! I also heard that if you try to run that story of yours, Patrick and Leslie will sue you for libel and I will NOT hesitate to take the stand as a character witness for them. Now…..as your daughter said…..if you know what’s good for you, you’ll get the HELL out of my house…..RIGHT NOW!!!!
Alexis (as she’s leaving): This is not over! Nobody defeats Alexis…..NOBODY!!!
Fallon: Are you going to keep referring to yourself in the third person, Mother?
Athena Alvarez (angry when she sees Alexis): So! We meet again…..Perra Malvada (Evil Bitch)!! I think you and I need to have a serious talk.
Alexis (as she’s leaving): Oh! Get away from me, Athena! I haven’t any time for you and your trivial nonsense right now.
Jeff Colby: Athena. I couldn’t help overhearing. What was all that about between you and Alexis?
Alexis: Javier (Jeff). Consuela has uncovered some very disturbing information concerning Zach and my Eduardo and Alexis’ name came up.
Jeff Colby: What??? My God!!
Athena: I promise. We will talk about it when the time is right.
Jeff: I understand.
Eban Brummel (with Shannon Everett): Pat. Leslie. Thank you for inviting us. It’s been a long time.
Patrick (with Leslie, Steven and Sammy Jo): Yeah. A whole nine days! Seriously, Eban. Thank you for coming.
Eban: I wouldn’t have missed it. I’d like to introduce my date Shannon Everett.
Patrick: It’s a pleasure. You remember my better half Leslie and my step brother/brother-in-law Steven Carrington. I’d like to introduce my sister…..
Shannon: Sammy Jo Reece-Carrington! It’s so nice to finally meet you in person. I’m looking forward to working with you and Magnus Lightwood-Bane.
Sammy Jo: Thank you, Shannon. We’re glad to have you as part of our team. Why don’t we set aside some time so we can go over our deal in greater detail?
Shannon: That would be great, Sammy Jo. I’ll call you sometime next week.
Sammy Jo: Looking forward to it. I told you. We’re going to make your boutique a household name.
Patrick (whispers to Leslie): God! My big sis going corporate. Never thought I’d see the day.
Leslie (whispers back): Tell me about it.
Sammy Jo (laughing slightly): I heard that, you two!
Steven: Eban.
Eban: Hello, Steven
Steven: I heard about the deal you, Patrick, Leslie and my other brother-in-law Cedric Parkhurst made in London last week. I think it’s a good deal for both of our companies.
Eban: I didn’t want to pull the trigger until I knew we had a solid partner going in with us and I sure as HELL wasn’t going to make that deal with Alexis Colby!
Steven: Yeah. I heard about that too. This deal has my blessing. Patrick and Leslie have never steered my dad’s company wrong and I don’t think they’re about to start now.
Eban: Steven. As part of this deal, there are new building and warehouse facilities that we’re going to be building and I would really like to job those projects out to Carrington Construction.
Steven: Well…..you’ll have to talk to my son Max about that. He’s the CEO now. But, there is one condition.
Eban: Name it.
Steven: Patrick has done this for ALL of Denver-Carrington’s out of town and overseas projects. We’d like for you to hire local workers for the job. That’s our policy.
Eban (nods his head): Consider it done.
Leslie: Moses. Alice. Thank you both for coming. Krystle was hoping the both of you would be able to make it.
Alice Kimball: Krystle always out does herself. It was nice of her to open her home to us.
Leslie: You know you both are always welcome here.
Alice: Thank you, Leslie. If you all will excuse me. I’m going to find Krystle.
Patrick: Moses. we just talked to Darryl and Lillian and we were wondering about what Troxell Enterprises was going to do regarding the bidding for the Koralis/Powers shares.
Moses Kimball: I know the RFP has not gone out yet, but we are going to weigh our options very carefully.
Patrick: Of course, Moses. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
Leslie: Whatever you decision is, we’ll respect it.
Krystle: Ray. Sarah. Raeanne. We’re so glad you could come.
Ray Carrington: Hello, Krystle. We wouldn’t have missed this for the world. It’s nice that you’re keeping my father’s legacy alive in this way.
Krystle: It means a lot to hear you say that, Ray and I know Blake would be so proud of you right now.
Sarah Owens-Carrington: Thanks again for inviting us.
Raeanne Olivia Carrington: Thank you for having us, Grandma.
Krystle: This is your home too and you all know you’re welcome any time.
Raeanne (hugs Krystle): Thank you, Grandma.
Krystle (crying a little as Raeanne hugs her): You’re so welcome, Sweetie and thank you for calling me Grandma. That means a lot.
Patrick (comes over and sees his step niece): So, Kiddo! Now that you’re a University of Colorado grad, what are your plans?
Raeanne: Hey, Uncle Pat!! Well…..I’m going to take the rest of the Summer off and then I’m going to work for my dad starting in the Fall. I want to try that for a couple of years and…..I guess…..after that, I’ll go from there.
Patrick: Sounds like a plan. That OK with you, Dad?
Ray: It sure is. She’s been one of my best production assistants. She’s earned her spot.
Fallon (comes over and hugs Raeanne): How’s my fellow Emma Willard girl?? Congratulations, graduate!!
Raeanne (hugs Fallon in return): Thanks, Aunt Fallon! God! If Miss Baxter could see us now.
Fallon (with a tone of sadness): Oh, Honey. You didn’t hear, did you?
Raeanne: No! What happened?
Fallon (takes a deep breath): Miss Baxter was on a shopping trip in New York City about three weeks ago. She was coming out of Bloomie’s and was crossing Lexington Avenue when she got hit by a car. She suffered a traumatic brain injury and died four days later. The driver left the scene, but the cops finally caught up to him and he was charged with vehicular manslaughter.
Raeanne (shocked): Oh my God!
Ray: It looks like the dogs are enjoying themselves. What do you say we go give them a little exercise?
Patrick: Sounds great to me.
Sammy Jo (comes over): Oh, Sarah! I’m glad I caught you.
Sarah: What is it, Sammy Jo?
Sammy Jo: Well…..you know I’m finalizing the details of that deal with Shannon Everett. You know she’s going to be coming in next week to go over some things and I’d really like you to be there.
Sarah: If you don’t mind me asking, Sammy Jo…..how come?
Sammy Jo: Well…..you’re one of my top models and I’d really like your input.
Sarah: Thanks, Sammy Jo. That means a lot. Of course I’ll be there.
Consuela Alvarez Rivera: Lauren. Terry. do you have a minute?
Terry: Of course.
Consuela: I’d like to introduce my husband Jorge Inigo Rivera. Darling. This is Lauren Colby and Terry Jennings of the Denver Chronicle.
Jorge: My pleasure.
Lauren Colby Wilson: What can we do for you, Consuela?
Consuela: My mother and I have come across some very disturbing information concerning my Uncle Zach Powers and my father. My mother was devastated by what she found out.
Terry: My God! What happened???
Consuela: I don’t want to go into it in too much detail right now, but Lauren, I am sorry to say that your grandmother is involved.
Lauren: Consuela. You don’t have to apologize. I stopped making excuses for my grandmother a long damn time ago.
Terry (shaking her head): Queen Beyotch! Why am I NOT surprised??
Consuela: I know the two of you are journalists.
Lauren: Yes we are and we wouldn’t run any stories if we didn’t have your permission.
Consuela: I know that you wouldn’t. I am sure that you will handle everything with the utmost integrity.
Lauren: We wouldn’t handle it any other way.
Terry: You have our word on that. Whatever you need us to do, we’ll do it.
Consuela: Thank you both. At some point, I’d like to talk to you both about this in greater detail.
Lauren: Of course. Why don’t you come to the Chronicle offices tomorrow?
Consuela: I’ll see you then.
(A FEW HOURS LATER)

Scene: FRIDAY night – GMT (London time) – June 23, 2023 – The British Museum – Great Russell Street – London, UK
Alexis: Eban, Dahling! I’ve heard about your ideas for revitalizing the agricultural industry in Eastern Europe.
Eban: What are you saying, Alexis?
Alexis: I have the financial resources and with my backing, this project could become very big and would be a major boost to Eastern Europe’s economy.
Patrick (comes over with Leslie): Eban. Glad you could make it tonight. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow and Sunday.
Leslie (manages a fake smile): Hello, Alexis.
Alexis: I beg your pardon, MRS. JENNINGS, but Mr. Brummel and I are having a discussion IF you don’t mind!!
Eban: But, I DO mind, Alexis! I wouldn’t do business with your company if it were the last company on Earth. I don’t have any concrete proof as of yet, but if I find out that you were in ANY way involved with Francene and her attempt to poison me, mark my words, you will be VERY sorry!! Pat. Thank you to you and Leslie for coming over.
Patrick: Don’t mention it, Eban.
Leslie (manages another fake smile): IF you’ll excuse us, Alexis.
Eban: Thanks again, Pat. You saved me from a pretty bad situation. There’s no way in hell I’m doing business with that woman!!
Cedric Parkhurst (comes over with Amanda and sees Patrick and Leslie): Hello, Mate. Hello, Leslie. No way in hell we can let Eban Brummel get tangled up in a business arrangement with my miserable old hag of a mother-in-law.
Leslie: Tell me about it.
Amanda: Hello, Patrick. Hello, Leslie.
Patrick: Little Sis.
Amanda: We’re so glad you were able to come across the Pond again.
Leslie: Well…..the Cardinals playing the Cubs in London is a convenient excuse.
Amanda: Patrick. I’ve seen some of the baseball cards that are on display here. I had no idea quite a few of them were yours. I’m very impressed.
Patrick: Well thank you, Little Sis. I just hope the rest of the British public shares your sentiments just as I hope they’ll enjoy the baseball games this weekend.
Cedric (shakes hands with Patrick after seeing his rare baseball cards): Good show, Mate…..Eban old chap. My name is Commodore Cedric Parkhurst. Denver-Carrington is very interested in hearing some of Brummel Agricultural Enterprises’ ideas for revitalization of the agricultural industry in Eastern Europe. We have some agri-business companies in the Czech Republic and Slovakia that we are looking to prop up and I think we can help each other.
Eban: I think that could be arranged, Commodore Parkhurst. Let’s set some time aside next week and discuss it.
Cedric: I’d be delighted old chap.
Fallon: Oh my God! I heard everything! Mother what the hell are you doing here???
Alexis: Why Fallon, Dahling! London is my home and the British Museum is one of my very favorite cultural landmarks. But, I still don’t understand people are planning their time on this stupid game of baseball.
Fallon: Don’t try to change the subject, Mother. I’m not buying that.
Jeff: Neither am I, Alexis! You know Brummel Agricultural Enterprises is a solid business partner of Denver-Carrington. Yet, somehow, you get wind of the fact that Eban Brummel just happens to be here and you just want to see how you can horn in on any deals he might be involved in.
Alexis (trying to play it off with a lilt of laughter): Oh come now! Fallon. Jeff. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Fallon: Oh come on, Mother! I heard what Eban Brummel was saying to you about his wife trying to poison him. I hope to GOD you’re not involved in any of that!!
Alexis (indignant): Oh! Fallon! Don’t be ridiculous!
Fallon: I don’t know, Mother. If we were to find out that you were involved, it wouldn’t surprise me one damn bit!
Jeff: Wouldn’t surprise me either. If you were involved, Alexis. We’ll find out.
Patrick: Roberto. We’re glad you came over for the games.
Roberto: I did not want to miss this. It’s good to see baseball spreading all over the world. I’m looking forward to seeing game in Monterrey and Mexico City in the near future.
Milton: We sorry you have to bear witness to what the Cardinals are going through this year.
Roberto: I was a baseball player myself. I know that teams can have off years.
Sandra: The Cardinals have been a very successful franchise over the years. I’m sure this is only temporary.
Roberto: I quite agree, Dear Lady. I’m sure they will bounce back.
Milton: I think you’re right. We’ll talk more at the games.
Sable (comes over and kisses Roberto on the lips): Hello, Roberto dahling!…..(sees Bliss and Kolya)…..Bliss! Kolya! Dahlings! What are you both doing here???
Kolya Rostov: Seriously, Sable???
Sable: Well, yes, of course!
Kolya: I see you’re here with your latest arm candy. Who just happens to be one of our son’s bosses.
Sable: What???
Bliss: You know, Mother! Our son!! YOUR grandson!!! Who just HAPPENS to be the starting Centerfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals right now!!
Sable: Oh! Do forgive me. I had forgotten that.
Bliss: That’s just great, Mother. Way to take an interest in your grandson’s life!
Sable: Oh! Bliss, Dahling. While I have you here.
Bliss (exasperated): What is it, Mother???
Sable: I wanted to talk to you about the Koralis and Powers shares. I know Alexis is going to be making a play for those shares and I know Denver-Carrington is not in the running.
Kolya: I can’t say as I blame them, Sable. There’s an awful lot of baggage associated with those shares.
Sable: Kolya. I’m talking to my daughter about this. Kindly stay out of it.
Bliss: Oh no you didn’t just say that, Mother!! Anything you have to say to me, you can say in front of my husband!
Sable: All right then. Bliss. I am looking to submit a bid on the share of Koralis Shipping and the remaining shares of Powers Shipping. I know Alexis is going to be making a play for those and I’d like you to come in on the bidding with me.
Bliss: You’re unbelievable! You know that, Mother?? I’m not here to think about business! Kolya and I are here because Anya just danced with the New York City Ballet Road Company and the Royal Ballet last night and we’re here to watch our son play baseball tomorrow and Sunday.
Sable (sees Patrick and Leslie): Patrick, Dahling! I wonder if I might have a moment of your time!
Patrick (rolls his eyes): Oh Christ, Sable! What the HELL do YOU want???
Sable: I was wondering, since you are the part owner of the St. Louis team and Eban Brummel is the part owner of the Chicago team, if you were going to be making a few friendly little wagers on the games this weekend.
Patrick (looks at Sable incredulously): Excuse me…..what???
Leslie (also looks at Sable incredulously): Pardon me, Sable, but what did you just ask my husband???
Sable: It’s really nothing to be concerned about, Leslie dear, but I was merely asking your husband if he was going to be making any friendly little wagers on the baseball games this weekend.
Patrick: SABLE!!! ARE YOU FRIGGIN’ BRAIN DEAD???
Sable: What??? I don’t see that there’s any harm in friendly little nickel and dime wagering.
Patrick: When you’re involved in organized baseball, there most certainly is!! I, Milton Cox and your…..boyfriend…..if you will…..Roberto Salazar are part owners of the Cardinals. That makes us club officials and we are, therefore, involved in organized baseball. According to the rules, we can not bet on baseball in any way, shape or form and that includes betting on or against our own team. As a consequence, we, and your boyfriend included, would be forced to sell our shares and be banned from organized baseball forever!!
Patrick (bows): Your Highnesses. I’d like to welcome you both to this exhibition of rare baseball cards.
Leslie (curtseys): Your Highnesses. Thank you both for coming.
HRH William, Prince of Wales: Thank you you for inviting us, Admiral Jennings. We’re honored by the invitation. I vaguely remember baseball cards as a little boy. I had heard they were big business in the States and I wanted to see for myself.
HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales: My mother and father actually had the opportunity to take in a few baseball games whenever they flew to the States on business. We’ve seen your display and we’re rather impressed.
Patrick: Thank you. So you both will be attending the games then?
HRH William, Prince of Wales: Well…..we won’t be coming Saturday, but we will be at Sunday’s game.
Patrick: That’s fair enough. We look forward to seeing you at London Stadium on Sunday.
Leslie: Will you be bringing the children?
HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales: Actually, yes, we will. I don’t know about Princess Charlotte or Prince Louis, but we do believe that Prince George will enjoy himself.
HRH William, Prince of Wales: I’ve always been a big fan of sport and we look forward to see a rather spirited contest.
Leslie: Again. Thank you both for coming tonight.
Patrick: Please. Enjoy the opening. This exhibition is supposed to be here til mid-November.
(SUNDAY evening – GMT – June 25, 2023 – MLB London Series Game 2 – London Stadium – Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park – London, UK)
(St. Louis Cardinals Luxury Suite)
Bill DeWitt, Jr.: I’d like to thank everybody for being here with us to celebrate Major League Baseball’s return to London after a four year absence.
Bill DeWitt III: I can’t think of two better teams to mark the return of the London Series than the Chicago Cubs and our St. Louis Cardinals.
John Mozeliak: I know this hasn’t been the best of years for our team and I know yesterday’s game didn’t go so well, but I’m hoping that both teams will put on a good show today and that the Cardinals can still salvage something of their season.
Patrick: I hope so too, Mo. I think once our guys get healthy and stay healthy, anything can happen.
Leslie: Ladies and Gentlemen. We like to also welcome some very special guests that will be attending today’s game.
Patrick: Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales attended the opening of the History of Baseball exhibit at the British Museum Friday night and they accepted our invitation to attend the game today along with their family…..(bows)…..Your Highnesses.
Bill DeWitt, Jr. (bows along with Bill DeWitt III and John Mozeliak): Your Highnesses. Thank you for coming to share this special day with us. My name is Bill DeWitt, Jr. I’m the Chairman of the St. Louis Cardinals, LLC. I’d like to introduce my son Bill DeWitt III, the team President and our President of Baseball Operations Mr. John John Mozeliak.
Patrick: Your Highnesses. I hope the buffet is to your liking. We were striving for authentic American ballpark food.
HRH William, Prince of Wales: It’s quite all right, Admiral. I look forward to the experience.
Leslie: I’m sure the children will enjoy it as well, Your Highnesses.
HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales: Thank you, Mrs. Jennings. I’m sure it will be quite the treat for them.
Patrick: Well…..they can all…..as we like to say in the States…..dig in…..(Patrick, Leslie and the Waleses all then share a laugh)…..Your Highness. Fallon and Jeff Colby and Milton and Sandra Cox you met Friday night or rather met again Friday. We’d like to introduce our son and daughter-in-law Lieutenant Patrick Carrington Jennings, USNR and his wife Terry Hamilton Jennings.
Patrick, Jr. (bows): Your Highnesses.
Terry (curtseys): Your Highnesses.
HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales: Terry. I understand you’re a journalist and that you have interviewed Her Majesty Queen Camilla.
Terry: Yes I am, Your Highness and yes I have. If it’s all right, I’d very much love to interview the two of you and get your thoughts and impressions as well as those of the children of baseball.
HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales: I’d be delighted.
HRH William, Prince of Wales: As would I. I’ve always been a fan of sport, but I don’t see Eton introducing baseball anytime soon. I will say that my wife, my children and myself are looking forward to a rather enjoyable experience this evening.
Sable (comes over and curtseys): Your Highnesses. I’d like to introduce you to my escort Senor Roberto Salazar, Hijo. Senor Salazar is also one of the owners of the St. Louis Cardinals.
HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales (rather icily): Mrs. Colby.
HRH William, Prince of Wales: Senor Salazar. I am delighted to make your acquaintance.
(Bottom of the Second after The Cardinals were trailing 4-0. Jason Rostov reaches on an error to score Wilson Contreras )
Patrick (clapping his hands): WAY TO GO, JASON!!! WAY TO GET DOWN THE LINE!!!!
Milton (also clapping): WAY TO HUSTLE!!!
Patrick: That makes it 4-1……(to Bliss and Kolya)…..I like Jason. He give 110% every day.
Milton: He really hustles out there.
Bliss: Thank you very much, Patrick. Milton.
Kolya: You don’t think the cardinals are going to trade him, do you?
Patrick (shaking his head): Not if I have anything to say about it we won’t.
(Next batter Brendan Donovan singles to drive in Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker)
Patrick (clapping and shaking his fist): ATTA BABY, DONNIE!!! That makes it 4-3!!
Milton: We’re coming back. I can feel it!
Jeff: I like Brendan Donovan. He’s a good player. I hope he sticks around.
(Top of the Third. The Inning ends on a double play where Wilson Contreras tags out Ian Happ trying to score)
Patrick: WOW! What a sweet double play that was!! $100 to Cardinals Care!!
HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales: What does that mean?
Leslie: Cardinals care is the charity fundraising arm of the Cardinals’ organization. The money they raise goes to help inner city youth programs.
HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales: It’s nice to see people giving back to their community. Has your family been involved with the Cardinals long?
Fallon: Yes. My daddy Blake Carrington was an investor in the Cardinals in the early 1960’s. He then willed the team to Denver-Carrington before he died in 2010 and then Patrick and Milton Cox bought his shares about a year ago.
(Bottom of the Third. Jordan Walker singles to drive in Lars Nootbaar)
Patrick (shakes his fist): YES!!! WAY TO GO, J BOMB!!! NICE HUSTLE, NOOT!!!! That ties it up! Damn! We’ve come all the way back.
HRH William, Prince of Wales: You were right, Admiral. This is a rather spirited contest.
Patrick: Are you kids enjoying yourselves?
HRH Prince George: Yes we are, Admiral…..(looks at his father William)…..Thank you, Poachy.
HRH Princess Charlotte (also looks at her father): Yes. Thank you, Poachy.
Leslie: Poachy?
HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales: It’s a rather long story.
(Bottom of the Fourth. Jason Rostov Singles and steals Second. Brendan Donovan is hit by a pitch. Paul Goldschmidt Singles to drive in Rostov. Lars Nootbaar hit a Sacrifice Fly to score Donovan)
Bliss: YES…..JASON!!!!
Patrick: Hopefully, that gets us started.
Kolya: You aren’t going to trade him are you?
Patrick: I told you. Not if I have anything to say about it, we’re not.
Milton (clapping his hands after Rostov steals Second): All right! That gets us a man in scoring position.
Patrick (after Donovan gets hit by a pitch): Hate to see that, but we’ve got another runner out there…..(after Goldschmidt singles driving in Rostov)…..WAY TO GO, GOLDY!!!!! That gives us the lead…..(after Nootbaar sacrifices to drive in Donovan)…..NOOT!!! That’s now 6-4 us!!
(Bottom of the Fifth. Contreras Doubles. Nolan Gorman Singles to drive in Contreras)
Patrick: YES!!! WAY TO GO, WILLIE!!!…..(clapping his hands)…..ALL RIGHT, STORMIN’ GORMAN!!!! LET’S TRY TO PICK HIM UP!!!…..(Gorman Singles driving in Contreras)…..YES!!!! THAT’S 7-4 US!!!!!
(For their part, the Cardinals beat the Cubs in Game Two of the MLB London Series 7-5)
Eban Brummel (comes into the Cardinals’ Luxury suite): After yesterday, I guess that makes us even. Congratulations, Pat.
Patrick: Thanks, Eban. I thought you guys had us again. It was an outstanding game. You gave us a good fight.
(WEDNESDAY morning – GMT – June 28, 2023 – Cedric Parkhurst, Sr.’s office – Denver-Carrington – Europe Centre – One Canada Square – Canary Wharf Business District – London UK)
Cedric: Eban. It was a pleasure to meet you at London Stadium yesterday. Your boys played very well.
Eban: Thank you, Cedric. The pleasure is all mine. I know Denver-Carrington’s reputation for fair and square dealing. There’s no way in hell that I’m working with Alexis Colby!
Patrick: As I told you the other day, we have a bunch of Agri-business companies in Eastern Europe we are looking to prop up
Cedric: Our goal is to incubate these companies so that they will eventually revitalize the agricultural industry in Eastern Europe, especially, in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Leslie: What can Brummel Agricultural Enterprises offer us?
Eban: Well…..we do have some of the best soil scientists in the world. Many of them are graduates of the School of Agriculture and Applied Economics College of Food and Natural Resources of the University of Missouri.
Patrick: That’s one of THE best agricultural schools on the planet. I’m impressed. We’ve been working with some of their scientists in developing our bio-energy program.
Eban: We’re also developing a new strain of seed that’s able to take root a lot quicker and, thus, is able to withstand more severe weather conditions. We just need help with marketing our product. We also have the best in agricultural equipment.
Patrick: Brummel Agricultural has the capital and so do we. I think if we pool our resources, we can make this work. What do you guys think?
Cedric: My daughter Rosalind has become a marketing genius since she joined Denver-Carrington. I say yes.
Leslie: My vote is yes.
Patrick: Well, Eban. It looks as though we’ve come to terms. When we get back to the States, I’ll have Jay get with Ced’s people here and they’ll get with your people and we’ll get this thing in the hopper.
Eban: Thank you, Pat. Leslie. Cedric.
Leslie: Eban.
Cedric: Eban.
Patrick (shakes Eban’s hand): We look forward to our companies doing business together. We’ll be in touch. Oh, Eban. One more thing.
Eban: What’s that, Pat?
Patrick: I know Shannon Everett and my sister have talked turkey recently
Eban: They did and now Francine is looking to resurrect her fashion line with help from…..
Leslie: Don’t tell me…..Alexis Colby!
Cedric: My miserable old hag of a mother-in-law. That figures!
Patrick: That could be a war, but Shannon’s got a pretty valuable ally in my sister. PLus, they’ve got Magnus Lightwood-Bane on their side. Alexis may CLAIM to be an expert in haute couture, but Sammy Jo REALLY knows her way around the fashion world.
Eban: Thanks again, Pat.

Admiral Burke: Mister Jennings. Mister Cox. I’m glad you’re both here as well.
Patrick, Jr.: Thank you, Sir.
Milton: Thank you, Sir.
Admiral Burke: Leslie. Sandra.

Admiral Burke: Finally, Terry. I admire your abilities as a journalist. You did a wonderful as an embedded journalist in the Black Sea last year. But, please, continue to use good judgement whenever you write.
Terry: Thank you, Sir. I will.
Ed McCormick (comes into the office): Sorry. I’m late. Pat. Bob. I’ve got some news on that missing consignment of weapons and I don’t think you guys are going to like it. We think we have a lead on where they might have disappeared to.

Alexis (eating caviar on toast points): Oh come off it, Krystle: For the pasty forty or so years, I’ve put up with your incessant droning on about this, that or the other thing and I’m really quite tired of it.
Krystle: For the past forty years, you’ve had to put up with…..??? You’ve got your nerve!!! About forty years ago, you came barging back to Colorado and you’ve been a constant disruption to our lives ever since. You even tried to steal Blake from me on more than one occasion. Don’t bother trying to deny it!
To top it all off, you did the worst possible thing one human being could do to another. You murdered my unborn child…..(see Alexis looking stunned)…..Yes! That’s right! I said murdered!! What’s the matter, Alexis?? Did I strike a nerve??
Alexis: Oh come off it, Krystle. That was, as you said, forty years ago!
Krystle: I’m sorry, Alexis, but I can’t be as cavalier about this as you’re being! A miscarriage is something you don’t get over that easily. Being a mother yourself, you should know that. But, that’s not why I’m here. You tried to interfere in my daughter’s life when I was having surgery and now that interference has been extended to include my son and my grandchildren.
Alexis: Oh yes! Ben’s granddaughter Emily.
Krystle: How did you know who I was talking about, Alexis? I didn’t even mention her name. So, you can’t try to lie your way out of this one. I know what happened between you and my granddaughter yesterday. You tried to plant some crazy ideas in her head so that she’d leave Denver-Carrington and come to work for you. None of your grandchildren want anything to do with you or your company so you just had to steal one of mine!! I don’t know exactly what it is Patrick and Leslie have planned for you, but, whatever it is, I hope they succeed!!
Alexis: Would you please go away, Krystle??? I am exceedingly busy!
Krystle (with a fake smile): Oh! I do love Osetrova caviar, especially, with egg on toast points…..(takes the butter knife and spreads some caviar and egg on a toast point)…..Please, Alexis…..allow me…..(she then proceeds to smear the caviar in Alexis’ face)
Alexis: OH MY GOD!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU CRAZY COW???
Krystle: I think that look works for you, Alexis. Enjoy your breakfast. Don’t bother getting up. I’ll see myself out!…..(Krystle then turns and leaves)
(Monday morning – June 5, 2023 – Miranda’s outer office – Denver-Carrington Center – 1954 Blake Carrington Plaza – Denver, Colorado)
Miranda: Good morning and welcome to Denver-Carrington. how can I help you?
Josh Chetwynd: Yes. Good morning. I’m here to see Admiral Jennings.
Miranda: Yes. Both Admiral and Mrs. Jennings are here. May I tell them who’s here?
Josh: My name is Josh Chetwynd. I’m a baseball writer from the UK. I understand Admiral and Mrs., Jennings are going to be in London for the Cardinals/Cubs series.
Miranda: Yes they are. I’ll tell them you’re here…..(buzzes the inner office)…..Guys. A Mr. Josh Chetwynd is here to see you.
Patrick: Thanks, Miranda. Send him in.
Miranda: Yes, Patrick. You can go in now, Mr. Chetwynd.
Josh: Thank you.
(A FEW MINUTES LATER – Patrick and Leslie’s office)
Josh: Admiral Jennings. I’ve heard a lot about you. My name is Josh Chetwynd. I’m a writer for USA Today and I host the MLB on 5 TV show. I also do a weekly segment on Sky News Network Sports.
Patrick: I know who you are, Josh. Your reputation precedes you. I’m a fan of your work. I’ve read Baseball in Europe three times.
Josh: Thank you, Admiral. I appreciate the compliment.
Patrick: Just call me Pat. I’d like to introduce you to the President of Denver-Carrington and my wife Leslie.
Leslie: It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Chetwynd.
Josh: Please. Call me Josh.
Leslie: You guys want me to leave?
Patrick: No, Babe. That’s silly. You can stay.
Leslie: So what brings you to Denver…..Josh?
Josh: I understand the both of you are going to be in London for the Cardinals/Cubs series.
Leslie: Yes we are. We’ll be bringing a few other people with us, including Bliss and Kolya Rostov.
Josh: That’s right. Their son is filling in as the Centerfielder for the Cards, isn’t he?
Patrick: That he is. So what is it that you want to talk to us about, Josh?
Josh: Well…..you know that in conjunction with the MLB London series, the British Museum is hosting a special exhibition of rare baseball cards and I understand some of the cards they’ll be featuring are yours.
Patrick: That’s right. I got a call from the curator of the British Museum and I told him the cards would be delivered to the museum in time for the opening.
Leslie: Most of them are on loan to the baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY or the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. One of the few exceptions is that one over there……(she points to a frame containing a front and back Topps 1952 Mickey Mantle rookie card)
Josh: Wow! A 52 Mantle front AND back!
Patrick: These two mean a lot to me since my better half gave them to me for Christmas a few years ago. So, they’re staying right where they are. Now. This one…..I picked up at auction at Sotheby’s last year for four and one half million dollars!
Josh: WHOA! That’s a 1909-1911 Honus Wagner T-206!! That’s THE rarest card on the planet. YOU were the anonymous bidder???
Patrick: That’s right. But, this card IS making the trip. Here are some of the others that will be going over. A 1905 Ty Cobb rookie. A 1914 Babe Ruth. Plus…..Walter Johnson, Hal Chase, Tip O’Neill, Chris Von der Ahe, Cap Anson, Charlie Comiskey, Arlie Latham – stole 129 bases in 1887 – before Lou Brock was a twinkle in his mother’s eye, of a more recent vintage we have a 1967 Reggie Jackson rookie. These are all on loan from me by way of Cooperstown. We also have some outstanding specimens of Negro League cards. They’re on loan by way of the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. We have Cool Papa Bell, Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige. This Oscar Charleston here. This one’s worth almost one hundred thousand dollars! This one here? A 1916 Zee-Nut Candy Company Jimmy Claxton from the Oakland Oaks. We know what happened to him.
Leslie: What happened to him?
Josh: Well…..he wanted to play professional baseball so bad that he tried to pass himself off as a member of an Oklahoma tribe. He signed with the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League.
Patrick: He actually got into a couple of games didn’t he?
Josh: Yeah he did and then, of course, the Zee-Nut company put out the baseball card. Unfortunately, a friend let it slip that he had part African-American ancestry and he was fired.
Leslie: That’s awful.
Patrick: But, it still makes him the first player with African-American ancestry to play organized white baseball in the 20th Century,
Josh: That it does, Pat.
Patrick: Now. Are we sure that the cards will arrive in time for the opening?
Josh: I have some business with the Rockies this afternoon, so, I won’t be leaving Denver until tomorrow morning. I have a layover in New York and then the cards…..and I…..will be heading for London. I’ve already arranged the proper security. Once I get to London, the cards will be put in an armored car at Heathrow and driven to the British Museum.
Patrick: Outstanding. Thanks, Josh.
Josh: Anytime, Pat.
(MONDAY night – June 12, 2023 – Game Five of the NBA Finals – Denver-Carrington Luxury Suite – Ball Arena – 1000 Chopper Circle – Denver, Colorado)
Stan Kroenke: I’d like to welcome all you to the Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and our Denver Nuggets. At this time, I’d also like to welcome Pat Jennings and Milt Cox of Cox-Jennings Sporting Ventures LLC who have each purchased a five percent stake in the team.
Milton: Thank you, Stan. I’m looking forward to big things from the team tonight.
Patrick: Thank you, Stan. I’d like to introduce our wives Leslie Carrington Jennings and Sandra Cox.
Leslie: It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you.
Sandra: Same. Milton’s told me a lot about you.
Patrick: I ‘d also like to introduce Fallon and Jeff Colby as well as Steven Carrington and my sister Sammy Jo Reece-Carrington.
Stan: I’d like to introduce my wife Ann Walton Kroenke.
Ann: Sammy Jo. It’s an honor to meet you. I’ve seen you model and I am very impressed that you were able to get Christie Brinkley to model for you at your last show.
Sammy Jo: Thank you, Ann. That was mostly Magnus Lightwood-Bane’s doing.
Ann: You and he seem to have a very successful partnership. I read about in Vogue. As a matter of fact, I am wearing one of his creations right now. It’s one he altered himself on his own hands and knees.
Sammy Jo: I noticed. It’s gorgeous on you.
Ann: Thank you. Patrick. I was very happy to hear that your mother signed on as a design consultant for Wal Mart. I’d certainly like to hear any more ideas she may have.
Patrick: Thank you, Ann. My mom’s a smart lady. I think she brings a lot to the table.
Stan: Steven. Fallon. My wife, my family and I have always thought the world of your father. Blake Carrington was a good man and he certainly did a lot for this community.
Fallon: Thank you, Stan. Daddy always spoke very highly of you too.
Steven: Stan. We’re honored that you named the court after my father. Thank you.
Stan: It was the least we could do. Jeff. Your father was a big man in the sports community. I think Jason Colby was smart to keep his shares in the Mets after the Payson family sold to Nelson Doubleday in 1980. The Mets made some smart business decisions because of your father and they became a perennial contender in the 1980’s. It was because of your father that I decided to get into the sports and entertainment business.
Jeff: Thank you, Stan. I appreciate that and I think my father would as well.
Patrick: Ladies and Gentlemen! I have a good feeling that tonight’s the night! This is the night that the Nuggets clinch! Now. Before they go out tonight and make history. I’d like to introduce two of our stars who have decided to spend a few moments with us before the game. Ladies and gentlemen. Center Nikola Jokic and Forward Michael Porter, Jr.
Nikola Jokic: Thank you, Admiral. We will certainly do our best.
Michael Porter: Thank you, Mr. Kroenke, Admiral Jennings and Mr. Cox for believing in me. I won’t let you down.
Patrick: I know you shan’t, Mike. Guys! Get out there and kick some ass!
Stan: Thank you, Pat. Now we also have some past Nugget greats who have come to Denver to help share in the franchise’s first NBA Championship. I’d like to give the honor of the first introduction to Milton Cox.
Milton: Thank you, Stan. Our first guest, before he became a legend in Denver, was a member of the 1974 NCAA Champion North Carolina State Wolfpack. It’s my pleasure to introduce David Thompson.
Patrick: Our next guest. One of the all-time great point guards in Nugget history. David Thompson’s team mate here in Denver and at North Carolina State. Ladies and Gentlemen. Monte Towe!
Stan: Another ACC product who excelled on the court for the Nuggets. A four-time NBA All-Star and eight-time All Defensive Team selection. From the University of North Carolina. Bobby Jones.
Patrick: Our next guest excelled for the Nuggets as both a player and as a coach. From the University of Kentucky. “The Horse”. Dan Issel!

(TUESDAY night – June 13 – Downtown Denver)
Jamie King Torrance (walking with Chase to their car after Chase’s recording session at Titania Records): You were amazing tonight, Babe. I think your next album is going to be your best yet.
Chase Torrance: Thanks, Babe…..(slips his hand around Jamie’s waist)…..It’s really nice to be getting into singing and rodeo, especially singing, after everything that’s happened to us.
Jamie: Your sister and brother-in-law have been really nice about letting us stay with them, but, seriously, I think it’s time we started looking for a place of our own.
Trent McVane (comes over with Harper Perez and Duane Hardin): Well…well…well…..Chase Torrance and his husband Jamie King…..(a hearse is parked on a nearby street corner)
Chase: What are you doing here, Trent???
Jamie: Why do you always have to make trouble for us??? Why can’t you just leave us alone???
Harper Perez: Awwwww…..what the matter?…..(Harper Perez strokes Jamie’s face and Jamie swats his hand away)
Duane Hardin: If you both know what’s good for you, you’ll cooperate with us!
Harper Perez: So. Chase Torrance. Rodeo cowboy. Grammy Award winning Country singer. Every time we try to get rid of you always somehow manage to ruin things for us. Well…..this time, you might not get so lucky.
Duane Hardin: I come to find out you’re Steven Carrington’s nephew. I spent fifteen years in prison because of your uncle and his rotten family. Now, somebody’s got to pay for that! Thankfully, I’ve had a little plastic surgery, so, it’ll be a little harder to recognize me.
Jamie: What did we ever do to you?…..(he gives Chase a soft kiss on the lips)
Duane Hardin: If you know what’s good for you, you better shut your mouth right now!!…..(Jamie is then chloroformed and left to lie in the street)
Chase (sees Jamie chloroformed and lying in the street): YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!…..(he starts after Trent and is restrained by Duane Hardin)
Trent McVane: Chase Torrance. You know…..my grandfather has had nothing but trouble when it comes to your family. Because of your father Adam, who turned out not to be a Carrington at all, he died in prison!
Chase: He died in prison because he was a miserable scumbag! It was because of my grandmother that your grandfather chose the path he did. So, why don’t you take it up with her??
Trent McVane: Oh! Don’t worry, Chase I intend to take it up with your grandmother soon enough.
Chase: You know…..when Patrick Jennings tried to rescue me the first time around, he killed a couple of your goons. The only thing I regret is that he didn’t kill you!!
Trent McVane: Well…..somebody is going to pay for what your family did to my grandfather and that somebody might as well be you.
Chase (sees the hearse with a coffin inside of it): What the hell is going on around here???
Harper Perez: That’s not your concern right now. Right now, you’re concern better be whether or not you make it out of her alive!
Trent McVane: We need to make sure we got a lookout. Anybody sees us, the jigs up!
Harper Perez: I got that covered.
Duane Hardin: So, we suggest you be a good boy and cooperate with us…..(he comes up behind Chase and binds and gags him as Harper and Trent come closer. Chase is bent over the hood of the car- as Trent comes up behind chase and forces him to bend over as he and Dwayne take ropes and bind his wrists and elbows and synch them tightly together. They then take a lasso and round it tight over his torso synching that tight pinning his arms to his chest. Harper take another lasso rounds it around his waist once pinning his wrists to his back. And he rounds it down his legs synching it ever time. Chase takes a last rope throws the lasso at his booted ankles and pulls tight causing chase to fall. He then rushes in tied his booted ankles and insteps tightly together and continues roping, and tying all up and down chases body until chase can’t move. Harper, and Trent stand chase up. He is then thrown into the coffin)
Harper Perez: “Save a horse…..“…..(tightens the gag)…..”rope a cowboy”
Trent McVane: What about the the husband??? He’ll run squealing to the cops!!!
Duane Hardin: Don’t worry about him. When he wakes up, he won’t remember a thing.
Harper Perez: Good! By the time he wakes up, we’ll be long gone and he won’t know where we’ve taken Chase…..(Jamie is then picked up and shoved into the hearse, which then drives off to an unknown destination)
Duane Hardin (takes Chase’s cell and shoots a group text: JAMIE AND I ARE LEAVING TOWN. BYE…..he then throws Chase’s cell out the window and it smashes to bits)
(WEDNESDAY evening – June 21, 2023 – The Library of the Carrington mansion – 173 Wessex Drive – Golden, Colorado)
Emily (comes into the library followed by Jay): Mom? Dad? You guys got a minute?
Leslie: Of course, Sweetheart. We have as much time as you need.
Emily: I appreciate that, Mom.
Patrick: Em. You’re a valuable part of this organization, but more importantly, you’re our daughter and we love you. You know you can tell us anything…..(looks over at Jay)…..and that goes for you too.
Jay: Thanks, Boss.
Patrick: You know. You don’t have to call me Boss all the time. You can call me Patrick or Pat.
Jay: I know, but I’ve been calling you Boss since I started at Denver-Carrington and that’s what I’m comfortable with.
Patrick: Fair enough. Guys. This wouldn’t have anything to do with your recent conversation with Alexis, would it?
Emily: Yeah it does, Dad? How did you know?
Patrick: Because I know Alexis. She’s like a festering sore that just won’t go away!
Leslie: Well…..your grandma went to see her after you did and she came home at full boil afterwards.
Emily: Yeah! That’s Grandma all right!
Leslie: Alexis has been getting under this family’s skin for the past forty years. You guys both know this.
Emily: That’s what we want to talk to you guys about. You guys know she came into my office the other day and tried to fill my head with a bunch of crap!
Jay: She was making us both a bunch of offers to join her at Morell Enterprises, which would probably have turned out to be a bunch of empty promises anyway. Gerald Wilson has told me on numerous occasions how he used to work for Alexis AND Adam at Colbyco and how he couldn’t stand either one of them.
Emily: Not to mention she treated his and Allie’s grandfather, who was one of Cecil Colby’s oldest and most trusted confidantes, like complete and total shit!
Patrick: Yeah! I’ve heard something about that.
Jay: Listen, Boss. Boss Lady. We appreciate the offer for us to join you in London.
Emily: We know that Junior and Terry are going because you guys are going on to Naples afterwards.
Leslie: What are two saying?
Emily: What we’re saying, Mom, is that we’re more than happy to stay here in Colorado and run the office while you’re gone. Dad you’ve always said that a captain is as good as his or her crew.
Patrick: That’s right.
Jay: Well, Boss. You need your best crew members in the right places. So, we’re staying.
Leslie: You guys sure?
Emily: We’re sure.
Patrick: Listen. You’re BOTH valuable parts of this organization. Em. not only are you a Reece, but you’re also a Carrington and I love you…..(Patrick hugs his daughter)
Emily (hugs her father in return): I love you too, Dad and I know that you and Mom both appreciate us.
Leslie: Yes we do and we always will.
(FRIDAY night – GMT (London time) – June 23, 2023 – The British Museum – Great Russell Street – London, UK)
Hartwig Fischer: Admiral and Mrs. Jennings. My name is Hartwig Fischer and I am the Director of the British Museum.
Patrick: It’s nice to meet you.
Leslie: It’s a pleasure, Herr Fischer.
Herr Fischer: I know two of your American baseball teams are playing two games here in London this weekend. The Cardinals of St. Louis and the Cubs of Chicago. I have heard about the game. I have just never seen it up close.
Leslie: You’re welcome to join us in our luxury suite at London Stadium. We’d love to have you.
Patrick: One of your fellow countrymen will be playing for the Cardinals. Brendan Donovan. He’s from Wurzburg.
Herr Fischer: Very interesting, Admiral. Please explain to me this fascination with baseball cards. For years, I believed they were nothing more than just children’s toys.
Patrick: No. They’re quite a bit more than that. Some baseball cards that people have acquired over time can be quite valuable.
Herr Fischer: So I am seeing. I am quite impressed with the cards you have contributed to our exhibition.
Patrick: Thank you, Herr Fischer. I hope our contribution will make a difference.
Leslie (sees Eban Brummel and whispers to Patrick): Hun? Isn’t that Eban Brummel over there?
Patrick: Sure is.
Leslie: Herr Fischer. If you’ll excuse us.
Herr Fischer: Of course.
Patrick (rolls his eyes as he sees Alexis moving over towards Eban): Oh shit! Looks who swooping in for the kill!!
Leslie (shake her head): You’ve GOT to be kidding me!!
Alexis: Eban, Dahling. How lovely to see you. What brings you to London?
Eban (rolls his eyes): If you must know, I am here for the MLB London Series. I’m a part owner of the Chicago Cubs.
Alexis (shakes her head and rolls her eyes): Oh my God! Yes, of course…..Baseball!

As the family gathers at the mansion for their annual Memorial Day Celebration, which is interrupted by Alexis and Patrick and Leslie spoil her day by dropping a bomb on her.
Abby, one of the family dogs, gets the honor of the first official dip of the Summer in the family pool and then gives Alexis a “special” greeting.
Emily and Jay welcome Abigail and Gerald Stevenson the family celebration along with Abby’s brother Chase Torrance and his husband Jamie.
Nick Kimball’s uncle Moses comes to see Patrick and Leslie to talk about the bidding on the Powers and Koralis assets.
While they’re sleeping, Patrick and Leslie are interrupted in the middle of the night by a call from Ed McCormick who has some disturbing news for them.
Scene:Early THURSDAY morning – June 1, 2023 – Patrick and Leslie’s bedroom – The Carrington mansion – 173 Wessex Drive – Golden, Colorado/Ed McCormick’s Condo – Dolphin Run Condos – 303 Atlantic Avenue – Virginia Beach, Virginia…..
Leslie: Ed. What happened?
Ed: Well…..a major consignment of US and Italian made weapons were supposed to be delivered to the Klitschko brothers in Ukraine.
Patrick: Yeah. Those were the ones that were supposed to be delivered to the Ukrainian resistance Movement.
Ed: That’s right. Anyway. The plane that was supposed to deliver them took off from Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany yesterday morning.
Leslie: And they never got to where they were going? What happened?
Ed: The plane crashed somewhere near the Polish-Ukrainian frontier.
Patrick: Ed! You gotta shitting me!!
Ed: I wish I was, Pat. Listen. I’m going to be flying out of Norfolk International to Denver at first light. What time is it now?…..it’s…..(looks at his cell)…..two thirty in the morning my time. I’ll be at your office around 9:30-10:00 in the morning your time. I’ll tell you guys more about it when I see you.
Leslie: Thanks, Ed.
Ed: Not a problem, Kiddo. Ancient Mariner out.
Patrick: We’ll see you…..(looks at his cell)…..later on this morning, Ancient Mariner. Georgetown out.
Leslie (nuzzles up against Patrick as they both try to go back to sleep): What do you think, Hun?
Patrick: I don’t know, Babe, but we’re going to get to the bottom of this!…..(then kisses his wife)
Leslie (smiles as she returns her husband’s kiss): We always do…..(then relaxes in Patrick’s arms as they drift back to sleep)
(THRUSDAY morning – June 1, 2023 – Miranda’s outer office – Denver-Carrington Center – 1954 Blake Carrington Plaza – Denver, Colorado)
Miranda (sees her bosses getting off the elevator): Good morning, Leslie. Good morning, Patrick.
Leslie: Good morning, Miranda.
Patrick: Good morning, Miranda. Have we heard from Ed McCormick yet?
Miranda: Yes, Patrick. As a matter of fact, I have. His plane JUST landed and he’s heading over to baggage claim before he goes and picks up his rental car. Do you guys want me to call over to La Mirage and book him a room?
Leslie: No. Call ahead to the mansion and have George and Vivian prepare a room for him.
Miranda: I’m on it.
Patrick: Miranda. I need you to call around to Milt, Jeff, and the Kid. We need them all in our office by the time Ed gets here.
Miranda: Not a problem, Patrick.
(MEANWHILE – Emily’s office)
Alexis (comes walking into Emily’s office): Well…well…well…..Good morning, Mrs. Fallmont!
Emily (looks up from her desk): What the HELL are you doing in here???
Alexis: I saw some people heading up to your mother and father’s office for what looked like a very important meeting and I noticed that you were not among them.
Emily (sneers at Alexis): What’s it to you??
Alexis: Well…..it looks to be a meeting of high importance and one would think that for a meeting of such great magnitude, your mother and father would have included you. Do you happen to know what the meeting is about?
Emily: You are so off base, it’s not even funny and I do know what the meeting is about. It doesn’t pertain to me AND it doesn’t concern you!!
Alexis: Emily, dahling. Let me remind you of something. It seems that every time your mother and father go away on one of their little business trips, they always seem to leave poor little Emily and poor Jason behind.
Emily: Well…..for your information…..BITCH!! Jay and I went on the last two business trips that my parents took.
Alexis: I see.
Emily: Did it ever occur to you that maybe Jason and I VOLUNTEER to stay behind and run the office for them? Did it ALSO ever occur to you that my parents chose us to run things for them while they’re gone because they trust us??? What do you know about trust anyway, Lady?? Anybody who’s ever placed any trust in you, you’ve betrayed. What the hell do you want here anyway, you miserable old hag???
Alexis: I’m here to offer you a very extraordinary opportunity.
Emily: Oh! Come on, Alexis!! Don’t make me laugh!!!
Alexis: Emily. I’m serious. My grandson Jesse is taking over for me as CEO. I am prepared to make you President and Chief Financial Officer of Morell Enterprises, Incorporated and I am prepared to make your husband Chief Legal Counsel.
Emily: Seriously??? Don’t insult my intelligence!! The only reason you’re doing this is so that you can lord it over my parents!! Now quit trying to blow smoke up my ass!!
Alexis: I’m prepared to offer you half again what you’re making here at Denver-Carrington.
Emily: You’ve GOT to be shitting me!!! I wouldn’t work for you if you offered me three times what I’m making here. I DEFINITELY wouldn’t work for your turd grandson and his bitch girlfriend. The answer is no. Had I known what you wanted, the answer would have been no as soon as you walked in here!
Alexis: Well…..I see.
Emily: My parents love me. My parents value my opinion. PLUS…..my parents trust me! That trust means a lot to me as both an employee of Denver-Carrington AND as a Reece!!
Alexis: But your maiden name is Jennings, Dear.
Emily: That may be true ON PAPER, but in my heart of hearts, I am a Reece! Like my father, like my brother, like my children, like my aunts and, FINALLY, like my grandfather!! As a Reece, I won’t be baffled by your bullshit, so, you can take your offer and shove it straight up your ass!!! This is the same kind of shit you tried to pull on Jennifer, my mother AND on my Aunt Krystina, so, you can bet that my parents AND my grandmother are going to hear about this!!! Oh! One more thing! I’m also a Carrington…..AND DON’T YOU FORGET IT!!!!
Alexis: Oh yes, of course, but you’re Ben’s granddaughter not Blake’s. You’re making a big mistake, Dahling!
Emily: No! I’m not! The ONLY big mistake I made was not tossing your ass out the window as soon as you walked in here!! This conversation is over, Alexis…..GET OUT!!!!
Alexis: Emily. I’m asking you to…..
Emily: DAMN IT!!!!! I SAID GET OUT!!!!!…..(watches as Alexis turns and leaves)
(ABOUT AN HOUR LATER – Patrick and Leslie’s office)
Ed: I finally made it. The traffic on I-70 from the airport was murder.
Leslie: Well…..before we get down to business, Miranda called ahead to the mansion and had George and Vivian prepare a room for you.
Ed: You guys sure about this?
Patrick: You’ve gone above and beyond for us many times, Ed. This is the least we could do.
Jeff: Patrick said you had something important to talk to us about.
Patrick, Jr.: What is it?
Ed: Well, Junior as I was telling your parents on the phone last night, we have a problem. It involves a consignment of US and Italian made weapons.
Milton: I heard about that from SECDEF’s office. Is this the shipment that was supposed to go to Ukraine?
Ed: It sure is. Only the shipment never arrived.
Jeff: What???
Ed: The shipment was supposed to be flown from Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany yesterday morning to a pick up point at an abandoned airstrip in Poland near the Polish/Ukrainian frontier.
Patrick: That’s the same airstrip we used when we delivered that one consignment of weapons when we were conducting the tests of the new Ewing synthetic jet fuel.
Patrick, Jr.: Dad! What happened???
Leslie: It gets better. Go on, Ed.
Ed: Thanks, Kiddo. OK. The plane did take off from Ramstein, but it crashed just short of the airstrip in Poland. As a matter of fact, the plane was being fueled by the Ewings’ synthetic jet fuel. Here’s the latest satellite photo of the crash site, I got it from Langley just before before I left Norfolk.
Patrick: Jesus Christ!!
Ed: We’ve been over the crash site with a fine tooth comb. The weapons were never found.
Jeff: What happened??
Ed: From what we’ve been able to gather so far, the weapons were never loaded onto the plane.
Milton: So they never made it to their destination either.
Jeff: What about the pilot and the co-pilot??
Ed: The pilot and co-pilot were never found either, Jeff.
Patrick: Which means the sons of bitches probably ditched!
Ed: That is what conventional wisdom would dictate, Pat.
Milton: So it might have been an inside job.
Ed: That’s the direction things are pointing right now, Milt.
Patrick, Jr.: My dad has always taught us to play hunches and I am betting that those weapons were stolen.
Patrick: I agree with my boy here and I’ve got a pretty damn good idea who did it.
Milton: If you’re thinking who I think you’re thinking it is, then those weapons could be headed for Gabon or Equatorial Guinea.
Leslie: Or worse. Russia or China.
Ed: Yeah, Kiddo. There is that possibility.
Jeff: Patrick who are you thinking it is?
Patrick: I’m thinking it’s that son of a bitch Nigel Havensworth and I’d really like to put his ass in the meat grinder!!
Leslie: You don’t think he did it himself, do you?
Patrick: No, but I think he’s behind the whole thing!
Jeff: Do you think Alexis knows anything about it?
Patrick (takes a deep breath): I think it’s entirely possible, but I don’t think she knows everything this slimeball does, so, I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt…..for now!
Milton: I wouldn’t rule anything out.
Patrick: Oh! Believe me. I’m not going to! I’d still like to know where that son of a bitch is!
Jeff: Are you going to talk to Alexis about this?
Patrick: You bet your ass I am.
Jeff: And if she does know something about all this??
Patrick: Then her ass goes in the meat grinder too.
Patrick, Jr.: Dad. You know she’s just going to deny everything. That’s how Alexis operates.
Patrick (turns to his son): Yeah. She probably is, but if she knows something, we’ll find out about it……(turns to Ed)…..Ed. Have you looked into the possibility of Nigel Havensworth having anything to do with this?
Ed: Actually, Pat. Yeah. We have. We’ve got people posted at some of his favorite hangouts. He shows up, we’ll know it.
Patrick: God! To think…..Alexis asked me to go to Moscow and get him and bring him back to the States.
Ed: Which, if you had, that would have been…..
Patrick: Treason. Yeah I know. At the time, I didn’t really give a shit where he was, but now…..I kind of do,
Milton: What about a consignment of weapons? The Klitschko Brothers were counting on them.
Ed: I’ll get with SECDEF.
Patrick: I’ll get with Salvatore and our Italian friends. We’ll get a delivery made. It may not be on time, but we’ll get it through.
Patrick, Jr.: Dad are we going to report to COMUSSECFLT about this when we report for Weekend Warrior duty?
Patrick: After the games in London, we’ll be reporting about this to Bob Burke when we’re in Naples, but don’t worry, Kid. COMUSSECFLT will be getting a report as well……(turns to Ed)…..Ed. One more thing.
Ed: What’s that Pat?
Patrick: We’re going to need to keep this out of the press…..(turns to his son)…..and Kid. We need to make sure that Blondie is on board with this.
Patrick, Jr.: Don’t worry Dad. I’m sure whatever we need Terry to do, she’ll cooperate fully.
Patrick: That’s what I was hoping you’d say. No. Seriously. Kid. She’s true blue. I know she will.
Leslie: What about Alexis? You guys know if SHE gets a hold of this information, she could use it to her advantage and make us look bad.
Patrick: Exactly. With that in mind…..Lady…..and Gentlemen…..we’ve got our work cut out for us and we will get to the bottom of this. I swear to God!
(THAT NIGHT – the library of the Carrington mansion – 173 Wessex Drive – Golden, Colorado)
Emily (coming into the library with Terry, Lauren, Jessica, Allison and Jennifer): Thanks, guys. All of you for coming. At times like this, it’s nice to know that I have good friends like you guys to help me get shit off my chest.
Lauren: You know we’re here for you anytime, Cousin. That’s what friends are for.
Terry: You looked pretty stressed at dinner. Now come on, Sister-in-Law. What’s eating you?
Allison: L.B. said that this was one of his grandfather’s favorite rooms in the whole house because, as he put it, this is where all the serious shit went down.
Emily: Yeah. Blake used to tell my dad the same exact thing.
Allison: Come on, Em. What happened?
Emily: OK. I had a very interesting visitor in my office today and I’m sure you all can guess who it was.
Jennifer (rolls her eyes): Oh no! Don’t tell me…..
Terry: Let me guess…..Queen Beyotch!!
Emily: Yep. Queen Beyotch herself!
Jessica: What the hell did Granny Hoe Bag want??
Emily: Get this! She barged into my office today trying to tell me that she wanted me to come to work for her at Morell Enterprises as President and CFO.
Jennifer: Wait a minute! She probably promised you the moon too. That’s the same load of crap she tried to feed me! Then she stuck in the conditions. Nothing but a bunch of empty promises. That’s the Alexis Colby way.
Emily: I know, Jen. I pointed that out to her. Believe me.
Allison: Yeah and it would have been her behind the scenes pulling the marionette strings. You would have wielded no real power at all.
Emily: You got that right. Allie. She tried to tell me that my mom and dad don’t value my opinion or my place in the company as much as they do Patrick’s.
Lauren: That’s my grandmother and her constant meddling. That’s a crock of shit, Cuz and you know it. You’ve gone above and beyond for Denver-Carrington many times over and Uncle Pat and Aunt Leslie both know that.
Emily: I know they do.
Jessica: Come on, Em. You’re smarter than that. You know whenever your dad and mum are gone, it’s you and Jay and Miranda that keep that company running.
Emily: To top it all off, she also tried to tell me she was going to try and get Jay to come over to Morell Enterprises as Chief Legal Counsel.
Lauren: Yeah. Ger told me. He and Jay had a long talk earlier. Cuz. You know my grandmother. She’s been trying to get under your grandmother’s skin for the past forty years.
Terry: Yeah! Then, she tried to get under your father’s. Now…..she’s trying to get under yours. Her hatred of this family spans the generations.
Emily: That it does.
Lauren: She destroys everything she touches. My mom can barely stand the sight of her and my dad who’s like one of the nicest guys on the planet. Even he’s sick of her and her crap!
Jessica: Even Steven can barely stand the sight of her and we all know how Sammy Jo feels.
Jennifer: That’s for sure!
Allison: Em. You know she and Krystle are always going to be at each other’s throats.
Jennifer: They probably will til the day they die.
Emily: Guys. I told her no right off the bat. There’s no way in hell I’m going to work for her or that piece of shit grandson of hers.
Jessica: Not to mention that Hoe Bag Sheila of his!
Terry (laughing as she hears Jessica’s colorful Australian phrase): There she goes again!
Jennifer (hugs Emily): Your cousin’s right. We’re here for you anytime. Any place. Just name it.
Lauren: Have you told Uncle Pat, Aunt Leslie or your grandma about this??
Emily: Not yet, but I probably need to.
Lauren: You’ll feel a lot better when you do, but be warned. When you do, they’re probably going to hit ceiling.
Terry: Yeah! Especially Patrick.
Emily: I know they will and I hope they do and I hope they give Alexis the ass chewing of the century,
Jessica: I’d pay admission to see that.
Emily (hugs everybody else one by one): Thanks again, you guys. You’re the best friends I ever had.
Terry: Hey!! We’re the Denver-Carrington BFF’s Club!! NOBODY screws with us!!
Krystle (coming into Alexis’ office with a fake smile): Hello, Alexis!
Alexis (looks up from her desk): Oh my God, Krystle! If you’re just here to bleat on about something ad nauseum, then you can just come back another time because I’m exceedingly busy.
Krystle: I think you and I need to have a little talk, Alexis…..AND RIGHT NOW!!!

BASED ON DYNASTY PRODUCED BY AARON SPELLING PRODUCTIONS AND CREATED BY RICHARD AND ESTHER SHAPIRO.
Sable comes to Miles’ office in Denver and, after informing him and Monica that Denver-Carrington will not be in on the bidding for the assets of Koralis Shipping and remaining assets of Powers Shipping, she asks them to join her in submitting a bid package.
Sable also tells her children that Alexis will probably be actively involved in the bidding despite relinquishing her position as CEO of Morell Enterprises in favor of Jesse Colby.
Patrick and Leslie meet with Milton and Sandra Cox about the possibility of the Deveraux Group bidding on the Koralis and Powers assets and Milton and Sandra come to a decision.
Krystina, John Ross, Chip and Danny McCarty come to discuss not only their decision concerning the Koralis and Powers assets, but their chances at the upcoming Indianapolis 500.
Catherine Torrance hears that Chase will be attending the Memorial Day celebration at the mansion and asks Abigail and Gerald to join her in the bidding for the Koralis and Powers assets.
Patrick, Leslie, Patrick, Jr., Terry and the Coxes are joined for the first time by Fallon and Jeff as they continue the tradition of cooking breakfast for local veterans at the American Legion Post No. 1 in Denver.
The family Memorial Day celebration at the mansion is interrupted by the arrival of an unexpected and uninvited guest.
Scene: MONDAY afternoon – May 29, 2023 – MEMORIAL DAY – The Carrington mansion – 173 Wessex Drive – Golden, Colorado…..
Krystle: Alexis!! You were not invited here!! This party is for family only and you are NOT part of THIS family!!
Alexis: Well…..I hate to disillusion you, Krystle Dear, but some of your party guest are, in fact, part of MY family whether you like it or not and I can see quite clearly that you don’t.
Fallon: I’m sorry, Mother, but I don’t recall you being issued an invitation.
Alexis: Hello, Fallon dahling. I do hope that you at least forgive the social faux pas don’t mind if I stay.
Fallon: I don’t know why I should, Mother. After all, you’ve burned a lot of bridges with he over the years. As Krystle said, you were not invited.
Alexis (looks around at the burgers and hot dogs being cooked): Oh my God! What perfectly wretched food! There’s no way Blake would have stood for food like this
Steven: Actually, Mother. This was the way Dad wanted it when he started this tradition back in 1991.
Sammy Jo: You know, Alexis. I’m just sorry as all get out that it’s not champagne and caviar, but if you don’t like what we got here, you don’t have to eat it! Nobody invited you here.
Alexis: SHUT UP, BIMBO!!…..(looks and sees Patrick and Leslie)…..Well…well…well…..if it isn’t Popeye the Sailor Man and his slut.
Leslie: What the hell are you doing here, Alexis???
Alexis: Well, Company Whore. As I was about to tell your Holier Than Thou mother-in-law Krystle, I have heard that Denver-Carrington is not going to be bidding on the assets of Koralis Shipping and Powers Shipping.
Leslie: You heard right, Alexis.
Jeff: As much as I hate Spiro Koralis and hated Zach Powers for they tried to do to my family and to me, Colby Enterprises won’t be bidding either.
Alexis: I’ve also heard that Ewing Industries and the Deveraux Group will also not be bidding, which brings to why I came here today. I have some wonderful news for all of you.
Sammy Jo: Oh really, Alexis?? And what might that be?
Alexis: It’s really no concern of yours, Slut! But, if you must know, I have decided that Morell Enterprises will be submitting a bid on the former assets of Koralis Shipping and the remaining assets of Powers Shipping.
Leslie: Excuse me, Alexis, but you’ll be doing what???
Alexis: I believe you heard me, Dear. I said that Morell Enterprises will be submitting a bid for those shares.
Patrick (turns to Steven): You know, Steven. I can always change my mind and Denver-Carrington can bid on those shares.
Steven: No. You stick to your guns. You made that deal with Troxell Enterprises in good faith. You’re a man of your word, Patrick. Don’t let my mother goad you into going back on your word. You’re better than that.
Patrick: Thank you, Steven…..(turns to Alexis)…..Oh! You’re going to just love THIS little wrinkle!!
Alexis: I see. What…..wrinkle…..as you so quaintly put it…..is that, Admiral Jennings?
Patrick: Well…..since this bid process is NOT being conducted here in the United States, things are going to go a little bit differently.
Alexis: What???
Patrick: That’s right. There’s going to be NO preemptive bidding. The Greek government is not permitting it. You won’t be able to do anything until the RFP goes out. Sorry, Alexis. Them’s the brakes.
Leslie: So…..it looks like you’re going to have to hope for the best like everybody else.
Alexis: Oh well…..Once I win the bidding, it looks as though Denver-Carrington will be facing a little competition in the Mediterranean. Does the thought of a little competition from Alexis worry you…..Admiral Jennings?
Patrick: From you???…..Pfffft….Puh…lease!!
Leslie: Is Alexis going to keep referring to herself in the third person?
Patrick: You know what, Alexis?? You want to bid on those shares, then go ahead and bid. I don’t give a shit what you do. But, know this. You may have been able to pussy foot around with Blake and he didn’t use his full wrath on you because you and he shared three children, but you don’t have that luxury with me.
Leslie: It’ll be interesting to see who decides to get in on the bidding besides you, Alexis. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Sable or maybe even Catherine Torrance decided to get in on it.
Alexis (with a worried look on her face): Oh my God!
(Everybody watches as Abby [Patrick’s female Chocolate Lab] comes over near Alexis after getting out of the pool)
Alexis (trying to shield herself as Abby shakes off on her): HELP!!! OH MY GOD!!! STOP IT, YOU FILTHY, DISGUSTING MONGREL!!!!
Patrick (smiles as he whispers softly): Good girl.
(Everybody laughs in response)
Leslie: She’s not a Mongrel, Alexis. She’s a purebred Chocolate Lab with AKC papers as long as your arm!
Patrick (seeing Alexis trying to kick Abby, rushes over and yanks her arm): OH NO YOU DON’T!!! YOU’RE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THAT SHIT!!! YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE…..RIGHT NOW!!!!…..(gives Alexis a shove and watches as she goes away mad)
Emily (with Jay sees Abby, Gerald, Chase and Jamie): Hey, you guys! We’re really glad you decided to come.
Gerald Stevenson: We weren’t missing this for the world.
Abby Stevenson: I know my father pulled a lot of sneaky underhanded shit on this family for a lot of years, especially on Blake.
Jay: That’s what happens when you have you head so far up Alexis’ ass that if she were to come to a sudden stop, all anybody would see of Adam would be his feet.
Gerald: That little worm Jesse is no better. Just another ubiquitous yes man for Alexis to control.
Abby Stevenson: And that bitch girlfriend of his. I heard a while back she was ripping off some of your Aunt Sammy Jo’s designs. By all rights, she should have been sent to jail.
Emily: Tell me about it. Like my dad always says. Yet another in the long parade of Alexis Colby ass kissers…..(Jay,Abbyand Geraldsnicker inresponse)
Abby Stevenson: Em. I want to thank you and Jay again for offering to be little Gerald’s Godparents at his Baptism on Christmas.
Emily: It’s our pleasure, Abby. Despite what an asshole your father was and despite how Alexis perceived how we treated him, you and Chase offered the hand of friendship no questions asked and we really appreciate that. It’s the least we could do.
Gerald: The Cardinal is still going to baptize him…..correct?
Jay: Yeah. Absolutely. He’s only too glad to it.
Gerald: Good. I like Cardinal McGrath. He’s good man.
Jaime Torrance: Emily. I can’t thank you grandmother enough for opening up her home to Chase and me for our wedding and our reception
Emily: It’s OK, guys. You know my grandma has a really good heart. In spite of all the crap Adam pulled, we still think of you guys as family.
Chase: But we’re not your biological family.
Emily: That doesn’t matter. There’s more to being a family than bloodlines. Blake knew that and so does my grandma.
Chase: I really appreciate that, Emily and I like your mother and father very much. I still can’t believe that my grandmother almost got me killed.
Jay: Oh yeah. You’re talking about that little incident in New Mexico just before Thanksgiving.
Chase: That’s right. That was a really brave thing that Patrick did. Sticking his neck out like that.
Jay: Yeah. He’s a professional. He knows what he’s doing. Alexis would have just found a way to screw it up. By the way, Chase. I heard you’re going back into the studio next week.
Chase: Yeah. I’m doing some sessions for Jackie Deveraux-Hastings at Titania Records.
Jay: That’s awesome, Man.
Jamie: He invited me along to watch.
Chase: By the way. Where are L.B. and Danny?
Jay: L.B. and Danny and their better halves should be back from Indianapolis sometime tonight. Max and Jennifer went with them. Their cars did pretty well at the Indy 500 yesterday. Bruno Averetti’s car had a manifold problem and lost a few laps early on, but they still managed to get back into the race and finished Third. Rory Millweaver’s car stayed pretty consistent and finished Tenth.
Jamie: Wow! That’s awesome! I like auto racing a lot. I’d like to see a race sometime.
Jay: We’ll see what we can arrange.
Jamie: Thanks, Jay.
(TUESDAY morning – May 30, 2023 – Miranda’s outer office – Denver-Carrington Center – 1954 Blake Carrington Plaza – Denver, Colorado)
Miranda (sees Moses Kimball getting off the elevator): Good morning, Mr. Kimball. Welcome to Denver-Carrington. What can I do for you?
Moses: Good morning, Miranda. Are your bosses in yet this morning?
Miranda: Yes, Sir, I’ll tell them you’re here.
Moses: Thank you.
Miranda (buzzes the inner office): Guys. Moses Kimball is here.
Leslie: Thanks, Miranda. Send him in.
Miranda: Yes, Leslie. Just go on back, Mr. Kimball. They’re expecting you.
Moses: Thank you…..(then heads into Patrick and Leslie’s office)
(A FEW MINUTES LATER – Patrick and Leslie’s office)
Patrick: Moses! It’s been a long time.
Leslie: What can we do for you?
Moses: I saw your press conference the other day.
Patrick: Well…..I wouldn’t exactly call it a press conference. We just issued a statement concerning our position on the Koralis and Powers shares. Pure and simple.
Moses: I just wanted to thank you for standing by the deal we made with each other. Patrick. You are truly a man of your word.
Patrick: Thank you, Moses. I appreciate that.
Leslie: Moses. We just wanted to do what we thought was right. Patrick said he didn’t want Uncle Blake’s company to be saddled with Zach and Spiro’s old baggage. Besides. With all the negative publicity with Zach Powers trying to double cross my uncle AND Jason Colby, plus, that scumbag Michael Culhane being involved, all that made those shares become almost totally worthless.
Patrick: From what Jeff told me, Zach Powers’ father committed suicide and he blames that suicide on Andrew Colby allegedly destroying his father in business and he had a grudge against Jason Colby until his dying day even though Jason did die about a year before he did.
Moses: I’ve heard that story many times before, Patrick and it is patently untrue. Milos Zacharias, Sr. was a liar and a thief. He squandered his family’s fortune gambling and he was so ashamed over what he had done that he couldn’t bear the fact that his wife and children might eventually find out the truth, so, he killed himself.
Leslie: Yeah. Jeff said as much.
Patrick: There’s one more thing, Moses. The waters of the Med are going get a lot rougher. I do mean that figuratively NOT literally. The Russians are assembling a Mediterranean Death Fleet as we speak. That’s the bad news.
Leslie: The good news is the Russians’ newest ship, the carrier Admiral Kuznetsov is drydocked for an indefinite period and she is STILL encountering a laundry list of problems.
Moses: Well…..I talked to Darryl the other day and he told me that we were running background checks on all of our civilian Masters and he found out that a lot of them had actually spent time in the Navy and the Coast Guard.
Patrick: That means they’re better equipped to handle themselves in high pressure situations of an international nature.
Leslie: So…..you’ll put the right Master in the right situation.
Patrick: That’s right, Babe. I’m just asking, Moses and I really don’t mind if you do, but is Troxell Enterprises getting in on the bidding for those Koralis and Powers shares?
Leslie: You know we’re not and now neither are Ewing Industries and the Deveraux Group.
Moses: I spoke to Nicholas the other day. He’s in Chicago again.
Patrick (with a smile as he nods his head): Of course.
Moses: He told me that you had talked to Milton and Sandra. As for what we intend to do, we haven’t made a decision yet.
Patrick: I respect that, Moses. Whatever decision you make is yours and yours alone and we will abide by it.
Leslie: We’ve spoken to Ewing Industries and the Deveraux Group and they have assured us that they will do the same.
Moses: Good. I’m glad to hear that. Do either of you have any idea who is getting in on the bidding?
Leslie: Well…..we’ve heard rumors that Alexis and Sable as well as Catherine Torrance are going to get in on it. As for any others, we don’t know. At this point, it’s all just speculation.
Patrick: I don’t know if you heard, but the Greek government and the European Commission are doing things a little differently. There’s going to be no preemptive bidding. Everybody who submits a bid is just going to have to wait for the RFP to go out and then hope for the best. I know Alexis and Sable have had some experience in the maritime logistics industry, but, personally, I don’t think Catherine Torrance would know a Group III merchant from a rowboat.
Moses: I want to thank you for seeing me and I appreciate everything you both had to say and I want to thank you both for keeping me posted. As for our decision, we will let you know what we decide.
Leslie; Thank you, Moses.
(Early THURSDAY morning – June 1, 2023 – Patrick and Leslie’s bedroom – The Carrington mansion – 173 Wessex Drive – Golden, Colorado/Ed McCormick’s Condo – Dolphin Run Condos – 303 Atlantic Avenue – Virginia Beach, Virginia)
Patrick (hears his cell ringing and taps Leslie on the shoulder): Babe? Could you get that for me?
Leslie (as she rubs the sleep out of her eyes): Hello?
Ed McCormick: Hey, Kiddo. It’s Ed. Sorry I had to wake you guys up.
Leslie (hands Patrick his cell): Hun. It’s Ed.
Patrick (takes his cell from Leslie and kisses her): Thanks, Babe…..(rubs the sleep out of his eyes)…..hang on, Ed. I’ll put you on speaker. OK. Shoot.
Ed: You guys know that shipment of weapons the Ukrainians were supposed to get from us?
Patrick: Yeah. I heard something from SECDEF about that. Why?
Ed: Well…..brace for squalls, Pat. We’ve got a problem.
Patrick: What???

Patrick finds out that the contact in Brazil from whom Terry learned of Peter DeVilbis’ death was actually a contact of his.
Lauren and Terry decide that the story about DeVilbis’ death will run in the Monday May 15th edition of the Denver Chronicle.
The State Police of Rio officially list natural causes as the cause of DeVilbis’ death, Terry and Lauren are waiting for the results of the toxicology report to come back.
Patrick suggests that Peter DeVilbis’ widow Nicole Simpson might be a source of information as to what really happened when Fallon was suffering from amnesia.
Krystle has a heart to heart talk with Patrick and Leslie about changes she has noticed in Fallon’s attitude.
Krystle then tells the story of how she saw King Galen alive after the 1985 coup in Moldavia and blames herself for Alexis hatching the plot to rescue him.
Trent McVane and Harper Perez meet in Jesse Colby’s hotel suite to plan another kidnapping of Chase Torrance and they realize that their plans are pushed back because of DeVilbis’ death.
Denver-Carrington issues a statement to the press announcing that they will not be bidding the Koralis and Powers assets.
Alexis tells Jesse she has announced to the press that he is now CEO of Morell Enterprises and she congratulates Alex Rubio for her work on Fashion Fury’s latest creations.
Monica Colby comes to Miles office and she is soon followed by Sable who has some news.
Scene: Friday morning – May 19, 2023 – Miles Colby’s office – Colby/Dexter International – Denver-Carrington Center – 1954 Blake Carrington Plaza – Denver, Colorado…..
Monica: Yes, Mother. As a matter of fact, we did.
Sable: It looks as though Denver-Carrington isn’t going to be bidding on the assets of Spiro Koralis and Zach’s old companies. Now isn’t that delicious? I guess Patrick Jennings just didn’t have the stomach for it.
Monica: I wouldn’t go reading anything into it, Mother.
Miles: I’ve known Pat Jennings for a lot of years, Mother. I’ve worked with him before. He’s very resourceful. There’s not much he DOESN’T have the stomach for.
Monica: The headline even says he didn’t want to be saddled with Zach and Spiro’s baggage and, for that, I don’t blame him!
Miles: Besides that, he didn’t want to go back on Denver-Carrington’s deal with Troxell Enterprises. That deal was made in good faith. One thing I have ALWAYS known Pat Jennings to be is a man of his word.
Sable: Of course, now my cousin Alexis has decided to enter the fray. Thankfully, she is turning the CEO’s position at Morell Enterprises to her grandson Jesse. However, If I know Alexis like I think I know Alexis, she will be very involved in the bidding for Spiro and Zach’s assets, meddling every step of the way.
Monica: Wait a minute! Jesse Colby. Her grandson. He’s Adam’s son isn’t he?
Miles: That’s right he is.
Sable: As you know, dahlings! I lost quite a bit of money after what Alexis did to me regarding that mess with Pavilion Resorts.
Monica: Mother are you saying you don’t have enough money to submit a bid package on your own?
Sable: Oh no no no, dahlings! I’m not saying that at all.
Miles: Well then, Mother. What is it that you’re driving at?
Sable: What I am saying is that I would like to have one or more partners in the bidding for Zach and Spiro’s assets. We could work together. Like we should have when your father was still alive.
Monica: You GOT to be kidding me!!
Miles: Absolutely not!
Sable: So. You’re both refusing then! Dahlings. We could join forces. We could beat Patrick Jennings and Denver-Carrington.
Monica: You tried to beat him once before, Mother and look where it got you.
Miles: I told you, Mother. He’s too resourceful and very well connected,
Sable: More importantly, dahlings. If were to win the bidding for those assets, we could put Alexis out of business once and for all.
Monica: Mother, I really don’t care about your little war with Alexis.
Miles: I’m sorry, Mother, but this conversation is over. The answer is still no!
Sable (as she’s leaving): Oh, Alexis! I swore one day I would have my revenge after you tried to take me company from me. Don’t worry, Dearie. When you least expect, I will take you for everything you’ve got!
(MONDAY morning – May 22, 2023 – Sandra Cox’s office – The Deveraux Group, LLC. – Deveraux Centre – 1801 California Street – Denver, Colorado)
Sandra: So you guys are absolutely sure about this?
Leslie: We are 100% sure about this.
Patrick: That’s right. Denver-Carrington is not bidding on the assets of Koralis Shipping nor are we bidding on the remaining shares of Powers Shipping that are still out there.
Milton: Now. You do intend to keep the Ewings up to speed on this, do you not?
Leslie: Of course we do. They are free to bid on those assets iF they wish. We’re not going to stand in their way.
Patrick: Besides. We still own those double acting cargo ships in the Arctic and there’s no way in hell we’re letting those get away.
Leslie: With all due respect to Moses Kimball and Troxell Enterprises, we fought tooth and nail to get a hold of those Arctic plays.
Sandra: Are there any other reasons you decided to go in this particular direction?
Patrick: Yeah! There’s one very import reason. Most of the Powers and Koralis tankers are still registered under the Liberian flag.
Milton: Liberia being one of the largest country of registration for merchant shipping on Earth.
Patrick: Correct!
Sandra: Liberia also happens to have one of THE most atrocious human rights records on the planet.
Patrick: Also correct!
Leslie: The Deveraux Group is also free to bid on those assets if they wish. We’re not going to stand in your way either.
Patrick: I’d also like to point out that Zach Powers also registered some of his tankers under the Libyan flag.
Milton: Why am I not surprised??
Leslie: I really don’t think the Ewings are going to want to be saddled with that type of baggage either.
Sandra: No matter, we’re not going to bid on those assets either. We’re going to stand with you.
Milton (chuckles): We have a reputation to uphold too you know.
Sandra: Do you really think the Ewings will follow our lead?
Patrick: Ever since the Ewings reacquired the assets of the old Ewing Oil in 2015, I guarantee it.
Milton: What about Troxell Enterprises?
Leslie: We won’t stand in their way either.
(TUESDAY morning May 23, 2023 – Ewing Industries office – Denver-Carrington Center – 1954 Blake Carrington Plaza – Denver, Colorado)
Krystina: We wanted to come early and help out with the big Memorial Day celebration. I know Bobby and Ann are going to be in Indianapolis with Christopher and Tiffany.
Leslie: Yeah. Danny and Jessica are going to be there too. Max and Jennifer are going with them.
Chip: I heard Ewing/Carrington/Millweaver Racing has two cars on the starting grid.
Patrick: That’s right. Bruno is in the number one car and he’s starting on the front row again and Rory Millweaver is staring in the 10th position.
John Ross: So we got two cars starting in the top ten. That’s not bad.
Patrick: Nope! Despite the fact that I could STILL strangle Rory Millweaver after the shit he pulled last year at Shiloh. Not only did we get fined, but it cost Bruno Averetti the individual Indy Car Championship and we ALMOST lost the manufactures’ title.
Danny McCarty: How are we doing this year, Pat?
Patrick: We’re well in the lead in for the Individual Driver Championship and Josef Newgarden is in Second. Bruno finishes 32nd or better, he maintains his lead. We were leading the Manufacturers’ Standings as of right now. Penske’s in Second and Rahall-Letterman is in Third.
Chip: Not bad. I gotta hand it to Christopher and Danny. They’re doing real good.
Patrick: There’s also the matter of Rory Millweaver. His parts are a big part of the team’s success.
John Ross: That they are.
Danny McCarty: So let’s get down to it, Pat. Denver-Carrington is NOT bidding on the shares of Koralis and Powers Shipping?
Patrick: Nope!
John Ross: Now what about our double acting Arctic cargo ships?? We worked hard to make that play!
Patrick: Nothing’s changing there either. I’ve told you time and time again. We’re holding on to our Arctic Cargo Fleet. We’ve checked the International Merchant Ship Registry. Of all the ships that were once owned by Powers or Koralis, NONE operated in the Arctic.
Chip: So that’s one we have over anybody who might be bidding on those ships.
John Ross: What about our bottom line?
Chip: I’ve checked with Michelle Jeffries in Little Rock. If we don’t bid on those ships, it’s not going to hurt us either.
Krystina: You sure, Chip?
Chip: I’m sure. What about the Deveraux Group?
Leslie: We just met with Milton and Sandra Cox yesterday. The Deveraux Group is not bidding on those ships either. We have their reassurance.
Krystina: What about Troxell Enterprises?
Patrick: If they want to bid that’s their business. We made a deal with them and we’re not going back on our word. We also have the long haul trucking contract with them. Troxell has never steered us wrong and I don’t think they’re going to start now.
Krystina: Oh God! I just had an awful thought!
Leslie: What was it?
Krystina: There’s nothing to stop Alexis or Sable from bidding. Not to mention Catherine Torrance.
Patrick: Let ’em. With any luck, they’ll end up destroying each other like they tried to in 1989. As for Catherine Torrance, she wouldn’t know a Group 3 merchant from a rowboat.
Chip: You sure about this, Brother-in-Law?
Leslie: Chip. You have our word.
Chip: Well…..all right then. We’re going with you on this one.
Patrick: We’ve never steered you wrong either.
John Ross: Nope! Ya haven’t. Looks like we’ve come to terms.
Krystina: We need to talk about that Coral Sea oil.
Leslie: Don’t worry. We will be bringing into your Knots Landing refinery. We plan to get with Miles about this as well.
(FRIDAY morning – May 26, 2023 – the Law Offices of Stevenson & Stevenson PLC – Denver-Carrington Center – 1954 Blake Carrington Plaza – Denver, Colorado)
Catherine Torrance: Abigail. Gerald. Such a lovely morning! I’ve heard that Chase and Jamie are going to be in town and they’re going to be going to the Memorial Day party at the mansion.
Abby: So are we, Mom!
Gerald: They said we could bring you, but only on the condition that you behave yourself.
Catherine: I see. I don’t suppose you’ve heard the news about Denver-Carrington and Alexis.
Abby: We saw the Denver Chronicle and The Wall Street Journal.
Gerald: What does that have to do with us?
Catherine: I’m glad you asked. I’m sure you know that with Denver-Carrington not bidding, Alexis and/or Sable probably will. Now, Abigail. We come to find out that your grandmother Alexis has named her grandson, your half brother, Jesse to be her successor at Morell Enterprises.
Gerald: So what??
Catherine: So…..maybe…..you and Jesse can pursue some business opportunities together now that he’s succeeding Granny Alexis at Morell Enterprises.
Abby: Forget it!! I detest the way Jesse does business. Just the same as I detest the way Alexis does business. I’m not too crazy about his floozy girlfriend Alex Rubio either.
Gerald: I’ll ask again, Catherine! What’s that got to do with us??
Catherine: Well…..I guess Denver-Carrington just didn’t have the stomach to go up against anybody. Not just Alexis and Sable, but what if companies like the Deveraux Group, Ewing Industries and Westar enter the bidding?
Gerald (shaking his head): I really don’t think that’s it, Catherine. I’m sure Pat Jennings knows what he’s doing.
Abby: Mom what are you…..wait a minute! You said Westar. You own 17.5% of Westar common and preferred stock!!!
Catherine: That’s right, darling. But, I want the two of you to join me in submitting a bid and could you maybe ask Chase to come in with us?
Gerald: What???
Abby: Absolutely not! We’re not getting involved in your little war with Alexis and Sable. As for Chase, that’s DEFINITELY not happening!! Besides. We’ve been over a thousand times. Chase wants NO part of the business. He’s happy doing his singing and his rodeo career. PLEASE!! Leave Chase alone!!!
Catherine: Abigail. Gerald. Please.
Abby: MOM!!! What did I JUST get through telling you???
Gerald: I’m sorry, Catherine, but the answer is NO and that’s final!!
(MONDAY morning – May 29, 2023 – MEMORIAL DAY – American Legion Post No. 1 – 5400 E. Yale Ave. – Denver, Colorado)
Terry (working the dining area): Fallon! We’re getting low on coffee out here!
Fallon: I got another pot going right now, Terry.
Patrick (wearing BDU’s and turns his head as he fries eggs): How’s that bacon coming, Milt?
Milton (wearing BDU’s as he cooks): Should have some ready to come off in just a minute
Patrick (rings the bell on the counter with his spatula – DING!): Babe! Order up!!!
Leslie (taking the order of bacon and eggs from Patrick): Jeff! We need three orders of scrambled eggs for table 6!
Jeff: Coming up! Patrick. I want to thank you for talking Fallon and I into doing this.
Patrick: No. Thank you for helping us.
Patrick, Jr (also wearing BDU’s as he serves): Uncle Jeff. We need another three orders of scrambled eggs for Table 5.
Jeff: Not a problem. Patrick. it was our pleasure. You said Blake used to do this from time to time?
Fallon: That’s right he did and Jeff and are glad to be helping you guys out this morning. I actually remember coming here with him a few times when I was a little girl. This was also his way of giving back to the veterans.
Patrick: It’s also a nice place for the homeless veterans to come in and get a hot meal.
Sandra (leaning over the counter) Fallon! Need a pitcher of Orange Juice for Table 4.
Fallon: Coming up!
Jeff (hands a tray of scrambled eggs to Patrick, Jr.): Order of scrambled up!
Patrick, Jr. (takes the tray): Thanks, Uncle Jeff!
(MEMORIAL DAY afternoon – The Carrington mansion – 173 Wessex Drive – Golden, Colorado)
Krystle: Once again, I’d like to welcome everyone. Friends and family alike to our annual Memorial Day celebration. On this day, we remember those that gave their lives in service to their country. With that in mind, I’d like Cardinal Timothy Brendan McGrath Archbishop of Denver to lead us in prayer.
Tim: Everybody bow your heads.
Let us pray.
God of power and mercy, you destroy war and put down earthly pride. Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears, that we may all deserve to be called your sons and daughters. Keep in your mercy those men and women who have died in the cause of freedom and bring them safely into your kingdom of justice and peace. We ask this though your Son and our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit. One God forever and ever. Amen.
Everybody else (making the Sign of the Cross in unison): In the name of the father and the Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Patrick: As you all know, Memorial Day also marks the unofficial start of Summer and, in what has become a time honored tradition, today also marks the official opening of the mansion pool…..(bounces a tennis ball)…..and with the opening of the pool comes the first dip of the Summer…..(bounces a tennis ball again)…..Once again, it is my pleasure to give the honor of the first dip to…..Abigail Adams of Carrington Manor…..(bounces a tennis ball for the third time and throws it into the mansion pool for Abby to fetch)…..Good girl!
Alexis (comes walking in unannounced and uninvited): Well…well…well…..do forgive the social faux pas, but I hope I’m not interrupting this lovely party.

Patrick and Leslie come back into the office after getting back from London and Miranda informs them that Terry is in their office.
Terry tells Patrick and Leslie that she got an as yet unconfirmed report from a contact in Brazil that Peter DeVilbis was found dead in the Vila Mimosa red light district of Rio de Janeiro.
Emily and Jay come into Patrick and Leslie’s office and show them the headline from The Wall Street Journal about Koralis Shipping being up for auction along with the remaining assets of Powers Shipping.
Patrick informs Leslie, Emily and Jay that Denver-Carrington will not be among the companies bidding for the soon to be auctioned assets.
Alexis sees the Wall Street Journal headline and expresses an interest in bidding on the Koralis and Powers assets and she asks her grandson Jesse to take the lead on putting together the bid package.
Patrick and Leslie try to talk to Fallon and Jeff about what happened between Fallon and Peter DeVilbis, especially when she was suffering from amnesia.
Sable gets a call from her assistant and she too decides that she is interested in bidding on the Koralis and Powers assets.
Terry and Lauren come into Patrick and Leslie’s office and are about to reveal that they have further news concerning the fate of Peter DeVilbis.
Scene: FRIDAY morning – May 12, 2023 – Patrick and Leslie’s office – Denver-Carrington Center – 1954 Blake Carrington Plaza – Denver, Colorado…..
Leslie: All right, Girls. What sort of information do you have?
Lauren: Well…..we got confirmation from one of Terry’s contacts in Brazil. Peter DeVilbis is, in fact, dead.
Patrick: Are you ladies sure about this? Remember. He duped us once before.
Lauren: We’re sure, Uncle Pat.
Patrick: So, Blondie. Who is this contact of yours?
Terry: Actually, Patrick. He’s a contact of yours.
Patrick: Say again?
Lauren: That’s right, Uncle Pat. Terry got in touch with your business associate Joao Silva.
Terry: When I told him I was your daughter-in-law, he was only too glad to help.
Patrick: I gotta hand it to you, Blondie. You do have knack for ferreting out stories.
Terry: Thanks…..Father-in-Law.
Leslie: So how did Joao lead you to lead DeVilbis’ corpse?
Lauren: It turns out that Peter DeVilbis had some dental work done in Rio in the mid 1980’s. The dentist’s name was Dr. Frederico Lopes.
Terry: Turns out he was also Joao Silva’s dentist.
Leslie: That’s a strange coincidence.
Terry: I know, Leslie. It also helped that the cops at the scene found DeVilbis’ wallet on the floor of the room he was holed up in.
Patrick: That figures!
Lauren: Anyway. Joao Silva went to see Dr. Lopes and he asked him about DeVilbis and then the doctor showed him DeVilbis’ dental records.
Terry: Apparently, he had an impacted wisdom tooth and a root canal done. DeVilbis’ body was then taken to the forensics lab of the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro State.
Lauren: After examination of his body, the records from Dr. Lopes were found to be a match.
Leslie: Did they give a cause of death?
Lauren: Yes, Aunt Leslie. They listed his cause of death as natural causes…..for now.
Patrick: For now? We all know, for years, that he abused his body with drugs.
Terry: Yeah. We’re waiting on the results of the toxicology report. No drug paraphernalia was found in the room.
Leslie: So basically, his body could could have said it had enough and just decided to quit on him.
Terry: Pretty much, Leslie. Yeah.
Patrick: You ladies did a really good job with this. Your investigative work? Par Excellence!
Lauren: Thanks, Uncle Pat.
Terry: We still want to be sure that the police don’t get this one wrong like the Denver Police did with Adam.
Patrick: Yeah, but one thing they did get right was the fact that that asshole was trying to pass himself off as a Carrington when, in fact, he wasn’t.
Leslie: Hun. He didn’t actually know he wasn’t a Carrington.
Patrick: This is true,
Lauren: Not that it matters, but Grandpa cut him off anyway.
Patrick: Also true.
Lauren: My mom and dad said you guys talked to them the other night.
Patrick: Yeah, Sweetie we did.
Terry: Do we run the story?
Leslie: Yes we do. Fallon and Jeff want it to run. It’s only right that after the shit DeVilbis pulled, Fallon is finally getting some closure.
Lauren: I’d like to run it in Monday’s edition. Can you have it ready for me, Terry?
Terry: Piece of cake!
Patrick (claps his hands): Great! We’ll leave you ladies to it.
(THAT EVENING – The library of the Carrington mansion – 173 Wessex Drive – Golden, Colorado)
Jeff: So Lauren and Terry have made up their minds?
Leslie: Yes they have. They got confirmation from a contact in Brazil. The body found in that run down hotel in Rio was Peter, so yeah, Peter DeVilbis is, in fact, dead.
Patrick: The contact they got their information from was actually a contact of mine. Joao Silva.
Jeff: Really?
Patrick: Turns out DeVilbis had some dental work done in Rio in the mid 1980’s. The dentist that did it was also Joao’s dentist. Dr. Frederico Lopes.
Leslie: That’s why the dental records from the plane crash in 1985 didn’t match.
Fallon: What caused Peter’s death? Were drugs involved?
Patrick: We don’t know. Terry and Lauren are waiting for the toxicology report to come back from the forensics lab of the state police. At this point, they’re calling natural causes.
Jeff: Natural causes?? That’s what the police said after Adam’s first autopsy.
Leslie: We know, Jeff. That’s why the girls said they want to make sure that the police did a more thorough job than the Denver Police did with Adam.
Patrick: Sis. I need you to think hard about this. During the time you were suffering from amnesia. Is ANYTHING coming back to you regarding any encounters with DeVilbis?
Fallon: No, Baby Brother. Nothing. I swear to God.
Leslie: Fallon. There’s no rush for you to come up with anything right now. But….now this proves it. DeVilbis IS dead and you now have some closure.
Patrick: Jeff. What about that woman that claimed to be your ex-wife? The one that was DeVilbis’ ex-wife also?
Jeff: You mean Nicole Simpson??
Patrick: That’s the one! Blake told me about her a few times. I remember one story about her throwing a wild party at the mansion and nearly trashing the place. Jeff. From I’ve gathered from Blake and from you, that girl had Golddigger written all over her.
Jeff: I think your mother was the first one that really had her pegged.
Leslie: Krystle’s always been good at that sort of thing. God knows she wasn’t taking any of my father’s shit when he came back to Colorado after Uncle Blake regained his memory.
Jeff: Wait a minute! I do remember Nicole telling me that DeVilbis was with a woman in Seattle before the plane crash in Portland. I think Nicole said she was one of his mistresses.
Patrick: That figures! DeVilbis doing business with his Johnson. No surprise there!
Jeff: She said that she might have been the one who died in the plane crash. DeVilbis’ not dying in that plane crash could have been explained away by the fact that he could have sent for her and hired someone else to do the actual flying.
Patrick: Anything’s possible.
Leslie: Jeff. Do you have any idea where Nicole might be right now?
Jeff: God! I haven’t even thought about her in years!
Patrick: Well, Colby…..if you haven’t, then it looks like you may have to start.
Jeff: After all these years, I wouldn’t even know where to begin to look for her!
Patrick (nodding his head with a devilish grin on his face): Don’t worry……I know who to call about that.
Fallon: Baby Brother what are you to??
Leslie (nods her head as she turns toFallon): I can see the wheels turning!
Jeff: So the Chronicle is going to run the story, right?
Patrick: Monday morning.
Fallon: There’s still the matter of getting a year and a half of my life back.
Patrick: Don’t worry, Sis. We have ways of finding people that don’t want to be found. We find Nicole and, hopefully, we can get to the bottom of this. I don’t care if we have to hang her upside down by her heels, if she knows anything, we have people that can make her talk.
Fallon: What???
Leslie: Don’t worry. He knows what he’s doing.
(SATURDAY evening – May 13, 2023 – The Drawing Room of the Carrington mansion)
Krystle (sees Patrick and Leslie): Patrick. Leslie. Do you both have a minute? Why don’t we go into the drawing room so we can talk?
Leslie: Yes, of course, Krystle. What can we do for you?
Krystle: Well…..it’s Fallon.
Patrick: What do you mean, Mom?
Krystle: Well…..I’ve noticed a change in her attitude the couple of days.
Leslie: Krystle. I hope you’re not thinking that anything’s wrong……are you??
Krystle: No. On the contrary. I’ve noticed that she’s been a lot happier. I heard you two had some sort of a talk with her.
Patrick: Ummmmm….yeah…..we did.
Krystle: Do you mind if I ask what it was about?
Leslie: No. Not at all. It was about Peter DeVilbis. Remember when he breezed into town a little while back after all those years making everybody believe he was dead? He really had her on edge.
Patrick: I know she didn’t show it, Mom, but it started eating away at her a little bit. I think she was afraid he was going to try and put the bite on her.
Krystle: I will tell you two this. For a while, he sure had Blake and me fooled.
Patrick: And most of the time, Blake Carrington was nobody’s fool.
Krystle: So what was he up to all those years?
Patrick: Pretty much the same old crap he was up to before. Except this time, he was getting involved in a lot of crooked arms deals. Some of them also involved Alexis’ boy toy Nigel Havensworth.
Leslie: God only knows where he’s disappeared to.
Krystle: You have no idea where he is?
Patrick: Nope! Haven’t the foggiest! Although, Alexis asked me a couple of time to go find him and bring him back.
Krystle: You didn’t seriously consider it, did you?
Patrick: God! no! I have a hunch as to where he is and if I were to go to where I think he is so I could get him and bring him back, that would be treason.
Krystle (shakes her head and breathe a deep sigh): It never ceases to amaze me the kind of schemes Alexis will try to pull just so she can make trouble for our family. This is just like the time She got Dex to go with her to Moldavia so she rescue King Galen. Of course, that one was partially my fault.
Leslie: What??? How???
Krystle: If I hadn’t told her that I saw Galen alive, then she never would have tried to pull of another one of her hairbrained schemes.
Leslie: Bottom line, Krystle. We now know for a fact that DeVilbis is dead and that has given Fallon at least some amount of closure.
Patrick: We also have several ideas as to the extent of DeVilbis’ involvement in Fallon’s amnesiatic period.
Krystle: Oh! That’s wonderful! I know that was something that Blake really wanted to get to the bottom of, but he never could. Can you tell me what those ideas are?
Patrick: No, Mom. Not right now. We’re still trying to follow up leads and we have a couple of ideas as to where to start. We just want to make sure we have all our ducks in a row first.
Krystle: I understand. You’ll let me know whenever you think you have something solid?
Leslie: of course we will, Krystle.
Patrick: When we get to the bottom of this, we’re going to let the whole family know. In the meantime, Lauren and Terry have all the information they need and the Chronicle is going to run the story of DeVilbis’ death in Monday’s edition.
(MONDAY morning – May 15, 2023 – Jesse Carrington Colby’s suite – The Brown Palace Hotel – 321 17th Street – Denver, Colorado)
Harper Perez: It was really nice of Jesse to let us use his hotel suite.
Trent McVane: Yes, but now everything’s been pushed back because Peter DeVilbis is dead.
Harper: Wait a minute! What???
Trent: It’s all right here…..(hands Harper a copy of that day’s Denver Chronicle)…..you can look for yourself.
Harper (reading the article): So it is true.
Trent: Yes. DeVilbis is dead, but we still need to get things moving, which is why I’ve brought someone in to help us. Would you come in please?
Duane Hardin: Trent thought you guys could use a little help.
Harper: I see. And you are?
Duane: Duane Hardin’s my name and I want to tell you. For years, I’ve been looking to get even with the Carringtons, especially, Steven. I spent fifteen years in prison because of that son of a bitch and then I had to have a little plastic surgery done when I got out. Now. I finally get my chance to get even with the Carringtons. I want to hurt them as much as they hurt me. I still can’t believe he went all the way out to California to find that tramp Sammy Jo only to find that she’s doing cheap nudes and she rejects him. Then, she turns around years later and marries him again.
Harper: Yeah. Even I couldn’t break them up.
Trent: I know you have quite the reputation when it comes to hustles and shakedowns. You know we’re going to have to get Chase when he’s alone. There’s no way we can get him when he’s at the mansion.
Harper: There’ll be too many people around and, besides, there’s Patrick Jennings.
Duane: Oh yeah! Krystle Dexter’s bastard son. I heard about him. Maybe we ought to start with him.
Harper (shakes his head): Forget it!
Trent: He’s too well connected and he’s an expert at hand to hand combat. We’ve got two people dead to prove it!
Duane: You know I thought Chase Torrance was Steven’s s son at first. There is a little bit of resemblance even he’s Steven nephew and his brother Adam’s son, but then I find out he’s a rodeo champion and a Grammy winning country music star. Maybe. Just maybe. We can make a little money off this guy ourselves.
Harper: I like the way you think.
Trent: We’ll need to meet again to get everything finalized.
Duane: Just name a time and a place.
(WEDNESDAY morning – May 17, 2023 – Rosalind Parkhurst Dexter’s office – Denver-Carrington Center – 1954 Blake Carrington Plaza – Denver, Colorado)
Rosalind Parkhurst Dexter: You’re sure about this, Uncle Patrick?
Patrick: Yes. I’ve talked it over with your Aunt Leslie and we got confirmation from Emily. It’s not going to kill our bottom line. We’re making money hand over fist with our logistics deal with Troxell Enterprises, plus, we’re saving a lot of money too.
Rosalind: Are you going to issue a statement, Uncle Patrick?
Patrick: Nope! You are. Same strategy as last time. We’re not doing the big dog and pony show. Just put the statement out there and be done with it. Can you get a hold of all the media outlets and tell them to be in the Denver-Carrington Press Room downstairs in the lobby tomorrow morning?
Rosalind: Absolutely, Uncle Patrick. I’ll have something ready for the press.
(THURSDAY morning – May 18, 2023 – Denver-Carrington Press Room – Denver-Carrington Center Lobby)
Leslie (standing behind her and whispering): Don’t worry, Rosalind. You’ll be fine.
Patrick: We’re right here behind you.
Rosalind: Ladies and gentlemen of the press if you will just take your seats, we can begin. Good morning. My name is Rosalind Parkhurst Dexter and I am Director of Public Relations for Denver-Carrington Enterprises, LLC. and I will be issuing a brief statement this morning. Admiral and Mrs. Jennings are here with me, but I am authorized to speak n their behalf. As I’m sure all aware, due their attempted interference in the awarding of a contract to Denver-Carrington and Alvarezco of Barcelona, Spain to build the new Kimon-class Fast Attack Frigates for the Greek Navy, Mr. Spiro Koralis is being thrown in jail and the assets of Koralis Shipping, Ltd. of Athens, Greece and the remaining assets of Powers Shipping, Ltd. are being put up for auction. I am here to announce that Denver-Carrington Enterprises, LLC. will not be participating in the bid process. Denver-Carrington is currently in a logistics contract with Troxell Enterprises, LLC. also of Denver, Colorado. It is the wish of the management team at Denver-Carrington to not go back on their word and they do not wish to be…..”saddled with Zach Powers and Spiro Koralis’ baggage.” You may pick up a copy of the statement on your way out. Thank you. That is all…..(hears grumblings from assorted reporters)
Patrick (clears his throat): AHEM!!!! I believe the lady said THAT IS ALL!! This dog and pony show is over…..GET OUT!!!!…..(watches as the reporters leave)
(MEANWHILE – Alexis Colby’s office – Morell Enterprises, Inc. – Granite Tower – 1090 18th Street – Denver, Colorado)
Jesse Carrington Colby (comes into his grandmother’s office followed by Alex Rubio): You wanted to see me, Grandmother?
Alexis: Oh yes! Jesse, dahling! Please do come in.
Alex: Oh! I’m sorry. Would you like me to leave, Alexis?
Alexis: Oh no, Dear. That’s quite all right. I’m about to share some very important news with my grandson and I think that you should hear it too. As you both know. I am turning the CEO position here at Morell Enterprises over to my grandson Jesse.
Jesse: You told us that the other day, Grandmother.
Alexis: Yes I know and I also said that I didn’t wish to go on forever. After all, I am going to be turning 90 years old on Tuesday.
Alex: May I say in advance Happy Birthday, Alexis!
Alexis: Thank you, Dear. I have issued a statement and tomorrow, the whole world is going to know that I am handing over the position of Chief Executive Officer to you, Jesse. Alex.
Alexis: Yes, Alexis?
Alexis: While I have you, Dahling. I must say that I have seen some of the latest designs that you have been working on for Fashion Fury and I must say that they are absolutely stunning.
Alex: Do you mean that, Alexis?
Alexis: I most certainly do, Dahling and I want them to be prominently featured at our next fashion show.
Alex: Oh! Thank you, Alexis!
Alexis: Like I told you the other day, Jesse. I want you to take the lead on the Koralis Project. Your father had a lot of potential and I see that same potential in you.
Jesse: Thank you, Grandmother.

Miles: This is true.
Sable (comes into Miles’ office): Miles! Monica! Dahlings! How are you?
