Dallas s09e24 Episode Script

174124 - Masquerade

I'm sure Jack is going to be a happy man to the end.
Tomorrow, we will own Marinos Shipping.
You've never married? Would you believe me if I told you I never found the right woman till now? Mr.
Potemkin, you know J.
R.
Ewing? Yeah, good to see you again.
Mr.
Potemkin.
And this is Dimitri Marinos.
I was the one that cared about him.
I'm the one who feels the grief and I'm the one who was cheated out of marrying him.
No, I was.
Well, are you sure Alex Garrett hasn't checked into other hotels? I have spoken to them all, Monsieur Ewing.
He has not checked in.
Well, do any of the other hotels hold a reservation in his name? No, sir, but they will all contact me if Monsieur Garrett should call or check in.
- All right, appreciate it.
- My pleasure, Monsieur Ewing.
Goodbye.
Damn, where is that man? Does he know we're waiting? Yes, he does.
Thank you, that will be all.
Well, good morning.
Can we start now? Start what? Well, we have a very busy weekend ahead of us.
I thought we should review the schedule.
Fine, fine.
Review.
We start Saturday night at the Bay Club with the masquerade ball which Dimitri Jack is hosting.
Masquerade ball? I thought it would be the best way for you and Jack to be seen but at the same time hidden behind masks.
The oil people should see just enough of Jack to be sure that he is Dimitri, especially with me on his arm.
And I assume you've picked out our costumes already? Yes, as a matter of fact.
We will all arrive together.
There will be press in the hallway, but not inside the main room.
We should be able to shield Jack effectively.
We will, of course, have security around us.
Gonna keep him surrounded all night? No, we can't do that.
But we will very carefully screen all the people that he meets.
And I'm supposed to talk to them, right? I may look like Marinos, but I'm sure I don't sound like him.
No one has seen or spoken to Dimitri in over, what, three years.
All that is required of you, Jack, is a few nods, and some very soft hellos.
Don't worry, I'll be with you all the time.
It will only require your presence for two or three hours, then we can leave.
Well, sounds simple enough to me.
You all take care of Jack and I'll try to drum up a little business for Ewing Oil.
- That mean we can get out by Sunday? In the afternoon.
After the press conference on the yacht.
I don't I still don't see why we have to have a press conference.
Because the international press is here.
And they're very, very hungry for pictures of Dimitri.
We've had his yacht brought to the harbor.
It sits out in the bay.
Jack and J.
R.
Will go aboard the yacht first.
Nicholas, Grace and I will stay at the dock with the press.
You and J.
R.
, stay on the lee side of the boat so they can get pictures with their long lenses.
And that should be sufficient proof that Dimitri is in good health.
How am I supposed to handle a press conference? You won't have to.
J.
R.
And I will take care of that.
We'll discuss our partnership for those people who don't know about it.
And I thought maybe we'll discuss future ventures between our companies.
Well, you do whatever you want to about your future ventures, J.
R but without me.
Jack, just remember that 10 percent of all of our profits are yours.
I'll tell you what.
You'll make enough off this that you can buy back my 10 percent.
- You'd like that real well - Why don't we discuss in private? Jack, J.
R.
, we have such little time left together.
Can't we please be friends? Ha.
Friends? I don't think that word stands for very much around here.
The boy's a bundle of nerves, isn't he? What about you? I like high-stakes games.
You never know till you call the bet who's got the winning hand.
To the winning hand.
To the winning hand.
You definitely should've bought that black dress.
I have six just like it.
Anyway, I think I'm running out of closet space.
Heh.
Are you still a pack rat? Ha, ha, I suppose so.
You know, I think I have clothes I haven't worn in 10 years.
I start to give them away, I take them out and I think, "You never know, styles may change," and I end up keeping them.
Well, whether you needed the clothes or not I'm very happy that we went shopping.
I miss the times that we used to have together.
Oh, so do I.
You know, I haven't thanked you for keeping Christopher for me while I was in Colombia.
Oh, Pam, you don't need to thank me.
He's a joy.
He's just a wonderful little boy.
You know, some things happened to me down there that made me rethink my attitude.
About what? About the things I need, the reasons I need them.
Miss Ellie, how would you feel if I sold Christopher's share of Ewing Oil to J.
R? Well, that's a surprising question.
I need to know.
But I thought that you were carrying the flame for Bobby, so to speak.
That seemed so important to you.
What Bobby and I had will always be important to me but Ewing Oil isn't anymore.
Christopher's future is secure.
And I think it's time that we all got on with our lives.
Well, Pam, if that's what you want, I have no problem with it.
Ewing Oil has always been just a business, no more, no less.
Except for the heartbreak that it's brought us.
Maybe, in the long run, J.
R.
Finally having control of Ewing Oil would make things easier for all of us.
Lord knows it would stop some of the fighting that's been going on the past eight years.
Then Christopher and John Ross would simply be cousins, not business rivals.
And I think that's what Bobby wanted all along.
Pam, you do what's right for you.
You don't need any other reasons.
Of course it's deductible, Mr.
Williams.
Yes, if we do have a telethon, we'll be sure to mention your name.
Yes.
Ten thousand dollars? Well, that's a very handsome sum.
Thank you very much.
Yes, I'll be sure to remember you to J.
R.
Thank you again.
Bye-bye.
Old poop.
Still digging up dollars for Graison Research? I would much rather throw 10 fundraisers than have to talk to some of these people on the phone.
- I thought you were in Houston.
- I just got back.
I wanted to be sure you were still here.
Where else would I be? I thought maybe there was a chance J.
R.
Talked you into going to Martinique.
Did you really? The thought crossed my mind.
Well, why? I thought I made my position with J.
R.
Very clear.
You did.
Sort of.
But I've heard that he can be mighty persuasive.
And the two of you are at Southfork together.
We're at Southfork separately.
And only because of our son.
And will you and John Ross and the family be having dinner together every night? I suppose.
Why? Are you looking for an invitation? No, I'm extending one.
Have dinner with me.
I don't think I should.
Why not? There are no strings.
I won't try to push you into a romance you don't want.
Jerry If it makes you feel any better, we'll just talk business all night.
All right.
Dinner.
When? Saturday night.
John Ross is spending the night with Pam and Christopher.
Well, you won't regret it.
All right.
All right.
Will you please get out here so I can make my phone calls? All right.
Saturday night, don't forget.
Thanks for today, Pam.
And thanks for dropping me home.
Oh, you're welcome.
We'll do it again soon.
I'm gonna see you Saturday because I'm picking up John Ross.
- Good.
I'll see you then.
- All right.
- Drive carefully.
- I will.
Hello, Jenna.
Hello, Pam.
Is everything well? Oh, it's great.
- And the boutique? - Well, I'm not sure.
I'm spending most of my afternoons at the psychiatrist.
But I'm sure you knew that.
Yes, I did.
I went through quite a bit of that myself a few years ago.
And you're all better now.
Aren't you lucky? Jenna, I know how difficult it's been for you since Bobby died.
- Do you? - Yes, I do.
It's been difficult for me too.
But now I've gotten through the worst part of it and I'm trying to go on with my life.
I fail to see what any of this has to do with me.
Jenna, if I could be of any help to you even if you just want to talk, I'd be more than happy to listen.
Why do you think you can help me? Because of what we've both been through.
Because of how we both felt about Bobby.
We don't feel the same way.
I loved him.
You divorced him.
And now you've got Mark Graison.
Jenna, that's not fair.
What is fair? You had what I never did.
That's why you could never understand how I feel.
All Bobby ever wanted was to marry me.
The one thing in the world that he wanted the most and I deprived him of it.
All our lives we planned on being married, Pam that will never happen.
Now he's dead.
We'll never be married.
How do you expect me to forgive myself for that? Jenna? Hey, how was your shopping? Oh, fine.
Clayton called.
He said things weren't going as fast in Houston as he hoped.
- He didn't know when he would get home.
- Oh, dear.
Oh, I really do miss him when he's away.
How'd he sound? Unhappy that he wasn't coming home, but he said he'd call you tonight.
Is there something else bothering you? Jenna.
I really think she's on the brink of a disaster.
She came in crying and then ran upstairs.
I think I ought to go up and see her.
You know, I think, Miss Ellie, that we all need to back off for a while.
I think she's probably getting tired of us trying to tell her what to do.
Well, yes, but it's for her own good.
We only wanna help.
Maybe the best way is just leave her alone.
Let her and Dr.
Ford try and work things out.
I'm sure he's doing the best that he can.
Oh, boy.
Let's hope so.
- Yeah? Telephone, Monsieur Ewing.
All right, I got it.
J.
R.
Ewing here.
Monsieur Ewing, this is Emile at the Hotel Maria.
- Yeah.
You heard anything? - Yes, monsieur.
The man you seek called to ask if you had been looking for him.
I gave him your number, but he said he did not wish to call you there.
Is he on the island? No, sir, but he did give me a number for you to call.
It is 011-555-7635.
All right.
I got that.
Ah, listen, Emile, I admire your discretion.
It won't go unrewarded, I assure you.
Thank you, Monsieur Ewing.
If at any time in the future I can be of service Yeah, I'll let you know.
Hello? Hello.
It's J.
R.
Here.
Oh, I'm sorry I'm not in Martinique.
I, uh, got hung up.
Uh-huh.
Why no reservations? Did you use another name? Yes, I did.
With all the Marinos people there, I thought it was better not to use my real name.
- You gonna be able to get here? - Yes, Saturday afternoon.
Good.
Good.
Now, listen, Saturday night, there's a masquerade ball at the Bay Club.
So? I thought it would be a perfect opportunity for us to meet and nobody would be able to recognize you.
Ha.
Well, that's wonderful, but I don't have any costume, no invitation Yeah, I'll take care of that.
I'll leave a costume and an invitation with the desk clerk at the Maria Hotel a fella by the name of Emile.
All right, but I'm out of there Sunday.
I don't wanna spend any more time near the Marinos group than I have to.
Now, listen, while I got you on phone.
Why don't you tell me what went down between you and Marinos, huh? I'll tell you Saturday.
Uh, we are going to wear masks? Yeah, yeah.
I'll recognize you.
After all, I'm giving you the costume, aren't I? Don't worry.
Wait till we have our talk.
Then we'll see who's worried.
See you Saturday.
Hello? Hello? Damn.
I hope nobody was listening on that thing.
Well, look there, Jack.
They say that pool's one of the best forms of relaxation there is.
Is that a fact? Of course, I like to get my relaxation in a different manner.
Well, I don't have much choice, have I? Since I'm practically a prisoner here.
Oh, that's not true, Jack.
Of course, we can't let you go wandering around the town all by yourself.
Especially looking as much like Dimitri Marinos as you do.
But you could be enjoying yourself more.
Grace? I don't think so.
Aren't you a little hard on her? It's really none of your business.
Yeah, it is.
Until we get off this island, it is.
Which can't be soon enough for me.
Listen, Jack.
She's no robot.
No matter how this whole thing started, I really think that little girl cares for you.
Oh, come on, J.
R.
You know, cupid is a pretty unlikely role for you to be playing.
Yeah, maybe.
But I don't think you'd be as upset with her as you are if you didn't care for her.
Look, it doesn't matter how much I care.
She doesn't give a damn about me.
Oh, is that right? Then why is she moping around the way she is? If it was just a job, she's done that.
Hell, you're here.
Why isn't she having fun with somebody else? Look, what do you want, J.
R? I'd like you to make up with her.
What do you got to lose, Jack? Swallowing a little hurt pride? Oh, I don't know.
- Maybe you're right.
- Of course I am.
You sure that's the only reason you think I should make up with her? Mostly, yeah.
Of course, she might start talking about the masquerade ball and Sunday on the yacht.
Talk how? What, you know something that I don't? No.
No.
It's just that maybe there's something going on that you and I don't know about and she might.
I've learned over the years, the more you know the luckier you get.
On the other hand, things may be exactly the way they seem and the worst could happen is you'd have to spend nights in the arms of that lovely little girl.
Ha, ha.
A dirty filthy job, but somebody's gotta do it.
Think about it.
Jackie.
Pam.
Hi, what are you doing here? Thought I'd come see Jamie and Cliff.
Are they in? I'll tell them you're here.
Yes, Jackie? - Pam's here to see you.
You're kidding.
We haven't seen you in so long.
How was the jungle? Well, if you have a week, I'll let you know.
There's such a story to tell What a surprise.
Hey, J.
R.
Finally lock you out of Ewing Oil? That's really cute.
That's very funny.
- I'm here to see my sister-in-law.
- Come on in.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Oh, how are you feeling? I'm feeling fine, thank you.
I've been back to work for quite some time.
Oh.
Ooh.
I rearranged some things.
I hope you don't mind.
It's not my office anymore and I couldn't be happier you're here.
- Thank you.
She's good too.
My little wife knows a lot about the oil business.
- Not that you don't, of course.
- Of course.
It's great the two of you are working together.
Cliff's been real good about letting me help out.
Well, keep an eye on him because sometimes he tries to go a little too fast.
- I know that.
- Hey, never mind that.
Listen, I wanna know why you're not in Martinique protecting your interests.
Well, why should I be? Because Jack and J.
R.
Are there with that Marinos group.
I thought you joined Ewing Oil so you could keep an eye on him.
I did.
I'm not sure it's that important anymore.
You better watch your step, because that man will rob you blind.
Not if I'm not a part of it.
What, you're thinking about leaving Ewing Oil? Maybe.
I'm not sure.
Well, I don't believe that.
Hold all the calls, Jackie.
It's for Pam.
Matt Cantrell.
Wonderful.
There's Mr.
Emerald-Mine.
I'll take it, Jackie.
Hello? Hello, Matt? Hi, how did you know I was here? Oh, Phyllis.
Well, how are things going? Oh.
Oh, well.
I see.
No, it's not anybody's fault.
How much? I'll have it deposited down there this afternoon.
No, I understand.
All right, goodbye, Matt.
Uh-huh.
He wants more money, right? How much? None of your business.
You're ashamed to tell me.
Five hundred thousand dollars, and I don't wanna hear about it.
Pam, you know, you're crazy.
You see, you're throwing good money after bad.
- Now, you want my advice? - I don't want advice.
I don't wanna talk to you about it, and it happens to be my money.
- But - One more word and I will walk out of here.
Hey, you two, calm down.
Cliff, leave her alone.
Pam, how about you and Mark coming over to dinner Saturday night? John Ross is staying Saturday.
Sunday would be fine.
Great, you got it.
Cliff? No, I don't care.
I'm not saying another word.
But I'll tell you, Mark will when he hears about this.
But No.
Me? I'm not saying another word.
Well, things have certainly changed around here.
There's not a man at the table.
Grandma.
I'm sorry, John Ross.
I meant husbands.
I don't know where Ray is.
He normally always shows up for dinner.
And what about your mother, Charlie? Where's she? She had a headache.
She's not feeling so good.
I don't know.
She seems awfully upset about something.
She's gonna be just fine, okay? Hi, Uncle Ray.
You're late.
Sorry about that.
I was at the new house.
Things are coming right along.
Why didn't you ask me to go with you? I'm sorry, I just kind of ended up out there by accident, honey.
It should be almost finished by now.
A lot of work to be done yet.
Wiring, plumbing.
- Things like that.
- Yeah.
At this point it seems like it's gonna take forever.
The funny thing is, it's a lot bigger than I ever pictured it.
What do you mean? Well, there's all those rooms, and then it's just me and Donna.
But I tell you, being here at Southfork these past couple of months I guess I just kind of got used to being around a big family now.
Especially when we're at dinner like this.
Even the kids.
I like it.
Wait a minute, are you telling me that you'd just as soon sell that place and move in here permanently? Of course not.
I'm just saying I think there's a lot to be said for being part of a big family.
- I think a big family's great.
Me too.
There's always someone around to play with.
Big families are a joy but there are times when a little peace and quiet are a blessing.
Did you say good night to Christopher for me? Mm-hm.
He said to tell you that he loves you.
- Does his mommy still love me? - Mm-hm.
- Does she trust me? - Absolutely.
Then why won't she tell me what's bothering her? Besides the fact that you sent Matt Cantrell a half a million dollars.
You said that it was my money and I can afford it.
Well, so you can.
That's why I wonder what else is bothering you.
I'm worried about Jenna Wade.
Why is Jenna a concern of yours? I ran into her today when I dropped Miss Ellie off at Southfork.
She was just coming back from her psychiatrist.
I really think she's in trouble.
What sort of trouble? Well, I was talking to her.
She's still hung up on Bobby.
And she feels so guilty.
She thinks that Bobby was going to marry her and that it's her fault that they weren't married before he died.
Well, that's not true.
Well, I know that, but You know, Bobby thought she knew there were problems between them.
Do you think I should tell her the truth? Tell her that Bobby was going to marry me? But what if Bobby was wrong? What if she didn't know? You have no way of knowing how she's gonna react if you tell her about you and Bobby.
It might be the worst thing you can do.
Well, maybe you're right.
It bothers me.
I just want to help her.
Thanks.
Grace.
I'm sorry.
You know how much I started caring for you.
Look What happened happened.
Maybe now that everything is out in the open we can start over again.
Fresh.
See if what I think we both feel is really there.
Despite everything I'd rather face the future with you than without you.
Grace? Yes? A very touching scene last night.
Your reconciliation with Jack.
- You were watching? - Yes.
A lovely moment.
You know, if I didn't know better I would almost believe that you cared for him more than you should.
I was merely playing my part.
And very well.
I'm sure Jack is going to be a happy man to the end.
Tomorrow when he dies on the yacht.
- I'm well aware of what happens tomorrow.
- Good.
You know, we've come too far to have you lose your head over him.
We're very close to having everything we want.
- Don't give me reason to distrust you.
- Distrust me? I would think last night would be enough proof of my loyalty.
I did my job.
Now Jack is perfectly willing to carry out the charade.
And I'll be by his side all night to make sure he does that.
I want nothing to go wrong, Grace.
Tomorrow night, we will own Marinos Shipping and you will have everything you ever wanted.
There'll be other men in your life, many of them.
And they'll be far better suited to you than Jack Ewing.
I know that.
As I said, I've only been doing my job.
I'm sure you have.
- Grace? - Yes? Will you get me some tea, darling? - Good morning.
- Good morning.
I think morning has passed, sleepyhead.
I know.
Did my mom leave for the doctor's yet? About an hour ago.
Why? Well, she was supposed to pick up a dress for me, and I forgot to remind her.
So why don't you call her there? The number's in the book by the phone.
Okay, I will.
Hello, this is Charlie Wade.
Can you ask my mother to call me when she's through with Dr.
Ford? Oh.
Um Well, I'm not home.
I'm calling from a friend's house.
I better go home and see how she is.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
Charlie, what's wrong? The nurse said my mom called and canceled her appointment.
She canceled all of her appointments from now on.
What's wrong with my mom? What's wrong with her? Cliff, have you seen these production reports for 340? - Yeah.
- Don't they bother you? They're down a bit, but they'll go up.
- You think so? - Yeah.
- What are you doing? - I am doodling.
"Barnes-Wentworth-Graisco.
" What's that? Just thinking about the future.
What about it? Well, you heard Pam.
What if she pulls out of Ewing Oil? What if she does? She hasn't said that she'd come to work with us.
Been a lot of changes in Pam lately, and they are all for the better.
And if I don't miss my guess, she and Mark are gonna get married soon.
Well, that'd be wonderful for her.
But what does that have to do with you? Are you kidding? Lmagine the combination of Barnes-Wentworth Oil Wentworth Industries and Graisco.
I mean, we would be a giant cartel.
We'd be the biggest group in Dallas.
- In Texas.
- Cliff.
And then I could go after J.
R and I wouldn't have to worry about hurting Pam or Christopher.
Life couldn't be better.
Well, these production reports sure could be.
Let me see those reports.
Okay.
She got home only about 10 minutes before I left to meet you.
Did she say why she canceled all of her appointments? The doctor wasn't doing her any good.
There was nothing wrong with her anyway.
And she was just showing normal guilt over Bobby's death.
I think my running into her last Thursday was the worst thing that could've happened.
Why do you say that? You were only trying to help.
I think I just gave her more justification for feeling the way she does.
At least in her own mind.
I don't think I dare tell her anything more.
I didn't mean that you should, it's just that none of us knows what to do.
Well, neither do I.
Well, I'm gonna be by at 8 tonight to pick up John Ross.
I probably will be gone by then, but he'll be ready.
He's so excited about spending the night at your house.
Ha.
Good.
Where are you going? - Out to dinner with Jerry Kenderson.
- Oh, a business dinner? No, only dinner.
Oh.
Well, Jerry's a very nice man.
Yes, he is.
I'm sure you'll have a good time.
I expect so.
I hope so.
I tell you, Angelica sure got me some costume, didn't she? I don't know what I'm supposed to be, but I guess I can get through one night.
Boy, do I look as dumb as I feel? - No, you look fine.
- Mm-hm.
Besides, you're not going as Jack Ewing, you're Dimitri Marinos.
So, what do you care? I care about being able to fool a roomful of people into believing that's who I am.
Yeah, just don't talk, you'll be fine.
Sure, easy for you to say.
When you got as much money as Dimitri Marinos people expect you to be rude and arrogant.
They're not gonna complain if you don't talk them.
Well, I'll just be glad when it's all over.
- Look at you.
- Mighty pretty.
Please listen to me.
You must leave here.
- What? - You're in great danger.
- You must not go on the yacht Sunday.
- Wait, what are you talking about? I told you.
You're in danger.
Who from? Angelica? It doesn't matter.
You must leave Martinique.
Not without knowing a whole lot more than I do now.
There's no time to explain.
Angelica's waiting for me.
Are we all right until Sunday? Yes, I think so.
- Then we're gonna have to go to the ball.
Why? Why can't you just leave right now? Because there's somebody there I've been waiting to see and I'm not gonna pass on that.
You're a fool.
- J.
R.
, is it that important? - It could be.
All right, we're gonna have to put in an appearance.
We'll try to get out early, come back, change clothes get to the airport and then get off this island.
At the ball, please give no sign that we have spoken.
Angelica's very sensitive to changes.
Please don't let on that you know anything.
What about you? Will you be all right? As long as she doesn't suspect anything.
Do you believe her? I think we better.
I knew it all along.
I knew something was wrong.
Shall we? Ah, good evening.
Thank you, thank you.
Good evening.
Good evening.
Ah, Mr.
Axelrod, how very good to see you.
Nice to see you again.
- And Mr.
Potemkin.
Angelica.
Of course, you know J.
R.
Ewing.
Of course.
Yeah, good to see you again.
Mr.
Potemkin.
- And this is Dimitri Marinos.
A very great pleasure, sir.
May I introduce my daughter, Christina? Mr.
Marinos, what a pleasure to meet you.
I've heard so I am glad to see that the rumors we've heard about you are not true.
As you can see, Dimitri is in perfect health.
Yes.
You better believe it.
Well, good talking to you.
Nice to see you again.
See you.
See you later.
Thank you.
Can Christopher and I stay up late and watch TV tonight? Oh, I think you can stay up until around 10.
Oh, no.
I forgot my bag.
Where'd you leave it? Up in my room.
Go wait in the car and I'll get it for you.
Okay.
- Pam? - Jenna.
What are you doing here? What? Why are you here? You don't belong here anymore.
Why are you hanging around here? I was simply picking up John Ross.
Oh, that's not true.
I know what you're trying to do.
I'm not trying to do anything, Jenna.
Why don't you calm down? It doesn't even bother you, does it? It's easy for you, isn't it? Oh, but after all, I'm the one that Bobby loved.
I was the only one that cared about him.
That's not true.
It is.
I'm the one who feels the grief.
I'm the one who was cheated out of marrying him.
No, I was.
Oh.
- Bobby said that you knew.
- Knew what? That things weren't right between the two of you.
Bobby asked me to marry him on the night of Lucy's wedding.
He was on his way here to tell you when he was killed.
Oh, I'm sorry, Jenna.
I never intended to tell you.
But at least now you don't have to feel so guilty.
How could you make up such lies, Pam? You're hateful.
You are a terrible vindictive woman.
It's all lies.
Bobby loved me.
He was gonna marry me.
I will never forgive you for this.
I will never forgive you for this.
I hate you.
Oh, God, what have I done? What have I done? How many more people are there, hm? Many.
Just keep it up.
You're doing fine.
I think we'll be able to leave in a little while.
Not for quite a while.
After all, this is Dimitri's party.
I think I'm gonna go get a drink.
Y'all enjoy yourselves.
Alex.
- I don't believe what I'm seeing.
- Marinos? Healthy and with Angelica.
There's something very fishy.
Oh? Why? You know I was Marinos' legal counsel, and a close, I mean close, associate.
Yes? So? So three years ago, he was at death's door.
They were barely keeping him alive.
He had me draw up a codicil to the will cutting Angelica and her group out of Marinos Shipping.
As a matter of fact, he wanted me to oversee the selection of a new chairman of the board and he wanted me to work very closely with him.
But Angelica is his chief executive officer.
I've seen the authorization signed by Marinos.
Are you sure? I've got a little letter I could show you from Dimitri firing me and demanding all copies of the codicil.
Are you saying they're forgeries? Well, it looks like his handwriting, but that doesn't mean it's real.
After I got it, I could never get close to him again.
They kept him isolated, surrounded.
I can't believe he's gotten his health back.
There's something very funny going on here.
There's a few things I have to tell you about Marinos and one of them is that's not him.
What? Hold on to your mask, Alex.
There's a lot more to come.
Something has changed.
I don't trust Grace.
Well, shall I proceed with the alternative? Yes.
We cannot wait until tomorrow.
Would you like something from the dessert cart? Not for me, thank you.
- Do you have any real chocolatey cake? - Oh, the best in Dallas.
Oh, good, I'll have a piece of that, but give me a few minutes to relax.
Yes, sir.
You're not going to have dessert after that incredible meal we just ate, are you? Yes, I am.
And no bites.
I take my chocolate very seriously.
I'm glad to know that you take something seriously.
I take several things seriously.
My work as a doctor, my friends, the people I care about.
Jerry, this has been a very exciting evening for me.
You're a remarkable man, and a great dinner date.
See? I told you.
May I ask you a personal question? Sure.
You've never married? No.
Would you believe me if I told you that I never found the right woman? I might.
Till now.
And now that I have, she's married.
What can I do about that? I don't know.
I honestly don't know.
Excuse me, please.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please? On behalf of Dimitri Marinos, Angelica Nero I thank you for coming to the ball tonight.
I'm sure you've all heard the rumors that have been circulating regarding Mr.
Marinos' ill health.
Well, as you can see, that's all they were.
Rumors.
And malicious ones at that.
Now, before the dancing starts I should like to bring to the stand your host for the evening, Dimitri Marinos his chief executive officer, Angelica Nero, and their guests.
What's this all about? I don't know.
We didn't discuss this.
You said I wasn't gonna say anything.
Don't worry, I'll do all the talking.
Come.
Thank you all.
Thank you.
This is a very great moment for Marinos Shipping.
And I am sure that you would like to join me in welcoming Dimitri Marinos, our host.
Jack! Look out, Jack! What the hell is going on? I think the masquerade is over.
