What's the matter? I don't think Emma's feeling too well.

How is she, doctor?

She's fine. She's pregnant.

Did she say who this man is? No, but she was really frightened.

Turner Bates.

As if she didn't have enough problems of her own. Turner raped you, Emma.

He wouldn't do that.

You can't have this baby. I know a doctor who can take care of it right

That will never happen. She can't have this baby. Another grandchild, another

heir. We could both be cut off completely.

You let me...

Emma, you're not trying, Emma. You're not trying. Let me go!

Talk about your dreams sometime.

Hey, what's the problem?

There's no problem. It's personal.

Yeah, well, take care of your personal business on your own time. These men are

on the clock, and you're on my property.

I'm leaving.

Who is

that

guy? Uh, just a friend.

Didn't seem very friendly.

Well, that's just his way.

Manuel.

If you're in any kind of trouble... Oh, everything is fine, Mr. Gervetti.

There's no trouble here.

Just this wheeze.

Keep

an eye

on Emma for me, will you?

Uh, don't worry about Emma, Grandmother.

I'll take care of her. Oh, all right. Thanks.

Mother, Emma is having her nightmares again.

She's just not getting enough rest.

She'll be fine.

We'll all be fine.

Mm -mm.

Now, see you Monday?

Mother, would you mail this letter for me? It's a poem I wrote to Turner Bates.

Oh, Emma, darling.

Emma, Turner is gone.

Everyone knows Turner.

He's the king of the road.

Just walks into any town, makes himself at home, knows everyone by nightfall.

Just drop it in any mailbox, Mother.

You'll get it.

Emma, let's go back upstairs, okay?

How's tricks, Lance?

I read that in a book. It's so much fun to say.

How's tricks?

Emma, don't use that expression. It isn't very ladylike.

How's tricks with you, Mother?

Emma, come on. Let's go back upstairs, okay?

Upstairs.

And, you know, I can do it myself, Lance.

Have a nice time in the city, Mother.

She's not getting any better. You know that, don't you?

What she needs is a lot of rest.

Come on, Vicki.

I'm going to get you to the library right now.

What library?

You're supposed to be studying for your chemistry exam, remember?

I'd rather study anatomy.

Come on, Vicki, stop it. Will you listen to me?

Now, you've got to get out of high school, which means you've got to study.

And I've got a scholarship to hang on to, which means I've got to study.

it's a beautiful day.

Come lighten up, will you? We could go horseback riding.

We could have a picnic.

anything but study.

Look, all I know is unless I finish college, I'm going to end up right back

in the vineyard just barely making a living along with the rest of my people.

I want more than that.

You are really hung up on this ethnic stuff, aren't you?

So is the rest of the world, Becky.

Well, I'm not.

Mario, all I care about is you and me.

Maybe we better head for the library.

What library?

I heard Manuel was being, uh, hassled by some guy.

One of the other workers?

No, I've never seen him before.

I, uh, asked Manuel what it was all about, but he wouldn't tell me.

I'll talk to him.

Gus, if there's any trouble with my crew, I'd like to know about it so we

get it resolved.

I'll check it out.

Hi.

Hi, Julia.

I didn't know you were coming up.

Well, I wasn't really planning to. I ran into Emma on the road, and I just gave

her a lift. Well, thank you. Sure.

Where were you?

I, uh, I went to visit Vicki.

Oh?

Oh, the mail came.

Isn't that my hat?

Oh, I thought it was mine.

I try.

Angela isn't around by any chance, is she? No, she's in San Francisco.

Ah, oh, well. Was there something I can help you with?

Yeah, maybe you can.

I'm doing this feature article on Vineyard Cruise, and the only vineyard

I know is my own husband, so... Well, what about Gus?

Yeah, well, I thought about him, but I think people will be more interested in

reading about Falcon Crest Cruise, a little more glamorous, you know?

Julia, I'll be upstairs if you need me. All right, dear. Come on in. Okay.

Oh, Emma, I'll be in the left.

Thanks for the ride. Okay. Nothing at all. See you later.

Oh, so how is your Spanish? Oh, please. I haven't gotten to the point where I

can order from the menu at Luchosa's restaurant, but I'm working on it.

Well, I can help you if you need some translation. Oh, that would be great.

What's the matter?

I don't think Emma's feeling too well.

Oh, Emma!

Oh, God, Emma!

Hasta la semana proxima, Jorge.

And I promise you, Cole, Vicky's going to get through chemistry this year.

She better.

Hey, I got faith. Just tell that to my teacher.

Yeah, I got proof.

Hey, Julio.

Yeah, I'll be right back, okay?

Hey, que tal, amigo?

I speak English, niños.

Hey, well, so do I, man.

Hey, come on. I want you to meet some friends of mine. No.

You don't want your rich friends hanging out with me.

What's your problem, man?

I'm a picker, man.

Didn't anybody tell you? Rich people don't eat with pickers. Hey, come on.

Hey, you remember me?

I'm a picker, too. Three generations back, Leo.

That's a long time ago.

You're a college man now.

Go back to your new friends.

I thought we were supposed to be friends.

You thought wrong.

What was that all about?

I'm not sure.

Or an old friend.

He didn't exactly come on like Mr. Warmth.

No. Not exactly.

Well, I just thank God that you found Emma and brought her home. I mean, she

could have been lying on the side of the road.

Oh, poor Emma.

How is she, Doctor?

She's fine. She's pregnant.

Emma's pregnant?

Oh, my God.

What'd you say?

Turner Bates.

Damn him.

As if she didn't have enough problems of her own.

Julia, I'm not sure having a baby is going to be such a crisis for Emma.

Do you honestly think that she is qualified to raise a child? She has your

support. She has the support of her whole family. It could be very helpful

her. It could pull her right into reality.

You missed the point.

The only opinion around her that counts is the one that belongs to Angela

Channing.

Surely Angela has Emma's best interest in mind.

Doesn't she?

Compassion has never been Angela's forte.

You see, Angela will do anything, anything at all to protect the family

And it doesn't really matter who she hurts in the process.

Well, thank you, Charlie. I'm glad she's feeling better.

Okay. Would you ask Julia to call me?

Good. Bye -bye.

Emma?

Yeah, she's feeling much better.

At least that's some good news.

Why, what's the matter? Three more of our vineyard workers quit last night.

You think Angela has something to do with it?

How's the story coming along?

Oh, okay.

A lot of footwork, though.

I'll try to get some more interviews today.

Maybe you can find out why our men are quitting.

Darling, my farm is the lifestyle of the vineyard workers, not labor relations.

Sounds like another piece of fluff on the wine country.

It is not a piece of fluff, and I'm going to write whatever I find. Well, it

seems to me it'd be easy enough for you to find out why our guys are walking off

the job.

Excuse me, wait.

Before you start dividing the community property, could I have the keys to the

car?

Where are you going?

I'm having a picnic with Mario.

Has Mario been spending a lot of time together?

It's Sunday, Dad, and I thought I'd visit Emma later.

Good. There's more to life than homework, you know.

I don't mean to put you on the spot, but... Okay. I like it when you yell at

I'll see what I can find out, all right? Okay.

Is something wrong?

I'm sorry.

I guess I don't have a lot to say.

It's your friends, isn't it?

They're hassling you about me.

Listen, I wouldn't care even if they were.

There's just... There's just a lot of tradition I can't ignore, that's all.

Mario, tradition has nothing to do with it.

Your father works for my father. That's the problem. No, that's not the problem.

You know, you're forgetting.

There's just a lot of cultural differences between us, Vicki.

Well, maybe we should stop seeing each other.

You think so?

Sure.

Make your friends happy.

Your parents would be happy.

You'd please everybody.

Everybody but yourself You know, I don't think you know what you want do you

yeah, I know what I want

Good

They are still at the church.

How many in your family?

Eight. Eight.

And you all live here?

And your fathers and brothers all work at Falcon Crest?

All of us.

All of you?

Why don't you come and sit here?

That's a good girl.

Why aren't you in school, Esperanza?

I went to school, but now there's no money.

Now all of us have to work in the vineyards.

Children, too.

I don't understand. Falcon Crest pays their workers very good money. And if

there are eight of you working... ¿Qué dice?

Ella dice que debemos tener suficiente dinero.

Tuviéramos suficiente dinero para todo si ese hombre no nos quitara nuestro

dinero.

He says we would have money for everything.

I can go to school. The man did not take our money. The man...

It's all right. Don't be afraid.

Tell me about the man.

My father says the man will tell immigration about us if we don't give

money.

Esperanza, who is this man?

Que se vaya.

Este es nuestro problema y tenemos que resolverlo a nuestro modo.

Please, you must go now.

I'd really like to help.

You must go.

Please tell your grandmother that I'm very sorry. I did not mean to cause any

harm. Okay?

Be all right.

I'm sorry.

Grandfather, welcome home.

Thank you, Len.

We didn't expect you back till Monday. Well, I canceled dinner with your

grandfather. Oh.

I tried to call you at your apartment.

What's wrong?

Perhaps you better sit down.

Now, Julia, you know I have a lot to do. If you have something to say, say it.

Emma is pregnant.

Emma? Emma?

Turner Bates.

Turner.

Where is she? How is she?

She's upstairs in her bedroom.

The doctor says... She's fine.

I know a doctor who can take care of it right away.

That will never happen.

Are you sure?

Yeah, what else could it be?

They're being threatened with deportation. And from what I gather,

man. Did she say who this man is?

No, no, but she was really frightened. I think they all are.

That's why we're losing our men.

It's a shakedown.

Then Angela's having the same problem because that little girl's whole family

works for Falcon Crest.

Where are you going?

Going over to Gus's place.

Well, I'm coming with you.

I'm not coming with you.

Emma? Heather?

Did Julia tell you?

Yes.

Are you angry with me?

Charlie, did you think I would be?

Well, you hated Turner.

I didn't hate him. I just didn't think that he was good enough for you.

But, Mother, you didn't really know him. I loved him so much.

Now, we won't think about that anymore.

That's in the past. We're going to think about the future.

Oh, Mother, I wish that Uncle Jason were here.

He would be so happy. Emma, I said we're going to think about the future.

I'm asking you a simple question, Gus.

I told you, there's nothing to worry about.

Somebody's extorting money from the undocumented workers in this valley.

something to worry about. That's your problem.

When somebody's putting the squeeze on my men, the hell it isn't my problem.

don't understand, Shane. This is nothing new. Just stay out of it.

I want to help.

You can't.

You'll only make it worse.

The other morning, when I broke up that trouble with Manuel, did that have

anything to do with this extortion business?

Manuel plays the ponies. I guess losing can be expensive and painful.

Who was the other guy?

I don't know. Manuel was gone by the time I got there.

Yeah, and he quit my crew last night.

Thanks for your help, Gus.

Hey.

You know, maybe Chase could help.

I mean, if you know who's behind all this... What's the matter? You bored?

You've got three more breaks to adjust. Do it. Now.

All right.

This could be a disaster.

Emma doesn't seem to think so.

She seems to think that this baby could change her life.

What about our life, Mother?

She can't have this baby.

Well, I don't think you have anything to say about it, do you?

Don't you see?

Another grandchild, another heir.

We could both be cut off completely.

Mother would never do that.

We can't be sure of that now, can we?

And I'm not willing to let her have the chance.

We could put the baby up for adoption.

No way.

Ten, fifteen years from now, we'll get a call from some kid's lawyer claiming

the birthright to Falcon Crest.

That will never happen.

Because Emma's child is going to remain in this family.

Mother, is this a time for sentimentality? Sentiment has nothing to

Well, then why would you let Emma have this baby?

For several reasons.

I think the baby would be good for Emma.

Also, it's a Channing.

And another option for me, if you fail to earn your place here.

So what'd you do?

Hit the jackpot?

I'm doing some people some favors, college boy. What can I do for you?

Well, I was looking for some help, Julio.

Chase Gioberti came to our place a while ago.

He thinks somebody's extorting money from his labor crew by threatening them

with deportation unless they pay up.

No.

Well, you know Gilbert is a newcomer to the valley. He don't know how things

work around here Well I do And I know anybody in the extortion

business is gonna have the federal immigration to deal with Who's gonna

him about it?

I Will If I have to

Hi. How you feeling?

Overwhelmed. What's the problem?

I'm trying to think of a name for my baby.

A name is very important, you know.

If I had a name like Sarah, I'd probably be a novelist by now. Instead, I'm just

plain old Emma.

Well, I like Emma.

Emma's about as old -fashioned as you can get.

What do you think of the name?

Leslie Bates.

I like Leslie, but I think Bates is all wrong.

I know how you feel about Turner, but his baby's all I have left of him.

At least he gave me that.

Emma, I think Grandmother would like it if you used the name Channing.

What are you doing here?

I care about you, Emma. That's what I'm doing here.

I know you better than that.

You're just afraid of my baby.

Emma, a baby is a big responsibility.

I just don't think you're ready for it yet.

You're just mad because Turner wrecked your car.

Well, Mother bought you a new car.

But this is all I have left of him.

Turner raped you, Emma.

He wouldn't do that.

You can't have this baby.

Leslie.

Lester.

Lavander.

Leviathan.

Lorenzo.

Lever. Levy. Lewis.

Just a minute.

Hello? Where's your father?

Why? I've got a good idea who's been bleeding the workers.

What are you talking about?

I can't explain it right now. Just tell me, where's your father now?

Mom and Dad went up to Falcon Crest.

Mario!

Chase, Maggie, come on in.

Sit down, make yourself comfortable.

Thanks.

Well, Julia tells me you're doing a story on the vineyard workers.

Sounds interesting.

Well... It's turned out to be more than interesting. It's explosive.

It probably is.

But I wish you wouldn't pursue the story here.

Why not?

Well, a vineyard is dependent upon the people who nurture it.

And I don't want to jeopardize my relationship with any of my workers.

Well, I'm afraid you'll have to take that up with my editor at the Globe,

he's the one who gave me the assignment.

I see.

Actually, we're not here to discuss Maggie's story, Angela.

Oh? No.

Somebody's been extorting money from our vineyard workers. Yours and mine.

Well, why haven't I heard about this?

I suppose it has something to do with access.

You're fairly insulated up here. I work in the fields with the men. I hear

things you don't. And I've been researching that story, though.

Well, who is it?

I don't know.

But every worker I've encountered is thoroughly intimidated.

I don't know about you. I've lost a lot of men lately.

Well, there has been a big turnover this season.

What can I do to help?

Well, we thought perhaps if we offered a reward, we might get to the bottom of

it more quickly.

Well, Maggie, let me explain something to you.

My grandfather built Falcon Crest.

But he didn't do it alone.

In those days, the manual labor in the vineyards were Chinese.

It was their gateway to America.

And it's the same today.

So if we call attention to ourselves, we're liable to jeopardize... All of the

people who are dependent upon us and whom we're dependent upon, you see.

Mother. That means you won't get out.

Mother, I've made a decision. What is it? I'm going to name my baby Jason.

look, we're going to talk about this.

Oh, Mother, Uncle Jason would be so happy for me if he were alive.

Emma. Hi, cousin.

How's Trix?

Now, Emma.

How are you feeling, Emma?

Are you crazy?

What are you doing? If

you go to the police, I'll kill you.

Darling,

please try to eat something.

Mario went looking for you over three hours ago.

No. I just don't know what could have happened to him. I talked to Angela. He

never showed up there.

But he went there straight from here.

He said he knew who's been driving the workers away or something.

Why didn't you say something about this before?

Well, I thought that you already knew about it.

Maybe he went right to the sheriff then.

Yeah, but I think we would have heard something by now.

Gus is on his way over, Daddy. He sounded pretty upset.

There are 500 cases of Chardonnay in the storage room. They don't belong there.

I want them on the loading dock by sunrise.

Turner, darling.

I know you're here.

Turner?

You said you'd be here.

Turner?

At least you stayed home in case Mario shows up there.

He told Vicky he knows who's been harassing the workers.

You'd be in real trouble with that kind of knowledge.

God, anything you know could help us find him.

Unless, of course, you still don't think there's any problem here.

I've been turning my head the other way for too long, Chase.

You don't know who this character is?

The men won't talk to me about it.

The last thing they want is to be known as informers.

Well...

Whoever it is, he's getting pretty heavy -handed.

Mario.

Go get him a wet cloth.

Please.

I need you.

It's okay.

It isn't what you think.

Turner and I are going to get married.

Uncle Jason.

It's all right.

No. Uncle Jason, stop.

Stop what?

Come on, Emma. Stop what? What did Uncle Jason do?

Emma, you can tell me about it. Come on. It'll make you feel a lot better.

No.

No, I... I really don't remember.

Oh, sure you do, Emma. It didn't happen that long ago. Try to remember.

I'm not supposed to. Who says?

I want to go back to my room now.

Emma, you're not trying.

You don't let me go!

Emma, you're not trying. Let me go!

on the phone right now and call the doctor. What's happened? Just sit on the

phone. God, is she all right?

What's happening? I don't know. It's Emma.

Mario.

I'm okay, Dad.

Can we just go home?

Mario, I'd like to ask you a few questions.

I'm sorry, Sheriff. I didn't see a thing.

But you came to my house today looking for me.

Vicki said you know who's been taking the money from our crew.

Look, I was wrong. I made a mistake.

All right, I'm sorry.

Oh, no, son.

I've been wrong.

It's my mistake for letting this go on.

Mario, you can help put a stop to this thing.

Who is it, Mario?

Look, I said I don't know.

Gus, let me try to talk to him.

gonna be a beaut i'm telling me be lucky to get it open in the morning somebody

gave you a real beating somebody like i told the sheriff mr gerbert d i

didn't see a thing i'm disappointed i thought you were a bright guy with a big

future ahead of you i never took you for a liar or a coward who are you

protecting

They threatened her, Chase.

And they threatened my parents, too.

What did they say?

They said I was lucky to get away with my life.

They know who Vicky is.

They know where to find her.

Your silence is only protecting guys who've threatened people you care about.

Guys who beat you up, nobody else.

Mario, they've got to be stopped.

You don't understand, Chase.

These people aren't playing any games.

They mean business.

I'm not interested in putting your family...

Or my family. In any kind of danger.

But it can only get worse. You know that.

You heard your father.

He said he's made a mistake. Don't you make the same one.

I need a name, Mario.

The guy who was always talking about helping his people.

Well, nothing will change until we step forward and speak out when we know we

can make a difference.

Just as guilty as they are.

Julio Delgado.

What do you think we can find him?

He hangs out at the highway.

Thanks. Let's go.

Okay. It's my fight too, Chase.

I know.

Take care of Mario.

Will you pour yourself a drink, read a magazine, feed your bird, anything, but

stop that pacing.

Sorry.

You think she'll be okay?

We'll soon find out, won't we?

You blame me for this, don't you?

We all know how much you wanted her to have that baby.

What do you think I did? Push her down the stairs?

Well, she was all right when she went into the winery. Something happened in

there.

She's sleeping.

I gave her a sedative.

There's no reason why she shouldn't come out of this in good health.

What about the baby?

But this could push him over the edge.

Oh, I think she's stronger than you think she is, Julia. She'll be fine.

Now, don't expect miracles, Angela.

Even under normal circumstances, there are tremendous emotional repercussions.

And we all know Emma's had more than her share of traumas.

Her uncle's death.

Turn her beats.

And now this, losing her baby.

She's going to need a lot of help.

Well, we'll certainly give it to her.

Professional help, Angela.

Good night, Doctor.

Thank you for coming.

Julio Delgado.

This looks like a private club to you.

I don't know everybody's name in here. Listen, pal, you want me to check some

IDs?

All right, Chase, you better stay back. You're out of the way. Hey, he's all

yours.

Julio Delgado?

Julio Delgado?

Dad, are

you

all right?

We're going to have one hour.

What do you think?

Will he be back?

Probably.

Up here is easy picking.

Why don't you prosecute him?

He'd be out on bail in 24 hours, right back on the job.

I don't understand.

Exploits his own people.

I just don't get it.

Doesn't seem fair.

How much up here is?

I was hoping you'd still be here.

Lance, about what I said earlier this evening, I really didn't mean it.

I didn't push her down the stairs, Mother. She was wandering around the

talking to Jason about... I know, I know.

Sometimes she seems so normal.

So lucid and then I Don't know some other time she

it's like she's not even a member of this family You know, we're all a little

bit like Emma What are you talking about grandmother she keeps Emma locked up in

a room you get locked up in your laboratory and I Get the carrot

and the stick treatment

Well, surely you can't blame your grandmother for what happened this

Why not?

She's blaming me for it.

Well, you'll feel differently in the morning.

Remember, it's her carrot.

What if I told you that I don't care about any of this anymore?

Just keep in mind, she's got the stick, too.

Mother. I'm here, darling.

I feel so sleepy.

The doctor gave you something to help you to rest.

What happened?

You had an accident.

In the winery?

I was trying to remember about the night that Uncle Jason died.

Did you say anything to Lance about it?

Lance?

He was there, wasn't he?

He was asking me about Uncle Jason.

I got scared and I ran.

It's... It's dead, isn't it?

My baby.

Dead.

Yes.

And I'm sorry.

Oh, Mother.

I wanted so much to have someone to love.

Someone to love me.

But we love you, darling.

I love you.

No, Mother.

You love Falconcrest.

You love a place, not people.
