Mother? Maybe we should try our grandstand play.

I have to find Emma. Now, her proxy is crucial.

Someone's been following me.

Where are you? I feel like I'm living in a fishbowl here.

Running away is not going to solve anything.

I'm not some celebrity you follow around to the night spots.

I'm making you a celebrity.

How long do you plan to stay?

As long as I'm needed.

um

Hi.

Hi yourself.

Looks like more than a weekend trip.

Yeah, I hope to be gone before anyone got here.

Where are you going?

I'm moving to the Demery place.

Why?

Mom, I feel like I'm living in a fishbowl here.

Oh, oh, come on. It's going to look like you're running away. This isn't going

to solve anything.

I got a job.

You got a job here. It's not the same thing.

This is crazy, Cole. This is just crazy. What do you think this is going to do

to your father, to the whole family? You can't... All right, wait a minute. Will

you wait a minute?

Cole, you know we want what is best for you.

And with your trial coming up, you should be home with your family.

I don't think so.

Hey, sailor.

Where are you going?

I got things to do and places to be.

Is that a fact?

Well, you've been working day and night.

You should give it a rest.

Yeah, well, I like to keep busy.

Not many wives would put up with such a busy husband.

Not many wives have painted themselves into a corner like you have.

Getting out of tight spots is one of my specialties.

Shall I expect you for dinner?

You've got to be kidding.

Oh, Miss, my whole point.

Moving to Catherine Demery's place is simply going to make his defense more

difficult. She's still in the valley.

It looks like he's running away.

Chase?

You didn't even have a guts to come talk to me about it.

I think I'm going to set the table.

Okay, okay.

Hello?

This is Chase Hubert.

Yeah, hold on.

It's the overseas operator. I think it must be.

Hello, Mother?

Yes.

Yes, we're very upset about Cole.

Yes, Mother.

Yes, Mother, yes.

Honey, tell her we've got everything under control.

What, Mother?

No, no.

Thank you. That won't be necessary. You stay in parents.

We know we have your support.

Yes.

If there's any change, I'll call you.

Yes.

Mother.

Thank you, Mother.

Okay.

I will. They send their love, too.

All right.

Goodbye, Mother.

Whoever said it was easy running a place?

Sure wasn't me.

Nice little setup here.

You know, if you... That's okay.

You really put me in the lurch by coming over here.

I didn't do it to hurt you, Dad.

I don't have any excuse except that, well, this is an opportunity and I

to take it.

No more an opportunity than you had.

I don't see it that way.

Well, try to see it this way.

A murder charge is a damn tough thing to be up against.

Whether you realize it or not, right now you need your family.

I need some freedom, too.

Aren't these flowers beautiful? They're from the garden.

Uh, Catherine Demery, this is my father.

Dad, this is my... This is Catherine.

How do you do?

Pleasure.

Oh, uh, I didn't think you'd mind if I took these to your quarters to cheer

up, huh? Oh, no, not at all.

We try and keep our help happy around here.

Cole's been a very big help to me. I feel very fortunate to have him here You

are Nice meeting you

What's wrong?

I didn't want to do that.

Well, what are you doing out here?

Fishing for crab.

Thought I'd make a nice dinner.

Well, look, I know a nice private place we can go have dinner.

Lance, I'm tired of these secret meetings.

I feel like your grandmother's constantly looking over our shoulders.

Oh, will you forget about my grandmother? That's kind of hard to do.

major part in your life. She plays the part I want her to play.

As long as you're at Falcon Crest, you're going to be under Angie

thumb. I do it for a reason. Will you listen to me?

One day I'll run things my way.

Doesn't it bother you that somebody has to die before you can start to live?

If you were your own man, you'd be out on your own.

That's the way my family has done things, always.

I guess I just don't understand that.

Not sure the Tuscany Valley isn't just a product of some writer's fertile

imagination.

Fropped with human drama, is it?

Something for everyone.

You made your decision on the debt portfolio?

Yes. I'm not buying it.

Figures don't balance.

So, I assume you have included murder and mayhem in your picture of the

And the latest.

Cole Giberti, out on bail, moves in with an older woman, one Catherine Demery.

Catherine Demery?

She's a widow.

Seems she needed a young, strong man to handle her affairs.

That's what I call exposing your flanks.

Cole's not careful.

The press could have a field day with that little relationship.

Miss Sterling, get me Alan Martin in photography.

Thank you.

A driver.

Please take the quickest way to the Tuscany Valley.

You know, when I was a little girl, I always imagined I'd marry a man who

just like my father.

Your father is short and very bald.

Well, so. I'm glad all my dreams didn't come true.

Whenever you are, this better be important.

Mother? Darling.

Did I wake you?

Oh,

I'm not moving in.

I just didn't know how long you'd need me here.

Fresh coffee? Thank you.

Darling? No?

Okay. Oh, French roast.

Lovely. Oh, good.

Well, you both look well, despite everything.

Thank you, I think.

I know this must be a difficult time for all of you, especially Cole.

But you don't have to worry any longer.

Mother, what have you done?

Well, I've asked an old friend, Samuel Rainey, to handle Cole's case.

Jacqueline, we already have an attorney. Very competent local man, Steve Barton.

But Samuel is the best criminal lawyer in California.

I've seen him on the news. He's practically a celebrity.

Thanks for your efforts, but we'll stick with our man.

Well, in France, people are presumed guilty until proven innocent.

Well, for what it's worth, Cole is innocent.

Well, of course he is.

And Sam is going to prove it.

Jacqueline's just trying to help, Mom.

Yes, I know.

I'd like to see Cole this morning.

Is the Demery place far?

No.

Mother, when we spoke on the phone, you said you weren't coming right now. What

made you change your mind?

Well, I never said I wasn't coming.

Oh, you asked me not to, but I didn't agree, and there is a difference.

Besides, my grandson needs my help.

Hey, how about some cold cider?

Sure. They're a mind drinker.

Ah, there we go.

Yeah.

When I hired you, I didn't know I was hiring a jack -of -all -trades. This is

terrific. Thanks.

One thing I learned when I came to the Valley, if something needs to be done,

it first before you find out if you know how.

Sounds good to me.

Oh, by the way, would you like something special for dinner?

The way you cook?

Anything's fine.

Then would you like the French?

Oui, oui. We have the Italian.

Si, si.

We have the Mexican.

Or we have the frozen.

Me, me.

is where the new globe belongs.

If Douglas had known what his son would do with the globe, I think he would have

made different arrangements.

Well, it's up to me to change things now.

That's not going to be easy.

I have to find Emma. Now, her proxy is crucial.

Our last surveillance reports have her eastbound through Oklahoma.

Until we can close in on her.

Maybe we should try our grandstand play.

How?

Buy up. All outstanding Globe stock.

Why, that's a splendid idea.

Go ahead, Philip.

Start buying.

Come in.

Morning, Angela.

I'm sorry, I didn't know you were visiting.

Oh, well, come in. What can I do for you? I need you to co -sign the new

agreement with our Canadian distributor.

Oh.

Have you read this?

It's all right to sign it.

By the way, my mother's here for a visit.

Here?

Nobody told me she was coming.

We didn't exactly have a lot of notice ourselves.

She heard about Cole's arrest and wanted to be with us.

How nice for you.

I'll be giving her a tour of the winery later today.

Well, don't let her sample the Zinfandel.

It's bitter.

I'll be careful.

I don't want that woman on falcon crest soil.

It's going to be hard to stop her.

Her son does own half.

Young man.

Jacqueline, what are you doing here?

Well, I want a hug before I give any answers.

Oh, darling, you look wonderful.

Not bad yourself.

And you have your father's charm.

And your mother's patience.

I know you're worried about the trial, but don't be.

I know you're innocent, and I'm behind you all the way.

I know that, Jacqueline.

So, this is where you work.

It's not exactly Falconcrest.

Well, it doesn't have to be.

You'll get good experience here.

Yes, indeed.

Mom. Okay, okay, sorry.

Well, the important thing is that you're out on your own.

A young man can stay home too long, you know.

Come on, let me show you where I live.

This was it?

Uh -huh.

Well, this place is delightful.

What do you think, Mom?

She does your laundry?

Yes, ma 'am.

I was hoping to meet Mrs. Demery.

Oh, she had to go into town to pick up her son at school, but, uh... Here's a

picture of her.

She's lovely.

May I?

I'd rather you bring your laundry home, Cole.

I'm really comfortable here, Mom.

Speaking. There's an emergency call in line one. Shall I put it through?

Please.

Hello? Hello, Chase?

It's me, Emma.

Where are you?

I'm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Baton Rouge? What are you doing there?

Well, ever since I left San Francisco, someone's been following me.

You all right?

I'm having a ball.

Don't worry, I'll shake him.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Chase, if anything happens, remember, I trust you to do the right thing with my

proxy. You know I'll try.

Listen, give me a phone number where I can reach you. Nope.

I gotta go now.

Emma?

I'm on the lam. Bye -bye.

Cole seems to be doing very well for himself.

Uh -huh.

Well, I'm gonna see you about dinner, Jacqueline.

Oh, but that winery is an absolute fright.

Oh, he has his work cut out for him.

I'm going to check and see if Vicki started something. She occasionally does

that. How long have you been doing that?

Doing what?

Walking away from things you find unacceptable, unpleasant, situations,

I wasn't aware I did that.

And you have misplaced that delightful sense of humor.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised.

The last few weeks have been a little shy of laughter.

You know, a more balanced view of things would help you with Catherine Dimmery.

You might realize how valuable she is to Cole now.

Jacqueline... And she is very attractive.

She is also a good deal older than Cole.

Oh, well, in France, young men look to old women for, uh, seasoning.

Jacqueline...

I'm afraid I have had it with your free -flowing continental advice. And yes,

I'm walking away from it.

Hi.

Must be a very special occasion.

Dinner tonight.

Dungeness crab.

Our finest Chardonnay, perfect with Dungeness.

Right.

Since I happen to know that we're having roast beef for dinner, I assume that

this means you're going out again.

Well, Grandma and I have made a deal.

As long as I come home to nest, I can do all the bird watching I want.

Your wife is having a baby and she needs you.

Melissa can take care of herself.

Is that why you let her go to her natural childbirth class alone?

Well, now, she doesn't keep many secrets, does she? I want you to go with

from now on.

No way.

She's the mother of your child.

You know something?

What?

I'd better bring two bottles of Chardonnay.

These are all the things that Jacqueline got for me. Why am I afraid to look?

Just a few basic things every young woman needs. Aren't these gorgeous?

Oh, I'll say they are.

$400. Oh, but Maggie, feel the leather.

It's as soft as butter.

Yeah, but Vicki doesn't need $400 boots.

Mom.

Honey, just...

like a who's who of every designer on both sides of the Atlantic.

I'm sorry, Jacqueline, I'd really like you to take these things back tomorrow.

I can't do that.

Why not?

Because they no longer belong to me. I gave them to Victoria.

Well, hello, ladies.

Uh -huh, what's all this?

Jacqueline brought me some clothes.

Very expensive clothes.

What is money for if not to buy nice things for those you love? Well, I don't

think that's the point. Why don't we talk about this after dinner? I'm

What are we having?

Something humble, chicken casserole.

Oh, now that's one of the few things I myself know how to make.

Maggie. Chase, your mother's driving me nuts. I know, the shopping spree. She's

trying to buy Vicki's affection.

She does tend to overdo things, but it's only because she loves Vicki.

We can't get her those things.

That's precisely why she shouldn't get used to them.

Well, you can't fight a basic law of nature.

Grandmothers spoil their grandchildren.

You won't be any different.

That's only part of it.

We went to see Cole this afternoon.

Yeah.

Well, he has... Quite a cozy little set -up there with Catherine Demery.

Don't tell me you're blaming my mother for this, too.

No, but she encourages it. She thinks it's good for him.

And you don't? No, I don't. Do you?

Of course not.

Faces a murder trial in two weeks.

But short of dragging him home, there's nothing I can do at this point.

Chase, I'm just so worried about him. I know. I know you are.

We all are.

Even my mother, believe it or not.

She just has her own peculiar way of dealing with it, that's all.

That

puts

that one to bed?

Not quite.

Here.

There, now that's better.

Certainly attract more attention. That's the idea, and I want a new headline.

Murder suspect romps with widow. That's how you sell newspapers.

What else do you have?

A little more of Alan's handiwork.

Who's this with Cole?

His grandmother, Jacqueline Perrault.

She's visiting from Paris.

Ah.

Well, then that should interest her.

An expose of her grandson's escapades.

She's a very wealthy woman.

She could easily finance a strong defense for her grandson.

It's very possible.

That means we'll have to keep a close eye on her.

Won't we?

It's nice to see you.

Thank you, Charlie.

Congratulations.

You now own 10 ,000 shares of stock in the New Globe.

Excellent.

I'll cover it first thing in the morning. I'll draw you a check. How much

need?

$400 ,000.

$40 a share?

I knew that stock was a bit inflated, but I didn't know it was going to cost

that much.

The stock's nearly doubled since Richard took over.

You mean he really knows how to run a newspaper?

Apparently so.

In addition to the editorial facelift, he's doubled the advertising rates.

Like it or not, the New Globe is making money.

Philip, you've got to find Emma.

I need her proxy.

We almost had her in Louisiana, but she slipped away.

Her route is so circuitous, it's hard to know what her plans are.

But she's certainly proving to be unpredictably elusive.

Then you're just going to have to put more people on it. I want to find her.

Now, I need control of the New Globe if I'm ever to get rid of Richard Channing.

Our finest Chardonnay.

I've got a jug of Chablis already open. Why don't we just drink that?

Okay.

You want to take a ride on a ferry across the bay later?

I don't think so. I'm kind of tired tonight.

I've been known to have a stubborn streak.

I don't want to get used to your finest Chardonnay.

As long as we're together, you'll get only the best.

That's what I mean.

I'm not going anywhere.

Where's Lance?

He wasn't with me.

Oh, I thought you and Lance were having dinner together.

I had dinner with an old school friend. We kind of caught each other up on

things. Oh, well, as long as you're home safe.

Good night, dear.

I can't blame him.

I'm not the most attractive wife right now.

Oh, Melissa, don't be so hard on yourself.

Cole's been very helpful to me.

You don't approve of him being away from home, do you?

Mrs. Demery, Cole is my son. He's been accused of murder.

Do you really expect me to approve?

He's learning to stand on his own now.

To take charge of his own life. That has to happen sooner or later.

No, this is not the time.

He needs us. He needs his family.

He has me.

Maybe it's me you don't approve of.

Look, I know this must be difficult for you.

With your husband gone, and we all need to feel wanted, to be loved.

And I'm sure I'd want to be reminded that I'm a woman, too.

But I'll be damned if I'll let you take Cole away from his family to do that.

I had lunch with your mother.

She disapproves.

In a way, she was right.

Oh, really?

Do I get a vote?

You have the deciding vote.

Then I vote to stay here

with you.

Okay?

Okay.

May

I

intrude? Oh, Richard.

Didn't mean to frighten you.

No, you didn't. I was just working. I didn't expect to see you here.

Come by to see how it's done, did you?

Oh, I've never been in a woman's laboratory before.

Oh, and I thought you'd had such a full life.

Actually, I've come here to talk business.

I'm not interested.

Oh, how do you know? You haven't heard the offer yet.

This is for you.

I am prepared to offer you cash for your interest in the new globe.

Also, I'm throwing in my guarantee to find your husband.

Set him up in the oil business.

Anonymously, of course.

As a bonus.

Julia, I'm giving you the opportunity to walk away from this place an even

wealthier woman.

I have enough money.

What about love?

How do you propose to find Tony?

That's my problem.

You know, someone told me once that a truly good offer is

accepted even before it's made.

I've heard about your offer, and Julia isn't interested.

I don't know why you're being so hostile, but I'm glad to see you haven't

canceled your subscription.

I'm trying to publish the best newspaper I can.

This isn't publishing. It's trash.

Well, that's where we differ.

My offer stands.

My daughter's shares in the Globe are not for sale.

I'll think about it.

I know you will.

Excuse me?

Well, Jacqueline.

Angela. You don't seem to change very much.

Neither do you.

Chase told me you were here.

Well, it isn't exactly a social occasion.

I understand.

How long do you plan to stay?

As long as I'm needed.

And I suppose this handsome young manager, new operations manager?

Oh, no, no. No, this is Richard Channing.

Jacqueline Perrault.

This is Chase's mother.

How do you do?

How do you do?

I've heard so much about you from my associates in Zurich, I feel as if I

you.

I'm afraid you have me at a disadvantage.

Mother, Richard is Douglas Channing's son.

He's publishing The Globe now.

Oh, a newspaper man.

The New Globe.

Jacqueline, Chase.

Well, It was nice meeting you, Chase.

Mother, you all right?

You haven't seen my office?

Oh, of course.

And I want to, dear.

Don't give me any trouble.

I don't need it.

Working the night shift in San Francisco again?

That's right.

Well, aren't we brazen?

You didn't even flinch.

I don't care if you know about her, Melissa.

Ours is a modern marriage.

Is it just way out of the question to think that you might want to stay home

one night? It's too late for summit conferences, Melissa.

Nice try.

Melissa?

What is it, Vanessa?

Dr. Howell, call him!

Help me!

It just happened.

It hurts!

The baby's not due for two months yet. She just crumpled over.

I didn't do anything.

Well, do something now and call the doctor. Why did you have to...

Who is it?

Cole Gioberti. Oh, yes, I recognize you. I bet you do.

What can I do for you, Mr. Gioberti?

Stop using your newspaper to nail me every chance you get.

We only print the truth.

You're convicting me before I've even had a trial.

Photographers follow me everywhere I go. I want it stopped.

Oh, now, where's your sense of humor?

This is my life, man.

I'm not some celebrity you follow around to the night spots.

I'm making you a celebrity.

What about Catherine Demery?

She has a right to her privacy.

And this is a private office.

Now get out of here.

Why are you doing this to me?

You're doing this to yourself.

Come on, let's finish this.

This must have come up very suddenly.

Swiss bankers don't wait.

When I called Zurich this morning, Renee said to come at once.

Why? What's so urgent?

Oh, business, darling.

But don't worry.

I'll come back as soon as I can.

Jacqueline, I want you to know that you are always welcome here.

I promise.

Oh, Maggie.

Promises are so hard.

Why are you leaving? I was with you all day. You didn't call Zurich.

Well, it's better this way.

You were right.

I shouldn't have come.

Just now.

Take this.

For legal expenses.

I won't cash it.

Keep it.

Just in case.

You sure you didn't give her just a little nudge?

No.

But somebody did.

Mother, it wasn't my fault.

Well, Doctor?

Well, she's resting.

I've given her a mild sedative. She should be more comfortable.

And the baby?

The baby's all right.

Oh, thank God.

But it's in a breech position.

In a pregnancy this advanced, there's always a possibility of going into

I have to tell you.

That could endanger your wife's life as well as your child's.

Tell us exactly what to do, Doctor.

Well, Melissa must remain in bed for the balance of her pregnancy.

And avoid anything that might upset her.

I'll look in on her again tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night, Doctor. Thank you.

Now, Melissa must have everything she needs.

Yes, she will.

And that includes the care of a loving husband.

The presence of a loving husband. Because that child must live.

Next on Falcon Crest.

Sorry this happened. If you want to keep your place at Falcon Crest, I want you

to do everything, and I mean everything, to make Melissa happy. I just don't

like being humiliated by your nightly trips into San Francisco.

Humiliation hasn't even begun yet, Melissa.

Richard Channing's asking for a fall, and I want to be there when it happens.

In fact, I want to give him the final push myself.

What is it? Go in the ambulance.

I don't know who you are, but this isn't funny. Just be grateful you aren't in

your truck.
