I can't believe it.

Your mother sleeps with my father, and then she kills him, just like a black

widow. I killed two people. Would you like to make it three?

Who is she, Sunia? I don't know.

Why did you do it?

He was determined to destroy Mother and all of Falconcrest.

Oh, Richard, don't hold everything in so much.

Beloved, now we are the children of God.

And this is the message we have heard from the beginning.

That we should love one another.

Not as Cain who slew his brother.

because his own works were evil and his brother's righteous?

Let us not just love in word or speech, but in deed and in truth.

This then is how we know that we belong to the truth.

This is how we will be confident in God's presence and shall assure our

before him.

If our conscience condemns us, we know that God is greater than our conscience.

and that he knows everything.

Whoever obeys God's command lives in union with God, and God lives in

union with him.

We know that God lives in union with us because of the spirit which he has given

us.

And now I beseech you, not as though I were writing a new command,

but only that which we had from the beginning, that we...

Love one another.

May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of

rest in peace.

Peace. Thank you, Father.

I just can't believe it. I know.

Maggie.

Michael. Oh, Michael. Oh, my God.

I'm so glad you're here. We tried to reach you. Good to see you.

Vicki.

You're grown.

How are you?

I'm okay.

How did you find out?

Oh, family network, you know.

Chase's mother and my mother were always feuding, but they were still sisters.

You'll, um...

Drive in our car, okay?

I came by cab. I barely had a chance to change at the hotel.

Oh, please, you'll stay in our guest house.

You look very kind, don't you?

How

is he exactly the same

Hello, Mrs. Giverny.

Is he in pain? Well, we've done some preliminary tests, and no.

No, he's not feeling any pain.

Well, thank God for that.

Actually, at this point, pain would be an encouraging sign.

Well, I mean pain, a reflex, anything voluntary or involuntary would be a

positive sign of brain activity.

There's nothing there.

He hasn't moved.

Can't we do something? Can we operate?

Right now, we're just trying to control the inflammation around the spinal cord.

But if the bullet is causing the swelling, why not just remove it? Mrs.

I wish you were that simple.

As it is, we're lucky the bullet entered from the side and missed the abdominal

cavity.

But he isn't even conscious. I know, I know.

But he has stabilized. Now, please, all of you, let's wait outside.

Come.

Please. All right.

Believe me, Mrs. Giverty, we're doing everything we can.

Maybe you'd better get some rest.

Excuse me. Why don't you, Cole?

Cole, you remember your father's cousin, Michael? He came up for the funeral.

Sure. It's good to see you.

Good to see you, Cole.

Maggie, there's nothing you can do.

They're fighting the inflammation.

Supporting all the vital structures, everything.

How do you know?

I looked at the chart. They're limiting the...

fluid intakes, giving him all the appropriate antibiotics.

You sure talk like a doctor. I'm sorry, I try not to. But you are a doctor,

Michael. I don't practice anymore.

Seems like kind of a waste.

Research keeps me pretty busy.

Maggie, why don't you go home? No, Michael, I don't want to leave. Mom,

exhausted. No, no, no.

I'll stay with Dad. You two go ahead.

There's no need, Cole.

I'm not leaving here, Michael.

He's my father.

He'll be in the coffee shop, honey.

Ranson?

Michael Ranson. I thought that was you.

Arthur, how are you? Good to see you.

Well, you're doing all right, Chief of Staff.

Strictly temporary.

Until he can find somebody who knows what he's doing.

Maggie, see you downstairs in a minute.

Well, I never thought I'd see you west of Johns Hopkins.

Patient in 315 is my cousin.

Well, the Giaberti case, that's a rough one.

But he's got a good chance with you.

He's not my patient. I'm just visiting.

There's nobody else I'd rather see on the case.

You flatter me, Arthur, but as you know, I haven't practiced in almost ten

years. I know, I know. You tried to convince me of that rationale at the

AMA convention.

Michael, this man needs the best, or he's not going to make it.

Arthur, I'm sure you and your staff can do very well without me.

I don't understand.

You threw in the towel. You went to research. Why?

You were the best.

You are the best. Arthur, do me a favor.

Keep it under your hat.

Ho! I want to talk to you.

Stay away from me.

We're still husband and wife and lovers.

What am I supposed to do, fall into your arms with undying trust?

What are you afraid of? There's nothing to be afraid of. Isn't there?

It was my father who was murdered by your mother.

I didn't know anything about that.

And we've been living with her under the same roof all this time. Don't you find

that just a little bit scary?

That's got nothing to do with us.

With our future together at Falcon Crest. Oh, I have a future here. But it

isn't together with you.

It's a wonder they don't get somebody down here to clean this place up.

With whose tax dollars?

Julia?

How are you, darling?

The food is cold, the cells are hot, and this place stinks of humanity. How the

hell do you think I am?

I know. We're going to try to get you out of here as soon as possible.

Julia, no matter what has happened between us in the past, that's all

We are mother and daughter.

Nothing can ever change that.

My office is already in contact with Judge Belmonte.

We've arranged for an immediate bail hearing.

Why don't you just leave me alone?

Julia, you don't understand.

I do understand.

You want me out of here so you can have me back under your thumb at Falcon

Crest. That's not true.

Well, if it's a choice of staying in jail or living with you, I'll stay in

The stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes of the beautiful Annabelle

And so all the night tired, I lie down by the side of my darling.

My darling.

My life and my bride.

In the sepulcher there by the sea.

In her tomb by the sounding.

Richard, have you seen these?

Circulation projections. We've got problems.

Oh.

Poor Richard.

I felt the same way when Father died.

Father and I had a special relationship.

I know I was his favorite.

But I still had to grieve for him.

My stepfather gave me these soldiers.

He said I was always to be a professional, like a soldier.

So I have no grief.

I bet you haven't even let yourself cry yet.

And I don't intend to.

Sometimes it just comes upon us without any warning.

We just let go.

It's just part of growing up.

Part of letting go of your childhood.

I never had a childhood.

Uh -oh. Do I hear the teensiest bit of self -pity there?

No, you don't.

Oh, Richard.

Don't hold everything in so much.

I have to go home now.

I'll see you tomorrow.

And then after she admitted that she had killed her granny, she pulled out a

gun.

There was a struggle. Chase grabbed for it.

God, I'm awful.

The shots were so loud, I thought they'd never... Who is she shooting at?

Chase was shot.

He fell and hit his head and Jacqueline was shot.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to be laying all of this on you.

All right.

Sometimes it's good to talk it out.

Chase and I used to talk for hours on end years ago.

Really?

My folks had this wonderful summer house in the Hamptons in Long Island.

And Jacqueline used to drop Chase off for a few weeks in the summer when she

went to Europe.

She liked to travel light.

Mom thought that was awful.

She'd tell her about it, too. She was the only one in the family who wasn't

afraid, too.

Maybe that's why they never saw each other after Chase went to prep school.

It's a shame.

I think you two would have been very close.

Intensive care stat, room 315.

Room 315.

It's Chase's room. Intensive care stat, room 315.

What do you want?

Oh, Charlie. Sometimes you're just too clever for your own good, Lance.

You're not being a spoilsport, are you?

I can get up, Chelly. Thank you.

I wasn't in the mood for the winery today or any of this either.

Well, I'm going to visit Julia in the morning.

You want to come?

I can't.

I think you should.

Your mother needs to know you care.

After all that's happened?

Sure.

It's at times like these that families have to stick together.

You're starting to sound like grandmother now. My mother is a

Well, Lance, in a strange way, so is mine.

But I still love her, and you still love Julia, whether you acknowledge it or

not. What if I don't want to acknowledge it?

Well, that's just a murder of another kind.

Well, the brain swelling seems to have ameliorated. It's responding to the anti

-inflammatory medication.

Good. Can you translate that for me?

Your husband's in a lighter stage of coma, and we're getting some improved

responses. Has he opened his eyes yet? No, not yet. I want to see him.

Well, the steroids are working, but we still have negative deep tendon

and localized tissue trauma at the wound site.

Doesn't sound too promising.

Oh, darling, your children have been so good.

Cole is right here, and, uh... Well, Vicki went home. She was kind of upset.

She was so close to Jacqueline, and I think... I wouldn't tell him that now.

But, well, I mean, he can't. He can't really hear me, can he? Well, we can't

sure about that.

There's a lot we don't know about comatose states.

I don't understand. If he can hear me, why doesn't he wake up?

Look, if we could be certain about anything in a case like this, we'd all

Nobel Prize.

I'll check in on him later.

Michael.

I'm going to have to tell him about Jacqueline. I can't just... I know.

get him out of that bed first, okay?

I just don't want to lie to him about his own mother. I know, it's a delicate

situation. You can be a positive force, Maggie.

Hold his hand, talk to him, but be positive.

Be positive.

Michael, what about medicine? What about all your education? What about doing

something?

No wonder you went into research.

It might interest you to know that Michael Ranson was one of the best

neurosurgeons in the country.

I do know that.

And now he seems to be afraid of it.

Why? What's he got to be afraid of?

And that old tie that Uncle Jacob used to tie to the big oak tree, remember?

We used to get so dizzy swinging on that.

Oh, everything was wonderful then, wasn't it, Julia?

The summer never seemed to end.

Nothing ever went wrong.

And now everything is wrong.

Julia, why did you do it?

The fact of the matter is, Emma,

That Carlo was an irresistibly attractive man, and we'd been having an

for over a year.

Love is one thing.

Power is another.

Power is falcon crest.

We could have it all, Julia.

We could have a beautiful life.

Tell me more.

I know how much you would like to keep our relationship strictly private.

Only to protect a lot of innocent people. If my mother found out about us,

make my life unbearable.

That's too bad.

But if I am denied Falcon Crest, if you won't help me, then I'm afraid Angela

would just have to find out about us.

Carlo was a man of passion, capable of enormous love and awesome

hatred.

And he was determined to destroy Mother and all of Falconcrest.

But I just couldn't let him do that.

Couldn't you have just gone to chase?

Oh, Emma, when are you going to learn?

This all started with chase.

You just got through saying how happy we all were when we were children.

Well, we all had peace in this valley until Chase came here and started his

eternal battle with the great Angela Channing.

Julia, they can help you here.

They have doctors.

only member of this family who has ever gotten in touch with their feelings,

who's ever really gotten to know themselves, and you think that I need a

You have to learn how to deal with your anger. I think I did deal with my anger.

That is not what I meant.

Oh, Julia, we love you.

Oh, yeah.

Sure you do.

We do.

We're all behind you in this.

Then where is my son?

Where is Lance?

In there almost 20 minutes. What do you think they're doing?

Probably conducting a complete neurological exam.

Can't they give him something like a stimulant to bring him out of it?

If we're only that easy, they're probably trying to get any kind of

pain, anything.

Well, the positive signs we had earlier have reversed.

Now this could be a situation which will take care of itself and only temporary.

Or it could be signs of further neurological deterioration.

What about the autonomic system?

It's failing.

He's back on a respirator. A coma?

I'm afraid it's deepening.

Doctor. Yes.

my husband dying.

Mrs. Schuberty, we're doing the very best we can.

Maggie, I don't want to minimize the coma aspects, but at least there's no

surgical trauma to deal with.

Guess that's something.

Now all we have to worry about is a piece of lead sitting on his spinal

I've seen people a lot worse recover completely, Maggie.

And haven't you also seen patients who are about to pull through just suddenly

give up and die?

Chase isn't going to die, Maggie. You're not going to let him die.

Besides, the Givertis aren't the kind of family that give up, are they?

Are they?

No,

we don't give up.

I want you to check all of the irrigation lines for leaks.

And when you're finished there, Dominic, the cabernets over on Lot 12 need

pruning. It'll be done, Mrs. Jennings. Thank you.

Phillips?

Sometimes you can be the hardest person to find.

I was certain you'd be over in your office.

You know my office goes where I go.

Never mind that. Tell me what happened at the hearing.

We've got problems.

Julia's just too hot. She remains in custody until her next court appearance.

But you told me not to worry. You said you had everything under control. The

district attorney rattled off a list of witnesses to Jacqueline's murder, which

includes you, I might add.

Not to mention Julia's confession to the Agretti killing.

The court simply wouldn't grant bail.

Now will you call Sam Rainey? To hell with Sam Rainey. Nobody could have done

anything. The court feels that Julia is just too dangerous to be allowed to walk

the streets.

The judge didn't say that.

The phrase was, quote, a danger to the community, unquote.

And we've got another shot at bail at the arraignment. Then another one again

the preliminary hearing.

Look, we all know that Sam Rainey's a brilliant criminal lawyer, but I'll

the motion until we get it. Are you sure you're going to have time for this?

You've been so busy playing both sides of the fence lately.

Angela... Don't Angela me.

I know all about your little rendezvous with Richard Channing. I don't doubt

that.

But the mere fact that you suspect me of disloyalty only demonstrates how

artfully I've managed to deceive Richard himself.

I've heard enough of your lies.

My loyalty has always been to you.

Believe that. Well, I believe what I see.

Now look into my eyes.

Tell me what you see.

I'm more than your lawyer.

And you're more than my client.

Every contact I've ever had with Richard Channing, regardless of the

appearances, has been with you and with Falcon Crest in mind.

I know what your legacy means.

I watch you every day give away precious pieces of your life for that.

I want Falcon Crest to be as great and as noble as I know it is.

And that's what you want.

My desires are your desires.

You see, Angela, the simple fact of the matter is...

If you can't understand that, then perhaps you should give Sam Rainey a

In the meantime, have some faith in me.

That's right. I'm no longer involved.

No, I'm not denying anything, but I have nothing whatsoever to do with

Jacqueline Perrault's business concerns. Furthermore, I don't care to be

interviewed.

No, Miss Hunter no longer represents me or the New Globe. You'll have a new

contact soon.

Lynch.

Pamela Lynch.

Yes, you may contact her for any further details.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Television station wants a filmed interview.

I had no idea the electronic media could be so persistent.

Well, then why not buy the station?

Maybe that's where all the readers have gone for the news.

Then we'll just have to give the readers what they want. More steam.

Oh, Richard.

You're out of touch with the new globe and with what the public wants.

You think so, eh?

I have been doing some thinking.

And I feel that what the new globe needs is to go off in a new direction. Emma,

I took a dying relic.

and made it the most profitable newspaper west of the Rockies. That's

direction we're going in.

Well, from the look of things, the only direction we're going in is out of

business.

I was waiting for you.

Emma went to see my mother today.

The beautiful Channings begin to rally to the cause.

When does the loving son make his pilgrimage?

Look, my mother told Emma why she killed her father.

We all heard why the day she shot Chase and Jacqueline.

Something about protecting you, as I recall.

That's just perfect, isn't it?

Your mother sleeps with my father, and then she kills him.

Just like a black widow.

My mother has filed Falcon Crest. There's no winemaker here now, Melissa.

Chase is dying. Richard Channing is close to going off the deep end.

This could be our chance to take it all, Melissa.

We need to be close now more than ever.

The only reason I'm even here is that Falcon Crest is something my father

dreamed of having.

I'm going to fulfill his dream someday.

And I sure don't need you to do it.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. She thinks she's hot stuff, don't you?

Yeah, too hot to touch.

Hey, look, I don't want any trouble.

What you want doesn't matter. We know all about you and your hot shot family

there in those grape fields.

Look, why don't you two just leave me alone?

We just want to be your friends, honey.

But friends cost money.

You dig?

Listen, I am not in here for shoplifting. I killed two people. Would

make it three?

All right. No problem.

Back to yourselves.

You better stay clear of vultures like that.

Hey, I was just on my way back from the showers.

Let me give you a little friendly advice.

You're out of your element here.

Sooner or later, the pecking order takes over and all the bluffing in the world

won't help you.

what she told you. I call the shots around here.

I want a meeting with all the department heads first thing in the morning. I've

got a new editorial approach to announce.

Now take care of it.

Emma, you and I are going to have a little talk.

Well, if it's about the new globe, I couldn't agree with you more.

I am talking about your campaigning against me in my own editorial offices.

Well, it didn't require much campaigning, Richard. Everyone agreed

this exploitation is getting repetitive.

Will you just leave well enough alone?

Exploitation's the name of the game, Emma.

I am going to give the public the hottest, muddiest story they've ever

exclusive on the complete story of Falcon Crest. Oh, please. As a matter of

fact, we'll even print Julia Compson's hysterical homicidal confession scene,

written by an eyewitness.

Me.

Richard, you can't do that.

Of course I can.

The least I can do is avenge the death of my mother in the house of Angela

Channing.

Let's go.

Sorry, he's not allowed visitors today.

Well, would you see that Mr. Gioberti gets these?

Thank you.

I thought he was improving.

Maggie, darling.

Angela.

How is Chase doing?

Uh, critical.

But he's not giving up.

You have my prayers, Maggie.

Thank you, Angela. I appreciate that.

Did they plan to operate?

Well, that's really the last resort in a case like this.

I thought Dr.

Landry was handling things.

Oh, sorry.

Um... Angela Channing, Philip Erickson. This is Michael Ransom, Chase's cousin

from Baltimore.

You do?

How are you?

Well, I didn't know Chase had a cousin. Well, his mother and mine were sisters.

Oh.

Do you plan staying in the area long?

No, I just came for the funeral.

Yes, it was a tragedy.

Jacqueline was such a... vital person.

I'll be going back to Baltimore as soon as Chase is back on his feet.

And we hope that'll be very soon.

Maggie, if you need anything, please call me. Thank you.

Very nice meeting you, Michael.

My pleasure.

Interesting lady.

or whatever that ransom man is. I don't like him.

You don't know enough about him to have an opinion.

He's related to Jacqueline Peralta, isn't he? He most certainly is.

Well, that's all I need to know.

I'm so sorry about the thing with Tony in San Diego.

I really am.

Even if Tony had asked me to come down there, I was a fool to go. I was playing

right into my mother's hands.

Mom, don't blame grandmother for the rotten things I've done.

I was just trying to get you out of there temporarily so that I can deal

grandmother myself.

Directly.

Was it worth turning against your own mother?

No. Of course not.

I've made a lot of mistakes.

But that's no reason to turn against Falcon Crest.

Or against Grandmother, not now.

It's so ironic.

I was so concerned about your future.

I think that half the reason I got involved with Carlo to begin with was to

protect you from him.

You really don't understand.

I would do anything for you.

For me.

Or for falcon fruit.

You're toying with me.

And you're taking me for granted.

Love me.

Act like it.

Are you always given everything you want?

Oh, yes.

What happens if you don't get what you want?

Then I take it.

He could have destroyed all of us.

His power was frightening and attractive.

I owe you so much.

I'm going to find a way to make it up to you.

Time's up. Let's go.

Here's to your new outlook on life.

Actually, I have a new outlook on things myself.

Oh, really?

I have finally come to the conclusion that I can't turn my back on anyone at

Falcon Crest.

Even the redoubtable Chase Gioberti?

He won't be much of a factor anymore.

What about your loving husband?

Beneath all his mischievousness, Lance is a loyal son.

He can be counted on for only one thing.

What's that?

To stick by his mother's side.

Oh, boy, you do sound bitter.

What I miss at Falcon Crest is someone like myself.

Someone strong to confide in.

To share my strength with.

My ambition.

My power.

If only I could find someone like that.

Don't look so shocked, lady. That's what you get for barging in. Who the hell

are you?

Lynch. Pamela.

From the London Bureau.

Mr. Osborne made the arrangements upon your request, I believe.

I came directly from the airport thinking this was a business day.

Obviously, it must be some sort of a holiday.

From now on, you'll knock on that door before entering.

My apologies.

I really should be going. No, no, it's all right. Oh, don't rush off, mister.

Come soon.

Melissa Agretti -Cumson.

Not nearly as pretty as your last one.

Well, you're blasting away. You must be really mad at that wood, Cole.

It's just so frustrating.

I feel like I'm letting him down.

You're not to blame for any of this. You know that, don't you, Cole?

None of that matters when you love someone, does it, Michael?

You should know that better than anyone.

Honey, you coming to the hospital with me?

Yeah. I'll go change.

Why don't you take the rest of the day off, Mag?

I talked to Dr. Lantry. He said Chase was holding his own.

He needs some rest.

I need my husband.

Hello, Maggie.

We're on our way to the country club, but I wanted to find out how Chase is

doing. There hasn't been any change.

Well, perhaps you'd like to join us.

Take your mind off things.

Chase may be dying and you are talking about playing golf?

God, you're insensitive.

Well, I'm only trying to help.

Now, let's face it, Maggie, you're going to have a lot of work ahead of you,

even if Chase survives.

And if he does, I doubt that he'll be able to stay at Falcon Crest.

But, of course, now, Michael...

I'm sure would be very happy to help all of you return east with him.

You really don't get any of this, do you?

Maggie, we're just trying to help. Of course you're trying to help.

You're trying to help rob my husband, my children, me, my family of our dreams,

because that's what this is.

This isn't just acres of vines or money or power or whatever you want to call

it. This is our life.

This is our life. This is what we gave up everything we ever had for.

For this dream of coming here, of being a family again. That's what brought us

here in the first place, and that's what's going to keep us here.

You are so emotional.

That's right, I'm emotional, Angela. I'm emotional as hell.

And it's those emotions, something that you regrettably lack, that's going to

help us survive here.

No, it's going to do more than that. Because we are going to prosper, and we

going to grow.

And if you persist in this eternal battle... if he was to drive us out of

then eternal battle is exactly what you're going to get.

Well, his condition has stabilized.

But there's been no other change.

I'll be back.

Thanks, Doc.

Thank you. Yes.

Hi.

It's me.

And Cole's here.

You know, we were talking last night about... about that vacation we took in

Maine. Do you remember that?

Cole was what? What were you, honey?

Seven. Cole was seven. Vicki was five.

No, no, wait a minute. Vicki was four.

Vicki was four.

And that lake was so cold.

I don't think you and I ever went into it. Of course, the kids...

They were in and out all the time.

You know, I'd forgotten.

I'd forgotten how much fun we used to have.

We really had a good time, didn't we?

Darling, I want us to be able to have that again.

That's all. I just want us to be able to...

Please, I just... I don't want to leave him now.

Maggie, keep talking.

Keep talking. I'll get Dr. Lansing.

Mom.

Darling.

Darling, we're right here.

Dad. Dad, we're here.

Keep fighting.

Oh, James.

I want to make sure we don't have any trouble with the Department of Labor

season. I already have a luncheon scheduled.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

What now?

Emma told me he'd do something like that.

Why would Richard lash out at a time like this?

Well, he just wants to infuriate me, make me see red, so I won't see what's

coming.

You mean Jacqueline Perrault's last will and testament?

Her fortune could be Richard Channing's final weapon.

Chase.

Chase, can you hear me?

No surprises, mate. Okay.

Mr. Giverty, my name is Dr. Lantry. You've been shot, but you're doing fine.

Real fine.

My head?

Apparently, it hit your head when you fell down.

Hey. Hi, Dad.

Hey.

The whole gang's here.

All right, now, I want you to squeeze my hand as hard as you can. Come on,

squeeze it. That's right. Nice.

Very good. That's right. Good, good. All right.

Take hold of my hand and pull it towards you.

Go on, a little more. Very good, great. Okay, all right, just relax.

Darling, this is your cousin Michael. He's here for... Hi, Chase.

I thought I could get a discount on some good wine.

She's, um, fine. She's resting.

Oh, I'm so happy.

All right, Chase.

Give me a little wiggle on your right foot. Come on.

Sure.

My foot's...

Maggie, my God.

I can't move my legs.
