Original subtitles

Come give your sister a big hug.

She hates me.

I'll take care of Corrine Powers.

You can't fight the sentiment here. I don't know how much longer I can

living at Falcon Crest.

Hold on and the rewards will be great.

I think I'm going to like it here.

Thank you.

I thought the Duchess only drank wine.

You're sitting in my chair.

No, you're sitting in mine.

That's in my chair for the past six years. Why don't you just move?

Why don't you just crawl back under a rock?

You shut your mouth, lady, or I'll pin it shut!

Weren't you working?

I was thirsty.

Looks to me like you got what you wanted.

You saw them. They almost drowned me. Are you just going to stand there?

All I saw was you getting a drink of water.

But if you think you're in some kind of danger here, maybe you ought to look

into an insurance policy. Right, girls?

Right.

Fifty bucks a week might keep you real safe.

That's extortion. I can report you for that. Oops. The premium just went up.

Make that a hundred.

Don't hold your breath.

Get back to work.

And if I was you, I'd be real careful.

Because this kitchen is a very dangerous place.

Okay, everybody, come on, back to work.

Well?

She's over 40 and she's still holding. It's like riding on whipped cream, huh?

Well, shall I put a soul sign on her?

Not so fast, Cass.

Come on, I know a buyer when I see one. And you, my fine friend, are a buyer.

I wish I had you selling wine for Falcon, Cass.

It's no good unless you love what you're selling.

You going to take this aircraft home with you?

No, don't pressure me. Who's pressuring you?

Come on into the office. I'll pour you a drink and we'll do a little business.

I'm in a dealing mood today.

Cass, I told you on the phone I would fly her for fun.

And I knew the minute you flew her, you'd want her.

Fabulous plane.

I don't have to think about it.

Okay, but don't take too long.

Don't go in a hurry.

It's a chance I'll have to take.

Well, he has quite a history, eh? Yes, and your place has quite a history, too.

Otis McKay established the vineyards in 1875.

Shortly after that, he imported a wife from back east.

His first mistake.

He could have found someone out here.

Nell was a feisty little thing. She didn't fit into the valley.

She wouldn't play by the rules.

Well, sometimes that's what you have to do to get what you want, I suppose.

You ought to know about that, Mother.

They found her mangled body in a grape press.

Not very subtle, Philip.

Moral make wine not ways, eh?

I hope her ghost won't be too troublesome to you.

I'm not afraid of ghosts, Angie.

Well, that's wise.

It's the living we have to watch out for.

I don't care if you have to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

I want those circulation figures.

To show an increase over last quarter.

Yes, sir, I'll do what I can.

No, you will do what I ask. Yes, sir.

David, turn that thing off.

David, thank you.

What are you doing here, Mrs. Cumson?

Do you want me to leave?

I'll decide that after I find out what you're doing here.

I've been told that unpredictability is part of my charm.

I don't know about that.

But you do make me feel good, Melissa.

I'm going to give you the chance to corner the market on feeling good.

I'm listening.

I'm leaving, Lance.

Well, that's not exactly the response that I'd hoped for.

I'm sorry.

You caught me off guard.

I thought it was a pretty terrific idea.

Oh, it is, it is. I'm sorry that you don't seem to agree.

Melissa, I do agree. I think it's a terrific idea.

The timing's just wrong, that's all. We don't have a lot of time, Richard.

I'm pregnant with your baby.

I know.

I just want to maintain a low profile until I am able to convince my...

Dear brother Chase, that I am deserving of half my mother's estate.

I don't know how much longer I can tolerate living at Falcon Crest.

Melissa, you are a very strong woman.

You can do it.

Now hold on and the rewards will be great.

Well, then I'm going to need a lot of reinforcement.

I can always make time for reinforcement.

Doctor.

I'll talk to you about something.

This witch hunt that you've been conducting, it better stop.

It's not a witch hunt, Doctor.

You mishandled a Chase -Giberti case, and I'd like to try to find out why.

a minute. Let's not confuse differences of opinion with mithandling. I happen to

have felt we should operate, and you didn't. Going after a fragmented bullet

dangerous, if not futile, Doctor. Any resident in surgery means that.

It was my considered opinion it was worth trying.

What about the pneumonia?

Was it also your considered opinion to ignore the x -rays?

I demand that you stop this character assassination.

You're not in a position to demand anything, Doctor.

You keep taking pot shots at me and you're heading for trouble. Bye, Doc.

There's a guy in San Francisco who specializes in vintage cars. I had him

it down for me.

You know, this is my high school fantasy car.

I know.

That's why I bought it for you.

You bought it for me?

Oh, I love you.

Oh, I love this car.

You know, there was a time in high school I would have done anything for a

in this car.

Anything?

Anything except go out with Buddy Clouser, and he was the only one who had

kind of car.

Let's take a ride.

Go for a ride. What a great idea.

Don't let that peaceful atmosphere fool you.

We've got our own set of rules here.

You break one of them and you're in a lot of trouble.

I do my work.

That should be sufficient.

You're in here for rehabilitation.

You've got a real bad attitude.

Going back to your cell. It's almost light now. Come on.

Wait till tomorrow.

We go back to work and I get to work on you.

I adore your new house.

When you're locked in battle, you take to the high ground.

Have a look at my valley.

Oh, it's not your valley yet.

Angela Channing still controls most of it.

The end of that era is very much in sight. Oh, I admire your confidence.

Some might call it arrogance.

I've never worried about what others think. Oh, I bet you were spoiled as a

child. On the contrary.

No, I simply begin to think of things as mine long before I acquire them. It's

my way of speeding up the process.

Some things are never attainable at any price.

Seems so cold all of a sudden.

Got things on my mind.

I was the only thing on your mind a few minutes ago.

Let's just say that was for old time's sake.

Things change real quick for me these days.

I've made plans for us to go to Acapulco next week.

Take your wife.

I left her for you.

That was your idea, remember?

You're the one who always had to make everything so serious.

Terry, why are you doing this?

Because my sister Maggie's husband has just come into a windfall, suddenly life

is just ripe with possibilities.

Is your sister as cold -hearted as you?

Just the opposite.

A real soft touch.

You'd love her.

Ciao.

Oh.

I'm keeping the ring.

I've earned it.

Chowder, behave yourself.

He doesn't mean any harm.

He's just feisty. I see. I'm afraid I startled him. I'm sorry.

Oh, Chowder knows better than to act up in front of visitors, especially such

pretty ones.

Oh, thank you.

I'm Maggie Giberti. I'm a reporter for the New Globe.

My pleasure.

Thank you. Now, you hear that, Chowder? The pretty lady's from the paper.

I'm out here doing a story on the track. Something with a, you know, human

interest angle.

You find a million stories here at the track.

Well, I'll tell you, I'd settle for just one.

I don't know. Nobody seems to want to talk to me.

Horse folks are tight -lipped.

Some of them.

And your name is, um... Teddy, you bet.

Teddy. Teddy, would you mind if I, um... Be my guest.

Great. So how long have you been working with horses?

Forty years.

Forty? I wanted to be a jockey.

I just could never get past the color line.

But then again, I never could stop growing either.

Anyway, I like being a groom, so everything turned out just fine.

Well, there are not many people who can say that.

Come on.

Let's give Charlie his walk.

I'd love to.

Come on, boy.

Well, I bet you've seen a lot of great horses in the 40 years you've been

working here.

Sure have.

And both of them were stabled right here in Barn 10.

Really? The Lucky Barn.

Seabiscuit, Suave, Citation, Seattle Sleuth. Oh, that's quite a group.

Has racing changed a lot in the years that you've been in it?

It sure has.

In the old days, owners were born... and bred just like their horses.

Today, anyone that's got the money can buy a horse and race it.

Sounds like there's a tax shelter in there somewhere.

Got me up a treat.

The trainer I work for has a contract for a dozen horses.

Half of the owners wouldn't know the front end from the back.

This is a list of the owners, right?

Yeah, that's it.

Oh, now I recognize that name from television. Oh, yeah.

Wait a minute.

Dr. Hal Lantry owns a horse here?

Pablo's Pride.

A three -year -old filly with lead in her boots.

Now that's Dr.

Lantry from the Tuscany Valley.

The same.

Friend of yours?

Of our paths have crossed.

Do a lot of doctors own and race horses?

Like I said, anyone can own a horse. If he's got lots of money or more, where

that came from.

They're going to kill me. And she's just going to stand there and let them.

I don't have anyone else to turn to.

And I'm scared.

Now, don't panic. That's just what they want.

You don't understand.

She hates me.

She's out to get me. She hates Falcon Christ.

I'll take care of Corinne Powers.

Now, you stay out of her way.

a system invented that I can't fight and beat.

It's over.

Let's go.

Goodbye, mother.

Let's go.

What's going on?

Hey, Chase.

It looks like somebody got himself an airplane after all.

Maggie, are you crazy?

You like it?

I love it.

Then I'm not crazy.

What are you two waiting for?

Me to get out, right?

All right, I'm out.

Come on, honey, take me up. You make a sale after all that you I'm going to

I hope so. Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. You need these.

Okay. Thank you.

You two go up and grab yourselves some clouds.

Charlie, that looks lovely.

Well, Mrs. Channing, when you said lunch, I hardly expected all of this.

Please, Arthur, call me Angela.

I felt that a little celebration was in order. After all, we are proceeding with

the hospital wing, aren't we?

That's your decision. We're working on the feasibility study now, which, by the

way, is going to cost us far less than the $100 ,000 you've already given us.

Well, I'm sure you'll put the balance to good use.

I wouldn't quibble over money.

I must say, you have a very interesting sense of economy, Mrs. Janning.

Angela.

Okay.

Of course, one thing might keep me from going forward with the plan.

Oh, what's that?

Well, the hospital has such a wonderful reputation, but there might be a scandal

on the horizon.

Are you referring to Dr. Landry?

Oh, is he the one that's involved?

Well, we really don't think that it's worth being called a scandal at this

point. There have been some questions about his performance.

Well, yes.

Well, I certainly hope you can find the answer.

Because Dr. Landry's been on your staff for a long time, and any reflection on

him would be a reflection on the hospital.

Angela, there might be some repercussions, publicity, that kind of

Well, in that case...

I'm afraid you won't get your wing.

I haven't flown in a plane like that since I was a kid.

What a kick.

Of course, today the emphasis is on speed.

But it's sure a nice feeling to know that Tiger Moth will stay airborne at 50

knots. Now you said you'd be excited.

You knew about this before I did.

Had to tell somebody.

Oh, you.

Well, look, any time you want to go up, let me know. Okay. No, maybe next week,

okay? All right.

So, what's new with Lantry? Anything?

After you called me telling me he owned a racehorse, I decided to do a little

research into his surgical record, get an indication of his income level.

Horse racing can certainly be more expensive than airplanes.

According to the hospital, he didn't earn enough money in surgery last year

support that house in the valley, much less an expensive hobby.

Well, maybe he's independently wealthy.

Either that or he's moonlighting.

In that case, the question is, at what?

They're killing me.

Who are?

All of them.

They hate me.

I need protection.

Isn't there someone you can talk to?

Someone you can tell what's happening?

No.

You see, that would be squealing.

And it would just make it harder on me.

I won't let that happen.

Grandmother won't either.

She's very concerned.

I'll tell you something.

This is one place in the world where my mother's influence doesn't mean a damn.

I'm the only one I can count on.

You can count on me.

You?

No.

No, I can't count on you.

I'm going to tell you something.

They're not going to have the pleasure of killing me.

What are you planning to do?

I don't know.

But they won't kill me.

They won't.

Mother.

Mom!

800, 900, 1 ,000.

Always wondered what the inside of this house looked like.

Well, now you know.

This is for you.

What do I have to do for it?

I want you to make my daughter stay in your prison as pleasant as possible.

I treat all my prisoners the same. I don't care about your other prisoners.

I care about my daughter.

How do I know this isn't a set -up?

Inviting me here to Falcon Crest, offering me money.

You don't.

How many hours do you have to work in that sewer to make a thousand dollars?

A few.

Will you take care of my daughter, and I will see to it that you get $1 ,000

every month.

Okay, Mrs. Channing.

You're in business.

And I mean business.

Now, don't you let me down, or I'll have you charged with soliciting bribes.

I think we'd better take a rest.

I'm okay.

I don't want you exhausted.

Not on our honeymoon.

I'll never be too tired for you.

I feel like a whole new part of my life is beginning.

The best part.

I keep wanting to stop people in the street just to tell them how happy I am.

Just keep telling me.

I'm going to go get some water.

Isn't this a pretty place?

this on your pillow and surprise you, but I cannot wait.

Okay.

Oh, Linda.

It's beautiful.

Turn it over.

To love and respect always.

Linda.

Last words of our wedding vows.

I want us to always feel the same way.

I love you.

What are you trying to do? Get yourself killed?

I've got a flat tire. Can you help me?

I'll call the auto club. Wait.

Please?

I'm in a hurry.

You can change a tire, can't you?

Mrs. Berg, one ricotta cheesecake.

Two dollars, thank you. Who's next?

Mrs. Winters, I got some fresh bread coming out of the oven. Two minute

Excuse me.

Mr. Caproni?

What do you want?

Well, we thought we'd stop in and get acquainted now that we're part of the

family. I'm not part of your family.

And you'll never be part of mine.

I think our children have changed that, Mr. Caproni.

Family comes from here.

All your money can't buy my friendship.

Mr. Caproni, I'm sure your friendship would be much too valuable to put a

on.

I'm not interested.

Why?

Afraid you might find out that you're wrong about us? I'm not wrong.

You're users, just like Angela Channing. You feed off the sweat and labor of

others. Oh, yeah?

You spend a day with me sometime, Mr. Caproni.

Look, you want to buy something, take a number.

If not... I got paying customers.

Come on, we're wasting our time. This was our move, Caproni. The next one's up

to you.

Your son stole my daughter.

Just a minute.

My son did not steal your daughter. They're in love. And if you weren't so

selfish and possessive, you'd realize that.

Get out of my bakery.

We're going.

Let me give you a piece of advice.

You don't change your attitude, you're going to lose your daughter.

I've already lost her.

As far as I'm concerned, she's out of my life. She doesn't have to be. You have

the power to change that.

got something for you to read.

Pretty houses, pretty gardens. They're for you.

I don't want them.

Oh, come on, Duchess.

We have a lot of lost time to make up for.

Why are you being so good to me all of a sudden?

Because I've been too hard on you.

The Jenkins boy in 312 is showing steady improvement.

He's the spontaneous new month or axis case from right in the day before

yesterday.

He's better. I just wish we could say the same for Mrs. Cutler. She's still

critical.

But are there any way I can make this more interesting for you?

I'm sorry, but if we're going to make the rounds together, I need your

attention. I'm sorry. I've got a lot on my mind. I know.

It goes with the territory, being chief of staff, right?

And you're part of it.

What do you mean?

Well, with the question you've been asking about Hal Lantry, it just might

this hospital a $3 million endowment.

And with the scandal brewing, I've suddenly got a very skittish donor on my

hands.

You're talking about one surgeon?

Angela Channing believes in guilt by association.

You mean she's the donor?

Well, now, who else got that kind of money in this county?

Arthur, we need to talk.

Angela has been throwing crumbs, and you are obviously halfway down the garden

path.

Oh, thank you, Charlie.

What in the world are you doing out here with the baby?

Shh, shh, shh.

Joseph was having a nightmare.

It's a shame his mother isn't here when he needs her.

Charlie, take Joseph upstairs.

You can go upstairs to bed now.

You could get a chill out here.

Come along, little one.

It's nice to see you performing like a father.

Joseph and Falcon Crest are the only important things to me now.

Well, it's all well and good to act like a father, but you'll never replace his

mother. I'm not trying to.

You know, Melissa is gone a lot at night lately.

Aren't you curious?

She told me she goes to group therapy sessions three nights a week.

And you believe that?

No, but she thinks I do.

Why do you let her get by with it?

I'm not.

I'm just keeping score.

Not too shabby, Green Pea.

Ben, you like it?

The writing's okay.

What makes you think anyone's going to be interested in this guy's story?

Well, I think Teddy Eubanks represents a lot of people out there. He's a man who

had a dream.

He wasn't able to fulfill it, but it didn't defeat him.

It doesn't do much for me.

Could you be a little more specific?

Why, pick this group.

What about the trainers?

Jockey, see them?

You can find a lot more glamour out at the track than some guy who...

crutches horses' tails.

Well, you see, that's the point, Mr. Delaney.

This is an ordinary man who has a unique outlook on life, and I happen to find

him very interesting and very compelling.

And I'm just, I'm sorry that you don't. If you want something with glamour, I

suppose I could do with Dory on the Rockettes. I understand they're back in

town, or Tori, or... Is this what you call creative differences?

Ask your editor.

The stories he wants to write have no edge.

The thing on Teddy Eubanks?

I think it has. I think it has possibilities.

You're the boss.

Is it the story or the fact that I'm writing it?

Both. Ralph, I know you feel that Maggie was forced on you, but she's an

excellent writer and she'll make us all look good. I've always picked my own

staff. Well, make an exception this time.

She's worth it.

I'll tell you what, Green Pea.

Rework this, make it less sentimental, and bring it around, and I'll have

another look at it.

That's Phil. I will.

Uh, uh, just one other thing. Could you drop the green pea bit?

All right, Joseph, now hide your eyes.

Okay, now open your eyes.

Now, which hand is the block in?

This one.

Well... Oh, come on in, Philip. Which hand is it?

That one.

Look here.

Oh, I win.

Now, come on, take your block, and you run along with Charlie. Did you see my

new game?

No, just a lesson in life.

How close are you to Richard Channing?

I beg your pardon.

Is that why you called me all the way out here?

I want to do something about that windfall that he and Chase are coming

There is a loophole.

Jacqueline's will stipulates that they get the $50 million only if Chase feels

that Richard is his real friend.

Well, we'll have to do something to see that that doesn't happen.

I already have one foot inside Richard's store. By all means, go all the way.

Make yourself indispensable.

Excuse me, Mrs. Channing, but Dr. Hooks is here to see you.

Oh? Well, send him in.

Good news on the lantry front?

I hope so.

Doctor!

Mrs. Channing?

Dr. Hooks, how are you?

Won't you sit down?

No, thank you. This will be brief.

When are we going to break ground for the new hospital wing?

Not as soon as I'd hoped, I'm afraid.

The planning takes quite some time, Philip.

It's not the planning, Mrs. Channing.

It's Dr. Landry.

Oh? Is there a problem?

Well, it could have been worse if I had fallen for your ploy.

What is this?

Well, I think that's obvious. I'm returning your $100 ,000.

But you're throwing away millions.

I can't be bought.

Oh, you should know. I've turned over all the hospital records to Chase

and Michael Ranson.

And they both have my blessing to climb down Hal Lantry's throat, if necessary,

to get to the bottom of this thing.

Oh, a lawyer would be a good idea.

Somebody might get hurt.

Have a nice day.

Who are you calling?

Albright.

He's the chairman of the board of that hospital. Now, if anybody's going to get

hurt around here, it's going to be Arthur Hooks.

Duchess, why don't you take a break once in a while? I already had my break.

Well, take another one.

Besides, I've got something that might help pass the time quicker.

How come you're so good to me?

Well, like I told you, we're friends.

Keep it.

Thanks. I guess I owe you one, huh?

You did that on purpose.

Your Duchess could.

It was an accident.

I am going to get you.

Keep away from me.

That's right. Keep her away.

I'm a dangerous woman and I've got friends in high places.

We'll see about that.

Julia.

You're going to have to be careful.

Corrine ain't going to be around all the time to protect you. What makes you so

sure?

Experience.

Trust me.

Experience.

Hey, fellas, would you put that in the master bedroom for now?

Thank you.

Hi, neighbor.

Welcome. Hello, neighbor.

Hi. Well,

did everything arrive from Baltimore in one piece? So far, I'm not sure I've got

enough to fill this whole house.

It's okay. We've got all these great little antique stores in the valley, and

you'll just finish it in no time. I hope you're hungry. We put together a little

gourmet treat here. Great. I'm starved. I just happen to have an oak tree over

here. Perfect. This will be perfect.

Well, while you've been lounging around your new estate, I've been doing some

digging. Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Our friend Lantry, besides owning a racehorse, also

owns an expensive condo in Hawaii.

I'll say this for Lanter, he sure knows how to live well. Well beyond his

income.

But he doesn't own the condo on his own. He bought it with someone named

Ackerman.

Neil Ackerman?

Yeah, that's it. Do you know him?

Yeah, he's the pharmacist at the hospital.

Isn't that a rather interesting coincidence that they own a condo

Maybe they wanted a drugstore with a view. Who knows?

Sounds funny to me.

Yeah, well, something's going on.

I'm going to find out what it is.

What's this?

Skip lunch.

I didn't want you to miss dinner as well.

I see you've ordered for two.

Of course.

And lasting and trusting relationships.

To lucrative business affiliations.

Shall we eat?

Calamari fruity.

My favorite.

How did you know?

It's my job to know.

Excellent. Thank you.

And the shepherd Parolis thanks you too.

Melissa and I had dinner there the other night.

No. I thought I detected a slight disturbance at the mention of Melissa.

She may be a valuable instrument for achieving your goals, but if I were you,

would treat her like a missile test site, you know? Best enjoyed at a

I think you're misjudging Melissa.

She lacks conscience.

So do most of the people in my life, including you.

The difference is I work for you.

She works for herself.

The real difference is Melissa is willing to work after hours.

What do you mean you're going to resign?

I got an offer from a new facility in San Diego. I couldn't turn it down.

You're not leaving for more money, Arthur.

Why not?

I told you this chief of staff job was temporary.

Come on, Arthur.

I know you. There's more to it than that. What is it?

Oh, I'm just not cut out for administrative work.

You're a great chief of staff.

Well, you might think so.

But others don't.

They fired you?

Michael, I just can't play their games.

And when I returned the Angela Channing donation and cut the string she'd

attached, boy, it came down on me hard.

Sorry to hear that.

Well, knowing you, I imagine you gave them as good as you got, though.

You might say I left the room with my pride intact.

I'm sure the ears are probably still ringing.

Well, what do you think they're going to do now?

What they need is a man who is politically adept, someone who has good

connections in the community, a man with a prestigious medical background,

someone preferably from back east, say, Baltimore.

Ah, oh, no.

Yes. No.

I am no administrator.

Michael, look at it this way.

If you take on the job as chief of staff, you can dig as deeply as you like

Lantry's connection with Angela Channing.

Think about it.

Be at the winery. Okay.

Who the devil is that?

Well, now I don't recognize the car.

Terry! Maggie!

Come give your sister a big hug.

Now, how about something really nice for my brother -in -law?

All right.

Hey, you can do better than that.

This is some spread.

I think I'm going to like it here.

you
