Look like a pretty good swimmer.

I'm even better when I'm not confined by this stupid bathing suit.

Don't threaten me.

I'm not threatening you, Mrs. Canning. You are both in this with me up to your

neck. You know, we could settle a lot of things right now, Cole.

Tried that before.

There's no room for negotiating this. I'm not negotiating, John. You don't

negotiate with those clowns. Dan, you can't be serious.

Then Mr. Lantry promptly vanished.

I don't know.

Thank you, Charlie.

Gathering rosebuds while you may.

Aren't they beautiful?

Botanical phenomena are fascinating, Angela, but we have serious problems.

Oh? Did you get some information about Maggie's sister?

Terry Hartford's the least of our problems.

Dr. Lantry is considering turning state's evidence.

How do you know?

I was just down at the courthouse.

The DA feels confident that with Lantry's testimony, he can bring charges

against the hospital pharmacist who was the key man in Lantry's operation.

Well, what's the problem?

The ship is sinking and the rats are going down with it. The problem is that

Lantry could implicate us in his attempted murder of Chase Gioberti.

Now, you don't think the district attorney is going to take the word of an

admitted drug dealer against mine, do you?

You did pressure Lantry into incapacitating Chase.

I only wanted him to declare Chase incompetent of handling Falcon Crest

Yes, but Lantry went too far, and he almost killed Chase.

I can see how a jury might be convinced of a murder conspiracy.

Well, if that's the case, then we'll...

Have to do something about Lantry.

What can we do at this point?

You will make sure that the good doctor never makes it to trial.

Thank you. Breakfast.

That was long.

I thought you might enjoy a break from the routine around here.

I think you just enjoyed a break from my cooking.

Some lawyers, they're asking for depositions.

Cole is suing Lance and Melissa for custody.

Do you know anything about this? Oh, quit now, honey. I would have told you

knew anything.

You're still here. Are you coming up to the winery? We're bottling today.

Yeah, but I can wait.

What's this all about?

You know how I feel about Joseph being up at Falcon Crest?

Cole, do you know what you're up against with all this?

The lawyers say the odds are pretty slim, but it's a chance.

I think it's worth it.

I'm not talking about the legal battle. I'm talking about Angela and Lance and

Melissa. Honey, it's just that... What am I supposed to do? Give up before the

battle's even begun?

No, of course not.

Look, my mind's already made up.

But without you, without your help and support, regardless of how much I want

Joseph, then I really don't stand a chance.

We're all in this together, then at least I've got a shot.

My, my.

The joys of family life.

Yes, we do have our joys and our responsibilities to one another.

Terry, I think it would be best if you just stayed out of this, okay?

Don't worry.

It all sounds far too steamy for me.

It's a very good article. It really is.

A series of these will tell our readers more about the sport of kings than the

average man learns in a lifetime.

Or the average woman.

Are you really that interested in the fledgling journalistic probings of

Jay Betty that you'd consider a series of these articles?

Why not?

We've got to fill the feature pages up with something.

Maggie's all right.

She works cheap.

Editorial salaries are not the issue.

That's true.

But employing Maggie keeps Chase guessing. He doesn't know what I'm up

Maggie's articles can only help to heighten the public's interest.

In an endeavor that will soon tear the Tuscany Valley apart like carrion being

savaged by packs of hyenas.

Very poetic.

What does this all have to do with our work here at the New Globe?

The New Globe's going to support the racetrack.

But with the complex I'm going to build, I might even sell off the New Globe.

You wouldn't give all this up for some speculative venture, would you? Why not?

Maybe I'll give it all to you in return for the intimate favors you guard so

closely. Is that an offer?

So you can be bought.

Well, now that we've established our marketplace, why can't we haggle the

later?

You've just talked yourself out of a true bargain, Mr. Channing.

Make an appointment for me to meet with Chase at his office.

What do you think you're doing?

Hi, come on in. The water's fine.

You act like you belong here.

Well, I heard the Giobertis have half interest in everything around here, so I

thought I'd try out the swimming facilities.

Huh.

You know, just because they control half the Falcon Crest doesn't mean they're

going to move into our house.

Don't be such a stuffed shirt.

to use one half of the pool.

Would you bear to use half?

That's fine with me.

Don't be ridiculous. You know, you got some kind of nerve.

So I've heard.

I must warn you, though, my grandmother might not think it's too cute.

The older generation has no sense of humor.

Look like a pretty good swimmer.

I'm even better when I'm not confined by this stupid bathing suit.

Oh my.

Boz will be posting Lantry's bail in 30 minutes.

Thanks.

I'll be right back.

Well, Terry.

Hello, Mrs. Channing.

I haven't seen you since the party at Richard's house.

How have you been?

Fine, thank you.

And why don't you call me Angela?

Angela. Great.

Did you have a nice swim?

The water's a little too warm for a serious workout, but it was fine, thank

Well, I'll just have to have Charlie adjust the thermostat.

Oh, and perhaps you'd like to join me for tea tomorrow?

I'd love to.

Have a nice day.

Either you're the first person to charm my grandmother, or she wants something

from you.

Oh, I think I can handle her.

I hope you gave her a good piece of your mind.

In the game of cat and mouse, Philip, the cat's first objective is to let the

mouse think he's really going to survive.

That dossier you requested on was being sent up here this afternoon.

Oh, good.

It's very impressive. You must have spent a lot of money.

I am not going to spare any expense to put this valley on the map.

We're already on the map as the country's premier winemaking region.

Chase, I'm talking about something exciting.

Thoroughbred Racetrack.

It'll be just the economic shot in the arm these people need.

Look at this.

It's going to be located right next to the state highway.

Hundreds of thousands of people will come up here from San Francisco. New

new blood. You'll be sitting in the middle of a boom town.

I don't think I've ever seen you quite so enthusiastic about anything.

I've never been so enthusiastic about anything.

Chase, it's a natural.

Well, a lot of what you say may be true.

It would bring in money.

New blood.

But natural?

I don't think so.

The last thing the Tuscany Valley needs is a racetrack.

Think of all the public projects you could finance from parimutuel betting

alone.

But from the first settlers, this has been an agricultural area. It's a

for vineyards.

Ideal soil, ideal climate.

This.

a lot of money sunk in this.

I can see that, and I'm sorry, but I just can't support this.

Well, I was hoping you wouldn't make this a personal thing between

us.

I'm acting in my capacity as the county supervisor. Our relationship has nothing

to do with this.

Good.

We'll just forget all about being brothers or friends and make it strictly

business. But I'm warning you.

I'm going to do everything I can to fulfill the potential of this valley.

Fine.

You give it your best shot.

I'll fight it every step of the way, brother.

7014 Outpost Road.

Hello, Dr. Lantry.

What the devil are you doing here?

If you don't mind, we have to make a stop before I take you home.

I most certainly do mind. I can

understand

how you must feel, Dr. Lantry.

Not many people could afford your bill.

So you're telling me that you posted it, huh?

We thought we would make an investment in you.

I would hate to see a man of your sensitivity in a place like the county

Oh, boy, you are incredible.

You're the one who put me there.

Well, that was my civic duty.

But now, as your friend, I would like to help you.

Look, Mrs. Channing, I don't like being toyed with.

We thought you might enjoy a warmer climate for your health. And for yours.

Health is a community concern.

All doctors know that.

Let me put it this way, Dr. Landry.

I can provide you with a passport and one -way transportation to points south.

Are you serious?

Do you want me to run?

Rio is a beautiful place this time of year.

Oh, I get it.

You're both panicked, aren't you?

Afraid I'm going to drag you down at my trial, aren't you?

Don't threaten me.

I'm not threatening you, Mrs. Channing. This is a promise.

Ackerman supplied me from the hospital pharmacy, but you blackmailed me into

overdosing Chase Gilberti.

You are both in this with me up to your necks. I only wanted you to sign the

papers. No one told you to kill him.

What happens to Mrs.

Channing is open to speculation, but the one sure thing is that you're going to

jail. You're a doctor who sells drugs to his patients and exploits young people

for his own greed.

Well, I am Angela Channing. No jury would ever convict her.

Think about my offer, doctor.

Do I have a choice?

I saw you and Terry together at the pool.

Pretty good swimmer, huh?

Lance, I am carrying your child.

Do I have to get Angela to make you treat me with some respect?

Oh, God. I'm showing you the same kind of respect that you and Richard show me,

all right?

I told you, I'm only biding my time with him. The day will come when you and I

are both going to need him on our side.

Is that right? And what day is that, Melissa?

The day the aggreded crops are finally harvested. That's when Richard and

will both come crawling to me.

You know, I always thought you were fairly bright, but you're not, are you?

As soon as Angela suspects that you're going to deal with Richard, she'll

you like a bug.

What I'm having trouble with in this whole thing is Joseph and those pills.

Well, it's a problem.

Lance bought them from Lantry and left them out. The baby grabbed them in a

bottle from this hospital.

I even checked the lot number for the pharmaceutical house.

Then there must be a connection between Lantry, the pharmacist he was working

with, and... Yeah, Ackman and Falcon Crest.

Question.

Is Lance a drug user?

No.

He's a lot of things, but he's not a drug addict. I would never stand for

She admitted he bought pills from Lantry, though.

I know.

Our only chance of getting the truth is Lantry himself.

No way. He's not going to cooperate. He's been stonewalling this whole thing.

And we've got to start tearing down that stone wall.

You know, Maggie, I was talking to Richard.

Yeah?

He's so impressed with your writing. The article was such a hit that he wants

more.

You must be quite an expert on horse racing.

I don't know.

I think Richard is patronizing me.

Knowing Richard, I doubt it.

Ah, maybe I'm just being insecure.

You know, Maggie, that's what I've always admired about you.

The fact that you've always been honest with yourself.

Well, thank you.

I try.

Sometimes it's a little painful, but I do try.

That's what they taught me in Houston.

Honest self -evaluation.

I've been just having trouble making contact with people.

I'm just feeling a little lonely. That's all.

I don't want to be. I want to have fun. I want to have somebody to be with, like

you have changed.

Oh, Emma, you will. I promise you. You just... One day it'll just happen.

Somebody will just be there.

Maggie, you are so perceptive.

You've met somebody, haven't you?

Oh, come on.

You bet I have.

Michael Ransom.

Dr. Michael Ransom.

Are you serious?

Isn't he the most gorgeous thing you've ever seen? That boy?

Does he have any idea how you feel about him?

Well, not yet, but I was thinking, wouldn't it be just perfect if you and

Chase were to have, well, something like a little dinner or something?

Michael and I were both there and we had a chance to talk to each other. I mean,

wouldn't it be absolutely perfect?

Why don't you just mind your own business, huh?

Julia, I'm worried about you.

Girl, if you don't get yourself together in this place, they're going to tear

you apart piece by piece.

I'm getting along just fine.

Not any help from you.

Oh, really?

Why don't you just take a good look at yourself in the mirror, Bella?

Hey, beautiful.

I never felt better in my whole life.

And you and I both know why, don't we?

Julia, Corrine is sucking you in.

She's protecting me. She's taking care of me. Oh, the hell she is.

I just don't want to see you go down the tubes.

All right.

I've had enough of you harassing everybody.

Your tier time is suspended.

You can't do that to me.

Sooner or later, you're going to realize who's in charge around here.

Relax, honey.

Your mother sent the check right on time this month.

Brandy?

Look, it's empty.

You said my mother paid you in advance. You're right.

And you deserve something real good.

These are a lot better than cheap liquor.

And I think you'll like them.

This must be quite a contrast to your lifestyle in New York.

Different, all right.

Almost like another planet.

Are we that strange?

It's just that everybody out here is so nice.

Oh, well, then you approve.

I can see why Chase and Maggie decided to stay.

Who knows?

I may never leave.

Well, your sister and my nephew really have no place in the valley.

Why do you say that?

They look pretty successful to me.

Well, look beneath the surface of things, Terry.

Such as what Cole has done.

The paternity suit?

Yeah, I heard about that.

Sounds messy. Oh, it's absolutely ridiculous, and I want to put a stop to

Maybe you should talk to Cole.

He feels strongly about it.

Oh, I don't have to talk to Cole.

I'm talking to you.

I'm afraid I don't understand.

Oh, really?

You mean we're too subtle way out here?

Or should I talk to you in street vernacular?

Now, wait just a minute. I don't wait for anything or anyone.

Now, you'll do as I say, or you'll find yourself back in a Park Avenue hotel

lobby where you came from.

I think I've had enough tea. A high school dropout.

A series of menial jobs for several years.

I had an affair with an older man who provided you with social contacts and a

taste for the good life.

How did you get this?

I have a very good attorney, and you'll find him most charming and thorough to a

fault. This is an invasion of my privacy.

Some people's private lives become very public.

Now, you can try to pass yourself off as the innocent little sister of Maggie

Gioberti.

But I know what you really are.

A working girl.

You can't prove that.

Oh, yes, I can. I have all of the proof I need.

But don't you think that the accusation is enough?

What do you want from me?

That's what I thought.

You're an opportunist, aren't you?

Dan?

What are you guys doing here?

We want to see Lantry about these.

And about the story Angela wove around them the day you brought him in.

Well, if you guys see Lantry, I'd sure like to know where.

I'd like nothing better than getting my hands on him right about now. What are

you talking about?

He made bail a little less than 24 hours ago.

Who posted it?

Some sleazy bondsman from the city. Then Mr. Lantry promptly vanished.

Dan, you can't be serious.

The FDA's issued an arrest warrant.

Without Lantry, there's no way to prove that Angela had anything to do with what

happened to him in the hospital.

She is slipping through our fingers.

Now, wait a minute.

Who said anything about Angela being mixed up in all this?

Let's talk.

Damn thing.

Damn thing.

The child consumed the tablets from this bottle.

Where'd you get this?

Lance got it from the nurse when they brought the child in.

You sure Angela's behind Landry?

Maybe.

I'm not sure what to think, Dan. I know we don't have all the answers. We are

sure of one thing, Dan. Chase almost died at the hands of Dr. Landry.

It's true.

The hospital did a very good job of keeping quiet about it, too.

Sure, Arthur Hooks did the best thing he could for the hospital. After all,

medical error doesn't constitute crime unless it's deliberate.

Easy, boy. You're making noises like a detective again.

I'm beginning to feel Angela's guilty again.

Yeah, well, the last time you went after her, she was innocent.

And we did find a Grady's killer.

I mean, I hate to bring you back to Earth, but as long as Lantry's not

be questioned, you don't stand a chance of proving your conspiracy theory.

Well, you know me. I'll keep digging.

Terrific. You're really hooked on those things, aren't you, Dan?

It's heartburn, you know. It goes with the territory. Not the way to handle

stress.

How long has it been since you played tennis?

I don't think my memory goes back that far, but I'm going to schedule a game

next year whether I need it or not.

Okay, I haven't played much lately. How about me?

Oh, gee, thanks, Doc. I'd love to, but I've got a million things to do here.

So do them today.

We'll have a little workout tomorrow.

Okay, you got me. Public courts tomorrow morning? What time? Nine o 'clock. You

got it.

Don't forget.

Okay.

I'm sorry I didn't call first.

What's wrong?

It's Lantry.

Instead of returning quietly to his house as I instructed him, he rushed

the Tuscany Valley Bank and began closing all his personal and

accounts. Oh, that fool.

The DA's office got wind of it and ordered him returned to custody.

My people barely managed to get him in time.

Where is he now?

In a roadside motel somewhere between here and the city.

Is he safe?

It's way out in the middle of nowhere.

And it's not the kind of place where the death clerk knows your name.

Don't worry.

He'll be on that plane just as soon as that passport is ready.

But you make sure you get him out of my hair.

Need a lift?

No, thanks. Just going up to the winery. Come on. I'll give you a ride.

No, really. I like the walk.

You sure one of those guys likes to do his own thing, huh?

You should be able to appreciate that. Oh, I do, I do.

I just hate to see you making so many mistakes.

Like what?

Oh, this baby thing, for instance.

You know, you really should stop and think about what you're doing.

This baby thing means a lot to me.

I've got a son I want.

There's no end to the male ego, is there? Ego has nothing to do with it.

mine.

I love him, Terry.

The longer Joseph spends up at Falcon Crest, the tougher it's going to be for

him in the long run.

Cole, listen to your dear old aunt for a minute, okay?

If you take that little guy away from his mother now, what's that going to be

like for him?

Linda could be more of a mother to him than Melissa's ever been.

Well, I just wonder what the powers that be up at Falcon Crest are going to

think about this.

From what I've seen of Angela Channing, I sure wouldn't want to go up against

her. You know, if you push her too hard, that baby's bound to feel some

emotional pressure in that house.

It wouldn't dare.

That is very sweet.

But you're obligating her to raise another woman's child.

Is that fair?

What's the matter?

You don't look any happier than you sounded over the phone.

You got problems, Richard.

What's new?

Nothing can be handled, I'm sure.

I got a few calls today from associates of mine in New York, Amsterdam,

Brussels.

Great vines buzzing.

What about?

Your debt to the company did not die with Henri, do you know?

His successors and your mother's, they...

I want to amend their agreement with you.

I'll bet.

They know about the racetrack?

There isn't much the cartel doesn't know, is there?

What do they want, a percentage?

What do they want? Ten, fifteen percent?

One hundred percent.

Yeah, they want it all, absolute control.

of my dead body.

You told him what I'd say to that, didn't you?

There's no room for negotiating this. I'm not negotiating, John.

You don't negotiate with those clowns. And nobody, nobody pulls my strings.

Now, you tell him that.

When Dinalto, my mother, died, it was over.

Finally over.

That's it. You tell him that. All bets are off. No deals.

Look, Richard, give this some time. Think about it. I've thought about it.

Nobody's ever gotten out of the company without paying for it. You're not free

until they say you're free. You think they're ever going to say I'm free?

Or you're free.

Freedom's where you take it, John. I'm taking mine.

Look, I don't have to tell you. These people are ruthless. They're accustomed

getting what they want. You know what they want?

They want the fruits of my labor. That's what they want. They want my hard work.

That's right.

And feeling that, they want you back.

Never.

Great dinner followed by a great floor show.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Hold the applause. All I ask is that you eat this slowly.

It took me four hours to pit these cherries.

Did you know that Michael is single -handedly responsible for Chase's

from his gunshot wound?

Yes, I understand he's quite the hero.

Well, in a case like that, the patient's the hero.

Oh, you're too humble.

Anyone... who's a general thoracic surgeon with a second specialty in

neurosurgery and who's done almost ten years of research, well, anybody would

proud to call that man a member of their family.

Thank you, Emma.

And we are.

I bet you could cure anything, from a brain tumor to a bad back.

Well, every case is different, Emma.

Speaking of bad backs...

Do you think I could have pulled a muscle swimming?

Well, Bex can be very tricky.

You might see a doctor.

I'd love to.

When are you free?

Um, everyone, you're not eating your cherries, do you believe? There's plenty

more here, so don't be shy.

Yes, let's not be shy.

You can't do this to me.

You can't do this to me. Valerie!

Where are you taking her?

This doesn't concern you. Where are they taking her?

Stop them!

They're going to kill me! Stop them, please!

She's just been a bad girl. She needs one night in isolation. Don't worry,

you'll see her in the morning. In the morning? Yeah.

Valerie! Hey, you should relax.

Try one of these.

Where are the white ones? I couldn't get them, but these red ones are good.

Drive carefully. Good night.

Well, I can understand most things about you, Terry.

Your lack of enthusiasm for housework, your rudeness to me.

But I'll tell you, I cannot comprehend your complete insensitivity to somebody

as loving and trusting as Emma.

I think Emma's darling.

Is that why you insisted on flirting with Michael when you know she's

infatuated with him? Oh, come on. Was I flirting with anyone?

Sounds like a fairly accurate description to me.

You've got to be kidding. He's old enough to be my father.

Yeah, I noticed.

He's pretty cute, though, isn't he?

Don't you care about anybody but yourself?

Don't you have any idea how you made Emma feel tonight?

Honestly, I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings.

Especially Emma's.

She's so sweet.

Well, whether you meant to or not, you did.

And you also made Michael feel very uncomfortable.

I hope this isn't your idea of humor.

You don't really think he'd be attracted to her, do you?

never did this for a living?

Just lucky.

5 -1. Change sides.

I gotta have a drink.

You all right?

Just need a towel. All right, let's take a break here.

Good morning.

Good morning, Chase.

How's the game going?

Lousy. Going okay?

I won't ask who's winning.

Please don't.

I've just come from the computer room at your office.

We checked all the airlines, domestic and foreign, not a sign.

It's as though Landry's fallen off the face of the earth. Well, force of

prevents that. He'll show up.

Well, it's just I hate to see so much time go by.

Speaking of that, I'm due at the winery. You guys have a good game. Okay, see

you later.

Okay. How do you feel?

I think I got enough for one more.

Into the breach, huh?

Okay.

Jake! Bring your car around. Let's get him to the hospital.

I'd like to admit you for some further studies, Dan.

I feel fine now.

It's cramp out there, that's all. No, cramps don't put you on the deck like

that.

I could run some tests on you and have you out first thing in the morning.

Well, thanks for the concern, Doc, but I got a department to run. I haven't got

time. When was your last physical?

I don't know.

A couple of years ago, maybe.

What about those, um...

Departmental exams. You, uh... You been avoiding those lately?

Yeah.

All right.

I want you to come back this week. I want to give you a full upper and lower

series. For your own good.

It's just heartburn. Maybe it's all this stuff.

What some guys won't do to take the edge off my tennis game.

I'll see you guys later. I've got to get back to the office. Thank you.

Well, come on. I'll give you a lift.

Some of the finest vineyards in the world are down there.

Soon to be the turf of the pounding hooves of racehorses.

My racetrack is going to be right down there.

Just a stone's throw from Falcon Crest. You're bound to have some opposition

from the local citizenry.

Those yokels don't know the meaning of progress.

I'm going to teach it to them.

I would hardly call Chase Gioberti a yokel, whatever that may be,

when he's on the board of supervisors.

Even if he could interfere with the popular political processes with which I

will circumvent him, his seat on that board is only one among many.

Are there others you can compromise?

If I can't, I'm sure you can't. My abilities aren't in question.

It's Chase I'm worried about.

If you antagonize him, you lose your inheritance, all 25 million.

Compared to what I could take out of a race jack in just four years, 25 million

is a bitness.

After what Osborne told you, I mean, how dare you defy the company's interest in

all this?

Well, they're just trying to bully me.

They'll go away in time.

Richard, you haven't worked with a company for the last few years. I mean,

you've forgotten the degree of sincerity with which they do their business and

make their demands.

They really do intimidate you, don't they?

When I was with the Brussels office, I fell in love with a French businessman.

When the company found out our plans to marry, they told Armand to leave the

country.

He refused.

He defied them.

One day, one day he slipped and fell onto the tracks of the metro.

He was killed instantly.

I'm sorry.

unfortunate accident.

Armand had a limousine. He never took the metro. It was no accident, Richard.

Then I'm curious as to why you've stayed with the company.

I took this job because I knew it was my only chance to get out from under them.

But this bold defiance is not the way to do it. Let them have their racetrack.

They're too powerful.

Power belongs to those who take it.

That sounds great.

Glad you came by.

I thought you'd be ready for lunch. I am.

So how'd it go with your father this morning?

Showed him the papers.

How'd he react?

Not so great.

He thinks you're just asking for more trouble with everyone up at Falcon

Um, about Joseph.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about things.

And maybe it's time to get on with my life.

You're not going to give up, are you?

I'm just going to stop beating my head up against the wall.

We'll have our own family someday.

There's a little child up at Falcon Crest.

A young, innocent little boy who wants and needs to be held.

Who needs to be loved by someone who cares.

That someone is you, Cole.

And I'll be there right beside you.

You are pretty tough, aren't you? Yeah.

So who do you think you are?

What's the problem, pal?

This.

From your lawyers.

They write nice letters, don't they?

Yeah, they can write all the letters your inheritance will buy, Cole, but the

facts won't change.

Joseph is my son.

That'll be up to a court to decide.

Why don't you take this home to Grandma?

You know, we could settle a lot of things right now, Cole.

I tried that before.

Remember? Cole.

Round two is going to be different.

I'll see you in court.

I sure like having you around for lunch. Thank you. I like being around for

lunch. That's one of the nice things about doing this article on the horse he

said. I get out of the city and... I want to talk to you, Chase.

Well, perhaps we could meet back here in an hour. It won't wait. I'm afraid

it'll have to. Maggie and I are having lunch. Now, don't let your inheritance

to your head, young man.

Excuse me, I'm going to get the car, darling. I'll be there in a minute. That

sounds like some kind of a threat. It'll be more than a threat if Cole continues

this paternity suit. Ah, no, no, no, no. You know, your legal problems with Cole

are not my concern. I want him to drop it.

Now, if he doesn't, I will sue your entire family for emotional pain,

and harassment.

That's not the issue between us, and you know it.

Sure, you can set up a pretty heavy smoke screen, but you'll never

the relationship between you and Dr. Lantry.

I hardly know the man.

Really? Well, there certainly have been a lot of unexplained coincidences,

haven't there?

The declaration of my incapacity that he signed and you took to court.

The pills that somehow found their way from the hospital pharmacy to your

You really are paranoid, aren't you?

Am I?

Or are you simply a woman who'll do anything, and I mean anything, to get

own way?

Harry, what brings you down here?

I stopped by your office.

They said you wouldn't be in until later.

Oh, I have afternoon hours all day today.

Don't tell me you're an artist.

No, I was just, um, just setting this old vineyard over here.

What's a doctor know about vineyards? Not very much.

Know a little bit about physics, though. I thought I might rebuild the

irrigation system.

Something to get my hands into, you know.

Wouldn't want to hurt these hands now, would we?

You know, my back is still so stiff.

Your pulse is a little fast, but I don't think you have any blood pressure

problems. Well, it has its ups and downs.

Bad backs create a lot of different symptoms.

Have you had any trouble sleeping lately?

Anything like that?

Only when I'm thinking about you, Michael.

Anything for a laugh, huh?

Well, I'm only trying to show you how I feel, Michael.

Can't help it if I'm drawn to you.

You're the only one around here with any real warmth, any feelings.

That's not true.

You're just misinterpreting things, Terry Ansel.

It's just that nobody really cares.

Not really.

I need to be held, Michael.

Won't you hold me?

Please?

Yeah.

Is that better?

Getting better?

Who's joking?

This all seems rather a nuisance. It's the only way to keep the tourists out.

Thanks, John.

Were you expecting someone?

No, John. I was going to meet me up here.

He's still in the car.

Oh, that's silly. I told him to go in and make himself comfortable.

John, what are you doing?

Come on in and have a drink.

Hey, old man, you'll burn up in there. Come on.

John?

John?

My God.
