Not an inmate missing, Julia Compton.

Loyalty to Richard Channing will cost you your life.

What do you want me to do?

You're just upset because Richard has dumped you.

Get out.

Get out of here!

You'd better start looking for another lawyer, because I'm through.

I went over to the hospital already this morning. I wanted to see the results of

the brain scan.

How bad is it, Michael?

Thank you.

Michael, have you seen Maggie? I got a call. Yeah, she's inside. I was just

going to go see her. What happened? I'm not sure. Evidently, she fell down the

stairs of my house.

You can ask Terry. She was there.

Dr. Cope, please call the cath lab.

Dr. Jerome Cope, call the cath lab.

Chase, I am so sorry about what happened. What did happen?

I don't know.

One minute we were standing there talking, and the next thing I know,

lost her balance and fell.

Down the stairs?

With you standing there, unable to help? I tried.

I bet.

I'd never do anything to hurt her.

Except that nonsense you told Michael about me making a pass at you. I only

it because it's true.

I never came on to you in my life.

Maybe not in so many words, but you were certainly interested.

The only thing I was interested in was getting you out of my house.

And I understand why.

If Maggie'd ever left us alone, who knows what might have happened.

You flatter yourself.

X -ray technician on call. Please call the emergency room.

X -ray technician.

Call the emergency room. Chase, Maggie would like to see you.

Hi. Oh, darling.

I feel like such a dummy.

It's amazing I didn't break every bone in my body. As long as you're all right.

Oh, I'm sorry to drag you down here like this. No, no, no, no.

What happened?

Well, I went up to talk to Terry to try to get her to stop telling these lies to

Michael and... Well, wait a minute, wait a minute. I'm the champion of lost

causes in this family. Just lay off.

You're right. We're right. You see, what happens when I try to usurp your role?

I didn't push you, did you? No, no, no, honey, nothing like that. I know what

you're thinking. I don't know what happened. I just, uh, I just got dizzy

fell.

How are you feeling now?

Fine.

Good. I'm going to take you to dinner.

You are?

Yeah. Oh, Michael, can I go out to dinner?

You can go to dinner.

But those tests we talked about, I want you back here for a complete workout.

Is it really necessary?

Meanwhile, I'll make arrangements for the meeting.

Melissa, we're glad you're home.

Where's Joseph?

He's asleep, where you should be.

I want to see him. Tomorrow.

Tonight, you rest.

I want to see him now.

Melissa, will you please relax and rest?

Charlie, warm up some milk for her.

It'll help you sleep

I

Want to see my mom

I Bet you couldn't wait to tell her I'd lost the baby.

I Didn't have to because she already knew about a month ago

When Richard told her that you were carrying his baby and not mine.

He was lying.

The baby was ours.

I know that.

He was only trying to torment my mother.

And me.

Melissa.

You must know how much I wanted that baby our baby.

It's too late for your artificial sentiments.

You're just upset because Richard has dumped you. Get out.

Get out of here!

Melissa?

It's arrived by messenger from the Racing Commission.

I didn't know you carried a gun.

Neither does anyone else.

It should come in handy in underground garages.

Do you think it'll deter the cartel?

Surprise is everything.

Yes, it certainly is.

What are you doing for lunch?

I have a lot of work to catch up on. Oh, I can wait.

And what about the press conference?

It's tomorrow.

Which gives me enough time today to take care of all the details you requested.

I think you should read this.

More forms to fill out.

What?

According to this, any race with a purse over $100 ,000 has to be cleared with

them six weeks in advance.

When is this due?

Tomorrow.

Dear brother, you make sure we comply. I don't want them tripping us up with any

more technicalities.

What about lunch?

I have to go on this right away if we're going to make opening day.

Anything else you need for the press conference?

Make sure you're there.

I got your summons.

So if you have something to say, why not come right to the point?

I want you to leave the Tuscany Valley immediately.

How could you?

By the end of the day, or did you want me to be quick about it?

The end of the day would be fine.

Whatever happened to our arrangement?

I warned you to stay away from Lance.

Well, I didn't realize he needed a note from his grandmother.

But I think you should know Angela.

I'm not leaving.

Now, don't make me do something that you'll be sorry for.

Look, I'm tired of your threats.

If you want to say something to Michael, go right ahead.

It'll simply be your word against mine.

I can find my own way out.

I'm sure you can.

Hello, this is Angela Channing.

Has Kate Morris checked in yet?

Then you've spoken with Terry's friend from New York.

I'm having tea with her tomorrow.

You're sure she's the right one?

You said you wanted someone who could tell all about Terry's past.

That's all I need to know.

Good.

Then maybe you can finally tell me what I need to know.

Why are you holding me at such an arm's length? Oh, let's not start that again.

I'm not going to be denied my own feelings, Angela.

You know we both want the same thing.

What makes you so sure?

Because you feel something for me.

I've seen it in your eyes.

Remember, I know you as no one else does.

You haven't let anyone be close to you since Douglas.

And he was foolish enough to hurt you.

That's right.

And I won't expose myself to that kind of pain again.

What makes you think that loving me in return could possibly hurt you?

This?

I don't understand.

It's very nice.

It even has my initials on it. What's it got to do with us?

You don't remember where you lost it? Angela, I've never seen this before in

life. You have no memory of spending the night with Jacqueline Perrault at the

Tate Hotel?

Of course not.

How could you possibly suggest such a thing? Because that's where I found it.

the floor next to her bed.

Oh, that's what's behind all this.

You actually believe I betrayed you?

I believe what I see.

Angela, I asked you to marry me, but that implies trust.

If you believe Jacqueline Perrault's word over mine, then we have nothing to

talk about.

And while you're busy insulating yourself with paranoid fantasies of

broken heart...

You'd better start looking for another lawyer.

Because I'm through.

Not only will the Tuscany Downs be operational within six weeks, but on

day, on this very spot, I will present this silver chalice and something I'm

sure most of you will find more interesting, a check for $1 million.

Get a good shot of this.

The silver chalice and the check for $1 million to the winner of the richest

race in America, the Falcon Crest Steak.

Now, I know some of you are wondering why.

Especially in light of recent history, I would name this prestigious contest

after Falcon Crest. The reason is simple.

I want Tuscany Downs to bring this valley together, not divided.

The Falcon Crest steaks will be a lasting tribute to a cornerstone of this

valley, to a great winery.

Therefore, I am asking my brother, Chase Gioberti, and Angela Channing to join

me in presenting this trophy.

Thank you all for coming.

We'll never guess what just happened. We struck oil on lot 24.

No, better than that. Chomsky called.

The distributor? Yeah, he's agreed to distribute our wines with or without

Angela's name attached.

Oh, honey. Oh, that's great.

Well, that means we don't have to agree to Klieger's terms.

Wait till I tell you what Chomsky told me about Klieger. Now, this isn't common

knowledge, but Klieger is a front for Angela Channing.

They're... Partners? No, more than that. She owns controlling interest in

Klieger Distribution.

Oh, isn't she something?

No wonder he didn't want to do business without her involvement.

Are you going to tell her?

About Chomsky? Yeah.

No, I thought I'd let Klieger do that.

Oh, that's what I love about you. Your sense of poetic justice.

Yeah. What is all this? A national bake -off? Ah, no.

Actually, I'm just getting together some food since I'm going to the hospital

for these tests. I want you to go hungry.

Some food with all these pies and biscuits and breads. You're going to

fat and ugly.

Exactly. You think I want somebody to take my place?

Nobody's ever going to take your place.

I trust that they're treating you well at the hotel.

You should know. You're picking up the tab.

Oh, just long enough for us to clean up a little problem I'm having with one of

our mutual friends, Terry Hartford.

Terry and I go back a long way.

Farther than the $5 ,000 I'm paying you?

Farther than ten.

Oh, let's not be greedy.

It's a long ride back to New York empty -handed.

Well, you can't blame the bill for trying.

Exactly what is it you're after?

Let's call this a job description.

I want you to describe exactly what Terry did to make a living before she

to the Valley.

But you already know.

Oh, well, not for me.

Dr. Michael Ranson.

Charlie! Just in time to help me on my timing.

You can't have the proper timing when you've been so aggressive, Lance.

Well, that's your opinion, not mine.

You're angry.

You gonna give me a hand or not?

Martial arts are for personal development, Lance, not aggression.

Look, Charlie, just forget I asked, okay?

But you must not forget the purpose of the training I have given you my

are my business Now if you're not gonna help me out, just do me a favor and

leave me alone

Oh, no.

Oh, gosh, I'm sorry.

I can't stand it. I just get off duty and something always goes wrong.

I'm sorry.

Step aside. I'll take care of it.

Must have caught on my sleeve.

Get out of here now or I'll...

I guess I better go.

Okay.

I got you.

Here you are.

Mommy's been looking everywhere for you.

Oh, that's all right. He's right where he should be.

With his father.

Let's just say that's a matter of opinion.

And not one held by the court, I might add.

Come here, baby.

You know you shouldn't run away like that, huh?

You had Mommy worried.

Why don't you just leave him here and save everybody a lot of trouble?

What are you talking about?

Come on, Melissa. We both know the deal Angie's trying to make with my father to

get back into Falcon Crest.

That's all you care about, isn't it?

Falcon Crest.

Well, that's got nothing to do with Joseph or me.

Oh, I think it does.

But maybe you better check with Angie first.

Before Joseph gets caught in the middle.

Don't worry, I will.

Meanwhile, I suggest you keep your distance.

Bye -bye.

Bye.

Anytime you want to play, I'll be here, okay?

How long have you had a back problem?

About five years.

Does that hurt?

Yeah, a little bit.

You know, I really appreciate you doing this for me. Not at all. I know what

it's like to be on vacation and not feel well.

So, I have a friend who moved out here, you know.

Ever run into Terry Hartford?

Yeah, I sure have.

Have you?

Sure, she's a very good friend of mine. Well, how's she doing?

She's doing fine. We're very close, as a matter of fact.

Very close.

And she's still at it.

You know, I thought all that talk about giving it up for a better life was just

a lot of smoke.

I'm not sure we're talking about the same person or the same language.

Terry Hartford. Yeah.

Blonde. Five foot seven? A real knockout?

Yeah, we used to live together.

She's got a sister who lived out here. Mary or Margie or... Maggie?

Yeah, that's right.

She married a really good looking guy.

A pilot, I think.

There's nothing really wrong with you, is there?

Yeah, there is. I told you.

I threw my back out.

And I'm about to throw you out.

Oh, come on.

Don't be so upset.

I mean, if you think Terry Hartford's good, you haven't lived.

You know there's a law against slander.

You really don't know anything about Terry, do you?

I know enough to know you're lying.

Why don't you take a look at this?

I'm sure you'll recognize Terry's handwriting.

And all the guy's specialties are listed after their phone numbers.

Where'd you get this?

From Terry, of course.

She sold it to me right before she left, on the condition that someday I return

it.

There's some really interesting guys in there, you know.

Thank you, Mr. Perry, for returning my call.

Well, I didn't know if you were aware that Mr. Erickson and I are no longer

associated.

And I thought perhaps we might have lunch and... Well,

it could mean a considerable fee for your firm.

I see.

Well, there are other legal firms, Mr. Perry.

Mrs. Channing, have you decided who your new lawyers will be yet?

Erickson isn't going to be easy to replace.

But San Francisco is full of good attorneys.

Well, he was more than my attorney.

He was my confidant.

He's been campaigning among his good old boys and nobody will touch me.

Why would he go to such trouble?

To prove that I need him.

And what he doesn't know is that I and I alone am responsible for the survival

of Falcon Crest.

It's my legacy.

Not Chase's and not Philip's.

I don't need any of them.

I just ran into Philip Erickson, coming from a barrister's luncheon.

Ah, I see.

Which of his many faces did he have on today?

Actually, he was quite gracious.

So now you're the president of his fan club, eh? No.

No, not quite, but... I did learn that he and Angela Channing are no longer

working together.

Perhaps she's finally gotten tired of his fondness for both sides of the

Oh, well, actually, he said he'd resigned from her employer, sir.

He'd had enough of working under her thumb.

Independence does have its rewards.

Can I interest you in dinner, Lucios? I thought you'd never ask.

Why don't we meet back here at the office?

All right.

Bye. All right.

She'll want you.

No.

Same as you.

It's only been an hour.

I'm going to take anyway.

Chase, Maggie's CAT scan should take probably another three hours or so. Then

should have the answers to most of our questions.

Is she in any pain?

No, no.

It's just these things are time -consuming.

Why don't you two go home and try and relax?

You're giving my wife a CAT scan and you want me to relax?

I know.

As of now, all the symptoms are nonspecific.

Headaches, fainting spells, falling down a flight of stairs. Come on.

It could be anything from fatigue to circulatory problems. But for now, try

let me do the worrying, okay?

You do the worrying, sure.

I assume you know the penalties of kidnapping.

You don't make threats, Miss Finch. I do.

I make the threats.

Those fears here makes them reality.

Your loyalty to the company is becoming a very sensitive subject with me.

My loyalties are to Richard Channing.

Richard is nothing more than a rebel.

He needs to be brought back into line.

He won't be intimidated by you.

What about you, Miss Lynch?

Does the fear of death intimidate you?

I actually had to lie in wait for John Osborne.

But Miss Lynch is already here, isn't she?

What do you propose, Spheeris?

They say that freezing to death is actually quite pleasant.

One becomes drowsy and simply slips away.

You can't do that.

She's right, you can't.

It's much too painless.

Please.

Genuine pain can be one of life's great milestones.

I doubt if it is ever forgotten, even in death.

Please.

Loyalty to Richard Channing will cost you your life.

What do you want me to do?

I want this on Richard's phone.

I can't.

Of course you can.

I'm sorry I'm late.

It's all right.

Couldn't get a taxi to save my life.

Oh, you're cold.

Here, take my jacket. No, no, no, no, no.

Let's see if I can't warm you up.

There's something I have to tell you. It can wait. You are the woman of my

dreams. Sexy, sultry.

And savvy.

Flattery, flattery. No, it's not just flattery. Anybody who can keep tabs on

Angela Channing and Philip Erickson.

I just bumped into them. It's just luck.

What do they say? I'd rather be lucky than smart. That's me. And with you by

side, I have all the luck I need.

Now, what were you going to tell me?

Nothing. Just that I care for you a lot.

We've got a 5 o 'clock reservation.

Richard, I want to talk to you.

Go on. Start the car.

Love to chat with you, Lance, but we're running late.

I said I want to talk to you. Make an appointment.

I've got an inmate missing from my ward, Julia Compson.

You sure? You've got everything locked up tight.

I'm telling you, she's out there on the loose.

All right, let's be finished with that.

Oh, this is where I left my coat. All right.

Thank you.

Hi, honey.

You waited here all this time.

I'm sure I'd have waited all night if I had to. How are you feeling?

Well, a little stiff.

You know, you have to lie perfectly still for the whole thing, so... Did

say anything?

Not much.

Since I'm not allowed to talk and make conversation a little difficult. What

about the results?

Dr. Ransom will talk to you after he's had a chance to study the results.

You mean she was in there all that time and you still don't know if there's

anything wrong?

Mr. Giaberti, I'm just a duty nurse.

I don't think Dr. Ransom would appreciate my diagnosing his cases. Do

Thank you.

You have nothing to worry about.

How about dinner out?

You sure you're up to it?

Listen, I've been lying on that table for three hours thinking about nothing

food. I'm up to it. You're on.

I'll call Cole and Linda to join us.

That's you?

Don't tell me.

Another grueling day in the front lines of American medicine. You're exhausted.

And you need some tender, loving care.

And that is just what I'm going to give you.

Champagne, caviar, chicken cacciatore. An old family recipe.

Right out of a cookbook.

I'm going to prove to you that I'm not just another pretty face.

It's certainly not that.

I met an old friend of yours today.

Kate Mars.

Never even heard the name.

You sure she said she knew me?

She asked me to return this to you.

What in the world is that?

When you were in the East Coast, you were a call girl, weren't you?

This is some kind of joke, isn't it?

You don't know Norm Harris, David Raymond, Frank Scott?

Michael.

Let me explain. Just give me a chance.

That's all I ever wanted, Terry, was a chance at the truth.

But you're either a pathological liar or I'm a...

Pathological fool.

Don't say that.

It's true.

Everything else is a lie.

Where are you going?

Anywhere over here.

Terry, I don't sleep with hookers.

I'm going to call Michael and see if he's gotten the results of those tests.

Honey, please don't do that. Please. I am sure he will call us as soon as he

knows something.

It's late. Let the poor man have his rest, okay?

We can't pretend that nothing's wrong.

Darling, I feel better than I have in weeks.

So, how about some decaf?

Yes, I would love some. Good. Let me help you. No, it's okay. I can still

water. You entertain the men. I'll be right back. You sure?

Come on.

I'm fine.

I just, uh... You know, let's forget the coffee.

I'm going to warm up some milk. We can all relax. I think we're just a little

jumpy, okay?

I'm fine. I really am. I just...

Thank

you, Charlie.

I've just made some fresh sabayoni, Miss Channing.

No, the coffee's just fine.

You've missed dinner.

I wasn't hungry.

Well, that's odd. You usually have a very healthy appetite.

Angela.

Do you realize that nothing has changed?

I'm still revoking our agreement.

I won't give up Joseph or Falcon Crest or anything else.

I thought you'd come to your senses.

Oh, I have.

I used to think I was very much like you.

You are?

We're both devoted to our heritage, and we have a great drive for success.

But that's where we part company.

You do anything to succeed, to win.

You'd even give up your own family, and that's why you are utterly alone.

But I will have Falconcrest back, and then you will have it. I

don't want it badly enough to give up my own son.

What is your alternative?

You'll have a mother who loves him.

Julia was a mother who loved Lance, and look what happened to him.

That's because you totally dominated his life. Of course I did. I had to.

Don't get near Joseph.

You stay away from him.

Joseph will come to me.

Oh, no, he won't. Oh, yes, he will.

All little boys are drawn to power.

Lance was, and Joseph will be, too.

Would you pass me the cream?

Thank you.

Dr. Ransom, Dr. Michael Ransom, please.

It's the Giberti CAT scan report.

Can I get you some coffee, Dr. Ransom?

Would you like a cup of coffee?

Pick me up at noon, Carl. I have a lunch at the city club. I wouldn't make lunch

plans if I were you. Lance, you're certainly on the job early this morning.

has nothing to do with work. It's strictly personal.

I never got a chance to tell you how sorry I was about Melissa's baby.

You're not sorry, Channing. You're the reason it happened.

You said something to Melissa at that party.

Yes, I did.

But I had no wish for her to be in an accident.

Shut up.

Everything up at Falcon Crest, my grandmother's loss of power, Melissa's

my baby, my mother's loss of her mind, it's all because of you.

You have destroyed our entire way of life.

Well, I can only hope.

But I'm afraid you're giving me far too much credit.

Contrary to appearances, I'm not as vulnerable as you might think.

Very impressive.

I've obviously been paying him too much.

You're next, big mouth.

Not a pleasant way to start the day, is it?

Now, don't be stupid, man.

Don't do something we'll both regret.

Go ahead.

I think you're fast enough.

Come here.

You want revenge, do you?

You don't even know the meaning of the word.

You, you disgust me. Your whole family disgusts me, and I won't rest. until you

and your family are through. Do you hear me, boy? Finish!

Can that get through, that vacant mind of yours?

Dump him on his grandmother's front porch.

I want her to know how I feel about her precious way of life.

Have a cup of coffee with him. Is there something wrong?

We tried to call you last night. Terry said you'd left.

Yeah, it was quite a night.

You don't look like you got much sleep.

I went over to the hospital early this morning. I wanted to see the results of

the brain scan.

How bad is it, Michael?

You have a brain tumor, Mickey.

Okay.

Okay, this calls for surgery, so let's not waste any time.

When do we operate?

There won't be any operation.

It's inoperable.

Thank you.
