What's happening?

What's happening to me?

I want to operate, Meg.

Otherwise, the apting nerve will be destroyed.

It doesn't give us much of a choice.

Don't you think it's time Angela was taught a lesson?

Well, nothing would please me more.

Then let's do it.

Did what's grandmother's doing, Mom.

She's evil, Lance. She'll destroy all of us if we don't stop her.

What?

Julia?

All right, Mike.

Michael! Michael, I can't see!

Give me 10 milligrams of Valium.

10 milligrams of Valium, please.

What's happening?

What's happening to me?

There's pressure on your optic nerve. Now, I'm going to give you a mild

sedative, Maggie.

It'll help you calm down, okay? It just went... It just went... It just went

black.

Now, you're going to feel the needle, and this will help you calm down.

Okay.

I'll get my eyesight back.

Well... It'll come and go, Meg, as the tumor continues to grow.

How fast is it growing?

Too fast.

I want to operate, Meg.

Otherwise,

the optic nerve will be destroyed.

It doesn't give us much of a choice.

It's the only chance we have.

And if it isn't a success, I just end up...

It's like choosing between one kind of death or another.

That's delightful, Carter.

We'll make it a very special evening.

Goodbye.

Lance?

I'm late.

Philip's expecting me.

Working for Erickson doesn't ensure your future.

Well, now, since you've written me out of your will...

I don't have much of a future with you.

Wills can be changed.

That's why codicils were invented.

Providing the beneficiary is cooperative.

Okay, let's say the beneficiary is interested.

Close the doors.

Now, I want you to pay attention.

I want an heir for Falcon Crest.

A true heir.

You're forgetting something.

Melissa moved out of my bed.

But you charmed her before. After all, she married you.

That was your idea, not mine.

Well, I want you to win her back.

Say that I do.

What's in it for me?

Falcon Crest is as good as any place to start.

Melissa won't be very cooperative.

Well, then you're just going to have to try a little harder, aren't you?

I don't understand. All I'm asking for is another $30 million to finish the

racetrack. Well, you should have thought of that when your costs started to

escalate. Now, look, you know, we're not talking about some bargain basement

operation here. The Tuscany dance is going to be a showcase. You start

corners now, you might as well forget the entire project and the millions

already invested. Our investment is quite secure, Mr. Channing, because if

can't complete construction, we will.

I'm sorry we can't be of more help.

I'm nearly as sorry as I am.

There is another way. Oh, yeah, sure, there's another way.

Convince Chase what a wonderful friend I am.

Yes, but then you get another 25 million from your mother's will, and...

You just have to find another five. I'll sell off some of my holdings in the New

Globe if I have to.

You know, I almost have the feeling my mother planned this whole thing as

if she knew what was going to happen.

You were one big blur.

Mm -hmm.

Probably better that way.

I wish we had a little more time.

I'm frightened, Chase. I'm really frightened.

Is it Michael?

A little bit.

A little bit. You know he hasn't performed that operation in ten years.

I don't think he would have suggested the surgery if he didn't think he could

it.

No one knows more about the procedure than he does.

is that I'm going to wake up from this surgery, and I'm not going to know where

I am, and I'm going to be a burden on you.

Nonsense. Nonsense.

You're going to wake up from that surgery, and I'll bet you, you are going

see the world in a whole new light, and I'm going to be right there.

Are we talking miracles, Chase?

Maybe.

But I'm counting on the hands of a skillful surgeon, too.

He's ready to perform the operation, and so am I.

Maggie, would you like some company?

Angela, come in, please.

I want to stop by and see you.

How are you feeling?

Well, I feel a little like a traffic light. Blink, I can see. Blink, I can't.

I don't know, you name it. I felt it. Brave, scared.

Frightened is one thing you mustn't be.

That's what I tell myself.

Life doesn't always provide us with happy endings.

But in this case, I'm sure it will.

I'd certainly like to believe that.

I really mean it.

You know, Maggie, we've had our differences in the past.

But I really care what happens to you.

Now, you can't do anything about the past, but perhaps we can do something

the future.

You rest now.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

More champagne?

No, ma 'am.

More caviar?

I usually start my mornings off with just a little oatmeal.

This is certainly luxurious.

Well, you can afford luxury.

Tell that to the bankers.

The question is, can I afford champagne at eight o 'clock in the morning?

You look so innocent when I woke up, all snuggled up in my arms.

I do not snuggle.

Good that dignified British subject does not snuggle.

You snuggled, huh? I did.

And I enjoyed it thoroughly.

So did I.

I'll see you at the office.

How did you get in here?

What do you want?

So nice to see you again, Miss Lynch.

No wonder Channing finds you so attractive, huh?

You've been toying with us, Miss Lynch, playing a very dangerous game. I'm

cooperating. Inviting Mr. Channing to spend the night in your apartment away

from our listening devices is not my ideal cooperation.

What do you people expect?

I love him.

We're more concerned with your devotion to us, huh?

I told you I'd get the blueprints for the racetrack. What more do you want?

The trophy.

Oh, please.

The one Mr. Channing plans to present to the winner of the Falcon Quest sticks.

What for?

Call it a test of your skills, eh?

Don't worry.

We're not going to keep it.

Mr. Crane is just curious, that's all.

Well, I can hardly walk out of his office carrying a $30 ,000 statue, can

You'll think of something. We're counting on it, Miss Lynch.

Don't disappoint us, eh?

I want to talk to you.

About what? About our future.

There's no such thing anymore. Haven't you figured that out?

You never learn, do you? I don't want to fight anymore.

Then just leave me alone.

Look.

You're leaving. How wonderful.

Ship sets sail next week.

Goes to Bora Bora, Tahiti.

It'd be like a second honeymoon for us.

Second chance.

You've run out of second chances, husband.

We can leave all our bad memories behind us, Melissa.

Work out whatever problems we have.

Even if I wanted to go with you.

And I don't.

I just can't leave Joseph.

You already have.

I wanted that baby more than you'll ever know.

That's all I could think about.

How we'd be a family again.

Well, Linda Giaverdi took care of that now, didn't she?

We can try again.

So Angela can have another heir?

Not in my lifetime.

My grandmother has nothing to do with this.

Doesn't she?

I know what you really want.

And you're not going to get it.

Just remember, one of these days, I'm going to inherit Angela's empire.

And when I do...

You're going to be the last person on this earth I'm going to share it with.

Thought you'd be at the winery.

Obviously.

What can I do for you?

Is Linda home?

She's visiting her father.

She didn't take Joseph with her, did she?

She's taking a nap.

Look, I got things to do.

Oh, that's all right. I don't mind waiting.

I tried that with Linda and got away with it.

It doesn't work that way for me, Melissa.

I don't know why you're getting so upset, Cole.

All I want to do is see my son.

We all know the dangers involved, Chase.

Maggie may have made her peace with that, but I haven't.

I'm not just worried. I'm scared to death.

You're just going to have to trust me, cuz.

I want to.

I do.

But don't you think she'd be better off in San Francisco?

If I knew anyone, anyone who could perform this procedure, I would have

contacted them a long time ago.

Come in.

The Board of Anesthesiologists finally located Dr. Heller. Oh, great. Thank you

very much.

That's great.

This is going to be a team effort, Chase.

Dr. Lillian Heller is one of the finest anesthesiologists in the country.

Now, I know I can do it.

I just hope you can start to believe that.

So he wrestled his feathers and held his head high.

I never dreamed I could be so happy, he said, when I was the ugly duckling.

You like that one?

I think it's time for you to take a nap.

What do you think?

Grown -ups do strange things sometimes.

Things that are very difficult for you to understand.

No matter what happens, I'll always love you.

Oh, Richard, I'm sorry. I just bumped into the table and... Let me see that.

Well, I can't believe it would have broken off like that.

I'm sorry.

Call the silversmith and have it repaired right away. Where are you

I gotta go to Miami. I gotta talk to some stable owners.

I'll be back tomorrow.

And make sure that's ready on time. Those owners are expecting a trophy.

It'll be flawless.

Joseph asleep?

Yes.

Why do you find it so difficult to talk to me?

What do you want me to say?

Can't we at least be friends?

You sold your son and now you're feeling guilty about it.

That's your problem, Melissa.

I feel more than guilty.

I feel ashamed.

I have nothing left at Falcon Crest.

No marriage, no life.

And you hate me just as much as they do, don't you?

I don't hate you.

I just pity you.

If you've got nothing now, it's no one's fault but your own.

I had no choice.

You had every choice.

Why don't you start facing the truth for a change?

I got Joseph away from Lance and Angela. That wasn't selfish, was it?

Slinch at last.

I was beginning to feel like a tourist.

Car is rented through noon tomorrow, and the papers are in the glove

compartment.

I don't suppose there's any point in asking what you intend to do with all of

this. What you don't know can't hurt you.

I knew you could do it.

Mr. Crane will be most impressed.

Oh, I had to break the trophy to get it away from Richard without his suspicion.

It has to be repaired before I can return it.

Minor concern. Rest assured that I will take care of everything.

Well, when will I get it?

We'll be in touch.

We'll be operating none too soon, Maggie.

When?

Within 36 hours.

Michael, what's it going to be like? I mean, this vision of looking like the

Bride of Frankenstein or something.

Not a chance. You'll be as pretty as ever.

Actually, it's not as complicated as you might think, technically.

We'll make a small incision with an operative microscope.

Don't worry, you'll never see it. We go through the palate, into the bone that

cradles the tumor.

Then what?

Then we freeze the tumor with cryotherapy.

Then with a surgical laser, we remove the tumor without damaging or destroying

any of the tissues.

You certainly make it sound simple.

Easy. Anybody can do it. All you need is 15 years. That's all it took me.

I want you to get some sleep. I'll pop in and see you later in the afternoon.

Okay, thank you.

Michael? Yeah?

I want you to know that I have complete faith in you.

And also, I wanted to, uh... I wanted to thank you for what you've done for

Terry.

She really loves you.

Well, she's come a long way in a few months.

You're responsible for a lot of that growth.

I'm very fond of her.

Just fond?

How much petite Syrah did you use in the blend?

30%. Maybe less. It gives it the middle body needs without losing that

furtiness.

No wonder Angela's so unhappy you're working for me.

Expertise like yours is hard to come by.

My grandmother respects two things, Philip. Knowledge and power.

And if we deprive her of that power?

Nothing would please me more.

Then let's do it.

Why? I mean, what's in it for you?

Don't you think it's time Angela was taught a lesson?

This wouldn't have anything to do with Carter St. John, would it?

It has to do with Angela Channing.

Well, how do you plan on going about it?

Convince her best people to come work for us.

It won't be easy. Or cheap.

The good things in life never are.

I see the cartel still deals in fine art.

Hardly call scrap iron art.

Oh, I don't know. I think scrap iron has a certain charm.

Unless it falls on you.

So what brings you to this part of the world? Surely not my company.

On the contrary.

I was on my way back to Miami and I wanted to stop by and personally invite

to be my guest for opening day at Tuscany Downs.

Having been too young for the sinking of the Titanic, I wouldn't miss this for

the world.

Now it's funny, Norton, you should mention the sinking of the Titanic.

Because I think that's an appropriate metaphor for the cartel.

See you opening day, Norton.

He seems very confident of opening Tuscany Downs without our help.

Pride goeth before the fall.

Richard still needs money to make his racetrack a reality.

We've cut off his bank financing. Where can he go?

His brother still controls a sizable inheritance.

I would hate to think that Richard could prevail upon him to help in his hour of

need.

See what you can do.

Julia?

Oh, Julia.

I thought... You thought that Julia had come back to us.

Oh, Mother, I wish that it were true.

Look how happy we were.

Look how she's smiling.

Emma, don't do that to yourself.

Mother, no matter what she's done, she's my sister and I love her.

And she's my daughter.

I know she's going to come back.

I was little and we were at school together and the other children used to

me. Julia always protected me and now she's the one that needs protecting and

just feel so helpless.

You mustn't.

Because she will come back.

And she'll need help.

And when that time comes, we'll be here.

I don't know.

I don't think I should have come into town with you, Lucas.

Can't spend the rest of your life hiding, Kay.

You don't know JC.

He's going to come looking for me.

Out here in the middle of nowhere?

Come on.

You're safe with me. You know that.

Look, you just sit tight here and don't worry. I'll only be a minute.

Is there anything special I can get you?

I'm in a buying mood.

You sure?

No, there's nothing I need.

Nothing you can buy in a store anyway.

Can't believe it. Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine. How is everything there?

How's Joseph? How's Melissa?

Well, he's living with Cole now.

Who is?

Joseph. Joseph? Why?

It was Grandmother's doing, Mom.

Joseph, in exchange for half a falcon crest, she got Melissa to agree to it.

She's taken Joseph away from Melissa?

Just the way she forced me to give you up when you were a baby?

Mom, where are you?

I'll come and get you.

That woman will stop at nothing.

Mom, I can help you.

She's evil, Lance. Don't you understand that? She's trying to destroy us. She'll

destroy all of us if we don't stop her. Don't you understand that?

Mother, calm down.

This isn't doing you any good. Now, please, let me see you.

You've got to promise me you won't tell her that I called.

Okay, but... Julia?

She hung up on you, didn't she?

I just wanted to hear her voice.

Why didn't you tell me she phoned? I was trying to find out where she was. Well,

where is she? I don't know. You didn't give me a chance.

Lance, I want you to keep this a secret. Now, don't you tell a soul.

Why not?

Because Julia's life might be in danger, and until we know more, I want it

strictly confidential.

You know, this might be a first for you and me.

We're filing an agreement for a change.

Mr. Chase Gilbert.

Yes?

I am Samuel Zuckerman. Perhaps you have heard of me.

No, I'm sorry. At least I don't recall.

I have something of a reputation as an investigator.

You seem in a hurry.

Yes, I am.

What's this all about, Mr.

Zuckerman? I've come to the point. For years I have been tracking down Nazi

criminals. And this is for you, Mr. Gilbert. For you.

Alone. I can't.

Read it at your leisure.

Take your time, Mr. Giverty, please.

There are documents in there, priceless papers, things that people tried to hide

and couldn't.

You are the son of Jacqueline Perrault, are you not?

Yes. I have read with great interest the article your wife wrote about her.

There is much more to tell, Mr. Giverty.

About what?

About the blood of innocent people.

Crimes against humanity. Wait a minute. What does this all have to do with my

mother? Read the documents.

It has taken me half a lifetime to assemble the material.

Jacqueline Perrault was a murderer.

The inheritance, she left you.

She killed for it.

Oh, it's so serious.

I see you're still the same workaholic you always were. Well, yeah.

Hi.

I don't believe it.

Twelve years?

You wouldn't recognize me. Are you kidding? You're prettier now than you

research. Ransom the old fighter.

Oh, it's true.

Some things never change.

It's been a long time, hasn't it?

Yeah, well, I have to make up for it.

You bet.

So. This is the laser microscope you were always looking at. Yeah, that's

15 years between Johns Hopkins and here.

I'm getting another pair of lenses here for Dr.

Parker. He's going to assist me tomorrow. Even then, it's going to be

go. Oh, you'll do fine.

Well, I always thought you and I would make a good team.

Well, why don't you let me buy you lunch and we'll discuss the procedures for

tomorrow. Good.

the closest thing to a Mississippi mud as you can get.

I think Maggie's holding up pretty well, don't you?

To tell you the truth, I think she's handling this a lot better than I am.

You seem to be holding your own to me.

With Angela back at Falcon Crest, I've got to keep up appearances.

You've got to have a fight on your hands. You know that, don't you?

Maybe our mother knew what she was doing after all.

In what way?

What do you mean, what way? The money she left us.

You could come in very handy if you had to go head -to -head with Angelo for

Falconcrest.

You know, that's interesting.

You're the second person today to mention Jacqueline's fortune.

Who was the first?

A Nazi hunter named Zuckerman.

Seems to have documented our mother's every sin.

I can't believe everything you hear, Chase.

You, uh... You wouldn't be in a bind, would you?

Not at all.

You need that money to finish your racetrack. That's what this is all

isn't it?

I thought it was about helping each other.

You want me to help you, Richard?

And prove you care about more than power and money.

Prove you care about family.

It works both ways, doesn't it? Oh, come on, Richard. I've given you the benefit

of the doubt from the beginning.

What else do I have to do to prove to you that I'm your friend?

Very simple.

Be one.

You know, you're right.

This toast tastes like mud.

How about some more coffee?

Boy, you sure know how to spoil a man, Kate.

I haven't had such good food since my wife passed away.

Well, there's plenty more.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

That really bothered you going into town, didn't it?

No, I'm fine, really.

Well, you look mighty fine, too.

That's a compliment, Kay.

Yes. Thank you.

Well, I guess I'll start on the dishes.

Oh, no, no. Look, there's no rush.

Just sit down here and we'll talk.

About what?

I get scared, too, Kay.

Just like you do.

Alone at night, life is like a deep, dark pit. And you start falling into it

there's nobody there to catch you. But it doesn't have to be like that.

I'm here for you, Kay.

You hear what I'm saying?

Yes, you're so good to me.

Didn't budge, huh?

No.

He'd sit there smiling as if I'd made his whole day.

He'd try to buy my friendship.

All the money in the world won't buy my friendship.

Well, there is another way.

The cartel takes a piece of the action. Oh, sure. Then I lose everything.

That's better than losing your life.

Norton Crane is too clever for that.

He's also very clever at silencing people who stand in his way. Well, what

you want me to do? Give him everything so you'll get a nice fat commission?

You really are despicable. You know that?

Oh, really, you are. And you know why? You hate anyone who loves you. You know

why that is?

Because you hate yourself.

I'm sorry, all right? I was wrong. Richard Channing apologizing? Yes. All

I guess I'm feeling a little pressure.

You're not the only one.

Pamela, I didn't mean to hurt you.

Maybe you're right.

The only person I hurt is myself.

I never needed anyone before.

But I need you.

I don't want to put you in any trouble. Oh, are you kidding? We're old friends.

Besides, a guest room is a lot more comfortable than a motel room.

I called Terry. She couldn't be more pleased.

I'm looking forward to meeting her.

I often wondered if you'd ever be married or found someone.

Yeah. What about you? Did you find what you were looking for?

Oh, medicine's kept me very busy.

I have no regrets.

Yeah.

Still, we...

We had something special, didn't we?

Oh,

we were just kids then, Michael.

I stopped living in the past a long time ago.

Right.

What did we used to call that one guy?

Uh, Musclehead. Yes.

Oh, and remember the girl that sat behind us in embryology? Oh, yeah.

Frog lady. Oh, that's terrible.

Oh,

Terry, this is my friend Lillian Heller. This is Terry Hartford.

Hello. I've heard so much about you.

It's very kind of you to put me up.

Oh, not at all.

Thank you for coming.

How are you, honey?

Hi, babe.

Dinner's almost ready.

You're sure I'm not intruding? Oh, of course not.

Listen, let me show you around a little bit. Oh, I'd love to see it. Thank you.

We've got a little bit more work to do, but...

Ah.

That just left me... cocky.

When you wake up, all this will be behind us.

And you'll be fine.

You're a lot of years ahead of us, you know.

I know.

I won't disappoint you.

Well, you never have.

You sure you don't want me to call Grandfather?

No, let's just... We'll wait.

We'll call him later.

You're gonna be fine.

Get downstairs, okay? Okay.

We'll make it.

Damn right we will.

Where is everybody?

Alcantara doesn't run on a computer.

Ben, what's going on around here? Where is everybody?

They're gone, Mrs. Channing.

What are you talking about?

They don't work here anymore.

But of course they do.

They now work at Mr. Erickson's winery.

Did he come here?

I mean, did he set foot in my winery?

Ben, I asked you a question.

No, Mrs. Channing.

Well, who did?

Your grandson.

Next on Falcon Crest.

Take a look at this.

You could be doing more harm than good. Come back to the cartel. I'd rather be

dead.

I think we should grant her wish.

Perhaps in time I could learn to trust you again.

so so
