Original subtitles

We've concluded one of two things.

Pamela Lynch is either out of the country or she's dead.

I want you to tell me every word Julia said from the time she was first

arrested. What she did say is that she hated you and that you deserve to die.

Get Knowles, Fuller, and Yaffe and follow me up to Lucas's place.

We're going to pick up a murderer.

Say you'll marry me.

I truly love you.

Goodbye, Richard.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

I'm not sure.

Did you get any sleep at all?

Not really.

I'll call the doctor. No!

I'll be fine.

Melissa, please let me call the doctor.

someone to know why not if you're sick my mother will only want to help you i

want to go and see my own doctor in the city can you make a trip like that with

your help i can

Here you go, my dear.

Oh, Chase, honey, you didn't have to do that. Oh, it's a pleasure.

You know, you are going to have to stop treating me like a big baby. I've been

out of the hospital a whole month now. I consider it a joy to be able to treat

you like a big baby.

Oh, I love you.

Just, I love you.

Why don't they leave us alone?

Well, well, good morning.

What do I owe the pleasure?

Hi. Sorry to drop in like this. That's okay. We're just having breakfast. We

have come to say goodbye.

Goodbye? Where are you going?

Mexico. Michael surprised me with tickets last night. You're going to take

just like that, huh? You know me. Always travel ready. Even a doctor needs a

vacation once in a while.

Well, gee, that's great.

Of course, for those of us who are here under house arrest, suffering from cabin

fever, uh... And you get a parole.

You mean I get to go out?

Mm -hmm.

It's exactly what you need.

Really? Oh, but Doug, hey!

Michael, thank you, thank you, thank you. Well, it's about time. Thank you

everything. I'm glad I could help.

Good news, huh? Yeah.

Well, how long are you going to be gone? Just about a week.

And we'd better go or we'll miss the plane. Can I give you a lift to the

airport? No, we've got a cab waiting. Come on, Vic. Oh, oh, oh. Drop us a card

now. Will you?

Yeah, have a good time.

Now, we'll have fun, too. I'll have fun, too.

Why didn't you tell them?

I'm surprised there's more fun.

They're going to be surprised.

Listen,

I want you to go upstairs and get dressed. I'm going to take you out and

something great to wear for opening day.

Are you serious? You're not going.

Well, Michael just said you should go out. Then whether we like it or not,

the event of the year.

Yeah, but Richard just sent you that invitation to get under your skin.

Let's get under his and accept.

Oh, you have something in mind.

Maybe I do, but more than anything, I want to show off my lovely wife.

Chase can keep bought out.

Darling, you traded half a falcon crest in exchange for Joseph.

Why spend the money?

We can simply divide falcon crest right down the middle. We?

What's the point?

They'd never be able to compete with your wines.

Once they're brought to their peak by my premium McGretty crush.

You thought about that for a long time.

A working partnership like ours, Angela, takes planning.

All right. This has got it. Thank you.

Uh, grandmother, I need to talk to you.

Not right now. I'm late for a fitting. This is important. So is my fitting.

You shouldn't have me down here doing this kind of work.

I want you to learn to appreciate what you have.

Oh, really?

Is that why we're all going to Richard's opening day?

I want to show this valley that our family is still a force to be reckoned

A united force.

Uh, you know, you and I used to be partners.

And you doubted the value of my power, as I recall.

I wonder if you'll ever learn.

I've learned.

More than you realize.

He's on his way down the corridor.

Stay close.

Richard, nice of you to drop by, but as you can see, I'm terribly busy. Where's

Pamela?

Oh, has your little chippy run out on you?

Yes, haven't you heard?

Seems she had a little accident, and she has mysteriously vanished.

I'd suggest you look on the street corners of Soho, where she belongs.

And as far as your cowboy tactics are concerned, Richard.

I'll have to remind you that this office is carefully monitored. You would

deeply regret a single moment of my personal distress.

What do you do? Wind him up?

You know, I'm truly looking forward to coming out to the coast for your opening

day.

Good.

Although, I'm a little surprised that you'd care to be there, since it's a

monument to your failure to take it over.

Perhaps I should be happy to have lost this fight to an equal.

That's a compliment.

Oh, acknowledged.

There was a fatal flaw in your thinking all along, Crane.

Thoroughbred racing can only succeed with honest management.

We would have handled any statutory controls easily enough.

Then you'd have nothing.

I hope you do make it for opening day. You'll see why they call it the sport of

kings.

And why you're nothing but a pretender to the throne.

Smile, Spears.

It helps.

Why not let him have his fun?

Before the week is out he'll be dead anyway.

I was just coming back from delivering a prisoner across the state line. I

thought I'd stop by since I don't get out this way much.

I guess I don't have to ask how you're doing, though.

Come here.

Kay.

Kay, I want you to meet Scotty.

Deputy Scott to some.

We're in the same high school class.

Really?

Kay Aberdeen.

How do you do?

Well, I've got something on the stove. I better check it.

Nice to meet you, ma 'am.

Yeah.

Same here.

You devil.

It's not like that, Scotty. Kay is a fine woman.

She's a trifle bit shy, though, don't you think?

I'm running on three hours sleep, and I've got a case of terminal jet lag.

is no time to rest on your laurels.

We're doing the best we can, Mr. Channing. Then why haven't you found her

Well, that burned -out car of hers didn't leave us much to go on.

At this point, we've concluded one of two things.

Pamela Lynch is either out of the country or she's dead.

No.

She's not dead.

Meanwhile, I want to make sure that Tuscany Downs opens without any

Security will be as tight as we can possibly make it. It better be. I don't

opening day to be the day I meet my maker.

You really think the cartel would go that far?

They'd like nothing more than to make a public spectacle of my execution.

Look at this.

Oh, hi.

What are you doing out of bed?

Not bad, huh?

Not at all. You look great.

I thought it would do her good to get out.

Come here.

Oh, it's good to see you.

So where's my little guy?

He's upstairs napping. But he will be up any minute, so come on.

Okay, see you later.

You look terrific. Thank you. That looks great. Yep.

Are you sure she's up to all this? On doctor's orders. We're even going to the

track opening.

Sure you are.

Yeah, I thought it'd be a good chance to maybe make some points against Richard.

Good for her to get out and see people and be seen.

I suppose so.

Why don't you come along with us, both of you? We'll go together.

Come on, Dad.

Come on.

That's how you're planning on scoring points against Richard anyway.

Never mind. You'll be there. You'll see.

is that your cramps are the result of the stress you've been through lately.

Maybe they should post a sign at Falcon Crest.

Living here could be hazardous to your health.

I'll have those lab reports for you in a couple of days.

Thank you, Doctor.

What did she say?

Nerves. I knew it. You've got to learn to ignore my mother.

She could drive anybody crazy.

In a few days, it'll be three months since Julia escaped.

Now, that is not acceptable.

The entire matter is truly out of my hands at this point, Mrs. Channing. She

your responsibility.

And once she escaped, it became a police problem.

You were supposed to take care of her.

You're incompetent.

Look, once Julia's located, I'm sure you'll feel a lot better.

Just sit down.

I'm not through with you.

And don't tell me how I feel.

I really have nothing more to say, Mrs. Channing. Oh, yes, you have.

I want you to tell me every word Julia said from the time she was first

arrested.

Even if I could recollect my conversations with Julia verbatim, which

certainly can't, anything we talked about was strictly confidential,

by the physician -client relationship.

We're talking about my daughter, not a stranger.

I only wonder why you never made her feel like a daughter instead of a

never said that about me.

That's quite true.

What she did say is that she hated you and that you deserve to die.

Scotty! I haven't seen so much of you because I owed you money.

Is that how you greet a guy bringing you a sack of pheasant?

Whoa, are you kidding me?

These are real beauties. Benny Ray got them this morning up behind the ridge. I

thought you might like a few.

Well, you thought right.

Kay! Kay!

Come out here.

See what Scotty brought us.

I'm awfully busy here in the kitchen, Lucas.

Well, leave it. We can get it later.

Like you say, she's a little shy.

Good morning, Miss Aberdeen.

Good morning.

Gee, look at these beauties. We're going to be eating good around here.

Aren't they something?

Yeah, thank you. I'll clean them.

I can see you folks are pretty busy.

Hey, aren't you going to stay for coffee at least?

Some other time, maybe.

Well, look, I'll be in town towards the end of the week. I'll see you then. You

bet.

Thanks for the birds.

What's for breakfast?

Oh, blueberry muffins, eggs.

And a late morning sail on the bay.

Sounds like fun. You know, Philip, it's always nice to see you so early.

Philip stayed in the guest room last night.

I see.

The coast was completely fogged in last night. Couldn't find a decent room

between here and the city.

So Angela was kind enough to accommodate me.

You are so very accommodating.

Where's Melissa?

Why do you always ask about her?

Melissa is very resourceful.

She deserves my keeping an eye on her.

Look, when I get Melissa moved back into my bedroom, she'll be having another

child. My child. One of us, Grandmother.

And you'll see it's worth caring about around here.

Well, I guess the next move is up to you, huh?

You want heirs?

You want grandchildren?

Melissa will give them to you whether she wants to or not.

And judging from the hospital report, the internal damage following the

has been the cause of these discomforts.

Will the pain continue?

That's hard to say.

This medication should relieve some of it.

But this, uh...

Internal damage.

It is going to heal, isn't it?

The human body, for all its resiliency, is a very delicate collection of

systems.

You were lucky to have survived that accident in the first place.

I realize that, Doctor.

And you already do have a healthy child of your own.

You mean...

I can't have any more children.

I'm afraid not.

Joseph is all I'm ever going to have.

At least you do have him.

Be the wonderful mother I know you can be to him.

That's all you need to do now.

Oh.

I know exactly.

what I have to do now.

Lucas, lunch is ready.

One more fence post and I'll be right in.

Hello. Hello, Miss Aberdeen?

Yes?

Who's calling?

This is Deputy Scott.

Scotty, Lucas's friend?

Yes. Is Lucas around? No.

I mean, he... He went into town to pick up some fencing.

Oh, that's right. He said something about coming into town.

Is there some message?

No, I was just calling to see if he was up for some fencing hunting with my

cousin and me.

Oh, I'll tell him you called.

Yeah, that'll be fine, ma 'am. Nice talking to you.

Yes. Goodbye.

Get Knowles, Fuller, and Yaffe and follow me up to Lucas' place.

We're going to pick up a murderer.

So to be chill, this may well set an unbeatable standard.

And you do know your wines, don't you, Philip?

Premium quality, isn't it?

Just like cough syrup.

Melissa, here, maybe this will sweeten you up a little bit.

No, thank you.

Did you ever hear from your doctor?

Melissa, haven't you been feeling well?

I had an uneasy stomach.

It was just nerves.

Well, the doctor thinks you're a little too tense.

Perhaps you should have some wine. What are you so nervous about?

I'm going to go visit Joseph tomorrow.

Maybe I'm just keyed up about it.

Wait a second. You've been over to Cole's before and you've never been

about it.

Lance, please.

Anyone can have a case of nerves around you, Lance.

I think it's time we all get some rest.

Yes, tomorrow's going to be a big day.

I'll see you at the racetrack then.

No, you'll see him for breakfast.

He's staying in the guest room tonight.

Ah, well, the highway's probably all fogged in again, isn't it?

Quinn? Lance Compson.

Yeah, I know what time it is. Don't you think a major transaction's worth losing

a little sleep over?

That's right.

A complete takeover of the New Globe. Press my margins before that exchange

opens tomorrow.

I want every share of stock Richard Cheney puts on the market.

Lucas. You and me have been friends for a long time, but this is no time to

count on that now.

Scotty, I told you.

I met her at the Golden Spurs.

She was playing the slots.

Some guy... You're right, Lucas. You have told us that.

I'm much more interested in anything Miss Compson might have said to you.

We spent a lot of time together, chasing a lot of things.

You do understand that the FBI is going to be seeking any indictments in this

case that it can, including those for harboring a fugitive from justice.

I didn't know anything about any murders.

I didn't know anything about any mental hospital or anything.

To me, Kay Average... Julia Compson.

Whatever the lady's name is, she just seemed like a nice person to me.

I was looking for somebody.

Somebody to be nice back to her.

Just what I needed.

This gun she stole.

You think she knows how to use it? I taught her.

Look.

She was a woman who spent half her time by her lonesome out there.

I didn't see any harm in it. Lucas, she's a convicted murderer. I didn't...

don't know anything. All right.

Just take it easy.

Now, in your opinion, would you say that she had any proficiency with that

pistol?

Proficiency? She could shoot the ears out of a jumping bullfrog at 50 paces.

I want that APB extended to everything west of the Rockies. The suspect is

and extremely dangerous.

open that door by yourself.

Aren't you getting to be a big boy, huh?

He really is growing.

We even had to put safety catches on the cabinet.

Oh, we sure don't want any accidents to happen to this curious little guy.

Accidents can be costly.

I lost a child because of your recklessness.

But you can always have another.

Wrong, Linda.

The accident left me unable to have any more children.

What?

No.

You can't be serious.

It's hardly something I joke about.

And it makes my son much more precious to me.

You still blame me for everything, don't you?

Linda, it was an accident.

I didn't mean it.

I'm going to do you a favor, Linda, by not telling anyone else about this.

A favor? I don't understand.

I think it's bad enough that you and I know what you did.

Nobody else will know.

I think that'll be better for both of us.

I only hope you'll be more careful with my son.

Welcome to opening day of Tuscany Down.

Thanks for coming. Hello, everybody. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for coming.

Hi, Bob. Good to see you. Well, hello. I love the lovely hat.

Thanks for coming. Appreciate it.

Hello, Jack. Thanks for coming.

All security checkpoints are clear, Mr. Jim. Very nice.

I like this.

When Crane arrives, he'll pull into the valet parking area.

I'd like this gift left in his car.

Suppose he doesn't accept it. See that he does.

Right, sir.

And make sure his car is parked in a safe place.

Well, hello. Thanks for coming.

Mr.

Crane. Yes?

I have a gift for Mr.

Channing.

A gift?

A souvenir of the opening of Tuscany Downs.

What is it?

I believe it's a case of the best of the valley's wines.

Open the trunk.

Check it out.

Most of those aren't even available on the market.

Well, I look forward to enjoying them.

Welcome. Opening day of Tuscany Downs. Post time, 1 p .m. No changes

in the first race.

All windows of the clubhouse and grandstand sites are now open.

Richard really pulled it off this time.

Well, I see it as a monument to his eternal greed.

It's brilliant.

Richard's going to make a million.

To hell with Richard. I got 500 and number six to win.

They say one is born every minute.

gentlemen, the horses are on the track for the first race.

A mile on the main track.

An allowance race for three -year -old colts bred in the state of California.

Please make your wagers early.

Post time, one o 'clock.

You and your board of supervisors have

certainly made a mess of things, don't you think?

Well, until you stop fighting me at every turn, Richard will always be able

divide and conquer. Ladies and gentlemen, Tuscany Downs is proud to

you the founder and driving force behind this, the opening day of this premier

facility.

Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Richard Channing.

And I want to welcome you to the realization of my dreams.

Tuscany Downs Racetrack.

directly into the mainstream of modern life.

We've got a racetrack.

A racetrack

that is going to be an economic bonanza for each and every one of you.

Before us lies the most sophisticated, thoroughbred racing facility in the

country.

We have got a mile and an eighth track.

We've got a complete grandstand, clubhouse, turf club facilities, all

none. But most of all, we have got the world's premier equestrian athletes

competing for a purse of $1 million, as well as for this

magnificent trophy, a trophy bearing the...

to the winner of today's feature race, the Falcon Press Dates.

But until then, I wish you all good luck.

And the horses have reached the dining gate.

They're all in line.

The flight is up.

We're about ready for the break.

Oh, no. Save it a moment.

We'll soon be dead.

They're off!

Down the backstretch, it's Mae Blaney on the inside.

Go inside!

Go inside!

Give it up, Lance. You've lost on the last of the races. Falcon Crest Stakes.

know what the hell I'm doing.

Then it's back to Perry's Red and Longest Day, and they reach the 5th

I think you... Fake Lady in second by three -quarters of a link.

Now there goes Lance with her one -flag, switching to the outside in third by a

length of a half, followed by Juicer, Perry's Red, and Longest Day, and they

turn for home.

Fake Lady has the lead.

Jim Sheets is back and Lavender Lilac is coming out strongly there in the crowd.

It's Bay Lady, Kim Sheets, and Lavender Lilac now driving right at the rail.

Those three in a heated battle in the late stages.

Lavender Lilac is coming through strongest of all. Kim Sheets and Bay

Lavender Lilac is up in time.

Right at the wire, Lavender Lilac is the winner.

Much for lady luck.

It's just luck is no substitute for intelligence and hard work.

You know, I'll remember that when I take over the new globe before the end of

the month. Oh, Lance, stop dreaming. Sometimes dreams do come true.

Returning to the winner's circle.

Ladies and gentlemen, I

present to you the cornerstones of the Tuscany Valley.

behind Malcolm Preston, Angela Channing, and Chase Giberti.

The nerve of that man.

Let's take him up on it. Never.

Always the politician, huh?

Always.

Pick the trophy up, Richard.

Friends of the Tuscany Valley, thank you. Thank you very much.

I hope I'll get a reception like this come the next election.

Thank you. You know, this is a great day for all the citizens of the Tuscany

Valley.

For Richard Channing honors today not only Falcon Crest, but each and every

of you.

Thank you, Kate.

Oh, I'm not even warmed up yet, brother.

You know, when the concept of a horse racing facility was first brought before

the county board of supervisors, no one was opposed to it more than I.

But Richard Channing is obviously a man of great vision.

In my narrow -mindedness, I thought that Tuscany Downs would ruin the

agricultural nature of our valley.

that Tuscany Downs would bring unfeemly elements to our lives, that Tuscany

Downs would become nothing more than a vehicle for personal profit. And in at

least one of those cases, I was wrong, terribly, terribly wrong.

Just this morning, Richard gave me his personal assurance, made on a basis of

brotherhood and friendship, to be formalized in my office next week.

That from this day forward, he will donate 15 % of Tuscany Downs gross

profits to the people of the Tuscany Valley.

How about that?

That means better roads, better health facilities, better schools.

and much, much more for all of us. Thank you, Richard. Thank you very much.

Probably something in the trunk of a car that shouldn't be there.

Remember, Linda, you gave me your word.

You know, Melissa, I'm not really sure I can buy this particular guilt trip of

yours.

What was that all about?

Cole's making it impossible for me to see Joseph.

All I get are insults.

Maybe he and I need to have a little talk.

You were wonderful.

Thank you.

We're getting out of here none too soon.

Cole?

I want you to stop hassling my wife.

You're drunk.

It's not going to stop me from giving you a little lesson in manners.

Look, I don't want to fight.

I do.

Hey, I'm talking to you.

Lance, go get yourself a cup of coffee, will you?

I'm tired of you telling me what to do.

As a matter of fact, I'm sick of you and your whole family.

So let's go.

Entirely my pleasure.

Hey!

Come here!

You gentlemen aren't leaving, are you? We've got two more races today. You

still get lucky.

This is a deadly game of cat and mouse you're playing, Richard. Not only have I

played it, I've won.

I must say I respect your tenacity.

A compliment.

Acknowledged. Remember, though, that the cartel is an immortal enemy. It can't

be vanquished.

You really should savor this victory.

Oh, I do. My only regret is it's mine alone.

I wanted Pamela here to share it with me. Oh, I can understand that.

I won't rest until I find her.

You do know that, don't you, Crane?

There's one thing I've never doubted, Richard. It's your sincerity.

Want me to call the auto club?

Well, I suppose it could have been worse.

I think you should have just walked away from him.

I'm tired of walking away from Lance. No, he had it coming today.

Now, I was particularly impressed with his backstroke.

Well, what are you doing here? You just left.

We couldn't wait to get back. Well, come on in. Well, you must have hated

Mexico. We never even made it across the border.

What are you talking about? You just flew out of here a couple of days ago.

stopped off in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas? Mm -hmm.

You got married?

Yep.

You are looking at Dr.

and Mrs.

Michael Ransom.

Well, well.

This calls for champagne.

Thank you very much. Why didn't you tell us? Well, we wanted to keep a temple

just between the two of us, you know. Well, you're not going to get away with

that. I'm throwing you an enormous party, whether you want it or not. Wait

minute. Before you throw any parties, there is somebody I'm dying to tell

personally.

Terry, who are you calling? Call this caddy, but I am just itching to do this.

Channing residence.

Is Mrs. Channing in, please?

One moment, please. Mrs. Channing, Terry Hartford for you.

Hello? Hello, Terry. How are you?

Never better.

Especially now that Michael and I are married.

Oh.

That's wonderful.

Congratulations.

Maybe now you'll stop harassing me. I'm staying in this valley, Angela, with the

rest of my family.

Bye.

Congratulations for what?

Michael and Terry are married.

What?

I'm not surprised.

She's the perfect predator and he's the perfect victim.

Melissa, don't be so cynical.

What counts is that they care about each other and they want the world to know

it.

Just as I do.

I'd like to propose a toast.

To Angela.

My fiancée.

Really, Philip?

Is he serious?

Mother, why didn't you tell us?

I really didn't have a chance.

Why did you do that?

Your own family has a right to know how we feel about each other. But I have a

right to tell them. No more than I do.

This is going to be a 50 -50 marriage, Angela.

Equal partners.

Who said anything about marriage?

All I said was that I was going to start to learn to trust you again.

You're going to have to get used to the idea of sharing authority once we're

married. There's that word again.

I don't share authority.

I delegate it.

What kind of husband would I be to simply accept whatever authority you

to delegate?

So now it's husband.

Husband.

In every sense of the word, friend, lover, companion.

If I didn't have my feet firmly planted on the ground, you'd have my head

spinning. Good.

That was my intent.

But you certainly like to sweet -talk a girl, don't you? When I'm in love, yes.

You know, we were made for each other, Angela.

My father used to call me a hellcat.

Were you meant to marry a Hellcat?

We'd make a hell of a team.

Really?

Say you'll marry me.

Well, I... I think I will.

A little more romantically, if you please. Oh, Philip.

truly love you.

And I want to marry you.

Would you accept a little token of my love for you?

Sweet. That's a perfect 12 -carat ice blue solitaire.

Well, that just makes us a perfect 12 -carat couple, doesn't it?

Well, this is where I turn off, ma 'am.

Thanks. You know, thumbing rides at night can get pretty dangerous.

That's all right. I'm getting pretty close to home now.

You must really need to get there.

Yes, I have to bury my mother.
