There's infestation in the north vineyards.

I'll line up a plane as soon as possible. Now, do me a favor. Line up a

too. You're really worried about him, aren't you?

If anything happens to Chase tomorrow, I'll have the blood of another man on my

hands. I'm not going to crash that plane.

I know that, Chase. I just wonder if you do.

I warned you. If anything happened to my family, you'd pay for it.

It looks like he's coming right...

We need another 800 pounds of thrust.

Fort Tango Delta, this is Denver. Do you read?

Denver, this is Fort Tango Delta. I'm declaring an emergency.

Suggest a heading at 030 degrees to the Cannon City Airport.

It's on fire.

We've been sabotaged.

Oh, hell, Denver, we're going down.

hydraulic panel apart with my bare hands.

Jack and I got it leveled off, but we were still losing 3 ,000 feet a minute.

Chase, you brought that plane under control. Your landing was brilliant.

is nothing more you could have done.

I wish I could be so sure of that.

Maybe nightmares would stop.

It says, according to sources, the cause of the crash has not yet been

determined. Alan Caldwell, who heads the government's investigative team, has

arrived in San Francisco to begin questioning the passengers of the ill

plane.

I can't wait for him to question me.

I'll tell him exactly what caused that crash. The pilot.

If it weren't for Chase, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Well, maybe Mr.

Caldwell's confusion is an opportunity we've been waiting for.

What do you have in mind?

I want to make him aware of the facts.

There's a Mr. Hawthorne here to see you, Miss Channing. Oh, yes, Charlie. Send

him down.

Now, you behave yourself.

Absolutely.

Good morning, Mrs. Channing. Good morning.

This is my grandson, Lance Compton. Good morning.

Mr. Hawthorne, won't you sit down, please, is trying to help me find a new

attorney. I think we've found him.

His credentials are impeccable.

Started out as a criminal attorney, but he's made quite a reputation for himself

in corporate law as well.

Greg Reardon?

Yes, do you know him?

Yes, he came to see me last week, and I wasn't interested.

And I'm not interested now.

You'd be making a terrible mistake not to consider him.

What did he pay you to give this recommendation?

I don't operate like that.

Take a look at the report.

International background.

Stanford Law School.

Extensive courtroom experience.

Half a dozen successful appearances before the Supreme Court.

He'd do a sensational job for you.

The only question in my mind, Mrs. Channing, is whether you could afford

She can afford anything she wants.

But she can't afford me anymore.

I don't like being accused of playing both sides of the fence.

Good day, Mrs. Channing.

Testy guy, isn't he?

How are you feeling?

Oh, I'm feeling a little better every day.

At least I don't have to listen to spirits that are incessant questions

I hope you didn't give him too many answers.

It all seems like a distant memory now.

They put me through hell, Richard.

Moving me from place to place, the threats, the abuse.

You've got to put all those memories behind you, once and for all.

Why don't you come to work?

I thought you'd never ask.

I thought you'd given up on me. Oh, nonsense.

Listen, I tell you what.

Why don't you get dressed in a bit? Because there is a very exciting

meeting you could handle for me.

I'd appreciate it.

I'd love to.

I'll see you this afternoon.

Well, it's almost nine. You have a meeting at the airport.

I've restored Miss Lynch to her old position as executive assistant.

Have her followed, though.

I want her under round -the -clock surveillance.

Well, I'll take care of that personally.

She's not the enemy, Padgett. The cartel is.

Hello, Chase.

You all right?

Fine.

You remember Mr. Caldwell from the FAA, don't you?

Of course.

I was under the impression we were meeting alone.

That was Mr. Channing's plane. I took the liberty of inviting him to join us.

I want to go over the pre -flight inspection.

Make sure you didn't overlook anything.

I went by the book.

Whoever sabotaged that plane did a heck of a good job of concealing it.

He's bending over backwards to make a case for sabotage. The mechanic and I

gave that plane a clean bill of health before takeoff.

Now, if you really want to get to the bottom of this, bring in the FBI and

asking questions about Richard and his shady business dealings. Out of line,

Chase. You are both out of line.

I'm going to look into every possibility, including pilot error and

And believe me, before this thing is over, I'm going to know exactly what

happened. Come on. We've got a long morning ahead of us.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Oh, just call it a friendly visit, unless, of course, you have some

I'm glad you used your key. You'd be ashamed to bother Charlie.

Keep it.

I'd rather be a bother.

You know, for somebody who doesn't live here anymore, you certainly don't waste

any time making yourself at home.

I came by to get some things I forgot to take with me.

Unless, of course, you'd rather keep some of the mementos of my marriage.

No, no.

The list of demands your lawyer sent over was memento enough for me. Thank

very much.

Melissa, you're not going to get away with a $10 million cash settlement.

You should be grateful. I could have asked for a lot more.

You did.

The day you asked my grandmother to make you her heir.

That was her idea, not mine.

Have you seen Joseph lately?

I don't have to take this.

Oh, she has a conscience now.

Well, that surprises me.

I suppose it was fair trade.

Your son for a piece of land you don't live on anymore.

Oh, I'll live on it, all right, when it's mine to claim.

And I can hardly wait for the day I can evict you.

Hello, Melissa. I thought I heard your voice.

Grandmother, she was just saying how sorry she is that you're in such good

health. I think she's a little too eager to grab her inheritance, don't you?

That was uncalled for.

Why? It's the truth.

She happens to own one of the finest vineyards in the valley.

And without her harvest, our wines would be just run -of -the -mill.

Well, I'll keep that in mind, just as soon as you cut her out of your will.

Well, this is really very nice.

I thought you'd forgotten my birthday. You do recognize the car, don't you?

Of course.

How did you know I wanted one? The same automobile Angela Channing uses.

Identical to the very last detail.

You do have a one -track mind, don't you?

Listen, we have to worry about more than Falcon Crest, otherwise we'll never

hold on to the cartel. You want the Reefman pressure as badly as I do.

We need to find it first. It can be buried anywhere on that property.

If only that plane crash had worked out.

It would have been so simple to take control of Falcon Crest.

I hope he does.

If not, we are in for a long wait.

Father, happy birthday.

Thank you.

I'm worried about the condition of both of these casks. They're way past their

prime. Let's get them replaced as soon as possible.

Chase, have you talked to the foreman?

No, why? Is something wrong?

There's infestation in the north vineyards. They found meal moths in a

the traps.

What about the vines?

There hasn't been any damage yet.

But if we don't spray, you can bet your life there will be. I'll line up a plane

as soon as possible.

Do me a favor and line up a pilot, too.

I want you to watch from the ground this time.

I don't suppose that's because of any concern for my safety.

My husband is dead.

And I don't need any reminders of that horrible day.

You got a lot of nerve, Angela.

If my father hadn't been flying that plane, there wouldn't have been any

survivors.

Somebody got to Richard's plane. It was... I don't know how with it. Let's

home.

I assume you'll pay half the cost of the dusting. I will pay my share, and I

will pilot the plane. If you don't want to watch, you can catch a matinee in the

city.

I'm afraid this is the only crop duster we have left, Mr. Gilbert.

What's wrong with this one?

Well, it doesn't quite have the capacity of the rest of the fleet.

But you can always put down and load her up again.

Looks like an old spreader.

Yeah, but she works fine.

I'd like to hear the engine.

Sure thing.

If you have any reservations, why don't we just hire somebody to do it? If you

don't mind, I'll take care of the inspection.

Take care.

We're out of the path, Buster.

I'll know as soon as I take a look at the logbook.

That's a very impressive animal, Mr. Reardon.

In foal?

Yep. She's due in January.

You know, I thought it'd be a cold day in hell before I saw you again, Mrs.

Channing.

Well, I came by because I've reconsidered.

I want you to come to work for me.

It's just too bad.

I've done some reconsidering of my own.

And I've withdrawn my application.

Well, I've reviewed your credentials, and I think we'd make a good pair.

I have a nice job offer from an oil company in Los Angeles.

Very pleasant people. Not abrasive at all.

Well, I'm abrasive to a fault.

Now, I'm offering you $35 ,000 a month for your exclusive services.

I can earn that much chasing ambulances.

Oh, I don't think chasing ambulances is the way to the governor's mansion.

You see, I made a few phone calls last night, and I'm fully aware of your

political ambitions, and I know that I'm in a position to help.

You know, I'd hate to sit around Falconcrest waiting for you to fulfill a

promise you have no intention of keeping.

You work for me for one year, and I will guarantee you a gratifying political

career, and you know that I can deliver.

Put it in writing, Mrs. Channing.

You're the attorney. You draw up the papers.

And you can call me Angela.

Right.

John, I've got to get to the winery.

Yeah, I'm going to go over to Cole.

He's asked me to help him sort through some of Linda's things.

The one of us is looking forward to that.

You hardly said a word all the way back from the airfield. What's the problem?

You think I'm making a mistake?

Chase, I am so proud of you. You never let anything get the best of you. But

today at the airport, you were so tense.

I'm not going to crash that plane.

I know that, Chase. I just wonder if you do.

You had that poor man doing handsprings out there over some little...

single engine plane that a month ago you would have flown without thinking twice

about it.

Why are you putting yourself through this?

If I don't climb back in a plane now, I may never get in one again.

You don't have to put yourself through this. Why don't I just sort out the rest

of Linda's things for you, all right?

Perfect.

Oh, you've been so brave. I think you've been too brave.

It's all right. Don't fight it.

Is Daddy sad?

Yeah.

We're both sad.

You make me very happy.

Carl?

Maggie.

Hello, Melissa.

Mommy.

Hi, darling.

The front door was wide open. I hope you don't mind.

Carl, I know what you're going through.

I remember what it was like when I was packing my father's things.

What do you want, Melissa?

I was on my way into the city, and I thought Cole and Joseph might like to

Oh, thanks.

I got... things to do.

Can I go?

Sure.

We won't be late.

The FAA has their wreckage cordoned off and under heavy security, and they're

picking through it an inch at a time.

All the noise my dear brother's making about sabotage isn't helping.

If I start digging into that, I could find myself in real trouble.

I'll see you back at the office. Right.

Don't look so surprised.

Come in.

What do you want this time?

Our demands have not changed, Mr. Channing. We are still hopeful for your

cooperation.

One of these days I'm going to have to find out what you mean by that, because

am getting tired of your generalities, almost as tired of them as I am of you.

Our loathing is mutual.

Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to pull this trigger.

You'll have to pardon my ignorance, but isn't that the point of all this?

I'm afraid not.

We are prepared to make you wealthy beyond your wildest dreams.

All we ask is your help in acquiring certain properties in the area.

Well, as much as I would like to be wealthier, I'm afraid you're wasting

time.

Why don't you just kill me?

My orders are to enlist your aid.

Then you failed, Spherus.

Miserably. I'm sure you're going to be a great disappointment to your superiors.

Not nearly so great a disappointment as you are going to be.

Slow down.

I wonder who that is.

I don't know.

But I'm going to find out.

Hi. What can I do for you?

You're Lance Compson.

I'm here to see your grandmother.

My mother doesn't usually see people without an appointment.

And you're Emma, right?

Who are you?

Good afternoon, Mr. Reardon.

Miss Channing is expecting you.

Hello, Greg.

Angela. I see you've met the rest of the family.

Not exactly.

This is Greg Reardon, my new attorney.

How do you do?

You don't look like a lawyer.

Chelly has lunch ready. Come on in.

Angela.

I wonder what kind of attorney she thinks she's hiring.

A fast one.

I get thrown out of a car and all I get is a sprained ankle. I've run through my

share of luck for a while. And I've run out of patience with your excuses. I

don't want to hear any more.

Now, that better be the last time those people penetrate my security.

Yes, sir.

What's going on, Richard?

Spheres popped in for another one of his friendly little visits, which could

have been avoided if my friend here had been more diligent in performing his

job. I can't anticipate every move that man makes. How about just one?

I don't know why I put up with you, pageant. I'll give you one last chance.

Now, if you can't do the job, I'll get someone else who can.

I'll do what I can.

I don't understand do what I can. You either do it or you don't do it. Now,

you've got 24 hours to do it.

Or you're going to be lucky to get a night watchman's job down there at Gump.

You certainly have a way of unnerving a person. Oh, yeah, I sure do.

Tell that to Spheres. He didn't seem at all unnerved.

What did he want, anyway?

Other than me, I'll be damned if I know. He said something about acquiring

property.

I guess that means the cartel's getting ready to make another move on the wine

industry, but he wouldn't tell me any details unless I agreed to cooperate.

Which you didn't, of course.

My dear, I would rather be dead.

Here are the growers' contracts for the coming year. You'll find them in perfect

order. Philip was a marvelous attorney.

I told Caldwell you weren't feeling well this morning.

He wants you to call him at his hotel.

Oh, that's good. That'll give us time to decide what we want to say.

He just wants to ask you a few questions about the plane crash, doesn't he?

Well, I don't understand the problem.

How much do you know about my grandmother and Chase Chewberry?

Enough to know that I'm glad that neither of them has their own nuclear

Chase has done everything in his power to destroy my way of life.

And he almost succeeded the day Philip died.

Now, there must be some way to blame him for that crash.

Well, there could have been any number of reasons for the accident.

Why don't you just let Colville get on with his job?

Look, all my grandmother is suggesting is that you give him a hand.

All your grandmother is suggesting is that I aid and abet her in the

of a felony.

Now, I'm not about to go out and invent evidence to present to a federal

investigative panel.

You are working for me now.

I don't need the job that badly.

Where are you going?

See you in the morning.

Fire him.

Oh, he'll come around.

Do you think Chase was responsible for that accident?

Perhaps.

But I don't see the point of letting such a splendid opportunity go to waste.

Mrs. Chanigan?

Hello? Richard?

These are for Emma.

Well, I didn't think they were for me.

Thank you.

Mind if I come in? No, please do.

I do have something for you.

A check.

From the New Globes insurance carrier covering our liability for the crash.

I know it's not any consolation, but...

I want her to bring it by.

Cole and Terry already have theirs.

I would rather have Philip back.

We all would.

This should have been written on Chase's personal bank account.

After all, he was responsible for the crash.

I'm sure the FAA investigation will come to some sort of reasonable conclusion.

Well, if they don't, I'll get my own investigator.

I'd better be going.

Oh, by the way, did you know that Chase was taking up a crop duster tomorrow

morning?

No, I don't know anything about it.

Seems a little strange.

He had a hard time just being at the airport yesterday.

Well, I don't know what his reason is, but I can tell you one thing.

When I'm through with him, he'll never fly again.

Be sure and give my love to him.

Hello?

Jean.

How did you get this number?

Why are you doing this to me?

Just stay away from me, please.

Hello.

Lance.

I could use some company, too.

He was not cooperating, so I threw him out of the vehicle.

Is that all?

Richard Channing would have been an invaluable heirloom.

Half -brother of Chase Gioberti, pillar of the community.

His racetrack even borders on Falcon Crest.

He would have made an ideal front.

Well, without him there's nothing we can do, so we would be risking exposure at

every turn.

That's absolute nonsense.

We're strong enough now that we don't have to depend on anybody.

How did you leave it?

It's very plain that you would be disappointed in him.

Keep pressuring him.

Without his cooperation, I'm afraid, the Rietman treasure will remain buried at

Falcon Crest.

Send me.

No one knows you have a son.

I'll have Falcon Crest for you in a matter of months. I will not risk the

cartel for a few gems.

There are hundreds of millions of dollars worth of gems and gold and

The answer is no.

Discussion closed.

My father's getting feeble.

This is a young man's battle.

You sound a little bit nervous on the phone. Is everything okay?

Everything's just fine.

Glad to hear it.

Oh, Lan.

Please, I'm in mourning still, remember?

Why were you so eager to invite me over here?

In your bedroom.

Just because I need a little company once in a while doesn't mean I want to

to bed with you.

I don't think it would look proper for us to get involved right now.

You're right.

I suppose I should wait until my divorce is final.

But I don't see any harm in just one little...

could have a late supper i think the turf club's still open and then maybe go

see a couple of harness races i'm a mess i'd have to shower and change

first i'm not sure it's worth the trouble

Do I have to shower you myself?

Or do you think you can manage?

Oh, I think I can manage.

I'll meet you in the living room.

Before you go, could you unbutton my blouse for me?

You're sure?

Thank you very much.

Yes, goodbye.

Just terrific. He's due to take off at 10 o 'clock in the morning.

Why are you so interested in Chaser's crop dusting?

I'm interested in everything that man does, especially when he's scared to

of doing it.

You know, there might be a story in this.

Why don't we get a reporter and a photographer to go to the airport

morning? That's not necessary.

Yeah, but we could run it under the headline, uh...

Pilot of fatal air crash takes to the skies again.

I mean, crop dusting is a dangerous business, especially if Chase is as

as you say. I mean, we might get lucky and see him ditch another airplane. I

said no.

The plane was sabotaged.

The less said about Chase and the pages of the New Globe, the better.

I've never known you miss an opportunity like this before.

Four people died in that crash. The cartel was after me.

Chase shouldn't be going up in that plane at all.

You're really worried about him, aren't you? That's got nothing to do with it.

This is the wrong time for him to be proving himself. He's in no condition to

flying.

You weren't responsible for what happened.

Very kind.

I should have seen him.

If anything happens to Chase tomorrow, I'll have the blood of another man on

my...

Good morning. Good morning.

Did you finish your homework?

Yeah. It wasn't so bad.

Growers' contracts, manufacturers' contracts, all carved from the same

Pretty run -of -the -mill. I'm glad you found your new job so challenging. Why,

it is a little difficult to judge just after one day.

She's waiting to see us.

After you.

Yes, I see.

I'll call you back later.

Thank you.

Morning, Angela.

Good morning.

I didn't expect you so early.

Sit down.

Well, I've been up since 4 .30.

After all, I do have a ranch to run.

Well, on your salary, I'm sure you can hire somebody to do that for you.

I've also reviewed your grower's contracts.

And they're in perfect order.

Lance, would you tell Greg about the conversation you had yesterday?

I spent a couple of hours with a friend of mine at the aircraft industry.

I think we have Chase right where we want him.

I hope this is legitimate.

I'm certain there was fuel leaking from one of the engines of the aircraft.

Somebody on the ground crew must have noticed this.

If we can prove that Chase was warned before he took off, he'll be held liable

for the crash.

And it's our duty to inform the FAA.

I hope you don't intend on tinkering with witnesses and evidence.

Are you with me or against me?

I'm sure if you set your mind to it, there's nothing I can do to stop you.

But it sure as hell isn't going to make it any easier for me to raise my horses.

What are you talking about?

I should be spending all my spare time preparing a criminal defense.

The base powder's in the A tank.

And the insecticide's in the B tank.

So to get the proper mix, switch to both.

Otherwise, all you do is powder your hands. Yeah, yeah, all right.

Thank you.

Sure.

Oh, there's no turning back now.

Sure there is.

You know, I used to think I was invulnerable in the air.

Vietnam.

I never even came close to ditching a plane.

All it takes is once.

And the fear just...

What do you think he's got up his sleeve?

Hello,

Chase. Hey.

Well, this is quite a surprise.

The only surprise is Angela's not here. She's making quite a fuss about your

crop dusting. So what's new? She's against it.

I'm not crazy about it.

Well, I've got a job to do. Excuse me.

You're not going to change his mind, are you?

What are you trying to prove?

Manhood? You can get back in a plane again?

Well, it should be a lot easier this time. I don't think any of your old pals

would bother tampering with a crop duster.

I saw what you were going through at the airport the other day.

Now, if you're so concerned about me, why don't you tell the FAA exactly what

you know about the crash?

I already have, Chase. You tell them about the cartel? That is what it's

isn't it? What were your words?

An international conglomerate founded by our mother?

Murderers? A small group of bankers with worldwide business interest,

I believe is what I said.

That's not what you said when you thought Maggie's life was in danger.

Who were they after this time?

You.

You know, I warned you that if anything happened to my family, I'd... You'd pay

for it.

You'd better learn to sleep with one eye open.

You were right.

Perhaps now he'll back down. Oh, no way.

I think he's fine. I'll see you guys later. Goodbye.

so far so good

it

looks like he's coming right

Looks like things are back to normal.

Let's go

It's far from finished.

You know, she would have approved.

Mother wasn't too hard to please.

After all, she was happy with you and me.

Yes, she was.

I'm going into the city.

It won't be long.

Oh, Gustav, I think it's a good idea if you spent a few days in Amsterdam next

week. It's the only way we can straighten out a European division.

I've already made the arrangements.

Excellent.

Wait for me in the garden.
