Julia is alive, whether you believe it or not.

Lorraine.

I don't know what to call you anymore, Richard or Dad.

My mother's dead, Emma. I know what I saw.

You got a very expensive habit, Joel. You already attacked my sister to help

for it.

I had nothing to do with that.

Julia, I knew you were alive.

Emma, tell me, what exactly did you see?

It was Julia. She's still alive. She was just standing there. I called to her.

She ran away. Mother, we've got to find her.

Charlie, will you get Emma some brandy, please? I don't need any brandy. Mother,

didn't you hear what I said?

Julia is out there. We'll look for her in the morning. You don't believe me, do

you? Well, of course I... Mother, I know what I saw. Now Julia needs us. She's

out there. She's frightened.

Here you are, Emma.

No, thank you, Tully. I don't need any brandy, Mother.

Julia is alive, whether you believe it or not. Yes, yes, darling, but you go on

upstairs. No, I'm not going upstairs. I have to go and find Julia.

Tully, we've got to go and find Julia.

Please believe me. She's out there. She was frightened.

The painters and drivers are now on the road.

You're alone?

Yes.

And I'd like to stay that way.

Don't worry. So would we.

How are you doing in that great, big, empty house of yours?

Fine.

But I wonder why you're so interested.

I guess that's a question you should be asking him.

Come on, Lance. Let's find a table.

Terry? Lance? Shall we?

We are keeping some interesting company these days, aren't we, Greg?

It's the only kind of company to keep.

Hi.

Come on, you've been working too hard. I'm taking you to lunch.

I'd love it.

I've been getting to one point where the point of all this is you can't fly the

flat thing anymore.

Honey, it's all going to work out. Alan Caldwell, the very tenacious

investigator, the FAA will get to the bottom of it. I talked to the lawyer in

Washington this morning. He said Caldwell should be back in town by the

the week. Is he coming here?

No, I'm going there.

He doesn't know it yet, but we are going to have a very long and intense talk.

Napoleon's finest.

Richard Chenning is also a great admirer of toy soldiers. Perhaps you can

compare collections someday.

I don't wish to share hobbies with him. I wish to bury him.

What did you find out?

There's a vineyard for sale on the east ridge of the valley.

Hmm. And it's someplace adjacent to Falconcrest.

We're going to have to acquire all the surrounding property someday anyway.

If we ever hope to search for the Falconcrest treasure in private.

And if to land around Falconcrest is available.

There will be.

I want a home.

And an unwilling seller is no reason why I shouldn't have one.

I'll get back to the transportation shed if there are any other problems.

Okay.

How's he working out?

Well, he may have raced cars before he got here.

Then he can take apart a tractor engine and put it back together again with his

eyes closed.

Great.

Look at this.

One of the workers found it in our San Rodrigo Creek venue.

Meal moss?

Yeah. The first spring should have knocked them out. It should have, but it

didn't. So we're going to have to spray again as soon as possible.

You want me to make the arrangements?

Yeah, I'd appreciate it. Of course, I'd do it myself if I hadn't been grounded.

Do it anyway and make a pass or two over Angela's house while you're at it.

Listen, I've got to get up to Sam Giannini's house. If we've got meal

does too.

See you later.

A little late to be starting work, don't you think?

Had a little trouble at the ranch this morning. Rough night, too.

Melissa's a talker.

You know, you seem awfully concerned for a man who's divorcing her.

Melissa is no longer a friend of Falcon Crest. You'd be wise not to associate

with her.

What's this about Melissa?

I just took her to the turf club last night.

What did you think of her?

Charming, but cagey.

Do you approve of this?

I suggested it.

Oh, and by the way, I'm inviting Terry for dinner.

I think it's time we include her in some of our family gatherings.

Between you and your dinner parties and Greg's outings with Melissa, you seem to

be setting traps all over the valley.

Come on in, Greg.

Hello, Angela.

Hello, everybody.

Sorry I'm late.

My name is Richard Channing, for those of you I haven't met, but looking around

here, I believe I've met everyone.

The reason I'm here this morning is to get some ideas.

Ideas on the things that I can do to make this station the finest, most

successful, most popular station in the city.

The question is, how do we do it?

We need good ideas.

So if you have any, now's your chance.

The floor is yours.

Yes. Mr. Channing, in my opinion, this already is the finest radio station in

San Francisco.

I've been the general manager here for just over a decade.

And in that time, we've won more than our share of journalism awards.

You've also lost more than your share of money.

Right now, I'm much more interested in looking toward the future.

Then I am in reviewing past glories.

All right?

Anybody else?

Mr. Channing, when you took over the New Globe, it was a highly respected

newspaper. It still is?

It's certainly popular.

Ah, yes, I doubled the circulation. I'm not going to apologize for that. What

are you afraid of?

You think I'm going to turn this station into a, what, a tabloid of the

airwaves?

I think we'd all like to know what your plans are.

My current plans are to get some ideas from my staff, but I don't seem to be

getting anywhere.

Anybody?

Come on.

We all want to do our best, Mr. Channing. This is a class act.

These are good people.

The best decision you ever made was to buy this radio station. I couldn't agree

more. And I'm sure you're all good people.

Why do I get into these things?

I think you've given them every opportunity.

All right. I thank all of you for your thoughts.

I don't think there's been any creativity or innovation around here for

time, and that is the reason for your low ratings.

I need some new blood.

I'm going to fire all of you.

You can't do that to us.

Sam.

I want you cleared out of your office within the hour.

But these people have given their lives to this radio station.

To the old station.

You don't seem to understand. There isn't room for your kind of broadcasting

here anymore.

This gentleman will assist you if you have difficulty vacating your office.

Shall we?

I haven't spotted any insects, but I'm bound to if you've got them. Yeah, these

nasty little pests are no respect as offenses.

Hey, I'm glad to share the cost of the crop duster with you.

Oh, thanks, Sam. I'll tell my son he's making the arrangement.

Hey, by the way, you got a raw deal from those FAA guys.

And from the Board of Supervisors.

Well, thanks a lot. I'll tell him you said so. You do that.

All right, Sam. I'll see you later.

This is perfect.

Isolated, pleasant.

A stone's throw from Falcon Crest.

The house has just burned the ridge.

It is owned by Mr. Cimini.

He's already turned down one offer from me.

Then we'll make him another. And pray he doesn't refuse us again.

For his sake.

Our sales division, so -called sales division, is down here.

Ad revenue has been dropping for years.

Along with the ratings. I expect to see an improvement in both areas.

That's why I want to go with a magazine format.

Talk shows, fast -breaking local news, sport, advice to the loved one, whatever

it takes.

Hello, Mr. Sims.

Mr. Channing.

I'd like you to meet Frank Taggart, our new general manager. Clark Sims, our old

one.

How do you do?

Mr. Taggart here makes it a habit of putting dying stations on the map why he

has got one of the best reputations in this country.

I'd better get out of here.

My hour is almost up. Oh, no. Hold on. You've still got a few seconds.

Let's see. What have you got here? I believe this belongs to the station.

I've got a lot of personal telephone numbers in that file.

Uh -huh.

Taggart. I want you to sort through this, and I want you to find the

numbers of Mr. Sims' personal friends, and I want you to send them to him.

I have my own phone file. I didn't need his.

Consider it an object lesson, then.

Put this on your desk, and every time you look at it, you remember that you

the highest -paid station manager in this country.

And if I don't get performance and cooperation from you, your farewell will

as ungracious as his.

I get to work.

Have a nice day.

I'll have to give Charlie my compliments.

This is the best Kiwi dessert I've ever tasted. Well, it should be. I had the

Kiwis flown in from New Zealand this morning.

I would have been just as happy with a pound cake. Oh, I'm sure you would.

Thank you, Charlie.

Now, this is a late harvest Riesling we've just released.

And a few more years in the cellar.

The grapes came from the vineyard that Michael left you, Terry.

And Angela would like to renew the contract.

On your harvest, we will, of course, make you a very generous offer.

That explains your sudden interest in my welfare, doesn't it?

Why, only a few months ago, you were doing everything you could to get me out

the valley.

Well, I just didn't realize what a resourceful woman you are.

Terry has resources you've never dreamed of, grandmother.

Emma, where have you been all day?

Visiting Julia's old haunts. I didn't find anything.

My mother's dead, Emma.

I'm tired of people not believing me.

I know what I saw.

Terry, I'm so sorry you had to hear that.

Poor little Emma has such a vivid imagination.

Putting a three -year -old storming around the house at the crack of dawn

is putting a crimp on our lifestyle.

What's wrong?

I was sitting here reading and suddenly... I don't know what's wrong.

Damn it.

I was thinking about my father, about the adoption. I just have all these

questions.

But I'm telling you, if I don't get some answers, I'm just going to... I don't

know.

Maybe it's time we started looking for the answers.

You know what? I think maybe what I should do is just go up and see my dad.

He's at that Indian dig in Massachusetts.

I'm sure he can tell me something about my real parents.

Why bring him into it at all? Honey, I don't want to keep this a secret from

him, and I'm just doing the same thing with him that he did with me.

Would you like to have some company?

I would love some company, but don't you have a lot of things to do here?

Well, I've got to go to Washington at the end of the week anyway, so... When

we leave?

When we wake up.

Knife at a wheel.

What are you doing here?

I work here now.

I'll put a stop to that just as soon as I talk to Lance.

He's at the newspaper this morning.

Get out of my way.

I have something to show you.

The results of a search for the Florida divorce court.

Your attorney never bothered to file for the final papers.

You put your trust in the wrong guy. We're still married, just like I said.

You can tear up as many copies as you want. The original is in a very safe

place. Stay away from me.

Are you kidding?

You're going to make me rich.

You're not going to blackmail me.

Suit yourself.

As soon as I turn that document over to court of law, you're going to lose

everything you just inherited, including that hot little car.

One phone call to the sheriff and you're going to go straight to jail.

You got a very expensive habit, Joel. You already attacked my sister to help

for it.

Nothing to do with that.

Don't you lie to me. I know how you operate.

That's why I left you.

Go ahead. Call whoever you want.

Kiss everything you want goodbye.

Start writing.

By tomorrow morning, the results of that search are going to be on file with the

DA.

Ten grand.

I'll consider it a down payment.

Let's go back to Miami.

I can't do that.

I love you too much to leave you now.

You know, the right training.

This fellow made quite a polo pony.

My husband plays polo. I think I've lost my appetite for this boy.

Oh, thanks for the ride.

You're welcome.

At

least

you haven't lost your appetite for everything.

I'm, uh...

Maybe in about six more stalls.

I really want to start breeding.

Then you really should come over to my place.

Let me show you around.

I've got 44 horses, state -of -the -art equipment.

I've just been waiting for an invitation.

An invitation?

How many invitations do you need?

Several.

Then come next week.

I'm boarding.

A yearling filly by the name of Small Virtue, a friend of mine, and a $500

horse with a $10 million future.

Should we sell?

You've got a cool half million to spend.

If you're so high on this horse, why don't you buy it?

It's much too much money for a mere attorney to risk on a horse.

Would it make things easier if you had a partner?

It would make things easier.

But if you're intending to breed, you should be going after stallions.

Yeah, hi.

Chase, hey.

This is the surprise of my life. What are you doing all the way out here? All

the way out here is right. We had a heck of a time finding this place.

One of the early white settlers.

That's why this small tribe was able to endure in peace all of these years.

Well,

I'll tell you, you look great. Better than you've looked in years. Top of the

world, Maggie.

Good. This is a gold mine.

There's tools, there are baskets, there are remnants of a campfire.

And we've only just started.

And you came about your adoption.

I'm going to look around, get a drink of water, leave you two alone.

Oh, I knew you'd come sooner or later, Maggie.

You were never one to accept anything but the raw truth.

I certainly wasn't going to.

spring this on you in the first five minutes, you know?

It's a terrible thing, holding this back from you all this time, Maggie.

I hope I haven't lost you. Oh, of course you haven't.

But, Dad, you know me.

I need some answers. I'm not going to need peace of mind until I get them.

Your mother and I got you from the Farrell County Adoption Agency in New

Beyond that, I don't know.

I'll never care to find out.

Well, you are planning a rather lavish development, Richard. Yes, but I

you to exercise some restraint in drawing up these plans.

Yes.

There's a young lady at the gate. Says that it's urgent that she talks with

How young?

I'm always in the mood for young women on urgent missions.

Foster threw the metal detector and sent her up.

Amala, you didn't even get her name. Why? You seemed eager enough without it.

Oh, my, my. We are testy this afternoon, aren't we?

Well, why shouldn't I be?

I mean, I go to all the trouble to follow your specifications for these

condominiums, and you tell me that they cost too much.

Yes, but this is only the construction cost. You haven't told me how much I'm

going to have to pay for the land.

Sixty -eight million dollars.

Why don't we try something just a little more modern on the big island?

You're the most exasperating man I've ever met.

Oh, what a nice couple.

Lorraine. I don't know what to call you anymore.

Richard or Dad.

I

think

a toast is in order.

To a happy reunion.

Go ahead. Thank you.

Thank you, David.

Cheers.

Poor Pamela, every now and then a secret rises up from my past and bites her. I

didn't even know he had a stepdaughter.

I didn't even know he'd been married.

Why wouldn't Colwood he and her mother had a marriage?

Stephanie and I were divorced six years ago.

I think that was the last time I saw you.

Let's sit down.

Lorraine comes from a rather illustrious family. Her grandfather's Eric Hoffman.

I'm impressed.

Don't be.

He's mean, ruthless, vindictive, and very, very rich.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to leave the two of you. So,

I

want to know what you're really doing here, young lady.

Well... I've been studying journalism.

And I need to apprentice somewhere.

I see.

Well, that's a shame. I used to own a newspaper.

However, I just bought a radio station.

Do you think you can help me?

Of course I can help you.

Do you have a place to stay?

Yeah, I thought I'd stay at the Tuscany Inn. You're not going to stay at the

Tuscany Inn. You'll stay right here.

Oh, I couldn't impose.

I insist.

But I'm afraid of Doberman.

So am I.

You're going to have me calling you dad again.

Number 81. Oh, that's so funny.

Hello. Hello.

My name is Chase Giberti. This is my wife, Maggie. We've come from San

Francisco. I just recently discovered that I'm adopted through

this agency, and I'm interested in finding my birth parents.

The state of New York does not permit access to adoption files.

Well, we weren't expecting you to hand over the information. We thought that

perhaps Maggie's birth parents would...

welcomed such a contact, and we're hoping you could get in touch with him.

sorry, but state law doesn't allow us to get involved in any way.

Oh, this is very important to me. I'm sorry, Mrs.

Gioberti, but my hands are tied.

Until the laws are rewritten, there isn't a thing I can do. I'm very, very

sorry. Well, we weren't exactly expecting sympathy. We were looking for

I've given you the only answer that I can.

Number 82.

We're in the master bedroom.

Could you seal off the rest of the house? Tell them to be quiet. I don't

them to alarm Lorraine.

And if you could keep the noise level down.

Mr. Channing has a house guest.

All right.

Good night.

You know, I don't think your security people could frighten Lorraine any more

than she already is.

I mean, she...

She's passed through a metal detector. She's walked to the front door with an

armed guard and an attack dog. I know that. I just want her to be comfortable.

I know.

You care for her a lot, don't you?

Yes, I suppose I do.

Why shouldn't I have raised her?

I had to. Her real father abandoned the family.

Why didn't you tell me you were married?

Because it is not a subject I am crazy about discussing, all right? Oh, fine,

fine.

I wonder how long she's going to stay.

Well, she uprooted herself.

I mean, she came here looking for work, for a place to live.

That sounds pretty permanent to me.

And you sound rather worried all of a sudden.

Yes, I'm worried. Readman's out there somewhere, watching, waiting.

You know, sooner or later, he's going to make another move on me, and I don't

want her to get caught in a crossfire.

She couldn't be safer than she is right here.

She believes in me.

Yes.

And you're worried that you can't live up to her expectations. Is that what it

is?

I used to take her across the street to Central Park, and we'd fly a kite all

day long until it got so dark you couldn't see it. I don't suppose we can

that anymore.

Yes, but what happened between you and Stephanie?

The cartel happened.

And ruined everything, huh?

Yeah.

And it cost me a little girl.

Mr. Giannini.

What can I do for you? My name is Jean -Louis de Berthier.

I was wondering if you had a few minutes.

This is my wife, Mary.

Nice to meet you. How are you?

Thank you.

I hear you've opened an office in town.

News travels fast.

I got a phone call from one of your associates a couple of days ago.

He told me you're interested in buying my property.

And you said no.

I thought perhaps a more personal approach might be in order.

You don't know my husband, Mr. DeBercy.

He's closer to these vineyards than he is to me.

My wife exaggerates, but she's right about one thing.

This land is in my blood.

I'll never part with it.

I'm prepared to make you a very rich man.

I am already rich.

I have my family, my land, my vini fermenti.

It's a small operation, but one of the best.

You know, most of the people in this valley have been here for generations.

You're going to find it very difficult to buy property here.

Yes.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

You should change your mind.

I won't.

How did it go?

I'm deeply disappointed in Mr. Giannini.

Please convey my disappointment personally.

Take me back to the office.

I'm learning myself. This is the control room.

My office is upstairs. When I'm not at the track, that's where you'll find me.

I'll call Taggart.

I expect you to learn about all of these gadgets here.

Yes, would you have Taggart come down to the control room?

Right. Right away. Thank you.

Well... So, uh...

What do you think of KRDC?

I'm impressed.

And not just with the station.

You know, I've read everything I could about you.

You've become quite a celebrity, Dad.

Just make a Richard around here.

Celebrity.

Terrific.

I'm surprised that you would want to see me after reading those articles. They

weren't too flattering, I'll bet.

Well, I didn't say I believed everything I read.

I mean, just because you're a success, some writers make you out to be a

ruthless monster.

And you're certainly not that.

I try to be fair.

Mr. Channing?

Taggart.

I have somebody I want you to meet.

This is my stepdaughter, Lorraine Prescott.

How do you do? Mr. Taggart is our general manager.

I understand I'm supposed to put you to work as a trainee.

Start her at the bottom. You've got to work your way up around here.

All right?

I'll leave you two alone.

Keep her busy.

Shall we?

Lance, will you come in here for a moment, please?

Hello, Grandmother.

I'm surprised to see you home so early.

Well, the editorial meeting ended a little sooner than I thought.

Where were you last night? Another editorial meeting?

Last night, Lester. I spent the night with Terry.

I wish you'd make that relationship a little more permanent.

She's not my type.

Well, I hope you mentioned that to her before you went to bed with her. That

would flip my mind.

By the way, did you know that Richard has a 19 -year -old stepdaughter named

Lorraine Prescott?

Um, yes, Philip mentioned something about that.

Yes.

She's living with him.

Hey, mermaid.

Hi.

Since you don't live at Falcon Crest anymore, you can't use the pool anymore.

I'm Angela's heir.

This will all be mine someday.

I don't see the harm in using the facilities.

Get out now.

I need my exerciser. I'm a grouch all day. If you don't get out right now...

I'm going to come in and get you.

Come on.

Are you kidding?

I'm not playing any games with you. You really shouldn't go to all this trouble,

Lance. No trouble at all.

The water feels great.

I bet it does. And I'm going to experience it shortly.

I love that shirt.

You bought it?

Good morning, Melissa.

I didn't know we were going to have company.

He was about to pull me out of the water.

Melissa is an invited guest. I do hope you're fine.

Of course, you're very welcome to join us. It would be nice if you changed in

the house.

Guess I'm going to need another cup of coffee.

It'll be another year and a half before you wrap this thing up.

In the meantime, my client has been held up to public ridicule for something he

has not done.

Mr. Giberti has been charged with a grave error of judgment.

He's lucky he's still alive.

I'm aware of my good fortune.

But I wasn't aware of any fuel leak, and I wouldn't have taken off if I had

been. Mr. Culver, look. My husband, up until this accident, logged 14 ,000

of flying time without a mishap. Now, why would he make such a blatantly

error?

I used to be a commercial pilot myself.

And a damn good one.

Took a lot of pride in my flying record.

Then you can understand what I'm going through.

Off the record, I think we acted too hastily.

But that's just part of the reality of life here in Washington.

Sounds to me like some heavy -duty arm -twisting was going on.

Well, let's just say that Senator Silverlake has taken a keen personal

in this case.

I don't know what caused the fire, but I do know you did a sensational job

bringing that plane down.

Any man who can fly like that isn't the kind to take chances on takeoff. This is

still off the record, of course.

Of course.

This is a copy of everything we've compiled so far.

I don't usually do this, but...

I'd like you to look it over.

Thank you. We'll take care of it.

We'll be in touch.

Keep it under your hat.

Absolutely.

You know the story about the building commission? It's buried on page four.

What's it doing there?

I'll call you back.

I'm surprised my secretary didn't announce you.

I told her not to.

I just stopped by to say hello.

You never go anywhere just to say hello.

You go for hours out of your way to check up on me, though.

Well, I see you haven't changed the furniture.

It still reflects Richard's poor taste and not your upbringing.

Well, I suppose I could put a mounted shark over there to remind me of home.

Pleasantries aside, do you have any plans tonight?

Yes. Cancel them.

I want you to take me to the turf club.

The turf club?

You swore to me that you never set foot in that racetrack.

Well, I understand he's losing money on his non -bedding customers in that fancy

restaurant of his.

And besides, wherever Richard goes, his stepdaughter is sure to go with him.

That is, if she's his stepdaughter.

And you're just dying to meet her.

Aren't you?

Good evening, Miss Channing. Good evening.

Your usual table, Mr. Compson? Yes, Pierre. Please get it ready for us.

meet you in the dining room in a few minutes.

Of course. Your usual table?

How much money do you gamble away at this place?

I like the food.

There they are.

Richard?

Pamela? Hello, Angela.

Please don't get up.

I didn't know you were a harness racing fan.

I'm not.

I don't think we've met.

I'm Angela Channing. And this is my grandson, Lance Compson.

I understand that you're Richard's house guest.

News does travel fast around here.

This is my stepdaughter, Lorraine Prescott.

We were just having a quiet dinner.

Alone.

Oh, well, then we won't disturb you.

But you must come up to Falcon Crest and we can get better acquainted. Thank

you. I'd like that.

How would I?

Well, we'll see you soon, I hope.

Shall we?

There's got to be a word for that woman.

Oh, there is.

But I'm not going to use it.

Excuse me.

What's going on?

Oh, it's all right.

Richard's just rolling out the welcome wagon.

Just a second, you two.

Excuse us.

A young woman means a great deal to me, so I want you to keep away from her. And

that goes for you, too, Junior.

Well, is that a way to treat a customer in your fancy establishment?

I'm sure you can dig up a girl someplace around here who needs money bad enough

she'll put up with him.

But you're not going to sink your claws into my daughter.

Your stepdaughter, I believe.

Just don't expect her to come calling anytime soon.

Enjoy your dinner.

Well, now I know that Richard has a soft spot.

Your table is ready. Very good.

Grandma?

Grandma?

Julia.

Julia. I knew you were alive.

Maybe mother will believe me now.

No, you mustn't tell mother.

No, you must promise me. Don't tell Mother.

Why?

I'm not ready to see her yet.

You must promise.

I promise.

Julia, the fire in the spring house, how did you ever live through it?

I knew there was a secret way out before I ever bolted myself in.

I didn't count on the fire.

But I did think the sheriff might come.

Where have you been living all this time?

I've been waiting on tables in Idaho.

This house, this place, it just tugged at me like a magnet.

When I first got here, I was staying in the gardener's shack until somebody

started locking the door.

The last couple of nights, I'd been in an abandoned house down the road. You

from me when I saw you.

I was scared.

Julia, don't ever do that again.

I love you. Oh, I love you too, Emma.

Oh, I do love you so.

That's why you have to help me.

Emma, I need money.

I know. I'll let you have the safe.

Wait a minute.

I can't go in there.

Just get the money. A couple thousand dollars will be fine.

Hurry.

Or you'll be gone forever.

No!
