Who is it?

The man's not even buried and you're plotting to take over his land.

Well, his vineyards would be in addition to Falcon Crest.

You won't stop at anything to get our land, will you? If I don't buy it from

you, one day I shall buy it from your orphans.

Why am I not welcome in this house?

I am Francesca.

Francesca Giuberti.

Oh, Angela.

Morning, Grandmother.

Good morning.

I've just finished reading The New Globe.

You had no right to exploit Sam Giannini's murder. He was a very good

Grandmother, every daily newspaper in Northern California is going to reprint

that story anyway. I was just doing my job.

Have you seen Emma?

Yeah, she was talking to herself again.

I'm extremely worried about her.

With good reason.

Good morning, Mother.

Good morning, Emma.

How's trick?

Did you sleep well last night?

Like a lob?

You know, there's a doctor in San Francisco I want you to talk to.

A shrink?

No, a psychiatrist.

Mother, I am the only sane person at Falconcrest. I don't need psychiatric

Emma.

Honey, you've been talking to ghosts lately. You need help.

I do not have the faintest idea what you're talking about.

You've been talking to my mother. She's been dead now for a while.

That was a mistake.

Now you don't have to worry about me anymore.

She's gone a wacko, 100 % cuckoo.

You have to be very gentle with her.

Hi. Is there Richard Shanahan?

Maggie.

Richard. Ah, thank you.

Hi. Well, here I am. I'm all ready for work.

Terrific. Let's get you started. Good.

How was your trip back east?

Any luck?

Disappointing. I'm any closer to finding my parents now than I was before I

left. You can't give up.

Perseverance is a kind of magic.

Works wonders.

Perseverance. Perseverance.

End of lecture.

I want you to start off in the continuity room writing copy.

Wait a minute. I thought I was going to be a reporter the way I was at the New

Globe. Yes, but this is a radio station. Writing for print and writing for

broadcast are two different things. I want you to get a feel for writing radio

copy, and then you and I can sit down and you can tell me what you want to do.

There you are.

Hello there. Hi.

I looked for you in your office, but I couldn't find you. That's because I

wasn't there.

I'm right here.

This is Maggie Gioberti.

Hi. Maggie, this is my stepdaughter, Lorraine Prescott.

Well, Lorraine, hello. Nice to meet you. Hi.

Lorraine went to school in Chicago. She wants to be a journalist.

Go back. Go back while they're still taught.

Maggie's been in journalism a long time. You can learn a lot from her.

Do you mind?

Please, of course not.

Maybe you could show me around.

Great. Follow me. Okay. All right. See you later. Thank you, Richard.

Yeah, the FAA may not have been thorough, but they were certainly busy.

a mountain of stuff to sift through here.

Listen, Herb, I'll get back to you later, all right? Take care.

Morning, Angela. You look chipper.

Well, I certainly hope not.

I'm on my way to pay my respects to Mary Giannini.

I'm sure she'll appreciate that.

I could have sent a note, I suppose, but I think a visit would be more

appropriate. After all, Sam was a very good friend of Falconcrest.

He'll be sorely missed.

A very decent man.

He certainly knew how to run a vineyard.

His vines were some of the best in the valley.

It would seem such a shame to have all his hard work go to waste.

Oh, come on, Angela, don't even think it.

Well, his vineyards would be an addition to Falcon Crest.

The man's not even buried, and you're plotting to take over his land.

Mary doesn't need the responsibility of a winery, not at a time like this.

If Mary wants to tell, and I'm sure she doesn't, then let her approach us.

Okay.

You certainly like to drive dangerously.

Oh, there's nothing wrong with a little danger.

Life would be pretty boring without it.

Now, talking of danger, I had a little adventure myself. I bought a drink at

turf club.

I'd love to, but I'm here to spend some time with my son.

Ah, I've been conscientious of you. I didn't realize you took your parenting

quite so seriously.

Maybe you'd like to play mother's little helper one day.

Well, how about tomorrow?

Perhaps I can even show you that filly we talked about.

I'll call you.

I shan't hold my breath.

He finds me attractive for some reason, but I told him I wasn't interested.

Come on.

There you are. I thought you

two would still be on the grand tour.

Maggie's a slave driver. She wanted to get right to work. Oh, come on, this was

Lorraine's idea. I'd forgotten how eager newcomers are. Maggie, this is Mike

Harris. Maggie Gervais. Hi. And this is Lorraine Prescott, my stepdaughter. How

do you do? Mike's a private investigator.

He's done some good work for me, and I recommend him highly.

Richard's told me about your search for your parents.

Isn't this a little presumptuous, Richard?

Well, I don't mean it to be.

You don't have to hire him.

But he is one of the best. I wish I'd known about him when I was looking for

mother.

I can appreciate what you're going through.

I helped dozens of adoptees find their parents. I know I could find yours.

Well, when do we start?

How about today?

Good.

Look, you make complete use of the facilities here. Legal department,

whatever you need.

Lorraine, why don't you show Mike around?

Sure.

Richard.

Thank you. No, no, no. Forget it. I know the anxieties, Maggie, and the

heartbreak.

I understand the need to know your people, where you came from. It's

I know.

Funny, I thought, heck, I'm an adult. I could take this in stride.

And I feel like just...

Mrs. Giannini.

Mr. DeBercy.

I was sorry to hear about your husband's death.

I want you to know that my offer is still open. I'm willing to purchase the

house and the vineyards.

So you mustn't feel burdened.

I don't feel burdened. My husband and I have lived here all our lives.

I intend to carry on, to live here and to raise our children here.

Of course, on consideration, my original offer was much too high.

A several million dollars.

Please leave.

Don't come here again with your insults and your worthless offers.

This vineyard is my life.

Indeed. And it cost the fam his.

The crystal's broken and the face is badly scratched.

I'm sure it has sentimental value.

Where did you get Sam's watch?

Found it.

Lying in the driveway.

The police must have overlooked it in their zealous search for the murderers.

You're lying.

I'm going to call the sheriff.

What do you take me for? I'm not a killer.

I'm concerned about your welfare.

In fact, I've taken the liberty of sending a nurse to your ailing mother.

She still lives in Rome, doesn't she?

How do you know about my mother?

She has a small flat near the Via Veneto.

There's been a great deal of crime in that area lately. And your mother?

So frail, so susceptible.

I thought a nurse was the best solution.

I hope you don't mind.

Of course, I could withdraw the protection at any time.

You won't stop at anything to get our land, will you?

I'm a patient man, Mrs. Giannini.

If I don't buy it from you, one day I shall buy it from your orphans.

Wait!

I'm afraid the outlook is not good, Signora. Ma che vuol dire it's not good?

That tells me nothing!

Deve dirmi la verità.

Signora Gioberti, I would appreciate it if you would please speak English.

Oh, you're right.

And I would appreciate it very much if you would tell me what I must do to save

my vineyard. No one in Europe can give me the right answer.

You are my last chance.

Your vines have a fungus.

I mean, it's called black rot, and it's very common with the type of rootstock

that you've grown here for so many years.

I know all that.

You are supposed to be the expert.

Tell me what I must do.

There's nothing you can do.

I have paid you a great deal of money to come all the way from America.

Don't tell me there is nothing that can be done.

The damage will multiply by the day.

Your vineyard, it's... it's dying.

All the people in this village...

depends on this vineyard for their living. We must do something.

I'm sorry, but the vines must be pulled up and burned.

You still have the land.

If you still insist on remaining in the wine business, you're going to have to

start from the beginning.

Plant new vines.

Start all over.

That will take much money.

Quite a great deal, I'm afraid.

We live well here, but we are not rich. We can't start all over again.

Well, that's too bad, because it'll take a great deal of capital to bring this

vineyard back to life.

This vineyard has lived for more than 200 years.

I will do whatever must be done to make it live again.

You left the door unlocked. Look what I found. It's cold little, um, you know,

identity bracelet that he wore home from the hospital. Maggie, Sam was killed

last night, less than a mile from here. A little caution is in order. Sorry. I

didn't realize it was unlocked. I'll be more careful next time.

I don't mean to be abrupt about it.

Was Cole ever really that small?

Yeah.

Were we ever really that young?

Oh. Why are you dragging all this stuff out?

Because I have hired a private investigator to help me find my parents.

And he suggested I go through these, you know, old photographs, letters, see if

I could find anything that might help.

I hope he can come up with something.

Yeah, me too.

So, you finished going through the FAA files?

Almost. It's a real eye -opener.

Oh.

Bad news?

Lant? And Angela both gave testimony that I was drinking before we took off.

come on. That is ridiculous.

Where would they come up with that?

And a mechanic named Buzz Whitehead claims that he smelled alcohol in my

That is just a blatant lie.

I thought Richard was behind all this, but it's pretty obvious it was Angela.

She even got Whitehead to back her story about fuel leaking from the engines.

Well, honey, I think you have to talk to this Whitehead and get him to admit

that he was lying.

I intend to.

First thing in the morning.

By forcing his racetrack on Tuscany Valley, Richard Channing not only has

valuable vineyard acreage, but is solely responsible for the increase of crime

in that once peaceful community. I could strangle that boy publisher.

Crusading citizen Richard Channing today strangled newspaper publisher Lancelot

Compton, thus making the world a better place in which to live.

I don't want Lorraine to see this.

It makes me look like some kind of monster.

He's a scoundrel. You'd expect nothing more from Angela's grandson.

Morning.

Morning. Morning.

Did you sleep well? Ah, too well. I'm already late for work.

It's a good thing I'm in tight with the boss. Don't push it.

Gotta run.

Richard,

that... paper is going to be in newspaper stands all over Northern

She's going to see it sometime.

She is not going to see it here.

Oh, no. Are you looking for a scrimmage to start the day? No.

Actually, I came down here to commend you.

This article on Richard Channing this morning is brilliant.

I think the public has a right to know the truth.

The truth about Channing is unprintable.

But I am kind of happy that he's getting a taste of the kind of journalism he

aimed at us.

Good morning.

That all depends.

Did you set up a meeting with Richard's ex -wife?

She'll be joining you here for dinner tonight.

You're right.

It is a good morning.

What is it? My name's Chase Giverty.

Oh, yeah. You're the guy that wrecked that plane.

That makes me quite a celebrity, doesn't it?

Listen, I understand your Buzz Whitehead's foreman. I need to talk to

Buzz doesn't work here anymore.

Do you know where I can get in touch with him? It's urgent.

I haven't got the slightest idea.

You know, he came around here bragging about how he'd inherited $125 ,000 from

rich aunt.

He said he was going to live abroad.

Did he happen to mention the name of the rich aunt?

Uh -uh.

He just acted real arrogant.

You know, with money, sometimes it goes right to people's heads.

He didn't even give me enough time to get him a replacement.

Well, thanks.

When I was a little girl, my father always told me I was a thoroughbred.

Looking at her, I'm embarrassed to think I believed him.

You're both thoroughbreds.

You just have different ways of showing it.

I've always wanted a horse like this. It's beautiful.

Well, she could be ours for a hundred million dollars.

I don't know that much about horse racing.

I'm a terrific teacher.

I'm sure you are.

So, do we have a deal?

What is this?

This paper's become totally irresponsible.

I'm sorry if it upset you.

It all but calls you a criminal.

Did I spell my name right?

I'm glad you care.

This is the price of being whatever it is I am.

It's a cheap way for the newspaper to draw readers.

But these are vicious lies.

And next week they'll do a piece on the UFO dieter. Does your goldfish have ESP?

I don't know.

You can't take it seriously.

Well, I do. I think you should sue.

That would just draw more attention to it.

Then I'll call Lance Compson. No. Absolutely no.

I can take care of myself.

I don't want you anywhere near him.

And that goes for the rest of the people at Falcon Crest.

You may let Lance walk all over you, but I'm not going to stand for it. I can

fight my own battles, thank you.

What do you want to do, spoil my fun?

Just do as I say.

All right?

Okay. Okay.

I must say, I can't remember ever having a hundred -year -old California wine

before.

It was bottled by my grandfather.

I save it for very special occasions.

Well, I'm flattered.

But really, why are you going to all this trouble, Mrs. Channing? We've never

even met before.

Well, you're Lorraine Prescott's mother.

That's reason enough.

Are you going to see Richard while you're here?

I'm not sure.

I haven't even seen Lorraine yet.

Divorce is so amicable these days. People get separated and they still

friends.

Well, unfortunately, that wasn't the case when Richard and I divorced.

Oh, well, I'm sorry.

Lorraine is such a sweet girl.

I just don't understand why you would permit her to live with a man like that.

Well, now, I think that's up to Lorraine, don't you?

Well, I don't think Richard deserves the charge of a child.

I mean, you know how people talk.

Mrs. Channing, what are you trying to tell me?

Nothing, really. I wouldn't even repeat it.

Well, then I'll just have to get it from somebody else.

Well, rumor has it that he's involved with organized crime.

Now, if she were my daughter, I would do everything within my power to keep him

away from her.

Who is it?

It's me, darling.

Your loving husband. Get out of here.

I'd love to, but I need some cash first. I already gave you $10 ,000. What

happened to it? I used it to pay some old debt.

Look, I came to make another withdrawal.

I'm not going to support your habit.

I paid you to get out of my life. No, Diane.

I'm here to stay.

And you're going to make sure everything's very pleasant for me. You

deserve to breathe.

I wouldn't talk like that if I were you.

Remember, one word from me and you kiss your precious inheritance goodbye.

Much of it's downstairs.

Get it.

The Roman bankers.

Have said no.

They will invest money on stores or real estate, but not vignettes.

What's afraid of that?

I know what I must do.

I will go to America.

Yes.

I will get loan from the Giubetti cousins in California.

They are bad people, Francesca. I do not want you to get hurt.

I have never understood why you are so bitter about them.

They are family.

They will not refuse to help us.

California.

It's a long way from here.

Oh, Grandmother.

Don't worry.

I will be back.

I had prayed that the day would never come.

That I would never have to open this box.

But since you are determined, this will get you the money you need.

Perhaps more.

I don't understand.

Read. Then take it to Angela Channing.

Why have you hidden this from me?

Good morning, Angela.

Sit down. We have to talk.

Problems?

It's time to deal a death blow to Chase Gioberti. I want you to file suit

against him. On what grounds?

Negligence in the death of my husband.

That's quite out of the question.

I'm not asking you. I'm telling you.

Angela, as your lawyer, you pay me to give you legal counsel.

And a suit against Chase is not only unwise, it's irresponsible, immoral, and

potentially dangerous.

And worth the risk. Not so.

He's already lost his license to fly thanks to strings that you pulled in

Washington. Any further harassment of Chase will only draw attention to a

situation that both you and I know is a farce.

The only farce is Chase Gioberti.

He's an airline pilot, not a winemaker.

I suspect that he would disagree.

Oh, he loves to go around saying that he's a co -owner.

Well, where was he when I was trying to rebuild the vineyards after Prohibition,

huh?

And where was he when I was trying to pull all of this land together?

He didn't give a damn about Falcon Crest until he found out it was an empire.

And then all of a sudden he lays claim to it. Well, I'm going to bankrupt him

and get my land back, so you file that suit.

You present quite a case, Mrs. Channing.

Have you ever considered a career in law?

Just do as I say. I don't like resistance.

Yeah. I'm beginning to find that out.

Did we ever?

Was it fun?

He looked like baby Poseidon commanding all the fishes in the sea. Where'd you

go? The merry -go -round.

We had such a wonderful day.

I'm hungry.

After all the hot dogs and sodas you had.

Mrs. Miller made lasagna.

Um, I guess I should go.

Why don't you give Mommy a kiss, huh?

Would you like to stay?

My parents went into San Francisco for the evening, and Joseph still isn't much

of a conversationalist.

I'd love to.

Don't do that.

Don't do what, sweetheart? Rub your back?

Sneak up on me.

What's wrong with you? You're a nervous wreck.

I didn't get any sleep last night.

No, it's more than last night. You've been acting strange for weeks now.

Did you come here to cross -examine me?

No.

I was starting to feel a little neglected.

Hey.

Salad is wild, please.

Lobster bisque and the house salad. Thank you. I can remember when you would

never touch seafood.

That was a long time ago.

You know I'm enjoying this.

Meeting you for lunch like a friend.

Thanks.

And since you are old enough to make adult decisions, I think you're old

to know some adult truths.

If this is about Richard, I feel that...

Whatever happened between you two has nothing to do with me. Up to a point,

that's true.

But as your mother and your friend, hear me out.

Lorraine, Richard is not what he seems.

There is nothing but seductive charm where there should be a heart.

Please, Mother.

I love that man, and he's not like that with me. He's like that with everybody.

No, I can't believe that. Listen to me, Lorraine.

You want to be treated like an adult, then you act like one. Face up to the

truth.

When I met Richard, I thought he was the most beautiful man in the world.

My father was grooming him to take over the business. He was beloved and adored

and trusted by my family.

Until one day we discovered he was an imposter, stealing trade secrets for his

adoptive father, Henri Denault. I don't want to hear this, Mother. Well, you

will.

They were planning to take over the business, a business my father wanted to

give to him one day.

The marriage was dissolved and I was devastated.

I was used.

Lorraine Richard used me like a pawn in his power game and he will use you too.

Well, Joseph's sound asleep.

Good.

I had to put an extra blanket on him.

He looks like such a little angel sleeping.

He's got your ears.

He's got your nose.

Do you think so?

Did you ever hear the saying, set something free and it returns to you if

yours?

If it doesn't, it never was.

No. I used to spend so much time wanting the three of us to be together like

this.

I finally gave up and here we are.

I'm so glad you asked me to stay.

Well, I was hoping that...

Hi. Is everything all right?

Oh, fine. We had dinner with Joseph.

Mrs. Miller's lasagna was delicious.

Uh, how was your evening out?

Very nice, thank you.

I think I should go.

Nice to see you, Melissa.

Very special for me, Carl.

Me too.

Thank you.

Bye.

Bye.

I'm going to bed.

Good night. Good night. Good night.

entirely too much of each other. That's none of our business. I know, I know.

It's just that... She's caused him so much pain.

Look, I wouldn't trust Melissa as far as I could throw her, but it's Cole's

problem. He'll have to make up his own mind about that.

He already has, and he's wrong.

Well, what are we going to say? I don't know.

Yeah? Hi.

I'm looking for Chase Giuberti.

Be honest with me. Okay, can you sign here for a special delivery letter,

please?

Okay, thank you.

Angela is suing me for negligence in the plane crash.

For $30 million?

I have a good mind to call her and ask what the hell she thinks she's doing.

No, let's not give her the satisfaction.

Is this some kind of trick?

No.

It's me, Lucas.

There was a tunnel underneath the spring house.

I knew about it before I went in there.

The fire was a perfect cover.

I mean, who's going to look for a dead woman?

So you started the fire.

No. Oh, no.

I had made peace with my mother. I thought we'd resolved everything. I was

to hand over the gun and I was going to go back to prison.

And then the deputy shot at me and it hit the kerosene lamp.

I barely made it out of there.

How did you find me?

It wasn't that difficult.

Well, after you ran out on me, things got kind of tough.

People accused me of harboring a criminal.

And it got so bad, I just left.

I'm so sorry.

I never wanted to hurt you.

I never wanted to leave you.

Really?

that you died.

I thought maybe it was the best thing for you, but that never really sat

I can't run anymore.

There's no place left for me to hide.

But I had to see you again.

Glad you came.

Maybe.

We can be together for a few days.

And then I'll turn myself in.

Here's to more adventures and bigger winners.

The Ice Queen.

Hello, Richard.

Stephanie. Please, don't get up.

Somebody might mistake you for a gentleman.

Oh, uh, I'll take the chance.

Stephanie Hoffman, Pamela Lynch.

How'd you do?

I do quite well, thank you.

Well, uh, if you'll excuse me, I feel a draft in here.

I must go and get my coat.

Have a seat.

Thanks.

My, my, she's very pretty.

You've known her long? A couple of years.

Oh, she must be made of steel.

Yes, yes, yes. I'm sure you didn't come all the way out here just to insult my

poor assistant.

No, I didn't.

I came out here to tell you not to let Lorraine get involved in any of your

schemes. Lorraine means the world to me, you know that. I only want what's best

for her.

Richard. Your good intentions are wasted on me.

I know how little they count when compared to your actions.

Look, I know she's your daughter, but I've always loved her as though she were

mine, too.

When the court denied me visitation rights, it broke my heart.

Hard as it is.

Now she's old enough to make up her own mind. She's out here where I can help

her a little, protect her. That means a great deal to me.

Good.

Because if you hurt her in any way, I will see to it... personally that it

you whatever is left of your soul.

I had lunch with Lorraine yesterday. I thought it was time she knew the truth.

Truth?

Whose? I'm sure your version was unbiased.

I told her the facts, Richard. She can draw her own conclusions.

If you're really concerned with sparing your daughter pain, why don't you keep

your bitter memories to yourself?

I did.

For many years.

But since she insists upon staying here with you, I felt she should know just

what kind of hornet's nest she's stepped into.

Say goodbye to Pamela.

We could install a string of eavesdropping devices underneath the

Conceal a parabolic microphone behind the far wall over there. Voice

of course.

That goes without saying.

What about cameras?

We've never felt the need for video equipment in an installation such as

Miss Beck, I need to remind you that I am head of this organization. My

is of paramount importance.

Your well -being is not the issue, Mr. Reibman. There is only one reason for

having surveillance equipment here.

You wish to eavesdrop on your closest associates.

all of whom are sophisticated enough to spot a concealed camera.

Think I'm being paranoid?

Just cautious.

My team could be in and out of here in a matter of hours.

How large is your team?

Myself and three others, all handpicked by your father for only the most

sensitive assignments.

Get started this afternoon.

I assume that Mr. Sphears will be here to supervise.

No.

Mr. Ferris is one of those close associates whose conversation I wish to

monitor.

Of course.

The cameras may become necessary at some point in the future. In the meantime,

we should replace the tape machine in my desk at my disposal only.

Certainly.

What are you doing here?

Ah, Mrs. Giannini, I'd like you to meet my interior decorator, Miss Bankin.

This isn't your house, Mr. DeBercy, not yet.

My scroll closes today.

We requested a particularly short one, remember?

It's mine until noon. Now get out.

I've seen more than enough anyway.

It's obvious the entire house will have to be gutted.

Decorators, they're awfully fickle, don't you agree?

I didn't mind the wallpaper in the dining room at all.

Hello, Melissa.

Hi, Cole.

Um, Cole, you know Greg Redden? Yeah, we met.

Greg and I are in business together.

We bought a racehorse.

You seem to have your finger in every pie, don't you, Melissa?

Oh, I like to think that I have a wide range of interests.

It ranges from one unattached man to the other, doesn't it?

Yeah, I think that's quite enough, Cole.

What do you think?

This is strictly a business meeting.

Have a nice day and enjoy your meal.

I hate to disturb business.

I wish I had better news for you.

Yeah. Well, it's just that you sounded so hopeful the last time we talked.

I had a good lead, unfortunately, and turned into a wild goose chase. I'm

Well, me too.

I'm confident I'll find your parents. It's just going to take time.

And patience.

Let us know as soon as you learn something.

I will.

Maggie, don't let this bring you down.

Thank you, Mike.

I really got my hopes up on that.

It seems like one big disappointment after the other.

My parents aren't my parents anymore. I can't even find my real parents.

My adoptive father just seems to be drifting away.

It's all going to work out.

Oh, honey.

Don't. I'm sorry. I just want to have a good cry, okay?

Ah!

Hachidetti! What confusion at the airport.

I couldn't find your car. I had to take a taxi.

Bring my luggage, please.

Madam, you must have the wrong address.

This is Falcon Crest.

No.

Please, madam, you must wait outside.

Mrs. Channing is not to be disturbed.

Not to be disturbed? She's expecting me.

I have to come to America to find so many foreigners.

No, no, no, no, no.

What is this, the U .N.? Almost.

Why am I not welcome in this house? I cable ahead.

Tell Angela Channing I'm here, please.

Well, I'm Angela Channing, and I didn't receive a cable.

Oh, Angela.

Sorella mia.

Oh, I'm so happy to see you.

You recognize me?

Should I?

I am Francesca.

Francesca Giuberti.

Oh, Angela.
