If DeBercy did murder Sam, what's to prevent him from doing the same thing to

any one of us?

I made my decision. Cole and I are getting married.

Yeah, but you're not married yet.

I'm not going to give up until you are.

I don't like you, DeBercy. And I don't want to see you around here anymore.

Now, hold on, brother. Keep your hands off of me. And don't ever call me

again. Stop it, now, both of you. You understand?

Right on time. Goodness.

Good morning.

I appreciate your promptness.

I want to welcome you all to the special meeting of the Falcon Crest Board of

Directors. Do you mean to tell me I was summonsed all the way out here so that I

could be put on display?

We all have been, Angela. Didn't you read Richard's press release?

He's transporting his... bulk wine to some warehouse for aging and bottling?

Sounds exciting.

It is to me.

Tell me something. What's the aging period on this swill of yours? A week?

days?

If you think you can offend me, Chase, you're wrong.

You should be grateful to me. All of you should be. Here I thought I was going

to have to build a brand new winery.

Now I'm in business with rented and leased equipment.

Which means a very small cash outlay for the Falcon Crest Partners.

I will not be grateful as long as Falcon Crest is involved in a rent -a -winery.

Would you stop that?

Now let's get on with it.

Let the ceremony begin.

Yes, Mrs. Winston, we'll talk it over, and thank you for calling.

Really?

Okay. Bye.

Something wrong at the nursery?

Mrs. Winston and some of the teachers are worried about Joseph.

Why?

Some of the kids have been teasing him because we're not married.

Does he know what they're talking about?

Not yet.

I don't want him hurt.

We should set a date.

I want to believe me.

But I want to get married by the church.

I think it would be important for your family and for Joseph.

I... I was hoping for a small wedding.

Well, Lord, you're small.

I still have to... to get my marriage to Lance and not by the church.

How difficult will that be?

I don't know about the church, but anything that involves Lance can be

difficult, especially if Angela gets into it.

Make it go, Daddy.

Okay, come here.

Okay, come on. Okay, come on.

Okay. All right, there should be a button here. Right there.

Why don't you just leave the writing to the professionals?

What are you doing here? I don't give interviews.

I, um...

I was wondering if your job offer might still be open.

It's a little late.

I've replaced you, you know.

No, I know. I met the, um... Barracuda. Barracuda at the courthouse, and then I

heard her on the radio.

What do you think?

You need me.

You still determined to clear Lance?

Richard, I want the truth.

If you could listen to this without a prejudiced point of view, he deserves an

even break. That's all.

In that case, he'll hang himself.

Well, then, fine. Let him hang himself, as long as it doesn't happen because the

news is slanted against him.

Chase sent you over here to spy on me?

He thinks I poisoned his champagne. He's pretty hot about it. I bet he did.

Look, it would take a pretty sick mind to think of putting poison in a bottle

champagne. And, I mean, I know you're capable of a lot of terrible things, but

not that. Thank you.

I think.

However... If I do find out you had anything to do with that little venture,

would have the sheriff over here so fast you wouldn't know what hit you. I'm

sure you would.

Yes, the invitation still stands.

Welcome back.

Good. Thank you.

So do I still have the same office, or is the... Barracuda.

Barracuda in there.

I fired her yesterday.

You fired... Oh, you dinker.

If you weren't holding my hand, I'd give you the old one, too. I guess I better

hold the other one, too.

Richard, the police just called. Your wine shipment has been hijacked.

Well, the driver didn't really see their face with.

They had guns, but it didn't really hurt him.

Well, a very gentlemanly job.

Did Chase say he was coming?

Yes, and Angela, too.

Mind you, they didn't seem very enthusiastic when I called them.

This whole thing seems like the work of an amateur.

Unless, of course, that's the way it's supposed to seem.

Were you suggesting that the cartel did it?

Who else?

What are you going to tell them?

Why not? He lost a million dollars' worth of champagne.

Sheriff hasn't come up with any other suspects.

Besides, Chase and Cole accused me of planting that poison.

Oh, so now you're going to return the favor.

Just watch this little performance.

I want to thank you for rushing right over here. I knew you both would enjoy

this. Little disaster.

Well, that's a strange place to park a truck. Or is that the way you age your

wine? Did somebody really drain the tanks?

Good act, Chase.

You sound like you really don't know. I don't.

But I do know how it feels to have a lot of work and a great deal of wine go

down the drain.

Not meaning to make a joke, of course. Well, don't worry. It isn't.

Maybe you've got more guts than I thought.

I appreciate the compliment, but I didn't have anything to do with dumping

wine. What about Cole?

What about him?

He was just as mad as you were the other day in a winery, right, Angela?

Yes, he was pretty upset.

Now, wait a minute. Just keep Cole out of this. Oh, now, the champagne was his

pet project, and he's a pretty hot -tempered young man. As I recall now, he

once a suspect in a murder case.

Richard, you are out of your mind.

That's a cheap shot, even for you.

Now, hold on, brother.

We're going to talk this thing through. Wait a minute.

Talk or not, keep your hands off of me, and don't ever call me brother again.

Stop it, now, both of you. You understand?

Lord, I've done it now.

Oh.

And I'll get blamed for ducking.

You could sue, of course, Angela. It's clearly a case of aggravated assault.

Richard even admits hitting you.

It was Chase who ducked.

What did I tell you?

Oh, then we can sue them both.

Oh, Greg.

All right.

I think you ought to see a doctor.

Yes. You may feel all right, but you never can tell about this kind of a

I grew up with a brother, remember?

Jason knocked me out once.

But I got him twice.

So you're going to ignore this?

For now.

There are more important things.

Now, did it ever occur to you that somebody might be wanting to run us out

business? Why?

Perhaps it's time for the three of you to work together for once.

Richard, what about the cartel and this Riedman character?

Who is Riedman?

He was associated with our mother.

They organized an international cartel after the Second World War.

Dear Jacqueline.

She never wasted an ounce of her talents, did she?

I understand that Johan Riedman runs the cartel from South America. Argentina, I

think. A little update on that.

Johan Riedman is dead.

His son Gustav is now running the cartel.

So we're looking for a much younger man than Johan.

How do you know all that, Chase?

You working for the government?

I'm not working against it.

Well, if the cartel is in the valley...

Why are they after Falcon Crest?

Power, wealth, legitimacy, all those.

You know, the only person who's been trying to buy you out is de Bercy.

Well, I told you to check on his background, and you said it was

Yeah, perhaps too spotless.

A man with that wealth must have got some ghosts in his past.

I'll set up a surveillance on de Bercy's place. That might tell us something.

Maybe we can get the sheriff to reopen the investigation into the Giannini

murder. I don't think we should get anyone else involved, Chase.

If we are dealing with the cartel, I can't emphasize enough how careful we've

got to be.

Not just for our sakes, but our loved ones as well.

I don't want any of us to forget that.

Hello?

Channing residence.

I was hoping it would be you, Emma.

This is Jean -Louis.

Oh, hi.

And how are things at Falcon Crest today?

Well, did you hear that Richard's wine truck has been hijacked?

No. He thinks that either Mother or Chase did it. They are really going at

the living room.

I would hate to have partners who don't trust me.

Mother doesn't trust anyone.

She doesn't have that reputation.

I was calling to see if I could see you tomorrow.

Oh. Well, I did have a long luncheon planned with Robert Redford, but I could

cancel.

Do that.

We'll have lunch at my yacht.

Say two o 'clock?

Aye, aye, Captain.

Our men did well with the truck?

Excellently. The three partners are now at each other's throats.

I just wish they'd argue in Angela's study, closer to my listening devices.

Taking over Falcon Crest should be quite simple from now on.

And the treasure?

Mine.

And speaking of my treasures...

Well, thanks for coming by, Gil.

I thought she was all right, but I just wanted to be sure.

Do it, Greg.

She's a great little whore. Thanks. See you later. Ciao. Oh, Greg, is she all

right? I was so upset when I heard the vet was here.

Well, there's nothing to worry about. She's fine.

Just a little lady who upsets easily.

Oh, poor baby.

Is there anything I can do?

Yeah, well, we were just thinking of changing her stall.

Yeah, I think this one will do fine. Why don't you take this?

Break out the old stuff and start spreading some new.

Oh.

Of course, if you'd rather not.

Oh, no, I want to help out with small virtue as much as I can.

This is one lady who doesn't upset easily.

Good. I think I'll bear that in mind.

Hi. And how is small virtue?

Well, the vet checked her out A -OK.

Oh, good.

My, what's that? A turkey in the straw?

Oh, my goodness me, it's only Terry.

Yes, she's helping us muck out now that she's a full partner.

Well, how sweet of her.

Well, you ready to go?

I think I ought to change, Bert.

I think a shower's in order as well, maybe. Oh, George.

Terry, George here will help put small Bertie to bed when you're finished.

You're doing terrific.

Thanks very much.

Goodbye. Oh, come on, Jay. The charming Jean -Louis de Belty?

Working for the cartel? I said we don't know for sure.

He's been trying to buy into Falcon Crest.

Sam Giannini was murdered.

Suddenly and inexplicably, his widow...

Sells out to Debussy.

And somebody from the outside is trying to stir up more trouble between Angela

and Richard and myself.

I just find it so hard to believe.

I'm going to go something straight.

You ducked and Richard flattened Angela?

Damn, I wish I'd been there.

Who is it? Me, Emma.

Come in.

Terrific. Come on in. Thank you.

Oh, what a nice surprise.

Hi.

Something the matter?

Yes, it's Mother.

She's forbidden me to go out with Jean -Louis.

He's wild about me, you know.

I'm sure she's just concerned for your welfare.

Yeah, she probably has a very good reason. Yes, her own reason, her own

interest. You know, I...

I came here because I thought you two would be sympathetic. Doesn't anybody

that I have finally found somebody that I can love?

Well, you know we care. You know, I just can't take my mother's bullying

anymore. I am going to stand up to her once and for all, and I'm going to do

what I please.

All right, Emma, come on. Honey, sit down. No, no, no, no, no, no.

I am going to spend the day tomorrow on Jean -Louis' yacht.

We don't know enough to tell her what we really think.

Please.

It wouldn't make any difference anyway.

Where

have

you been?

What?

Very funny.

Hey!

Come back later.

You're in a good mood this morning. Where were you last night and this

With Greg Reardon.

A night of relentless pleasure unburdened by romantic love.

You should try it sometime.

No, thank you.

That disgusts me.

I know it does, as far as with Greg.

You know, it's a shame you no longer trust me to spy on Reardon and Angela.

I hear that's what Terry's trying to do.

You should, uh... You'd never send a girl to do a woman's job.

Here. Hold still, will you? Here.

I've got an assignment for you. Oh, yes?

I want you to watch over the DeBercy estate.

Check on everyone who comes and goes and try to be discreet.

What am I looking for? I don't know.

I've been told that Johan Riedman is dead and his son is supposed to be

the operation.

It's just possible that DeBercy is running the operation from here.

What, that oily little Frenchman? What do you think about that?

Quite frankly, it scares the hell out of me.

Despite all that charm.

Have you seen his eyes?

As cold as death.

Someday soon, I'll sail out of this harbor and visit the most romantic ports

the world.

Acapulco, Rio, just the two of us.

Yes, let's do it soon.

I'm so happy.

I'm close to someone.

Someone who can share all my happy times, sad times, and all my secrets.

I can't believe that you have secrets.

You're so delightfully open and frank with everyone.

But I do have secrets.

Especially one that no one will believe.

Try me.

I saw my sister Julia not long ago.

She's alive.

She didn't die in the Spring House fire, but Mother and Lance won't believe me.

If you saw her, she is alive.

But surviving the fire is a true miracle.

Not if you know about the tunnels.

Tunnels? And what are they, pray tell?

In the old days, all wineries had storage rooms dug deep into the hills.

Some still use them. They had hired Chinese labor gangs to do the digging.

Someone told me that they paid them 25 cents a week.

How interesting.

And then during the prohibition, they used them to run illegal wine and

Falcon Crest is honeycombed with all these tunnels.

I don't remember much about them, but I do remember that there's an old gold

mine somewhere.

Don't you believe me about Julia?

Of course I believe you.

About Julia and the tunnels.

Let's talk about all that later.

So, as you can see, I've covered all the possible contingencies for Lance's

trial. I even think that a change of venue might be highly desirable.

Well, go ahead and arrange it.

Now, what about de Berthe?

Nothing new so far.

You know, it seems strange working with Chase and Richard on this.

But it makes sense that someone on the outside of Falcon Crest is trying to

break us apart.

Well, considering the personality's concern, I don't think that's exactly

to be a difficult task.

Well, Emma, did you have a nice day in the city?

Mother, I didn't go shopping.

I spent the day aboard Jean -Louis' yacht. I had a wonderful time.

Emma, I forbid you to see that man again.

Oh, why?

Not our kind of people?

He's dangerous.

He is a little scary, but he's wonderful and charming.

And I plan to see him whenever I like.

in the attic.

I heard that.

I think for her own safety, that wouldn't be a bad idea.

I want you and your staff to check the Hall of Records, the historical

authorities, universities, museums, libraries, anywhere where there might be

reports or plans or maps of the tunnels and mines dug in this valley over a

century ago.

They will be our roadmap to the treasure, I'm sure of it.

Perhaps someone at Falconcrest could lead you to them.

I've already considered that. I shall call Emma again tomorrow.

And Julia?

Emma, Julia, either one of them will be our shortcut to the treasure.

And neither of them know that that secret is worth millions and millions

millions. Oh, darling.

Charlie, what have you got there?

Lance and Emma requested breakfast in their rooms.

Put that right down.

Tell Lance and Emma if they want to eat, they can come down here and join me.

Yes, Miss Channing.

Ah, Miss Channing.

What are you doing here?

I was hoping to have a word with Emma.

Well, you may not.

I don't like you, de Bercy, and I don't want to see you around here anymore.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

Won't you see she gets these, please?

Did I hear someone at the door? No.

How you feeling?

Hi there, Melissa.

What are you doing here?

These are for Terry.

The ownership papers.

The horse is officially hers now.

I would have had them delivered to her house, but I wanted to stop by and see

Small Virtue.

Well, I'll see that she gets them.

Are you sorry you sold your interest in the horse?

I made the right decision.

For Cole, perhaps.

I'm going to miss her.

I'm going to miss you.

I made my decision. Cole and I are getting married.

Yeah, but you're not married yet.

And I'm not going to give up until you are.

Am I supposed to be flattered?

No, forewarned.

I'm in love with you, Melissa.

Well, that's too bad.

Melissa, if you're so determined to marry Cole, why haven't we heard about a

wedding date?

You will.

Just as soon as my marriage to Lance is annulled by the church.

Well, I sure hope you plan on inviting me. I love a good annulment.

We'll even try to sneak you into the wedding.

Maybe Cole will let you usher.

Goodbye, Greg.

See you, Melissa.

Hey, what do you make of all that, huh?

Come in.

Sit down.

Your friend here wasn't kidding when he said he was going to let his editorial

staff loose.

Because he's not afraid of the truth.

No, that's because he's afraid of his grandmother. If he didn't do something

drastic to boost the circulation, she would have taken the paper away from

Sweet roll?

No, thank you. Oh, come on. No, thank you.

Here's the proof you wanted me to copy.

Ah.

Don't know what you're missing.

Mmm.

Delicious.

Blueberries. Glazed sugar.

No, thanks. I won't be coming until about noon tomorrow.

I have some errands to run. I hope that's okay.

Fine.

I think somebody who can't eat a sweet roll is not feeling well, though.

I'm fine.

You don't look fine.

I think you should see a doctor.

No, you worry too much.

So do I about Lance.

That's why...

I wish you wouldn't broadcast that story.

It makes him look like a mass murderer.

It makes him look like what he is, an opportunist.

Somebody who's willing to do anything to ensure his place in Angela's little

kingdom.

Now, this is a responsible news organization, young lady, and I'm not

hide the truth.

But you're not above twisting it, are you?

Come in.

Oh.

Oh, I'm so glad to see you.

I am bored out of my mind, and I was beginning to think that you had

about me completely.

Why didn't you tell me the truth about your escape from the spring house?

I did. I told you everything.

You didn't mention anything about the tunnel.

Well, I... I guess I didn't...

Think it was important.

I mean, I'm here. I'm alive.

Tell me about the tunnel, Julia.

How did you find out about that? I shall ask the questions.

How many other tunnels are there?

I don't know.

There are dozens.

But that one was secret.

My Uncle Jason showed that to me and my sister when we were little.

And he made us promise never to tell anyone.

Including your psychiatrist, I suppose?

Are there any other tunnels that no one else knows about?

I don't know.

What are you asking me these things for?

Think back to your childhood, Julia.

Was there any place you couldn't get into?

An entrance that was barred by a locked door?

Passageway too steep to climb?

Anything like that at all?

I don't remember. Did you see any boxes or crates anywhere? Anything unusual?

I don't know.

asking me these things for? What do you want from me?

You could help us both by answering my questions.

I shall leave you for now.

Hey, you, wait a minute.

You told me that I could leave here any time I wanted, and I think the time is

now.

I'm sorry, Julia.

You're not yet well enough to go anywhere.

Right. Well, our surveillance people haven't noticed any unusual activity at

DeBercy house.

Maybe he is who he says he is. Yes, and he may not be.

Too many coincidences.

If DeBercy's associated with a cartel, I've got to know about it. If he's not,

just don't want there to be any doubt.

Well, we'll watch him for as long as you want us to. I'll be at the track all

afternoon.

Oh, uh...

Listen, call Judge Holder and tell him I can't make lunch.

Oh, you two are getting awfully close these days.

We have some similar views.

Yeah? The fact that you offered to help him become State Supreme Court Justice

has nothing to do with his hardline approach to Lance's case, does it? I

you've forgotten who signed your paycheck, Miss Finch. You wouldn't fire

I'm too good at what I do.

On the rare occasion when you do it, without question.

Lance has a lot to answer for, starting with Lorraine.

And he's going to pay the price.

Oh, you'll destroy Lance, all right.

You've real knack for it, a God -given talent.

Your mother will be proud of you.

You'll destroy Lorraine as well.

You know, sometimes I wonder if you have any real feeling for her at all.

Charlie said you wanted to see me.

Yes, I do. Come on in.

You're sure keeping him busy, running up and down the stairs at all hours of the

day and night, summoning family members to your office.

You're gonna give the poor man a coronary.

He needs the exercise.

What is it this time, Grandmother?

Am I playing the stereo too loud?

Watching too much TV?

Sleeping around?

Will you sit down?

Melissa and Cole want very much to get married. Common knowledge, Grandmother.

Although I haven't the faintest idea what they see in each other.

Well, I see what I see in Melissa.

Dear Gretty Harvest.

I don't want Chase controlling them forever.

Which is what would happen if they went through with this.

Our young friends seem to be set on a church wedding.

Now, Greg tells me that Melissa wants to have your marriage annulled.

Mm -hmm. It shouldn't be a problem.

My marriage to Melissa was a sham from the start.

Well, I want you to fight her on this, because if she doesn't get the

then she and Cole won't stay together.

You read like an open book, Grandmother.

You just want to give Greg Reardon more of a chance to weasel his way into

Melissa's bed, don't you?

Will you do as I say and remember how dependent you are upon me at the trial?

You know, sometimes I think I'd be better off taking my own chances in

When will she be back?

Quando ritornerà?

I see.

Mi chiamo Cestio Berti. Sì.

Le dica che ho telefonato.

Sì?

Sì, grazie.

Hey.

Hey. What was that all about?

I'm trying to reach Mary Giannini.

I want to get her.

to help fill out the Debussy story.

Where is she, New York?

Yeah, living with a cousin from Italy.

She told me she'd have her call back.

I think that's what she said. You know my Italian.

Ah, poor Mary.

She must hate New York. I mean, you know, she really belonged in the valley.

I miss them.

Yeah, me too.

Sam, if I find out that Debussy had anything to do with his murder...

I won't rest till I see him rotting in prison, I tell you.

If de Berthier did murder Sam and he has any inkling that we are on to

him, what's to prevent him from doing the same thing to any one of us?

Absolutely nothing.

Well, did you find out what's wrong with me?

You're in perfect physical condition, but I'm afraid you're due for a lot more

emotional stress.

I knew it.

Pregnant.

Hey. I was just thinking about you.

You were?

What were you thinking?

Wouldn't you like to know? Yes, I would.

As much as I'd like it to be, this is not a social call.

Okay, what's up?

I've been out in the fields all morning with my vineyard manager.

We start our harvest tomorrow.

You can expect the first delivery tomorrow afternoon.

Looks like our presses are going to be busy. We start harvesting on Saturday.

Really? Yeah, now that business is done.

If it isn't the happy couple. Look at them.

Hello, Matt.

Been to a good trial lately.

Is there something we can do for you?

No. As a matter of fact, I was about to do the both of you a great big favor.

I can't wait to hear it. I understand that you're trying to get our marriage

annulled to the church.

We were planning on talking to you about it.

Here's a questionnaire.

I've already applied for the annulment.

What?

Why are you doing this?

Believe me, Cole, it's not because of any great love for you.

Are you going to do it, or do I have to forge your answers?

I'll take it to the priest myself.

Okay, now he's going to want to meet with both of us.

Just let me know when, and I'll be there with bells on.

Well, aren't you even going to say thank you?

Of course I will, Lance.

After the annulment is final.

Oh, my... Jeez, don't... You scare the daylights out of me. Well, you're pretty

scary, and Debussy and all that stuff going on, and you're creeping around.

Give a girl some warning.

I'll give you some warning.

I'm all alone in a big house with a beautiful woman. No maid, no kids. I

be held responsible for my actions.

I'm not going to get that. Let it ring.

What are you doing for the rest of the afternoon?

I was thinking maybe, how about a hot bath, a

nap, a little champagne on the veranda maybe?

Or would you rather go bowling?

Bowling sounds good.

to whoever it is.

Hello.

Mary. How are you?

Sorry to hear that.

Listen, I need to ask you a few questions about Jean -Louis de Bercy.

Okay?

Whoever invented the necktie should have been hung by one.

I just got a call from Chase.

He may have found something.

I'm going to meet him at Falcon Crest.

Oh, he can take me as long with you.

Now, you may recognize these two gentlemen. They were photographed early

morning outside de Bertha's house.

It's Baker and Hanson.

Mr. DeBercy keeps good company, doesn't he?

Pretty much ties him in with Reidman, doesn't he?

Is the car ready?

Yes, it's outside.

Can I help you with that? No.

Funny man.

You go ahead.

Come on.

Sorry I'm late. I had a little trouble.

Any chance of surveillance devices in here? There's always a chance, but the

room was electronically swept a few weeks ago. It was clean then. So that's

you and that so -called detective were doing in here.

Anyway, it looks like DeBercy's our man.

These photographs were taken outside his place.

I knew those gentlemen.

Several years ago, they're two of the cartel's most vicious operatives.

Well, they certainly looked the part.

It appears that de Bercy's working for Gustav Friedman. I think de Bercy is

Gustav Friedman. He had Sam Giannini murdered so he could take over his

vineyard. I talked to Mary about an hour ago.

It took a lot of coaxing to get her to even deal with the subject.

She is absolutely terrified of the man.

She confirmed something I suspected.

He forced her to sell the property after Sam's death.

That doesn't surprise me, but that doesn't mean that Gustav and de Bercy

and the same.

Greg, tell Richard what you just told us.

De Bercy has a residence in the Loire Valley in France.

He's been successfully hiding behind that identity for many years, and as you

know, he even fooled me the first time I checked into his background.

But according to the State Department, he has dual citizenship, France and

Argentina.

Reidman's home base?

Yeah. Well, it isn't conclusive yet, but I think the government should be in on

this. The phone call's not going to convince anybody, no matter what our

credentials may be.

I think this information is so important that we've got to deliver it

personally.

Then let's do it. My car is outside. We can take it.

You go with him, Greg.

The Harvardson is upon us, and they're going to need me here, and I want

everything to look absolutely normal.

Stay by the phone. We'll call you as soon as we can.

I think we've all heard enough.

I didn't know they conducted a sweep.

Fortunately, we managed to jam it.

Well, we knew it was bound to happen sooner or later.

In a way, I suppose I'm quite relieved my charade is over.

And I'll have to move quickly.

I'll have to walk away from here without my treasure.

Then you have a contingency plan. Indeed I do, my dear. One in which you play an

integral part.

Worried, Richard?

No.

Why should I be? We're on our way to victory, aren't we?

How deep is your connection with the cartel, anyway?

I severed my ties with them years ago, Chase.

You knew they must have been behind the airplane crash, but you didn't say a

word. Why?

Couldn't be that you were afraid of repercussions, could it?

Your own connection with them exposed.

A jail term at stake.

Speaking of jail terms, Counselor, as I recall, it was you and Angela who

conspired to frame Chase for that plane crash.

Well, well, well.

It all comes out now, huh?

May I help you?

I need to speak to Mr. Reardon.

I'm afraid he's not here right now.

What about Mrs. Channing?

What is it, Charlie?

I'm Cheryl Russell. I'm an investigator.

I've been working on the diversity case for Mr. Reardon.

Oh, well, I can handle this. Thank you, Charlie.

Well, I'm afraid Mr. Reardon is on his way to San Francisco.

But if you have any news, I'd like for you to give it to me.

As a matter of fact, I do have something right here.

An invitation.

To spend the evening with Gustav Riebman.

Over my dead body.

I don't think so, Mrs. Channing.

You see, Mr. Riebman has a house guest I'm sure you're going to want to see

again.

Your daughter, Julia.
