Honey, where did you get that car?

Glenn!

Grandmother, this is Apollonia. It's a pleasure.

Glenn?

Where is she? Who?

Connie, damn it!

She's not having an affair with my husband right under my nose. Now, where

she? We had an understanding.

I'd rather you accept Falcon Crest as my gift.

My wedding gift.

Why didn't you tell me about Connie Giannini? There was nothing to tell. Not

according to Angela Channing. Angela Channing is a mean woman. You're just

aware of it. I'm aware of that. I never said the woman was a saint.

But you still believe her. At this point, yes, I do, because I have seen

Connie looks at you. I lost my memory, Chase, not my senses. My conscience is

clear. That's an explanation?

Connie may have had some feelings for me that weren't exactly platonic, but...

Oh, I get it.

That's why she was so generous with you, so anxious to share her precious

winery, because she had all of these... Non -platonic feelings.

You're blowing everything out of proportion. Nothing happened. I wish I

believe that.

I think I finally figured out what I was doing at Richard's the night of the

explosion. Are you willing to share this sudden revelation?

I should think it would be obvious. I was planning on sharing some non

feelings of my own. Oh, Maggie, don't. I don't see why you should be so upset,

Chase. It seems to me that extramarital affairs are a pattern in this family.

to look ravishing.

Oh, Peter, stop.

Never. When I see something I appreciate, I tell the world.

We certainly want to thank you for what you've done, manipulating Cassandra as

effectively as you did. Why not? We've been friends for many years.

More than friends, wouldn't you say?

But of course.

Mr. Tavris, I've taken the liberty of drawing up the papers to transfer back

Angela the two -thirds of Falcon Crest, which you purchased from Cassandra

Wilder. I'm sure your attorneys will find everything in good order.

Never use attorneys. I speak five languages and read 11.

If something is too complicated for me to figure out myself, I tear it up and

start over again.

Is something not your liking, sir? The calamari. Too much lemon.

Oh? Now, years ago, I was fishing off of Crete when a storm hit. We took shelter

on an island so small it wasn't even on our chart.

Oh, what a feat. The island is prepared calamari like you've never tasted. I

bought the island.

Really?

Peter, you know, Falcon Crest is going to have a storm of its own if we don't

complete our business pretty soon.

We've got harvesting and bottling and a million other things to do. Yes, the

wine business is very complicated.

Why don't you just tell me how much you paid, Cassandra, and I'll draw a check

and the whole affair will be over.

But Falcon Crest is not for sale.

We had an understanding.

I find the idea of selling Falcon Crest most unattractive.

I'd rather you accept Falcon Crest as my gift.

My wedding gift.

You weren't kidding. We really are in business together.

That's what this paper says.

$10 ,000.

I promise you, you won't regret this, Lance.

I try not to regret anything I do.

This check is going to finance a demo that is going to make you rich.

Make no sense.

I'm already rich.

I don't mean it, Lance. I mean, this cell may be a lord for you, but it's my

life.

I have sacrificed everything I've ever had for this.

I'm going to make it.

That's what a new manager likes to hear in his talent.

Dedication.

All joking aside, you are going to make it. I'm taking you all the way to the

top. Total commitment.

Scouts on it.

You were never a scout, Lance.

This is true.

Oh, thanks.

You disappear without a word to anyone, and three months later, you reappear in

the company of the greatest champagne maker in the world. I'll tell you, if

you're trying to create a mystery, you have certainly succeeded.

Antoine du Maurier can do something positive for all of us.

That's all I can say now until we... Well, until he's had a first -hand look

the Giannini facilities.

You are sounding more and more mysterious.

The Count must think a great deal of you to be dragged halfway around the world.

Well, he was upset when I didn't return to France immediately after my mother's

funeral.

Sounds to me like the Count has a lot more on his mind than business.

I was Antoine's head winemaker for five years.

His mistress for three.

I see.

And now?

And now I think it's time to take a look at the books.

See what we can do to put the Giannini -Gioberti wines on the map.

Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you.

Your office won't put through my calls.

Why don't you take the hint and stay away?

You want me to call the police?

Only if it feels necessary.

And while we're waiting, you can listen to what I have to say.

The day we spoke outside the courthouse, I think I came off... I think I came

off sounding like an apprentice Sunday school teacher.

But what I felt in my heart was real.

I do know the anguish you're going through.

You haven't a clue.

Hey, don't we share a father, a heritage?

Weren't we both nurtured on a diet of half -truths and outright lies?

Just remember, when things get really rough, you're not alone.

You have somebody you can go to for help.

Listen, I have to go. You think maybe you could have me arrested some other

time?

I'll think about what you said.

I'm sitting right across the bridge, my old man.

Well, shouldn't we say hello?

No. Why spoil it for a perfect afternoon?

Bartender?

Uh, champagne.

Two glasses.

Some of our vendors are giving me a rough time, Mr. Channing.

They're threatening to cut off our supplies if we don't start paying some

bills. Oh, they got their nerve.

Hold on.

How much is left of the money we've got from Pamela?

Less delinquent property taxes, two short -term loans, and late payment

penalties, I'd say.

Enough for lunch and a bottle of wine, if you make it a cheap bottle of wine.

Oh, the joys of affluence. Tell him something.

Promise the vendors a letter of credit backed by KRDC by the end of business

hours today.

Now, that's just great.

Now, how am I supposed to pay for the repairs to the radio station's

transmitter? Answer me that. With a letter of credit backed by Tuscany

course.

I always liked merry -go -rounds, and I like the way you operate, Counselor.

Thanks. Get me some cash soon, or I'm going to run out of tricks.

Why, hello there.

Oh, why, hello there yourself.

I'd loan you some money, Richard, but I left my change in my house first.

I'm sorry, this conversation is private.

I can tell.

Oh, with friends like that, you don't need assassins.

Oh, she's... She's been useful in the past, and who knows?

She may be again.

Attention, everyone.

There's no better place.

Attention, everyone, please.

Today, of course, we're gathered here in honor of a most wonderful woman, Angela

Channing.

And I cannot think of a better way to share with all of you, her dearest

friends, that I have asked Angela to marry me.

Angela has very graciously accepted my proposal.

a bottle of our best champagne, please. Yes, right away.

Oh, Mother, if it can't be me getting married, I am so happy that it's you.

Thank you. Now, I insist on taking care of all the details. Now, let's see.

We'll do it at New Year's Eve and the stroke of midnight.

No, no, no, even better.

We'll do it on St.

Valentine's Day in pink.

Hot pink.

I know how important ceremonies are to a woman, but I had hoped we could marry

immediately.

Well, I was hoping that we might find out if we were compatible with each

Well, we're both stubborn, aren't we? Isn't that being compatible?

I'm serious, Peter.

I don't know.

All right, then. How may we best test our compatibility?

Well, I was thinking that perhaps for a brief period of time, we might live

together.

You were?

You never cease to amaze me, Angela, my dear.

Well, if this idea makes you happy, I am happy. You see?

Already we agree.

Thank you, Peter.

The status of Falcon Crest, however, will remain unchanged until after the

wedding.

Oh.

Well, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Now, as much as I hate to, I must go.

Living together, that is the most romantic thing of all.

Oh, now I hate pomp and circumstance.

When Peter moves in, you'll have to get used to it. We'll see who's going to get

used to what around here.

Charlie, take that away.

They can't take what I don't have.

That certainly won't stop them from trying.

Maybe I'll file bankruptcy.

That still won't help you dodge your tax liabilities.

Well, there's always suicide.

Very tacky.

And besides, in your current financial state, you can't even afford a good

funeral.

Sandra Wilder's at the door.

I don't believe it. Well, show her in, Alan.

If that woman lacks in scruples, she more than makes a foreign sheer nerve.

Maybe that's why I like her.

Hello, Kat.

Well, it's an unexpected pleasure.

At least it's unexpected.

Yes, I have something for you.

It's what I figured is your share of the profits I made from selling my infant

in Falcon Crest.

We can eat this week.

Call it guilt money.

I've come to the realization I don't want to profit from your misfortune.

It was done to me.

And I can't do it to you.

Would you both excuse us?

I only regret that you didn't include me in your plans to destroy Angela. I

would have been a terrific asset, you know.

I wanted to.

Especially after we had grown so close.

You would have to know my mother to know why I couldn't.

We were close.

Weren't we, Cass?

I have to go.

Okay, gang, let's try one on tape to see if all the toys are working.

Four, three, two, and.

Honey, where did you get that car?

you can follow me

ask what's going on around here.

Let's invite a few of my friends over to use the pool.

Len!

Do I know you?

No, not really. But I did see you at the Tuscany Down.

Uh, Grandmother, this is Apollonia.

It's a pleasure.

Len, test me a towel, please.

Sure.

Oh, and by the way, congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

Lance.

Come here.

Yes, Grandmother?

I want these aliens out of here immediately. These aliens are my

it's my house. I live here, too. With my permission.

And another thing, I want you to stay away from that Babylonian character.

Her name is Apollonia. She's a dear friend of mine and a business partner.

Monkey business, if I know you.

Well, you don't know me.

And you don't know these people. They're talented and very successful.

Well, they're layabouts, and I want them out of here.

Now, you've been brought up to be better than that.

Really?

Someday I hope to be as good.

Excuse me.

Maybe we should leave.

No, this is my house. I've done all the adjustment up to this point. Now it's

her turn to do some adjustment.

That must be fighting words.

Well?

Promising.

Oh, well, we think so, too.

Connie's done a great job for us.

Yes, I know.

She's done it for me, too.

Antoine, please.

Chase has been more than patient. Tell him your idea.

Yes.

For many years, I've envisioned a greater marketplace for my wines without

sacrificing quality.

And Connie has presented me with a method for possibly realizing this

I would like to suggest a cooperative deal between you and me to produce a

California sparkling wine.

Second to none in quality.

Except my own, of course.

Any association with the Dermiac label is a guarantee for success.

Thank you.

If, in the natural order of things, your sparkling wine lives up to its promise,

I will distribute it worldwide.

Well, I'm flattered, but I don't see how I could become involved in any

arrangement on such a grand scale.

I'm sure Connie has told you about my financial situation.

No, no, no, no, mon vieux.

Money should never prevent a good idea from becoming a reality.

It shouldn't, but it does.

No.

Not if I advance the capital necessary to begin the operation.

And the risk?

Minimum.

I am comforted by the knowledge that Connie would be continually a quality

control.

From my vineyards in France, of course.

So... Ça va?

Ça va.

Oui.

Maggie?

I attracted you.

What is it?

Who?

Connie, damn it! Connie!

She's not having an affair with my husband right under my nose. Now, where

she? She was here a second ago. What?

Now, listen.

Connie said her house would come to Muriak. We had dinner with them this

evening. What are you talking about? I saw you with her. You were kissing her.

She had on a yellow dress. Don't try to... That was an explosion. Do you

remember? No, I don't remember. I remember... Listen, listen to me.

Having you and Connie at the same dinner table was just the shock you needed.

You have had amnesia.

It's been months since you found me with Connie, not a minute.

I don't understand.

Take all the time you need to explain it.

Tell me.

Do you love me?

Why do you think I came back?

I am not walking away from this marriage, not without one hell of a

I love you.

I don't understand.

It's just how I could have had amnesia about everything that happened before

explosion and now, now have amnesia about everything that's happened since

explosion.

In my office, I've got about 50 pounds of books on the subject, all of which

I've read.

I still don't really understand it completely.

It's true what you said.

you went to Richard's the night of the explosion.

Were you having an affair?

I said that?

Why didn't you make up something like that?

I suppose I should leave well enough alone, but I... An affair with Richard?

No.

Well, I don't, I don't, I don't think so. I mean, maybe it's something that I

don't remember.

I could ask him, I suppose.

Forget it, okay?

Assume you were offering your condolences and leave it at that.

Boy, I'll tell you, I have a lot of questions that need answers.

I know. A lot.

I know, but right now we've both got to get some sleep, okay?

Okay.

Oh, I really missed you.

Oh.

Oh, I really missed you, too.

Whisper all night, asking me why.

Can't you feel me drifting in time?

Under the spell of love, standing in the shadows, standing still.

Come in the call of love, listen to my heartbeat, say you will.

Don't let the night grow cold Look into the fire in my eyes

Don't let the night grow cold Walk into the fire

Call me baby, call me love Let me keep my heart safe

A vice president, if you can believe it.

The guy didn't even look old enough to graduate high school, says he's got no

time to listen to any new recordings.

Then he turns around and starts playing with his video game.

Welcome to the wonderful, wacky world of rock and roll.

I know I'm no rocket scientist in the music industry, okay?

We understand this. However, I'm not used to being dismissed without at least

having my case heard.

You can quit, you know. I can figure out a way to pay back your money.

Forget about it.

That's giving up.

Well, I guess you can't always live out your dreams.

Well, I'm not going to give up, okay?

You know why? Because I believe in you.

And I'm going to prove that you have talent.

And if they don't want us to play in their game, fine.

We'll make our own game up.

You really mean that? I really mean that. Forget about the money, girl.

I got my own pride at stake here.

Well, I guess you're one of the good guys after all.

That's a reward I get for a poor performance.

I can't wait to see what I get when I make you a hit.

Well, you may not have to wait.

Ah, good. Angela, my dear, I want you to see.

What are you doing in here?

Today's moving day.

Marvelous, isn't it?

Pablo gave it to me one summer when we were fishing in France.

What do you think?

Oh, well, I think it's in the wrong room.

Oh, no, it's perfect here.

I get such pleasure when I wake up in the morning and look at something like

this.

You intend to keep your interest in Falcon Crest until after we're married,

correct?

Yes, of course.

Well, I intend to keep my bedroom, my bedroom, until after we're married.

You aren't serious.

Charlie has a guest room all prepared for you.

Don't even stop. Tonight I am treating you to a quiet, romantic dinner for two.

And in return, I expect you to make mad, passionate love to me.

What if I'm not interested in dinner?

Even better, we can go directly to the good part. Oh!

Sorry. I'm just looking for my first period.

I thought you were too fragile to be out of bed unnecessarily.

I think my first mom class... Sort of necessary.

Lamaze class?

Yeah.

What didn't you tell anybody?

I didn't want to bother you two. Things have been kind of tense around here

lately, in case you hadn't noticed. Well, that's not the point. You can't go

Lamaze class alone.

Even I know you're supposed to have a coach.

Taken care of.

A friend from college said he'd be more than happy to help.

That's very resourceful, Robin.

Forget the damn dinner.

I don't know where you get off thinking you can make all the decisions around

here. I'm the father of that baby, and I refuse to be replaced by some guy from

college. Cole, I don't think that you could... I'm serious about this.

Now get on the phone.

Call your friend. Tell him thanks, but no thanks.

What do you think you're doing?

What I never had a chance to do when you were carrying Joseph.

Be a pregnant father.

Great.

Now you just tell me how I'm supposed to feel about that.

Robin has first call on you and I take what's left?

I expect you to try and understand my feelings.

You've been through this before. I haven't.

I don't want to miss my only chance.

I don't think so.

Like I said, I've already been there.

I love you, babe.

I've been driving around all night.

I really need to talk.

Have you come to the right place?

Everything is so mixed up, I don't know where to start.

The beginning. The beginning is a wonderful place to start.

I'll tell you what. Let me go postpone my cribbage game with Father

and I'll be right back.

Father Christopher's back?

He is.

Would you feel better if you spoke with Father Christopher?

He's supposed to be my camera boy.

All right.

You go into the study and make yourself comfortable and relax.

Everything's going to be okay.

I know.

I wanted to wait before resuming our counseling sessions.

I'm trying to sort out some feelings in my own life first.

I have feelings, too.

And I really need your help.

Anybody want some coffee?

Huh?

No, thank you.

Well, if you change your mind, there's a fresh pot in the kitchen.

Good night.

I can't stand the idea that she's able to give Cole something that I'm not.

What's worse, I'm not sure I'll be able to give the baby the love I know it

deserves. Oh, wait. The baby isn't responsible for the faults of the

I know that.

But every time I look at it, I'm going to think of Robin and Cole together.

Which is a union that you admittedly promoted.

I'm not sure I would have gone through with it.

Besides, I'm not sure that's the reason that Cole slept with her in the first

place.

Well, motives aside, Cole's a real crime, if you will.

was going along with the poorly conceived plan.

Poorly conceived, I'll say.

What's that old saying?

Be careful what you wish for, it might come true.

Well, there's something to that.

I should know, I spent most of my life wishing for a family.

But it's working out great for you.

I'm not that sure.

You're him.

Beautiful.

I'm afraid there are some people that won't agree with you.

Morning. Morning. Oh, good morning.

Did you have the early mass?

Yeah, on my way.

I have to go.

Thank you, Father. You are a terrific listener.

You have a large parish, Chris.

You can't ignore the other demands on your time.

Melissa's a very troubled young woman.

Troubles that cannot be resolved in all -night counseling sessions.

I know you're young and strong, Chris, but you're also vulnerable.

I'm not sure I see your point.

In my case, the test was alcohol.

What are you implying, Bob?

The question is, Christopher, what you think I'm implying.

All that over.

Goodbye, Chase.

I'm looking forward to your first bottle. Oh, our first bottle. Thank you.

Goodbye, Chase.

Goodbye, Connie.

Thank you for everything.

You've been a real lifesaver.

Better than a homewrecker.

You have a wonderful husband. Yes, I know.

Then you can't blame me for trying.

And you can't blame me for being happy that you're leaving.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

Thank you.

Have a safe trip.

I know it's unexpected, but when you stop to think about it, the idea makes

perfect sense. Your love for racing combined with your talent for dealing

the public, why, I can't think of a better person to have as a partner in

Tuscany Downs. You're kidding, right? This is some kind of a joke.

50 -50, right down the line. I'm not going to lie to you.

Yeah, I'll bet.

This isn't going to be cheap, but it's way below market.

How much will it cost me to be part of your plans?

30 million now, 10 more deferred.

Now, it doesn't have to all be in cash.

Securities can carry a part of it.

That's a lot of money. For some.

But for you, it's in easy reach.

Not that easy.

Forgettable.

Now, something told me this wasn't going to be such a long shot after all.

Something tells me you're flat broke, Richard.

Or else you'd never have the nerve to make such a ridiculous suggestion.

No, that's not true.

I'm offering you a terrific chance.

All I want is a chance to see how far the mighty will fall.

Hi, Maggie.

Is Chase here?

Tell whoever it is to go away.

Second thought.

Just slam the door.

Chase.

Bad timing for an uninvited guest.

It'll only take a moment.

I've already done the same with Richard. It's a check for...

Your share of profits I made from the sale of Falcon Crest. Are you doing this

on the advice of your attorney or just trying to buy forgiveness?

I can't expect you to forgive me.

But I don't want blood money either.

Why don't you put that in our business account? I don't even want to look.

I appreciate the responsibility you give me, Mr. Channing. Now, don't be silly.

You've earned it. You've more than proven your loyalty.

I look after the counting room like it was my own money.

You count on it.

Oh, I do. I do. Believe me.

How much do you think goes through here every day, Al?

Well, that's hard to say, me just coming in and all. When I worked at Arlington,

we did two to three mil per, a little more on weekends.

I guess this would be close.

I'd say it'd be real close.

How easy do you think it would be to track down, oh, say, 1 % of that $2 or

million if it were to disappear?

$20, $30 grand isn't any big deal on a one -time rake -off.

I've heard of guys that can make that much disappear all the time. Oh, yeah?

Piece of cake.

I'm talking a pretty big piece of cake.

I'm talking 1 % a day.

You mean a full -scale skim -offery?

People can get themselves in a whole lot of trouble if they do something like

that. Al, Al, all I'm suggesting is something more along the lines of an

unsecured loan.

You can call it what you want, Mr. Shannon, but the Fed likes to know about

stuff so it can collect its fees and its taxes. The government doesn't look

kindly on people walking off with its money.

I know it doesn't. I'm not going to send them a letter.

Who's to know?

Maybe no one.

If someone does find out, you can kiss this place goodbye.

Kiss yourself goodbye, and hell, I'll probably end up in jail cell right next

you. Oh, I certainly hope not. Now listen, this is only temporary.

No one's going to know I need you, but I'm going to go through with this no

matter.

Whoever helps is going to end up with something extra in their Christmas doll.

I guess I'm good, but I expect your first delivery tonight.

No,

I've given it a lot of thought, Grandmother.

I'm going to return to the new glove.

The music business wasn't as easy as you thought it was, is that it?

I guess I...

It did get in a little bit over my head.

Well, whatever the reason, I'm certainly glad you realize that I'm not always

wrong.

I'm just a hard -headed Italian. That's why you're crazy about me.

Now, don't butter me up.

I'm still angry that it took you this long to come around.

My position as publisher of the New Globe is still permanent, is it not?

Now, why would that have any bearing on your decision?

Grandmother, you told me that my position is permanent. Full autonomy.

Not going back on your word now, are you?

Of course not.

Good. You'll have Greg drop the papers to that effect?

You don't trust me? Of course I trust you.

Papers are merely a formality.

All right, you'll have the papers in the morning.

Good. I can't wait.

I'm going to call Delaney and have him arrange a welcome home party for me.

Lance? Yeah?

What about that business partner of yours that...

Babylonia, or whatever her name is.

Things are going to change around here, aren't they?

Oh, yes.

More than you know.

I'll take care of Babylonia.

All right.

See that you do.

Only if you dislike becoming an overnight singing sensation.

Don't do that. Tell me. Well, I think I may have outsmarted the greatest

outsmarter of all time.

No fooling. No fooling.

And before you know it, you're going to be living right here at Falcon Crest.

Now I know you're talking crazy.

No, my dear, I'm quite serious. I told that lady in there that I was going to

take care of you. And as you're quickly finding out, I'm a man of my word.

Well, let's go back to my place. Tell me all about it.

Is that all you want?

Hardly. Next

on Falcon

Crest. You're very kind to me.

It's been a long time since I felt anybody care.

I care, my love.

Is there somebody else?

Of course not.

Is that an admirer of yours, Emma?

I've never seen him before in my life.

Looks like Miss Goody Toot -Doo is back in town.

I'm here to stay.

We'll see.

Thank you.
