You're very kind to me.

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

I care more than that.

Was somebody else?

Quite not.

Is that an admirer of yours, Emma?

I've never seen him before in my life.

Looks like Miss Goody Toothpaste is back in town and here to stay.

We'll see.

Thank you.

You guys, look at the car, but don't touch it.

Yeah, who said?

Me and my four ugly brothers.

Some of your neighbor friends are bothering my car.

Well, you shouldn't drive that fancy car down here.

And you shouldn't live down here.

What's this?

We're celebrating.

You being in charge of the new Globe again.

Oh, all that.

Yes, that.

At least I'm going to have to take an ad out in your classifieds.

It's going to say, Wanted.

Up -and -coming rock and roll singer looking for new producer. No way.

Look, I'm as interested in your career as you are.

Anyway, getting the new Globe back is only our first step into getting what we

really want.

Why are you being so mysterious about all this?

Just trust me.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

I didn't grow up under Angela Channing's wing for nothing.

Salute.

Here's to the new globe and my grandson at the helm.

Cheers.

I think I'll just file these contracts before somebody changes somebody's mind.

Sorry I missed breakfast.

I've been making arrangements.

Get your sun hat ready, Angela. The weather is perfect for it.

I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about. I am talking about a ride

in a purple and white striped balloon.

Just the two of us. 2 ,000 feet above telephone calls and business deals and

attorneys. Oh, no offense intended, Mr. Reardon. Oh, no offense taken, sir.

Sounds idyllic.

But I'm behind in my work here.

Greg, tell her.

The grapes won't stop growing if she takes the morning off.

I think it'll be a waste of my powers of persuasion.

Oh, by herself, Angela Channing is a hung jury.

Angela, they're waiting for us. I won't take no for an answer. Now, there you go

bullying me. And you're just as stubborn as ever.

Here we go again.

Emma will go, won't you, Emma?

Sure. My dance card's completely empty.

I love a woman with a sense of adventure.

Where are we going? Up in the balloon.

Poor Emma.

She's afraid of heights.

You know, you really should have gone, Angela.

After all, there's nothing here that couldn't have waited.

Oh, I know what he wants. He wants to get me a loan and pinpoint a wedding

What's so wrong with that?

After all, he's handsome, gallant, and obscenely wealthy.

And when you are married to him, you get all the fucking press back. But you saw

what just happened. We're so much alike.

If we were married, it would be one constant battle for control, and

got to lose.

I sometimes wonder which would be more painful for you, winning or losing.

In my next life, I'm coming back as a clinging vine.

I don't understand it, Maggie. Chase needs money. I have money. What's the

problem? You do realize that that dress, which makes you look like a million,

costs $10 ,000.

Then it's a bargain.

Oh, come on, Terry. You'll wear it once. It'll be hanging in the closet with the

rest of your bargains.

Maggie, please don't make me sorry that you got your memory back.

Besides, you know I'm flush. That's why I'm offering to bail you and Chase out

of your troubles.

Look, Terry, I just happened to mention that Chase needed a little help

financing the Demiriak project. We are not on our way to the poorhouse. You

know, there are a lot of people who are after my help.

Richard Channing is practically begging me to invest in Tuscany Downs, and

Angela's already invited me over to her house for a business meeting.

Terry, what is it with you? Your fortune burning a hole in your pocket or

something?

It doesn't.

mean anything to me if people don't look up to me. Who am I? I'm either Maggie

Giaverdi's kid sister or Greg Virden's cast off.

I want to be respected for me.

I'm sorry.

I mean, you know we appreciate the offer of the money. We really do. We just, we

don't need the money.

But it's wonderful to know that you are there.

Now, you watch out for Angela Channing, okay? Because I'll tell you, she is one

dangerous woman. She is also very rich and very powerful.

And so are you.

Especially in that breath.

Terry, I know we've had our differences, but I was hoping we might become

friends.

Boys and buddies, Angie.

I wouldn't go that far.

Right. Let's get down to business.

Can't this just be between the two of us?

I'm feeling outnumbered.

Why didn't you bring your attorney?

Because I'm only going to listen.

If I hear anything interesting, I'll talk it over with him.

Keeps to reading.

No, thank you, Johnny.

Well, we've drawn up an offer.

As it happens, a very lucrative one for your vineyard.

What makes you think I'd sell my vineyard to anyone?

Let alone you.

Because you're a very smart little girl.

And you know, and I know... that your only interest in wine is a full glass at

dinner.

And I know that you know that Chase is going to need those vineyards.

You wouldn't be trying to beat him to the punch now, would you, Angela?

Well, our little Terry's growing up.

Which means that she's also smart enough to make the best possible deal, which,

of course, we're prepared to do.

I think you'll find the bottom line figures very hard to resist.

What a lot of zeros.

But I can get almost that much money and still keep my land.

Bank loans, Angela.

Ever hear of them?

The only reason to go into debt is to have something to go into debt for.

How about a piece of the action at Tuscany Downs?

Richard's already asked me to become his partner.

Of course, I'm not quite sure that's the business opportunity I'm looking for.

Well, that's the difference between us.

If I were you, I'd join Richard and squeeze him out.

But then I suppose some people are born just to stand on the sidelines.

Charlie, would you show Mrs. Ransom out, please?

Good luck, Terry.

You know, you should listen to Angela Gray.

Maybe you can get into the game, too.

Maybe. This way, Mrs. Ransom.

That was very convincing, Angela.

I'm Harry with Richard.

Richard isn't interested in Terry. He just wants her money, and then he'll

squeeze her out.

Of course.

And then she'll eagerly come and sell you her vineyards.

The poor little darling will be devastated, and I'll be there with a

hand. Of course.

Charity becomes me, don't you think?

Don't you believe in knocking?

Sorry, I feel so at home here.

You just getting up?

I was sleeping off a headache.

You were still out when Cole and I came home from our childbirth class last

night.

I was at church with Father Christopher.

They say the confession is good for the soul.

The counseling sessions were ordered by the court.

And believe me, with you in my hair all the time, I need them.

Okay, okay, I'm sorry.

We saw a film last night.

How a baby's born.

It was awful.

The contractions, the sweating, the pussy, Melissa, I'm scared.

It's different for everybody.

I was in labor all night with Joseph.

I thought it would never end.

And just when I knew I'd die from it, the doctor was holding him up, and I

see his angry little purple face.

And all of a sudden, I knew I loved him like I never loved anyone.

And at that moment, I forgot all the hurting and hard work it took to bring

into this world.

It'll be the same way for you, too.

With one difference.

I won't get to keep my baby.

You had several calls from London while you were away, Peter.

And the world did not stop because I was not there to take them.

Sometimes business does better when left unattended.

Well, I could argue with you about that.

You don't win all your arguments, Angela.

The balloon ride was heaven.

Ha!

She never opened her eyes.

Where's Lance tonight?

Oh, he's probably out with those weirdos.

What he sees in that dreadful music, I can't imagine.

I can't.

Her name is Apollonia.

Emma, please.

I'm eating.

There was a time when we were considered weirdos, Angela. You were the first to

wear a two -piece bathing suit and learn all the latest dance steps.

Remember the Lambeth walk?

I never looked back.

Oh, nonsense.

You love to talk about the old days just as much as I do.

What memories we have, Emma, your mother and I. And what memories we're going to

be making. Just as soon as I can get her to name the date.

Peter, I don't want to be pushed.

I would give anything to have someone as dashing as Peter pushing me.

It doesn't seem fair.

I can't even find a husband and you have to fight them off.

You're just about out of excuses, Angela. We don't need a big wedding if

what's worrying you.

Charlie can drive us to Nevada tonight. We can be man and wife by breakfast.

Emma can come along as a witness.

And we can honeymoon in Tahoe on the way back.

You're both out of your mind. I can't be rushed into a thing like this.

Next week, then.

A simple ceremony in the garden.

Peter, I'm not ready.

And just when do you think you might be ready?

When I am, I will let you know.

Let's say I give you ten days to set the date.

And if you should choose not to do so, I shall leave for Europe.

And I shall take my share of Falcon Crest with me.

My attorney has made some changes in the contract. I'm sure you'll find they're

only minor.

Nothing here we can't live with.

Good. Glad you're here. Now, could we please get on with the signing?

Signing a little thing like putting your name on a piece of paper can change

your entire life.

Imagine me, Terry Renton, owning 50 % of Tuscany Downs. Hard to believe, isn't

it? What does one way to a board meeting?

I'm sure you'll look lovely no matter what you wear, partner.

I didn't come on as a silent partner, if that's what you're trying to say. 30

million buys me an equal voice in Tuscany Downs.

Cheers.

Absolutely. You do have a few things to learn first.

You can teach me.

Oh, I'll be more than happy to go over all those little details of the

with you.

We're fully computerized, you know.

Mainframe system with direct access storage capacity of 1 ,000 megabytes and

point -of -entry terminals in every department.

You'll love it.

You have a very attractive attorney.

I wouldn't read anything into that if I were you.

Why not?

Afraid people might think you're human?

See you around, partner.

too close to home.

I have a feeling you are going to earn that $30 million.

Very curious about little Ms.

Ransom and what she's up to here.

She turned you down flat two weeks ago.

$30 million, she's entitled to change her mind, shall we?

Tell me, how do you know so much about my computer system?

Well, personally, I prefer a swivel chair.

So the price of barrels is going up according to this letter from your

Shall I still go ahead with the order? Absolutely not. And the order that came

in last month, send that back, C .O .D.

Right.

Where are you off to?

Oh, I thought I'd pay Maggie Gioberti a little visit.

She hasn't seen anyone since she and Chase called off the renewal of their

wedding vows.

They've said something to offend her, so I thought I'd go over and apologize.

It must be very reassuring for you to know that she doesn't remember any of

fights that you had with her husband.

It's an amazing thing, the mind.

With her amnesia, Maggie's mind is like a blank piece of paper waiting to be

written on.

And you want to be the first in line with a pen.

Say hello to Maggie for me.

My heart goes out to you, Maggie.

Amnesia must be a very lonely state.

I guess the word hasn't gotten around yet. You know, the Tuscany Valley isn't

comfortable when you can't remember your friends or your enemy.

Well, that would be a distinctive advantage. Well, I'm sure you're going

things out for yourself, such as your son's arrangement.

I wonder which of the ladies he lives with he calls his wife.

I would assume the one my grandson calls Mommy.

Maggie, if things get too difficult for you, I want you to know you're welcome

to come to Falcon Crest.

And you can stay as long as you like until you find a place that you want to

such as San Francisco or Reno.

The guest room is available.

Well, that's very kind of you, Angela.

Why would I want to do that?

Well, I just think it would be a wonderful new start for you.

You could rid yourself of a man who's lied to you and cheated on you and made

enemies from one end of the valley to the other.

I'm beginning to remember something here.

Dear Aunt Angela, is it possible that you are guilty of every underhanded

that you've accused Chase of?

That you lied about his father's death, that you perjured yourself to ruin his

reputation as a pilot, and even now you would say anything to turn me against

him?

You never give up, do you?

No.

Looks like Miss Goody Two -Shoes is back in town.

I'm here to stay.

We'll see.

Oh, and I take back my invitation to the guest room.

What have you done to my office, huh?

Where's your boy, Delaney?

No wonder this paper's turned into a fourth -rate daily.

It's three o 'clock in the afternoon. The pressure should be rolling. He's

You know, Lance, Mr. Channing, we're busy on the road.

Good afternoon.

I'm awfully sorry to keep you folks waiting.

Mr. Roberts.

All right, let's just dispense with all the formalities here.

The last time I was in this, uh, office...

I made you an offer, a good offer for the New Globe, and you turned it down.

a matter of fact, your reply was unprintable, to say the least.

What if I told you that I've reconsidered?

That I'm willing to give you your old job back as publisher?

I'd wonder what you were after.

K -R -D -C.

I make you publisher here, and you turn over the operation of the radio station

to me.

Don't just stand there. What do you think he's after, Counselor?

Maybe he's tired of the newspaper business.

So much reading, you know.

Uh, I have my reasons, Richard, and believe me, they're all above board.

Oh, good.

Then you won't mind sharing them with us.

I could rescind my offer.

You could also sweeten it, too.

That is, if you want to make a deal.

What is it you have in mind?

Assets, Lance. I don't want to trade jobs. I want to trade holdings.

Your share in the new globe for my radio station. That is in addition to the

publisher's job.

What do you think, Ralph?

Don't ask me. I just work here. What's going on around here? Can't you make up

your own mind? This is a waste of time. Wait a minute.

One second.

Okay, you've got a deal.

Draw the papers.

They'll be on your desk in the morning.

Prepare to move downstairs, Delaney.

Uh, pretty lawyer.

How about the contracts?

Go easy on the fine print, will you?

Don't worry, Mr. Compton.

I'll have them printed up in big black letters.

Even you can read them.

We did it, Ralph.

What do you say?

Come on over to the radio station with me.

Ah, not me, kid. To this day, I can't understand how voices come out of little

boxes. I'm just a type of printed, read it kind of guy.

What did your grandmother think about all this swapping around?

Well, my contract gives me absolute authority over all matters concerning

new globe.

Besides, I haven't told her yet.

When do you have to get back?

Oh, I got a couple hours still. I don't have a session till two.

Why don't you run from here to that slide over there? Go ahead. Come on.

I'll climb you.

Don't you just love his little leg?

You broke the record. Under ten seconds.

You make a wonderful father.

Father.

It was a good idea coming here.

I wanted to get to know Joseph better.

And to find out how things are going.

I'm really trying, but it doesn't seem to get any easier.

It's worth the effort. Save your family.

Do you think after all that's happened, I'm really going to be able to love

Robin's baby?

I am sure of it.

So you'll find something that'll touch your heart, like Joseph's little legs,

and nothing else will matter.

You're very kind to me.

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

I care most.

I don't like partners, Al. Never did. And I especially don't like partners

Terry Ranson. God help me. It's not going to be easy to get rid of her now.

racetrack's going to see to that. It's going to make her even richer than she

is. She's got money in her blood, just like everyone else in this valley.

There's nothing wrong with a little money, Mr. Channing.

It's like opium, Al.

It numbs the soul.

How much did that little skimming operation siphon off the track this

Three quarters of a million. And what would your take?

Two percent, same as always. That's 15 ,000. That's not bad for a week's work.

Now, since Terry has provided me with the money, I'm going to put a stop to

skimming. That county room with the racetrack is a goldmine for both of us.

said no more, Al.

You see what I mean? It becomes a habit. It gets in the blood pretty soon. No

matter how much you make, it's not enough.

I thought you said you wanted to give Mrs. Rance in a hard time. Don't you

about her. I'll take care of Mrs. Rance.

Hello, Jordan.

Richard.

Ruining Terry so soon?

Shameful, especially since her money isn't even cold in your vault yet. My,

big years we have.

Not big enough to hear what you've got planned for. You want to fill me in?

Oh, I don't know. What do you think? Should I go to the trouble of

her? Maybe I should have her boiled in oil or burned at the stake.

You open for suggestions?

Not to change the subject, but Greg Reardon invited me for lunch.

You know, Angela doesn't let him eat unless he brings something home to her,

I'm not talking about a doggy bag. You be careful.

He is not going to get any little tidbits from me. I turned him down.

Oh, well, now.

Playing hard to get, huh?

Now, that's a Jordan Jennifer I've come to appreciate.

I wish I could figure you out.

I'm going to.

Why bother, Richard?

Why not, uh...

Just leave things the way they are.

You have your little secret, and I have mine.

And the new globe is all yours again.

Bless you.

This is part of our future.

The radio station?

Mm -hmm.

It's a talk radio now, but it's about to have a change of format.

Like the top 40?

That's right, baby.

Yeah. You'll be on top of the top 40 every single week.

You're a genius.

I'm inspired by you, beautiful.

Let's go check out our very own spot in the dial.

Sir. Sir, just a moment.

That is.

Would you say that you and I are good friends?

Oh, yes, indeed.

I value our friendship more than you realize.

Well, I think the valley needs a new irrigation system.

Oh, that's not what you said last year when you had me shoot down everything

that came before the Board of Supervisors. But I can always change my

can't I? Yes, you've been known to do that.

Well, with some changes, I think that Chase's proposal was just the ticket

providing that the dam is placed in the right spot.

Like on top of Jason's winery Thinking that he should spend more time with his

family.

Yes Do you think we have the vote well Jason Hartman always vote the same

but Brixie and Espinosa They owe me I did them a favor on the highway bond

issue. All right Let's get to work This

is so strange

Seen a picture of my father? Mm -hmm. You know, when you're an orphan, you

always try to imagine what your parents look like.

They're tall, short, dark hair, light hair.

There are moments when you look exactly like him.

Something about the eyes, I think.

You loved him, didn't you?

He bought me a pony for my seventh birthday. He taught me how to ride it.

I don't know who's worse off, the little girl who lost her father or the little

boy who never had one.

I'm glad we found each other.

Yes.

Angela hadn't hidden you away, denied your very existence. It might have

happened before this.

I thought about that, Cass.

I just can't be angry with her. She's my grandmother.

That makes you an heir to Falcon Crest.

You're going to be a very powerful person in the Tuscany Valley.

As far as I'm concerned, Falcon Crest can remain in the hands of others.

I'm a priest, not a winemaker.

Yes, but would you have chosen to become a priest if you'd been raised as

Angela's grandson?

She didn't.

You're going to have some tough decisions to make.

I'm here if you need me.

Funny me saying that to a priest.

No, I want you to have that.

Thanks.

For years, those of us privileged enough to serve on the Board of Supervisors

have struggled to come up with a more equitable way to distribute water to the

vineyards. And for years, you fought every plan the rest of us had proposed.

Well, I guess I didn't like what I saw, Chase.

However, Supervisors Brixey, Espinoza, and myself have come up with a reservoir

plan that even an old stickler like me can live with. John, the Corps of

Engineers is studying our water situation right now, and it was you who

that we wait for the results of this report before taking any action. That

report won't be ready until six months from now. I mean, this valley is thirsty

right now.

Let's hear what you have to say.

Last year, Supervisor Giverty proposed that we build a single large dam at the

mouth of Gold Creek Canyon and distribute the water through a series of

aqueducts on the valley floor.

Admirable, Chase.

Admirable. But it's too expensive.

We'd have to build a new highway through the canyon.

Now, my plan, our plan, is similar to Chase's.

except the reservoir would be built farther downstream.

Right on top of some Fry's Vineyard land, it appears to me.

Ah, the Giannini lands, that's where I'm doing business.

Of course, those affected would be generously reimbursed.

What's going on here, John? You're trying to railroad this thing through at

expense, and I'd like to know why.

I realize it's getting late, so I clue that we reconvene tomorrow night in

special station to consider this proposal.

Second. Hold on a minute.

There's a motion on the floor, Chase.

Those in favor?

Motion carries.

This meeting is adjourned until tomorrow night at 8 o 'clock.

Take it easy, you two. People are living it. I sure as hell hope they are.

Costello's up to his old tricks, inspired, no doubt, by Angela Channing.

careful. You're asking for a lawsuit that could really wipe you out.

Look, it's no secret.

My aunt wants me out of this valley.

And I don't believe that it's just a coincidence that the largest block of

to be condemned involves my operation.

We can argue this out in the meeting tomorrow night.

I'm so disappointed in you two.

You just couldn't wait for the results of the report, huh?

Well, you've been suckered by this one.

And I'm afraid you've jumped on the wrong bandwagon.

I'm willing to bet there'll be some new faces on this board come the next

election. I don't dare you, Chase.

You can't talk to me like that. Chase, you can make your points tomorrow night.

Hell, take as long as you want.

Go tell the board and the public that you want us to vote against a plan that

will benefit the entire valley.

Let's get out of here.

That wasn't too smart, Chase.

Tomorrow night you're going to be needing all the votes you can get from

people you just told off.

Robin! No.

It's me, your wife.

I've been with him laboring, trying to get to the hospital through this flood.

You've been crying.

It doesn't matter. I just couldn't sleep.

No.

Tell me.

I was just remembering the rainy evening just after we got married.

Joseph in his pajamas.

Three of us around a fire.

It'll be that way again.

No.

I'll never feel that safe again.

I get scared sometimes, too.

Scared that we're drifting apart.

Scared that we won't need each other anymore.

we should see father christopher together

you don't have the time you're too busy with

fatherhood

Hello, Melissa.

Is there any special reason for dragging me away from the parish council

meeting? Don't you like it here?

This is my favorite place in the whole world.

My father had it built for my 16th birthday.

Do you know that two months ago, almost exactly to the minute we met for the

first time, I brought you here to celebrate?

You know, I remember that day.

You wanted to have me thrown off your property, if I recall.

I didn't know you back then. I wouldn't have you thrown off today.

Look at it.

It'll all belong to Joseph one day.

Joseph and his brother or sister.

I wonder if they'll fight over it.

Like everyone else in the valley.

It's important to own land. It means wealth, power, belonging.

A place of your own for all time.

Now, the belonging, I understand.

Wealth and power, I wish I could figure out why that was so important to

everyone. I hope you never do.

Father, is it worth to pretend something you don't feel, or to be honest and

hurt someone?

It's a trick question, Melissa, and you know it.

I sincerely urge my fellow

supervisors to look at the whole picture and consider the long -range

implications of this proposal and to vote no.

Now speaking in behalf of his proposal for a new water district, Supervisor

Costello. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Fellow supervisors, friends.

I know you're all getting pretty tired of me running off at the mouth of here.

So tonight, I'm going to turn my time over to one of the valley's most

distinguished citizens,

Angela Cheney.

This plan is the answer to what is becoming a drastic situation.

Now, I'm sorry if it hurts my nephew, Mr.

Gioberti, but it has always been risky to work land that you don't own. We've

learned that the hard way in the Valley.

You know, I am a woman of few words, not like Mr. Costello.

But this proposal...

will help the Tuscany Valley for generations to come.

Ladies, gentlemen, I thank you for your time.

Come to order, please.

Wyatt. Thank you. We've heard from both sides in regard to the motion before the

board, and we now must cast our vote.

Those opposed to John Costello's proposal for a new water district will

indicate by raising your right hand.

Those in favor?

Motion carried.

This meeting is adjourned.

Sorry about that, Chase, but the majority prevails.

The majority can be as corrupt as the crooks who lead it. I'm going to get

with this, John.

Chase, I just did.

Well, Maggie, Cole, I didn't know you were here.

Oh, come on, Angela, you don't expect us to believe that. You always like to

have your family present when you immaculate one of your relatives.

What?

Thank you for bringing me along tonight.

I hope I'm not cramping in style.

No way. Just relax and have some fun.

Not too much fun, though. Grandmother made me swear to her that I'd protect

Protect me from what?

Is that an admirer of yours, Emma?

I've never seen him before in my life.

I think he's flirting with Apolloni.

He's got eyes for you.

Come on, Lance. Let's get this down the road.

Okay. I'm ready if you are.

Put on your dancing boots, girl. Have fun.

You're going to pay us 500 bucks to let your friend here do a song that she

wrote? Uh -huh, that's right.

And you get credit for introducing a new hit.

Come on, what do you say?

Well, let's do it.

Okay, baby.

Knock him out.

I've known men out west in California dressed like in a magazine.

The men I like wear boots and a pair of tight -fitting jeans.

I'd rather take a ride in a high -toned Chevy than a sloth -long limousine.

I really enjoy the night city fun, but you can't give me what I need.

You come here often?

This is my first time.

How about you?

I've never been here before in my life.

Ursula just turned in here all by herself tonight.

Ursula?

She's my truck.

She's a beauty.

Everybody! I think she knew you were here.

Do you believe in faith?

I'm beginning to.

Do you want to go for a ride?

Where?

Selena?

The moon?

I may never bring you back here.

Are you crazy or something?

I guess we'll find out.

Come on, let's go.

Next on Falcon Crest.

Now, I hope you had a good look at him, because that's the last time you're

going to see him.

I'm doing all the program format changes so that your music is going to be

heard. I mean, before you know it, these radio stations will be calling up,

picking up on your songs.

Sounds like I'm going to be a star.

What's this all about?

Well, I guess Lance neglected to tell you about the little swap we've made.

I want him out of here.

Charlie has packed your things and they're in the car.

You're kicking me out?

Exactly.

Thank you.
