All language subtitles for Falcon Crest s05e12 False Hope

Dr. Sanders, what are you doing here so
early?

Robin, it's hope.

Your baby's heart. We have to operate
immediately.

Oh. Well, you have to hand it to
Cassandra. She certainly does know how

off a disappearing act.

She's carrying my baby, and I want her
back here.

Come on, you are not suggesting that
while I had amnesia, I had some kind of

torrid love affair with an unnamed
stranger.

I'm not suggesting it.

This is...

Feeling better?

Yeah, thanks. Good.

Robin? Yeah.

Hi, I'm Dr. Sanders, resident
pediatrician here. Hi.

Hi. Now, after you give birth, I'm going
to be examining your baby to make sure

everything's okay.

Uh -huh. It might be a while.

Our OB told us that she could be in
labor all night. Oh, boy.

Here comes another contraction.

I'm right here. I know exactly what
you're going through.

Don't push. Just breathe.

Just don't say anything sappy like,
it'll be over before I know it, okay?

Keep breathing.

I got here as soon as I could.

Excuse me, sir.

This is a labor room. Only the mother
and her coach are allowed in here. I'm

father. Just in and out. Oh, well, then
I'm afraid you're going to have to

leave. I'm the mother.

Yes, I'm going to be.

I want both my baby's parents here with
me.

Of course.

It's okay.

All right, we're here.

Just breathe.

Keep breathing. All right.

I even have people combing Europe.

Cassandra Wilder has dropped off the
face of the earth.

Well, doesn't she have some family she
might have turned to? Yeah, she has a

brother, but she's estranged from him,
and her mother's in a mental

Father Christopher Rossini is her half
-brother.

Yeah, I found that out, but if she said
anything to him, he's treating it as if

he heard it in confession.

Well, Richard...

What about her financial holdings? Is
there something there that could help

trace it? She sold everything she has.
She left town with enough money to live

like Cleopatra.

Well, you have to hand it to Cassandra.
She certainly does know how to pull off

a disappearing act.

She's carrying my baby, and I want her
back here.

When were you planning on telling me
about this? You and I had an agreement,

Verdi. We still do, as far as I'm
concerned. I turned down a very

offer from Angela Channing to distribute
your wines. Now.

Now I find out your vineyards are
crawling with mealy moths. We're doing

everything we can to beat this thing.

Just like you did everything you could
to cover it up, right?

That's not the case, and you know damn
well it isn't. Isn't it?

Mealy moths don't infest a vineyard
overnight. You must have known about

when you signed the deal with me. I
don't do business that way, Jack.

As far as I'm concerned, you breached
our agreement. I need a supplier I can

depend on. You find yourself another
distributor for your wine.

I only hope, for your sake, your
deception doesn't end up costing me any

Sibling, won't you sit down, please?

To be honest, Mrs. Channing, I made a
mistake. I never should have jumped ship

in the first place.

Well, at least you're man enough to
admit it.

I don't know what you've done about
finding another distributor.

Well, nothing yet.

Though, of course, we are entertaining
offers.

You've worked with me for years. You
know I'm reliable.

I'm willing to come back under the terms
we had before.

No, that's very touching.

Isn't that generous, Greg?

Oh, I could cry.

Then we have a deal.

Not on your life.

I'm not very fond of traitors.

Traitor? I'm a businessman. At the time,
I thought I was making a good deal.

We've chased you, Bertie.

Around here, that's worth the death
penalty.

Now, I am willing to take you back, but
it's going to cost you.

I'm raising my prices 2 % right across
the board.

That's a pretty stiff penalty to pay for
a little judgment error, isn't it?

What if I were you, I would try to
recoup your damages from Chase.

Now, does Mrs. Channing have a deal?

Now, if this happens again, I'll wipe
you out.

Good day, Mr. Stubling.

Curious how he miraculously managed to
return to the fold.

Or are you omitting to tell me
something?

What are you suggesting?

That I had something to do with Chase's
invitation?

Oh, it's impossible.

Roger, here.

Let's go.

Where? The hospital.

Didn't you get my message? Oh, Robin had
her baby. A girl, seven and a half

pounds. We're grandparents again.

Well, um... Look, I know how you feel
about Cole's situation.

But she is our granddaughter.

You go on without me. I'll, uh... I'm
just not ready to accept it yet.

Darling, take a chance and you'll know
my name.

I don't need to fly in the fast lane.

And I won't ever look back. And I don't
sing and dance around.

Look at me, baby, stand beside me.

What is so difficult?

All I want is a cute little spin. What,
you can't sing and dance at the same

time? It'll look great on stage, if you
ever get there. Wait a second. You've

been insulting her ever since we got
here.

Who is this bozo?

My boyfriend. I'm her manager.

Well, which is it, boyfriend or manager?

It's a little of both, all right?

Oh, yeah?

Well, a little bit of both is too much
of either.

Look, Turnstile Records hired me to make
a video. You keep your mouth shut or

get off the set.

All right, let's go right away, please.
Come on, let's get out of here.

I can't leave until the job is finished.
He's treating you like dirt.

Would you stop being such a mother hen?

What? Look, go home and get some rest,
okay? I could be here all night.

Well, so what? So, if you're going to
stick it out, so am I.

Don't be silly.

I'll do just fine without you.

your first positions, please.

Camera. Mark it, please.

Apollonia video, turnstile record, scene
one, take 14.

And roll playback, please.

Baby.

I don't need to fly and look back at me.

And I won't ever look back. And I don't
sing and dance around.

Look at me, baby.

Boy, I'll tell you, hospitals have
really changed since I had you. I think

was like, oh, I don't know, something
like a week before your father was even

allowed to hold you.

Now they even let old distant relatives
like me in here.

Ah, not so distant. You'll be as close
to her as you are to Joseph.

Oh, I hope so.

I hope so. That's what we decided to
name her.

Hope. Hope Margaret.

Oh. Oh, that's... Oh, that's very nice.

It was Cole and Melissa that really came
up with it.

We better take Hope back to the nursery,
okay? Goodbye, darling.

I'll walk with you.

I wish Dad was here.

Yeah, so do I.

Oh, my goodness.

Well... She's wonderful, isn't she?

Oh, please, she's just... There's just
something so magical about babies,

especially when they're your own.

It won't be so hard giving her up.

I mean, I would call on Melissa to look
after her.

I mean, it's not like I'll never see her
again.

No, of course not.

Oh, honey.

Your newspaper, Miss Channing. Oh, thank
you, Kelly.

Well, I heard Apollonia's car drive in
about an hour ago.

She seems to be spending a lot of time
away from here by herself.

No, actually, she hasn't been by
herself.

As a matter of fact, last night I think
she was with, uh, Duane.

No way.

I was with Duane.

first chapter of Sudden Friendship, an
exciting novel by Maggie Gioberti. Oh,

no. It all appears to be about life here
in the Tuscany Valley.

Oh, Angela, I think you're going to find
this rather fascinating.

Maybe I'd better save that. Yeah, not so
far.

Let me read the first paragraph.

If Andrea Chandler had a favorite
pastime, changing her will was it.

Nothing made her happier than to cut
people out, stick people in, add

mandating this and objecting to that,
and in general make herself a nuisance

with her poor, overworked lawyer. Oh.

Ah, Andrea Chandler.

Wouldn't be anybody we know, would it?

Touche for Maggie. She certainly has a
fix on you, Mother.

You've got to stop this nonsense
immediately.

It's the next thing to liable.

Yes, ma 'am. I'll talk to the
publishers. You will sue the publisher.

and the New Globe, and Maggie Gioberti.

And I mean Sue right now.

Sue.

Your character, Andre, is a hoot. What a
monster.

You've got Angela down to a T.

Well, I won't be making any social calls
at Falcon Crest for the next couple of

weeks, I can tell you that much.

Maybe for the next couple of years.

I don't know why you didn't let me read
this sooner.

Well, I had my reasons. I, uh... You
know, uh, excuse me.

Honey, I think you better, uh, read
this, uh, before the rest of the world

okay?

What could be so terrible? Oh, maybe
nothing.

Let you be the judge.

I'm going to the hospital today.

Are you going to be stopping by to see
the baby?

No.

What is so threatening about this? You
are open -minded, intelligent.

You know, I'm upset about this whole
thing.

I mean, Robin McGready.

What's her story? What does she expect
to gain out of all this?

She could take a walk with that baby any
day now, and we'd never see either one

of them again. I'm telling you, don't
get too attached to that child, Maggie.

But, Jordan, I have left messages for
you everywhere.

Sorry, I have an appointment in half an
hour. Good. Then you won't want to beat

about the bush. Now, why are you
avoiding me?

I've made that perfectly clear.

Yeah, well, perfectly clear to you is
really very murky to me. Now, if it's

something to do with my running for
office with your father, please explain

I don't want to discuss it.

You have made your choice.

Now, we all get to live with it.

What choice?

I am not dating your father. I want you.

Well, that's impossible now, Greg.

Will you just quit grilling me? This is
not a courtroom.

Fine.

Oh, by the way, Angela Channing wants
the serialization of Maggie Giobetti's

novel stopped at once.

Or else she'll file suit.

Fine go ahead and file

Hello

Angela

Well, Chase, I understand you have a new
grandchild.

Well, you didn't have to come all the
way over here to congratulate me.

would have been more than sufficient.

I came over to discuss mealy moths.

Jack Stubling, my distributor, came by
my office yesterday.

Didn't waste a minute, did he?

Well, he's worried.

I mean, infestation like that can grow
like wildfire.

I hope you're doing everything that you
know how to control it.

Oh, yes.

You know, though, that infestation might
have started in your vineyards.

Nonsense. The inspector was over there
and he gave me a clean bill of health.

As usual.

Well, we've covered infants and insects.

Anything else on your mind?

Yes.

Lawsuits.

I am suing Maggie and I understand
Stubling is suing you.

Let me guess.

You're suing for libel and he's suing
for breach of contract.

Now, no one ever said you were dumb,
Chase.

I want you to give my very best, best to
Maggie and tell her that I didn't find

one bit of humor in what I read this
morning.

Yes, it is hard to see the humor when
you're staring at so much truth, isn't

Up to now, I've been able to skim off
about a quarter of a million for myself.

With your help, I figure I can quadruple
that.

Make a killing and then get out, right?
Why not?

Channing will never be able to touch us.

Until a couple of months ago, he had me
skimming almost a million a week from

the track receipts.

So if he catches us, all we got to do is
threaten to go to the authorities.

Exactly. I don't know, Al.

Channing's liable to come after us
himself.

Yeah, we'll be long gone by then.

How much did Channing manage to pocket?

Enough to keep the doors open here.

Until Mrs. Ranson walked in and bailed
them out.

She never suspected anything.

She's a pushover.

Channing knows it, I know it.

Bookkeeping isn't exactly a strong suit.

The skimming operation from beginning to
end has cost her a pretty penny.

Made you a small fortune.

I'm in.

I've been giving it a lot of thought,
Mrs. Channing, and I've decided you're

absolutely right about me.

I wouldn't make any kind of husband for
him, traveling cross -country all the

time. Wait a minute, Duane. Don't you
think you're just going overboard a

little? Let him finish. He's doing fine.

I can't be making hauls to Dallas and
Kansas City and expect to have a life

your daughter.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Well, that's why I've come to you.

I'm giving up cross -country work, and
I'm going to concentrate on getting more

local business. You do a lot of local
shipping.

Well... I'll be more than happy to help
you out any way that I can. Well, I

would be willing to hire you, but it
means that I'd have to fire someone

Now, you know I can't show favoritism.

Sorry to hear that.

Well, guess I'll just have to look
somewhere else.

You do that.

You know perfectly well you could have
found more work than you can even think

of handling.

It's the worst idea I've ever heard of.

Having him around here all the time. You
know, Emma might just marry him.

Get used to it, Angela.

Emma will marry him. And if you don't
learn to accept it, she's liable to

divorce you.

It's almost time for Hope's feeding.

She kept me up most of the night.

I can hardly wait to take her home.

So Colin and I can look after her.

Dr. Sanders, what are you doing here so
early?

Good morning.

Robin, it's Hope.

Your baby's heart. We have to operate
immediately.

What?

What

is

it, Charlie? We have a problem, Miss
Channing.

The room that Mr. Stavros was using? If
I hear that man's name mentioned in this

house once more, it'll be too soon.

What should I do with his belongings?

Nobody has called for them yet.

But I don't suppose it would be proper
to burn them.

Whatever you wish.

Well, go ahead and pack them. But take
your own time doing it. If he hasn't the

courage to come and pick up his
belongings, then he'll have to do

Yes, Miss Channing.

Gonna need to sign it.

At least it's two rounds.

We've got the best doctors.

They're going to do everything they can.

Melissa, it's not fair.

Stuff like this is always happening to
me.

No, I can't seem to do anything right. I
mean, I can't even have a healthy baby.

Robin, Robin, none of this is your
fault.

Maybe we should get her something to
calm it down.

You said it was her opposite.

Our baby.

She's going to be okay.

I promise.

You'll be okay.

You haven't answered my questions, Mrs.
Ransom.

What are you doing?

Remember when you were in school, Al,
and you'd go to class and the teacher

would say, Okay, kids, today we are
having a pop quiz.

Well, today, Al, we are having a pop
audit.

Mr. Channing know about this?

Of course not.

That was for all the fun.

I am going to have to call him.

Before you make any foolish phone calls,
Al, I think you should know what the

deal is going to be.

I don't know what deal you're talking
about, Mrs. Ranson.

I work for Mr. Channing.

He makes all my deals.

According to our figures, the only deal
Mr. Channing has made for you adds up to

about ten years in prison.

Now, we can do this the easy way or we
can do this the hard way, but either

we are going to do it.

You have my full attention.

There are, as I'm sure you know, certain
irregularities in the track's

bookkeeping. Skimming is the word my
attorney uses. All I might add being

under your signature.

So?

What's the rub?

That was all done before you bought in?

Most, Al.

Most. Not all.

My advisors are still finding
discrepancies.

Now, as I see it, we have two choices
here. Choice number one, I call up my

friend Sheriff Gilmore, show him what I
found, and let him take it from there.

That doesn't sound like a very good
choice.

I agree. Which brings us to choice
number two.

You sit right down there with me and Mr.
Waxman, and you tell us everything you

know.

and what is talking to your attorney
going to get me?

Well, I think you'll find out that I can
be a very pleasant person to do

business with.

Mr. Gilberty, I really love the open
road, but some folks feel a man can't be

long -haul trucker and a good husband at
the same time.

So... I sort of dreamed up this plan
that would give me the best of both

That's why you came up with the idea of
handling local shipping for the

merchants in the valley, huh? You got
it.

I figured I could nine to five it, take
the short runs to Frisco and Sacramento,

and still get home in time for dinner.

That's if folks like you will hire me.

Folks like me and Angela?

Well, now, Emma's mama, she doesn't want
to play favorites.

She told me I'd have to look elsewhere.

Dwayne, I'd sure like to help you out,
but right now I need a lot more than

local shipping.

I lost my wine distributor, and I tell
you, this late in the season, it's

practically impossible to come up with a
distribution deal I can live with.

Gotcha. Well, thanks for your time.

Probably wasn't such a great idea after
all.

I hate wearing ties anyway.

Dwayne, hold on a minute.

Have you ever considered...

going into the wine distribution
business.

Not much about trucks I don't know
about.

But all I know about wine is it comes in
three different colors and it makes you

do silly things if you drink too much of
it.

Now, look, other considerations aside,
distribution's about product and about

shipping. Now, between the two of us,
we've got those areas covered.

We sure do if you put it like that, Mr.
Giverty. Now, wait a minute. If we're

going to go into business together,
you've got to start calling me Chase.

Huh?

Hot diggity dog. All right, Chase.

Greg, Angela.

Glad you could make it. I want you to
beat my wife, Harriet.

Angela Channing, Gregory.

How do you do? How do you do?

Julian speaks so highly of you both. I'm
glad you came.

Well, we wouldn't miss the official
announcement of your intention to run

the governorship.

Now we've reached.

No, that wouldn't do at all.

Jordan isn't here?

No, I'm afraid not, Mrs. Roberts.

Well, she's such a busy girl.

I'd like you to meet some of our
campaign staff.

The press corps is ready, Mr. Roberts.
Be right in, George.

I've got a few notes here for my speech,
if you'd like to have a look.

Speech?

No, not today, sir.

I'm sorry my daughter couldn't make it.

It's always good to be surrounded by
your loved ones when you're up there on

podium.

Well, actually, Jordan and I have had a
bit of a falling out.

She seems upset that you and I are
planning a political career together.

Don't she, now?

Can't say I didn't warn you. She had a
mind of her own.

Enough of that. We have a campaign to
launch.

The press doesn't like to be kept
waiting.

Even though your friend lives here, she
has no right to be late for meals.

She's been so busy, she hasn't had time
to stop for meals.

I see.

Emma?

We're waiting for dinner.

Oh, sorry.

served now, Mrs. Channing? Yes. Thank
you, Channing.

I was just talking to Melissa to see how
the baby was doing. I don't want to

talk about illness at the table. Right.

Let's stick to acceptable subjects like
avarice, greed.

With your girlfriend's fading interest
in you, it's no excuse for you to be

rude. I saw you on the four o 'clock
news and you looked as handsome as

Redford as a candidate.

And sounded like Marcel Marceau, I'm
afraid.

Oh, now you're going to have time to
speak your mind once the campaign gets

the ground.

At least you didn't say anything that
gets you in trouble.

That's more than I can say about you.

You know, all in all, I think the press
conference was successful.

Good. Thank you.

I had some success of my own today.

What, Dwayne?

You didn't tell me.

Got my own business started and my first
customer at the same time.

Well, that's amazing.

Who would have thought it?

Is this the short -haul trucking concern
you mentioned?

Nope. It's better than that. I raised my
sights some.

I got myself a regular office job and a
partner, too.

As of today, folks, I'm in the wine
distribution business.

And who might your partner be?

Well, that's the best part. He's a
friend of yours.

Mr. Chase Jaberti.

Great!

Chase?

You're kidding.

I don't believe this.

How simple -minded can you be?

Mother, that is out of line.

I don't appreciate being called names,
ma 'am.

Duane, it's just that my grandmother and
Chase are kind of a war.

Don't know anything about that. Well,
you know now.

You tell Chase the deal is off.

I'll find something for you to do around
here.

Sorry, ma 'am, I can't do that.

Wouldn't be honorable.

Where I come from, a deal's a deal.

You don't mean to tell me you've already
signed a contract.

Nope. We did one better.

We shook hands.

Now, I'm going to say this very slowly
so that you won't misunderstand.

You tell Chase the deal is off or you
are not welcome at this house anymore.

Hunter!

That's not right.

That's fine with me, Mrs. Channing. It's
your house, and you got the right to

say who comes and goes.

But you got no right telling me how to
run my life.

Dwayne, wait.

Mother, do you wake up in the morning
and plan how you're going to destroy my

life, or do you just play it by ear?

I think we're ready for salads now.

Hope is resting quietly in ICU.

They feel the surgery was successful,
but they won't know anything definite

the next 72 hours. The hospital promised
to call if there was any change.

Any kids?

Robin is sedated. Call Melissa.

I'm trying to get some rest.

I tell you, I could sleep for a week.

Finished reading Sudden Friendship.

Some of your best writing.

And?

And I'm sure you can understand my
reaction to some of the content,

your mysterious lover.

Come on, you are not suggesting that
while I had amnesia, I had some kind of

torrid love affair with an unnamed
stranger.

I'm not suggesting it.

This is... And we're not simply talking
about a fling or a one -night

stand. You've written some of your best
prose.

Hell, you've written poetry describing
in detail the romance of a lifetime.

Oh, Jay, stop it.

Now, you know as well as I do that I
don't remember anything that happened

during that period of time. No, no
conversations, no sleepless nights, and

certainly no mysterious lover.

In a weird way, that almost makes it
worse.

Neither one of us knows who he is.

Every time I see you talking to a man, I
wonder if he's the one.

Well, I won't be wondering.

Honey, I have no feelings about that
time, if that makes any difference.

I'm not sure it does.

Jay!

Oh, I would tell you anything if there
was anything to tell!

Damn, Richard.

I thought I was being stood up.

Never. Hi.

Hi. We were running the last final cut
of the video and they decided to have a

meeting with me. You mean Turnstile
Records wants to do another video

Uh -huh.

God, congratulations.

That's not the good news.

The president of Turnstile Records wants
me to go on the road for six months.

Six months?

What's the matter? I thought you'd be
happy.

Happy? Happy about what?

The fact that we're going to be
separated for a half a year?

You could come with me, Lance. That's
what we've always been wanting to do.

I can't come with you, Apples. What am I
supposed to do with this station? Give

it back to Richard?

Or turn it over to my grandmother?

I mean, it's finally catching on.

I have a chance to build a real
powerhouse out of this thing.

Look, I'd only be in your way anyway,
just like with a rock video.

That's not true.

You can't make a choice like this,
Lance. You're not being fair.

Okay.

Look, we don't have to make a decision
about this.

Today, do we?

No.

I have a few days.

Okay. So let's think things through so
that we both don't make a decision that

we're going to regret later.

Okay?

I don't understand why you rushed me out
here, Chase. According to this

agriculture report, your quarantine's
been lifted.

Read closer, Sheriff.

Every sample of mealy moth has tested
out sterile.

I'm a cop, not a grape grower. You're
going to have to explain the

of sterile mealy moth. Okay.

Massive quantities of sterile moths
don't occur in nature. They only exist

controlled scientific environment.

Which means they had to have been
removed from a laboratory somewhere.

And planted in chaser's fields.

Someone tampered with my crops, but in a
way that wouldn't threaten their own

crops, and then arranged a surprise
inspection.

Which resulted in the quarantine.

And cost me a major distribution deal
and subjected me to a lawsuit.

Okay, Chase.

Let's do this by the numbers. We got the
when?

Yeah, Monday.

What and how would be the Mars?

Why? To disrupt my business.

Okay. Now the biggie.

Who?

Angela Channing.

What do you want?

Don't leave me standing in the hall,
Jordan. Invite me in.

What are you doing here?

I missed you at my press conference.

I was busy.

Your Mr. Reardon said you two had a
falling out. He's not my Mr. Reardon,

he? He also said you didn't exactly
embrace the idea of him and me working

together. It's none of my business what
he does and with whom.

I merely hoped he might have better
taste.

Is that a nice way to talk about your
father?

My father isn't a nice man.

Is that what you told Greg Reardon?

I didn't tell him anything about you.

I try not to even think about you.

Let's get something clear.

Whatever your feelings, whatever the
occasion, you just keep your opinion of

to yourself.

Do we understand each other?

You don't have to worry about what I
might say, Father.

You committed the perfect crime.

You will remember to lock the door when
you leave, won't you?

You expect me to sign this?

Yes, I do.

The chance she prefers having the
pastor's signature... I know what the

are, Chris. And sometimes I don't agree
with them. But in this case, the rules

may be saving you from your own
stupidity.

Listen, I'm fully prepared to forward my
letter of resignation without your

signature. Fine, so it shows you're not
only stupid, but you're stubborn as

well.

Don't you think you owe me an
explanation?

I believe I spelled things out in my
letter.

I no longer feel I'm physically or
spiritually fit to remain in the

That is euphemistic double talk, and you
know it. I want some facts, Chris, and

I want them now.

I've fallen in love.

Yes? Go on.

That's it.

I guess I don't have to ask who this
woman is.

No, I prefer you didn't. That's all
right. It's incidental anyway.

What I really want to ask you is, does
your love for this woman lessen in any

way your love of God?

It lessens my ability to serve God.

Chris, answer the question.

No, it doesn't lessen my love of God.

The same love of God which propelled you
into the priesthood in the first place.

Where are you going, Bob?

What I'm trying to do is prevent you
from taking the easy way out. There's

nothing easy about my giving up the
priesthood. Then don't give it up.

Take a leave of absence.

A lot of priests do that.

Then at least you'll have some time to
think about what you're doing. And you

can think about it calmly with some
perspective.

I don't know.

Exactly. You don't know.

That's my point.

There's a lot at stake here.

The woman, you, your vocation.

You'd better make damn certain you know
exactly what you're doing for everybody

concerned.

Huh.

How would I take a leave of absence?

I'll take care of it.

Agreed?

Agreed.

Well, for the time being, I think what
you should do is move back into Falcon

Crest.

After all, they are family.

And there'll be less questions.

I'll be praying for you.

May God have mercy on us.

You will note, Mrs. Ranson, that...

With a little bit of patience and skill,
even nature can be bent to one's own

will.

Maybe you can do that to some weird
-looking little tree, Richard, but not

me. Why?

I wouldn't even consider such a thing.

Then why were you raking off over 20
grand a day before taxes at the track?

Jordan. You remember her, don't you?

She explained the difference to me once.

Written, it's libel.

Spoken, it's slander.

Terry Ranson, I do believe you just
slandered me.

It's not slander if it's true.

Yes, sir.

Send Al up here. I want him to toss out
an unwanted guest.

Sorry, Mr. Channing, he's not in yet,
and there's no answer at his apartment.

He's probably halfway to Jamaica by now.
Or Mexico.

Or Tahiti.

Or any other place you can't get to him.
Who are you, his travel agent? What do

you know about Anaheim? Everything.

In fact, here's a photocopy of what I
know.

My attorney, of course, has a signed
original.

What is this I'm supposed to be reading?

A sworn deposition outlining a full
-scale skimming operation naming you as

brainchild in principal benefact.

Hearsay, third party.

Not worth my time.

I have the books and ledgers supporting
it.

What do you intend to do with that?

You know, Richard, I asked myself the
same thing.

Look at it from my point of view.

You used Joe McCarthy to blackmail me.

You forced me into telling you my
harvest.

You destroyed my relationship to Greg
Reardon, and now to top it off, you've

stolen money that was rightfully mine.

As far as I can see, there's only one
thing left for you to do.

Ah, and what might that be?

Marry me.

Next on Falcon Crest.

So you're pretty sure I'm going to go
through with this senseless proposal,

I want you for a husband. No woman in
her right mind wants me for a husband. I

do. The record company is sending me on
a worldwide tour.

And Blanche is coming with me. Perhaps
you and Apollonia would like to extend

your trip.

Indefinitely. What is so terribly wrong
with your father?

There are some secrets that...

Or just better left with a family.
