God, you're all right. I'm scared to think.

Greg, what's the matter? Why wouldn't I be all right? I mean, I didn't even tell

you half of what I've been imagining.

Jeez, Maggie.

I didn't expect to see you here.

I thought the hijacking put you out of business.

I'm sure you did.

I'd like you to welcome my new partner, Richard Channing.

Aloha, Angela.

Hank, what are you doing here?

I'm going to get you out of here somehow.

Thank God you're all right. I have been worried sick.

Of course I'm all right.

Mr. Tappas, what are you doing here? Your friend here wanted me to open your

apartment.

I guess she won't be needing me now.

No, no, we won't.

And I'm sorry for all the trouble.

Greg, what's the matter? Why wouldn't I be all right?

Oh, your mood, your state of mind.

I mean, I don't even tell you half of what I've been imagining.

Excuse the mess. I was just cleaning out a closet.

Busy working, so it keeps me from thinking about other things.

Jordan, where have you been? I mean, I've been up half the night phoning you.

mean, that's why I got your building manager out of his bed.

I was right here.

I remember I was having some trouble trying to sleep. I suppose I took

to help me.

I must have slept right through the phone.

And I guess I just overreacted.

Anyway, I'm glad you're okay.

Okay enough to go back to work.

Richard's expecting me today.

So soon?

Greg, Richard knows all about my father. Every sordid little detail.

Terrific. So he's now backmailing you back to work?

No, no, not exactly.

I just didn't want to give him any reason to go public with what he knows

either.

Okay, well, you do what you want to do, but please, just do me one favor.

Take it easy.

I promise.

And if the going gets tough, just think about it.

Greg.

Thanks for stopping by.

I need you very much right now.

I've been looking all over for you.

What are you doing in here?

What does it look like I'm doing?

If I don't look good, you don't look good. I wish you was concerned about

as you are about your body.

This redecorating you're doing in the turf club is costing a small fortune.

A girl's got to keep herself busy.

I'm not exactly the housewife type, in case you haven't noticed.

I got a lot more than that to offer.

Time to get the showers.

If you want to come along, I'll be happy to show you what I mean.

I'll use my imagination.

You're lost.

Natural nine of a six.

Shake,

monsieur?

What?

Place your bets.

Card.

Thank eight, bang, wins.

And that goes to eight of them.

Gosh, it's great to be awake for that craziness at home, isn't it?

How long has the business we've been out of town been? At least a million years.

Mr. Giaverdi, the dinner reservations for you and Mrs. Giaverdi are confirmed

for 9 o 'clock. Thank you very much.

You know, honey, we've got to do this every million years, at least. Well,

whether we need it or not.

Only next time, let's pick an island she can't find.

I am positive I asked the symposium to send us a limousine to the airport.

Oh, taking a cab with no bother. After winning this competition six years in a

row, I deserve to be treated properly.

At least the hotel is nice.

Oh, there are too many tourists. Oh, Mother, you are always so sour. Now, I

just the thing to change you rude.

And then... Angela.

Hi. Hi.

Wow. Jeez, Maggie.

I didn't expect to see you here.

But I am flattered that you travel all this way to watch me win again.

Oh, I wouldn't be too flattered, Angela.

Chase is competing.

With what?

I thought the hijacking put you out of business.

I'm sure you did.

But you see, I had a few cases of my private stock, and I thought the wine

deserved to be judged along with the best.

Well, I hope you take better care of this batch than you did your shipment.

As a matter of fact, I've arranged special security.

And here he is now.

Hi. Oh, Dwight.

The wine's locked up. Nice to meet you. The hotel's safe, Chase.

You knew he was going to be here all along, didn't you?

Mother, you would be surprised at the things I know.

I'm surprised at the things you don't know.

Players nine.

Player wins nine of a seven.

You bet.

It seems you have turned our fortunes around, monsieur.

Dear more, Tony, dear more.

Monsieur?

Let it ride.

Cards.

Just one minute.

Would you flip the cards for luck?

Oh, come on, they won't bite you.

It's okay.

You see, you are good luck.

Natural nine.

Bank.

Seven. Players win natural nine over seven.

Bet your bets.

Monsieur?

We'll let her ride one more time.

Is there a problem?

My apologies, monsieur, but your bet is over limit.

So raise the limit.

No, monsieur, you must reduce your bet.

Well, certainly you can make an exception.

My losses alone here should more than cover this gentleman's wager.

I'm very sorry, monsieur, but it's the house rule.

This is ridiculous.

Well, look, I'm sorry, but my rule is if the house cannot cover my bet, I must

cash in my chips. I'm very sorry.

Now, this is a turd.

You're sure I can't buy you a drink?

Thank you, now.

It isn't good for my baby.

Phil, is it okay if I call you Phil?

I prefer Philippe. Thank you.

Very good.

Philippe, I didn't come all the way to Monte Carlo to hassle over house limits.

I get enough of that in Las Vegas.

What I did come for is a man's game.

Well, except for private games, I'm afraid this casino is the best Monte

has to offer.

Private game?

How do I find a private game?

It's not terribly difficult.

Naturally, you must have the money.

I always have the money. It's the action that I'm looking for.

Well then, Mr. DeMoore.

Please, call me Tony.

Tony.

Occasionally, I hold such a game.

Philippe. No, Sophia, let the man finish his thought.

It's all right, yeah.

You must excuse Sophia.

She thinks I already take too many gambles.

I give you my word.

Philippe and I are only talking about a friendly game.

Well, my chateau is just outside Monaco, and my car will pick you up first thing

in the morning.

Say 11?

Sounds perfect. I'll be waiting right here.

Thank you.

Have a nice evening.

Give me a cup of hot coffee, a telex form, and a pen.

Robin?

Just put Hope down for a nap.

Colin, I need to speak with you.

What about?

Hope's custody hearing is coming up soon, and we just don't want things to

any more complicated than they already are.

I can't help.

Greg said not to discuss the case with you.

I'm sure Reardon's giving you a lot of great advice.

All we're trying to do is avoid an ugly court battle.

The only way you can do that is to give up.

We were kind of hoping to convince you to do the same thing.

Hope belongs to me, not you.

You see, that isn't exactly true.

I just got the results of my paternity test.

I'm Hope's father.

You knew it, I knew it, and the test proves it.

You'll never take Hope away from me.

I mean, if I'd known how accurate these paternity tests are, I never would have

lied about Cole not being Hope's father to begin with.

Well, you lost your gambit, Robin, not the case. Now, trust me, you don't have

to purge yourself to win. All you have to do is prove that you're a self

-supporting parent.

Oh, great.

I'm a college dropout. I've never had a decent job in my life.

The judge is going to take one look at me and laugh out loud.

No, just calm down.

And have a look.

Right there.

What's this?

A list of people who owe me a favor.

People in need of a good file clerk, receptionist, mother's helper. They're

sitting waiting for your call to set up a job interview.

Really? Yeah, really.

And the top two companies on the list even have their own daycare center, and

the last name is a landlord friend of mine with a small, inexpensive apartment

in San Francisco.

Why are you doing all this for me?

Because we are going to win this case.

Thanks for the very first time. I really believe that.

Good. Look, I have to go into San Francisco, so why don't you get yourself

together and I'll give you a lift.

But I still don't understand exactly what provoked Chase into asking... I'm

asking you to go into business with him in the first place.

Survival, my dear. The hijacking of his wine was the final straw. He had to do

something to protect himself against Angela. I am that something. With me as

partner, he's got a definite edge. And you don't mind providing that service?

Certainly not. I'll watch Chase's flank, and he'll give me credibility in the

wine business.

And Angela's days as the great queen are numbered.

Oh, Richard, this is too easy. I'm sure Angela is off plotting some

counterattack right now. She doesn't have any idea what's going on.

I can't wait. We've got the element of surprise on our side.

And I'd like to keep it that way.

If you have any doubt about my ability to keep a confidence, why did you ask me

back? I just want to make sure there's no pillow talk between you and your

friend Reardon.

Richard, Greg Reardon is my friend.

Maybe my best friend, but there is no pillow talk going on between us. And if

there were, how dare you impugn my professional ability to determine...

now, oh, oh.

You're right. It was uncalled for.

I trust you.

Oh, thanks.

You're welcome.

And I need you. I just want to make sure that we are both on the same side of

the fence.

I'm glad you've come back.

Yeah.

Let me ask

you one thing.

Why all this security?

Oh, but certainly you must realize how unstable the world is these days.

Of course.

I feel better already.

Up to you.

Philippe. This is almost scary.

This house reminds me of my father's house.

Perhaps not quite as big, though.

We tried to make do.

Your room is this way.

Oh, we keep that part of the house closed this time of year.

Good idea.

Cuts hitting costs, huh?

I wish you would stop being so stubborn.

Please sign this paper.

Then we can sit down and have a nice lunch.

And if I continue refusing to sign your power of attorney, what will you and

Philippe do to me then?

Exactly as we've done so far.

Keep you here, away from your friends and business.

Until you realize that we're only trying to do what's best for you.

Like kidnapping me for my own wedding was best for me?

Or keeping me locked up in my own house like a common criminal?

Perhaps your pregnancy by a man I despise was for my best. And let's not

you're marrying behind my back.

Certainly my death will be for my best, too.

No, stop that!

Why not be honest with each other, my Sophia?

You think I don't know that if I were to try to leave here, I'd be shot?

Listen to yourself, Father.

Can't you see how addled you've become?

Philippe has poisoned your mind. He's turned you against me.

No, he hasn't.

I love you.

And this is how you show your love?

Philippe and I had no other choice but to save you from yourself.

If that's what Philippe claims, he's a liar.

If it's what you believe, you're a fool.

Now, get out of here and leave me alone.

Making, I guess, you all comfortable. How is your father today?

The same.

Well, this can't continue much longer, Sophia.

The company is beginning to flounder.

Look, I can only do... so much behind the scenes, and he's a visible leader.

He must find those papers giving me control.

I'm doing my best.

Well, either you persuade him to surrender control, or I will.

Nervous? Nervous? Me? What would make you think that?

Quivering hands? A cold sweat? Honey, honey, honey, you don't have to put

yourself through this, you know. Your shipment was hijacked. You have a

excuse not to compete.

I'm a glutton for punishment. I don't believe that.

I want to win this.

That I believe.

Charlie, it's me.

Yes, Miss Charlie.

What can I do for you?

Have you heard anything from Lance?

Telex arrived early this morning.

Lance has been invited to spend a weekend with a man named Philippe

He says if you don't hear from him in a few days, to send out the cavalry.

Thank you, Charlie.

Great vodka.

It's 2 ,000 to you, Tony.

All right.

Be right there.

Just hold your horses.

I've had such bad luck. I hope this helps a little bit.

2 ,000, huh?

Okay.

That's your bet.

And I'll raise you my last.

$2 ,000, Philippe.

Call.

I'm afraid this time I may have got you.

I got a full house.

Queen's over.

I also have a full house.

But I'm afraid my house... It's more full than yours. I don't know.

Yeah.

How many times are you going to beat me in one night?

Salute.

I feel a little funny.

You please see Mr. DeMar to the room.

Hans.

How you doing, Peter?

I've never been so glad to see anybody in all my life.

What are you doing here?

Well, that's funny. I was going to ask you the same question.

I'm gonna get you out of here somehow.

Look out for yourself, my boy.

Excuse me a minute.

Tony, there you are.

What's wrong?

I was very concerned about you.

Oh, thank you, Philippe.

I honestly haven't been feeling that well. I think it must be the altitude.

I

don't

get it.

We've got Robin's signed contract.

We've got a paternity test that proves I'm the father. Why can't we settle this

thing immediately?

Surrogate mothers haven't been around that long, son.

But already there's a whole bunch of case law. These women seem to breach

contracts all the time, and the courts let them get away with it.

You feel that's why Greg won't settle this out of court?

I wouldn't if I were him.

Robin, this is a private meeting.

Then we're... I won't be bothering you much longer.

Does that mean you've changed your mind?

It means I'll be moving into a place of my own by the end of the month. And I'm

taking Hope with me.

You can't do that.

Really? Well, watch me.

If you've got a problem with that, you can speak to my attorney.

Can we stop her?

Afraid not soon.

I want this winery to be a showcase of the valley.

This is a cozy thing.

Oh, my goodness, up and around before noon. Are you all right? I'm in a state

shock. I just came by to see if you can be home for dinner this evening, or am I

dining alone as you are?

Don't wait up for me.

May I ask where you're going, or is that being a nosy wife?

I'm not nosy at all.

I'm going away.

Sounds mysterious.

Let me just throw a few things in a bag, and I'll be with you in five minutes.

You're not going.

This is business, not pleasure.

Are you referring to your trip or our marriage? Both.

Have those figures ready for me when I return.

Yes, both.

Well, it certainly is nice to see that some things haven't changed in my

absence. I don't know how we ever managed without you. Maybe I should

you to go away again.

This time for good.

Unfortunately, Terry, I work for Richard, not for you.

We'll see how long that lasts.

Good morning, Tony.

I've had better.

Honestly, I must have really tied one on last night. I hope I didn't miss

anything exciting.

Not terribly, no.

Well, I feel a little embarrassed.

I seem to have run short of cash.

I was wondering if your driver may run me into town.

Oh, I'm sorry, Tony. He just left.

The Mercedes was acting up, so he took the other car to get parts.

I see.

Well, then I could use your phone. Surely the bank could send some money up

here. Don't be silly.

I know you can cover your losses.

Besides, you should think positive.

Perhaps tonight you'll win.

Yes, let's hope so.

Maya, would you please see to Mr. Lamour's room while he enjoys his

What's up?

The moment of truth is upon us.

Tomorrow night, of course, we'll be making our formal presentations at our

awards banquet.

But tonight, according to tradition, we'll all learn which wines are the

in the land.

And now, for best Cabernet Sauvignon, Winslow

Winery.

He's in the other direction.

Right.

Aloha.

for our final envelope.

Best Chardonnay. And this category was particularly challenging having the

greatest number of competitors both from Europe and the United States.

And this year's winner is first

time entrant Chase Gioberti. Gioberti Wineries with his Gioberti Chardonnay

Reserve. Congratulations.

much. This is truly an honor.

I owe a great deal to my wife Maggie and to my son Cole for their unfailing

support and their contributions.

I'd also like to acknowledge at this time Angela Channing, who is

responsible more than any other individual for this success.

Her old -fashioned methods have provided me with the impetus to

develop new, more daring, and apparently very successful processes for

winemaking.

I'd also like to take a moment, if you don't mind, on this auspicious occasion,

to publicly announce the formation of an important new

winemaking enterprise.

I'd like you to welcome my new partner, Richard Channing.

We'll be back next year.

I'm real proud to be in business with you, Chase.

Thank you, Duane. Yes, sir. I'm beginning to enjoy this myself. You

seen Angela's face when you called her old -fashioned. It looked like she just

found a fly in her suit. Then when you announced our partnership.

Rich, that's okay, Maggie.

Mother can use a dose of humility every once in a while.

Congratulations, Chase.

Seems like your trip wasn't a waste after all.

Well, it surprised both of us, I'm sure.

It's too bad you don't have any Chardonnay to sell.

Makes tonight a rather hollow victory, doesn't it? Oh, I don't know, Angela.

sure the prestige of winning will carry over to our next bottling. If there is a

next bottling, which I don't think you'll have the time for.

Is that supposed to be some kind of a threat?

No, it's just an observation.

With Richard on your team, you'll be looking over your shoulder. You won't

time for anything else.

Well, divide and conquer is not going to work this time, Angela.

We'll see.

Oh. Don't you just hate a sore loser?

Melissa, you're not making any sense. You see, your grapes are the single most

important ingredient in our wine.

Why shouldn't we have a long -term agreement?

Because I don't like doing business with bitch if that's why.

Now, can we talk about this in the morning, okay? It is morning, damn it.

And we'll talk about it right now.

Look.

You and your father want to be buddy -buddy with Richard, that's fine, that's

your business, but it doesn't have to include me.

This is so typical of you.

We're on the verge of something really great, and you're going to let a stupid,

petty grudge mess things up.

You try spending six weeks in jail and tell me how petty it is, and Richard had

as much to do with it as anybody.

Still blaming others for your sins, huh?

Oh, St.

Cole! So quick to judge!

I'm so quick to jump in the sack with Robin as soon as my back was turned.

arguing about your harvest, not about your... I don't care what we're talking

about!

That's great. That's really great.

See what you've done?

Me? Why does it always have to be me?

It's okay.

Mommy and Daddy didn't mean to talk so loud.

Excuse me. Can I find a Richard Channing around here?

Occasionally, when he's in town. I'm Mrs. Channing. What can I do for you?

Name's Harmon.

I'm a night man down at Harry's Hideaway. It's a motel off Fremont.

know it.

Not personally, should I?

I guess not.

Anyway, someone left this in one of the rooms last night.

But kind of important. Something about a winery or something.

Just thought I'd drop it off on the way home.

Are you saying my husband was in your motel last night?

It's not my motel, ma 'am. I'm just a working stiff.

Don't know who left it there exactly.

The room was rented to a woman.

Name on a register was Monica Smith.

What exactly did this woman look like?

Good -looking blonde gal.

Put together, you know. Sort of like you.

A little shorter, maybe, but nice lines.

Real classy, too.

I got an eye for class.

Thanks, lady.

Where is everybody?

Am I early?

Not too early at all, Tony.

Conflict might be more fun tonight.

Just the two of us.

Sure, sounds interesting.

Where's Sophia?

I haven't seen her much.

Oh, she has to be excused.

Is that a problem?

No, not for me.

Okay, my friend.

First aid's deals.

Call.

Hmm. Not bad.

However, doing pretty good this evening.

$10 ,000.

And another $5 ,000.

Very good. That's your $5 ,000.

I have a strike.

Three to the seventh.

That's a pretty good hand, Philippe.

I think I have a better hand.

I have five hearts.

Sorry.

It was a good hand, my friend.

So clumsy.

Must be because I'm winning, huh?

I'll go change real quick.

You deal the next hand.

For heaven's sakes.

Monsieur, I was feeling a little bit ill. Could you point me to the nearest

bathroom? Down there, Monsieur.

Right.

Not bad.

For an old man, I still have my moments.

Look, I know you can still pack a punch. How are you at climbing fences?

Well, we're about to find out.

Hold it!

Get me down from there!

How rude of you to leave without saying goodbye.

Mr. Lenz comes in it.

Next on Falcon Crest.

Philippe is a dangerous, desperate, amoral man.

Rather than see one penny of the starburst fortune slip through his

fingers, he'll kill us.

Perhaps he'll hear from Lance today.

He must know how concerned you are for his safety. I'm sorry I ever let him go

off on that stupid rescue mission.

What I signed is a death warrant for Lance and me.

No, you're wrong.

Lance and I are going to die.
