Your privileges at Falcon Crest are suspended until you can prove to me that

you're just as dedicated to this vineyard as I am.

I planned on leaving all of this to Lance, but Lance has disappointed me,

I've been watching you.

Where have you been?

I've been out proving my dedication to Falcon Crest.

I've come here to find out what you want from my son.

I want an heir.

I want my son owned by anyone.

As of this morning, yes.

Thank you.

You wanted to see me?

I'm surprised you're up. It isn't noon yet.

You know, I'm very disappointed in you, Lance.

Who aren't you disappointed in?

Do you know what this is?

It's my bank statement.

How can you spend such an exorbitant amount of money in a single month?

Inflation. Now, don't be smug with me.

You stay out until all hours of the night. You take every opportunity to go

San Francisco.

And you neglect your duties here.

I'll cut down on my living expenses if that would please you.

That won't be necessary. I've canceled your checking account as of this

And your privileges at Falcon Crest are suspended until you can prove to me that

you're just as dedicated to this vineyard as I am.

I thought we were just supposed to be friends.

Let's not complicate things.

Wait a second.

What's so complicated about two people who are starting to like each other?

How long do you expect me to pretend that we're just friends?

A good friendship can be very nice.

Please give it a try.

Thank you.

I'll give it a try.

If I can see you tomorrow.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night.

Vintage.

A year in which a wine is fermented. That's an easy one.

You too bad this long?

Most of the night.

Dad's daydreaming again, pretending we've got our own winery. We're going to

have our own winery someday.

We've got a lot to learn.

Then you better get learning.

Okay. Racking.

Racking. The process by which wine is filtered.

Need any help?

Nah, just a leaky faucet. Oh, come on, let me help you. No, no, no, no, no, no,

no. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay.

Methode Champenois. Methode Champenois.

Uh, uh, uh... You have to ask me that one?

I think someone blew up the pump house.

I'll call the sheriff.

What the hell?

Cole, get off of me. Who goes down there? I've been all the time when your

father was alive.

Grandmother. Well, where have you been?

I've been out proving my dedication to Falcon Crest. That explosion you heard

was Chase's pump house.

You expect me to say well done?

I was hoping you would.

You think you've redeemed yourself with me, is that it?

Grandmother, if my guess is right, Chase will sell his vineyard now. You'll be

able to name your own price.

Isn't that what you want?

How dare you make a decision without consulting me?

I thought you wanted his vineyard.

Wanted it and still want it. But I will get it in my own time and my own way

without damaging my reputation.

Or risking lives. I covered my tracks.

If Turk Tobias finds out you're involved in this, don't come running to me.

Well, what do you make of this, Sheriff?

Well, I'll tell you what it reminds me of. The old water rights wars that used

to take place around here when I was growing up. No, that was 30 years ago.

about tonight?

Well, there was some explosives stolen from the Todson Construction Company

afternoon. I think they just may be tied into that.

I want a full investigation.

I'll be here as soon as the sun comes up. Let me know whatever you find out,

will you, Sheriff?

All right, let me check on a few things. I'll see you first thing in the

morning.

That's it.

We make a good team.

So do you think it'll work again?

Well, there's not much holding it together, but I think it'll pump water.

I know, I know. Well, then why do you keep pulling away?

I don't mean to.

I guess I'm just a little afraid.

Afraid? Afraid of what?

Well, because I work for your father.

Because we come from such different backgrounds, is that it?

You know me better than that.

Well, then what is it?

I was in love once before.

And I got really hurt.

I don't want to go through that again.

Vicki, I'd never ask you to.

I just need a little more time.

Please?

You take as much time as you want.

And I think you're worth waiting for.

Are you going to go to the hideaway tonight?

Uh, well, I was going to go with Cole.

You don't mind if he comes, do you?

As long as he doesn't act like a chaperone, okay?

I mean, will you talk to him?

Okay.

Want to go off a ride, cousin?

Uh, not right now.

Hey, Victoria.

Now, you aren't doing the family reputation any good by having an

special with a picker.

I think every time I walk into this house, I get like a chill.

It's like crossing the border. Into the hall of the queen of the mountain.

Well, it's creepy.

Well, my dear, have no fear.

I'm carrying a concealed weapon.

Well, that's a comfort.

You look lovely. Thank you. So do you.

Farming seems to agree with you, Jay. Well, thank you. I think it's tightening

me up a little bit.

What are we celebrating this evening?

Oh, we're introducing a new wine that Julia developed.

Ah. One of the wine snobs said a few moments ago it hasn't any character, but

it's daring.

Julia? Oh,

I understand you had some trouble over at your place last night. Someone tried

to blow up our irrigation system.

Yeah, the sheriff's looking into it. The valley's changed.

The wrong people are coming in.

On Grandfather's Day, he would have hired vigilantes and cut them off at the

county line.

Things aren't like they were on Grandfather's Day. From what I've heard,

judge, jury, and executioner all rolled into one.

Well, not to worry. Mother's here.

Shall we have some food, Charlie?

The buffet is open, ladies and gentlemen.

Keep your hands on my cousin, picker.

You know, this is a small gossipy little town.

You don't have to tell me. I found that out for myself.

I didn't ask to know this, but it's come to my attention that you're broke.

Well, I have enough to pay my picking crew, and I've got a contract for every

ton I can deliver.

Really?

Which winery?

It's a foreign -owned company. They're rather secretive, but reliable.

I still think you're playing too close to the margin.

All I have to do is bring in this harvest, and I am... Good for another

Well, you don't know grape farming.

You may have one good year, but then the next year the early frost comes in, and

you're wiped out.

I'm offering you a chance to get out while you're still ahead.

I take all the risks, and you take all the money.

Angela, the money is important.

But there's more to it than that.

I've grown to love this valley.

All right, I'll make you a standing offer.

If you ever decide to sell, I'll top any offer.

Well, that's very generous of you.

I think it is.

I need to speak to Mr. Gioverti.

Excuse me, Angela.

Gioverti?

Yes?

There's been a fight at the hideaway.

Your kids are in jail and Mario's been hurt.

We need your help.

Did they say when Mario would be well enough to come home again? In a day or

two. Mario's going to be fine. I just want to know how you two got mixed up in

this. They just rounded up anybody that happened to be in there. And they took

us all in.

I thought we'd finished with all this when we left the East. We were just

for a good time. I don't know what got into Lance.

All I know is you two end up in jail and Mario's in a hospital bed.

I don't want you hanging out at the hideaway anymore.

And I certainly don't want you hanging out with Lance Compson. No way. He's in

trouble with everybody in town and I don't want any part of him.

handle this any way you want, Mrs. Channing.

It isn't just mischief this time, is it? No, ma 'am. There were too many people

who saw what happened.

That's exactly what I've warned him about all along.

It'll be all over the valley, if it isn't already.

Do you have any idea where Lance is?

His bed hasn't been slept in. His car is not in the garage.

Mother, when he gets home, I want to talk to him.

Julia, you've had too much to drink. Why don't you go to bed?

He's my son.

He's behaving more like his father's son.

If I find him, I'm going to have to book him.

Charlie will show you out, Turk.

All right. Good night.

Carried Lance into the vineyards before he could walk, just like my father did

with me.

Spent every waking hour coaching and teaching and grooming him to treasure

we have here.

He's just going to have to be taught a lesson.

I want you to find him and bring him to me.

Turner, is that you?

Emma?

Where you been, Turner?

Lance.

I thought you were Turner Bates.

Emma, what are you doing down here?

I... I was just thinking about Turner Bates.

One night, I promised to meet him here.

And then...

At the last minute, I got cold feet and I wouldn't let him in.

Now I'm sorry.

You shouldn't be here, Emma.

I know.

Mother's going to be extremely displeased when she finds out I left the

She doesn't have to find out, Emma.

We can make a little bargain.

Oh, Mother says I'm very unreliable.

She says that, um...

My mind isn't clear, so if I made a bargain with you, I probably wouldn't be

able to keep it. No, Emma, we'll make a bargain, and we'll both keep it.

Now, I promise I won't tell Grandmother that you sneaked out tonight.

What do I have to do in return?

Just tell me how Uncle Jason died.

He got drunk. He drove off the road and burned to death.

That's not the truth, Emma.

That's what Grandmother says, but I don't believe her.

He drove off the road and burned to death.

I want the truth, Emma.

You're not nice.

I don't know whether it's Prince Charming or Sir Galahad that helps a

distress. You sure picked a great spot to get stranded in. I'm sorry I forgot a

picnic. Let's see what we got here.

It's a good thing you didn't try to open this.

You could have really burnt yourself.

Do you suppose it's the water pump that broke?

I don't know. Let's see.

It broke

a fan valve.

Say, Cole.

Yeah?

Why aren't you in college?

I'm not ready for it yet.

Maybe someday.

When the time comes, let me know, and I'll introduce you to the right people

the university.

The enology department knows me very well.

I always wanted to be an archaeologist, not a winemaker.

I remember when your father wanted to be an airline pilot.

But the vineyards are our life's blood.

And we all come back to them sooner or later.

You know, I've got to admit, working in the vineyards has been pretty

interesting.

at the yard.

How are you feeling?

I hurt.

I'll never forgive Lance.

Vicki, I'm the one that got stabbed.

And I'm the one that's been worried sick.

Excuse me.

I didn't know you had company. I'll wait outside. I was just leaving Mrs. Nunez.

Hurry and get well.

Okay, I'll see you there.

My beautiful mother, trying to look angry.

Trying not to look angry.

Mom, look, it wasn't my fault.

I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

You should be going to college next year if the scholarship comes through.

Nobody in the family ever had such doors open to him.

You've got to watch your step.

If you don't stay away from Victoria, those doors could close.

Mother, times are changing.

We hope.

But for now, they're still the same.

Where have you been?

Why didn't you let me know where you were?

I need some money. I want to get away for a while.

The banks are closed.

You'll have the money in the morning.

You want me to go?

Nothing would make me happier than to see you as far away from your

as you can get.

It's strange you should feel that way, since it was you that turned me over to

her when I was a baby.

Is that what you think?

That I just turned you over to her?

Yeah.

I've always had the impression that I was given away.

Does the fact that I was born so soon after the wedding have anything to do

that?

I was pregnant and I wasn't married.

In those days, being pregnant and unmarried was a disgrace to the whole

And so my mother punished me by taking away the only two things I ever felt

mine.

Twenty -three years ago, she took you.

And then 12 years ago, she made life so hard for my husband that he left, too.

Why didn't you go with him?

Because he never asked me.

You mentioned some cash.

You'll have your money in the morning.

But in the meantime, I don't want you to see your grandmother. You can sleep

here in the winery.

Lance, I remember when you were a little boy, you used to be afraid to play in

the winery.

Remember that camping trip the three of us took up Russian River?

You and Father and I?

We camped out on some riverbank and laughed and sang some old song together.

It was about the last time I can remember feeling anything.

¿Qué dices?

50 la tonelada.

Está bien.

What's going on? What's he saying?

It's going to cost you $50 a ton to pick your grapes.

It's a little high, but I don't think we can do any better.

Well, if we have to pay, we pay it.

Tell him we start picking in three days.

I will be there, señor.

Gracias.

Salud. Salud. Salud.

Yeah, try that.

What is it?

That is history, Cole.

It was bottled by your great -great -grandfather.

He was an Italian immigrant who came to America a little bit late for the gold

rush. But at least he had the sense to bring some of the old family vines.

That was gold to Joseph.

He was married to a Swede.

She was so stubborn.

It was a strange combination.

A passionate Italian and a mystical Swede.

They produced strange people.

Us.

Their first child was Jasper. He was my father.

Very strong man.

They say he killed two men in San Francisco over a gambling dispute.

And about that time, he fell in love with my mother.

And then I came along.

And then there was my brother Jason, your grandfather.

And his 50 acres went to your father when Jason died.

And the rest of Falcon Crest is mine.

Now, Cole, this is our tasting room.

And these are the portraits of your ancestors who dedicated their lives to

building Falcon Crest.

So you see, it isn't just a vineyard. It's a kingdom.

I'd planned on leaving all of this to Lance.

But Lance has disappointed me.

And I've been watching you.

You know, Cole, I want you to know that I'm watching you very carefully.

Well, I'll try not to disappoint you.

I want you to come to see me more often, Cole.

I want you to feel at home here.

Thank you.

I almost found myself liking her. You know, really getting to know her.

I'd find those ideas contradictory myself.

Sometime next week we're going down to the university to see about getting me

some classes on grape growing and winemaking.

Whatever happened to archaeology?

I guess I'll always be interested in it. But it's like Angela was saying.

Whoever made any money digging up old bones.

Wait a minute. Since when did you and Angela become such great friends?

I really think she likes me.

I mean, she even said some things that kind of indicated she's thinking about

leaving Falcon Crest to me when she dies.

You inherit Falcon Crest?

Give me a break. Just what exactly did Angie say to you?

That she's really disappointed in Lance and she's looking for someone to take

his place.

I mean, she didn't say it in so many words, but I got the picture.

I could have a little talk with Angela.

Yes, I think you better.

And you better keep your distance from her until we find out what this is all

about. I don't know what the problem is.

I don't either, but I certainly intend to find out.

What am I, some little baby that needs to be protected from the big bad wolf?

Not at all. I just don't want to see anybody put a leash around your neck.

Good

afternoon,

Gus. Mrs. Channing?

Alicia.

How is Mario?

He's mending.

With an unfortunate thing.

I was especially sorry that it happened to Mario. He's such a dependable young

man. We do agree, Mrs. Channing.

Mario is a good boy. He's honest and he's a hard worker.

He didn't start the fight.

I know.

Well, the Nunes families have always been so closely tied to the Gioberti

families. And I'm sure that Mario wouldn't do anything to jeopardize

I really came to tell you that I think Lance acted badly.

And I feel obligated to you.

It was his doing, not yours.

Being on the board of trustees at the university, I'm aware that the Channing

scholarship hasn't been filled this year.

So if you like, I could explore the possibility of Mario receiving it.

Mario's education is more important to Alicia and I than anything.

Oh, as it should be.

But I do think it's rather silly for him to come all the way back here to

testify at a trial when he should be studying.

I think it would be to everyone's interest, Mrs. Channing.

If we drop the charges against Lance.

Alicia, would you send my very best regards to Mario?

Of course.

Gus?

Mrs. Channing?

I was coming to see you, Grandmother. I've saved you the trouble.

Grandmother, I can explain everything.

You are becoming exceedingly irresponsible.

What am I going to do with you?

I know you're angry with me about what happened at the hideaway, and I'm sorry.

I don't blame you.

Why don't we let things cool down a bit? I'll go to Europe. That won't be

necessary. The charges are going to be dropped by morning.

Did it ever occur to you that I could find an heir other than you?

Yes, Grandmother.

I heard the speech you made to Cole.

I was here.

Did you hear it well?

I think so.

Well, I want you to go to your room and stay there.

And when I want you, I'll send for you. Is that understood?

Yes, Grandmother.

Charlie, what am I going to do with him?

He'll come around.

My father thought of Falcon Crest as a kingdom.

And I promised to keep it that way.

You've done a good job.

Yes, I have.

Sometimes I worry about the future.

I can't believe there's anything you haven't made provision for, including

future.

People don't come up to our expectations sometimes.

And Lance has failed to meet mine.

Maybe that's the problem.

You haven't let him find his own way.

Angela, I've come here to find out what you want from my son.

I want an heir.

Someone who's consumed with this land and everything it produces.

You don't want an heir.

You want a little competition to put Lance back into shape. Oh, Lance is out

this.

If he is, I'm sure it's only temporary.

This is a wonderful opportunity for Cole.

I'm sorry, but no.

You'd own him.

I don't want my son owned by anyone.

I could make him a very rich man.

Angela, you're not going to play games with Cole's life. I'll see to that.

The wine.

That's a very good reach.

Thank you.

This is not a game, Chase.

Cole is an adult.

So we'll let him make up his own mind.

Here's your money. See if you can make it last a couple of weeks.

Every once in a while you manage to come through for me. Thank you.

So have you decided where you're going to be?

Well, I'm postponing Europe for a while. Well, I want you to get as far away

from Falcon Crest as you can.

Well, I can't leave right now. I have some unfinished business to take care

Well, you can't stay here. The sheriff is looking for you.

Haven't you heard?

Nunez had a change of heart. He dropped the charges.

Thanks, Mom.

Don't worry. I'll get your money back.

What do you think of me?

Never met anyone quite like you.

You certainly have an opinion, don't you?

Hate to run up against you in a dark alley.

That is yours.

Why?

A promising young man has to have appropriate toys.

Wow, look at it.

I can't accept this.

I haven't done anything to deserve it.

Well, maybe someday you will.

What could I possibly do to deserve a car like this?

Well, when the time comes, I'll tell you.

Here are your keys.

Get in your car and drive it and enjoy it.

¿Entiendes lo que tiene que hacer?

Comprendo, señor Campston.

Está bien.

Está todo aquí.

Mucho gusto.

come from?

Angela gave it to me.

And you accepted it just like that?

Well, why not?

She likes me.

And I need a car.

Oh, come off it, Cole. This isn't a car. It's a bribe, and you know it.

But, Dad, look at it.

It's beautiful.

I think you underestimated Angela.

Honey, it is beautiful. I can understand that you want to keep it, but... So can

I, but it's not right, and he knows it.

He's going to return it.

Now.

I'm not a kid anymore, Captain.

Who's going to return this thing?

You or me?

I make my own decisions now.

I want the car.

And I'm keeping it.

Cole, come on in.

So why don't we just go look for him or something?

Yeah, I'm about ready to. Cole knows what he has to do. Chase, he might have

an accident. Who knows what might have happened? We would have been notified.

He's angry. He'll get over it. Oh.

I'll get it.

Hello. Hello. Come in, please.

Hi, Alicia. How lovely to see you. How are you? Good to see you back on your

feet again.

Thank you.

Dad's put me back to work already.

I think that's a good idea.

We came to wish you good luck tonight.

Well, thank you, but it's your harvest as much as it is ours.

Let's drink to that.

Wonderful. Come in, please.

Oh, where's the man?

I don't know. He's up churning some weird stuff. He's been going, I don't

So how are you?

Right now?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Have I told you yet how beautiful I think you are? Oh, are you okay? I'm

I'll resist the temptation to make a speech to tell you how much this harvest

means to me and how grateful I am to you.

To our harvest.

Good. Yes.

Hello?

Yes.

Well, of course we were worried about him.

Could I speak to him, please?

Angela, put him on the phone and then tell him to come home.

And... Spending the night at Falcon Crest.

I'd like to go up there and strangle the both of them. I'm sure that might make

you feel better, but it's not the right thing for Cole.

Jesse is no match for her. Let's just go up there and get him. That would be the

worst thing we could do.

Let him stay there and see what life's really like in that hornet's nest.

If he wants to play Angela's game, let him learn the rules.

Did you lose something, Pat?

I thought you'd be out of the country by now.

Ghosts. The house is full of them.

I've heard about Emma.

You got a lot more guts than I thought.

Making a play to take my place with my grandmother.

I think it was the other way around.

It was her idea.

And you believe I'll let that happen?

I don't think you've got much to say about it.

It seems to me it's pretty much up to me to decide.

And I haven't told her one way or the other.

Yet.

You're hooked, cousin.

Whether you know it or not. Because first you took the car and now you're in

house.

One more step, you'll be trapped for the rest of your life.

You see, you're way over your head, you dumb eastern preppy.

And you don't even know it.

We'll see about that.

Lots of people get caught in Angie Channing's web.

So, be careful, cousin.

Hi.

Crew's late. Oh.

No, here they come.

Oh.

What's going on? They're afraid.

Somebody threatened them or else paid them not to work.

That's crazy!

Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. I need... I need... Look, I got a crop. I don't care.

How was the crush?

They finished picking around seven.

The last gondola was crushed about ten.

What did the Chardonnays yield?

Between two and three tons an acre, I would say.

Well, that's not bad for the age of the vines.

Cole and I are driving into the university today.

I'll have a surprise for you when you get back, Grandmother.

I've had quite enough of your surprises.

Finish your breakfast, Cole. We want to get an early start.

Cole should be here.

Yeah, he should be here.

Chase, maybe we could call and tell... No, no, let's just hope he has the good

sense to come home today.

Dad, what are we going to do?

We've got to figure out some way to harvest those grapes.

Well, at the very worst, we could always sell out to Angie.

When hell freezes over.

I wonder what old Joseph Gioberti would have done.

Well, from what I've heard, he and Tessa practically did everything themselves.

Maggie, we couldn't begin to scratch the surface.

So at least we'd go out in style.

I knew there was another reason I loved you.

Sorry, you're not up there at the control.

Shut up and pick.

You know, you can make a career out of getting a degree in enology.

Personally, I don't think you need a Ph .D.

Still, that would be really something.

Doctor of one.

Yeah.

Grandmother?

Can I speak with you for a moment?

Yeah, speak.

Alone, if you don't mind. Well, I'd better go over to my folks' place and

up something to wear.

Well, you can wear Lance's tux tonight. He won't be needing it.

Let's go in the study.

Excuse us.

I brought you a prize, Grandmother.

Chase Giverto had a little bad luck today. His picking crew ran out on him.

How'd you manage that?

A few bucks, a little intimidation. No dynamite?

No, grandmother, not even a firecracker.

Please tell my mother I must see her at once.

She's in the study with Lance right now.

I believe he's wandering around here somewhere.

Let me get Angela for you.

I thought I was doing you a favor when I blew up this punk house.

It attracted too much attention.

Now, if Turk Tobias hadn't been a friend, you would be in real trouble.

And I'm sorry about the fight at the hideaway.

It's the same thing. If you wanted to blow off a little steam with a fight,

didn't have to do it in front of the whole world.

At any rate, Chase won't be able to bring in his harvest on time.

Where did you get the money to pay the pickers?

Mother thought she was sending me on a European vacation.

I'll forgive him.

The next time you do me a favor, check with me.

Sorry dad Know

what happened to your crew

I'll have a word with you.

I have guests to attend to. I think you'd better take the time for me.

This morning I lost my picking crew.

Somebody paid them off or scared them off. At any rate, they're gone.

Well, it's none of my doing, if that's what you mean.

I want my crew back first thing in the morning. I will not stand by and watch

harvest wither on the vine.

I'm not used to intimidations and threats.

Cole overheard Lance telling you why he did it.

In court, I think his testimony will stand up just fine.

I want you to keep hands off my son.

And I expect that crew back in my vineyard at daybreak, ready to work.

You'll have your answer in the morning.

Angela. Don't push me, Chase.

I won't be cornered.

Heavenly Father, from whom all good gifts flow, we ask thy blessing on these

grapes and upon those who provide them.

We give thanks for the warm sun, the soft rain, and for the good soil that

hast provided.

to bring this harvest to fruition.

We ask thy continuing blessing upon this and all of our endeavors.

Amen.

She's ready to go to work.

Let's go to work.

Thank you.

Oh, boy.
