Why did you agree to see me today?

I wanted to make you cry.

I know that you financed this script.

Daryl told me everything, including your little plot to destroy my marriage.

What you may have done or may not have done with Daryl is not my concern.

Alyssa.

If you've got evidence, fine. If not, this is harassment.

Cole didn't anymore hold up that liquor store than he killed Carlo Agretti.

Thank you.

Dad, I'm on my way in to see you. What can I do for you?

Find Carlo Agretti's murderer and clear Cole's name.

Chase, the charges have been dropped.

Frankly, I don't think you're doing much about the Agretti case at all. And in

the meantime, my son's taking the rap.

You're overreacting.

Call it what you will.

It's your responsibility to find that murderer, and you haven't done it.

Well, there just aren't any new leads right now, but you can take it from me

that the Agretti case is still top priority.

That's not good enough.

I know you're still upset about Cole.

But that doesn't give you the right to tell me how to do my job. I think it

does. Well, if you've got complaints about me, I suggest you take them to the

next meeting of the Board of Supervisors. But in the meantime, you

me handle it.

I'm through relaxing, Dan.

No, eso es todo.

Bueno.

Adios y gracias, eh.

Gracias.

So, that's how we divest ourselves of our real estate holdings on the Costa

Sol.

You handled that beautifully.

You make it very easy for me, my dear.

Excuse me, Mr. Channing, but the antique buggy for Founder's Day has been

delivered.

All right. I'll be right out.

Play your cards right, and I'll treat you to a nice, long lunch at the

Canterbury Inn.

I'd love to.

But, you know, I have that board meeting to worry about.

That's not till tomorrow.

I booked that quiet little table near the window where we can sit, watch them

catch our trout in the stream outside.

Fresh trout?

Well, a girl has to eat.

Richard?

Oh, there you are.

For a minute, I thought I was alone.

Funny, I know the feeling.

Mother?

Sit down.

Thank you.

Richard, I know I've hurt you, but...

I never intended to give you up.

Certain circumstances were beyond my control.

Your father was married to Angela, and I was married to Jason Gioberti.

Why did you get involved in the first place?

Well, Jason and Angela were spending a lot of time in Washington, lobbying for

agricultural subsidies. So you and my father fell into each other's lonely

No.

No, we fought the attraction.

But both our marriages were in trouble.

Why did you put me in an orphanage?

It was only supposed to be temporary.

I had to come back here to try and save my marriage.

But it was too late.

Angela had already turned Jason against you?

Yes.

I filed for divorce, took Chase and went back to Europe for good.

I wanted both of my sons with me.

By then, Henry Dinal had already swooped in and adopted me.

When did Douglas Channing find out I was his son?

Well, it was long after the adoption.

Oh, Richard.

I never wanted to choose between my sons.

But you did.

You made your choice.

And it was not me.

Why did she take so long to tell you?

I think she was afraid of what I'd say.

Thank you.

Did you talk to Jacqueline afterwards?

Yes.

She told me everything.

You're angry with her, aren't you?

I don't know what I feel.

Yeah.

I'm a little angry. I'm frustrated.

I'm even disoriented. I feel I should deal with this.

Chase, just take it easy for a while, all right?

Richard must feel the same way that you do.

Maybe.

I don't want anyone to know just yet, not even Cole and Vicki.

Darling, they have a right to know.

I've spent my life searching for my mother.

I suppose I've rehearsed reunion scenes thousands of times in my mind.

Richard, you can hate me, but you must keep this a secret.

Are you asking a favor of me?

Douglas Channing was a fair man.

In the end, he proved you were not forgotten.

What is there to be gained by destroying a dead man's reputation?

Don't worry.

The fact that you're my mother is not something I'm proud of.

Why did you agree to see me today?

I guess I wanted to make you feel some of the pain that I felt.

I wanted to make you cry.

No.

No, those tears were shed long ago.

Wow, you look great.

Thanks. Oh, so good to see you. I thought you were in Boston playing with

orchestra.

You were looking at a boss and pop's washout.

Hey, nothing ventured? Nothing gained?

Yeah, et cetera, et cetera.

The coffee breaks over, Linda.

Pop, you can't be serious.

Dead serious.

Now, scoot.

Bye. Bye.

Stay away from Linda.

She's a nice girl.

I know that, Mr. Caproni. Linda and I are friends.

Carlo Agretti was my friend, Cole.

His murderer is still running around scot -free.

Anything wrong?

No, nothing.

You got something you want to get off your chest, Mr. Caproni? Come on, Dad,

let's go.

Nerve of that guy.

Don't worry about it. It happens a lot.

You shouldn't have to put up with that. You're not a suspect, and I don't want

anybody saying you are.

But he actually accused me.

They just give me one of those I -know -you -did -it looks.

It's no big deal. Yeah, people like Caproni think it is.

Thanks for catching that, Jerry. I don't know how I missed that in the first

place. Will you take care of it?

Thanks.

I admire a man who admits he was wrong.

Richard. Jason.

I apologized for my behavior yesterday.

Well, it was tough news, to say the least. It's understandable.

Anyway, I got to thinking about it.

And I sort of like the idea of having a brother.

Even more, I like the idea of having you as a brother.

Who knows, we might even get to become friends.

Friendship isn't inherited.

It's something you work for.

Won't you meet me halfway?

You mean halfway up the steps of the globe?

What will it take for you to vote Emma shares in my favor at tomorrow's board

meeting? My vote's not the same.

I don't want to buy it, but it would mean a lot to me to know that you were

handing me a vote of confidence.

One brother to another.

It's all so important to you, isn't it?

Power.

Wheeling and dealing, all that.

I guess up until now, power's always been a substitute for people in my life.

Would you be willing to give up the memorial winery for control of the

Those are your terms, yes.

Good.

I want construction on the winery.

To stop right away.

And permanently.

I want you to give the county a release on the property.

And build that public park there.

Like you promised originally.

And I want it all in writing before the board meeting.

You don't trust me?

Of course I do.

What happens if I refuse to sign such an agreement?

I'd vote against you.

Brother.

So how's it look?

It'll hang on our buggy.

Founder's Day celebration.

So full of tradition.

Not to mention all the pretty women.

Well, of course, it's always nice to know where the family has been.

But it's just as important to know about the future.

How's that?

Oh, continuing the line.

Making sure there are heirs to carry on the Gioberti name.

Cole.

Forgive this grandmotherly question, but isn't there someone special?

You know, someone you might like to marry and start your own family with?

Jacqueline, what if I were to tell you that the family's already a generation

ahead?

Well, that would be most interesting news.

Well, what if I were to tell you that I was in love with someone who had a baby?

My baby.

Well, then I'd wonder why I haven't met her or why I haven't seen the child.

The baby's Melissa's. And since Lance has been the father, he doesn't care

the child at all.

Well, then we'll have to fight them for custody.

You're right.

But right now, it's just not a very good time for me to go around making waves.

A lot of people in this town think I murdered Carlo Agretti.

Oh, Carlo.

If you turn your back on that baby now, you'll pay for it later.

You're so positive.

Oh, darling, trust me.

I know about these things.

Good afternoon.

We missed you at lunch, Mother.

I had lunch out.

Hello, Grandmother.

Did Golden Boy make it back from launch yet? You mean Cole?

Yes, I just saw him down at the winery checking that new shipment of

That's my job.

Then why aren't you down there doing it?

Seems your little protege is taking a shot at running things, huh?

He seems eager to learn.

It's bad enough we have Chase sticking his nose into things. Now we got his

Golden Boy son doing it, too. I'm up to here with the Gibertis.

I'll get it.

Oh, honey, you know what I discovered in the attic today?

This old party dress of your great -aunt Vesta's, would you believe?

Do you think it would be all right if I wore it for Founders Day?

Well, I don't think she'd mind. She's been dead 75 years.

Sheriff! Evening, Vicki. May I come in?

Uh, yeah, sure. Thanks.

Dan, what's the trouble? Chase, I'm sorry to interrupt, but... Hey, Dan, the

bottling machine's down again.

Yeah?

We had a little disturbance in town. Robbery at a liquor store.

Well, is there anything I can do to help?

Well, I've got a witness who saw someone running away from the scene. The

description fits Cole.

What are you getting at?

Now, hold on, Chase.

Nobody's making any accusations.

Now, you hold on.

If you've got evidence, fine. If not, this is harassment.

I'm just following a lead.

You're trying to nail me, and I didn't have anything to do with it. Now, Cole

wouldn't hold up any liquor store, and you know it.

Lots of guys in this valley fit my description.

What time did this robbery take place?

4 .30 this afternoon.

Cole was home with me.

Cole didn't anymore hold up that liquor store than he killed Carlo Agretti.

Well, let's not confuse the issue. That's exactly my point. Let's not

the issue. Just lay off Cole.

I may still want to ask you a few questions.

Anytime. I've got nothing to hide.

Is that all?

I guess so.

Good night.

Good night.

Cole.

Honey, sit down and have your dinner.

Try to relax Cole You

know what's happening

they're not gonna let you off the hook until that murder is caught I'm gonna

take care of that

I have to go with Angela to the board meeting at the Globe tomorrow afternoon,

but my evening is open.

Good.

I'll pick up at seven, go for a quiet dinner someplace, then a long nightcap

my house.

That's one of the things I love most about you, Amanda.

You're so secure.

Anybody else would be jealous of the amount of time I spend with Angela

Channing.

I'll see you tomorrow then.

Good night.

I was worried you could have called.

I told you before, don't worry about me. I'll get home when I get home.

Where were you all night?

Out, enjoying myself.

Something I can't seem to do with you anymore.

Sheila, it doesn't have to be this way.

So what are your plans for today?

I'm going to Falcon Crest to see Cole's child.

What do you know about Cole's child?

Oh, he told me.

My grandchildren have no secrets from me.

Then it must be very difficult for you to keep one from them.

A secret?

Chase told me.

Well, it's not like Chase to break a promise.

It won't go any further, Jacqueline.

Not even to Cole? No.

Or Victoria?

No. Oh, if Angela ever found out about this, oh, would she take it out on

Don't worry, she won't.

Come with me to Falcon Crest.

I want you next to me when I see Joseph.

Please?

Okay. Oh, sure.

As long as I've been here, I haven't seen little Joseph yet.

Yes, I was telling Jacqueline how adorable he is. Naturally. He takes

father. So I've heard.

Oh, he's beautiful.

Could I pick him up?

If you must.

Hey, look at this guy. Come here.

Hi there.

Hi there.

Oh, look at this boy.

Isn't he something?

Grandmother, I've told Philip.

Seems like our little Joseph has found a new friend.

I see.

We have to be at Philip's office in an hour. I know, I know. I'll be right

Hi, honey.

It's a good boy. Will I be seeing you later at the board meeting, Maggie?

Of course, Angela. I wouldn't miss it for the world.

There we go.

Thank you. Excuse us.

We found her.

Emma Channing's in Houston at the Gulf Shore Sanitarium. Excellent.

Thanks, Al.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Well, now that you've found her, what good will it do?

Chase still holds her proxy.

Oh, she'll come back someday.

In the meantime, I can lay a little groundwork.

Everything ready for the board meeting?

One or two more details, I'd like to go over.

Miss Sterling.

Fine. Listen.

I want you to contact a florist in Houston.

And I want you to have them send a dozen yellow roses every week until further

notified to a Miss Emma Channing.

She is at the Gulf Shore Sanitarium.

Houston.

No. No card.

I prefer not to be identified.

Yes. I am a secret admirer.

What's the

matter,

girl? Hello?

Nothing. What?

Sorry, I didn't want to break my stride.

You know, your shoes look shot. You should resole every month.

Thanks for the tip, Nick.

Why don't we have lunch or something? I'd like to see. I really would.

I run five miles every day at about this time.

I'm sure we'll run into each other again.

See ya.

Well, Richard, it seems like we have you backed in a corner.

I once knew a lion tamer who went into the cage with that same attitude.

He came out in the belly of the lion.

Nevertheless, the shares which Mrs. Channing has acquired...

which total 12 % of all outstanding stock, give her sufficient leverage to

acquire control of the globe, assuming she can gain control of both her

daughter's proxies.

Well, I'm sure that Chase realizes that he's representing Emma's interests and

not his own.

You can all rest assured that I'll vote for the good of the globe and of Emma.

All right.

Let's get on with it. Yes.

The motion to elect a new board of directors and a new publisher has

been made and seconded.

Shall we begin with you, Angela?

I'm sure your vote will hold no surprise.

For once, you're right. I'm going to vote aye in favor of a new publisher.

Of course.

Julia?

Aye.

Naturally.

I vote nay.

Well, Chase, it's up to you.

How you vote Emma's proxy will decide the future of the new globe.

I vote... Nay.

Motion's defeated.

Meeting's adjourned.

You betrayed me again, Chase.

And you'll pay for this.

Don't tell me you've given up.

Never. But the winery.

Merely an expendable token compared to the Agretti vineyards.

Thanks, Chase.

I won't forget your vote of confidence.

Have a good day.

The gall of that man.

Well, now that this is all behind us, I'm sure you can find a way clear to

liquidate your Globe shares and repay the Falcon Crest accounts.

It'll be taken care of.

Smile, Lance. You're supposed to be having a good time.

Oh, I am.

I am, really.

Has anyone seen Philip? He was supposed to be here by this time.

The roads into town are jammed.

Oh, I know, and I've invited all those prominent vineyardists tonight to Falcon

Fest for the party.

Why do you throw a party every year?

Tradition.

A good party.

You've made me very happy.

In what way?

Except for Richard, if you'll pardon me.

And your vote at the Globe here today did more to cement relations than you

imagine. Well, purely business, Mother. It's got nothing to do with Brotherly

Love.

I'd rather not. Oh, come on.

Gratification is instant, and the rewards are soft and pleasant.

Why aren't you with the rest of your clan?

I'd rather mingle.

Good. I'll mingle with you.

I've never been to a founder's day before. You can show me the site.

There's nothing much to see, believe me.

very attracted to you.

The fact that you're somebody else's wife doesn't bother me in the least.

Are you going to the party in Falcon Crest this evening?

If you promise to have dinner with me this week in San Francisco alone.

That's a possibility.

Strong nose.

Hmm.

Well, you're like this when a falcon tries to be in big trouble.

I see you've discovered Stonebriar's infantile. I hear it's her best.

Don't tell anybody, but I'm going over to the mom and buy a couple of cases.

Listen, Chase, I'd like to get your position on the fair tax vote before the

next supervisors' meeting.

Sure. Will you excuse us?

Sure. Hey, I'm married to a public servant.

Very nice.

Maggie? Daryl, hi.

Welcome to Founders Day.

Oh, thank you.

Try one of these, yeah.

Good.

Hmm.

Not bad.

Temptative. Promising.

Oh, balls apart in the end.

It's a wine, Daryl, not a scratch. Oh, forgive me. I tend to take my work too

seriously, which reminds me.

We should start taking yours more seriously.

I've been working very hard.

No, you're too distracted up here.

We're doing much better work in hospital.

Well, I'll tell you, there's more to my life than just this crypt, you know?

Excuse me.

Uh, look, Maggie, sooner or later you're going to have to make a decision here.

Either be a kitchen table writer all your life, or go home.

I'll tell you something.

I think it's just terrific that I'm a mother, a wife, and a writer. And the

kitchen table suits me just fine.

Look, Maggie, um...

Hollywood, no.

It's either that or I'll be forced to pass on the project.

Is that something you're not telling me? No.

This is a business of scratching backs, and sometimes a movie or two even gets

made in the shuffle.

I don't see what that has to do with where I write.

It does.

Just believe me, it does.

Why?

Who do you owe a favor?

A lot of people, and a lot of people owe me. Who?

Okay. Angela Channing.

She backed your script on condition I get you out of town.

And like a fool, I went along.

She paid you to like my script? No, no. I really think I can get the picture

produced. The fact is, you do have talent. A lot. And I mean, the script is

good.

This is supposed to make me feel better, right?

It was a rotten thing for me to do, but... See, something happened when we

working together. At least, it happened for me, and I hope...

I hope that maybe you felt the same way.

I think you know I don't.

You must try the Gamay Beaujolais.

The nose is full and robust, but the wine itself is thin, heartless, and very

disappointing.

What was that all about?

There's no movie.

Wait a minute. Explain.

Angela was behind the whole thing.

You mean the Hollywood business? All that was a hoax?

Apparently.

I can't believe it. I feel so gullible.

I'm so sorry. I know how important that script is to you.

Look, it isn't just the work. There's something else.

Yeah?

When I was in Malibu with Daryl, I almost had an affair with him.

Nothing happened.

But I have to be honest with you, I was tempted.

I don't know. I think it was because we were working so closely together.

But in all the years that we've been married, I have never even come close to

being unfaithful to you.

And it frightened me to think what I could have lost.

I love you.

Oh.

Chase, I'm sorry. I really did a dumb thing. I should never have sold out to

Angela.

Oh, I love carnations, don't you? I'd rather have a nice, strong grapevine.

Angela, good afternoon, Julia. Good afternoon. You're late.

I know, and I apologize.

Did you take care of that real estate business in Spain? Exactly what I was

doing.

And now I suggest we make up for lost time.

Let go have a double lemonade.

You gonna eat all those yourself?

This is just the start.

Vicki, I owe you an apology.

For what? Oh, for being married.

Hey, don't mention it. It happens to the best of us.

Is that why you've been avoiding him? Nick, you didn't plan to get emotionally

involved, okay?

But I did.

Once it's a mistake, but if I let it happen again, that's just plain stupid.

But you're letting your fear of getting hurt stand in the way of our friendship.

That's stupid.

But safer.

If I was your coach, I'd never let you quit, even when the going got tough.

That's how I feel about our friendship.

I'm not going to let you blow it.

I'm not.

Like you found someone to help fill those lonely nights.

Hello. Hi.

Lance. Brenda.

You're not here all by yourself, are you?

Not anymore.

You know what they say.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

Sometimes it's worth even more.

Whoa.

Stella?

I drank wine.

Now, don't rub it in.

We feel like carrots since it is. Here, give this man a beer.

That way I'll feel less guilty.

Thank you.

Well.

Now that the Globe's business is all over with, I'm hoping we can get better

acquainted. Oh, really?

I've never been a brother before.

Neither have I.

Are there any rules?

None that I can stick up except maybe, uh...

Make up for lost time?

I'd like that.

Take some work, won't you?

Hey, Dad, we need you.

We're taking a family picture.

Right, I'll be right there.

Come on, Johnson.

What? For a family picture. That is pushing it a little bit.

honestly have any feelings for Jay?

Yes.

Hate him.

I always wondered what Falcon Crest looked like.

Well, actually, we live in the basement.

All this stuff is for the tourists.

You're pulling my leg.

I'd love to pull your leg.

Good evening, Charlie.

Sir?

Hello.

You're making a habit of being late.

If I am, it's only because of my devotion to you and your legal affairs.

He's such a good little baby. We named him Joseph.

He's sleeping through the night already.

And one day he'll be a fine winemaker.

Oh, Mother, don't you think it's a little early to expect him to be

our footsteps?

Oh, don't be silly. Falcon Crest is this boy's legacy.

And one day it will be a domain that he can rule.

Well, she's already planned that baby's entire life.

It's so dark.

I know.

Melissa.

This is Brenda.

What happened to Lori?

Or have you given up on her?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Laurie couldn't make it this evening.

Close the door on your way out.

Excuse me.

My dear wife, this party is the wrong time and the wrong place. Maybe, but I

want to get this off my chest.

Impatience.

I know you'll do what you want to do anyway, but I'm telling you, there'll be

more opportune moment. Don't worry, I am in complete control.

I have something for you.

Oh, really? My script.

You paid for it. You're entitled to a copy.

I don't understand.

I know that you financed this script.

Daryl told me everything, including your little plot to destroy my marriage.

That's absurd.

What you may have done or may not have done with Daryl is not my concern.

Well, I'll tell you one thing that is your concern, Angela.

Chase and I are going to stay right here.

Nothing you can do will change that, ever.

Oh, Melissa.

I haven't seen Lance all evening. Do you know where he is?

He has a feeling, though.

He said he went upstairs to lie down. Oh, really?

Oh, thank you.

Didn't you see enough the first time, Melissa?

I think I've seen quite enough.

I think you better go.

Um, sure.

Excuse me.

We'll talk about this later.

Yes, knowing your father's killer is running around for you has got to be

painful. And frightening.

I can't help thinking whoever it is might come back.

That's why he's got to be caught, Melissa. I intend to do that.

What makes you think you can do what the sheriff apparently can't do?

Unlike the sheriff, I want to clear my son once and for all.

The charges against Cole have already been dropped.

Well, you know human nature.

Some people still assume he's guilty.

I'm sorry he has to go through that.

Will you help me?

Yes.

I'll do whatever I can.

Thank you.

Good evening.

Well, here's to three generations of beautiful Chauberti women.

How gallant.

Maybe accurate.

You know, I can't understand how Chase voted with Richard Channing at the board

meeting after what he's done to Cole.

Chase has his reasons. He wants to protect public land in the valley.

Richard Channing is out to destroy this valley.

He's a very clever and manipulative person.

Those are often assets.

Perhaps.

You ladies excuse me a minute.

Chase? Richard.

Good to see you.

I'm surprised to see you here.

I wouldn't have missed it for anything.

This is going to be a very special evening.

The stage is set.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention for a moment, please?

This man is full of surprises.

I hate surprises.

Thank you.

I'm sorry to interrupt you, but...

I felt that since we were all gathered here this evening, it would be the

perfect opportunity for me to tell you how thankful I am.

You see, when I first came to the Tuscany Valley, one of my main

to find my mother.

Well, I am thrilled to be able to tell you that I have found her.

As a matter of fact, she's here tonight.

To my mother.

Jacqueline Perrault.

You bitch.

Next on Falkenberg.

Jacqueline.

Richard is your son?

Yes. And Douglas was the father? I want to give her as much pain as she's given

me. Jacqueline will always be my mother. She's accountable to no one but

herself. When she seduced Douglas Channing, she became accountable to me.

Had I returned with Douglas' child, it would have destroyed your marriage.

Something you managed quite well on your own. But who abandoned her bastard son?
