Original subtitles

No one at Falcon Crest had anything to do with what happened today. Whoever the

murderer is, he's getting more desperate by the day.

I'm going to Paris.

I want to find out everything I can find out about that so -called adoption.

Who went off to L .A. to play screenwriter?

Who almost had an affair? Who moved out? It wasn't me. It has nothing to do with

what I am talking about. It has everything to do with it. Is Philip

you? He wouldn't dare.

You've got the visconti wiring.

What else do you want? I want her head and chases alongside him.

Thank you.

This was no accident.

Every day at Falcon Crest, Julia got a note, a warning from somebody to stay

of the aggressive investigation.

You dragged her into this? Chase, what's it going to take to keep you out of

this thing?

Julia could have been killed here today. That should be your primary concern,

not me.

Right. I'll check out the car, but I want to see that letter.

Dad, what about Melissa? She was supposed to meet Fong.

Look, she could be in danger.

You go get her, and I'll meet you at the hospital. All right.

Julia's been in an accident. Her car went up in flames.

She's at the hospital.

What?

She was thrown from the car, but at least she's alive.

She said her brakes went out.

I borrowed her car yesterday. Her brakes are fine.

Did Fong ever show?

No.

I don't get it.

After seeing that note Julia got, I'm surprised that you get her involved in

this ridiculous witch hunt. There's nothing ridiculous about it. Somebody's

getting desperate.

How's Julia?

She's still down in the x -ray.

I just saw the remains of her car. She was lucky to get out of that alive.

Do you have any idea what you're asking me to do?

I didn't pose it as a request, Harrison.

Most of the independent vineyards in Tuscany Valley sell to Falconcrest.

Your job is to persuade them to sell to me.

But that winery of yours can't handle more than 20 ,000 barrels a year.

I don't care if I have to bury the grapes.

Just as long as Angela doesn't get a hold of them. You're talking about a

staggering amount of money, Richard. I'm aware of that.

Now, look.

Try to be pragmatic.

Look at her from a purely business point of view.

Pragmatism, Erickson, is in the eye of the beholder. Besides, there's a lot

to this than business.

You've got the Visconti winery. What else do you want?

Angela Channing declared war on me before I ever set foot in this town.

tell you what I want. I want her head and chases alongside it.

I see no reason to wait, so start putting the bids in.

I'll have to go through a third party.

Angela mustn't know that I'm working with you. All right, fine. Just get it

done.

Oh, by the way, I've given Emma Channing a job on the paper, so we're going to

have to confine our meetings to after hours. We don't want Emma taking any

gossip home to Mother, do we?

How many more close calls before someone gets killed?

Cole told me about the note you received.

Then you've got to realize how serious all this is. You are endangering

everyone. Look, let's talk about us.

About Cole and Vicki.

This separation is getting harder and harder for all of us. Chase, this is the

hardest thing that I have ever had to do. I am doing this for you. I know you

don't understand that. That is utter nonsense.

Who went off to L .A. to play screenwriter?

Who almost had an affair? Who moved out? It wasn't me. It has nothing to do with

what I am talking about. It has everything.

Julia. Mom.

How is she, doctor?

The x -rays were negative.

She can go home. Oh, good.

Darling, what happened out there?

I don't know.

All I remember is the car rolling over, and I guess I was thrown clear. Well,

thank God you're okay.

Julia?

You didn't have to follow me out there.

Julia, it's time to go home. Is it all right, doctor?

Can I do the driving?

Yeah, not you anymore.

Long never showed.

What was that call all about?

It got me. Did the sheriff check out Julia's car?

I don't know. I'm going over to his office now to find out.

Goodbye, Chase.

Why send it right in?

Emma,

come on in. Oh, Diana.

Don't I look great?

Well, you look marvelous.

Now, if I could just figure out how to balance on these high heels, I'd have it

made.

Emma.

I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you.

Well, if it's about that office you gave me, I already know about it. It's

depressing, it's gloomy, and it's not what I expected.

Now, listen to me. It's not about the office.

You know, you promised me a corner suite with a view of the bay. I expect you to

keep your promises in the future.

You pick any office you like, okay?

I want a secretary, too.

A male secretary.

An attractive male secretary.

You'll have to talk to Miss Hunter about attractive male secretaries. I'm sure

she can help you.

And I do not see how you can...

possibly expect me to be your troubleshooter without a computer

Emma, this came in the newsroom. Julia was in an accident this afternoon.

An accident?

Was she hurt?

Well, she's going to be all right.

Listen, why don't you gather your things together?

I'll drive you home and tell you about it on the way.

Richard, you've known about Julia's accident for about an hour.

I was wondering whether you were going to tell Emma anything or not.

Of course I was.

So what shall I do about Emma's demands?

Give her everything she wants.

Including a computer?

Why not? All of the secretaries and reporters have terminals.

We store privileged information in those terminals.

Accessed by a four -letter code, I seriously doubt that she'll ever

it. Listen, I want you to keep her busy. It's important. I don't want her to

feel like her job is insignificant.

Why are you so determined to keep her on here?

With Emma Channing and Philip Erickson on my team, I almost have Angela

surrounded.

Channing, Sheriff Robbins and Mr. Gioberti are waiting in the living room.

Oh, thank you, Charlie.

Well, gentlemen, what can I do for you?

There's something we need to discuss. We took the liberty of asking Melissa to

join us.

Well, sit down.

Thank you.

I'm surprised to see you two on speaking terms.

I asked Chase to be here, Mrs. Channing. How is Julia?

Resting. Angela, that car didn't just go out of control this afternoon.

Somebody was deliberately trying to kill Julia.

Melissa!

I understand that Julia loaned her car to you.

Yesterday. Why?

Well, it's just that somebody tampered with the brake linkage, someone who had

access to the automobile, and I certainly would like to know who that

That sounds like an accusation.

Nobody's under suspicion.

We just need the answer to some questions.

We?

Well, I'm surprised at you, Sheriff. I thought you had a court order keeping my

nephew out of this investigation.

The order's still in effect.

Chase was at the scene of the accident and he was aware of the threat against

Julia's life. I need his cooperation just as I need yours, Mrs. Jennings.

No one at Falcon Crest had anything to do with what happened today.

Or with Carlo Agredi's death.

There are a few simple facts you're going to have to face.

Whoever the murderer is, he's getting more desperate by the day.

As long as he's on the loose, none of us is safe.

Not even you.

How's Julia? I've been so worried. Well, she's fine. She's resting. Where have

you been?

I've been working at the New Globe.

I want to go see Julia.

Excuse me.

Sit these here.

So?

I'm sorry about what happened to Julia.

You've given Emma a job, huh? Yes.

She's vice president of internal affairs.

She's going to be a trouble shooter for me.

Why not editor -in -chief?

I don't know why you object.

She wasn't employed at Falcon Crest.

Why are you doing this, Richard?

Emma's a major shareholder in the newspaper.

And she's my sister.

I need her support.

Good day.

Julia was sleeping.

I didn't want to disturb her. I want to talk to you about this job.

What's there to talk about? I've just been there one day.

I don't think it's a good idea.

My father left me a big chunk of stock in the globe.

I don't think he would have done it unless he felt I was up to it.

Richard is using you to get at me. Can't you see that?

Lay off, Mother.

You can't gaslight me the way you used to.

The road is beautiful, Pinky.

What about it?

No, thanks.

You know, we should be going if we're going to go running at 7 o 'clock in the

morning.

It's funny. I used to avoid going home just so I wouldn't have to face Sheila

anymore.

Now, I don't want to go home because the house will be empty.

Well, hopefully you won't be going home to an empty house for too long.

What are your parents going to say when you tell them you want to get married?

Well, what's the worst they can do?

Throw me out?

That wouldn't be so bad.

Just keep in mind I have to work with your father.

Come around.

Sooner or later.

It'll all work out.

I guess the first thing to do is tell him that Sheila and I are getting a

divorce. I'll grab the bull by the horns.

It all sounded so easy a minute ago.

Don't worry.

Like you said, everything will work out.

Just on my way to see you.

I was just leaving. This is important.

If it has anything to do with Carlo Agretti's untimely death, it'll have to

wait. No, no, no. I just spoke with Eric Ristelli.

He's not selling us his harvest this year.

He has an agreement with us.

Not anymore.

He's been offered 1 ,800 a ton for everything he can produce this season.

But that's nonsense.

Who in his right mind would pay those prices?

The Visconti winery.

Oh.

Richard would try to pull something like this.

He's going after the entire harvest, Angela.

Well, if we get locked into a crop -bidding war, you know, we could be in

trouble. I think that's the point.

Richard could be in trouble, too. It's going to take an awful lot of money to

corner the market.

Well, it'll take more than money, because I'll bury him under my vineyards

before I let him get his hands on Falcon Crest.

Julia?

Oh, hi, Maggie. Come on in.

Boy.

You really up to being back to work so soon?

Oh, well.

Mother thought I should stay in bed, but I figured that the best way to get over

the accident is just get back to work.

Maybe.

Are you sure you're all right?

Oh, yeah.

Maggie, I really want to apologize to you for jumping all over you the other

day. Oh, come on, Julia. You were absolutely right.

Chase has really gone overboard about this investigation. I know. He's

possessed. Well, after yesterday, I really think it's too dangerous.

Well, I agree.

However, I think Chase is right about one thing. Whoever is behind this has

to be caught before he does something else.

Yes, well, I think he should let the sheriff handle it from now on.

Julia, if he'd do that, we wouldn't be apart.

Have you told him that?

Repeatedly. Oh, Maggie.

The Ristelli brothers own 400 acres of prime vineyards. With an annual yield of

800 tons.

Rich is going to put them in a...

Million dollar a year bracket overnight.

How can he do this?

My advice, Angela, would be to counter -offer.

And have every vineyardist in the valley demand the same consideration?

Huh.

That's nonsense.

That's exactly what Richard wants me to do.

I don't see that you have a choice.

When Jacqueline Perrault was here, you dug up some information that frightened

her into leaving.

You're not going to scare Richard out of the valley.

Not with that information.

She sold her son to Denault.

Well, I want to find out what she got in return.

Money, position.

Remember, she was having a rough time.

She was trying to raise Chase on her own.

Richard was being brought up in a convent.

Henri Denault and his wife were living in the outskirts of Paris, wanting a

Philip, I'm going to Paris.

I want to find out everything I can find out about that so -called adoption.

Are you sure that you want to be away from Falcon Crest right now?

Richard could do you a lot of damage during your absence.

But I'll only be gone a few days.

Then I'm going with you.

We'll make a holiday out of it.

Just the two of us.

Well, you've certainly forgotten the man lacrosse in a big hurry, haven't you?

Amanda was a mistake All right, we'll leave tomorrow

and I'll let you take care of the arrangements

Life

should always be like this funny

Lazy? You say that now, but sometime in the next half hour, you'll remember

something you have to do at Falcon Crest, and that'll be the end of our

afternoon together.

Don't worry.

I'm not going anywhere.

Good. Would you like some more wine? Oh, no thanks.

Can't make excuses to my father unless I have a clear head.

Unless your father would get off your case about me.

I didn't have anything to do with the Egretti murder.

It's more than that.

Let me guess.

He's already got somebody picked out for you.

My father is not the Angela Channing of the bakery trade. No arranged marriages

in this family, thank you.

But he does read the newspapers.

Joseph?

My father is from the old school of thinking.

And he's very protective.

But you and I are just friends.

That's something else he doesn't understand either.

I guess I can't blame him.

Not after what Richard Channing printed about me.

Cole, are you positive that baby's yours?

Maybe Melissa lied to you.

Linda, not a chance.

Melissa found out she was pregnant right after we stopped seeing each other, and

she never slept with Lance.

That baby is my child.

Warning. The proper use of this program material could result in criminal

prosecution.

About 5 % of the harvest.

That's not what I came here to talk to you about.

Are we alone?

Except for the janitorial crew.

We can talk in my office.

Well, she wouldn't tell me everything. Her plans are clearly centered around

Convent of Lorraine.

Lorraine. She seems to think you were born there. She's right. Where'd she get

that information?

I have no idea.

Damn that woman.

Angela doesn't suspect you've come to work for me, does she? No.

I've taken every precaution.

Good.

Because what I need with Angela is a fly on the wall.

I've already agreed to accompany her to Paris.

I want you to report anything she finds out immediately.

Use my private line.

I'll be in touch.

Oh, Emma.

It's after 11 you're keeping late hours as a glow.

Well, I'm a high -powered business executive now, remember?

You don't know the first thing about power or business.

Mother, you haven't even congratulated me about my corner office.

And you haven't even mentioned my computer terminal or my new secretary.

Oh, well, that's wonderful. Well, you just have fun, dear.

You probably even know the color of my carpeting and how many square feet of

office space I have.

What's gotten into you?

Mother, I am tired of being checked up on.

What are you talking about?

Don't pull your innocent routine on me. I know that you're having Philip

Erickson keep an eye on me.

Oh, you must be having delusions. I just saw him at the office about an hour

ago. He was having a late night meeting with Richard.

You saw Philip?

So you admit it.

Wait a minute.

You don't know a thing about this, do you?

Is Philip betraying you?

He wouldn't dare.

Angela's leaving for France tomorrow. Did you know that?

Uh -huh.

What about it?

Have you heard any more about where your father is?

No, not since he left Anchorage, but I'm expecting a call.

If we're ever going to go and control the Falcon Crest, we have to make sure

that Julia goes away with him.

Grandmother would cut Julia out of the will in a second if she thought she was

going to leave with Tony.

It's going to take my mother a little time to think it over.

And with Angela gone, there'll be no one to stop her from leaving if she decides

to go.

Well, that's the beauty of my plan.

There won't be any ifs.

You sound pretty sure of yourself.

I know my mother.

And I know her weaknesses.

I thought you said you had a few more miles to go.

Why don't we finish the last couple of laps together?

have to talk about us i see you see vicky

and i are in love and uh well i know you don't approve but somewhere along the

line we're probably going to get married i thought you were already married

sheila filed for divorce what am i supposed to do congratulate you chase

been friends for a long time friends you've worn that tune a little thin

you friend how can you be so unfair

I don't think it's unfair to say your track record hardly inspires confidence.

All I want is Vicki's happiness.

Huh? Well, we agree on something. Look, Chase, we didn't have to tell you about

the way we feel. We could have waited for the divorce to come along and gotten

married, but we're trying to play by your rules.

I hope you think about that.

I'll see you later.

I'll walk you to your car.

Erickson is here, Miss Johnny.

Thank you, Charlie. Send him in.

Erickson.

I was just going to call you.

Are you packed?

We've got two seats booked on the noon flight to Paris.

That's wonderful.

But I've decided that you're more valuable to me here, so I'm leaving on

four o 'clock alone.

But I was really looking forward to spending a little time with you.

I've even booked a suite at the George Sank.

Perhaps some other time.

I really want you to stay here and keep an eye on Richard.

Now, there's nothing Richard can do in your absence that couldn't be undone.

That's not what you told me yesterday when you tried to persuade me to stay.

Well, I've reconsidered.

You were right.

Would you like me to see you to the airport?

No, that won't be necessary.

Charlie can take me. Then have a good trip.

Oh, and don't worry about a thing.

I won't let Richard out of my sight.

I know you won't.

Hi. Oh, how's my girl?

Fine.

Good to see you get out of that hotel room. Oh, please.

They started talking to my typewriter. Did it talk back to you?

But that's when I thought, I'm leaving.

But are you feeling okay?

Yeah, I feel fine.

How about you? You sound a little upset on the phone. Is everything all right?

Well, that kind of depends on you.

Okay.

As soon as the divorce is final, Nick and I are planning to get married. We

spoke to Dad about it last night, and he didn't exactly give us his blessing.

Oh, now it's, uh... It's your turn.

You love him?

Yeah.

Well, I'm not going to try to stop you. Not that I could, anyway.

You mean you don't object to my marrying you? Well, I didn't say that. I just,

uh... I certainly wish you'd wait a while.

Mom, we don't need to. All right.

I think the time has come for you to make your own decisions.

I feel sure that Nick is right for me.

I just want to see you happy.

And you have to remember that whatever you decide, you're going to have to live

with it.

Well, I guess there's no way to be sure, is there? I mean, look at you and Dad.

You know, I never thought you two would break up in a million years.

The truth of the matter is, your father is a man who is... very much taken with

things other than our marriage.

Are you going to try to get back together?

At the... point. It's up to him.

Holly?

Well, well.

Where are you off to?

I'm going to Paris.

I was going to call you in a couple of days.

I assume it's not business or I would have known about it.

I'm going over to find out about Richard Channing's past.

Does Richard's past have to do with us? He's trying to destroy Falcon Crest, and

I'm going to stop him any way I can.

Richard is buying grapes at an inflated price here, not in Europe.

He was born in Paris.

So? Your mother abandoned him there. Now, if I can find out why, maybe I'll

how to stop him.

Goodbye, Tim. Bon voyage.

Come in.

Oh, hi.

Hello.

How's trick?

I see you got just about everything you asked for.

Richard, this is the most wonderful machine.

Do you know that I can write as much as I want and then with a touch of...

Erase it off.

You better watch and not erase too much. You'll end up with less than you

started.

Well, that's all right. By the time Mother comes back from Paris, I'll be

for my own byline.

Oh, now, back up just a minute here.

I don't need any more reporters.

What I need is a first -rate vice president. You.

Don't let me down.

Well, Richard...

You know, the first rule of a good vice president is to know the job from the

bottom up.

I admire your spirit, Emma. It's just what we need around here.

I just came by to say hello.

I'll see you later.

Bye -bye, Chief.

Bye -bye.

Merci beaucoup.

Good evening, Angela.

Welcome to Paris.

I'm not the least bit happy to see you. I thought I made myself clear.

You always do, Angela.

And I always listen.

I reserve the right to disagree.

Disagree?

Or disobey?

I'm not one of your servants, Angela.

And I can't be cut out of your will.

Is that why you came to Paris, against my wishes?

No.

I came to Paris because... I still feel something for you.

That's very interesting.

And I believe you still feel something for me.

Despite what you claim.

Aren't you being a bit presumptuous?

What better place to find out than on the Champs -Élysées?

This is a very lovely suite.

Complete with a view of the Eiffel Tower.

Charming sitting room.

How many bedrooms?

Two.

Good. Then you won't have any trouble finding yours.

I'll get it.

Emma! Good evening, Cole. Is your father in? Yes. Hey, this is a pleasant

surprise. I came right over from the Globe. I was working late. Sit down.

Is something wrong?

Well, I just cracked Richard's secret code.

It's called an access code.

Richard uses it in the Globe's computer to keep certain files secret.

What kind of files?

Well, most of them are really boring. You know, tax records, balance sheets,

one of them was very interesting.

Richard Channing.

Confidential.

If this access code is so secret, how did you manage to break it?

Easy.

I used a sequential program.

I had no idea you knew so much about computers.

Well, job training was part of therapy at Gulf Shores Clinic.

I chose computers.

Get this.

Payments of $25 ,000 to Carlo Agretti.

Four of them.

Right before Carlo was murdered.

I'm not sure what it all means, but I thought it was something you ought to

know.

Thank you.

I really appreciate this.

I've got to run.

I'm really late. You know how Julia worries.

You take care. And don't worry.

Richard won't know you gave this to me.

Bye -bye.

Bye.

Bye. Drive carefully now. Thank you.

Blackmail? That would have given Richard one hell of a motive for murder,

wouldn't it?

doctor told you to stay in bed.

Somebody's got to work around here.

Besides, I didn't realize that you were so concerned about my health.

You're the only mother I've got and I don't want to lose you.

What do you want? Nothing. Can I even be a little concerned about your well

-being? I find it difficult to believe you.

Sort of like the little boy who cried wolf.

I want to talk to you about Tony.

What about Tony?

The reason why you think he betrayed you.

I don't think I want to hear this.

But you should.

Because Grandmother set him up.

I saw his signature.

Richard Channing offered him $50 ,000 to get me to leave town with him.

Grandmother had Philip draw up the contract.

Then they forged Richard's signature and got Tony to sign some phony delivery

receipt on a photograph.

How do you know that?

Because I went to Tony and asked him about it.

Something you should have done.

Look, if you'd like, I'll try to make contact with him for you.

Maybe set up a meeting.

Mind telling me where you're going?

Please don't make this any more difficult than it already is.

You're moving in with Nick.

I thought it over, and I decided that you've been right all along.

I needed to make a commitment.

Running away from home wasn't exactly what I had in mind. I'm not running

anywhere. I'm making a choice.

A choice to be with Nick.

Whose idea was this?

His or yours?

Mostly mine.

Vicki, can't you see the mistake you're making? Dad, I'm not a child anymore.

I've grown up, and I want to live my life my way.

And all I'm asking is that you let me do it.

I'll be here if you need me.

I know.

I love you, Daddy.

I love you, too.

Just a

second.

You just managed to put the script in. Never mind that.

Vicki's left home. No, that's not quite right. She's moved in with Nick.

Well, I wish I could say that I'm surprised, but I'm not. This has been a

time coming.

That's it?

Your daughter moves in with a man who's not even divorced, and you're not

surprised? No, I'm not surprised.

And if you'd been paying attention to your family instead of playing

you wouldn't be either.

Oh, well, it's nice to see you so concerned about your family, since

one who moved out.

I moved out of the house, not out of my children's lives. There is a difference.

You don't think Vicki's following your example?

Maybe you haven't noticed, Chase, but she isn't following anybody.

She's very grown up.

She's still my daughter. I care what happens to her. I care what... We both

what happens to her. I just think we need to let her make her own decisions.

Even if they're the wrong ones?

How do you know that?

Look, I know it's... I know it's difficult for you to realize that

your little girl is growing up, but she needs to go out and find herself.

Like mother, like daughter.

Sister Marie -Thérèse has not been feeling very well. I'll make it as brief

possible. Thank you.

Would it be possible for me to speak to her alone for a moment?

Of course.

Victor. Do I know you?

No. But I understand that you were in charge of the convent at Lorraine.

Why do you ask?

But in 1945, there was a woman named Jacqueline Charbon.

And she brought her infant son to you.

No.

I remember no such person.

Later, he was adopted by Henry Denault.

It seems that the church records have been destroyed, and you are the only one

who really knows what happened.

Do not ask.

You do not wish to know.

Sister, please, let me be the judge of that.

Always able to turn to profit the misery of others.

The Third Reich knew him as the Dark Angel.

Henry Denault was a Nazi?

And a traitor who sold secrets to the Germans.

He built his empire on the blood of Europe.

Unfortunately, I knew nothing of this until after the adoption of the child.

Well, why didn't you say something sooner?

Because I feared for my family's safety.

Does anyone else know about this?

There was another man, perhaps six months ago, in

America.

He wrote me this letter asking to see me, but I refused.

He came anyway.

Carlo Agretti?

That was the one.

As I told him, you must be careful.

Information such as I have given you, someone might kill for.

Someone already has.

Next on Falcon Crest.

No grapes?

No wine.

Now, are you coming voluntarily?

Yeah. False arrests can be costly.

So can obstruction of justice.

You borrowed my mother's car just before the accident, didn't you?

You think I tried to kill her?

You'll have to look for your suspects elsewhere.

Why? I'm looking at a woman right now who had a lifelong feud with Carlo

That's not a motive for murder.
