Jacqueline Perrault has never loved anyone in her life but herself.

And you want to bring that woman back to Falcon Crest.

Never.

Never. I could destroy you.

Just try it.

Why don't you show some respect?

Why don't you let go of my arm?

You're wasting my time.

I really must insist.

Thank you.

Dan, this man I want to see. I'd like you to take a look. Chase, better wait

later. I'm in a bit of a rush. Where are you going?

Richard Channing's. What's going on?

This. Forensics report on Henry Denault's body. Just at my desk.

Dan.

What are you going to do about this?

I'm going to ask Mr. Channing a few questions.

I'm going with you.

The hell you are.

Look, I've got something here I believe proves Carlo Agretti was blackmailing

Richard. If that's not a motive for murder, I don't know what is.

Let's see it.

I can tell you about it on the way.

All right, get in. Keep your mouth shut when we get there. I ask the question.

Scratch all that.

Scratch it.

Why not let the obituary staff write something appropriate?

Has to be my tribute to him.

A nine -to -five hack's going to eulogize my own father after the poor

himself.

Now help me out on this, will you?

Henry Deneau.

A man who symbolizes American

ingenuity died this week.

Now, who the hell is that?

Diana? Tate?

Sheriff Robbins, Diana Hunter.

Miss Hunter?

Would you tell Mr. Channing we're here, please? Who is it?

Something I can do for you, Chase?

Yes, the sheriff would like to ask you some questions.

About Henry Denault's death.

Talk to my lawyers. I have nothing to say.

The suicide theory won't hold water.

It's not a theory.

His men discovered the body.

And now we have a report from the forensics lab.

We found traces of gunpowder in the victim's hair just above his right ear.

And his fingernails were badly bruised. Obvious signs of a life or death

struggle. Well, then perhaps you should be looking for the real killer instead

of bothering Mr. Channing. Well, frankly...

I'd very much like to examine any clothing you wore on the day he was

Are you suggesting that I killed him?

I'd appreciate your cooperation.

But I will get search warrants and subpoena your testimony if I have to.

You really are sick, aren't you?

You, you get your search warrants and your subpoenas. Until then, stay off my

property.

I've had it with Angela Channing's puppets.

Call Philip Erickson and tell him to meet me at my office.

What have you done with the information you got on Tony Cumpson? I was waiting

to see what you wanted me to do with it.

I want you to give everything you got to Lance.

If Chase is going to cause trouble, the least I can do is reciprocate.

I wonder how he'll like losing Falcon Crest, Mr.

Winemaker.

Thank you, Diana. I do appreciate this.

That was Diane Hunter.

We're all set.

What's your track down, Tony?

He's found a job in San Diego working as an offshore consultant to a major oil

company.

It seems he's finally settled down in more ways than one.

What does that do for us?

If we can get my mother down to San Diego, it'll knock her completely off

feet. And we'll be able to move in on those shares of the globe.

What makes you so sure?

You realize when I have a plan for my mother, you'll understand that there's

way she'll be able to show her face at Falcon Crest again.

Do you see what you've done to me? I don't even know what time of day it is

anymore. Does that tell you anything?

Yeah.

I'm in love.

Which is fine for my personal life, but it's wreaking havoc with my business. I

go to work late. I take long lunches. Oh, you poor thing.

I'm telling you, if I don't do something drastic, I'm going to be in big

trouble.

What do you mean drastic?

My divorce is final in two weeks. What are we waiting for?

Well, we've been so happy.

I'm afraid to change anything.

Maybe we should just live together for a while longer.

It's not the same. It's not a real commitment.

You can have such beautiful kids.

Kids?

Sheila never wanted children.

I thought you'd change your mind.

You really mean it, don't you?

You want to marry me? Yeah.

Start a family?

I've never meant anything more in my life.

Morning, Angela.

Morning, Chase.

What can I do for you?

Well, you know, we've been going over those barrels in cellar number three.

They're pretty far gone.

Looks like about $9 ,000 to replace them.

Oh?

Oh.

Maggie's working with Daryl Clayton. Doesn't seem to bother you at all.

Sure, he bothers me, but it's her decision.

How long is this separation going to last?

Hard to say, Angela.

Now, maybe we should get a cooper up here tomorrow to give us a complete

evaluation. We might be able to fix the barrel.

Some things are beyond repair, Chase.

Dan?

Chase?

Now, Sheriff, what do you want?

Good morning, Mrs. Channing.

Chase, I got those warrants. I'm headed back to Richard Channing's, and I

wondered if you'd like to come along.

Well, I didn't know that you two had become so chummy.

Well, I guess we get more done working together instead of working against one

another. Never hurts to have a county supervisor on your side.

Now, isn't that convenient?

Maybe when you get to the bottom of this, you'll have time to pull your

around here.

You ready to go?

Shall we?

Dammit, man, what took you so long?

Well, would you rather I come up the main elevators and announce myself?

Or better yet, just call Angela Channing, tell her I'm here. Oh, you're

guess I'm a little keyed up. I got this two -bit sheriff talking about subpoenas

and search warrants and the grand jury. Richard, relax.

Chase and the sheriff are just fishing.

They're simply looking for your reaction to what will undoubtedly prove to be an

idle threat.

Search warrants require probable cause.

They can't establish that.

So?

Do nothing?

Wait and see.

Precisely. I couldn't disagree more.

We've got to meet this thing head on.

Apply any pressure to get them to stop pursuing this.

For all we know, they could subpoena our financial records.

That would only create suspicion, but there's no cause for any now.

That's not company policy.

We've got to fight fire with fire.

Find a judge to put the screws to. You'll have to forgive Miss Hunter,

She frequently forgets where her loyalties lie.

You've got to think of the company. The company?

Always the company.

How often did you report to Denault?

I didn't report to Denault. He called me.

Do you want me to play your phone conversations for you?

I think I should go.

My apologies, Erickson. Call me later.

Get out of here.

Let me explain.

Your phone calls to denote reporting my every move for the past month.

There's all the explanation I need, sweetheart.

Dinalt is dead. The company could be yours now. I don't want the company. I

don't need the company.

Furthermore, I don't need you.

Actually, your voracious sexual appetite aside, you've been a terrible

disappointment.

You went to meet Dinalt on the bridge that day, didn't you?

I could destroy you.

Just try it.

How you doing?

Hello.

Say, Dave, thanks for meeting us up here.

Sure.

You had any problems?

Not since Mr. Giberti was busted up here last month.

Then nothing's changed? Nobody's tampered with anything since Agretti's

We were hired by the estate to protect the property.

This is where Pong told me to meet him.

Well? Nothing seems to be out of place.

Look at this.

Where does this go?

I get paid to guard the place, not explore it.

Dan, let's take a look.

All right.

Yeah, it goes on back into here.

That's strange.

Should have brought my machete.

What have we got here?

Looks like a root cellar or something.

I never even knew it was here.

Dave,

do you mind if we take a look? Sure, go ahead.

What in the world is all this? Well, it's sure not a wine cellar, not this

from the house.

No, no, don't touch that. We might get a print or two on it.

It's a new lock.

Obviously, somebody's been using this door recently.

I bet we could break it open with a crowbar. Gentlemen, please.

Taking a walk around the place is one thing, but I can't let you go busting

locks. Wouldn't do us any good if we did anyway.

We can't use anything there, as evident. Not without a warrant.

I can't believe it. Nothing but red tape.

I get it. The glamorous side of winemaking.

I'm not sure that I want a full -color spread, Emma. Oh, nonsense. It would be

great for Falcon Crest, and it would be good media coverage for you. Don't be

silly. Mom?

Yeah?

I talked to Tony.

You did?

He wants to clear things up with you, and he's in San Diego.

There's nothing to clear up.

He's very anxious to see you down there.

I just happened to have his address.

If he wants to talk to you so badly, why doesn't he meet you in San Francisco?

Oh, he would, but he just started a job down there.

Besides, Angela can't interfere in San Diego.

He wants to see me?

Really?

This script is a disaster.

Don't say that. It's coming along splendidly. Oh, please, Daryl, come on.

about as close to the original as a dime store novel is to the King James Bible.

You wrote the King James Bible, did you?

No.

No, no, no. I just, I don't know. I thought it was going to be different. I

thought we were going to be doing my story and... We are doing your story and

you're the one writing it. Daryl, I wrote my story about five drafts ago and

this, this...

is not it. Well, let's not forget the value of compromise.

Daryl, let's not forget the value of the original script.

This doesn't even resemble it.

And I've been working on it day and night, and I just... I'm sorry, I

Daryl, I can't do it anymore.

Okay, shh.

It's not just the script, is it?

even spending too much time on the script.

Has that occurred to you?

Too much time alone?

Daryl, please don't come on to me. Maggie, Maggie, you don't have to be

I am not alone.

In spite of everything that has happened, I still have my family. Yeah,

the children, but Chase, he's just part of the past, Maggie.

so dense.

You are incredibly dense.

I mean, I have been sitting here telling you that I am tearing my insides out

over this lousy script, that I am worried sick about my husband and my

you persist in coming on like a high school sophomore. Now, wait a minute.

You gotta give me a chance.

You owe me that much, Maggie.

Come on. I don't owe you anything.

I do owe you a final draft of my screenplay.

And since you won't protect the integrity of it, I will. And this next

going to be for me. I am going to write it my way. And as for you and your star

Gloria Marlowe, I think I can pass on the glorious opportunity of working with

the two of you. And if you don't like this script, then I suggest you write it

yourself, if you can.

Maggie.

Maggie, be sensible.

I'll have your script by next week. Have my check ready, all right?

But they don't start serving till dinner. Mom, it's okay.

We're just glad to see you.

Well, I'm glad to see you, too.

So... Vicki and I have been talking about getting married. You know that?

How does two weeks from Friday grab you?

Two weeks from Friday?

Don't you think you guys might wait a little bit longer? Mom, it's just... All

right, all right.

Two weeks? I mean, it doesn't give you a chance to plan anything.

We'd just like to keep it simple. Just the family at the courthouse.

All right, if you want a small wedding, but no, no, no, not at some depressing

courthouse. Well, we'd rather have it at home, but the way things are with you

and Dad... Vicki.

Your father and I can put our differences aside long enough to give

daughter a decent wedding.

Maggie, Chase...

isn't exactly crazy about this idea.

Don't worry.

Just leave Chase to me, okay?

How long before we know something?

Well, he's brought along file copies, prints, everybody concerned with this

case, from Angela Channing all the way to Carlo Agretti himself.

He even got your fingerprints in there, Chase.

Oh, how efficient of you.

Thought you'd like it. Got it, Sheriff.

Good, clean print. Okay, let me know if you get a match.

Will do.

What's in there?

Well, it's just a tunnel cut through solid rock.

You know, it looks like it leads to the Agretti house.

I bet this is one of those wine cellar catacombs dug back in the 1890s by the

Chinese workers.

Could be. It's nothing more than underground access to the house now.

Yeah, by the looks of that lock, it's a fairly recent access.

Sheriff? Yeah?

I think I've got something.

Okay.

This is as good a fingerprint match as I've ever seen.

Only one man touched that lock.

Charles Fong.

Thanks, Elliot.

Anytime, Sheriff.

Jimmy?

Tag this for evidence. Get on to dispatch.

Tell them I want an APB on Charles Fong and I want it now.

What possible motive could Charles Fong have had?

I'm not sure he had one.

My guess is he opened that door for someone who did.

Richard Channing?

Richard wanted this property badly enough. He'd have killed to get it.

This is no time for you to leave, Julia.

Tony wants me.

It's the perfect time.

I know you.

You'll go for one moment of passion and then you'll come sniveling back here.

Not this time, Mother.

And don't believe those stories about strength in numbers.

Mother gave me the proxy for her shares of the New Globe.

Well, I may not run the Globe, but I do run Falcon Crest.

You walk out that door and you're through here.

Goodbye, Mother.

Well, you've just doubled your workload.

I want a daily lab report on all vintages.

Starting today.

Mr. Fong.

Zhao Liqi.

The Fong family is honored.

I regret that this is not a time of honor for your family. The police are

looking for your nephew, Charles.

That is not business. That concerns you.

I don't care if Charles is guilty or innocent of the Agretti murder.

He is innocent.

Then he must come forward with what he knows.

This country has strange notions of justice, Chalici.

Charles must speak up.

He must tell the truth or the Farn family shall forever be disgraced and

in the eyes of all.

You come out.

There is nothing to do.

There is no family.

My key.

You don't think I'd leave the locks unchanged?

You don't trust anyone, do you? What do you want?

It's not what I want. It's what the chief wants.

The chief?

What is this?

You're instructed to come to New York for a meeting.

With the chief?

Face to face.

Have you ever met him?

I only receive written and coded instructions.

I must say, he certainly has a flair for the dramatic.

I'd like to be able to report that you're on your way.

Oh, you would, would you?

Let me reiterate, just in case you haven't made my position clear to the

that be.

I no longer belong to the company.

Now, if the chief wants a meeting, you tell him to come and see me.

Now, good night.

Get out!

Oh, what a day. I've been running around with the sheriff, made two trips out to

the exact place.

Well, well, well.

I didn't realize you were getting together this evening. I invited Mom.

Of course.

Something has come up, and we, um... Well, actually, they wanted to talk to

Vicki and I...

I'm getting married two weeks from Friday.

Really?

Well, since the age -old tradition of asking the father for his daughter's

in matrimony has been so cavalierly dispensed with, I want to thank you all

dropping by. Now, if you'll excuse me. Chase, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

listen to them.

I mean, they're going to get married with or without your approval.

What's the point of all this? The point is we want your approval. We need your

approval.

Vicki needs a father.

I always will, Dad.

Honey, I know.

You'll always have one.

Chase, no part of my relationship with Vicki has been easy on you, on her, or

me.

But things will improve with your help, with your love.

Come on, Dad.

Nick's not such a bad guy, you know?

I know, I know. It's just... Chase.

It doesn't mean you're losing her.

Listen, uh... Dispose the, uh... Father of the

bride could be the best man as well.

Certainly.

Cole, would you get some champagne?

Yeah.

We can also celebrate the fact that it looks like we've almost got enough to

prove that Richard Channing was behind the whole Agretti thing.

If you'll excuse me. Where are you going?

I'm sorry. I just, um, I got a lot of work to do.

Oh, Maggie, we're celebrating now.

Besides, you should be here when we call Jacqueline with the news.

I'm going to call Jacqueline. It's four o 'clock in the morning, Paris time.

It's just... Maggie, what is the problem now?

Well, for one thing, you're complete insensitivity.

I mean, this is one of your daughter's most important moments, and you're

thinking about Richard Channing.

And be sure to tell Jacqueline that you're trying to prove her other son

of murder. I mean, she's going to get a big kick out of that. Maggie.

to say the look on Richard's face when he finds out we control Julia's shares

the New Globe.

Things are certainly going to start to change around here.

The only thing that's going to change at Falcon Crest is my patience with you

two.

Good night, Angela.

Excuse me?

Do you really sleep next to her with both eyes closed?

Well,

Chase, everything all right?

Oh, yes. I had to get out for a walk. I saw your lights on. I thought I might as

well stop in and give you the news in person.

Vicki's getting married.

Nick Hogan?

The man with the foam rubber spine?

Nick's gone through some changes. Maybe he'll be good for her.

Well, he isn't still married, I take it.

It's just going to be a small family wedding. We'd like everyone to come.

Maybe it'll give us a chance to heal some old wounds.

Or rip them open again.

Maybe once and for all you can bury the hatchet with Jacqueline.

Jacqueline?

Is she coming?

I haven't been able to reach her, but I assume she'll want to be here.

You don't believe that nonsense about her putting her family above everything

else.

Don't act so surprised, Angela.

The family's important, Mother.

I'm surprised that she didn't put you in the orphanage alongside of Richard.

That's not fair.

She didn't have any choice, and you know it. It was just after the war. Europe

was still in turmoil.

By the time she got back to France, Richard had already been adopted.

And you believe all those lies.

What lies?

You tell me.

I found all of this in Europe.

Henry Denault had quite a history.

Denault was connected with the Nazis, huh? He sold secrets to the Germans all

during the war.

And an infant son immediately gave him a new identity.

What does this have to do with my mother?

She knew who Denault was. She drove a hard bargain and she walked out a very

wealthy woman.

She gave up her own baby voluntarily?

She didn't give him up.

She sold him.

She couldn't have.

She didn't love Richard and she doesn't love you.

Jacqueline Peralta has never loved anyone in her life but herself.

That's not true.

And you want to bring that... that woman back to Falcon Crest.

Never.

Never.

Yes. Is Tony Compson home, please?

No.

Was he expecting you? No, no. I wanted to surprise him. I'm his wife.

Didn't you get the papers?

What papers?

Well, he filed for divorce over three months ago.

How do you know that?

Well, he and I are going to be married.

As soon as your divorce is final.

I'd say it's a pretty good idea, wouldn't you?

Yes.

When are you due?

Ten weeks.

I see.

Um, look, Tony will be home in another hour or so.

Why don't you come on in?

I'll fix you some coffee.

Come in.

We could talk about it.

I don't want to talk.

All right.

Hey, I hear you.

Oh.

Maggie, come in, come in. Here.

Final draft, I promised you.

Well. Finished so soon, I was quick.

This is first draft. I don't get it. Final draft and first draft.

I've written my last words on the script.

Oh, now, Maggie, something's upset you. Why don't you just come in? We'll have a

drink. We'll talk about it.

No, no more ego booster. No more psyching me up. I have had it.

Maggie, if you back out now, you could lose your screen credit.

Well, to be quite honest with you, Daryl, nothing would make me happier

I really don't want to be identified with you. I resent that. I paid you good

money. Well, I have a few resentments of my own. And the money that you paid

me... No, no, no. The money I earned hardly begins to cover the emotional

of putting up with your ego trips and Hollywood cronies and your endless

attempts at seduction. And the bottom line... Now, you see, I'm using one of

your little Hollywood phrases.

The bottom line is that I have... More important things to worry about than

little movie.

Anyway, after some time in the stainless, about 72 hours, the grape

converts into carbon dioxide and alcohol.

How did you learn all this?

Working at it, I guess.

Anyway.

After fermentation, we draw the wine into these aging barrels for about two

months. Solid particles settle. We draw the wine off, leaving the residue

behind. Very interesting.

Getting the cook's tour, huh?

Yeah. It's really amazing.

That's amazing how much false information Golden Boy here can tell the

with. Plants get lost.

Didn't I hear you say something about initial fermentation taking 72 hours and

couple of months aging?

Try 96 hours and 30 months aging. It's more like it.

Just leave us alone.

All right.

Okay.

He's the genius who mistakenly thought he was the father of my child.

Lamb?

Aren't we going into the city?

Oh, that's right.

We'll go shopping for baby clothes for Joseph.

Please. We don't need any more detention in this family.

What are you doing?

Why don't you show some respect?

Why don't you let go of my arm?

That's enough. Enough.

Let's go.

I'm not finished with you, Carl.

You hear me?

I'm not through with you.

Philip Erickson.

Philip. Angela. I have the most marvelous news.

Really?

The sheriff is serving Richard.

With those search warrants and that subpoena.

Isn't that wonderful?

Indeed.

Absolutely wonderful.

Now, he'll be too busy to bother with those schemes to ruin Falcon Crest.

Well, that should give you some solace, Angela.

Well, it will give me more time to put Lance and Melissa in their place.

Good.

Well, bye.

My reporter's called in.

You haven't done anything, so don't worry.

I've got a reputation to protect, Erickson.

The last thing I need is to be colored as a murder suspect.

Well, I might be able to get the subpoena quashed for the time being.

it. But that might just generate even more suspicion.

Well, you're the big San Francisco legal legend. What would you do?

The one thing they least expect, cooperate with them.

You have nothing to hide.

So make him a lie, not an adversary.

All right, I'll do it.

Listen, just between you and me, if anyone had the strongest motives for

Carl O 'Grady, my money's on Angela Channing.

Hello, Richard.

What are you doing here?

I came to take you back to New York with me.

Oh, you did, did you?

You know, Diana, that's always been one of your biggest problems.

You don't listen.

I told you before to give my regrets to your boss, your chief.

Oh, I did.

And they weren't accepted.

Which is why I'm here to take you back with me.

You're wasting my time.

Oh, Richard, I really must insist.

What are you trying to do, huh?

Oh, and another thing. All the cabernet and pinot has got to be punched down

first thing tomorrow. I don't want that cap crusting up.

All right?

Thanks.

Hi.

How's it going?

Fine. Fine. Good.

Yeah, with a few minor exceptions, everything's hunky -dory.

As a matter of fact, you'll be seeing the results of my work on the Agretti

case. But then, you don't want to hear about that, do you?

I already heard.

You really think Richard did it?

It's looking that way.

Just as it looks like you've accepted the, what would you say, the status quo

our relationship.

No.

No, I haven't accepted that. As a matter of fact, I've taken a step to change

it.

By facing the fact that I've made some mistakes.

Quit working on the movie.

You mean you finished your last draft?

No, no, no. No, I quit.

Turned down the job as associate producer.

You did?

Mm -hmm.

No more writing drafts, no more Hollywood, no more Daryl Clayton.

You know, your script and all had nothing to do with our... I know.

I know, I just, uh... I didn't want to put anything...

between us. I, geez, I love you so much.

Next on Falcon Crip.

I present Nicholas and Victoria Hogan.

Hey, hey, hey, you heard the lady, pal.

She said she doesn't want... I'm not your pal. And that lady is my mother.

What if I decide not to sign this? Then you will be the raisin queen of the

Tuscany Valley.

I did not know that he would be killed by you.
