I present Nicholas and Victoria Hogan.

Let's go.

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 it would be killed by you.

Thank you.

Bye.

Is this really necessary? Because I really feel like a balk.

Now just relax. It's hospital policy. Besides, you're getting a free ride. I

don't want to run her any stress. Of course.

I tell you, I don't know what all the fuss is about because I feel fine. I

really do. That's all you took in the winery could have killed you.

You could get a lot of post -concussion symptoms if you start pushing him.

All right.

Hi. Hi.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

I'll be a good girl, I promise.

You two take good care of your mother now.

It's pretty tough to do when she's not even living at home. Well, she's going

be at home with us from now on.

I am?

Yes, you are.

You need us.

And we need you.

Hey.

Listen, I'm serious about this. That was a severe concussion, Maggie, and I want

to know if there are any after effects.

Don't worry, Don. We'll keep an eye on her.

Thank you.

Take care.

Beautiful.

And before long, it'll be all ours.

I'm not quite so sure of that.

You've got nothing to worry about.

Oh, really?

And we haven't even heard a word from your mother yet.

By the time she gets over the fact about Tony filing for divorce and comes

crawling back here, we'll have already made our move.

And you're sure that Tony filed for that divorce?

Oh, absolutely.

You intercepted the papers?

I thought they'd make a nice souvenir.

Yeah.

No, no, no, no, no, no. I've got it.

Just sit there now. All right. I'm not doing it for another hour. Besides, I

still remember how to do dishes, you know.

I'm glad.

I'm glad you're here, too.

You're my hero, you know. No, you are.

You are.

All week lying in that hospital bed, I kept seeing these barrels falling. You

know you could have been killed.

We both could have been killed.

Boy, I didn't realize wineries were so dangerous. Do you have accidents like

that often?

I didn't want to tell you this while you were still in the hospital.

But it wasn't an accident.

I heard footsteps running away just after it happened.

Somebody was up top, whoever it was, trying to kill us.

Oh, Chase, who would do something like that?

I don't know.

The sheriff went over the entire winery last week, but he didn't come up with

anything.

Then it must have been an accident.

Angela, come in. Hello,

Angela. Angela, hello.

I'm sorry to drop in like this, but I was on my way to the city to have dinner

with Philip, and I wanted to find out how Maggie is.

How are you? Well, I'm fine. I'm much better. You look lovely. Oh, thank you.

Please. Thank you. Well, I check the hospital every day.

I just wanted to see for myself.

Well, I'm practically good as new. Not quite. She's still got to get plenty of

rest. Oh, I understand. That's why you couldn't have visitors.

Right. Well, if it's rest you need, it's rest you're going to get.

I don't want you bothering about the plans for Vicki's wedding. I have

everything under control.

Oh, Angela, that's really not necessary. Chase and I... Vicki's wedding will be

up at Falcon Crest in the garden.

Vicki just really wants a simple wedding. Well, that's right. It'll be

But we'll have a party afterward to celebrate.

It's really not necessary. It's just going to be the family. I really want to

this for you, Chase.

And for Vicki.

I mean... After all, we are a family, aren't we?

Hello?

Yeah, Dad.

Did you find anything?

Yeah, it does seem that way, doesn't it?

Tomorrow morning?

Yes, sure.

Well, thank you for asking.

Right.

Okay, I'll meet you at your office.

Thanks again. Good night.

I'm sure that Vicki would be delighted to have a wedding up at Falcon Crest,

are you sure that you want to... Well, it's the least I can do after that

accident in my winery. As I said before, that was no accident.

Who was on the phone? The sheriff. I still know where it is to Richard's

whereabouts. With the Agretti murder hanging over his head, he's probably in

Timbuktu by now.

Well, Robbins has finally been able to convince the San Francisco court to

a search warrant for Richard's office. We're going down there tomorrow.

Well, Chase, you've done a fine job of proving his guilt in the Agretti murder.

But obviously, he's left the country.

So why don't you just relax and forget about it and enjoy your daughter's

wedding? Well, that is exactly what we're going to do. That's good. Leave

everything to me.

Angela, thank you so much. And good night. Good night. Have a lovely time.

you.

This is kidnapping.

I could have you both put behind bars for life.

Now, what the hell is going on here?

Try to relax, Mr. Channing. Relax? You talk, huh? You relax.

Now, you stay calm, and I'll stay calm.

Are you sure this is all legal?

If you have any questions, ask the sergeant. He'll explain it to you.

Find something?

No.

It's not like he made a planned departure. He's got calls to return this

full calendar.

I'm sure Mr. Chenning would have said something if he planned to be out of

And you have no idea where he could be.

No, I've been making excuses for him all week. You can't believe him and the

appointments he's missed.

Thanks for your time.

I guess that'll be it. Thank you.

Hi.

Hello. Looking for Richard, huh?

Yeah, you haven't seen him or heard from him, have you?

Not in over a week.

And that Diana Hunter woman, she's gone too.

Maybe they eloped.

Well, we haven't discovered any airline ticket purchases or foreign exchange

charges, so... Oh, no, that kind of thing would have shown up on my

Wherever Richard is, he's not spending any money.

Thanks, Emma. If you do find something, give my office a call.

Oh, sure.

Thank you.

Uh, but maybe you should talk to Philip Erickson.

He might know something.

Erickson? What does he have to do with this?

Who knows, but he was around here yesterday searching for Richard, too.

And he looked mighty worried.

Philip and Richard aren't in business together, are they?

In cahoots is more like it.

You keep up the good work.

Bye.

Are you sure?

No, no.

No, no, don't call the police.

Well, I'll be right... Where are you?

That's near the Embarcadero.

All right, I'll be right over. Thank you. I never thought you'd make that

jump. Well, I have nerves of steel, my dear.

You had better change your clothes. We're going into the city. What for?

Your mother's in town, and she's making a nuisance of herself at a waterfront

bar. That's impossible.

Careful. Watch those nerves of steel.

Well, you see, they have millions, absolutely millions of these little tiny

grapes. And they squish them.

Until there's nothing left but juice.

Speaking of juice.

How about another scotch down here?

How about some coffee instead?

I don't want any coffee.

People are always trying to buy me coffee.

He is such a grump.

Oh, I've got to get back to Falcon Crest anyway.

I've got to go squeeze some more grapes, you know.

I'll bet you're about the best darn marine in the whole world.

What is it they say? Give me a few good men.

Julia.

I'll wait in the car.

You want to stow me away?

Sure. Take me away someplace?

Maybe Shanghai?

Come on, let's go.

I'm not going anywhere with you.

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

She said she didn't want...

I'm not your pal, and that lady is my mother.

Do we understand each other?

Sure.

Sure.

Good.

Hey, sister.

How about you?

Want a drink?

It's an amazing thing, isn't it?

Because here we are, the three of us, in this little room somewhere,

and all we have to do is open the book, and in no time at all we can be

transported to another place in time.

So you see, even though we don't have our freedom, we can still be free.

Now I told you to relax, Mr. Channing.

I thought you'd be only making it harder on yourself.

Diana.

Where am I?

Huh? What the hell is all this about?

You're at headquarters.

I'm sorry about the past week. The chief was overseas on business, and I

couldn't take any chances with you. Do you have any idea how this makes me look

in California?

I've got to respond to a grand jury subpoena.

That's nothing the chief can't take care of for you.

You mean I'm actually going to have my audience with the chief?

Get him cleaned up, which I don't want the chief to see him like this

Hi

hi

I Stopped buying you weren't here.

I'm glad I wanted to talk to you

Time's gone by so fast. Last couple of weeks, I forgot to pick up my suit at

cleaners. Is this what you're wearing?

Yeah. Oh, very slick.

Blue suit.

I'm going over to my parents' house to borrow some stuff from my mother.

Something borrowed, something blue.

Since we're getting married up at Falcon Crest, I thought I'd go all out for

tradition.

Now, speaking of tradition, I hope you don't take this the wrong way.

Tomorrow, when I see you come down the aisle in your father's arms, it's going

to be a big moment for me.

I just don't want to spoil it.

By sleeping with me tonight?

I know, it sounds stupid.

Nick, it sounds sweet.

Thoughts like that make me love you even more. Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

All right, Mr. Hogan, it's TV dinners for you tonight, because the next time

see me, I'll be the sweet young thing in the white dress.

Bye -bye.

Coincidence running into you here.

And a pleasant one, I hope. Oh, it is.

I've always enjoyed seeing a good acrobat at work.

I beg your pardon? My guess is that you're working for Richard Channing,

Oh, Chase, there are some honest lawyers left, you know.

I'm sure there are.

Sally?

Sally? Did you tell Miss Channing we're here?

I think I can allay your fears.

Oh, I don't have any. How about you?

Gentlemen. Angela.

Well, you must be getting nervous for Vicki's wedding coming up so soon. Oh,

yeah. Typical father, I guess.

I talked to several of the growers this morning.

No one has received payment on their bids from Richard Channing yet.

And there's still no sign of where he could have gone.

I stopped by Channing's office myself, Angela.

As you suggested.

You sent Philip to the Globe?

Well, of course.

Richard's been gone for over a week, and I just wanted to find out if he was

going to pop up again.

With that subpoena hanging over his head, I don't think we'll see Richard

quite some time.

Well, if that's true, then we don't have to worry about him outbidding us on the

crops this year.

Of course not. The growers will come crawling to us. We can name our own

Well, certainly we'll have to pay fair market value.

Why?

After they nearly sold out to Richard?

Well, they just made the best deal they could. You can't blame them for that.

I can do more than blame them. I can make them squirm.

Look, we need friends in this valley, not enemies.

We'll see about that.

Oh, sorry. I guess I misunderstood Emma.

Emma?

What has she got to do with this?

She just told me she saw Philip at the Globe looking for Richard.

I guess I just jumped to a wrong conclusion.

I was there looking for him.

At your request.

Well, I'll be at the supervisor's office if you need me.

Come in.

You look happy to be alive.

We're finished, Chase. We're all done.

What are you talking about?

You and I both know that Charles Fong is going to give us everything we need to

finally nail Channing.

And maybe he can clear up a few other things, too, like who tried to kill

and me in the winery.

We're not going to find Charles Fong.

The only man who had any contact with him is dead.

Wilson Fong.

Yeah. This morning, stroke.

Mercy Hospital.

And since he was the only thing holding that family together, we're not going

to find Charles Fong.

Well, then he said, if you won't marry me, let me get this right, if you won't

marry me, my life will be only a trail of tears.

Dad said that?

Yes,

he did, and a lot more. Now I'm not going to tell you any of it.

I didn't think he had it in him. Oh, your father can be very romantic.

So can I.

It's one of the things I like best about him.

You really love him, don't you?

Yeah.

And he loves me.

He's really all I could ever ask for

I'm so happy for you

Then why are we crying?

You really going through with this wedding?

Oh, sure.

It's a nice family.

Good for business.

Like a man who knows how to get down business.

You like men, period.

You and I were married long enough for me to know what you like, too.

Anything forbidden.

You guessed it.

It's three o 'clock in the morning. This whole thing's absurd.

The chief works on a 24 -hour clock.

And be careful. It's not the time to be arrogant, Richard.

Well, this is very impressive.

The security, the anonymity, the goons outside, the ability to kidnap somebody

and bring them to your doorstep for some sort of holy dispensation.

Very, very impressive.

But impressive or not...

I can't be bought.

I made a deal with the North. My freedom in exchange for the California wine

industry, and I am only months away from delivery.

And nothing, not even you, mister, can stop me.

Now, who the hell do you think you are? You don't own me.

Of course I do, Richard.

You are the chief?

What about Henry Deneau?

I thought he was the real power.

Well, haven't you heard?

Women are coming into their own. Yes, but the cartel, it's a complex

organization. And it only depends upon one thing.

Power. Raw and adulterated power.

One only needs the courage to use it.

But how?

Richard, wait a minute.

Europe was another world then.

Now, remember, the war just ended.

Also, Denault wanted a baby boy.

And I need money.

Then you did sell me.

We all made compromises. We had to.

You abandoned me.

My last husband's fortune gave me enough to push Donald aside.

And I took over, knowing that I could be closer to you.

I'm touched.

How you feel about me doesn't matter.

I want you to leave California.

Never.

I am willing to give you control of the company. Oh, no. I like the weather out

there. Besides, for the first time in my life, I'm beginning to enjoy my

independence.

My power. I'm sure you can appreciate that.

Well, I'm afraid I really must insist.

I could make life very difficult for you.

And I will.

If I have to.

I'm just beginning to understand.

Sometimes I'm a little slow.

It's Chase, isn't it?

Yes. It's him you love, him you want to protect.

I tell you what, dear mother.

You want to make a deal?

I'll make you a deal.

You come near me so much as write me a letter or call me on the phone. If you

contact me in any way, I make a solemn vow.

Chase will suffer.

He's too tough for you.

What about his children? Are they too tough for me?

Or do you think I might not be able to get to them? You wouldn't dare hurt

They're safe as long as I'm safe.

And undisturbed.

Now, you hold the power of life and death over me, but I hold that same

over Chase and his family.

Of course, I have another choice.

Yes.

You could have me killed.

But you don't have the heart for that.

Well,

I think Angie's going to have a little food at the reception. Not for another

six hours.

To tell the truth, I'm not feeling very hungry.

Well, that's all right.

Butterflies?

I guess so.

Oh. Look, why don't you go upstairs, start getting ready. I'll bring you up

juice and toast, okay?

Okay.

Dad?

It looks just great.

Sure.

Sure. No problem.

More for us.

Father of the bride here.

Chase? Mother, where have you been? I've been trying to reach you for two weeks.

I'm sorry, dear. I should have told you. I just took the most wonderful cruise.

Didn't you get any messages?

Oh, just this morning.

Oh, of all the times for me to have been out of touch.

Well, there must have been a shipboard phone. I thought you always kept in

contact with your social secretary in New York.

Oh, but she was with me, of course.

You will give Victoria a big hug and kiss for me, won't you?

Of course.

But she is disappointed.

You know, there's nothing more that I would like than to be with you at a time

like this.

Au revoir, monsieur.

Au revoir.

Guess who?

She goes on a trip.

Didn't get any of your messages?

That's what she said.

She sure managed to keep in touch with Europe when she's here.

You'd think it'd work the other way around.

Yeah. He would.

Rather a spot in breakfast this morning, Charlie.

I wish it could be more.

Charlie has too much to do today to worry about our breakfast.

I don't understand why we're hosting a wedding for the Gibertis in the first

place. We're not.

I am.

And I want you there with a smile on your face.

Mother likes absolute control.

Eat your breakfast, Julia. You need something in your stomach.

Occasionally, we're better off without anything in our stomachs, Mother.

Julia's just tired.

Well, I'm tired, too.

I am sick and tired of people defying me and then coming back and think they can

pick up where they left off.

Nice day for a wedding.

Mother's just in one of her moods.

None of us is ever going to win, Emma.

The sooner we realize that, the better.

Is this okay?

Yeah, it's okay. It's fine.

You all right?

Oh, yeah, sure.

Just a little jittery, that's all.

The chopper pilot's been in tougher spots than his daughter's wedding,

he? Oh, yeah.

Well, wedding's only part of it, really.

Still got Fong on the brain?

Well, he's a key to so many questions, and we've had such a run of bad luck

this whole thing.

Dad, take some advice from the kid.

forget about it today or you're going to trip coming down that aisle and make a

fool out of yourself.

Ladies, come on. Let's shake a leg. We're going to be late.

We're coming.

I have a little unfinished business I want to take care of before the

festivities begin.

Yeah.

What is it? Is it a contract?

It's my offer for the Agretti Harvest this year.

This is a joke.

Do I look like I'm joking?

I've already got an offer at more than double this figure from Richard

Well, your friend Richard has disappeared completely.

And with the sheriff looking for him, I doubt very much if he would be

interested in your crops at this point.

Only time will tell, Angela.

Time?

Now, you have exactly one minute.

I've already whipped the rest of the growers back into line, and now it's

turn.

What if I decide not to sign this?

Then you will be the raisin queen of the Tuscany Valley.

Just leave it on my desk, Melissa dear.

We are gathered here today...

to celebrate the coming together of these two hearts.

For the love that we have in our breasts for one another is one of the most

powerful forces in the human spirit.

It is love that allows us to be tested.

It is love that sees us through the hardest of times.

It is love that endures above all else.

Without that love, we are empty vessels with no purpose.

It is love that brings us together today.

And it is love that will keep us together.

And so it is, Nicholas, that I ask if you will take Victoria as your lawfully

wedded wife to honor and cherish all the days of your life.

I do.

Do you, Victoria, take Nicholas as your lawfully wedded husband to honor and

cherish all the days of your life?

I do.

May I have the ring?

I love you.

I love you, too.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen.

May I present Nicholas and Victoria Hogan.

Oh, darling.

Oh, beautiful.

Where are you?

Oh, brother.

It's my ceremony. Oh, it was just lovely. It was just perfect.

Thank you, Angela.

Hey, hey, you two. You're already married, remember?

Yes, we do. We remember.

Well, you're a member of the family now.

It's funny how you only see families together at weddings and funerals, isn't

it?

Yeah, true.

Weddings and funerals.

Funerals.

What's the matter?

Maggie, there's something I've got to do, and I've got to do it right now.

Chase, what are you... I'll meet you at the reception.

I promise.

Trust me.

Maggie. Hi.

Can't you sit down?

No, I'm fine. Maggie. I'm fine, yes, I do.

Have you seen Chase?

Well, I'm afraid he's not here right now.

He's not here.

You mean his daughter gets married and he just disappears? Angela, I'm sure

he'll be back in a moment.

Dick!

Richard!

Congratulations. Oh, thank you.

You've got the cream of the crop.

And you are the loveliest bride I've ever seen.

Here's a little something from Tiffany.

I'll hold that for you.

Well, thank you very much, Richard. That was nice.

I guess this seems to be growing.

Call the sheriff, Charlie.

Thank you.

Well, Richard, this is a surprise.

I'm just sorry I missed the ceremony.

I was tied up, so to speak, in New York on business.

I don't see Chase anywhere.

I think it's clouding up a bit.

Let's all go inside.

Thank you.

Charles, finally you have come.

We need to talk.

You're a great man.

I'm sure he was.

Arthur, they had no appreciation for men of his greatness.

This world was not of material triumph, but of the riches of the spirit.

He should be an example for all of us.

He was an old man,

a strong man, of honor.

I have a chance to correct that.

Oh, I'm so happy for both of you. Congratulations.

Thank you. I suppose that my adorable son and his ever -loving wife probably

knew all about it before I ever went to San Diego. I really think Lance would do

something like that to you, Julia. Oh, please.

This isn't a family. It's a snake pit.

What in the hell are you doing here?

There's something you should know. Your mother's desperately ill.

Well.

And so, computer programming is really just like typing. I mean, that's really

all a computer is.

Interesting. Will you excuse us for a second? Oh, sure.

This is ridiculous.

Where is he? I don't know. I told me to trust him. What can I do? I don't know.

Sometimes I think Dad's gone off the deep end.

Will you come off of it?

You have been telling me lies from day one, lady.

I came here on my own. She didn't want you to know about her condition.

We've all got our problems.

In spite of everything, she loves you.

Why not give her a chance to prove it? She had her chance when I was born.

Richard, it could all be yours now.

I could be of great value.

I doubt that.

Without you, without a leader, the company will be torn apart.

And you better get back there and start fighting for the scraps.

I won't settle for scraps.

And I won't leave here without you.

Did you bring your goons with you?

Sheriff, nice of you to stop by.

I'm sure there's some people here you'd like to see.

Mr. Channing, I was looking for you. So I've heard. This is the subpoena calling

for your appearance before the grand jury of this county within seven days.

Aha.

I'll be happy to tell them anything I know.

He's stonewalling.

I'm not so sure.

You be careful. That fence you're walking on is beginning to shake.

Have you seen Chase?

No. Isn't he here?

No. No, I'm afraid not.

Lane, we, uh... We didn't think you were coming.

I didn't think so either.

But I only have one granddaughter.

Oh, I'm afraid you've missed the ceremony.

Well, I'm surprised you're having a reception here.

Well, you know how forceful Angela can be. And Chase and I just thought it

bring the families closer together.

Well, speaking of that handsome husband of yours, where is he?

I don't know. He's not here. Not here? No.

At Victoria's wedding reception?

Chase!

I've been so worried about you.

Oh, Chase, there's so much I need to tell you.

That can wait.

This can't.

Where did you find him? You won't need those, Dan.

Mr. Fong is here to tell us what he knows.

I'm placing you under arrest on a charge of accessory to murder.

You have the right to remain silent.

If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be

against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney and to have that attorney present during

questioning. If you desire one and cannot afford it, an attorney will be

appointed to you without charge before questioning. Do you understand these

rights?

It is time for honor and the truth.

For the Chinese in this valley, life has never been easy.

Mr. Agredi was a powerful figure, a rich man.

But he had no heart.

To him, we were nothing.

That was no reason to kill him.

My mother was never allowed to leave China.

Mr. Agredi said he would help make a loan.

He never did.

My mother was very old.

There was not much time left.

Then someone offered the money I needed. I took that money and showed the

way into Mr. Grady's house.

Through the tunnel?

Through the tunnel.

I didn't know that he would die.

That he was murdered.

I did not know that...

He would be killed by you.

He

was

going to ruin everything, wasn't he, Julia?

First he forced Melissa onto Lance, then he fought my mother at every turn.

He was going to bring Falcon Crest to its knees.

And with Melissa here, it was only a matter of time before Carlo had

in the palm of his hand.

I would have left Lance and me with nothing.

Why try to frame Cole? Why try to kill him?

And Maggie and me?

Cole was made to order. A little hothead with a history of trouble with Carlo.

He always did everything he could to undermine Lance.

And another few minutes in that garage and the Agretti murder case would have

been closed.

My accident was a fake, too.

Mr. Fong helped me set that up.

And your accident?

Well, you just wouldn't get off my back.

You're really full of surprises, aren't you, Julie?

That's right.

I've saved one more surprise just for you.

Watch it, watch it.

Next on Falcon Crest.

Your mother sleeps with my father, and then she killed him, just like a black

widow. I killed two people. Would you like to make it three?

Who is she shooting at?

I don't know.

Why did you do it? He was determined to destroy Mother and all of Falcon Crest.

Oh, Richard, don't hold everything in so much.
