I

know

my rights! What's going

on? Some kind of a joke.

Thank you.

There we are.

Oh, my.

Isn't this something?

You certainly have done well for yourselves, haven't you?

Oh, it's been a lot of hard work.

Oh, don't give me that.

First, Chase inherited this place from his father, and then his mother left him

a nice little bundle.

That's right. This was my father's house.

I'll take these things upstairs.

Okay. Thank you.

Is that coffee I smell? Oh, it is coffee.

Madame, you'd like a cup?

It's nice and fresh.

You look great.

Thanks.

Well, I, uh, I wish you'd called and let us know you were coming. And spoil the

surprise? Don't be silly.

How's Cole?

He is in Tahoe on his honeymoon.

What?

You mean my little nephew got married and I wasn't even invited?

Well, it's a sort of a last -minute thing.

But he's just a kid.

I know.

You know, it seems like yesterday you and Chase came to Dad to tell him you

getting married.

Well, we didn't exactly tell him. We asked him.

Of course.

But you were always the kind to need permission, weren't you?

You take a black still, right?

Right.

How is Dad?

Great. He's just great.

It's not every day you send him a check for $25 ,000 to take a trip.

Well, he called right after he got the check, but then we hadn't heard from him

since then, so I was concerned.

He's just so busy talking to travel agents.

Oh, good.

Good. Then he is going to use it. I was hoping he would. Of course. I thought

he'd like to travel again, you know?

I'm going to the winery. I know you girls have a lot of catching up to do.

You bet we do.

And just as soon as I finish sleeping off this cross -country haul, I expect a

guided tour of this famous wine country.

See you later, honey.

You sure got yourself one good catch there.

Just because Chase has come into some good fortune doesn't mean we should let

him lead us around by the nose.

New pumps are a waste of money.

I will be the judge of that, young man. And if you're as smart as you think you

are, you'll realize that Chase is no fool.

Now where are you going?

I thought I might go upstairs and ask my wife to join me for a nice quiet dinner

away from this house.

It should be quiet.

I doubt if Melissa will be here.

Why do you say that?

She said she had to go into the city and see her father's attorneys.

Well, then I'm sure she'll be back soon.

Oh, really?

Well, I had Philip call the attorneys, and she doesn't have an appointment.

I think that the mother of your future child is somewhere close to Richard

Channing.

These are going to be some fine -producing vineyards with a little work.

You're determined to make me a man of the soil and the vine, aren't you,

Come on.

A couple more months here and you'll wonder how you could have lived anywhere

else. I tell you, Baltimore seems a lifetime away.

I'll bet.

Who could this be?

Dr. Ranson.

Yes, sir?

Harrison Albright.

I'm bored of the hospital. What's he doing here?

I don't know.

Oh, good to see you.

You know my cousin, Chase Giverdy? Yes.

Good to see you. I've heard a lot about you. I trust you're feeling better. Yes,

I am, thanks.

Chase is helping me get a feel for the valley.

Well, I think that what I'm here to offer you will give you the feel you're

looking for, Doc.

Really? What's this?

I want you as my chief of staff.

That contract spells out rather favorable terms. I'm sure you'll agree.

You serious?

Very.

What about Arthur Hooks?

Well, he came to me with the news that he decided to affiliate with a new

hospital in San Diego.

He decided?

Actually, it's probably the best thing all around. I discovered that Dr. Hooks

had been playing politics with my hospital.

Does he know about this?

Absolutely. He's in full accord.

All right, I'll sign it.

Wonderful.

Right there, doctor.

I've already signed your copy.

You see?

You have made me a very happy man.

You made me a very happy man, too, Mr. Albright. See, I have a philosophy about

hospital administration and politics. I don't think they mix.

Maybe that was Dr. Hooks' downfall, and maybe, just maybe, you fired him because

when you pushed buttons, he didn't respond.

Well, in any event, Dr. Hooks already has another position, so I... You forced

him to find one, didn't you?

To cover up the mess at the hospital you've gone so far as to fire your chief

staff. Let me tell you something, Mr. Albright. I'm going to hold you to this

contract. And from the fat offer you made me, I doubt if you'll try to buy me

off before I ask some hard questions about Dr. Lantry and that hospital.

Now, just a minute. I will not abide any scandal.

If you think I'm afraid of a scandal, you're wrong. And you're sure as hell

wrong if you think I'm afraid of the truth.

Picked a good man.

Oh,

don't

worry.

Don't get used to it.

Why don't you just try and get some sleep?

I hurt too much to sleep.

Well, now, the last thing you want to do is to walk into that kitchen tired

before the day's work even starts.

You know Ella will try to break you for sure.

How'd you get so tough?

You walk North Beach, hustling johns and dealing drugs as long as I have, you'd

be tough, too.

Isn't it past your bedtime, Valerie?

Yes, ma 'am.

You look terrible.

Yeah.

I need some rest.

Privileges like that don't come free, you know.

My mother already paid you in advance.

You don't know when you've got it good.

All I want is a drink.

Just one little drink, okay?

Somebody's got to pay the bills.

another brandy. Oh, I got a stack of notes at home from my racetrack

to work on tonight. Oh, come on.

One more. How about it? Jay, aren't you being a little obvious?

I beg your pardon?

She just got here this morning and you're already avoiding her.

Don't you get the feeling that your sister's just here on a husband -hunting

expedition? She better be careful. They're an endangered species.

What about Lantry? He's been married a couple times. Isn't he a likely

candidate? Very funny.

Yeah, and he sure seems to know how to spend money.

He's not alone.

You know the pharmacist, Ackerman?

He's in partnership with him on a racehorse.

Ackerman? Again?

He doesn't make that kind of money, does he?

But his name keeps coming up. We should find out just how close Lantry and

Ackerman are.

Hi, I'm from Richard Channing's office.

You know the newspaper?

Uh, I gotta get these papers to him. My boss said they're pretty important.

Do you have any ID?

Oh, I just started this crummy job last week. I guess personnel is a little slow

in issuing out the ID cards.

Jesus, you'll have to stand up.

What

was

that all about?

Oh, probably some tourist wants a winery tour.

Maybe somebody was trying to break in.

That's why I pay a security staff.

To make sure no one does.

coffee, honey?

No, I've got to run. I'm meeting Michael at the county building.

Honey, I thought maybe we could take Terry on a little tour of the valley

What do you... No.

It's them. They're back.

Wow.

Hello. Hi. Hello. Welcome home.

Hi again. Welcome home, Emily.

Thank you.

So, how was Tahoe?

Good doing, buddy. Good. How are you doing? Good.

It was great.

It was great, but it's great to be back. Oh, it's great to have you back.

Have you heard from my father?

I think your dad's been kind of busy.

We tried calling him a couple times from Lake Tahoe. He wouldn't talk to us.

Well, wait till you see what I have done with the guest house.

Whose car is that?

Oh, we have another house guest.

And I have an appointment.

See you all later. Okay, bye. You will never get toothed here. Come on. It's

going to be a surprise.

Cole!

Harry. How's my favorite nephew?

Terrific. You look fabulous.

What'd you find out? Ackerman's a hospital employee. At least I was able

to his payroll records.

Come on.

This income hardly qualifies him for membership in the thoroughbred set. I

that, Cosby. I know that. But there's always a chance of outside income.

source, something.

Maybe I should ask the Board of Supervisors to open a formal

Let's keep that on the back burner. We don't want to stir up any controversy

until we're absolutely sure what we're into.

Now, I have a duty to the people of this county. I realize that.

I've got one to the hospital.

I can't afford to ruin the morale of the entire staff.

Michael, if someone on the staff is guilty of misconduct, won't it improve

morale to dig him out? Eventually, yes.

But right now, we don't have anything solid. All we've got is hunches. That's

right. And so far, they sure as hell have paid off, haven't they? What are

afraid of?

I'm not afraid of anything, as long as it's the truth.

I don't think we've got anything to worry about.

I hope she has a girl this time.

Wouldn't that be perfect, Mother? One of each.

Drink your juice.

Melissa? Excuse me.

Melissa?

Aren't you going to have any breakfast today?

I really don't have much of an appetite.

That's because you've been dining out so late. That was me that Richard Kneeler

ran over last night.

Really? Why didn't you join us for dinner? The fettuccine was wonderful.

Doesn't it even matter to you that you're carrying my baby?

Don't be so sensitive.

The only reason I stay in touch with Richard is to maintain him as an ally.

We may need his friendship one day.

Then why all the sneaking around?

It won't do us any good for Angela to find out, now will it? Well, she already

has her suspicions, and so do I.

Don't you see?

The more that she and Richard believe that you and I aren't getting along, the

better it will be for us in the long run.

I'm not buying it, Melissa.

Don't be jealous.

Chase is firmly entrenched here. We may need Richard someday.

Wrong! I can take care of Chase, and I don't need Richard Channing to do it.

What's going on out here?

Nothing, Grandmother. Just having an argument about her going horseback

today.

Well, that's hardly the thing for an expected mother.

Oh, I don't know.

In my case, it might be just the thing I need.

How are the little lovebirds doing?

Pretty good.

How long are you planning to stay, Terry?

Oh, just long enough to get the lay of the land, so to speak.

Extended vacation, huh?

You might say that.

You know, I was sort of hoping to see some of this famous wine country today.

You wouldn't by any chance be in the mood to show your dear old aunt some of

sights now, would you?

Sure, why not?

We've only got a few more bags to put in the house.

Cole, we haven't even unpacked the bags yet.

Listen, tomorrow's Saturday and all the wineries will be open, so I'll take you

myself.

Sure. Sounds great.

You married a girl just like your old mom, huh?

Linda's a great girl, Terry.

Hey, I'm sure she is.

You don't have to defend her.

So, what's a girl supposed to do around here for entertainment?

Don't you guys do anything besides sit around and stare at all these plants?

They're called grapevine.

Right.

Say, didn't I see some nice little hot spots on the other side of the valley on

my way in?

There's nothing over there but a bunch of sleazy bars. If you go in the other

direction, you might find some nice little cafes and shops.

Great. Well, I'll see if I can find something.

A souvenir to take home would be nice.

Great.

We'll bench test these for final adjustments before we put them online.

Now, when did these come in?

This morning.

I thought you were going to talk to Angela before ordering new pumps.

There's nothing to talk about. The old ones are shot.

Look, we can overhaul the old ones at half the price.

Yeah, and maintain them at twice the price.

You don't go spending our money without consoling us first, Chase.

Pack them up, guys. They're going back. Stay with it.

We'll use these for tomorrow's racking.

Tell you what.

When you supervise your racking, you use the old pumps.

When I run my rackings...

I'll use the new ones, okay? I'll pay for them out of my pocket. Won't cost

or Angela a dime. It's fine with me.

And you pay for maintenance on the old ones.

Ah, separate but equal. I like that, Chase. I like that a lot. As a matter of

fact, maybe to teach you the value of experience.

Isn't there some quaint American homily about the early bird and the earthworm?

Well, along with several about the pleasures and penalties of sin. Fix me a

of coffee.

Would you?

Please?

Of course. How silly of me.

Executive assistant does not equate with secretary, does it?

Hardly. Hardly.

David, would you bring me a double espresso? Very hot.

Make that two, David.

Now, do you really think that an early afternoon rendezvous at the Tate

And a late supper at Pascal's with Melissa O 'Gretty Compton will

anything?

It makes certain people down at Falcon Crest off balance and apparently makes

you jealous. I love suede. Oh, I really do. It feels so good. So soft and

supple. Of course, that's only after repeated stroking and manipulation under

great force.

And it also keeps the chill out.

Thank you, David. Thank you.

Oh, I got your housewarming invitations out this morning. Good.

I thought I'd understand why we have to socialize with the agricultural

proletariat. It's a way of getting the masses all marching in the same

direction.

That guy was in a condition.

Tell me.

About two weeks.

You killed it.

Well,

well. This joint's finally getting some class.

Excuse me, sugar.

How you doing there? I'm Ernie.

This here's my friend Pete.

We sure would like to buy you a drink. A drink?

And then what?

The band?

Sure, why not?

And then we go out in the parking lot and discuss my place or yours.

Well, yeah, absolutely.

My place, your place, any place.

I can just see it now, the two of you guys hanging around Falcon Crest.

Hey, Charlie, get us a couple beers up here, will you?

Sure did.

Thanks a lot.

Excuse me.

Did I hear you mention Falcon Crest?

Stay nearby.

The Gioverdi. You know them.

I might say that.

Hey, shooter.

Get lost.

Pardon me?

What he's trying to tell you, but... This lady, take it.

You know these groups?

Give me some credit.

Come on, how about that damn...

You okay?

Does it hurt?

Not really.

I'm gonna make it feel better.

It's working.

Well, we've got assault, battery, malicious mischief, and destruction of

property. I'll pay for all the damage. That's not the point, Lanson. You know

it. You got a bunch of witnesses in there willing to swear it was self

but I know you.

You didn't have to break heads and wreck the place.

You're right.

Cuff me. Send me up the river.

Don't push your luck.

If you weren't Angela Channing's grandson, I... Angela Channing?

Then you're from Falcon Crest?

Miss Hartford, here's your driver's license.

I don't think that Chase and Maggie would be too pleased to find you hanging

around in a bar like that.

Let's not tell them, okay?

Thanks for keeping me out of this. Just be careful where you toss your drinks

next time.

I didn't mean to start anything.

Hi,

Michael. What happened to you? He was defending my honor.

Terry, what are you doing here?

Hi! What are you...

doing out here in California? Well, it's a long story. It's called a change of

lifestyle. Maggie said you were visiting. I didn't expect to find you

No, well, Lance was just showing me some of the sights.

Oh, I see.

Well, um, we got a couple years to catch up on. You want me to drive you back to

the Givertis? Well, actually, my car's back at this place called the Corral.

We can start catching up on the way back.

Thanks again.

Oh, sure. Anytime.

Well, what happened to you?

I was checking temperatures last night in the winery, and I bumped my face.

Perhaps we need better lighting in the winery.

I never knew winery work could give one the smell of cheap beer.

Learn something new every day, don't you?

Mother, look what's on the society section of the Tuscany Valley News.

Cole married Linda Caproni. Bill Hope.

That rascal.

Isn't love great?

She seems upset.

This place is called The Corral. Your version of Studio 54, I think.

Oh, honey, here, let me help you. Nothing to it. A little coffee and

Better eat.

Thank you. I have this rotten headache.

Well, come on, eat something. That shouldn't help.

You should have... I've seen the look on Michael's face when he saw me at that

hospital.

Oh, yeah.

Probably matched the look on my face when I heard from the sheriff this

He's cute, isn't he? And from what I gather, we have some very interesting

relatives around here.

Maybe, uh, until you leave, you should sort of stick with Maggie.

Sure. Let's go out tonight, Maggie. I'm dying to meet this Angela Channing.

Well, I'm afraid not tonight. Well... Mr.

Uberti? Yes.

From Richard Channing. Oh, hello.

There you go. Thank you.

What is it, honey?

Richard, looks like an invitation.

Yes? to celebrate the new residence of one of the Tuscany Valley's leading

citizens next Sunday, 2055 Hilltop Road.

Oh, another housewarming.

Boy, he really does like playing the role of host, doesn't he? A party. I'll

have to find something to wear.

Leading citizens.

Staggering humility.

Lance told me about you and Richard Chase.

This should be fun.

We don't have to go, you know.

Well, honey, I do work for the man.

Of course we're going.

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Papa?

We tried calling you.

I read the newspaper.

Don't shut me out like this.

Mr. Caproni, Linda and I are family now.

We want you to be part of that.

Linda needs your love.

No, you don't.

You don't need your father anymore.

You were all I had.

All I ever had.

You turned your back on me.

You want to be a grown -up?

Independent? On your own without me?

That's what you will be.

On your own.

I don't care anymore.

Your mom is gone and now you leave me.

Get out!

Mr. Caproni. I don't have a daughter anymore.

Get out!

Linda?

Linda?

A love letter.

You got a guy waiting on you, huh?

No.

Hey.

Is it true that they read everything

that you send out of here?

Oh, yeah.

It's just another one of their ways of keeping us down.

Is there any other way to get a message out?

What's the matter? You planning a breakout?

No.

I want to get word to my mother to send more money to Corrine.

Julia, you're crazy getting involved with her. All she's going to do is bleed

you dry.

But without her, I ain't gonna make it in here.

If you let Corrine Powers get you hooked, you ain't gonna get out of here

Hooked?

I'm not on drugs or anything.

Not yet, you ain't.

I mean, today it just might be booze.

But tomorrow it's gonna be something else. I mean, I know it. I've seen it.

And here's another thing.

If you want something from the outside, the last thing you do is put it in

writing.

Okay? Now, my lawyer's going to visit today.

I'll have him call your mother.

You'd do that for me?

Mm -hmm.

Okay.

You have your lawyer call my mother and tell her to send Corrine Powers more

money. Oh, Julia.

Okay? Just for a little while.

Just so I can get some rest.

Okay?

Mr. Erickson's car just pulled up, Miss Channing. Oh, thank you, Charlie.

Charlie?

Angela?

We have to talk.

Charlie, why did you bring Mr. Erickson a brandy? He looks like he needs one.

You're going to need one yourself.

What's the matter?

I had breakfast this morning with a member of the Tuscany Valley Hospital

of Directors.

Michael Ranson has been named chief of staff at the hospital. He and Chase are

conducting an examination of all the hospital's records.

What's our exposure?

Well, if they finally close in on Lantry and he talks, our liabilities

are unlimited.

I should handle this personally.

On the contrary, Angela.

You've got to completely dissociate yourself from Lantry.

Charlie.

Will you call Dr.

Lantry and invite him to tea this afternoon?

And if he's unavailable?

Tell him it's a command performance.

Angela.

Okay. Oh, did you talk to the lawyer?

Yeah, we're all set.

Well, what did he say?

Well, it's not a he.

They won't say much over the phone, but don't worry about it.

It'll work out.

I just wanted to offer my congratulations.

Thank you.

Got yourself in a pretty tight spot, didn't you?

I know how you feel about Cole.

And about me. Do you really?

Yes.

And in spite of everything that's happened between us in the past,

just hope someday maybe we can put our differences aside.

Does it really matter if we do?

It does to Cole.

He'd like to spend more time with his son.

You haven't spent much time outside that little family bakery of yours. So let

me fill you in on a couple of details.

Cole is never going to get his hands on Joseph.

He's my child and nobody else's.

And you, you're not going to stick around long enough for cheap bread to

Melissa, you may not understand this, but Cole and I share something that you

and Lance never had.

Real love.

The sad truth of the matter is that Cole can't get me out of his mind.

Sounds like the bearings are shot.

What do you know about it?

Babies are past their prime. They got plenty of life in them, Cole.

Leave me alone.

Yep. There's a lot of life left in those old pumps.

Uh -huh.

Here's another one.

200 gross of barbiturates.

Ordered and delivered.

That's not inventoried.

Hello?

Hi, honey.

What? You've got to be kidding. What the heck for?

Ah, uh -huh.

Yeah, he's here right now.

Okay, we'll pick you up on the way. Bye -bye.

That was Maggie.

We've been invited to afternoon tea up at Falcon Crest.

Afternoon tea?

What in the world for?

Apparently, Angela's promised to answer all of our questions about Dr. Lantry.

I think you'll like this. It's a new long blend that Charlie prepared just

me.

Lance, I thought you were racking the Cabernet 81.

I was.

Well, you're a mess. What happened? I had an accident.

With a Cabernet? Yes, one of my pumps blew a gasket. I'll have it fixed by

tomorrow. I want it racked today.

My new pumps are in the storage room on the south wall. Be my guest.

No, thanks.

Lance?

Can I change first?

Good business and pride don't mix.

I'll write you a check first thing tomorrow on our half of the new pumps.

Fine. Now, will you kindly tell me why you called us here? I have a lot to do.

Just be patient.

Angela, I'm afraid I have to get back to the hospital.

Ask the deputy to join us, please.

Hello. So nice to see you. Well, it's my pleasure. Nice to see you.

Lovely afternoon.

We thought this would be a perfect setting to hear the truth.

I'm afraid you're being a bit too enigmatic for me, Mrs. Channing.

Maybe I can clarify matters, Doctor.

Mrs. Channing has discovered that you sold barbiturates to her grandson Lance

illegally. Now, wait a minute, Erickson. I want to... The same pills that almost

killed our baby Joseph.

We had private detectives check you out, Doctor. You're a dangerous man, and

nothing less than a criminal.

Wait a minute. Wait.

Wait a minute. There's no need to wait, Chase.

Dr. Lantry, I'm placing you under arrest. Do you have the right to remain

silent? I know my rights! What's going on? Some kind of a joke.

No, it's not.

That woman framed me!

She said the grandson of my older sister framed me!

What is this?

Such desperation.

It's so sad.

It's really incredible.

I think you owe Angela your thanks for getting to the bottom of this.

And an apology.

There's no need for an apology, Philip.

I don't know how and I don't know why, but you're deeply involved in this and I

intend to prove it.

Let's go.

Poor boy.

Such delusions.

The fees of Smith, Glenn, and Hodstead run from $150 to $2 .25 per hour.

I've heard you're the best firm for the job.

I'm willing to pay for it.

Well, custody suit isn't the kind of thing we can settle with a couple of

of work.

Will $10 ,000 get the ball rolling?

We want custody of Joseph Smith, and we are willing to fight for it.

But I'm going to tell you both one thing. How badly you want your son has

nothing to do with the outcome.

The courts only care about the welfare of the child.

And that case will win.

But the welfare of the child is only determined by the evidence presented to

court. And this is going to take a lot of time, a lot of money, Cole.

And even in the best of circumstances, the odds are better than 101 against

I don't care what the odds are.

I want my son.

Hard ride?

Working out some aggressions.

Lance, I know how you feel.

But you have to believe me, there is nothing going on between Richard and me.

Right, and I believe in the Easter Bunny, too.

I'm only keeping Richard in our corner. The day is going to come when we're

going to need him to fight Angela. Don't count on me, Melissa.

You and Richard are no match for my grandmother.

With your help, we are.

I know where I stand with you, Melissa, and I'll tell you something.

I'm going to do everything I can to ruin your plans to undermine Falcon Crest.

But why?

You could have it all. What, with you?

You haven't changed since the day I met you, Melissa. You're still a sneaky

little slut.

And any power I'm going to get is going to come from Angela Channing herself.

You're wrong about that, Lance. Well, that's your opinion.

No, that's the truth.

And I can prove it.

But I don't have an alternative.

It's all I can do for her now.

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Vicente.

Angela, what's the matter?

That's a lawyer named Vicente. He has a client in Julia's cell block.

And Julia is still having problems with the guard.

I'll file a formal complaint with the Department of Corrections.

No. That'll only make things worse.

Philip.

I want you to take another thousand dollars in cash to Corrine Powers.

How can you sit still for this extortion?

Damn it, I don't care about the money. I care about my daughter.

Feeling better?

About what?

That's a proof to you that you have nothing to worry about.

That my devotion to you is complete.

Sex is one thing, Melissa.

Trust. Trust in real love is something much, much more.

You can't be serious.

What else do I have to do to prove to you that there is nothing between

and me?

Melissa, you and I both know that you're a lying tramp.

And when I blow your scheme to sell the Agretti Harvest to Richard Channing, I

doubt if he'll even bother spitting in your direction.

You do that.

Now tell Angela everything.

That you were instrumental in helping me gain Richard's confidence.

She'll know just how loyal her favorite grandson is then.

Good morning.

I didn't even hear you get up.

No, I didn't. I want to wake you.

Still entry business, isn't it?

And Angela.

I'll bet you anything she staged that whole little scene yesterday just to try

to throw us off the track.

Chase, at least it's over.

Maybe we should just be thankful that Lantern's behind bars and forget it.

And let Angela get away with it? No way.

Well, Landry certainly didn't seem pleased when he was arrested. Maybe

testify against her.

Huh. Well, she never would have taken the chance unless she had something to

keep him in line.

What could that be?

I don't know.

And neither do you.

Excuse me, Richard.

I just saw the Falcon Crest contingent arrive.

Good. On our best behavior.

Absolutely. Lovely.

Strange, but lovely.

Chase. Hello, Richard. Maggie.

Hi.

Congratulations to the newlyweds. Thank you. Hi. Hello.

I wasn't sure you'd come, but I'm glad you did.

Richard, this is my sister, Terry Hartford. Richard Channing.

Enchanté.

Ditto.

Welcome, Michael.

Hello.

Why don't I take you on a quick tour of the place?

Great.

Why don't we have some champagne first?

Angela Channing's on her way up. Show her in.

Good afternoon.

I'm Mr. Channing's new assistant, Pamela Lynch.

I'm sure you are.

He sure likes him tall, doesn't he? Yeah, and he's not alone.

How's the father -to -be doing?

Pretty good.

How's the father that never was?

Oh, I think you'll find I'm full of surprises.

Good.

I see you haven't lost him yet.

No, and I don't intend to.

Time will tell.

Excuse me, Emma.

Now, Steve, the original, right?

I have an escort, thank you.

Michael can protect me from the big bad wolves. She'll be okay. Take two of

these, call me in the morning, and don't take an aspirin, okay?

Come on, show me around.

I'm not sure about your little sister. Oh, honey, she's just enjoying herself.

She's enjoying Michael.

He's humoring her.

Well, Chase, you don't look like you're enjoying yourself.

Frankly, I'm surprised to see you here.

Well, I suppose we both have a finely tuned political sense.

Not to mention your own incredible knack for escaping justice.

Oh, come now, Maggie, don't be so paranoid.

That's the one who brought Dr. Landry to the sheriff's attention.

With your help, no doubt.

I do what I can.

Perhaps we should discuss my paranoid theories on conspiracy.

Sometimes. Come over here, everybody. I want to show you why I bought this

place.

Isn't that something?

Yes, you have quite a view.

Over there is the original Giberti place.

That's your house, Chase.

Down there is your spread, Angela.

Falcon Crest.

Just like little toys on a game board.

But this isn't a game we're playing, is it?

Oh, of course it is. What else could it be?

Now that I've got the entire Tuscany Valley at my feet, how can I lose?
