Original subtitles

Angela's price was Joseph, and yours was inheriting Falcon Crest.

Oh, that's very neat, Melissa.

Something's happening.

What's the matter?

I can't focus.

I think that's enough practice for this. No, no, Lucas, I want to do some more.

I want to be perfect. I don't want to miss.

When is the surgery?

Well, Michael would like to operate right away.

Michael? You can't consider him with his record. He couldn't even save his own

life.

Thank you.

Joseph?

Joseph?

Where is he? I want to take him riding.

Joseph! Come here.

He's gone.

What?

Melissa?

Let her go. Has something happened to Joseph?

Well, Melissa has decided that Joseph should live with his father.

That's not her decision to make.

But it is for the best.

What about the court's decision?

Doesn't that mean anything?

Why wasn't I consulted?

Joseph is with Cole now.

There's nothing more to discuss.

Wait a second.

I want to talk about it.

Now, Melissa just doesn't go and hand Joseph over.

What do you have to do with all this?

Melissa signed over his custody papers to me.

I had a long talk with Chase and we came to an arrangement.

I have Falcon Crest back.

At least half of it.

That was your price?

Joseph for a piece of land?

Falcon Crest is my legacy.

And it's yours too. Now, if you're smart, you'll leave things alone and we

get on with our lives.

There's a lot more to do.

Yeah? Like what?

Huh? Like finding someone else's life to trade for the other half of Falcon

Crest? If necessary.

I can't

even

write one.

Paige.

Chase,

I can't.

What is so important?

Well, I just have this idea for a short story and... If I don't get busy, I'm

going to go crazy.

Yeah.

If I could just work, I don't have to think.

I have the surgery.

Forget the radiation.

Forget the radiation, forget the surgery.

And no matter which one I choose, they might not work.

Yeah.

How do you face something like this?

You face it with your courage and your strength and whatever little support

I can give you.

Darling.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I know this is as hard on you as it is on me. I just don't know what

to do.

Michael wants a decision by this week. I'm going to have to make up my mind.

Not this minute.

Hi.

Joseph, how are you?

Hi.

Joseph wanted to say hello to his new grandparents.

Hi, I'm the new grandma. I've almost fallen over here. How nice to see you.

I give you a kiss?

Can I?

Oh, thank you. Well, let me give you a tour. Let me show you around. You

been here before.

Well, it looks like he found a new friend.

Come on.

Wait till you see this. Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. You're going to

this. Okay, now this is a typewriter. It's a very, very magic kind of thing.

Now, you see that? Can you do that?

Brilliant. Wow. The child is brilliant.

Do another one. Go ahead and try another one.

See what happens? There they are up there.

I see we have a new writer in the family. There you go. Oh, my God.

Oh, she is so sweet.

What's Mom going to do?

She hasn't decided yet.

She just needs a little more time.

That's about all the time she has, isn't it?

Yes. All right. All right. Okay.

Now watch this. Press that. Press that one.

Woo!

Sit down, Melissa.

Please. All right.

I know what Angela got out of this.

But I want to know what you got out of it.

What was it that you wanted so badly that it was worth the price of your own

son?

You're overreacting, Lance, as usual.

Oh, yeah.

I just decided it would be better for Joseph if he lived with his father. Then

why give custody to Angela, not Cole?

Because it was easier that way.

Easier?

Easier for Angela to trade him for half a falcon crest.

But what did you get out of it?

She's not going to give you a precious inch of her vineyards.

She will.

You get paid off on her will.

Angela's price was Joseph.

And yours was inheriting Falcon Crest.

Oh, it's very neat, Melissa.

Are you sure it's worth giving up your son for?

Ending up like Angela?

With nothing but stinking vineyards?

That's all you've ever wanted?

Yes, grandmother.

No. Oh, grandmother, you've been nothing more than an errand boy around here,

doing all of Angela's dirty work to pay for your inheritance.

I know. I know that.

But I draw the line in pain with my own flesh and blood.

Why would you care what happens to Joseph?

There was a time when you didn't even care. It doesn't matter. That was all in

the past.

Don't you see that I care for him That I love him like he was my own son

The point of it is, we're never going to make the opening date at this rate.

You've got to get more men out there, enlarge the crews, do whatever you have

do. Do we understand each other?

Good. All right.

They're falling behind schedule again.

This overtime is cutting into your capital.

I'll get more loans if I have to.

The rates are exorbitant.

You're getting in over your head.

You could lose everything, Richard.

Yeah.

I could, couldn't I?

Keeps it interesting.

I've been in tight spots before. I'll manage. Just be thankful you don't have

put up with deadlines and threats.

What are you thinking?

This racetrack's becoming an obsession with you.

I just wish you'd get your priorities right. I mean, revenge shouldn't be top

the list.

Neither should capitulation.

Maybe we should work on your priorities.

Oh, let's spend a few days away together.

No. No,

I can't. It's impossible.

Maybe when the track opens.

Sally, what time is that banker's luncheon?

Whoa.

Kay, you've really fixed this place up.

I hope you don't mind. I mean, that I changed things around and everything.

Look at this.

No, no, you... You do whatever you want.

Whoa.

I'm going to get the sink dirty.

Don't worry about it. I can wash it again.

You know, I've been thinking, it must get kind of lonely here with me out all

day.

What do you say the next time I go into town I get you a radio for company?

No.

I mean, I kind of like the idea of no distractions, you know what I mean?

Besides that, you're all the company I need.

Oh, yes, I would.

Man. Hi.

Sit down.

How's Maeve?

Worried.

Pressure she's under is taking its toll.

Trying to make her remind him.

I know it's rough, but I'm going to have to have an answer in the next couple of

days.

You just don't seem so futile.

I mean, no matter what she decides, I'm afraid she's...

Is there any chance

that the radiation could cure her?

I wish I could tell you that it could or would.

It's just tumor radiation will only contain it temporarily, that's all.

Damn, why did... Why did this have to happen to her? Why?

Why?

It's a long shot.

Surgery's the only answer.

Morning, Charlie.

I'll just have some juice.

What, no breakfast?

Not hungry.

Is Melissa coming down?

How should I know?

She's spending an awful lot of time in her room.

That's her problem, thanks.

But I think you should make it your problem and straighten out your

I suppose that would be a good idea now that Melissa is a sole beneficiary of

your will.

Well, now that you know it, you can patch up your relationship.

That's much easier said than done, Grandmother.

You can also notify Erickson that you won't be working for him anymore.

I want you to come back and work for me where you belong.

I know where I belong.

And it's not working for you.

I said 12 sharp.

I don't want to keep those bankers waiting for lunch. Richard, I ran into

Spirits. He knows about you putting up the newspaper store for the bank loans

you're after.

How could he know that?

I don't know.

I certainly didn't tell him.

I certainly wouldn't betray you.

But the cartel found out somehow.

Sorry, I got stuck in traffic, Mr. Chang.

Oh, what's all this about the electric system file -up?

Well, we're having circuitry problems with the tow board. We're working on it.

I'm putting millions into that track. You're out there to keep the equipment

shape and the project on schedule.

Things happen, Mr. Chang.

I'm doing the best I can. You got to do better. I don't want excuses.

I want that racetrack finished on time. Now get out there and get that board

working. Now.

You're a bit tough on him, don't you think?

Don't you start giving me trouble. I don't intend to. It's not Lafferty's

if the machinery breaks down.

From what I can see, you're the person that's breaking down.

And you're so uptight that you exploded the wrong thing.

Maybe I did overreact.

I hope so.

You can't keep going like this, right?

I'm worried about you.

Now, what about a couple of days in Tahoe, huh?

You'll come back feeling much better, I promise.

Lucas, I guess I didn't hear you drive up.

What's the door like for? You never did that before.

Well, I thought I heard something outside today, and I guess I got

Heard something?

Yeah. It was like somebody was walking around, and I guess I just let my

imagination get the best of me.

J .C. kind of put a scare into you, didn't he?

I'm so afraid he'll come looking for me, and I don't know what I'll do. I mean,

what if you're not here?

Learn to protect yourself, Kay.

How? I mean, he's so much bigger and stronger than I am.

Lucas,

I didn't know you kept a gun. It's a .45 sidearm, a little souvenir of my hitch

in the Marines. I'll tell you what, tomorrow morning, first thing I'll take

out and teach you how to use it.

No, I don't think I could shoot a gun.

Sure you can.

It's easy. It's worth a little practice. And look, I don't want you running

around here scared to death.

And to tell you the truth, I'd feel a lot better if you knew how to defend

yourself, if you have to.

It's very considerate of you.

Well, just a precaution.

I don't know why you insisted that I come here. I think it's time you took an

interest in the community.

Good evening, Angela.

Emma. Oh, hi, Philip.

Everything Angela does, she does so well.

Even ignoring old friends.

Sorry.

Hi, there.

Why were you so rude to Philip?

Sit down, Emma.

That does it.

I'll tell you one thing, Mr. Channing.

Whoever put in these bugs must have laid out a lot of buck.

I've never seen anything like them.

They've got to be the latest state of the art.

Is there any way of telling who made these?

Sure wish there was.

They beat anything we carry.

Nice to meet you, ma 'am.

So tense.

Yeah.

And feels good.

Oh, it's just a taste of what you'd get if we were in Lake Tahoe.

You never let up, do you?

I know, and I'm onto a good day.

I'm very grateful to you, Pamela.

With all my enemies out there, it's comforting to be with someone I can

You can, Richard.

You can.

Living out here is kind of handy, having a gun around the place.

Have you ever killed anyone, Lucas?

In the service, sometimes it's necessary, but it's not easy killing.

Ready for your first lesson?

You always hold it up like this.

So even if it discharges, it'll go up in the air. Won't go under your foot.

Here.

Bullets going into the chamber.

This is the safety.

Ready to try it?

If you think so, I've never even touched a gun before.

You'll be a pro before I'm through with you.

Grab it like you're shaking hands.

Real firm.

Good. Hold it up.

Check the safety. See if that's on.

Good.

Now just feel the weight of it.

There it is, ladies and gentlemen.

I hope you'll find that I've avoided the traps of so much of today's modern

architecture.

Superficial, boring, and sterile little boxes.

Without charm, without grace, and without true function.

Now, the new building will complement the older Italianate structures.

And, of course, I've incorporated the latest solar and conservation factors.

Thank you all for your very kind attention.

Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?

Emma, come with me.

Carter.

Angela.

It's been so long.

It's good to see you.

We enjoyed your presentation.

Oh, thank you very much. It's a great compliment coming from you.

Oh, you remember my daughter, Emma.

Nice of you to come.

I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

I was wondering, we haven't seen you in such a long time, would you be free for

dinner, say, tomorrow evening?

Tomorrow?

Well, yes, I am free.

But even if I weren't, I'd cancel everything just to be with you.

Well, let's say 7 o 'clock.

At Falcon Crest.

Seven.

That's wonderful.

Now, I won't keep you.

I, uh, look forward to tomorrow evening.

So will I.

Bye.

Mother, you've never given Mr. St. John the time of day before.

Circumstances change sometimes, don't they, Mother?

Coffee is good and strong. Maggie, I have to tell you, as a doctor, this

is a disaster.

Oh, thank you. Calorically, it's a disaster. Oh. I don't even want to count

calories. In fact, we're counting years ago.

I think I had a little too much wine with dinner. Come on, sit down.

I'll take care of the coffee.

Well,

he is certainly handy to have around.

I'm finding that out.

Maggie, this store is wonderful.

Good.

Are you all right?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Well, I'll give you the, uh, the recipe.

It's an old family secret.

She makes these, uh, from scratch.

Something's happening.

What's the matter?

The candle.

What, Meg? What do you see?

I don't know. It's a blur and I can't focus.

Okay. Get your car.

Get over to the hospital, all right?

It's all right, Meg. Just stay there for a while. I'll take a look at you, okay?

All right. You get the car. We'll wait for you.

She's resting.

Can I see her?

I gave her a Saturday. If you might as well go on home for a while.

What about her eyesight?

Well, it comes and goes.

Right now it's clear again, but apparently the tumor is enlarging and

on the optic nerve.

Jace, I'd like to operate in a couple of days.

Has she agreed? No.

If we wait any longer, she'll lose her sight altogether.

It'll be irreversible.

What are you doing here, Melissa?

Muffins.

That's right, it's muffins.

Melissa, what are you doing here?

I think that's obvious.

I'd like to spend some time alone with my son.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

I wasn't asking for your opinion.

It's almost time for his lunch.

Then you should have plenty of things to do in the kitchen.

Look, Linda.

He's all I've got now.

If it weren't for you, I'd be expecting another baby.

You know it wasn't my fault!

Okay.

I guess it'll be all right for a few minutes.

I can be there in about 30 minutes.

Sorry, Lamb.

I'm making an hour.

I don't want to make it at all.

I'm with Michael now.

That never stopped you before.

It's different now.

Bye.

But

radiation

won't get rid of the tumor.

It will shrink it. Only temporarily.

You never can tell. Advances are being made continuously.

Something's got to be done one way or another.

Hello, Maggie.

Chase.

Oh, Maggie.

I'm so sorry to hear your illness is serious.

Is there anything I can do?

I'm afraid not, Angela.

I had the gardener cut these just for you. I hope you enjoy them. They're

beautiful. Thank you. Lovely.

Now, tell me about this tumor.

When is the surgery?

Well, Michael would like to operate right away.

Michael? But you're not going to let him do it.

Chase.

If Maggie decides on surgery, Michael's the only one who can do it.

But that's absurd.

You can't consider him with his record. He couldn't even save his own wife.

He has more experience in this area than anybody in the world.

Actually, look, I haven't really made a decision yet. I'm thinking about

radiation. Well, if it's a question of Michael doing it or radiation, I don't

think you have a choice.

Angela, Maggie needs a rest.

Yes, I know.

Maggie, I sincerely advise against surgery.

Angela, goodbye.

Yes. Now, I will see you later, Maggie.

Bye. Thank you so much for coming by.

Listen, if Angela's so against the surgery, maybe I should be for it.

Can't be serious.

But whatever I decide, you won't fight me, will you?

You know, I'm with you every step of the way.

Oh, you got to be careful. You got to hold on to the bicycle.

Hey, buddy, how you doing?

What are you doing here?

I have every right to see my son.

Even you agree to that.

It doesn't mean you can come over whenever you just feel like it.

From now on, when you want to see Joseph, you call first.

Hey, where's Linda?

In the house.

In the house.

Keeping an eye on me.

Say goodbye to your mother, Joseph.

I'm going.

Um, I have to go right now.

But I'll be back real soon.

Can I go?

Not this time, baby.

You have to take care of Muffin.

I love you.

You gonna take Muffin for a ride?

Thanks.

I

don't

want you leaving Joseph alone with Melissa.

Cole, she is his mother. She could have driven away with him or... God knows

what.

She must miss him a lot.

Are you still feeling guilty about the accident?

It caused Melissa her baby, didn't it?

Don't worry about Melissa.

She got what she really wants.

I don't know how to tell you how sorry I am about all this.

Oh, Richard.

Hey, those are the breaks, you know.

You scared?

I'm petrified.

I'm really petrified.

You're a very special lady, and there are a lot of people out there pulling

you, so you just remember that.

I will, thank you.

And your job at the New Globe, it's just back there waiting for you.

I have to go out of town for a few days, so I'll see you when I get back.

Thank you for the book.

Bye.

Chase? Richard?

Hi, darling.

Good to see you.

Michael? Hi.

How are the headaches?

Oh, please. The headaches are terrific.

Medication? Help?

Well, not really.

But I don't mind. You know, the pain lets me know I'm alive.

Is there something else you can give her?

That may not be necessary. I have finally made a decision.

You know, Chase, you have made me so happy, and we have had such a good life

together.

And I guess it was the other day when I was...

I was holding my grandson for the first time, and I just realized what I want,

what I want is to hold on to my family for as long as I can, even if it's just

few months.

So when can we start the radiation?

I admit it, it's lovely.

I haven't felt more relaxed in years.

I'm glad.

I worry about you, you know that? You do, yeah.

There's something I want to tell you. What?

What?

I love you.

Is that true?

Yeah, it's true.

It is? Yeah.

Well, I don't know what to say.

I don't mean to doubt you.

It's just that I'm not too sure about anyone's feelings for me anymore.

Except Angela's and Chase's.

I don't know.

Maybe it has to do with the way I was brought up.

Maybe you used the wrong weapons, you know? Yeah.

Power can win you acceptance, but not love. It could be.

What do you really want?

I haven't made up my mind about anything yet. I don't know. What do I want? If I

had to be honest?

Who knows? Maybe I'd like what Chase has.

Except he's going through hell at the moment with Maggie so ill.

But he seems to have it all. Love, respect, trust.

Closeness to the people.

You really are a sensitive person.

I wish you'd show it more often, Richard.

I'm not sure I know how.

The important thing is that I know.

You do?

Mm -hmm.

Pamela.

You are very important to me.

More than I can tell you.

Oh, Richard.

Thank you, thank you. I really couldn't. It was a delicious dinner.

Thank you, Charlie.

Thank you.

I don't know when I've enjoyed an evening as much, Angela.

Well, I think Charlie has outdone himself.

I'm not talking about the delicious dinner.

I'm talking about the company.

Well, what a nice thing to say.

I was wondering, would you like to take a little walk in the garden?

Yes. Wonderful.

Here we go.

Well,

Lance.

Carter, you remember my grandson, Lance.

Of course.

Nice to see you again. Hello.

I've been having a most enjoyable evening with your grandmother.

I see.

I hope you'll let me reciprocate by having dinner with me very soon, like

tomorrow night.

Well, I think that would be delightful.

But right now, let's continue with our walk.

Fine. I hope, young man, that you understand how fortunate you are to have

a wonderful grandmother.

Yes. I only hope that one day I can repay her for all she's done.

Place your bets.

Place your bets. No more bets.

Card, please.

Backer Act is always fascinating.

Turning players here.

That is a seven. Players have seven.

Cards to the back, please.

That is a... Take the bank.

The players win with a seven over six.

I bet.

Zoomed the alert.

Place your bet. No more bet.

Carrots, please.

Turning for the players.

That is a seven.

Players have a seven. Cards for bank, please.

That is a natural nine.

Banker, banker wins.

I'll be back in a minute. All right.

Place your bet.

Place your bet.

Cards for bank.

That is an eight. Banker wins with a natural eight over six.

Place your bet.

Place your bet.

We've got to talk. No. Right now.

It's stupid to resist, Miss Lynch.

Turning to the players.

That is a seven, and the players must stand with a seven.

Cards for the bank, please.

That is a natural 80 winner for the bank.

Banker wins.

Cartel is very disappointed in your performance, Miss Lynch. We expect a

cooperation. Why haven't you replaced the spots?

Richard would only remove them again.

Then replace them again and again.

Now, if you don't follow instructions, you'll end up in a ditch by the side of

the road.

You're going to kill me. Why don't you do it now?

Don't tempt me.

I won't betray Richard.

Isn't that clear?

If you don't value your own life, then what about his, huh?

You'd rather kill him than see him win, wouldn't you?

You finally understand our purposes.

I'll replace Buck.

Good. Now, it's important that we know every move he makes.

Place your bets.

There will be no more bets.

No more bets, please.

Cards, please.

Turning for the players.

It is a seven, and the players have seven cards for the bank, please.

Banker has a six. Banker loses. Players win with a seven over six.

See you.

Thank you.

Place your bets, please. Place your bets.

Place your bets. One more bet.

are you doing?

Okay.

Want something to sleep?

Uh, no. No, I don't. I don't think so.

Sure. It's on your chart. What time is it?

It's very late.

Yeah, I know.

Karen.

Thank you.

Where have you been?

It was smoky in the casino. I needed some air.

All this time?

I guess I lost track of time. I would have told you, but I didn't want to

disturb your game.

You should have.

You lost?

Does it snow in Siberia?

I could have used you for some good luck.

I'm sorry.

Were you worried about me?

Yes, I was worried about you. I looked all over the casino for you.

Maybe it was a good thing.

Gave you a chance to miss me a little bit.

How long do I have to keep proving that I care for you?

Oh.

Our lady likes to hear these things now and again.

How do I, uh...

I can think of a way.

Why didn't you try to stop it?

I tried to intervene, but I'm going to get Joseph back.

Forget it, Lance.

Fighting Angela is a losing battle.

She always gets what she wants.

Like Carter St. John?

You know she's seen him.

Oh?

Oh, I didn't know that.

Yeah. He was up at the house last night. As a matter of fact, I think he's

inviting her to go to his club tonight for dinner.

If Angela does,

it really doesn't concern me anymore.

Are you sure about that?

Of course.

As is free to see whomever she pleases.

Whew!

I can't do better than that.

I think that's enough practice for today. No, no, Lucas, I want to do some

I want to be perfect. I don't want to miss.

Hello, Mr. G. Beardy.

I'd like to surprise my wife with a visit from her grandson. Would that be

possible? You'll have to get permission from... Yes, may I help you?

Could somebody please help me?

Could somebody please help me?

Could somebody... Could somebody help me, please?

Please help me!

Could somebody help me? Maggie! Maggie!

Chase! Oh, God!
