Seems quite obvious that you find
Melissa quite attractive.

Attractive enough? Why?

Perhaps it's time to get to know her
better.

Hello, sweetheart.

Mind if I buzz on over? Don't you dare
come over here.

Why don't you go back to Florida and
leave me alone?

You mean she didn't send you here to spy
on me? I came here because I wanted to.

I'd like you to meet my wife, Maggie.

Maggie, it's your woman.

Drop your gun on the bed and turn
around.

Pretty good shot, Padgett, from close
range. That bed's a goner.

I didn't have a choice, Mr. Channing. It
was spirit. He threatened my life.

An offer to reward you handsomely, I'm
sure.

Don't you worry. You're going to get
your reward.

Let's talk this over, Mr. Channing.
Please.

Maybe I can be a double agent for you.
You've been watching too many movies.

I make it a policy not to keep assassins
on my payroll.

We're going to deposit you on the
streets of Tuscany.

And if I were you, I would catch the
first plane out of this country.

Because that's your only hope.

Morning, Grandmother. Good morning.

Greg. Good morning, Lance. My word. You
certainly look the part of the well

-groomed publisher.

You're up bright and early. Don't you
want some breakfast?

I can't stay. I have meetings with
editors all day long.

You're not keeping Richard's lackeys,
are you?

Well, look, I'm not going to make any
drastic changes, not before I get my

wet.

Well, don't wait too long.

Now, these are for you.

They're your grandfather's best
editions. I would suggest that you study

thoroughly.

Some of these are over ten years old.

Quality never goes out of style, Lance.

I will give them the attention they
deserve.

Have a good one.

I want you to make an appointment with
John Costello for first thing in the

morning. Haven't I heard that name
before?

He's one of the board of supervisors.

And you're not going to give me a sneak
preview?

Oh, I don't think that's necessary.

Then I suggest you ask Charlie to make
the call.

I'm not your social secretary.

Perhaps I shall.

He does know the meaning of loyalty.

Oh,

fellas, girls, whatever.

I think what you need here is a chair
and a whip. Look at this. Can you

it? Guards, barbed wire, now Doberman.
What do you suppose Richard's afraid of,

anyway? I don't know, but I can tell you
what I'm afraid of. Come on.

So,

once

Channing's racetrack goes into probate,
we can file the necessary papers with

the California Racing Commission.

Excellent, Sonia.

You've done a fine job of putting the
paperwork in order.

I think it's time we took a break.

How would you like to explore the
valley?

There's much I'd like to see.

Come in, Siri.

Ah, Siri!

I believe you've met Vanya Louis
-Dreyfus from our European brand.

How do you do? She's drawing up the
racetrack contract.

Two of our men found Padgett at the bus
station getting ready to leave town.

Richard Channing is still alive.

Richard Channing knows too much about
the cartel. If he will not help us, he

will surely hurt us. He will be taken
care of.

Have the surveillance devices been
planted in the GeoBatia residence yet?

The Chenning preparations have kept me
very busy. Let it down, Spheres.

I want to know what chase Gioberti has
learnt about the plane crash and from

whom.

Maybe we should take that tour now.

There are more important things to do.

Someone will show you to the airport.

All right, Melissa.

I'll have my attorneys draw up the
contract and it'll be ready whenever you

That may be a while, Angela.

I haven't decided who to sell my harvest
to.

There are plenty of customers in the
valley.

But not all with your best interest at
heart.

Good morning, Melissa.

Hello. Have you had a chance to check
out any thoroughbreds yet?

Not yet.

I don't know what to look for.

Well, as I said, I'll be very happy to
show you.

I'm not a bad judge of horse flesh.

I'm sure you're not.

Until then?

Until then.

I'd be careful if I were you.

There are some horses that even you
can't break.

Very few, Angela.

I just heard from the broadcast bureau
in Washington.

You're busy.

Saved my life last night.

Isn't that enough work for a while?

Oh, and your drunk act was a command
performance.

Thank you. God knows I rehearsed it
enough.

In the old days.

What about that radio station?

K -E -F -W.

It's a sale in San Francisco. It has a
large studio complex. It's modern

facilities. And you know something?

What? It's been losing money for years.

That's what I like to hear. We should be
able to pick it up for a song. Get it.

Wouldn't you rather wait until a
television station? I don't want a

station. I go crazy with all those silly
reruns. I can make an impact in this

valley with radio. We'll stir things up.

A little local news, you know, glamour,
sex.

The sky's the limit. All right, I'll
make an offer right away.

Now, hold on. I've got some new business
to discuss.

Namely, my next chief of security.

Oh, I'm sorry. I haven't had time to go
to the search. It's all right. I found

somebody. Perfect. They're very
intelligent, trustworthy, even

Beautiful? Yes.

She is.

Oh, you mean me?

Oh, no. I've had enough hats already.

You look lovely in them.

I think I could see my way clear with a
suitable ray.

Done.

In fact, I'll do you one better.

I'll give you a bonus on the spot.

I think I'm going to like this new
position.

No. What?

That's my job.

Oh, yes, Chief.

Hello.

It's Chase Giaberti.

Send him up.

I'll be back for the rest of my bonus
later.

You got it, Chief.

Good morning.

You look like you could use a cold
drink.

No, thank you.

To what do I owe this visit?

Just a brotherly chat.

I always find those so enlightening.

I hope I can say the same.

Couldn't help admiring your Dobermans.

Ah, you like those, huh?

Finest money can buy.

Don't you think all this security is a
little excessive?

You can never be too careful about
anything, Chase.

What are you afraid of?

Is it that organization you told me
about?

The one Mother helped establish?

Sometimes I talk too much, Chase.

I get a little melodramatic.

They're just a small band of European
hooligans. Believe me, they couldn't

less about us.

Ah, then why?

Why let me be practically accused of
murder, huh?

The FAA passed judgment, not me.

Now, don't worry.

Everything's going to work out fine.
Before you know it, you'll be out there

crop dusting again.

Just don't worry.

Only one of us seems particularly
worried.

That's you.

Yeah. Ralph Delaney to see you, sir.

The editor -in -chief?

I know who he is, Helen. Send him right
in.

Ralph, I am looking forward to working
with you.

I'm afraid our time together will be
brief, Mr. Clemson.

It's my letter of resignation.

Look, I'll top any offer you get.

Money isn't the issue.

To be perfectly frank, I don't think I'd
enjoy working for a novice or one of

Angela Channing's puppets.

Mr. Delaney, I realize you're one of the
best editors around, but I won't have

anybody working in my company that
doesn't respect me.

Then you'll be working alone, sir. There
are plenty here who feel the same way I

do. Ralph.

Mr. Delaney.

I know I don't have experience.

That's why I need you.

I started in the printing room.

I worked there seven long years.

I was a reporter for more than a decade
until Richard Channing promoted me to

editor six months ago.

I'd never been handed anything.

And I refuse to work for anybody who
has.

Richard Channing inherited this paper.

Richard Channing fought his way to the
top in other fields. He was someone I

could respect.

I won't accept your resignation.

You have no choice.

I'm leaving in two weeks' time.

Good luck.

You'll need it.

You all right?

Yeah.

You know, before Linda and I were
married, I spent all my time looking,

searching.

Once I found her, I never thought I'd
have to look again.

That's what makes the second time so
much easier, knowing that you found

somebody once.

Yes, the whole idea of dating really
depresses me.

Not me. I've already been out on a
couple of dates.

You think that's such a good idea?

So soon?

Listen to you giving your old auntie
advice.

Cole, Michael didn't love me for the way
I mourned.

He loved me for the way I lived.

Excuse me.

Hello. Hello, sweetheart.

Mind if I buzz on over?

Don't you dare come over here.

Come on, I'm in a party mood, huh? Let's
go out to the racetrack.

I can tell by the sound of your voice
you already hocked my watch.

He'll tide me over for a while, at least
until the papers arrive from Florida.

Then we start to share community
property, huh? You can't threaten me.

Why don't you go back to Florida and
leave me alone?

What's the matter?

Nothing. It was just one of those awful
bill collectors.

I already paid the bill, but he won't
take no for an answer.

Do you want to talk to one of our
attorneys?

No, thanks.

As soon as he realizes what an
incredible mistake he's making, I'm sure

away.

Would you like some more tea, John? No,
thank you. I'm fine.

I was just telling Mr. Reardon what a
conscientious board member you've been.

Well, I...

Trying to do what's best for the Valley.

And what's best for the Valley is
obviously also what's best for

John, I'm certain that you are as
concerned as I am about a grounded pilot

in charge of airport authority.

Chase is a very popular man.

There's talk he'll take over as chairman
when Max Hartman steps down.

Now, that's a position you've always
coveted, if I remember correctly.

Do you have anything in mind?

Yes, I've spoken to two of your fellow
board members, and they agree with me

that measures have to be taken to ensure
the board's good name.

Measures that certainly won't ensure
Chase's good name.

Well, you'll have to vote your
conscience, John.

Yes.

And let me know what happens.

That was very rude.

Strong -arm every politician who comes
your way. Why should that concern you?

Oh, I don't know.

Maybe because I would like a career in
politics someday.

Why should I strong -arm a politician
that I create?

How about the ones who keep you out of
prison?

Yep.

There we go.

Let me get this straight, Harold.

You, your grandma, your aunt, your
Chinese friend, all live in the same

Everybody. The parrot, too.

That's not as bad as all that, have you
said? You know, my grandmother, she

holds things together.

What does she have to say about you
taking a job here?

Well, she's glad to have the extra
money.

Don't suppose there's any other reasons
for working in this pit?

Well, look, I've always wanted to be in
the newspaper business.

This isn't my way to get my foot in the
door.

Looks like we got us a couple of social
butterflies here with all this

jabbering.

Here we go.

You clumsy oak.

That barrel's worth more to this company
than you are.

It was an accident.

Go on three. Ready?

One, two, and three!

You gonna tell me how to run my floor,
punk?

No, sir.

Because if you try, it could be history.

Got it?

Yeah.

What's that guy's problem?

Are you kidding? He's having a good day.

Watch him, Harold.

It's as bad as they sound.

would you like for lunch today, Joseph?

Peanut butter and jello. Peanut butter
and jello it is.

Don't forget to wash your hands. More
luck.

Young man!

I told you never to open a window
without my permission, darling.

Oh,

my goodness, where did you get such an
imagination?

Mr. Chairman, I have an urgent matter to
bring to the board's attention.

Yes, sir?

As an elected body, we must maintain the
people's trust.

To do so, we have to police ourselves.

I move to have Chase Giverty removed as
head of the airport authority.

Quiet, please.

Quiet.

Thank you.

What's the basis for this action, John?
Chase has always been a very effective

chairman. Well, the man's had his
pilot's license stripped, Max.

He's been condemned by the FAA. The
final report isn't out yet. When it is,

guarantee you my name will be cleared.

Maybe. Maybe not.

The report I read said that pilot error
was responsible for the death of those

four people.

Quiet, please.

Quiet.

Thank you. How much longer are you going
to allow this farce to continue?

Sorry, Chase, but there's a motion on
the floor.

Is there a second?

Those in favor?

Opposed?

Motion passes.

I would like to add, however, for the
record, that when the final FAA report

issued, I'm going to present a new
motion to have Chase reinstated.

In the meantime, we'd better elect a new
head of the airport authority.

Either you're deep in thought about my
job offer, or you just lost a bundle in

that last race.

No, I'm a million miles away.

This is a rather strange place to
conduct business, though, you must

Oh, thank you. You see, it does have its
advantages. Hold on.

I'm very flattered by your job offer and
intrigued. However, I do not know the

first thing about being a radio
reporter.

You were a good newspaper reporter at
the New Globe.

I don't know the first thing about
owning a radio station.

We'll learn together.

Teamwork.

Think about it.

Just don't say no.

Waiter.

Care for a drink? Uh, yeah.

Um, scotch. A double.

Uh, the usual.

I don't think I've ever seen you drink a
single scotch, let alone a double.

Well, I've had a lot on my mind lately.

Coming to terms with being adopted.

I recognize the symptoms. First -hand
experience.

I don't know. I can't seem to put it out
of my mind. I try. It keeps coming

right back in again.

The more I think about it, the more
questions it raises.

Then you've got to find some answers.

I went through hell until I found out
that Jacqueline was my mother.

Then the fun really started.

If you ever decide to search, and I
think you should, I will help you in any

I can.

Thank you.

I think you better bring the lady a
milk.

Yeah.

Make it a double.

You got a bad deal there.

I'm kidding.

I'm sorry.

Costello's a little power -hungry, but
the soup's allowed.

Why don't we go over to Simone's? I'll
buy you a beer.

I can go for that.

Chase, I'm anxious to get that airport
authority on its feet. I'll be over

tomorrow for the old material.

Oh, no, no, I'll go to that trouble,
John. I'll be happy to drop it by your

benefactor of the week, whoever that
might be, Angela, Richard, somebody

There were three votes against you.

Emotion nearly reflected public
sentiment.

Bought and well paid for, no doubt.

Well, I see your boy's just as
sanctimonious as you are. Like father,

Oh, now, come on.

You know, I really ought to be appalled
that you'd run roughshod over the truth

for a little political gain, but... The
truth is that no discredited pilot

should ever be in charge of something as
important as the airport authority.

I'm just sorry I don't have the power to
have you thrown off the board of

supervisors altogether.

Let's get out of here.

You know, it's just too damn bad you
have to drag the board through the mud

you. Well, you did more damage to the
board with one plane's light than I

do in a lifetime.

Tell me, she's not worth it, Dad.

Well, I see you're just as dangerous on
the ground as you are in the air.

I'll send somebody over for those
materials.

Good day, Mr. Cheney.

Promise me you'll consider my advice and
my offer.

I will, Richard. And thank you. Thank
you. Bye -bye.

Well, isn't there anything more that
either of you can tell me about the man?

His build, his hair color, anything?
Dan, it just happened so fast.

I didn't even see him.

He must have snuck in.

Snuck his car in, too, I suppose.

I'm sorry. Without more to go on,
there's not a heck of a lot I can do.

might consider beefing up security at
your track.

Or close the damn thing altogether.

Racetracks don't breed crime.

They don't seem to prevent it, either.

Darling, could we just go?

I'll walk you out.

I'm sorry, Mr. Channing.

It won't happen again.

No, it won't.

You pick up your final paycheck when you
turn in your uniform tomorrow.

Why didn't you wake me up?

Half the day's shot.

Oh, good morning to you, too. I thought
after your rough night at the police

station, you'd enjoy a few extra hours'
sleep.

Here.

So much for Douglas panning high
standards.

When do I get that radio license?

Applications for the FCC take time,
Richard.

I don't have time.

It's going to be an open season on me
until I can fight back.

Call my lawyer. Tell him to do
something. Get a waiver, pull some

don't care what he has to do. I want
that station.

Did you get any sleep at all last night?

I just kept...

feeling his arm around my neck.

Every time I closed my eyes, it was as
if it was happening all over again.

Oh, Maggie, I'm so sorry.

I wish there was something I could say.

Honey, you don't have to say anything.
I'm just glad you're here.

Does Sheriff Robbins have any clues?

Well, the police found the car with the
Florida plates, but they couldn't trace

it. It was stolen.

What's the problem here? This truck was
due out 15 minutes ago.

The presses broke down. These papers
were just printed.

Get the lead out of your pants, punk. If
you can't do your job, I'll find

someone who can.

I'm sorry, Mr. Tower. We'll hurry up, I
promise.

It's better.

Costco's out tonight.

I want you to work a double shift.

Sure thing, Mr. Tower.

That's right, Harold. We'd better hurry.

Where's your pride, heavy set?

Huh? How can you be so damn submissive?

There's five mouths to feed.

Nobody has an easy lesson to learn.

Greg!

Melissa.

Delightful. Why, I'd like you to meet a
friend of mine, Lorinda Ashe.

So, have you thought about my last
offer?

Yes. And have you come to any
conclusion?

I've decided I want your help.

Good.

I only hope you're as good a judge of
horse flesh as you think you are.

Excuse me.

I see my lunch date.

Mrs.

Compson. I'm Jean -Louis Debussy.

It's a pleasure.

My broker told me to look for an
extremely attractive woman. I see you

exaggerate.

Thank you.

But as I told your broker, there was no
reason for this meeting.

My land is not for sale at any price.

I'll keep it down.

We haven't even discussed it yet.

You see, there is no need.

My father left the land to me in a
truck.

I couldn't sell it to you even if I
wanted to.

He's not there.

He's not anywhere. I can't even find a
secretary.

Well, there must be somebody here. The
paper doesn't run itself.

And who are you?

I'm the editor -in -chief, Mrs.
Channing.

Richard's editor -in -chief?

Richard Channing knew how to run a
newspaper.

Richard Channing knew how to exploit the
news.

And this article about Maggie Gioberti's
mugging proves that you're no better.

I was proud to work with Richard
Channing.

But you can be equally proud to be out
of work with him.

Hello, Ralph.

Where have you been all day, Mr.
Compson?

If you don't know how to run this
newspaper, I'll hire somebody who does.

Doesn't anybody make appointments
anymore?

Being a publisher means being available
for your editorial staff.

Mr. Delaney, I'm working on a special
project right now. When I'm out of the

office, you're in charge. You're the
editor -in -chief. Is that understood?

I hope this project of yours has the
good taste of your grandfather and not

bastard uncle.

Ralph and I run this paper.

You have nothing to say about it. All
right.

I've been looking for you.

I'm busy. What do you want, Melissa?

Oh, just to lead you into tempeh.

Of course, I could sit here and sip some
wine and watch you work.

All right.

All right.

You win.

Um, could you open up the bottle of the
wine?

The corkscrew is in the bottom of the
basket.

Okay.

I can't believe I forgot the corkscrew.

What's so funny?

Well, here we are in the middle of a
vineyard and we can't even open up a

of wine.

Shame on you. A good vineyardist always
carries a corkscrew in his back pocket.

A good vineyardist is always prepared.

Oh, I want to see this one.

Not a corkscrew, but it'll have to do.

Got it, got it.

Oh, no.

You said you wanted some wine.

Great idea.

Hey, a picnic, an hour of fun won't hurt
anybody.

You owe yourself some enjoyment.

Sometimes I think I've forgotten how to
have fun.

Well,

then I will just have to teach you.

Here we go.

Here we go. Here we go.

Cheers.

Honey,

I was as surprised by Richard's job
offer as you are. I'm suspicious, as you

were before.

Yeah, but I'm going in now with both
eyes open, and I think he's being

Sure.

I know he is an enigma, but, uh, looked
at all the angles, and...

I want to take the job, honey.

I think I need to. Well, then you should
take the job.

Besides, you might discover some of his
deep, dark secrets.

Oh, great.

Is someone going to be a spy?

Sure, why not? Maggie Giamberti,
undercover wife.

Hi.

A new transportation foreman's going to
be terrific, Dad.

Great. You guys hired a new
transportation foreman?

Some kind of spy you'd make. Come on,
I'll introduce you.

Joel, I'd like you to meet my wife,
Maggie.

Maggie, Joel McCarthy.

It's all used to race cars.

Race cars? Well, Tuscany Valley isn't
exactly life in the fast lane. I hope

you're not bored.

I make my own fun.

Well, what brings you here, Mr.
McCarthy?

I guess you could say opportunity.

Thank you, Charlie. The lunch was
delicious.

The colorant was magnificent.

The choice of entree was Miss Channing.
As is the brandy you are now enjoying.

Despite everything, Angela, you are the
most damnable combination of gentlewoman

and firebrand that I have ever met.

My, aren't we getting friendly?

A couple of days ago, you had me marked
as a common criminal.

I didn't say that you weren't also
multifaceted.

But... One can't knock success.

Let me give you a little advice.

In every soul, there's a little malice.

Yes.

Now, about Melissa and that nosy little
Frenchman, I do not want de Bercy to

horn in on the Agretti harvest.

I somehow imagine that you have an idea
or two how we deal with that.

Well, it seems quite obvious that you
find Melissa quite attractive.

Attractive enough. Why?

Perhaps it's time to get to know her
better.

To know her every move.

Perhaps I will.

Perhaps I'll check out a number of them.

Here she is, just in time for the
celebration.

Richard's application to the FCC was
approved this morning. Well,

congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. A
little champagne.

Oh, nice.

Yes. You know, if you will accept my job
offer, my day

will be complete.

All right. I do, however, have one
condition.

You have to promise me that you will not
use the station against Chase in any

way.

I should have known you'd drive a hard
bargain.

Well, you think it over.

Just don't say no.

I accept.

Good. Then I do, too.

Now, what do you think of the call
letters K -R... K -R -D -C?

K -R -D -C? I don't know. Sounds all
right.

All right.

R -D -C happened to be my initials.

Oh, well, in that case, perfect.

To KRDC, soon to be the most
interesting, the most exciting, the most

radio station in the West. In the
country.

Hey, in the world.

The bartender says to the father, your
son should have quit while he was ahead.

Cock comes out again. You've got the
graveyard shift.

But, uh, Mr. Todd, it's my oldest
daughter's 16th birthday.

Sweet 16 only happens once in a girl's
lifetime.

If you don't work tonight, don't bother
coming in tomorrow.

Got a tower?

I'll take the ship. I didn't ask you to
take it, pal.

What is your

problem, pal? I'm taking the ship. I'll
tell you what my problem is, punk. You!

Nobody tells me how to run my shops.

Nobody! What are you doing here?

These are my mandolini.

Your territory is upstairs.

Do you have any idea who he is?

Yeah. Someone who's about to get tanned
from this paper.

He's Lance Compson, publisher of this
paper.

I, uh... I need a little experience.

Mr. Blaney, you told me yourself you
started down here.

Take of a joke, Mr. Compson.

What do you say I buy you a drink?

We can talk about my ideas for some
improvements around here.

I've got one already.

You're fired.

Compson, I'm not a bad guy.

You get to know me a little better,
you'll find that out.

Is that right?

You all have worked for him for some
time now, haven't you?

Yes, sir.

Let's see a show of hands of everyone
who thinks that Mr. Tower here is not

a bad guy.

Let's go. Let's see him.

Well,

Mr. Tower, I run a Democratic paper, and
it looks like you're in the minority.

I don't know how Richard Channing ran
his paper, but I know how I'm running

mine.

Consider yourself canned, punk.

Have you set?

You know, it looks as if we need a new
foreman.

And I can't think of a better man for
the job than you.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Harold.

Mr. Thompson.

Land. Listen.

You better get going, because the girl's
only 16 and 1.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow.

You bet.

Maybe I was a little tough on you the
other day.

With your permission, I'd like to be
allowed to withdraw my letter of

resignation.

What letter of resignation?

Joseph, the fork on the left, and the
knife and the spoon go on the right.

Where is the food?

Well, I think this little guy's got his
priorities right. Food is coming up.

Well, look who's here. Look who's here.

Hey there, sport. What do you say?

Well, I hope you guys are hungry.

I love it when you read my mind. You got
a package today.

Oh, dear. The pretty thing came off.
Thank you, Mrs. Miller.

Okay. You go there.

What's it say?

For your pocket.

Love, Melissa.

Some involvement with Melissa.

Melissa's a good mother to Joseph and a
good friend to me.

You've always taught me to return
friendship whenever I can.

And that's exactly what I intend to do.

Well, then I guess we'll have to respect
your wishes, won't we?

Thank you.

Let's eat.

All right. Right away. Good idea.

Let's eat.

This is very charming.

That's the place.

My father built this for my mother.

They used to have all their intimate
dinners right there.

So that's what this is, huh?

Intimate.

Well, we'll just have to see.

I wonder what Angela would say if she
knew that her heir and her attorney were

having a quiet supper together.

Thank you.

Even lawyers are allowed time off to
rest their claws.

You mean she didn't send you here to,
uh, buy on me?

No.

I came here because I wanted to.

Then I'll ask you to stay because I want
you to.
