Maybe I can't stop you and Lorraine from seeing each other.

But if you do one thing to hurt her, you'll regret it. I have signed an

agreement with Angela.

Talking Francesca out of her inheritance would make you two -thirds owner.

You're just upset because you didn't think of it first.

And together we can beat them all. We can build an international wine empire.

Crush Angela and Chase like ripe grapes.

Oh!

Hot out here. How do you guys stand it?

I tell myself it's good for the grapes. Oh, I see.

A registered letter from Miss Angela Channing for you. I thought I'd want to

take a look at it. I wonder what's so important she couldn't call.

Maybe it's a belated birthday card.

Like blood.

She's petitioning the probate court to reopen Jasper's will.

That would give Francesca a chance to claim a third of Falcon Crest.

Oh, that doesn't sound like Angela. Much too generous.

She's got something up her sleeve.

I'm gonna go talk to her. You got things under control here, don't you? Yeah.

See you later. Okay.

What is this? You set up an appointment with my secretary to see me? Why so

formal all of a sudden? I just wanted you to realize that this is a business

meeting, that's all.

Ah, well, sit down.

State your business.

As your chief of security, I've done everything I can to ensure your safety,

cartel. I have here a list of measures that I have taken both here, at the turf

club, and at your home. Very good.

Pamela, I know all of this already.

What's the point?

The point is that at very great expense, I have provided you with the very best

possible 24 -hour -a -day security system. But I cannot guarantee your

when you spend the last two days in room 2460 of the Tate Hotel with Francesca

Gioberti. You've been spying on me.

Let's just say that I've been extra conscientious.

And after all, isn't it my job to keep my eye on you?

can I tell you?

That it's true love? A simple, quick affair?

Or would you believe that I am merely pursuing Francesca's interest in

Falconcrest?

Oh, with a great deal of pleasure from what room service says.

Pamela, I never thought that there were strings attached to our relationship.

Oh, you're absolutely right.

There aren't.

And that's why you can have no objection to me finding a place of my own to

live. Suit yourself.

And if you have no objection to my job performance, I would like to remain as

your assistant.

How do I know that I can trust you?

How many more times do I have to prove myself to you?

All right.

But since you're determined to move out, I...

I think the sooner you do it, the better.

Fine. I'm already packed.

Good, good.

Well, if that's all, I've got quite a bit of work to catch up on.

Thank you for seeing me.

I have nothing against Francesca getting what's rightfully hers.

But you seem to be in an awful big hurry to proceed without consulting me, and I

want to know why.

Her family is in need.

Now, Chase, you're a man of a noble heart. We didn't think you'd mind if we

started the wheels moving.

Oh, come on, Angela. What's in it for you? You wouldn't willingly part with a

square foot of falcon crest.

Chase, that girl is my sister, and I would do anything for her.

Look out. Lightning may strike at any minute.

Francesca.

Oh, my handsome nephew.

You haven't been to see me.

Well, Angela seems to be trying to keep you to herself.

Francesca's had some plans of her own. I heard you come in last night. Very

late. How was your weekend?

I left my heart in San Francisco.

Next time I'm going to go with you.

Oh, I will insist.

I hope Angela has told you what a generous thing she's doing for me.

We were just getting around to discussing.

It's nothing, really.

Oh, you're much too modest.

She's paying me enough money for my share of Falcon Crest to save the

vineyards in Italy.

Oh, I see.

Talking Francesca out of her inheritance would make you two -thirds owner.

And you could always claim you did it in the name of charity and goodwill, that

sneaky Angela, even for you.

You're just upset because you didn't think of it first.

Francesca, I don't know how much you understand about this, but you'll be

a terrible mistake if you go through with it.

It's too late.

All in writing.

Is that true?

Wait. You all go so fast.

I have signed an agreement with Angela.

If that's what you want to know.

My lawyer will want to see a copy of this agreement, Reardon.

It's as good as a bill of sale.

Yeah, we'll see about that.

Francesca, I only wish you would have spoken to me about this.

Wait, Jane.

You have told me he would be pleased.

Well, I thought he had your welfare at heart just as I do.

But obviously I was wrong.

Richard will be along

any moment.

I've always hated to see a beautiful lady waiting in line.

I'm sorry, Mr. Kempson, but I've had orders that you're not welcome at this

anymore. Would you like a drink?

I should fetch security. You can place your order with them.

Pamela, wait. Don't stick my father's security staff on me. I can handle this.

Good luck.

How come you haven't returned my phone calls?

Lorraine, I've left messages in your office.

At that fortress that's supposed to be your house.

Somebody is not giving you your messages.

You seem to be the one who's not getting the message, Lance.

I don't want to talk to you on the phone or in person.

I don't want to see you, and I certainly don't want to be seen with you.

Do you believe in sex on the first date?

You're not even listening to me. I don't.

Not with you.

I think we should go to the beach.

I think we should get a bottle of wine and watch the sun go down.

You know that...

Magic hour.

When the sky turns from blue to pink to silver.

And then maybe afterwards, take a ride into town and see an old, I don't know,

Woody Allen movie.

I'd be a perfect gentleman.

Cross my heart.

I'd take you home.

I'd drop you off right at your front doorstep.

And I'd kiss you.

How did you know I liked old Woody Allen movies?

Starting a new work, I see.

I look forward to it with great pleasure.

Miss Francesca Gioberti is coming to sit for me tomorrow.

She is a beautiful woman, I understand.

She was reluctant at first.

But once I convinced her that my interest was purely aesthetic, she

pose.

She could be our ticket to Falcon Crest.

Exactly so.

While I'm modeling those lovely features, I will be winning her

And on the other matter, what have you been able to learn?

Ah, one of our informants reports that a woman calling herself Julia Compson

tried to turn herself in at the county sheriff's station several days ago.

They treated it as a joke. She is alive!

I want her found and brought to me.

Come in.

Where have you been?

I went to the beach and a movie with Lance, as I'm sure your security guys

already told you.

Lance Compson is the last man on earth I want you to have anything to do with.

Richard, I'm not a baby.

You're not grown up enough to handle that lecher.

He makes me laugh.

What's wrong with that?

I'll tell you what's wrong with that.

He poisons everything he touches, baby.

Dirties every woman who has a misfortune to cross his path.

He's a practitioner of the seven deadly sins, and that's just for starters.

You're making him sound more attractive all the time.

You're not going to see that clown again, and that's final.

You may be able to buy and sell everyone else in your life and toss them aside

like you did with Pamela, but you don't own me.

Lorraine It's a hard thing for a man to watch his daughter grow up and I guess

I'm no exception to that You have a right to make your own mistakes So you

ahead if you have to but I can't just stand by and watch you get hurt

Like you more and more every day.

The same gentleness.

That serious smile.

Just like you.

He's smart just like Daddy.

What will it be? Harvard or Yale?

Stanford. Keep him close to home.

Oh, speaking of which.

It's late.

I gotta go.

Each time I'm with you, it gets harder to leave.

Don't.

I've got plenty of spare closets and a room down the hall that would be perfect

for Joseph.

And a bed for the two of us.

You're safe now from whoever that was prowling around.

Thanks. That's good to know. If he bothers you again, just get a dog.

Or a gun.

Or call me.

Pretty lady like you shouldn't be alone.

I might do that sometime.

Well, if a woman answers, hang up.

He's right.

A pretty lady like you shouldn't be alone.

How did you get in here?

Through the front door.

While your admirer was changing the lock on the back, I saw his truck.

It's very handy, you being a doctor's wife.

Your medicine cabinet's a rainbow of little uppers and downers.

I hope you poison yourself.

Is that any way to talk to your husband?

Here.

Try one. Make you feel great.

Get away. You make me sick.

Sweetheart, there's no way you can keep me out.

See you later.

I don't doubt the legality of the codicil. It's a surprise like that's

Jasper. What I'm concerned about now is Angela's maneuver.

Isn't there something our attorney can do?

Well, you can't be sure until he gets hold of the agreement between Angela and

Francesca. Well, honey, it'll probably take forever for this case to even get

probate. Anything could happen in the meantime.

Okay. Good morning.

Daddy, Daddy, where are you?

Oh, I was with your mom.

How are you, buddy?

Sorry I didn't make it home last night. I hope you didn't worry. We figured you

hadn't run out of gas.

Okay, honey, why don't you go in and see if Mrs. Miller has your breakfast?

Okay. That's a good boy. Go get him.

Well, I would have given you a call, but I didn't want to wake you. No

explanations necessary.

Well, it won't happen again because Joseph and I are going to move in with

Melissa.

That will never work out, and you know it.

Cole, this is the same girl who threw you over to marry Lance while she was

carrying your child. Give it a chance.

A lot's happened since then. No, it sure has. Most of it grist for the rumor

mills of the Tuscany Valley. Chase.

He's a big boy now. Let him hear it.

That woman's bad news.

She's greedy, ambitious, she's hard as nails, and she'll use you again just

she did before. Maybe worse. Okay, you said what you had to. Now lay off.

Because the bottom line is, whatever she may be, I love her.

I didn't expect you two to be thrilled about this, but I thought at least you

might wish me good luck.

Oh, I've got nothing against that. Lord knows you're gonna need it.

I think you know why I'm here.

You've come as the concerned father.

You'd like to know my intentions towards your daughter. You got it.

She's a very beautiful girl, Richard.

And, uh, my intentions would be the same as yours would be, I'm sure, if it

wasn't your daughter.

Now, you listen to me, Junior.

Maybe I can't stop you and Lorraine from seeing each other.

But if you do one thing to hurt her, you'll regret it.

For the rest of your life, you'll regret it. Do you want to get all bloody?

It's all the rain that I beat you up.

It's not going to work.

Yeah?

Mrs. Ranson is here to see you.

Send her in.

Yes, sir.

Richard, I'm glad we had this little talk.

I'm... Happy to say that we do have some common interests.

Oh, I thought it only fair to warn you that you are in danger of having your

circulation drop off suddenly.

Yeah.

Terry, well, there's something I want to talk to you about. I'll give you a

call.

I didn't know you two were on speaking terms.

What are you doing here?

I got tired of sitting around watching my grapes grow.

I thought maybe you could take the afternoon off and we could come up with

something to do.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I've got a newspaper to run.

Since when have you let a little thing like that stop you?

Okay, I'll come back.

That is, unless, of course, you're working late.

Terry, look, why don't you call before you drop by?

It would probably save us a lot of time and trouble.

You know something?

You're not nearly as much fun since you became a big shot.

You're no fun at all when you talk like a wife.

I'll see you.

I doubt it.

We always keep an eye on those floats.

Sometimes the grapes ripen faster there, and timing is everything, as Chase is

beginning to understand.

Well, you certainly beat him to the punch with Francesca.

I haven't even started yet.

First thing I'm going to do is close down his champagne operation.

That ought to tell him who's running things.

Well, if he won't have any profits for a couple of years, I'll just put it all

back in the business.

I see.

So you're trying to start him out.

Welcome to the party, Mr. Reardon.

Oh, you are tired.

Let's take a break.

Are you ready to let me see your work? Not yet.

You might not allow me to finish it, and that would be a tragedy.

What you will do with it when you are finished?

Make you a present of it, perhaps.

Oh, thank you, but I have the original.

But your Berties are handsome people.

All of them.

What a shame they dislike each other so much.

They have been very kind to me.

That is because you have something they want.

Falcon Crest.

We are family. We all share.

Chase and Angela are deadly enemies. They share only because they have to.

The slightest shift could be fatal.

How sad to think that someone as beautiful as you could innocently bring

disaster.

I think you are exaggerating.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have troubled you with it. Forgive me.

If there's a problem, however, you might consider selling your land to me. I

could make you a good price.

Oh, thank you, but Angela has already made a good price.

I promised that to her.

And you would never break a promise, of course.

Shall we go back to work?

Yes.

250.

How are you, Francesca?

Ciao, thank you.

It's good to see the winery at work.

The power has been idle for months.

Well, I'm sure Angela's windfall should change that.

I think I will name a wine after her.

Ah, high acid content, I presume.

Sour grape, nephew.

Francesca, we haven't had a chance to get to know one another. Angela's seen

that. There's no reason we should be enemies.

I'm just a guy trying to make a living in a business I love.

And I'm trying to save my business, too. My people, my winery. Do you object to

that? Absolutely not. I understand that. I think you ought to understand what

you've gotten into here.

Since I came here, Angela has tried every sleazy, low -down trick in the

drive us out.

Lawsuits, rumors, even sabotage and more.

She'd be doing the same thing to you if you hadn't played her game and agreed to

sell. As it is...

That's just a device for her to get to me.

I don't believe it.

It's the truth.

I just want you to be aware.

I don't want you to wind up getting hurt, too.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I didn't mean to hurt anybody.

I'm beginning to wish I'd never heard of Falcon Crest.

How do your parents feel about this?

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Don't tell me.

They've rented a room at the Tuscany Valley Inn for a two -day celebration,

right?

Wrong. They're clasping hands and jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.

in between, I think.

I hate hurting them.

Because I know that it hurts you.

After Angela's latest stunt that hit him twice as hard. What is she up to now?

I thought you knew.

Angela's buying Francesca's share of Falcon Crest.

That means that my inheritance will be greater than I ever dreamed of.

That's wonderful.

But what about my father?

Reduce with his share and it gives Angela the upper hand.

It won't make any difference.

Because it's all going to belong to the three of us someday. You, me, and

Joseph. I wouldn't count on it.

If Angela can get by with this, she's probably got something up her sleeve for

you, too.

Not that I've got anything against pizza.

But I saw some veal shanks in the fridge. I thought Mrs. Miller was going

make us a buka. What happened? Well, I sent her home.

She was being so cheerful.

Joseph and Cole.

I miss them, too.

Of course you do.

I'll get it. I'll get it.

Hello? This is Mike Harris, Mrs. G. Birdie.

Mike! I haven't heard from you in ages.

Where are you?

Some little town in New York. I'm just coming up for air.

I've been through every dusty hole of records in the state.

I guess it's too much to expect you found something.

I don't want to get your hopes up.

Oh, come on. It's been a long time. Get them up.

I'm not sure, but I may have a lead on your mother.

Oh, Mike, that's wonderful. Where? What? Tell me about it.

I'm sorry. I can't...

Well, come on, Mike. Tell me something. I mean a name.

A first name.

Please.

I shouldn't do this, but... Charlotte.

Charlotte. Charlotte, Charlotte. Oh, well, that's lovely.

Okay, well, thank you. And you'll call as soon as you hear anything.

I sure will. Okay, bye.

My mother's name is Charlotte.

How was I?

You did a fine job of keeping her on the hook and not telling her anything.

Mr. Channing knew about this. He'd have my hide.

Well, I won't tell if you won't.

What next?

You just stay out of sight until I need you. When the time is right, we'll see

that Maggie meets her mother.

Charlie, good night.

Charlie?

Let's hear it, Mr. Bertie.

Good evening.

Is the cat ready?

I will get it.

Well, you seem to have Charlie eating right out of your hands.

Are you going out for another date?

Yes, I'm meeting Richard.

Oh, your taste in men is appalling. But, I suppose, that's amour.

Angela.

I want to ask you a question.

Of course.

What's on your mind?

Would you sell me a gun knowing I was planning to shoot someone with it?

Well, of course not.

When I agreed to sell my land, I didn't know you would use it to hurt Chase.

I changed my mind. I hope you understand.

Well, it's a little late for that.

We have an agreement.

I want you to return it to me.

It is going to stay in my safe until you turn over your third of Falconcrest.

I'm asking you, my sister.

Oh, Francesca, don't you think Chase would have done the same thing if he had

the chance?

Even Richard.

Richard and I understand each other.

Nobody understands Richard, and if you haven't found that out, you're in for a

rude awakening.

I think now I'm beginning to wake up to many things.

Everything's going to be all right. You're going back to Italy with your

solved, and Falconcrest will be safe in the proper hands. Now, you don't want to

change your mind.

With your permission.

I want to have a party here.

I want to thank everyone for being so kind to me.

I think that's a fine idea.

Good night.

Good night.

It's very... I think there is a favor we can do for Miss Francesca Gioberti.

Hello, has Lance Compson there?

No, I've already tried.

His house, his office, his gym.

I mean, Singleton's bar in town. I thought maybe you might know where he

Not even loaded.

You want to tell me what the hell you were doing, besides giving me

palpitations? I thought I heard someone out there.

You wouldn't need this thing if you would remember to close your door and

the keys out of the lock.

What's going on, Terry?

I hate looking along.

You've always struck me as a pretty gutsy lady, but you were scared to death

just now.

You're like a terrible fool.

How about a drink?

Oh, I can't. I got a guest waiting at home.

I tried to call you several times before I came, but your line was always busy.

Something on your mind?

I wanted to talk to you about your harvest.

Sorry, it's not for sale. That's all right. We'll talk about it when you're

so jumpy.

Richard?

Yes?

Do you have to go?

Why don't you tell me what you're afraid of?

If you change your mind, you give me a call.

Oh, and, uh... You, uh... Please be careful where you point this thing the

time.

Palpitations.

Hmm.

The wine is not making you laugh tonight.

I'm sorry, but I'm feeling very far from home. There I am, the happiest, the

most content.

It's home.

You know what I mean?

I wish I did, but I don't.

I never had a home.

I wanted to put down roots at Falcon Crest, die happy, you know.

But things didn't work out.

I'm beginning to feel that Falcon Crest is like a poison that gets into your

blood and sucks out everything that is good and kind.

I don't know who to trust anymore.

Not Angela, that's for sure.

And Chase?

Well, Chase just looks out after his own.

And you?

Are you to be trusted?

I would like to think you trust me.

You have not yet told me you want my share of Falcon Crest.

Francesca, I would be lying if I said I didn't want it. I do, and badly.

I wanted to wait for a, I don't know, a right moment to make an offer for it.

But I've gotten to know you a little bit.

To know what kind of person you are, and I think I have a better idea.

Listen to me.

We're so much alike, you and I.

And together we can beat them all. We can build an international wine empire.

We can have vineyards here and in Italy.

Crush Angela and Chase like ripe grapes.

Sell me your share, teach me everything you know, and I promise you within a

year we'll own it all.

I will not be part of your vendetta.

It's not a vendetta.

They're ruthless people.

I knew you might be ruthless, too.

And I thought I wouldn't care.

To think that I was feeling so warm and safe in your arms.

I'm sorry. I want to leave now.

Certainly appears to be Julia Cumson. There is no doubt about it.

Fortunately, Doctor, that she managed to survive the fire.

And that no one will believe it.

Now, if you can carry out the rest of the operation according to our plans...

Everything is ready, exactly as you ordered.

You're awful quiet this morning.

Is anything wrong?

I didn't sleep last night.

Why didn't you wake me?

There was no sense in both of us being miserable.

Sometimes I... I get the feeling like I don't exist.

I mean, the whole world thinks I'm dead. How do I know I'm alive? I mean, it's

like a tree falling in the forest. Because I'm here and I love you.

You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, Lucas, and I love you.

I think you'd be much better off without me.

Oh, I don't want to hear that foolishness. Get over here.

There. Now everything's okay.

Coming in? No, thanks. I'll wait here.

Buy a hamburger on the way home.

Get a date.

Thanks.

Lovely. This must be my lucky day.

I've missed you.

It's your fault, not mine. I'm always available.

What are you doing here?

I'm your date tonight.

What makes you think I don't already have a date?

Because your boyfriend Lance is inside with a gorgeous young chick.

So, this is the famous Falcon Crest.

Yeah, be it ever so humble.

I'm disappointed.

Why? I was sure it would look like the Tower of London.

I wanted to give you a ride, but you'd already left.

Don't worry, Richard. I'll take care of you, darling.

Hi.

Here's to beginnings.

Yes, they're always filled with such promise.

When are you going to bring little Joseph over?

I miss him.

Maybe you can come for dinner one night this week.

We can have a barbecue.

If you'll excuse me, I'll go get us some Francesca's antipasto. Oh, good. Thank

you.

She's certainly trying.

Ah,

a charming hostess.

Oh, Mr. de Berthe.

Not exactly. This is Francesca's party. I'm just a guest.

Allow me to be your escort. Thank you.

Where should we find her tonight?

Well, she said something about a surprise and then disappeared.

Then she's been full of surprises ever since she came through the door.

Pleasant, I hope.

For some of us.

Are you tailing me again?

I was invited.

You introduced me to Francesca yourself, remember?

Who's that guy with Terry?

Works at Falcon Crest.

A mechanic.

I believe he's from a would -be hotshot race driver.

Just her style, wouldn't you say?

Quite observant.

That's what you pay me for.

I suppose you want me to watch Lance and Lorraine now I'm here.

No, I intend to do that.

And forget what I said about keeping Junior out of the turf club. They're

to see each other. I want it to be where I can see them.

I hate these things.

Excuse me.

The thing is that you don't have a date for this party either.

Well, you could get me a drink.

On one condition.

What's that?

You come with me.

This is quite a party.

Don't say I don't take you to nice places.

Just as long as it's understood.

We go our separate ways when I go.

Hey, I remember nights when you couldn't wait to leave the party and go home

with me. This isn't wonderful.

Oh, goodness, I'm so sorry.

New girl in town?

Terry Ransom, Lorraine Prescott.

You must be Richard Channing's stepdaughter.

Spending your high school vacation here?

No, actually, I'm working as an editorial assistant in the KRDC

earning credit towards a bachelor's degree in communication.

What's your field?

Well done.

All right, everyone.

Francesca has an announcement.

Francesca?

Francesca? and family of Falcons fans.

Thank you all for coming.

I have invited you here for a very special reason.

You have tasted our Italian food and wine, and now I would like to do an

dance for you.

It is called the Tarantella.

It is an old festive dance.

Originally said...

To be the cure for the sting of a tarantula.

You must dance the person away.

Otherwise, you will go mad or die.

oh wow

Thank you.

I have now danced away the poison.

Your poison.

You are the tarantula who made me sick and sad with your greed, your hatred,

your plot.

In Italy, my people, they love each other.

There, I am proud to be a Gioberti.

I didn't find a family.

Here I am ashamed.

Francesca!

Now that you've seen the truth about these people, I have something to give

Your agreement with Angel.

What is this?
