I'm having lunch with Charlotte Pershing at the Turf Club. You know very well

that until recently she had a serious gambling problem.

Chase, I've heard something. Something big over at Richard's. Haven't you been

over this already?

You've got to hear this, Chase. You're in real danger.

Did you and Reardon make it to the stables? Or is that racehorse just an

That's enough, Colin. No, it's not! I want the truth out of you for once, and

want it right now.

What are you doing here?

You might say I was doing a little housecleaning.

When this light's green, it means there's no wiretapping here.

And if it's red, that means trouble. That's fascinating. No, you get out and

hang it on your mother or be in any second.

No sweat.

Just your friendly neighborhood gas man.

Look, first you drag me through Richard's house planting bugs. Now I

mine looking for them. How long is this going to go on? As long as the cartel

keeps trying to destroy you. I need your help, Chase.

I'm not interested in giving you the kind of help you need.

If someone's making a run at Falcon Crest, it stands to reason that they're

bugging Angela Channing's place, too. I need an introduction to get in there.

Ben.

Ben here is from the gas company. They thought we had a leak.

Fortunately, you don't.

You will call our office tomorrow, okay?

Yeah, sure.

Good night, ladies.

Good night.

Find your way out.

Well, how about lunch on Thursday in the city at the park window?

Oh, that's fabulous.

You're going to love this place. It has this magnificent view of the entire bay.

You two are spoiling me rotten.

I love it.

I'm exhausted, darling. I'll go up to bed. Okay, sweetheart.

Good night. See you in the morning.

Good night.

A little late for our gas man, is it?

No, not if you've got a lead.

Well,

everything's ready for our meeting with Chase and Richard.

I must say, you certainly do have a way with the judiciary.

Judge Mitchell and I have talked the same language for years.

Have you set up my trust yet?

Yes, almost, apart from a few small details that need to be left tied up.

But you can rest assured that by the weekend, Lance will be reinstated as

aunt. And Melissa will be out in the cold, where she belongs.

Oh, good morning. Good morning. Good morning.

Chase. Mr. Reardon.

Richard, why don't we all sit down?

Oh, thank you.

And we'll have a little coffee, maybe.

Oh, oh, thank you.

We've been going over your proposal for the production of bulk wine.

It's not even worth discussing. It would cheapen everything Falcon Crest stands

for.

Helpful as ever, brother.

Why don't we let our partner here have her say?

Oh, we have a proposal.

Greg, why don't you tell Richard about it?

This is a temporary restraining order to prevent you doing any business with

Falcon Cliff pending corporate reorganization.

I'm a little disappointed. I had hoped for some cooperation for a change.

You both know how hard I can fight for something when I want it badly enough,

and I want this very badly.

I'll be seeing you.

Soon.

Francesca's third is legally his.

You should worry less about legalities and more about how are you going to stop

him. You know, I've never been a fan of your tactics, but in this case...

I share your feelings.

Francesca's plan to bring this family back together wasn't so mad after all.

It's the first time I've seen you two agree about anything.

Well, don't get used to it.

Amen.

46. Come on, Melissa.

Seven. I think I'm going to have a heart attack. It's adding years to your life.

And one more.

And 50.

There. That wasn't so bad, was it? No.

My whole body just stayed in shock.

We have to get those muscles relaxed.

Turn over.

Oh, hey.

Oh,

I hurt.

Oh, maybe I can make you feel better.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah.

Just hold that thought.

Hello.

Hi. I'm glad you're home.

I thought you should know that Small Virtue's very sick.

What's wrong with her?

We don't know yet.

The vet's checking her now.

I'll be right over.

There's something wrong with the small virtue. I've got to get over to Greg's

right away. Don't you think he can handle it?

I've got a quarter of a million dollars invested in that horse.

Why don't you come with me?

Uh, no, I've got some paperwork to do.

Go ahead.

Okay.

Just get back as soon as you can, okay?

Let her commence her therapy. Do you understand what you're supposed to do?

I do.

Let's begin.

Hello, Julian.

There's no need to be afraid.

I'm Dr. Debussy.

You remember?

Yes.

You're the one that stopped Dr.

Walker from doing the operation on me.

You saved me.

I was merely performing my medical duties, nothing more.

Come, sit down.

I am a psychiatrist.

I'm here to help you to come to terms with your mother.

I'm afraid that's a lost cause.

You see, I don't ever want to have anything to do with my mother again.

I feel that we'd better begin therapy at once.

I'm not insane.

I've been in prison, and I've tried loving my mother.

And prison was easier.

Oh, I'd like you to meet Mr. Fierce, a former patient, now an esteemed

colleague.

How do you do?

When Mr. Fierce first came to me, he, too, was a very troubled soul.

With Dr. de Berthe's help, I'm now well and happy.

You should listen carefully to him.

I appreciate your concern, but I don't need psychiatric treatment.

If... If you need anything, call me.

I won't keep you here again, Jim.

You can leave whenever you like.

But wait!

I don't really have any place to go.

You see, I can't go home, and I really can't go back to Lucas again.

Julia, it is my opinion that you do need treatment, more than you can know.

Stay as long as you like.

Hey.

What are you doing up?

I had a bad dream.

You did?

Come up here and tell me about it.

A big monster was chasing me.

It was?

Did it catch you?

No. I woke up.

It was Mommy.

She had to go out.

Don't worry.

She'll be back soon.

The fever's still very high.

The ataxia, her lack of coordination, seems to indicate encephalitis.

Could she die?

Well, we'll know more after we run the blood test through the lab.

Just keep a close eye on her until I get back.

We'll certainly do that.

Thanks, Gil.

Two of those tablets every hour.

Keep a close watch on her eyes now.

I hope you know how much we're pulling for you, girl.

You know,

when I turned 13, I was given my first horse.

He had a hip problem.

I had a guarantee, of course. My father wanted to take him back.

But King Arthur was my horse, my steed.

And I wasn't going to give him up that easy.

What happened?

I kept him.

We saw each other through a lot of rough times. He lived a lot longer than he

was supposed to, I can tell you that.

She's a good horse, Melissa.

And she's got good owners who love her very much.

We've gone through this before. I love Carl.

Somehow I always seem to get other signals.

Well, then you're picking up the wrong signal.

Am I?

Any word on Richard Channing?

Our bank in Geneva is ready to purchase the mortgage on his share of Falcon

Crest. Excellent.

Have them proceed immediately.

Let them use the name of my late father.

The world does not yet know that he's dead.

That should cause Richard Channing some sleepless nights.

Exactly my point.

Fear will make a careful person do careless things.

Mr. Friedman, there's activity at the Channing household.

Turn up the volume.

Thanks, Helen.

She'll be right down.

Okay.

Nice girl. Make it fast before Angela gets down and leaves.

Someone's doing an electronic sweep of the Channing study.

Jam it.

What would happen?

Oh, I'm not sure.

Could be CB interference, maybe shortwave.

It's all clear now.

I believe we've stopped the sweep.

What are you doing?

One can never be too careful.

I'll tell you, I've about had it with this business after today. You're on

own.

Angela? Uh, this is Ben Landale.

Private investigator I've hired to look into Richard Channing's background.

Well, that's one of the best ideas you've had in years. How do you do, Mr.

Landale? Mrs. Channing?

Sit down.

Thank you.

Now, how can I help you?

I could use any information you have on Richard Channing, history, friends.

Richard doesn't have any friends, but he does have an interesting history.

For instance?

Well, there was a Sister Maria Therese in a convent right outside of Paris, and

she told me that Chase's mother brought Richard to her convent when he was just

a baby.

Why would she do that?

Well, I wouldn't venture an opinion on Jacqueline's fitness as a mother.

You just did.

It seems that she didn't feel she could raise the child, and later she sold him

to a man named Henry Denault.

I understand he was desperate for a son.

Henry Denault, the dark angel of Paris?

Do you know him?

Well, he was famous in France, or infamous, as a Nazi collaborator.

Isn't that about the most sordid thing you've ever heard?

Trading a child for something valuable.

Didn't you involve Joseph in something similar to that not long ago, Angela?

Sounds like Sister Marie Therese is someone worth talking to.

I'm afraid she's dead.

Well, I'm sure there'll be somebody at the convent I can speak with.

Thanks for your time, Mr. Channing.

You're very welcome. That man is no private investigator.

Find out who he is and what his business is. Top priority, theorist.

I missed you. I missed you so much.

Oh, I spent 15 hours in a stinky stable and I still get a hug. That must be true

love, huh?

A small virtue.

Well, it was a pretty horrible night, but the vet finally found out it was

a tick infection, so she's going to be just fine.

Where's Joseph?

My parents.

Dropped him off this morning.

No, why didn't you call?

Cole, you knew where I was.

I didn't know how long you were going to be there.

Cole, Greg and I just spent 15 hours with a thick horse.

Okay, I'm not going to explain it to you because there is nothing to explain.

Nothing happened between Greg and me. Okay.

Nothing happened.

You going to pick up Joseph?

Yeah.

I guess I'll just say you have to work.

What are you doing?

And what the hell are you doing in my car?

Hi.

Lance and I have a race on Saturday. 5 ,000 winner take all.

I need a fast car.

I thought maybe we could work something out. You thought wrong.

I'm not going to do a damn thing for you, not after that last little stunt

pulled. That necklace meant a lot to me. I know.

I'm sorry.

Terry, I'm getting off the stuff. I'm going straight. I don't expect you to

believe me. Just watch. I'll prove it to you.

An engagement ring.

I know it's not as nice as Michael's or the first one I gave you.

But I want us to get married.

Tomorrow. No buts at the time.

Some proposal.

I love you.

Bad enough to get you any way I have to.

Okay.

But I don't want to get married on the spur of the moment.

If we're going to do this, I want to do it right.

Okay. Two weeks.

You're the bride. You make the arrangements.

Now, uh... Can I borrow the car on Saturday?

Good morning.

Morning. Just wanted to say goodbye before I go to work.

Hold on there.

Why don't we have dinner tonight?

I'm sorry, I can't. I have a special project to finish up at the station.

Oh? How about Sunday?

It's come down to that, has it? I have to make an appointment to see my own

daughter.

Well, it could be worth it. I could ask you to speak with my secretary.

Richard, I... See you later.

Richard, I've just spoken to the bank. They've sold your mortgage on Falcon

Crest to some Geneva banker called Weller.

He purchased it for Johan Riedman.

I wonder how Reedman found out about the mortgage.

I'm sure that Ferris found out for him.

What I want to know is why Reedman is being so brazen about this.

Because he wants me to know, Pamela. It's a warning. He's tightening the

Mom?

I've laid him on the air in a half an hour or so.

I'll see you later, okay? Okay, don't worry about me. I have plenty to do. Oh,

gosh, my old family album.

I'm catching up. Okay.

You better hurry. I don't want a daughter of mine late for work.

I won't be. Bye -bye. Have a good one.

Hello?

Charlotte, this is Angela Channing.

I was wondering if you had any plans for lunch today.

How thoughtful of you. No, I don't have anything planned today.

Well, perhaps you'd have lunch with me.

I could have you picked up about one o 'clock.

Okay, thanks.

I'll see you then.

You're looking very pleased with yourself.

I'm taking Charlotte Pershing to lunch at the Turf Club.

You know very well that until recently she had a serious gambling problem.

Can you hope to gain by tempting her like that?

Time.

I want to tie Chase's hands for a while.

Angela, even for you, that is contemptible. What's contemptible is

called the U .S. Attorney's Office with those allegations against me.

Now, I'm going to keep him diverted as long as possible.

Yeah.

And that should do very nicely.

Three minutes.

Well, it's almost post -time.

We'll have to place our bets.

Oh, I'm not interested in gambling.

But you go ahead.

Oh, but it's such fun.

And you never can tell when you might hit it big.

No, thanks.

Well, let me say that the first bet is on me.

You know, I feel very lucky today. I think that I'm going to bet on number

eight. Angela.

According to the form, this number six horse, it's a better horse. See, it's

dropping down in class.

I think you should bet the sixth horse.

Oh.

No,

no, I think I'll still bet number eight.

Ladies and gentlemen, all wagers on number five.

Put this on number six.

to put all of it on number six to win.

Well, your interest certainly perked up.

Didn't it?

You don't have to go through with it.

I told you, I don't have any choice.

He didn't exactly propose to me on bended knee.

Look, you promised to get me out of this.

No, I promised to get you documents that would make it appear that you were

divorced in the first place. Now I've got people working around the clock to

that. And if they don't, then I only have two weeks to enjoy my freedom.

And everything Michael left you.

And everything Michael left me.

I'll keep you posted.

I don't know that much about wine, but isn't this one a little young?

Well, you know, sometimes young ones are surprisingly good.

I have a race with Joel on Saturday. Do you want to be my cheerleader?

I think it's stupid.

A publisher of a newspaper hot -riding against some grease monkey?

Why do you bother?

I don't know.

I guess I'm hooked on excitement.

Count me out.

I don't even want to talk about it anymore.

Okay.

I think we've done enough talking already.

When's your grandmother get home?

Not for a long time.

She took Emma to the opera.

And if there's one thing my grandmother likes almost as much as treachery, it's

Verdi.

What about Chow Lee?

You're not worried about Chow Lee or my grandmother.

It's me.

I know how I feel about you.

I need to know how you feel about me.

When I first saw you at the turf club, I wanted to make love to you, no

question.

But after our first date, I wanted to love you.

And as hard as it is for me, it's still a lie.

Put that girl down.

Nice to see you again, Lorraine. Nice seeing you too, Emma, Mrs. Channing.

I thought you two went to the opera.

The opera is tomorrow night.

Oh.

Let's get out of here.

girl doesn't seem half as shy as she used to be.

Oh, honey, I'm so glad you're home.

Something's wrong.

It's Mother.

I left this morning. She's fine. She had lunch with Angela. Now she's packing to

leave. Oh, come on. Having lunch with Angela could upset anybody. Well, I

it's a little... Well, I'm all packed.

I'll be leaving first thing in the morning.

Oh, I just thought it best I go home now, Chase.

Did Angela say something to hurt you?

Oh, no.

I enjoyed our lunch very much, really.

Well, was it something that we did?

Or didn't do? I mean, are you upset because I haven't been able to spend

time with you?

Oh, no, darling, no, of course not.

I mean, you've both been wonderful. It's just that I'm confused.

It's been hard for me.

Well, it's been hard for me, too. I look at you, I see... I see all of these

lost years.

Now, how are we ever going to be able to change that if you leave now?

I'll stay.

Don't go.

Thank you. Of course, I'll stay.

Good.

Good.

Hello.

Jace, I've heard something.

Something big over at Richard's. Now, listen, haven't we been over this

You've got to hear this, Chase. You're in real danger.

Meet me tomorrow at noon at the Tuscany Crossroad.

I'm sorry.

There seems to be some trouble with a distributor. I'm afraid I'm going to

to cancel our lunch tomorrow.

We made this plan days ago. Can't you reschedule the meeting?

I don't know.

No, I can't.

But I'll make it up. I promise, I'll make it up. You're a busy man, Chase.

I will.

I'll make it up.

You sure it's all right about today?

Oh, come on, I'm positive.

Look, we'll just go on our own.

Come on, I'll help you out with that.

I had a note at the box who wanted to see me.

Here I am, boss.

Sit down, Rainey.

Very pretty.

Imagine my surprise in not finding you at breakfast this morning, or not

you anywhere at all in my house.

All right, Richard.

I spent the night with Lance at the Tuscany Inn.

There, are you happy now?

No. I'm not happy that you lied to me about what you were doing last night.

What would you have done in my place knowing how much you hate Lance? Lance

not important. I'm worried about you.

Anybody who gets involved with that family ends up getting hurt, or worse.

I've heard those same rumors about you. We're not talking about me, young lady.

And if you're going to hide, please don't do it behind sophomore logic.

you hide behind your arrogance. You don't know everything.

You don't know Lance like I do.

And as I recall, my mother's parents weren't exactly thrilled with you

They were right, too.

Your mother discovered her mistake the hard way.

Then I'll find out quite on my own, too, won't I? No matter what. And if he

breaks your heart, God forbid Lance Compson could break your heart. What an

awful thing to say.

Sometimes you make me hate you, Richard.

And I just wish to God you'd stop.

Richard, I've just spoken to the bank. They've sold your mortgage on Falcon

Crest to some Geneva banker called Weller.

He purchased it for Johann Riedman.

I wonder how Riedman found out about the mortgage.

I'm sure that Spheer has found out for him.

Now, I'd say that's proof positive the cartel's making a run at Falcon Press.

Richard's in the thick of it.

What's your next move?

Learn more about Richard's connection to the cartel. I want to find Johann

Riedman. I'm going to Europe on Monday.

I want to visit the convent where his sister Marie Therese lived.

And I want to talk to that banker, Weller.

I'll be packed and ready.

You'll what?

I'm going with you. No, you're not.

Yes, I am. You're not!

It's between the professional good guys and bad guys now.

Look, the minute my family got caught in the crossfire between Richard and that

cartel, I got drafted permanently.

Okay. All right.

On one condition.

You don't breathe a word of this to Maggie.

How else am I going to explain a trip to Europe and all the other weirdness

that's been going on? You don't.

It's for her protection.

Ben. Listen. Listen to me.

This Ferris that Pamela Lynch mentioned.

He's an internationally known assassin.

He's never been photographed. We don't know what he looks like.

But we do know he is deadly.

And he's somewhere in this valley.

Sure sounds like it, doesn't it?

Hello, Lance. Sit down.

I want to talk to you about something very important.

The future of Falcon Crest.

Well, shouldn't you be talking to your heir about that?

I am.

The only reason I made Melissa my heir last year was because you were so

immature and so arrogant.

And, of course, you needed Joseph to get your half of Falcon Crest back.

Don't be flippant.

I'm reinstating you in the will because I think you've grown up.

Now, don't prove me wrong so quickly.

Okay, no, I'm glad.

But what's in it for you?

Don't look a gift legacy in the mouth, Lance.

There's no catch.

Really?

You mean you're not going to try to tell me how to run my life anymore?

You're talking about that tawdry little affair of last night. The less said

about that, the better.

I think we should conclude this before it gets out of hand. No.

You're going to get used to Lorraine, Grandmother, because she just might be a

permanent fixture in this house.

Not if I can help it. You're going to get used to her.

Do you know why?

Because my mother's dead, Amethyst's ghost, and Melissa's Marin Cole, son of

your enemy.

You have no other heirs, Grandmother.

I'm in.

You speak to me with respect in this house.

Now, as long as I'm alive, I will not have you involved with Richard

stepdaughter. You have no other choice.

Oh, and, uh, thanks.

Hello, hello.

Hi.

I hope we're not late. No, we were just about to sit down.

Are Cole and Melissa here?

No, they called them. They came up. They can't make it. Hi, sweetheart.

That's too bad.

We want the whole family to hear the news.

Why don't you tell them?

What news?

Joel and I are engaged to be married.

It's happening so fast. I mean, one minute they go to a party together, the

minute they're engaged. It doesn't make any sense. You don't seem like your

typical lovers. No.

You know, and I've never felt comfortable with him. Right from the

I met him.

I don't know. He started out doing pretty well at the winery.

But he's gotten erratic, showing up to work late, sometimes not even coming in

at all.

Please, what incentive does he have? But his fiancée is well off at Terry's.

I know this isn't exactly great timing, but I've got a flight to Europe next

week.

When did that come up? Well, I've been doing an inventory of our oak barrels.

They're in pretty bad shape. I've got to get replacements.

Well, could it wait a couple of days? I'll see if I can get some time off and

take a little vacation.

That would be nice.

I can't. Not with the harvest coming up.

That's it? End of discussion?

I've got to make this trip. What's to discuss?

Let's start with how you've been acting lately.

I mean, something is going on, something that you're not telling me about. That

is not true.

Oh.

It's not true. Fine, fine, fine. Excuse me. I'm going to bed.

Maggie.

I'm sorry I never made it to your folks' dinner, but the traffic coming in from

the city was just horrible.

How was it?

I don't know.

Joseph and I didn't make it.

Why?

Because I didn't want to have to make any more excuses for you than I already

have, Melissa.

You didn't have to make excuses for me. You knew I went into the city. Is that

why your car was parked over at Reardon's an hour ago?

I stopped over there on my way home. I wanted to see how Small Virtue was

So how was she?

Did you and Reardon make it to the stables, or is that racehorse just an

That's enough, Colin. No, it's not!

I want the truth out of you for once, and I want it right now. What is going

between you two?

Nothing is going on!

Aren't you ever going to believe me? After everything that's happened, I

know if I can.

All right, I'm going to tell you everything.

Because if I don't, this relationship is not going to last through the night.

Yes, Greg kissed me, and yes, he wanted to do more, but nothing else happened.

Something did happen, Melissa. My God, we're engaged to be married, and you let

that happen?

Doesn't that mean anything to you?

It means everything to me. I love you. I love Joseph and our life together, I

swear to you. I won't ever do anything to jeopardize that.

I wish I could believe you.

Cole.

I won't give up until you...

to disturb you. You're not disturbing me. Life is disturbing me. I just don't

seem to be able to concentrate today.

I'm glad we get our office supplies wholesale.

I come to see the doctor. The doctor's not well.

What's bothering you?

Oh, I don't know, Richard.

What?

Charlotte.

I don't know. Maybe you can't really make up for all those lost years.

No, you can't.

And it's a mistake to try.

Really?

Try as I might to make Lorraine into the little girl in pigtails I left behind.

She won't go for it. Can you imagine?

Bound and determined to be an adult.

I've decided that getting to know one's child is just as difficult as getting to

know one's parent.

Richard.

I need your signature on this, please.

Oh, Pamela, I want you to have Maggie's mother picked up and taken to the turf

club.

Treating her to a day at the races.

Oh, Richard, that's very thoughtful. Thank you. I think she'll like that.

I don't know, dear.

I don't want to be a bother.

I do like horse races. I like horse races very much.

Tell him I'll be ready in 20 minutes.

I want this desk moved right down here, over against that west wall. Then I want

all these barrels out of here. Put that down. Hail, hail, the gang's all here.

What the heck are you doing?

Setting up an office, that's what.

A little cramped in here at first. I thought I was going to have to move in

one of you. But I have found an old storage room.

In case you've forgotten, I have a restraining order against you. A

restraining order, as I recall, Angela.

That is an order revoking your order.

Judge Mitchell accepts my checks, too.

I can't wait to have you thrown out on your ear.

Fair enough.

Oh, in the meantime, I need to know which one of you wants the storage room.

Looking real good.

Cool it, Lance.

I'm an engaged woman.

Or haven't you heard?

Oh, no, no. I heard. I was talking about the car.

Hey, hot shot.

Bring your five grand.

I got it.

I'll tell you something, though. If you move as fast with this car as you do

with Terry, I'm in trouble.

You got your bucks?

My bet's covered.

We'll do a full circle around and come back here.

May the best man win.

Yeah.

Be careful.

Land's place for keeps.

So do I.

And I've never been more ready for a race in my life.

You're not high, are you? No, I'm just excited.

Drop this scarf when we're ready.

out there. Hey, take it easy. It's a great race.

Congratulations.

Not good enough, pal.

Joe, leave him alone.

You won the race. What else do you want, buddy?

Just hold on a second. I'll get your money for you.

Here's your winnings.

Enjoy them.

I told

you not to mess with him.

He's going to be sorry he did that.

He's going to be real sorry.

Thank you.
