Reardon. You've got to come down and bail me out.

Aren't you even interested in your grandmother's condition?

She thinks I tried to kill her. Maybe because she saw you run her off the

I didn't want anybody to get hurt. I just wanted Lance to look bad to Angela.

How about my pay?

You freaked out creep.

Lance Compson isn't guilty of that attack on Angela Chin.

How do you know that?

Melissa Compson paid me to do it.

All right, Joel, don't be foolish. Let's talk this out.

No. There's no more time for talk.

Yep, Reardon.

Greg, glad to hear your voice. Listen, I'm in a slammer.

You've got to come down and bail me out.

Aren't you even interested in your grandmother's condition?

Sure, sure I am.

But look, they got me booked in here for some cockamamie murder charge I don't

know anything about.

What do you mean, her condition? What's wrong?

Yeah, hold on.

Who's that?

The doctor said for you to take it easy and not get upset.

He's in jail and wants me to go and bail him out.

So, you're in jail.

Good. I hope you rot there.

What's going on around here?

Sheriff, I've got to make another call. I've got to find a lawyer.

You only get one.

I don't want false arrests.

Delaney, am I glad to see you.

Uh, this is my editor -in -chief, Sheriff. I got here as fast as I could.

One of our reporters called in a story. The Globe attorney's working on getting

you released.

Good. Uh, my grandmother took Reardon off my case.

She really thinks I tried to kill her. Maybe because she saw you run her off

road. We're impounding your car, by the way, as evidence.

Come on, Sheriff.

Come on!

I have problems with the old girl once in a while, but to try to kill her, no

way. Let me remind you, Lance, you are putting yourself out on a limb. Oh, wait

a second. I know. Anything I say can and will be held against me. Easy does it.

Easy does it. Nothing.

What's going on around here? Everybody's gone crazy.

Oh, listen, I want a mobile unit on this. Get an interview with Lance at the

sheriff's office, and then get a hold of the doctor who examined his

grandmother. Now, do some digging. Get going.

All right, what about the editor?

Make the point that this is one crime that no one can possibly connect with

racetrack. And another thing, you know, if the cream of society can't stay on

the straight and narrow, how can they possibly expect the average man out

on the street to obey all the rules?

All right, I get your point, Richard. However, I do not think that Lance tried

to kill Angela, nor do I think you think that, so that I cannot write... All of

the evidence says he did, Maggie, and we have an obligation to tell our

listeners what's going on. You have an obligation to tell the truth.

You're slanting the news, Richard.

I'm not slanting the news, young lady. I didn't arrest your friend, but that is

exactly the kind of thing you expect from him.

Richard, he has not been proven guilty.

Maggie's right.

You're trying to convict him in the media.

Okay, fine, go ahead. Go ahead, Richard, but you'll do it without me.

I'm gonna help Len.

Lorraine. Let her go!

going to help land you can't tell her what a heel he is she's going to have to

find out for herself you are becoming obsessive about lands that is coloring

every get going on that editorial only if i can write it the way i see it

write it any

way you want

that is difficult to comprehend.

Angela Channing, a director and part owner of the Falcon Crest Winery, was

driving to the annual meeting of... How did you

get in here?

As you heard, I can do most anything.

You freaked out, Craig.

I didn't want anybody to get hurt. I just wanted Lance to look bad to Angela.

And you think he didn't?

Look, she just got a little shook up. It could have been a lot worse. But it

wasn't.

Now, how about my money?

I should refuse to do this.

Wouldn't be very smart.

Your friend, Cole Giberti, is going to be home real soon.

I don't think you'd want him to know anything about this.

Blow it on, Coke.

I've had my last high. I'm going to settle down with Terry.

Maybe I'll see you around.

I don't like to throw my weight around, but as a member of the board of

supervisors, I'm entitled to protect...

Also, I'd like a list of your deputies who'd be interested in picking up part

-time work as security guards. I don't encourage that.

It's not against the rules.

They can use the money because your board of supervisors won't increase our

budget. Save it for the next supervisors' meeting.

How'd you like a nice brochure on security equipment, huh?

Thank you.

I'm taking bids on it with them.

I wish I could talk you out of carrying a gun.

Dan, I have a family to protect.

Let's go get the permit.

Ladies and gentlemen, this afternoon's A -Trade is the featured $500 ,000

Tuscany Downs Handicap at a mile and a quarter.

A reminder, there's special executive wagering on the A -Trade.

Charlotte? Is that you?

Trust me.

Hold it, lady.

You're not supposed to be in here. Oh, no, no, no, no. She's with me. It's all

right.

Okay, Mrs. Perkins.

Oh, you must be somebody now. You look great.

Oh, Charlotte, it's so nice to see you again. It's been a long time, Matthew.

I know.

Where you been?

I've been looking for you all the way from Delmar to Baymeadow.

I was off the horses for almost two years.

Maxie, I've recently found someone very special to me.

My daughter I hadn't seen since birth.

Oh, Charlotte.

How nice for you.

Is she here?

No, no. Some friends of hers have connections with this. Sorry.

Great.

We'll have us a good old time just like we used to.

Hey, I got a tip on the next race.

You bet.

Sure, I'll bet.

And listen, I'm depending on you to bring me luck.

Look,

I need that proof you promised me, Richard.

Joel thinks we're getting married next week.

Just what the doctor ordered. Believe me, Terry, everything is being done to

expedite getting you the documents you need to prove you're divorced. But it is

not an easy thing to do.

Just relax.

All right? It's going to be fine. It's going to work out.

Mr. Reardon, Lance is here with the young lady.

Your grandmother is not to be disturbed. I think you'd better leave. You want to

try to throw me out?

Now, stop that and listen to me.

You're not welcome here, Lance Compton, and neither is that little tramp that's

with you.

You leave her out of this.

She is out of it.

And so are you.

Look, Grandmother, I have no idea who it was. I never saw his face.

The guy took my jacket out of my car, tried to make it look like I forced you

off the road. You did force me off the road. Lance would never hurt you,

Thank you, Emma. I didn't. I couldn't have. I wasn't there.

Well, then who was it? I just didn't dream this up.

I mean, the deputies even saw it happen, too. Come on! I have enemies. Any one

of them could have tried to frame me. It could have been Richard, Chase, Cole,

Melissa. She's not that happy that you set up that trust for me. Well, she's

going to be happy when she finds it's unset up by Greg.

Yeah, as far as your being beneficiary. You see?

Her plan worked, right?

I'm out and she's in. Now, that makes sense to me. Terry Ransom would like to

see Lance hurt, too. She was angry because he was at the... If you have

important to say...

Don't. Grandmother, take it easy with her. The fight we had over her started

this whole thing. That's not true.

And I didn't try to kill you.

Lance, Angela wants you out of here, and for good.

Mother, stop them. No one who wants to kill me can stay in this house.

Just let us know where you want us to send your personal effect.

Please, no trouble, Lance.

Thank you, Charlie.

I know that wasn't easy.

It wasn't easy for any of us, Mother. And I know you're sure that Lance did

But I also know that you haven't had your eyes checked in a very, very long

time. Oh, Emma.

Oh, Mother.

Sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have an ungrateful child.

Thankless.

I think Shakespeare had King Lear's hair thankless, child.

Oh, what does he know?

A bit overdone, isn't it?

But you ordered a gourmet dinner for Julia Cunningham, sir.

I wanted a reward for cooperating, not overwhelm her.

But I only thought, sir, since she was born to this lifestyle, she would

appreciate the elegance.

So I took the liberty of providing her with a simple evening gown for the

occasion.

Simple evening gown.

You look divine.

Thank you.

I remember my first formal dinner party, how nervous and excited I was.

I feel very much the same way tonight.

Thank you.

Oh.

It's all so lovely.

Reminds me of happier times.

Their table is exquisite.

Right down to this.

Single perfect rose.

I thank you.

You enhance my setting immeasurably.

It's like waking up from a bad dream.

The nightmare of what I did.

The endless days in prison.

You have no idea what it feels like to have that barred door closed behind you.

I had to escape or I would die.

Let it flow, Julia.

It will purge your soul.

I appreciate your help, Dr. Deversi, but some things will never change.

Not as long as I keep hearing the voices and wake up thinking I'm still behind

bars.

That too will pass.

Some things never will.

I still want to kill my mother.

Yeah, his name was J.

Benson Landale.

Herb, we're in Geneva. He just disappeared.

And you're sure he was with the government agency?

Yes.

Well, Chase, we made a hell of a team in the FAA battle.

I'll put out some feelers here that you can check on when you arrive tomorrow.

Herb, I really appreciate that.

I'm determined to follow up on it. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.

Some new developments on Angela's trying to manipulate the FAA.

I'm going to Washington tomorrow and check on it.

Herb's helping me on that end. Boy, you're going to be a real jet setter,

you?

I'll only be there a day or so. You'll hardly know I'm gone.

Honey, I'll know you're gone. You just got back from Europe.

I'm sorry.

Everything just seems to be happening at once.

Chase, I just... I've got to get back.

Bye, Chase.

Bye, Charlotte.

Bye, Dave.

I'm so glad you're here.

I can use the company.

Oh.

Chase does seem a little preoccupied lately.

Yeah.

Doesn't he?

Would you like a glass of wine, a drink, or something? No, I don't think so.

Well, sit down here. Tell me all about your day.

Well, let's see.

I met an old friend at the track today. Oh, how nice.

Maxine McCoy. Uh -huh. She's lots of fun, and she likes races as much as I

Oh, I didn't see.

You know, I never really got into the whole, you know, track thing.

When did you?

Oh, years ago.

I was singing at a little club in Miami.

Since my time off was during the day, I started going to Hialeah.

It was fun. I met a lot of night people there.

Well, maybe one day you'll take me and teach me how to make a smart bet.

Handicapping? No, that's golf. No, no, no, handicapping. It is handicapping.

Okay.

Well. I am going to go check on Mrs. Miller and see if she's even thought

dinner. Be right back.

Okay.

Oh, I can't tell you what it rang.

I can.

Oh, no.

Hello.

Hi, Greg.

Uh -huh.

Oh, listen, Greg. I'm really glad that small virtue hits us a good workout

today.

But let me call you back in the morning, all right?

Yes, we will.

Good night.

Cole, please.

Well, take the phone off the hook.

When we get married, this is going to stop.

Don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do. What is the matter with you?

Obviously, you need someone to do your thinking for you.

I'll see you around.

Carl, wait a minute.

We're not through.

Yes, we are.

You listen to me.

The only reason you're still alive is because I got you off that plane.

You what?

I paid the winery worker to call and tell you there was something wrong with

your precious champagne.

I only did it because I loved you and because I wanted you.

What happened to her could have happened to you.

Cole,

please. Where are you going? I'm going to get away from you.

Huh? Not bad, huh?

Where'd you get the stuff, Joel?

Where'd you get the money to pay for it?

Look, I'm starting over. I had a good day at the track. I went shopping in the

city. It's going to take a lot more clothes for you to kick your habit.

What I need is you, Terry.

With you, I can do anything.

Where'd you get the money, Joel?

All right, I did a special driving job, and then I had a good day at the track.

Really?

You said next week.

Friday. Next Friday.

Now, leave me alone. I'm tired.

Terry.

I don't get it.

Every inquiry we've made has had negative results.

Yeah. I guess I was wrong. Maybe Ben didn't work for the government.

It's not just that.

There's no record of him in anybody's files.

These days, that's impossible.

It seems as if J. Benson Landale never even existed.

Exactly. And why?

Yes?

Mr. Giberti has a call. He wouldn't give his name.

Put it through.

Hello? Yes, this is Chase Ebert.

What?

Stop looking for J. Benson Landale, or you'll end up like he did.

Dead.

What? Oh, lovely morning, isn't it?

Oh, what kind of torture is this?

You ordered me to let you know immediately I had proof of Terry's

Well, a messenger woke me up first thing this morning, so now I'm doing the same

to you.

Special delivery.

Now Terry's not only a merry widow, she's also a gay divorcee.

The retro... Let me go. I am not playing post office with you

anymore. Now let me go.

Oh, now, business before pleasure.

Don't count on the pleasure.

All right.

Lance has moved into the Tuscany Inn.

It appears that Angela has kicked him out of Falcon Crest. Good.

Now all we've got to do is get him out of the valley.

Well, there is something you should know that might not make you quite so happy.

Lorraine has moved into the Tuscany Inn with him.

Yep.

Phonus interruptus.

Let it ring.

I'm still the publisher of a newspaper.

Well, operator?

Oh, it's Delaney, my editor.

I don't care.

Yeah, Ralph. No, no, no, it's fine.

It's okay.

Oh.

Uh -huh.

I'll be right there.

I watched the sun come up over the vineyards.

I didn't get much sleep last night.

Neither did I.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

I didn't want to hurt you. I just wanted... Let me go first. I'm the one

should be apologizing.

Getting me off that plane, you did what you wanted to.

I should have been that determined to win you away from that.

No, I don't want you to change. You acted on instinct.

You get all fouled up trying to think things through.

Like my dad, I guess. That's okay.

Stiff upper lip here.

Really hurting inside.

If you hadn't gotten me off that plane, Joseph might not have a father now.

And we would have had some really great times together.

I've been thinking all night, too.

And I'm going to call Greg and Eleanor.

You can do whatever you want with your life.

It's causing too much trouble.

We're going to fight about this, too.

I'm too tired to fight.

How are you doing with Melissa?

All we have in common is one racehorse.

That'll never pay off.

Well, it could.

If we have a winner and we bet on it.

Or maybe not bet on it.

What kind of double talk is that?

Well, I have a friend who has a gelding. It's very popular with the bettors.

He's entering it today in a mile and an eighth. But he himself won't be betting

on a rank outsider.

More double talk?

No, not really.

You see, not many people know that my friend's horse runs out of steam after a

mile. But the outsider runs well in a long race.

You mean betting on your friend's horse would be a losing proposition?

Today, yes.

What's the name of the horse?

Easy Ernie.

The sixth race, I believe.

You know, I have a friend who just loves solid chips.

I just may call her a little later.

It's good to see you happy.

Lord knows you haven't had much to smile about lately.

I've run out of polish and my nails are a mess.

Oh, no problem. I have a whole drawer full right here.

There you go. Why don't you work in here?

I'm going to work anyway.

Oh, good. I love this room. Okay.

Ah, look at this.

Every time I take my pearls out of the safety deposit box, you know, I look for

clever places around the house to hide them. First place the thief would look.

That's right.

I've done the same thing, and then I forget where I hide them.

Absolutely.

But these are lovely. They're from Chase's mother's estate.

Oh, they're beautiful.

Yeah. The bank is the best place.

But I never get a chance to wear them, so what's the point?

Many beautiful things have been hidden away for years.

Well, you can say that again.

Yeah.

So I am on my way to work.

Do you know I listen to you every chance I get?

You're a good reporter.

Well, thank you. Of course, you have to listen. You're my mother.

Have a good day, honey. Bye -bye, darling.

Oh, if that's for me, tell them I'm at the radio station because I'm real late.

Okay. Bye -bye. Bye -bye, dear.

Hello?

Angela, I've been worried about you. Did you get my card?

A tip?

Joel.

We're still married.

You need some indulgence.

The way I used to.

Remember?

God, it's been so long.

Post time is in just one minute.

I hope I did the right thing.

Whoever gave you that tip on Easy Ernie didn't know what they were talking

about. I saw that horse race down on the coast.

He's good for short distances only.

It's the long shot horse you bet on. You have a better chance of winning.

I hope so. I've got a lot riding on that horse.

Maxie, I borrowed something to get the money.

What you told me?

I bet you hocked your daughter's jewelry.

I did.

How could I steal from the only person I loved?

I did something like that once. My daughter kicked me out.

Hey, they're running.

It's placing the bet that makes you feel good.

I get this kind of ache in my inner.

Stand in line, I place the bet.

It goes away.

Did you ever try to give it up?

I stopped.

Lots of times.

I always went back to it.

I stopped for almost two years.

I helped other people give it up.

I thought I was cured. I was fine until I came here.

Just one race.

That did it.

I hucked and watched a few pieces of good jewelry.

I steal from my daughter to...

Mackie, why?

Easy Ernie just faded at the mile pole.

I find my daughter and then I... I lose my soul to a parimutuel window.

Mackie, why did we do it? Why?

We do it because you might win and you just did at ten to one.

I'll have almost enough to get the pearls back.

If only I'd waited. I should have put everything on that horse.

Another winner.

I can redeem the pearls today.

Meg, you'll never find out.

There's something else, Tara.

Don't call me that.

special, wasn't it?

That's the pizza I'll get.

Terry, don't forget your purse.

Thank you.

Pete the man, you ordered one divorce?

Let's get this over with. I've got some men waiting. What men?

They're in the drug business. Stay away.

Did you get it with anchovies?

No.

Just with a great deal of the state of Florida. A court order and a paid bill

from a lawyer, all dated 1974.

You may want to take a look at these copies.

Certified ones, you'll know.

What's this to you? Not a thing. I'm just doing a favor for my business

associate. And by the way, you have a couple of former...

Associates waiting for you at the airport.

They call themselves the Harker brothers.

Ring a bell?

I'm not going. Uh -uh. They'll kill me.

Loaded this time.

You're kidding me.

All right, Joel, don't be foolish. Let's talk this out. No.

No more time for talk.

All this time, you've been stringing me along.

You got big shot here faking the papers for you? You're sick, Joe.

You got a faith up to that.

Now give me the gun.

Don't make it worse on yourself, Joe. You'll never kick this thing on your

She's right, you know.

Now, I'm not going to tell you what to do with your life, but if you want help,

I know a good place.

There's a rehabilitation outfit up in the wilds of Canada.

Corporations, the military, the government, they all send their

problems up to Camp Mary Jane.

But it's not a kindergarten.

If you come back, you're cured, though.

But some don't make it.

What do you say?

I'll go anywhere but Florida.

You're not just a cokehead.

You're stupid.

And you're going to Florida tonight.

Bob.

Get him out of the car.

Jerry!

It could have been great for us.

Kenny, go to the camp.

From the moment I saw you, so helpless, so vulnerable, I knew I loved you.

You've been so kind to me.

Can you really help me get out of here?

I thought you went into the city to die.

Obviously I didn't.

I can explain.

No, I'm certain you can't.

Love has made fools of many strong men.

Just never thought it would happen to you.

She means nothing to me.

Then go kill her.

You see, it's not possible for you to continue here.

You will need me.

You have outlived your usefulness.

People here know you're connected with the cartel. Richard Channing, Pamela

Lynch.

American agents have been seen in the valley.

They now intend to maintain a low profile.

What about Julia?

I have plans for her sister, Emma.

Julia can help me get important information.

You really are lovesick. You're not even interested in your own fate.

I know the work of these two only too well. Don't jump to conclusions.

Cartel headquarters in Geneva has an assignment for you.

This gentleman will escort you there tonight on the company jet.

I will miss you, but then I've never been one to let sentiment interfere with

business.

Gentlemen.

Tired? Yes, I am. I'm tired.

Maxie and I had quite a day at the track.

Oh, did you win or lose?

Both.

Both?

We had a big winning and then we became overconfident.

There's something I've got to tell you.

Hello. Honey, hi.

Oh, don't go away, Charlotte.

How you doing?

I'll be here in the morning.

Okay.

Good night.

I'm so glad you're home.

What's this?

I'll explain.

A gun?

I'm not so sure I want to hear this.

Listen. Chase, this is absolutely ridiculous. What has been going on with

for the last couple of weeks?

Suddenly you order a security system that you don't even bother telling me

about. Two off -duty deputies are following me around, circling the house

15 minutes.

And Sheriff Robbins informs me that you've hired them, now you're carrying a

gun. I have a permit for it. Oh, great.

Did you carry it on the plane with you?

No, of course not. I locked it in the car at the airport.

I should have taken it with me. My life was threatened in Washington.

I don't understand. What is going on here? Now, we have a partnership, share

share alike. What happened to that? Sit down and listen.

Mother. Oh, Emma.

Thought you'd gone to bed long ago.

I did.

But I couldn't help thinking about the upstairs hall.

What's wrong with it? We just painted and papered up there.

Oh, no, Mother.

There's your door and mine.

And then there's Julia's old room.

And now the room that Lance lived in since he was a little boy.

Mother, it's empty now. It's so sad.

The most constant thing in life, Emma, is change.

I know, but our changes have been so chaotic.

Especially poor Julia.

As for Lance, I'm glad I found out his true nature before he inherited Falcon

Crest.

I know who I can trust now.

I'll never leave you.

I know.

I know, darling.

There's been no trace of Ben since Geneva.

It's mysterious. He just disappeared.

Maggie, I've had it.

I'm afraid that... Now you know it's going to be more dangerous than ever.

I think we ought to...

Give serious thought to selling out and moving.

Just like that?

Just leave? Give up? No fight? Nothing?

It's not worth it.

We could lose everything.

We could be hurt or worse.

Look, our kids, our family are in jeopardy. Chase, look, honey. I know

are doing this for me. But no, you can't. You just can't. It's not right.

Look, I can keep an eye on Richard at the radio station, and he's not going to

hurt me. I know that.

Darling, you are not fighting this alone now.

And please don't you ever try to do it all on your own again.

I know you're not strong.

But I'm strong, too.

Yeah, and a little bit crazy.

Yeah.

About you.

And me.

And us.

What would it take for you to let me go to that camp you were talking about?

Take the cure?

I mean it about kicking the drugs.

I've never wanted two more in my life.

Why should I do that for you, Joel?

It's a trade for information I have.

To make sure I don't bother Terry again.

See, I get the feeling you've got more than just a brotherly interest in him.

Drugs have affected your powers of observation. Let's hear your

Lance Compson isn't guilty of that attack on Angela Channing.

How do you know that?

Well, we have a deal.

If the Harker brothers get me to Florida, I'm dead.

All right, we have a deal.

Good.

I locked Lance in an old gas station. I stole his car and his jacket. I ran

Angela Channing off the road. You did?

Why, for God's sake?

Because he beat me up after I won a car race from him.

I wanted him to look bad.

Why didn't you run him off the road?

Melissa comes and paid me to do it.

She wanted him to look bad in the eyes of his grandmother.

She's been thrown over in her will in favor of Lance.

Good old Melissa.

See, if all this gets out before I get to Florida, the lands will go free.

Camp Mary Jane is a rather radical place.

You've got to want the cure very badly.

Hello, Hugo. Richard Janney.

I'm just fine. How are you?

Listen, I've got a customer for you. I want the full treatment. I'll pay the

bill.

Right.

We'll be there in ten minutes.

We're going to meet Hugo, usual place.

Joe, Camp Mary Jane is an extremely tough place, but it's

worth it.

Are you sure you won't chicken out?

Cocaine addiction is a lousy, vicious circle.

I'll take my chances at Camp Mary Jane.

But... But I don't want to see you back in this valley.

You hear me?

There's nothing left for me here.

Come on, Devin, think of something near the hotshot lawyer.

I was retained by this newspaper to handle publishing litigation.

I'm not a criminal lawyer.

We can't keep burying this story in the back pages, Lance. It looks bad. We're

the only news outlet in town that isn't featuring. I know, Ralph, but I have to

establish an alibi.

There's no way to prove that I was locked up. No print.

Nobody saw me.

I'll say you were with me.

Honey, I can't ask you to do that.

I still say you've got to figure out who framed you.

Now, let's go over this enemy list again. Okay.

Richard Channing. No, no. It's not Richard's style. Besides, if Richard

behind this, my grandmother never would have survived. Having worked for him,

Devin and I can't believe he'd do it.

He hates Lance, but not that much.

Chase Gioberti?

I know his reputation as a civic leader and outstanding citizen. No, no way.

Besides, it's too imaginative for Chase. Melissa Compson.

Leave that one open.

Still can't figure out who she'd find to do it, though.

What about Terry Ransom?

She was very angry when she saw Lance with me at the turf club.

Either of those two ladies could have hired someone to make Lance look bad to

his grandmother.

Both of them have enough money to pay for the job.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Terry's friend, Joel McCarthy.

He was a hell of a driver and I beat him up one day after he won a race for me.

Maybe.

It was Joel McCarthy.

Thank you.
