Original subtitles

Next time we come up, could you give me a ring first? Let me know you're coming.

You mean I have to make an appointment to see my own wife?

Please don't send me away.

It's too bad.

But you overplayed your habit.

Now, if someone does try to kill you, how do you know your security people are

going to be able to stop them in time? I don't. But I am tired of playing a cat

and mouse game. I've got to find a way to draw this madman out into the open.

Lance, slow down.

Lance, slow down.

Please.

Take it easy, Terry. You know, we're not going that fast.

What's the matter? What are you, crazy?

You almost killed us back there. Now, I don't know what kind of death trip

you're into, but I don't want to have anything to do with it. Now, what's the

matter with you? Is it me?

Come on, Terry, let's go. No, not until you promise to drive like a sane person.

Promise?

Promise.

Hold on tight.

Well...

I

heard you drive up.

Are you trying to sneak in?

Of course not. Then where were you last night?

I was trying to forget about you and Robin in the den holding each other. I

you'd stuck around long enough for an explanation.

Robin felt the baby move. She was frightened.

I was trying to make her feel better.

It certainly looked like you succeeded.

Nothing was going on.

Why won't you believe me?

You know where I was last night?

I was at church with Father Chris.

I was trying to decide whether this marriage was worth saving.

Oh, great.

Great.

So now a stranger knows all our problems, huh?

All I told him was that you and I were going through a rough time. I was too

ashamed to talk about Robin.

He convinced me to come here and try to work things out.

We're never going to have any peace as long as it's in this house.

I know that.

Living like this isn't doing any of us any good.

As soon as I can get an apartment lined up, we'll move her out.

You mean it?

The last thing I want is for this baby to break up our marriage.

Good morning.

I must have been... I must have been... Can't talk over that.

I must have been asleep when you came in last night.

How was the dinner party at the Channing's?

Interesting to say the least.

Seems that I have a grandmother, a mother, and a brother.

Why didn't you tell me?

Angela told me in confidence. I thought it best that she tell you herself.

All these years, I thought I was an orphan.

And now I find out I had a family, one that didn't even want me. It's not as

simple as that, Chris, and you know it. Angela kept my family from me. That's

what I know.

Now, look, it was a mistake to come here. I think I should transfer to

parish. Running away isn't going to solve anything, Chris.

Look, one of the reasons I became a priest was to try and help people.

How can I help anybody now when I'm this confused?

You have a lot to work out.

But do it here. Do it with your family.

After that, if you still want to transfer, fine.

But at least you know you'll not be running away from yourself.

Go take a shower.

Sports talk. What's your beef?

I'm looking forward to going to Mr. Channing's press conference.

I've missed him.

I won't again.

All right. Now, that was taken off the air this morning. That's right.

Somebody's getting nervous. My would -be assassin.

Now, he's trying to warn me off from disclosing his identity.

Oh, well, that would be a little difficult since you don't know his

A mere technicality, Mr. Roberts. Now, are all of our suspects, are they going

to be joining us at this press conference?

Oh, I've gotten RSVPs from just about everyone on your grudge list.

Let's see. Angela Channing, Chase Gioberti, Lance Compson, Terry Ransom,

Gioberti, Judge Holder. Lots more.

It's a very long list, actually. Well, yeah, it's nice to be popular.

Now, I assume, foolishly probably, that our security people have been watching

all of these fine citizens.

Oh, yes.

So far, no one's made a move.

I have to admit, making yourself a target makes me very nervous, Mr.

Richard's fine.

Glass of milk?

No, thank you. Now, if someone does try to kill you, how do you know your

security people are going to be able to stop them in time?

I don't. But I've got to make a target out of myself to get him out into the

open.

And if he doesn't take the bait, what then?

Don't be so pessimistic.

We've still got 24 hours before the press conference. We may still get

Somebody may try to kill me yet.

Hi. Do you like him?

Beautiful. It's a Peruvian paso. I just bought him a few days ago.

We always talked about having a horse.

Want to go for a ride?

No, not today.

What are you doing?

Uh, I'll... I just, um... Jake, could I ask you a favor?

Next time you come up, could you give me a ring first? Let me know you're

coming.

You mean I have to make an appointment to see my own wife?

Well, you know, I came up here because I wanted some privacy. I needed to put my

life in some kind of order, and it's difficult to do that if people just drop

in. People?

You can't just get into this thing, Maggie. You've got to give me a chance.

Chase, I am doing the best I can.

You can't push me on this. Maybe if we could just...

If we could just start over again as friends.

Just as friends and see what happens.

You want me to start dating you? I'm not sure I know how to do that. I've been

married too long.

Look, I can't ask you to forget our marriage, but you have to understand

don't remember it. It doesn't mean the same thing to me as it does to you.

I won't put myself through this anymore.

So I closed the deal that afternoon and had the entire shipping fleet in my back

pocket. The king was angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Are you bored by all my stories?

Oh, of course not.

I just have a lot of things on my mind.

Like your grandsons?

If they are anything like you, they're very stubborn, but very wise, too.

They'll be all right. You wait and see.

Now, there's the smile I love.

The smile that won my heart.

How many years ago?

Lost count.

I can still remember our first meeting at the Prado in Madrid.

I ran into you and your father in the neoclassics, I believe.

What tricks the mind plays.

My father and I almost fell over you and your drunken buddies on the outside of

the Prado.

No matter.

What's important is that we met.

I should never have let you go after that summer.

I'll tell you a little secret.

There are times when I have regretted leaving.

Oh, Angela.

The things we could have achieved together.

The wars we could have won.

The children we could have had.

Oh, what a... Horrible idea.

With your traits in mind, it'd be impossible.

You mean unstoppable.

I've had three wives and more lovers than I can count. But I've always had a

place in my heart for you.

Thank you.

What's this?

A proposal of marriage.

We've always been a bit in love, Angela.

These years ahead should be the richest of our lives.

And I would like to share them with someone who is still as beautiful and

vibrant as you were when you were 16.

Well, I'll always remember you then, too, Peter.

And I'm flattered.

But I can't think of anything else right now but Falcon Crest.

I asked you to come here to help me get it back.

And I will help you. I promise.

Someday, Angela, you will accept this ring. I promise you that, too.

Oh, it's great to see you. Thank you. Come on in.

You're not busy, are you? No, no, no, no.

Sit down.

Okay. Can I get you anything? Coffee? No. No, I don't think so. Thanks.

I didn't realize the time.

I'm a mother. You don't need a reason to come over here.

Good. I'm glad you feel that way. I was beginning to think I was alienating the

entire family.

I don't think you burned all your bridges.

I'm so sure your father would agree with that.

Look what I found today.

That night, it looked like we were having a great time.

This was the year of our first harvest.

Angela hired away a lot of the workers, and we had to do most of the work

ourselves.

Hi,

Maggie. Hi, Maggie.

Don't call your grandmother by her first name.

Joseph. Hi.

You don't have a grandma.

But she is your grandma.

No, she isn't.

Joseph, Chase and I gave you this last year. We gave him that

dragon last year for his birthday. We had his birthday in the park by the

swings. I don't remember that, but I do remember this. Oh, God, I remember this.

Yes, I am. Well, no, I don't. Oh, I don't know whether I'm okay or not.

How about a big hug, though?

Hello, Chris.

Hello. Come on in.

Won't you sit down?

The last two days have been about the worst days of my life.

And I'm terribly sorry. I have been so incredibly angry at you. Well, I know

you're feeling.

You should have told me the truth a lot earlier, Angela.

But Julia was in no condition to raise a child with you. I know you had your

reasons for not telling me the truth. But that does not make up for all that

lost time.

Will you sit down?

After the other night, I wanted to run as far away from this valley as I could.

I know we have a lot to work out.

And I know it's not going to be easy. Easy.

But I'd never get to know my family if I left the valley now.

Oh, I'm so happy to hear that.

Father Bob told me about some of the problems my mother has had.

But whatever happened to my father?

Your father died in a tragic fire before you were born.

I see.

All right, where is my mother? When can I see her?

I don't think that Julia could handle the news right now.

I think we should tell her later.

Lance?

Lance?

Where have you been for the last two days?

Out.

Lance!

Now, at least you could be responsible enough to call us and tell us that

still alive.

Oh, you're going to talk to me about responsibility?

Seems to me you've forgotten to tell us a few things throughout the years,

Grandmother.

I think you're right, Chris.

It isn't going to be easy.

Peter Stavros called again today.

Oh?

He's still determined to buy Falcon Craft.

That man is persistent.

I know why he has such a reputation as a womanizer.

I wonder why Peter Davros wants this particular winery so badly.

He's a businessman. He knows a good investment. You see this?

Perhaps.

What is going on here?

What would I want with Chase's champagne equipment?

I don't even make champagne.

Nevertheless, it is gone, every bit of it.

It was our equipment.

Or did you give it away, Angela?

Just to irritate us.

I'm telling you, the last time I didn't take it.

But if it has irritated you, Anna, I couldn't be happier.

Let's go, Mother. I think I know whom we should talk to next.

There it is.

You certainly brightened that day.

Well, I'm tired of being insulted by those witches.

Now, I want them out of Falconcrest.

Nothing would give me greater pleasure. And believe me, Angela, I'm doing

everything I can to make that happen.

How we doing?

Well, everything's made it in one piece and no sign of the law. This reminds me

of the days when we first moved to the valley.

That was back when you could still take that.

It's good to see you're getting back to your old self again. You may not say

that after we've shared a couple of days at the Tuscany County Jail.

Oh, no.

Maybe I'd post it soon.

Yeah, I think you did.

I see larceny runs in the family, Chase.

Well, the larceny began when you stole Falcon Crest from me. I just thought I'd

get a little piece of it back.

This is our equipment, Sheriff. I want these two men arrested.

Just calm down, Mrs. Rossini.

Would you like to tell me what this is all about, Chase?

Morning, everybody.

Lovely day, isn't it?

What are you doing here? Nice to see you again, too, Anna.

You still in the market for an attorney, Chase?

More than ever.

I heard about all the excitement, and I figured you might be.

I guess you're my kind of client after all.

Well, you can follow us down to the sheriff's station. I'm about to place

clients under arrest for theft.

I take it you're ready to do pressing charges.

Unless Chase returns what he took from us.

I'd rather be arrested. It'd be good publicity for my new operation.

I'll have a press conference as soon as Riley bails us out.

Of course, you'd have to tell the media the whole story right from the

beginning, wouldn't you?

Yes, yes.

Is this a threat?

Facts, ma 'am, pure and simple. You couldn't care less about building a

You just want to ruin Angela Channing, and you want somebody else to foot the

bill. That's going to sit real well with all those investors out there. The ones

you ladies are trying to bring into your project?

Well, you better handcuff me, Sheriff, and read me my rights.

Just a minute, Sheriff.

Perhaps there's another solution. Don't you go soft on me now.

Chase is every bit as greedy as Angela.

He's just not getting off the hook this easily.

It's not worth the risk, Mother.

Nonsense. He's bluffing.

That's your opinion. I am not going to take that chance.

What's it going to be, Miss Wilder?

Take us home, Sheriff.

Thank you for coming over.

I hope this means we'll be working together.

You bet.

Guess we've got enough champagne here for a celebration.

Care to join us? I was wondering when you'd get around to that.

I was just on my way over to the church for a counseling session.

Yeah, sorry. I tried calling you earlier.

I had to cancel our appointment for today.

Oh?

How are things going at home?

Everything's working out, thanks to your advice.

I just landed near you. You did all the work.

That's not entirely true.

You were a good friend to me the other night, and I really appreciate it.

That's nice to hear.

Sometimes you wonder if you ever really do anybody any good.

You don't have to. worry about that.

You help me a lot.

Just thank you for everything.

Oh, listen, I don't want to get cramps in my legs. I better get going.

Sure.

I'll see you Friday.

or none at all.

Every article I've found quotes the sheriff's report chapter and verse.

Dominic started the fire, the motive was to do it.

I'm about ready to call it quits.

What have you got there?

The end result of an old newsman's hunch.

There are files of working notes and drafts downstairs from the last 25 years

so. And these are the files for the routine of fires.

Anything interesting?

Looks like the reporter on the...

Story neglected to include all the facts. It seems that the sheriff was

Rossini's first cousin.

Damn it, I should have made the connection.

Be fair to yourself, Angela.

You didn't know that Anna and the sheriff were related.

Are you sure he tampered with the report?

No. But then, Anna doesn't have to know that.

All right.

What else do we need?

The proof of the motive.

Christopher. Oh, no. I told you I don't want him involved in this, and that is

final. I can't promise results unless I know I have a trump card in my pocket,

and that, too, is final.

All these years, I thought I was protecting him.

Seems I've only made things harder.

Should I talk to him?

No.

After what he's been through, what's one more skeleton coming out of the closet?

What are

you

doing here?

I remembered something.

I was at... cold last night and joseph came in with his stuffed animal a dragon

and i remembered that i had given it to him last year for his birthday we had

written um did anything

else come back no that was all i remembered but i remembered that

i've been thinking about the other day

Starting over.

I just know I don't want to give up on us.

Listen, there's a fair in town, like a county fair. Would you like to go?

Do I like fairs? We never had time for them.

Well, then, sure. Let's try a fair.

Emma, darling, you're blocking the sun.

Good. I have a bone to pick with you. Oh, not now. I'm in the middle of a

tan.

I've noticed how you've avoided Chris.

I'm not avoiding him. I just don't want to socialize with him, okay?

I know how you feel.

I feel as upset as you do about the fact that mother lied to us all these years.

Okay, so we're in agreement. Now what's the beef?

I don't like you taking your anger out on Chris. He is as much of a victim as

you are.

Why don't you give him a chance?

What makes you think I won't?

Because you're just like Mother that way. You're both so hard on people. He

needs us.

He's a priest. He can take care of himself.

Life has dealt you some pretty bad cards lately, but it's also given you

something wonderful.

A brother.

If you don't make the most of it, I will have no sympathy for you at all.

Richard, the killer could try to stop you at any time.

Everything ready?

Don't mind telling you, I'm a little worried about this.

There are just so many things that could go wrong.

I'm touched, Counselor. But we are going to be late for the press conference.

This wasn't supposed to hurt.

Bullet. Stop the bullet. It's not a suit of armor, Mr. Channing. Are

you all right?

No, help me up.

Did we get him?

Sorry, Mr. Channing. What, are you telling me that we went all through this

nothing? All right.

Get me to the hospital before this madman gets past my crack security team

shoots me again.

Here she comes.

As attorney for the victim, I have a press statement I'd like to read.

Richard Channing suffered a gunshot wound several hours ago by an unknown

assailant. He is presently in guarded but stable condition.

Channing claims to know the name of this unknown assailant. Care to share it

with us?

Unfortunately, Mr. Channing has kept that name to himself.

When he recovers, I'm sure that he'll turn the name over to the authorities.

Thank you very much. That's all. Just one more.

What you're asking me to do is unethical.

I can't give out false information on your condition.

I'm not asking you to give out false information.

You don't have to say anything. Let my people handle it.

But all you have is a bruise. You could go home today.

Why do you want to stay here?

Let's just say I have a yen. I also have a check in my pocket, which I would

like to contribute to this hospital, providing my needs are taken care of.

Three days, Mr. Channing.

After that, I want this room for patients who need it.

You're a light player, Doc.

Oh, they bought the story, hook, line, and sinker.

Now what?

I want you to issue another press release in an hour.

I'll let the assassin know I'm recovering.

I just hope he shows up.

Unless I miss my guess, he will.

Oh, I just love these little games.

Do you really want to play sitting duck again so soon?

I do not pay you to make wisecracks, all right?

Now, for the last time, I don't enjoy living my life like this.

I'm just going to wait right here.

Because somebody's going to pay for all this.

Robin?

Robin?

Robin!

Hey,

listen, it's great. No.

Want a chip?

No, sit down.

We have something important to discuss.

Found the dent in the car.

I'm sorry. I'm going to pay for it. No, it's not the car.

Melissa and I have decided you should get an apartment of your own.

But... I don't want my own place. I like it here.

You can visit as much as you like.

Or as little.

Why are you doing this?

I mean, what did I do wrong?

Nothing.

It's just that we think we'd all be a lot...

I know I don't always say and do the right thing, but I'll try and be better.

Please don't send me away.

It's too late.

We already rented an apartment for you.

Get packed.

I'll drive you first thing in the morning.

I knew this would happen.

Just because I don't act exactly the way you want me to, you kick me out.

Too bad.

Bet you overplayed your hand.

Please don't send me away.

I don't want to have this baby alone.

You should have thought about that before you tried to steal my husband.

Once the baby's born, you'll be out of our lives.

In the meantime, you're just...

I got a message you wanted to see me. Yes, come in. Sit down.

I'll call you back.

Chris, when we were talking about your father the other day, there were certain

things that I didn't tell you.

Go on.

Black, yes?

Indeed.

That was, without a doubt, the best meal I ever had. Oh, come on. You're just

trying to win points.

Am I winning any?

Of course.

I am.

What?

What is it?

July 30th, 1967.

Darling, the hour is late, and I'm alone with thoughts of you.

I pray for this awful war to be over.

I miss you.

But even though we are far away from each other, right now, I am not lonely.

67, I must have written that from now.

I feel you with me in my thoughts, in my heart, where you have been with me

since the day we met.

I saved all my letters. I had some of them in the attic. Oh, I did. I carried

those letters with me throughout my tour of duty.

I may not have figured out who I am, but I think I found

you right where you always were, right here in my heart.

Better go.

That's ridiculous.

Yeah, but nonetheless true.

Dominic never had an affair with anyone. He was devoted to me. And one other. My

daughter, Julia. The very pregnant Julia.

Who insisted on carrying Dominic's child.

They even made arrangements to run away together.

Well, that's quite a bedtime story and pure hypothesis.

And having your priest here doesn't add credibility to it one bit.

Mrs.

Rossini, I'm the son of Julia and Dominic.

Cassandra, I'm your half -brother.

It's well known that Julia was very generous with her favors.

Your father could have been any one of several men in the valley.

I have no reason to lie.

Perhaps not.

But Angela's not averse to it, nor is this high -priced flunky of hers.

I think this is all a hoax to drive a wedge between my mother and me, and it

not going to work.

No, no, no, this is no hoax. We have a birth certificate, testimony, and even

blood test to prove it. Why don't you give up, Anna?

You know Dominic told you that Julia was carrying his child.

And you set the fire that killed him.

That's a lie.

I'll have you in court for slander.

They're not half as fat as I'll have you there for murder. We have evidence,

Mrs. Rossini.

What? You're bluffing.

The sheriff's report made it quite clear that Dominic set the fire.

Yeah, but the sheriff was your cousin.

I doubt if it took many dollars to protect the family name.

You can't prove that.

We can and we will.

I've heard enough fantasies for one evening.

Come, Cassandra.

I said let's go.

After all of that, we failed.

Don't be too sure of that, Angela.

Anna is petrified.

Ah!

I had some dreams, Angela.

Next on Falcon Crest.

What would you say?

Faster to marry me again.

Is that a proposal?

I have a proposition.

I've heard enough propositions for today, thank you.

Hello.

Son.

Get away from me. Let me help you, Robin. Robin, let me help you.
