Christopher. Hello, Mr. Channing.

Uh, what are you doing here?

Sooner or later, somebody's going to get Richard Channing. I only hope I get

there first. Your life is in danger, and you won't even give the Tuscany Sheriff

the time of day.

Whoever planted that bomb is going to answer to me, and not some traffic cop.

Why is it that I get the impression that everyone is trying to protect me from

something? Well, Maggie, your marriage was in terrible trouble.

That's all there is to it, Mrs. Janney.

Are you sure you don't want to try?

Oh, no, thank you.

Fortunately, I have a plane to catch.

Oh, I wish I could get you to stay longer.

Mr. Reardon and I had some legal business in New York, and I couldn't

the chance to stop by.

I hope you know you work for an extremely generous woman.

Yes, charity amazes me.

Now, around here we call it St. Angela.

In fact, we've nicknamed this the Angela Channing Gym.

I'm sure you saw the Angela Channing Chapel, and now we even have an Angela

Channing Test.

Well, Father Matthew here used to work in the Tuscany Valley.

He's an excellent fundraiser.

Only because we had you as a good friend.

You can be pretty persuasive yourself.

I got cold feet the night before my ordination.

Mrs. Channing was here on retreat. She gave me a little pep talk.

Encouraged me to go through with it.

I owe her a lot.

Oh, look, I gotta get these kids to lunch. They stopped serving in half an

Would you join us?

No, I'm on a tight schedule.

All right.

Great seeing you. Stay in touch.

Nice to meet you. Okay, guys, lunch. Let's go.

Goodbye. Thank you, Father.

Too bad we couldn't stay for lunch.

I'd have enjoyed seeing the Angela Channing cafeteria.

Well, I suppose I did get carried away with my generosity, but I did it for

Julia gives birth to a son and you build him a church.

Well, he's the one good, pure thing in my life.

I'm investing in his future.

Does anyone else know about it?

Charlie and Father Matthew. And I want it left that way. I see. So Julia still

believes that the baby died in childbirth. Of course, Christopher has

the truth.

Well, he had made a vow to become a priest.

Now, I'm not going to do anything to compromise that vow.

Don't even tell him that he even had a Falcon dress.

Tell me.

Did Anna know that her husband was having an affair with your daughter?

Of course.

Dominic was going to divorce Anna.

And she blamed you for allowing it to happen.

Now, what's your point?

I was just wondering why Dominic set fire to his own home.

I mean...

Anna has convinced Cassandra that it was because you stole his lands. Now, if

it's more than that, if we can prove that Anna was lying, then perhaps we can

force Cassandra to drop her vendetta.

Well, do what you can, but I want you to keep Christopher's name out of it.

Well, I'm tired of getting these Dunning notices.

I'm also tired of getting phone calls.

Now, look, you know what I've been through. I'll get back on my feet as

the horses start running again.

You do that and we'll both regret it.

They want to foreclose on the racetrack.

It didn't end with the explosion.

Sooner or later, somebody's going to get Richard Channing. I only hope I get

there first.

This is a talk show, ma 'am. Do you have a question for Miss LaFortune? No,

thank you. I don't care to hear it. That is the third telephone death threat in

two days.

Each time a different voice.

Only three.

I guess I'm not as popular as I thought I was.

Your life is in danger and you won't even give the Tuscany Sheriff the time

day. Whoever planted that bomb is going to answer to me and not some traffic

cop.

Miss Roberts, it is your job to keep those process servers away from my door

it is my job...

To worry about, uh, whoever's trying to kill me.

Most of the equipment's in pretty sad shape.

Refrigeration unit's out.

Press is shot.

I don't know, but I ever said starting over was gonna be cheap.

I'll have to mortgage the house, my father's vineyards.

Good point.

It's still Connie's winery.

Can't do anything major until she shows up.

Well, we'll do what we can.

In the meantime, wait gives me a chance to spend some time with your mother.

It's not going very well, is it?

That's the understatement of the year.

What was Mom doing up at Richard's the night of the explosion?

I don't know.

What did Connie have to do with that?

The truth, Dad.

Oh, it was an impulsive thing, an embrace.

Your mother walked in on it.

Flipped. He got hysterical.

Said she was leaving me.

I asked you about Connie once before.

You told me you weren't involved with her.

Look, she may have had a crush on me, or whatever you want to call it.

But there's no way I was in love with her. That's probably why she left.

You don't end a marriage because of an embrace.

Maggie and I have been arguing for months.

About the risks I was taking at Falkencrest, about her job at the New

We were being pulled in so many different directions, something had to

Mom sees you in an embrace with Connie.

She runs right to Richard.

I thought Melissa and I were mixed up.

An embrace.

One moment in my life I'd like to take back.

Yeah.

I guess we've all had a few of those.

Come on, come on, come on. You know as well as I do the limit around here is

three doubles. Come on.

Okay, good.

Make this a triple.

It's on me.

Don't worry, Max. I'll take them home.

I'm sorry.

The price for the drink is right home, I think, I'll pass.

Not your home, mine.

I don't want to take up where Greg Riddle left off.

Don't you remember what day this is?

The anniversary of the plane crash.

I was sitting right next to Michael.

And he died.

We'd only been married a couple of months.

Look, I know what you're going through.

I know how tough those first few weeks can be.

I'm sorry, Wolverine.

Does that offer still stand?

I'm just putting some thoughts down, everything that I can remember that

to me. Maybe it'll help, maybe it won't. Well, you're a good writer.

You... Well, I do a lot of things, you know. Good wife, good mother, so they

tell me.

You know what's so strange? I mean, I know that I know how to type, like I

how to drive, but I have just no remembrance of learning.

Well, it's no consolation, but I don't remember learning to drive either.

Hi, Chase. Can I come in?

Hi,

Maggie. How's Trix?

Emma.

You know her name?

Well, yes.

That's it. That's all I know.

Well, my last name is Channing.

I live at Falcon Crest, although I try not to brag about it.

You and I used to dress up in spurs and spandex pants and hang out together at

cowboy bars.

Emma is exaggerating again.

Spurs, maybe, but never spandex. Don't believe a word he says.

He never even married you. The two of you have been living in sin together.

Oh, how nice to meet someone who doesn't treat me with cake gloves.

Not a prayer.

Listen, I know how confused you must be right now. I was confused myself, and

you and Tate helped me through it.

Maybe you'll let me return the favor.

Thank you.

I'd love to stay, but my mother tends to fret.

Call me. You know the number.

Oops.

Sorry.

Bye, Emma.

Bye. Bye -bye.

Oh, she's lovely.

She still is.

Now, what happened? What was it?

Going down the widow road.

The widow road?

I

didn't know

the widow road was not the woo -woo road.

No, no, no. What did the wolf do? What road?

What did the wolf do?

The widow road?

No, no, no. Eat that.

No, no, no. Don't.

Yes, it does. It's very important that he's right.

Come on.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to surprise you.

Greg got me out earlier than I expected.

Welcome home.

Oh, you're here.

Give Mommy a big hug, huh?

Give Mommy a big hug.

Let's let you know about that.

You know how people talk.

Why don't you go get your tricycle and we'll go for a ride, okay?

Come on.

I'm sorry I didn't come visit you.

Cole didn't think it would be a good idea.

He was right.

I still have to do community service at the Barclay halfway house for girls.

I agreed to get some counseling.

I'm sure we can get Father Bob to handle it.

Let me take your bag upstairs.

The

doctor

says we're doing fine, the baby and me.

I'm glad.

Carrying Cole's baby is the most exciting thing I've ever done.

You're going to have to find someplace else to live.

I don't want to share my house with you.

Well, you better talk to Cole about that.

He invited me to stay.

Your head hurts. It serves you right.

You were really out of it last night.

Terry, how did we get here?

You were planning on driving home.

I rescued you from your impetuous self.

You did?

I like your style.

I like yours.

Although I'm not quite sure I understand it.

You're not exactly behaving like a grieving widower.

How's a grieving widower supposed to act?

Hmm?

I miss her.

I miss her a lot, that's all I can tell you.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be crude.

It's okay.

If you're looking for your clothes, they're in the car.

Where's the car?

On the other side of the highway.

I suppose you want to keep the blanket.

Don't worry, I'm sure we can scrounge up a fig leaf somewhere around here.

Fig leaf?

A fig leaf.

You know something?

I'm not worried.

These hillside vineyards have a tough time of it, but they produce grapes of a

greater character.

Life -saving, those on the valley floor.

Tough going, but greater character. It's kind of like life.

It's hard.

Oh, yeah. It's early in the growing season yet.

But year in and year out, these vineyards produce some of the best fruit

world. Melissa owns all of this?

Yeah, she was left them by her father.

Yeah, the wine made from these grapes is like bottled gold.

Sounds like you'd sell your soul for them to find.

Not quite, but I wouldn't mind owning them.

That's very beautiful.

I wonder if I appreciated it before the accident.

You and the valley were best friends.

Chase, do you, Bernie?

Yeah, what can I do for you?

Your son told me I'd find you up here.

Booked it out of Falcon Crest and already got your eye on somebody else's

property.

Don't misunderstand me. I like a man of action.

D. Riley Wicker's the name.

You must be Maggie.

Yes, I do. You're Connie Giannini's attorney, aren't you?

And Sam, before that, you did business with your daddy some years ago.

I like Jason. I'm sorry we lost him. Me too.

Where is Connie? We're supposed to be in business together.

As far as Connie's concerned, you're in business all by yourself. At least for

the time being.

This is a contract giving you full and complete authority over the Giannini

Winery. It replaces the letter of agreement you two signed a couple of

ago. I have the option to buy her out? Whenever you're ready.

Until then, you spent the profits down the middle.

It's Connie Giannini, whoever she is. Why is she being so generous?

Don't ask me. I'm used to playing hardball.

Growing up, that contract wasn't one of my prouder moments.

If you have any questions, give me a call.

I will. I'll have my attorney take a look at it.

Pleasure, ma 'am.

You know what this means?

We're back in business.

What's the matter?

I don't know.

Why should the name Connie Giannini send chills up my spine?

What's going on?

Why don't you just open your eyes? You see all the surveyors?

I certainly didn't hire them.

Cassandra? Who else?

She's down at the guest house talking to Anna, and I'm on my way to have a

little chat with her. Would you like to join me? No, thank you. Not right now. I

have an appointment at the Hall of Records. I intend to spend the afternoon

sifting through R for Ross and me.

Let me know what you find out.

Certainly.

Pushed on this thing, I will not commit financial suicide.

I'm not asking you to. I am telling you that if you will sell that building in

San Francisco, you will have enough money to make Falcon Crest the grandest

resort in the world. I need a cushion, Mother. Resorts are notorious for going

belly up. So are my children.

All right, then just forget Angela.

Destroy us, because that is what you're talking about. The fucking nun.

Help me to bury her.

She has wriggled out trouble.

And I will not have her doing it again.

We are going to build this resort.

And we are going to put an end to Falcon Crest soon enough. But I cannot, I will

not make a move until I find an investor who is willing to absorb some of the

risk.

Talk, talk, talk.

That's why you're in advertising.

I have a meeting in the city.

Of course we will.

Endlessly.

Goodbye, Mother.

Drive carefully.

Run over Angela on your way out.

Joseph? Oh.

It's all right.

I'm here now.

Did you have another bad dream?

Want Mommy to hold you?

I want more than... Joseph, are you all right?

It's okay.

Do you want to spend the night in my room?

if I haven't act with kids.

It's going to take a while.

She's just used to a different routine.

I don't want her living here.

We're responsible for her.

That's our baby she's carrying. She's not going anywhere until that child is

born. I hope you don't mean that.

Because one of these days I'm going to strangle her.

I couldn't sleep either.

I thought I'd get myself a glass of milk.

Well, I'll go up to the room.

No, no, no. Stay. I'll just be a minute.

Thank you.

I was just reading these articles about the explosion.

Who was Richard Channing? What was I doing at his house?

He's my half -brother. More half than brother.

I suppose... He went up there to

offer your condolences after his step -daughter died.

Uh -huh.

Well, I'd like to meet him.

I don't think that's a good idea. You see, he's been in seclusion since he got

out of the hospital. I don't care whether it's a good idea or a bad idea.

was at his house, I want to know why.

Help me get in touch with him, please.

Richard was the intended victim.

He has a lot of enemies, and I'm one of them.

I don't want anything to do with him.

How could we have been sweeter through all this?

He came to the jail every day to take care of Joseph almost single -handedly.

What about your cousin, Robin?

You do have a cousin staying with you, don't you?

She was a big help. She still is.

She's also pregnant. I've seen her at mass.

She made a mistake, but we're trying to help her through it.

Would you have told me about Robin if I hadn't asked you?

It's a family problem. I don't...

Melissa, I've had a hard time getting you to be direct with me today.

I don't think that counseling is what I need right now.

Well, your parole board disagrees.

Look, maybe you'd feel more comfortable if you spoke with somebody who's not

quite as familiar with you and your family as I am.

I think what I'll do is ask one of the other priests to take over your

I'm sorry if I let you down.

I have great love for you, Melissa.

But you've made more mistakes in your short life than most of the parish put

together.

I expect you to shape up.

I will.

I promise.

I don't want them to revoke my parole.

You'll be in hot water with a far greater authority than the law if you

get your act together.

And soon.

Excuse me, Mr. Channing.

Miss Roberts is here to see you.

Get her a cup of coffee, Al. No, thanks.

Richard, I have something I need to talk to you about, alone.

I got a call from London this morning.

Hawkins, that private investigator you sent over. Did he find her?

Yes, he did.

I think you can eliminate her as a suspect, Richard.

She couldn't possibly have had anything to do with that explosion.

Pamela Lynch is one of the most resourceful women I've ever known.

Hawkins has something pretty damn concrete, she's still at the top of the

She's dead, Richard.

She was killed in an automobile accident three days before the bomb went off in

your house.

Oh, what a nice surprise.

You're up and about, and it isn't even sunset.

Good afternoon to you, too.

Mother, Lance has had a very difficult time since Lorraine... Died, Emma.

Lorraine died.

Don't make it any harder for him.

Thanks. It's okay. I can handle Grandmother.

I've always had her wrapped around my little finger.

If Falconcrest is to be strong again, then we have to put up a dignified

particularly the heir apparent.

No, to tell you the truth, I'm really not that interested in my inheritance

anymore.

I understand that Falcon Crest is going to turn into a golf course. Should I

start taking lessons?

How dare you say something like that to Mother? You know how much Falcon Crest

means to her. I wish you'd make up your mind which side you're on. Look, I just

want Cass to put in a great nightclub.

God knows this town needs one.

Lance, I want you to come back to the New Globe.

Delaney's running it all by himself.

Besides, what better way to straighten me out, right?

A little responsibility never hurt anyone.

I wish I had some, Mother. Look, first you make me the publisher.

Then you put Maggie in there. Now you want me back in there.

I'm sorry, Grandma. I'm just tired of playing musical chairs.

Well, so am I.

So I will make the position permanent.

No, thanks. I like my life just the way it is.

The car is ready, Mr. Channing. Oh, thank you, Charlie.

We'll talk about this later.

I hope not.

We need to talk.

I've spoken to a friend of mine in New York, an investment banker. Apparently,

Cassandra's looking for a partner.

Someone willing to finance the resort. Oh, I'm aware of that.

Terrific. I'm sure that I rushed over even picking up a speeding ticket. Have

you heard anything more about Anna Rossini?

Yeah. She's been hospitalized several times in the past few years. I'm trying

find out why.

Where are you going?

I'm going into the city.

Cassandra needs an investor. I know just the person.

Yes?

And who's that?

A very dear friend, Peter Stavros.

Now, what did you say your name was again?

Channing. Angela Channing.

I would have called Mr. Stavros, but you know, I never know where he is from day

to day.

And what is this regarding, Mrs. Channing?

Well, this is personal.

We're very good friends.

And I have to get an urgent message through to him.

Mr. Stavros has many close friends.

And he doesn't receive urgent messages.

He sends them.

He receives them from me.

Now, I do millions of dollars worth of business with this company each year. I

happen to own Falcon Crest.

Oh.

Last year's Cabernet was a great disappointment.

Now, I would be delighted to help you make shipping arrangements.

But Mr. Stavros values his privacy.

He left explicit instructions with us.

Well, I'll just have to find him myself, won't I?

Good luck.

And when I do, I will say, um... Claude is bad for business and bad

for friendships.

You know, I've known Peter Stavros longer than you've known how to brush

teeth. Now, by the time I'm through, if you're lucky... You'll be a figurehead

on the Athenian Queen.

Mrs. Channing.

Mr. Stavros is on his yacht.

Somewhere between San Francisco and Honolulu.

I suppose I can radio him.

You tell him that I need him and I want him here as soon as possible.

Claude.

We settled this already.

If we turn Robin out now, we don't know what will happen to that baby.

Whenever she's around, all we do is... That's our problem.

Not hers.

Get off it, Cole.

She's a user.

She plays us off against each other every time she's pissed.

You don't know how lonely I've been ever since I came back.

I mean, I feel like a stranger in my own house.

Even Joseph's turned away from me.

Every time I say no to something, he gets what he wants from Robin. I'll talk

her. I am tired of talking.

I wanted to pack her bags and get out of here. The answer is no.

Where are you going?

Out.

I don't know how I got talked into this marriage in the first place.

That makes two of us.

Melissa has already agreed to sell her harvest to Falcon Crest, and I'm not

about to give it up. I didn't think you would. That's why I asked to speak to

your new partner as well. Well, Cassandra doesn't want to lose the best

in the valley any more than I do. Why not? According to her, Falcon Crest

going to be a winery long enough to get any use out of it.

Selling that crop to me is money in the bank, not money down the drain.

I think Mr. Giverny's offer is worth considering.

Well, I won't sit still for it.

Sorry, Angela.

It's too good to resist.

We have a deal, Chase.

There's another matter I'd like to discuss.

You have a teller full of my sparkling wine.

Oh, he can have that.

The harvest is one thing, but your champagne is a finished product and

quite nicely.

As you say, it's money in the bank.

You've had one victory this evening.

Be content with that.

Sorry, Chase.

Good night.

That little victory is really going to cost you. My dear...

I'm not concerned. You should be.

You really should be.

I figured you weren't coming home.

I thought you'd be in bed by now.

Did Rob never get back?

Single room.

I took a drive.

Before I realized what was happening, I was halfway to Carmel.

I don't want to lose you, Cole.

We just have to make it work.

If you want Robin to stay, I won't fight you.

I'm glad to hear it.

Mom and Dad have done their best.

I think it's wonderful that you're taking care of me in my hour of need.

Robin, we've had our differences in the past, but I'd like to help you in the

next few months, any way I can.

You don't know how much that means to me.

We have to get a few things straight around here first.

Melissa is Joseph's mother.

What she says goes.

You're a guest in this house.

Hello, Maggie.

Hello.

Do I know you?

Oh, yes, I'm Angela.

Angela Channing.

Angela Channing. Well, I certainly know about you. Hello.

Well, I've wanted to come by and see you for some time, but I've been so busy.

Well, please, it's quite all right. Come, sit down. Can I offer you a cup of

coffee? No, no, no, thank you. Oh, I see you still have the urge to write.

Yes, I am writing my story, would you believe?

Short one, of course.

Well, good. be a welcome addition maggie i'm so sorry about what happened to you

now if there's anything i can do will you please tell me thank you i'm going

be fine it was an awful night the sirens and the vigil at the hospital and were

you there until dawn you know chase and i've had our differences but i've always

been very fond of you and i'm delighted that the two of you are working things

out well you know day by day

Has Richard been in touch with you?

No, no, not yet.

You seem surprised.

Well, I always thought that you and Richard were so close.

But, well, that's neither here nor there.

Well, yes, it is. I mean, I need to know everything that happened to me before

that explosion.

Well, I think you should discuss it with Chase.

Well, I've tried.

He just seemed to avoid the issue.

Well, I have to get back to Falcon Crest. Why is it that I get the

that everyone is trying to protect me from something?

Well, Maggie, your marriage was in terrible trouble.

I mean, rumor had it that you and Richard were having an affair.

Now, I want you to come to Falcon Crest just any old time, because I would love

to see you.

Goodbye, Maggie.

You're damn right you couldn't.

Connie was just a little bit too generous with my taste.

I'll see to it you get a fully executed copy of this for your files.

I like the way you operate, Mr. Wicker. You know, I've made some mistakes in the

past. I'm in the market for a good attorney.

I'm expensive.

Yeah, but I understand you're well worth it.

Anything particular bothering you right now?

Yeah, as a matter of fact, there is.

Cassandra Wilder is sitting on several million dollars' worth of my champagne,

and she won't let go of it.

Cash Wilder is one dangerous woman.

Prying it loose from her won't be easy.

I'll do whatever it takes.

I followed your career since you came to this valley.

You're a lot like your daddy.

Everything by the book.

You sound like you don't approve.

It's no way to do business in a cutthroat town like this.

You've got to be willing to stretch and bend once in a while without hurting the

little guy.

What are you proposing?

Get yourself some trucks and some men and go up there and take the champagne.

Let her hold you into court.

I'll keep her tied up till hell freezes over.

If I don't end up in jail first.

If that's your attitude, it just wouldn't be any fun representing her.

Good luck, Chase.

We're going to the Transamerica building. Keep us in sight all the way.

Now Parkview Bank is our biggest worry.

They're jittery enough to throw Tuscany Downs into receivership.

If that happens, the whole house of cards collapses. I'll lose the radio

station.

They're going to argue that Tuscany Downs isn't generating any income.

It will, as soon as the racing season opens again.

It's more than a month away.

You're going to have to do some pretty fast talking to get any more delays out.

Watch and learn.

Never a dull moment when you're working for me.

Doesn't this boat go any faster?

Pick it up, Val.

Come on.

Friends of yours.

Hang on, folks.

Never a dull moment.

Yeah, well.

When are you going to let the sheriff in on this?

Not going to. We'll handle it ourselves.

Father Bob is here to see you, Miss Charney. Oh, well, send him in.

Is there something wrong?

No, Miss Charney.

Please come in.

Hello, Father.

Christopher. Hello, Mrs. Channing.

What are you doing here? I needed a new cure.

Father Christopher contacted the Order, the Order contacted me, and I was so

happy to find out he knew you already.

Well, what a surprise. I wanted it to be.

Chris, this is Mrs.

Channing's attorney.

Yeah, we've met. Hi.

Did you know... How about this when we were up in Marysville?

Angela was an answer to all my prayers. I needed somebody badly.

Mrs. Channing, you have done so much for me, for all of Marysville.

This is my way of repaying you.

Well, we have to leave quickly, Angela, because I want Chris to meet as many

parishioners tonight as possible.

I'll see you at Mass.

We both will.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh, what am I going to do?

One question I can't answer for you.

But I'm surprised you didn't tell Father Bob. How could I tell Father Bob he

wasn't even here at the time?

Maggie? Mom?

You might have to write it off, do you?

I've got time for a glass of wine.

I'll get it.

Next on Falcon Crest.

You mean a great deal to me, Maggie.

Were we having... Having an affair?

If there's anyone that can get rid of my new partners, it is Peter Stamper. What

makes you so certain he's going to help you?

Because he's always been a very special man in my life.

Why was it so important I come?

Peter, I'm about to lose Falcon Crest.

Sometime between now and the press conference, somebody is going to try and

me.

Amen.
