Now, I hope you had a good look at him because that's the last time you're

to see him.

I'm doing all the program format changes so that your music is going to be

heard. I mean, before you know it, these radio stations will be calling up,

picking up on your songs.

Sounds like I'm going to be a star.

What's this all about?

Well, I guess Lance neglected to tell you about the little swap we've made.

I want them out of here.

Charlie has packed your things and they're in the car.

You're kicking me out?

Exactly.

What is this, Lance?

I've heard of eat and run, but you apparently intend to run and eat.

Well, I'm kind of in a hurry this morning.

Lance, I want to talk to you. Good morning, Grandmother. Good morning,

Don't you good morning me, Lance Compson.

Emma's bed hasn't been slept in all night.

Now, what did you do with her?

Don't blame me.

I'm not Emma's keeper.

Well, you took her out to a honky -tonk last night. Where is she?

I don't know. Last time I saw her, she was dancing with some cowboy.

A cowboy?

And you don't even know his name.

Oh, Angela.

After all, Emma is a grown woman.

Peter, she is so gullible.

And it's all your fault. And that Babylonia person.

Grandmother, her name is Apollonia.

I like it better the other way.

Now, if you'd been doing your job at the newspaper instead of dragging your aunt

to those dives... Well, I'm going to call the sheriff and report her missing.

Probably abducted.

Atta girl.

Did you hear Dwayne's air horn?

He let me operate it. Where have you been all night?

Mother, this is Dwayne Cooley.

Dwayne, Angela Channing. It's a real pleasure to meet Emma's mother, Mrs.

Channing.

And this is Lance, my nephew, and my future stepfather, Peter Stavros, and

major, Domo Tali.

Hiya, Lance.

Pete? How do you do, Major?

Oh, and let's not leave out Ursula.

That's what Dwayne calls his truck.

Isn't she magnificent?

She even has a place to sleep right behind the seat.

Oh, Emma.

In a truck?

Oh, Mother, don't be old -fashioned.

It's really all right.

Dwayne and I are real good buddies.

That's a fact, Mrs. Channing. One look at your daughter, and it was like

a downhill grade with no brakes.

You, Emma, you go inside. We'll talk about this later.

You go on ahead.

I gotta be rolling.

Bye for now, you sweet thing.

Bye, Duane.

Thanks for the ride. You betcha.

Oh, it was real nice meeting all you folks.

Emma, love, you'll be hearing from me real soon.

I'm so deliciously tired, I think I'll sleep all day.

On account that she didn't sleep all night.

I am ashamed of you.

A one -night stand, acting like a little tramp. Oh.

Now, I hope you had a good look at him, because that's the last time you're

going to see him.

It's so difficult to believe that someone could love me.

Not for me, it isn't, Emma.

He's too young for you.

Eat your heart out, Mother.

Come on, dear.

Looks like you lost round one.

Charlie, see that no calls from that truck driver get through to Emma.

Well,

so soon. Doesn't it usually take longer to set up a water district?

I'm kidding. I've been working on this problem for years. And here they come

along and railroad this one through in order to...

Keep us from taking even one harvest.

Well, you might say time is of the essence.

I believe it.

Hi. Hi.

I'm not interrupting anything, am I? No.

Your father and I were just discussing our options on this water district

business.

Are there options?

Well,

we're looking. If we don't come up with something soon, we're going to be out of

the wine business altogether.

Well, as much as I hate to leave this beautiful conversation, we've got to go

and get dressed. See you later.

You ready for work?

What's this I hear about you going to Lamar's classes with Melissa's cousin?

Robin wanted to have a natural childbirth.

She asked me to be her partner.

How good of you.

Isn't that getting in a little deep with her? Can't Melissa take care of that?

Hey, look.

It's my house. Let me worry about running it, okay?

All right, let's go to work. We've got work to go to.

What do you mean my grandson isn't here? He left my house three hours ago. Well,

if you'd just take a seat, please. I know we'll be able to locate him.

Well, how nice of you to stop by and wish me luck on my first day back.

Hello, Cindy.

Mrs. Channing, Mr. Reardon.

His first day back?

That's what the man said.

Less than ten seconds, you owe me a lunch.

Remind me not to bet with you again.

What's he doing here?

What's this all about?

I get Lance neglected to tell you about the little swap we made.

He's now running the radio station, and I'm in charge of the newspaper again.

I want him out of here. Tell her.

I'm afraid there's a little problem with that, Mrs. Channing. What's the

problem? It's a little matter of a contract.

that Mr. Reardon drew up, giving your grandson full and irrevocable control of

the new globe.

You certainly are an able attorney, Mr. Reardon. I do believe that contract is

virtually unbreakable.

I think this is one occasion when I wish I hadn't been quite so able.

I can understand an unbreakable contract, but I can't say the same for

grandson's neck.

Let's go.

Have a nice day.

I think it's going to be terrific.

You're a very able attorney, Mr. Reardon.

What have you got? A little mutual admiration society going between the two

you? Does it bother you? No, not at all. I think it's wonderful.

You never know, it might prove useful down the road.

Don't worry, it won't.

Not for you, anyway.

Hi, baby.

Ooh, who's the doll?

You know, you're one busy guy. I've been waiting a half hour for you.

Well, you're gonna love what I've been doing with my time.

I think I just hired the best top 40 program director in the country.

He's coming here? He's coming right here, baby, and he's bringing five of

top DJs with him.

Oh, that's great, Lance.

I'm changing everything. Call letters, the format.

We're gonna have the best top 40 rock station in the West.

You really get things done, don't you?

Is that all you have to say?

How about thank you?

No, really, thank you for all the nice things you've been doing for me.

Well, I'm doing all this stuff for us.

I'm doing all the program format changes so that your music is going to be

heard. I mean, before you know it, these radio stations will be calling up,

picking up on your songs.

Who's this hot new singer?

Talk it up. Come on, tell me more, tell me more. Well, you probably have more

airtime than Bruce Springsteen. How does that sound?

It sounds like I'm going to be a star.

Then again, I may not even talk to you then.

Oh, is that right?

Who wants to talk anyway?

Huh?

Sorry I didn't hear you come in.

It does seem you've been a bit preoccupied the past few days.

People do say I'm a good listener, even for a priest.

I don't know. This is something I have to work through myself.

I'm here.

If there's anything I can do to help.

Maybe it would help...

Melissa Gioberti.

She needs more experience in counseling than I can give her.

I thought your counseling sessions with Melissa were going very well. I had the

impression she was pouring her heart out to you.

Maybe I shouldn't have transferred here.

Maybe I needed more time back in Marysville.

Certainly a more filtered life.

Everything that's happened since I came here has been pulling me away from the

spiritual life.

pulling me toward worldly things, worldly temptations.

I've come to know you pretty well, Chris.

You're strong enough to resist anything that comes down the pike, if you want

to.

Believe me, the struggle will make you a better priest.

Sounds like you've been there.

Just don't go thinking you're the only priest to ever question his commitment.

And what if I don't find the answers?

Maybe you weren't meant for all this in the first place.

I have to go hear confessions.

Well, hello, Grandma. You haven't been waiting up for me, have you?

Matter of fact, I have.

Why don't you come in? We'll have a little chat.

Sure.

You can take care of that matter for me, if you will, Charlie.

You don't mind if I pour myself a drink, do you? Oh, no, no. Feel free.

How have the last few days gone at the New Globe?

Oh, business as usual.

No trouble readjusting to the running of a newspaper?

No, none.

You know, Ralph Delaney has been such a tremendous, tremendous help.

As a matter of fact, I think the paper runs itself.

Delaney has always been very loyal to you.

Which is probably why Richard is going to fire him.

Uh -oh.

Now, how could you trade your birthright?

A second -rate radio station against a metropolitan newspaper? I didn't think

you were that stupid. Okay.

So you found out before I had the chance to tell you, but the fact still remains

that Richard had something I wanted. The radio station.

So we traded jobs. No harm, no foul.

How dare you say that to me when you know what that newspaper means to this

family? Grandmother, I'm doing something on my own.

I'm going to make KRDC the best radio station in the country. Are you

to me?

Grandmother.

Charlie has packed your things and they're in the car. You're kicking me

Exactly. And don't come sneaking around here because I'm having the locks on the

doors changed tomorrow. Oh, for heaven's sake. Out.

Channing residence?

Yeah, hi there. This is Dwayne Cooley again. I'm still real anxious to talk to

Emma. I'm very sorry, sir, but Miss Channing left early this morning on an

overseas trip.

She's out of the country?

When's she coming back?

Oh, not for more than a month.

Possibly two.

But she did leave a message for you, Mr. Cooley.

Yeah? She said what happened was a mistake.

She never wishes to see or hear from you again.

I guess maybe we both made a mistake.

Well, I hope that's the last we'll hear of him.

Emma keeps asking if he called.

You didn't tell her any of the other calls. No, I followed your instructions.

But I do not like hurting Emma.

Charlie, leave me.

It's for her own good.

Yeah, you're in the bind, all right.

I've been going over the few options you have in fighting this water plant.

We're ready to try anything now.

Straining order, environmental impact report.

Is that it?

Like I said, what few options you have are doggone scarce.

Riley, these are just delaying tactics.

I'm painfully aware of that, Maggie.

There's got to be a way to stop Angela and Costello and make it stick.

Problem is, they look like they're acting for the good of the whole valley.

Yeah, and no one seems to notice that we're the ones who are going to be out

business without a dime's worth of compensation.

Everything goes to Connie.

Angela's got an instinct for the jugular, but surely she's got a weak

Costello must have a weak spot.

It's as easy as a crook.

The trouble is, he's got most everybody around here bamboozled.

What if he didn't?

What if we were able to expose him for what he really is and show the community

he is a crook? If you could do that, the Board of Supervisors would have to dump

his water plant.

The question is how to do it.

Okay, well, let's think about it. What if we were to ask a favor of Costello

see if he suggests getting paid for it? We could record the entire transaction.

That's exactly what he deserves. I love it.

What about you, Riley?

The idea appeal to you?

Can't rightly say I love it, but I could learn to like it a lot.

Yeah, you're right. It's a great picture.

That's a lot of strain there.

Melissa!

Let a big, strong man help you with that. Chris!

Thank you.

Talk about perfect timing.

Yeah, that changing table. I take it as a gift. For your cousin, perhaps?

Yes. I realized I've been a little tough on Robin.

Father Chris made me see that.

So I guess I'm just trying to atone for past mistakes.

I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

Oh, this isn't it.

I kind of bought out the whole store. There's a lot more inside.

I'll get it for you.

Melissa, I just want to say I am very pleased with your progress.

Chris, I wanted to thank you so much to talk to you.

It's about what I've tried to tell you.

About what I feel for you.

You can't have these feelings, Melissa.

You know I can't possibly return or accept anything but feelings of

not ever.

I didn't want this to happen.

Think. Don't let your emotions run your life.

I'm trying.

I am.

Here we are.

Father, you didn't have to do that. Well, I wanted to. You really did buy it

the store.

Yes, I did.

Here we go.

I guess it all fits in.

Thank you.

Thank you, Father Bob, Father Chris, for everything.

You're welcome.

Bye -bye, Melissa.

Wonderful.

Melissa seems to be taking your counseling to heart.

Keep up the good work.

Angela.

Oh, Peter.

Can this wait?

A minute is all I need first to give you this.

Oh.

Well, they're very beautiful.

I've been walking in the hills behind the vineyard.

It gave me an idea, Angela.

I invite you to a picnic, the kind we always enjoyed so much.

A picnic?

Well, I haven't been on a picnic for years.

But not today, Peter.

No, no. I need a day or two to make arrangements.

But you will accept.

Yes, I'll accept.

You make me very happy, Angela.

What are you laughing at?

You wouldn't be falling in love with the man you intend to marry, now, would

you?

Certainly not.

Now, come here.

This was just hand -delivered.

I thought you'd want to see it.

That is Richard Channing's monogram, isn't it?

What big eyes you have, Alice.

All the better to read the help wanted ads, no doubt.

Can I help it if I'm an incurable romantic?

What is it?

He's invited me to meet him at the Cooperage Club.

Want me to reply?

No, I'll take care of the reply, thank you. A personal note deserves a personal

answer.

Why do we have tears on such a beautiful day, Emma?

I think Dwayne is dead.

He would have called me otherwise.

What really breaks my heart is that just this once, someone really loved me just

for myself.

Excuse me.

She asked me to come over and talk.

I'm afraid I wasn't much help.

It's not easy giving advice to the love more especially when you lack experience

in that department Your way of life is a puzzle to me You're a handsome young

man. I see how the women look at you Do you not have any feeling for them?

No, I do Just that I have more feeling for the kind of life I've chosen

And what about you how do you deal with attractive women who like you

gratefully my young friend

And as the years pass, very gratefully indeed.

Hello, Cass.

Hello, Richard.

Glad you could make it.

Well, I must admit, your note took me by surprise.

Me too.

But, well,

I suppose you have some business in mind.

Oh, I suppose you could call it business.

I think we've got some things to talk about.

Cass, I appreciate the money you paid me back, but I can't pretend that I'm not

still hurting over what you did to me.

Richard, I took no pleasure in what I did. You would have to understand my

entire life to know that.

Even when I believed the deranged lies of my mother, I took no pleasure in it.

I'm still fond of you. I haven't forgotten the good times.

I just don't trust you.

I don't blame you.

You know, I didn't want to fall in love with you.

I still love you.

And, uh... If you're willing to try again,

I would like that.

I do think that sometimes we're too careless with that word.

Love.

I never used it before.

Maybe we just ought to, uh... drink to new beginnings.

Hope for the best.

Let's try a new beginning.

You know, I really can't believe those big -name DJs from back east really want

to come here.

It's the weather.

I mean, it's got to be the weather. It's sunny here all the time. Big bucks.

Beautiful California girls.

Who could possibly turn us down?

Anybody ever turn you down for anything?

Call the police, Apples.

We're moving to Falcon Crest now.

No, no, no, no, no, no. That comes later. We need this thing here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I didn't cause that, did I?

Thanks, pal. I don't know why we're having such trouble with this. Here, let

help. Let me help.

I used to take over after your father gave up.

Where are the instructions?

You don't need instructions.

I see your problem.

Oh, look what I found.

Aha!

And they're in English. I will be able to help. Phone, Robin.

Oh, thanks, Dorothy.

First thing is... Hello?

Hello? Robin?

Who is this?

Oh, this is Angela Channing.

Do you remember we met briefly at the Gio Verdi's party?

Of course I remember.

It's just that I'm surprised to hear from you.

Well, I must admit I have been a little remiss as far as you're concerned, but I

was hoping that you might have lunch with me like a week from today.

Sure. I mean, it's very nice of you to ask. I'd like to.

Oh, that's marvelous, Robin.

I'll call you and tell you what time and what place.

And I would suggest that you don't say anything to Melissa.

It's really you I want to get acquainted with.

That's great.

I'll be talking to you.

More mischief, Mother.

You hardly know Melissa's cousin.

No.

But I'm well acquainted with her doctor.

Haven't gotten together yet?

Maybe it's effective.

on sale, Melissa?

No, full price.

Only the best for you, Robin.

Is that your mother?

No.

Wrong number.

As Richard Channing's attorney, I am pleased to announce that all the legal

documents have now been signed to make Miss Terry Ransom a full partner in the

Tuscany Downs racetrack.

and Turf Club.

Well, how nice to be sandwiched here between two beautiful ladies.

I want to thank you all for being here for this momentous occasion. As you all

know, a certain number of perks come with an important advancement in life.

So, Terry, I want you to know at this moment, your name is being inscribed on

your own private lot in our executive parking lot. How about that, huh?

Now, also, we have here a reserved for Terry Ransom sign.

And we're going to place that back there in my private booth here in the Turf

Club, and you feel free to use it any time, even when I'm here.

This is the biggie, without which no man nor woman can lay claim to greatness.

A gold -plated key to the executive washroom.

Now, can I use this anytime, sir? Of course you can use it anytime you want

All right, all right.

Anytime I'm not there.

Terry Ramsey.

Congratulations, Terry. I hope this partnership brings you great wealth or

happiness or whatever you want.

I'll take some of both, Jordan.

Thank you, one and all. I am so...

Overwhelmed by my partner's generosity, I am practically speechless.

All I can say is my glass is empty.

Oh, uh,

these are for you. For me?

Good news. Thank you.

Here, hold on.

Please. For Terry?

Oh, for me.

From Cassandra Wilder.

I've been invited to dinner.

How nice.

Are you going?

I certainly am.

I may play a little hard to get at first.

Do I notice a little change of heart?

No, not really.

Miss Roberts, sometimes...

It is better to let your enemies think they're your friends, because after all,

occasionally friends want to do nice things for you.

Excuse me, Terry.

These arrived a little late, but, well, it's a thought that counts.

Richard, these are gorgeous. You are so thoughtful. Oh, sure.

Oh,

there it is.

Sorry. No problem, Emma.

I don't mean to disturb you.

Are you all right?

I don't think I've ever seen you so down.

Well, if you must know, I'm a mess.

Not to mention a floozy and a fool.

Come here, come here.

Sit down.

I forbid you to talk that way about my favorite person. Now, what is all this?

I met a man. Come on.

Dwayne.

He was wonderful.

I thought, I really... I really believed that it was love at first sight for

both of us.

And now you don't think so.

He hasn't phoned.

He hasn't even sent a postcard.

I guess Mother was right. It was just a cheap one -night stand.

Oh, Emma.

You're not capable of such a thing.

What you felt...

What you did were true and honest, whether you ever see Duane again or not.

Greg, I might as well just face reality.

I must not be attractive enough to keep a man.

Oh, Emma.

If I were a decent sort of guy, I'd probably fall in love with you myself,

those innocent eyes and that sly little smile.

You're a sweet, generous spirit, and you deserve far more happiness than you'll

ever be allowed if you allow Angela to dominate your life.

Do you really think so?

Damn right I do.

And I also think it's too soon to give up on this Duane fellow.

I'm sure there's a very good reason why you haven't heard from him.

Oh, I hope he's all right.

I'm sure he's all right.

But I think you ought to give him a little bit longer, don't you?

Baby, you're right.

I do feel better.

Thank you.

I'm still not red hot for this idea, so if we're going to do it, we're going to

do it according to my rules.

Number one being that this is a police operation all the way.

Legal every step of the way.

So, you think he can live with that?

We haven't worked out the details, but we'd like it that way, too.

You know, I think it's about time somebody went after Costello. I mean, he

thinks he owns the Tuscany County.

Yeah, well, we thought that you might have, you know, had an encounter with

Oh, not only me. He's after everything in skirts.

He never pays the tab at the turf club, thinks everything is... including me.

I mean, this guy is a slime, and I have known some of the slimiest.

That's why we asked you to be here.

You have been around, so to speak.

It's all right, Chase. We're all of age here. Look, Terry, we don't want you to

get involved in this. We thought that you might know someone who would be

willing to work with us. Maybe someone who was involved with security at the

club. You know, something like that.

Maybe I do.

I know somebody who's smart, sexy, seductive, and

who wants Costello to scout as much as you do.

Can you get me an introduction?

Terry, who would this be?

You're looking at her.

Hey, it's a great idea.

No, no, you are not going to get involved in this. Perfect setup.

Think about it. I'm not only right for the part. I'm the only logical choice.

Terry, it is too... Hold on. She just might be right.

It is too dangerous. The good chef looking after me.

The fact is, since Terry recently invested in the Tustany Downs racetrack,

could be someone who might want a favor.

Yeah, now look.

The racetrack only generates income during the racing season. Now,

She were to ask for help in getting a card room license for the turf club.

Gotcha.

Moneymaker year -round.

Other folks who have tried to open poker and pan clubs here in the valley have

always been turned down, even though it's legal.

Legal subject to local option. And that option is in the hands of the Board of

Supervisors. You can't offer Costello money to swing your license. That would

entrapment. I don't think I like this.

Maggie, I can take care of myself. All I do is ask him for a favor and then

let him set the price.

I do believe that sucker's finally gone to jail.

Yeah. Uh -oh.

Well, go on. Take it in the house.

Good morning.

You've got ten minutes to get out of here and take that Apollonia person with

you. Well, you got her name right, Grandma. That's a first. It's a last.

last I want to see of you and her on my property.

What do you want from me?

Huh? Do you want me dead?

Don't be so dramatic. Not dead.

Gone. You know, you seem to forget how things were with me a little while ago.

I didn't think I had a reason to live.

Then I meet the sweet...

Beautiful, talented girl comes into my life and gives me a reason to wake up in

the morning.

What a touching story.

Grandmother, it's not safe where she lives.

There was a break -in last night. Some maniac with a knife.

Pulling out all the stops, eh?

Look, this is my home.

I miss it.

And I miss you, honestly.

Well, the girl can stay in the guest house.

But you go back to your room in the main house. And don't come sneaking down

here for any hanky -panky. Do I make myself clear?

You got it.

I'll give you my word of honor.

We'll see that you keep it.

There are three things about me, Lance, that you promise not to sleep with me.

Well...

No, no, no.

I've got to see you. I couldn't stop him, Kat. It's all right, Alice. It's

right. Thank you.

What's the problem, Richard?

I wanted to talk to you, and I happen to be in the neighborhood.

I've been thinking, Kat.

About our new beginnings.

I don't know how, at least I can't. I can't think about the future when I

can't forget about the past.

Is this your way of turning down my dinner invitation?

Yes.

I guess it is.

I'll give you a call

Emma, sweetheart, I've missed you so much. Then why didn't you call me?

You put me down.

How dare you just stop by like this?

Well, how come you didn't answer the phone?

They said you were out of the country and you never wanted to see me again.

Who said that?

You did call?

Emma, this past week I've been in more phone booths than Superman.

What's going on around here?

You did call. You did.

Have you no shame.

Why did you stop Dwayne's calls from getting through to me?

Because I don't think he's a suitable person for you to be seen with.

Mother, you are a disgusting snob.

Oh, she didn't mean that, Mr. Channing.

And I don't blame you for wanting to protect her.

But you don't need to protect her from me because I love her.

More than I can say.

Oh, Dwayne.

Come on, Emma. We're going to Fresno.

I'm picking up a load of lettuce.

I love letters.

Don't be foolish, Emma.

Mother, for once I know exactly what I'm doing.

Emma, get down out of that cab right this minute.

If you go off, you may not have a home to come back to.

Ultimatums are dangerous, my dear.

Especially where our children are concerned.

My ultimatums don't seem to be doing much good lately.

You see, I'm right again.

Well, don't always be right.

I can tell you what a deadly bore it is.

And of course, now that I've made the investment, I want to make sure that it

pays off.

And not just during the racing season.

Well, that sounds reasonable, but... Thank you.

A card club? I don't know. Think about it.

You've done some research. A card club would boost Chuckie Meadown's profits by

38 % first year.

And that's being conservative.

That's asking for trouble. You see, the last supervisor who asked for a card

club license got dumped in a recall election. You see, the voters, they

like gambling houses.

Did the license get issued?

No, no. The applicant lost his financing and the whole thing fell apart like a

real house of cards.

There you have it.

The first thing to do is to go with a licensee who you know won't go broke,

me.

Uh -huh.

What's the second thing?

Finding a supervisor who is willing to risk getting recalled and losing an

election because he has a nice little...

retirement nest egg tucked away. Do you know any supervisors like that, Mr.

Costello?

Careful, girl.

No numbers. Let him name his own price.

She's doing all right.

A lot better than I'd hoped for.

I'm kind of new at this.

Give me a hint.

Do you think we can make...

If anything has happened to her, I'll never forgive myself.

Are you all right? I'm wonderful, but he's still alive.

He didn't go for it? He's cagey. He got right up to the point of naming a bride

figure and then backed off. Said there was too much risk involved.

He got that part right.

Damn, I'm sure he was too greedy to resist this.

Too late to save the Giannini vineyards. Well, I'm glad it's over. I hated you

being involved.

I still am involved.

And the game isn't over.

What are you talking about?

About Costello.

I am going to make that man an orphan. He can't.

Next on Falcon Crest.

You are a very attractive woman.

You're also a very frustrating woman.

Angela's told me a great deal about you. You must be thrilled that I'm marrying

Where's the baby's father?

He stays in touch.

Why don't we start at the beginning?
