I don't care what Peter says. Grandmother can't be in Italy without

passport. That doesn't mean that something terrible has happened to her.

then why is Peter lying to us?

Terry, I don't understand this. Who are these men?

They seem to know you pretty well.

You inspired me.

Well, all I did was listen. And helped and cared.

And, you know, sometimes that's all someone really needs is someone to care.

Someone to love.

I don't care what Peter says. Grandmother can't be in Italy without

passport. That doesn't mean that something terrible has happened to her.

then why is Peter lying to us? Well, I'm sure he has his reasons. Well, that's

not good enough for me.

How do we know they're even really married?

Well, we don't know that they aren't.

You've seen the way he looks at her. He loves her.

I know. And Grandmother probably loves him back. But she wouldn't give her

of attorney to anyone, especially someone outside of the family, Emma.

I just think we should give him the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah?

I think we should give him ten seconds to tell us the truth. Listen, I think we

should talk to Greg before we do anything.

Why hasn't Grandmother called us?

Why hasn't Dwayne called me?

You told him not to, Miss Emma.

Well, that's no reason.

We must all be patient.

A timeful confrontation will make itself known.

Anyone seen my son?

Oh, you mean he's disappeared, too?

Hello, all.

Eric, I'd like a word, please.

The natives seem a bit restless.

Is there something happening I should know about?

I'll take care of Angela's family.

Your preoccupation is the Agretti harvest.

Melissa's playing hard to get, but I'm enjoying the challenge.

Think with your head, Eric.

Not with other parts of your anatomy. This is a very important matter.

I'll keep after her.

Finding a strange tie in your apartment is hardly enough to doubt your sanity.

I think I've got here any number of ways. I mean, your housekeeper could

been using it as a rag. It could have come in by mistake from the dry

I mean, anything here. Craig, don't you understand? It's not just the tie.

It's these blocks of time that I can't account for and the nightmares.

I just feel like I'm coming apart at the seams.

Sounds tough, but you're confused and troubled.

Emotionally strung out. I know, I know. Little Miss Looney Tunes, hearing voices

and seeing ghosts.

That's not what I meant at all.

Don't you see? It's true. I am seeing ghosts.

I just can't stand it anymore.

Jordan.

Jordan, wait.

Want the truck loaded and on its way to Fresno by six o 'clock.

I want to talk to you.

I was hoping you would, Emma.

Why didn't you tell me that you thought that mother was involved in the

hijacking? At first, there wasn't any proof.

She would never have done that to me. What do you?

Not to you, Emma. At least not intentionally.

But she didn't know we were going to be on that truck.

Nobody did.

Look, it's out of our hands now.

I've really missed you.

Oh, Dwayne.

I've missed you, too.

I just always assumed the bank would be a little flexible on the

balloon payment.

Of course, I realize you're not responsible for current economic trends,

you refuse to let me refinance, you will be responsible for disrupting my

business.

Draining that much cash out of my operation in the next 30 days will be

financial suicide.

Fine, I'll get my financing elsewhere.

Well, that's telling them.

You know, Richard, I have been thinking... Don't.

That could prove to be even more dangerous than eavesdropping on my

conversations.

Partners are not supposed to have to eavesdrop, Richard. Partners are

to be included.

When I want your input, I'll ask for it. Look, I am not going to let you brush

me off this time. I want, no, I demand an equal voice. I don't do things by

committee. I have got as much at stake as you do. Then do the smart thing and

let me handle things. Look, Richard, I know this marriage is a joke to you, but

I have got a lot invested in it. I have tried seducing you. I have tried

threatening you. I am now going to try to reason with you. Please let me help.

You want to help?

Here's how.

Stay away from my business.

You're going to regret that.

I already regret so much. I'll just add this to the list.

As soon as Angela gets back, she's going to be spending all her time trying to

stay out of jail.

Yeah, but you seem to be forgetting that this Stavros is a vindictive sort of

fellow. And here we are trying to bring Angela to justice. There's no telling

what he might do.

This is all my fault.

If I hadn't tipped Angela to what was going on... With Angela, we've all had

learn the hard way.

And what we've got to do now is establish a strong offense. I agree.

Gentlemen, if Stavros is back in town, you can bet he is loaded for bear.

And as Angela's agent provocateur, he can pick us off one by one.

Or you and I, Chase, can get over that little Bellini incident, hang tough, and

fight him together.

You're a move, brother.

The only way that would work, the only way, you play by my rules,

and I mean unconditionally.

You want my signature in blood?

That's what it takes.

Any ideas on where to start our counteroffensive?

Yeah, I got a few.

One of which I think even your father will like.

With the jolly good sheriff of Tuscany.

Don't know about where you come from.

But around here, flight to avoid prosecution is a serious offense.

I've always had great respect for American justice, Sheriff.

Nowhere do I recall a law against leaving the country before there is

Angela and I were on our way several hours before this warrant was issued.

There are also laws against obstruction of justice.

Now, why don't you tell us where she is?

I would if I could. Unfortunately, my beloved wife is in transit.

Trying to stay one step ahead of the law, I'm sure.

Of course, around here, that's not too difficult.

As soon as Angela contacts me, I'll tell her you were inquiring as to her

welfare. I'm certain she'll be deeply touched by your concern.

Good day, gentlemen.

Well, I don't know. He's hiding something, Floyd.

We all know Angela's not going to back down from a fight.

She's certainly not going to lose touch with what's happening at Falcon Crest.

Well, I can't arrest what I can't find.

Oh, I'll wait her out, Sheriff. But I'm not going to sit around twiddling my

thumbs, Richard.

Don't break into a sweat chase.

I'll fight fair.

I'll let the new globe do my fighting for me.

It packs a pretty big punch.

TV interviews are personality contests, pure and simple. If the audience likes

you, they're going to buy whatever you're selling.

And if they hate me?

They couldn't hate you.

Just relax. Enjoy yourself. Have a good time.

Relax? Relax?

Please, I am an absolute nervous wreck.

I don't know. What does all of this have to do with writing, anyway?

It has to do with selling books.

Right? Which produces revenue.

Which produces royalties, which makes the whole writing process considerably

easier. Nespot?

Nespot. Now I know why you're a PR man.

I'd rather be writing books than selling books, believe me. Do you think I have

any chance of selling Consumed?

Oh, Jeffrey, that's hard to say. It really is.

You know, I told you I thought your writing was fine. I mean, it's fine

But?

But it's dark.

It's ominous. It's got a foreboding quality.

Not exactly your typical supermarket paperback fare.

What can I do to make a commission?

Tell me. I can do whatever I need to do.

I owe it to Sarah as much as I owe it to myself.

Who's Sarah?

Sarah was my fiancée.

And probably the only true love that I ever had.

She was good and kind and sensuous and so terribly beautiful.

She inspired me to write Consumed.

That's nice.

Now, I hadn't realized that you were engaged.

What happened? Why didn't you get married?

She died before we could set the date.

She was murdered, strangled. Oh, my God, how awful. I'm sorry.

I tried to deal with some of my feelings about her in the book.

That's why it's so hard for me to finish.

Well, of course. Of course it would be. And a dad.

You know, it's nice having you here to talk about this and about everything.

You're a good person, Maggie.

And a good friend.

And it's been a long damn time since I've had anybody like you in my life.

Let her go.

Beautiful day to take a long, leisurely drive, don't you think?

I don't know.

I'm busy.

Well, certainly you're not too busy to at least sit a while and share a bottle

of wine.

It's barely nine in the morning.

Well, it's noon in New York.

In Paris, it's six in the evening already.

Come on, use your imagination.

My imagination tells me that you're still trying to work your way into my

Nope. I'm trying to work my way into your heart.

Well, I don't think that's going to work either.

I neither have the time nor the energy to get involved right now. My hands are

full enough getting involved.

All right, forget about getting involved.

What do you say we settle for having a little fun?

Got anything interesting to say for yourself there, buddy?

Que suerte la mia.

The pictures are supported by statements from Miss Roberts' doorman and a few

bartenders from her regular haunts.

Who are these men with her?

Names aren't important to us or to Miss Roberts. She never seems to be with the

same fellow twice.

Playing the field, is she?

Miss Roberts' sexual activity falls more under the category of compulsive

behavior than it does casual dating.

Did you ever find out why she keeps calling herself Monica Smith?

The only thing I'm really very certain of is Miss Roberts appears to be leading

a double life.

How very unlucky for Jordan.

How terribly lucky for me.

Terry, I don't understand this. Who are these men?

They seem to know you pretty well.

I suppose you're going to ask me why I want an exchange for keeping this

us girls.

I want to be included in Richard's business dealings. You know he doesn't

you anywhere near his business.

I'm sure he'll change his mind, especially after you've given me enough

information to bargain with him.

I can't do that.

Oh, but I think you can.

Once you've carefully considered the consequences of my going public with

exotic nightlife, Monica.

Well, I don't want to keep you. Think about my offer, but don't take too long.

I'm a very impatient person.

Oh, and you can keep those.

The originals are burning a hole in my safe deposit box.

Sit tight, all right?

Bothering you.

I was just going over this joint custody agreement I'm supposed to sign.

It's, uh... I guess it's just kind of a shock to

see your entire married life reduced to...

147 words, what a waste.

Why don't you and I have a bachelor's night on town?

We'll cry in our beer, huh?

Sure, why not?

I don't think I'm up to it, Dad.

Son, I know this is all scary, lonely.

Embarrassing, frustrating, a million other things for you.

And for Melissa, too.

It probably feels like it's the end of the world.

But it isn't.

It isn't.

Hello? Hello, Melissa.

Who is this?

Eric Savros. I thought you might like to take a run into the city with me.

I hate the idea of going to an exciting place like San Francisco all alone.

Listen, um, it's late.

It's only 10 o 'clock.

I'll pick you up in 10 minutes.

No.

20.

See you then.

What are you doing here?

I was expecting room service. I am room service. What is this?

It's actually a little celebration for a wonderful TV appearance.

Congratulations. You knocked them dead. Jeffrey, this is very sweet, and I

appreciate it, but I'm absolutely exhausted.

All I want to do is eat a little supper and go to sleep.

Oh, what a shame.

What a shame.

I mean, I guess I could dump the champagne, but oh, look, it's Giberti

champagne. Some say it's the best in the state.

But if you're too tired, please understand.

You know, you're a scary guy. I think you could talk anybody into just about

anything.

I'd like to propose a toast.

To those who inspire us.

I've got exciting news.

I was up all night last night.

Yeah? Working on the outline for the final chapter of Consumed. Uh -huh. You

inspired me.

Well, all I did was listen.

And helped and cared.

And, you know, sometimes that's all someone really needs is someone to care.

Someone to love.

Hmm. Yeah.

Wait a minute. Look, I... Sorry, I think you'd better just go.

I can't.

I love you, Maggie.

Oh, stop. Listen, I've been telling myself that it's wrong, and my heart

telling me that it's right. Listen to me.

You certainly don't love me. You're just confused.

This is all just wrapped up with the book, but it certainly isn't love. Now,

don't you just call it enough? But it is love.

And it's got nothing to do with writing. It's got to do with you, and it's got

to do with me. And I know you feel it, too. I don't feel it, Jeff. Let me go.

You do. You just won't admit it, that's all. But someday you will, and I promise

you that.

Room service!

Come in.

Is everything all right, ma 'am?

Oh, it is, yes. Thank you. Would you...

I

think you'll find all the information your little heart desires in there.

Oh, I do pay special attention to that list right on top. That's all the

harvests that Richard and Chase are planning to take away from Angela

And they're having a little meeting about that tomorrow afternoon at 4 o

in Richard's office.

Well, I'm glad you finally came to your senses. This saves me the trouble of

having to make those fetching pictures of you public.

Oh, I think you should splash them right across the front page of the New Globe.

I can't think of a more perfect way to ruin Jordan once and for all.

Kind of weird, you know that?

Look, I'll tell you what. I will go ahead and give you the originals, and

can do whatever you want with them.

It's your ballgame, honey.

Thanks again, Monica.

Oh, and there'll be plenty more information where that came from.

I don't just stand there climbing to bed.

Are you gonna dance for me first? A little, uh, let's torture Richard

Does that answer your question?

I think so.

But I got a lot of questions.

And I want to tell you something.

No matter what happens here tonight, you're still not going to be a part of

business deals.

Oh, don't you worry.

Everything has been taken care of. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Come back here.

What do you mean everything's been taken care of?

I know it all.

Prices, bids, harvest, the entire list. The fact that you were going to try to

steal Sal Serafino's harvest from Angela first.

I hope you get it, by the way. It is one of the best in the valley.

How'd you find this out?

You'll never know.

There's one thing I do know.

Your little dreams of glory are going to remain just that because I'm not going

to include you in one damn thing.

That's fine with me.

I'll just go into business for myself.

Buy up every harvest in the valley that's on that list right out from under

and Chase, and we'll see who comes crawling to whom. All right.

Chase and I have a meeting in my office tomorrow at four.

I hope you can make it.

I've already got a mark to my calendar.

You've killed the mood.

If you need me for anything at all, advice, counsel, family planning, you

where to find me.

Nighty -night, partner.

This is your den.

And it leads to the patio.

It's quite a beautiful house.

Very European.

My father patterned it after his birthplace in Italy.

Care for something to drink?

How long are you planning to stay in the valley?

Only until Wednesday, I'm afraid.

I'm scheduled to join an expedition in Kenya.

It must be so exciting to be established.

All that money and power. Do what you want, when you want, with whom you want.

Yeah, I'd say that's a pretty fair description.

All right.

I'm grateful you...

Turned what could have been a miserable evening into something special.

It came along when I really needed a friend.

But I don't want... But I hope that our relationship isn't going to stop at just

being pals.

I hate pals.

I just don't know what it is that I want right now.

I do know what I don't want, okay?

You are not listening to me. I'm serious. What makes you think being with

tonight is just going to bring you doom and disaster? Why don't you just...

the best because i have more times than i can count and i've been in one rotten

relationship after another i need to take a break listen it's not you maybe

just men maybe it's just me with men we're just wrong men

Who is it?

Jeff Wainwright would like to read a prepared statement.

Jeff, this isn't necessary.

It is to me.

Dr. Wainwright regrets any pain, hurt, or embarrassment he caused Maggie

Gioberti.

To paraphrase a famous statesman, I made a mistake of the heart, and I am so

very sorry.

Jeff, look, I know that you have had some awful things happen to you in your

life. However, I am real uncomfortable with what happened between us last

And I would like us to keep our relationship on a strictly business

now on.

Whatever you say, Maggie.

I also don't think it's a good idea for us to go on to Chicago.

I'd like to cancel the rest of the tour.

No, I... Yes.

I've already set up a couple of TV interviews and a half a dozen print

interviews.

Look, what happened last night is not going to happen again, I promise.

And I would hate to lose my job over this.

Okay,

I'll go on to Chicago.

But just mail me my itinerary and my ticket. I'm going to take an early

back to San Francisco today, okay?

Pray that you will forgive me.

Someday.

Fine, but just tell me one thing.

Why would I give Terry anything but especially important information about

own client? I don't know.

Jordan, I'm not saying that you did anything on purpose.

Now, it doesn't take a doctor to know that there is something wrong here.

Now, it is possible in your current state that you could have left papers

Terry could have come along, seen them, and made copies of them.

I don't think so, Richard.

But that woman is a snake. I mean, maybe she rifled through your briefcase while

you were asleep.

I locked my briefcase in the safe. Well, maybe she picked the lock. How do I

know?

But, Richard, one thing I do know.

When I came to work for you six months ago, you were down and out. You were

broke.

Now, whether you want to admit it or not, I helped you get back on your feet.

Now, I don't demand abject loyalty like some people around here.

But I do ask for the benefit of the doubt.

We'll figure this thing out.

Everything will be fine.

I think I will work at home the rest of the day.

I'll give you a call if I need you.

Do that.

Come here, Miss Jones.

What is the matter with you?

That, Miss Jones, is a woman on the edge.

Would you please sit down?

Sure.

Do you think that you could follow her without being seen?

Of course. But what should I be looking for?

Treachery, Miss Jones.

Someone in my employ has been leaking information to my dearly beloved wife.

And the list of suspects has narrowed to one.

What do you guys do in here so

early? Hi, Mommy.

Well, I didn't want to keep Joseph away too long. Besides, I wanted to drop this

off. Here's our custody agreement, signed, sealed, and delivered.

That's great.

I'm glad we decided to work this out like adults. Who knows?

Maybe we'll be better at divorce than we were at marriage.

Yeah.

Um, Cole, could you do me a favor? Could you watch Joseph for just a couple of

extra hours?

Yeah, sure.

Great.

Everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

You've got someone here, don't you?

Certainly didn't take you long to go back to your old ways, did it?

Call next time before you come by. It'll save us both a lot of aggravation.

Come on, Joseph.

Mommy just got here. Yeah, well, Mommy has something she just has to do.

Baby, I'll come and take you to the park later, okay?

Would you like me to leave?

I guess he must have slept in.

He had a business meeting last night with Melissa Gioverti. He'd been trying

line up a harvest for Angela.

Would you mind waking my son, Charlie?

Eric's bed was not slept in last night, Mr. Stavros.

Good old Melissa.

Social disease of the Tuscany Valley.

Emma, I have a favor to ask of you.

Would you go over this week's dinner menus with Charlie?

This is something Angela usually does, but I'm afraid I wouldn't know what to

say to the man.

I'd be happy to, Peter.

Thank you.

There's something I'd like you to do, Lance.

Would you mind writing down some information on Richard Channing for me?

Would I mind being your errand boy?

Of course not.

Any other chores you want me to do?

Lance. It's all right, Emma.

Go on, Lance.

Anything more you want to get off your chest?

Yeah.

Viv.

Where is my grandmother, Peter? And don't tell me she's in Italy. You can't

into Italy without a passport.

You do if you have the right connections, like myself.

Like hell.

Lance, this is not the time.

When is the time, Emma?

When the Stavros have kicked us out of our own house?

I'm sick and tired of the mystery. I want to know where my grandmother is,

Peter. I won't debate my loyalty to Angela with you or anyone else.

I'm here at her request and for no other reason.

And that's all I'm going to say on the subject.

Morning. I want you to dig up everything you can on Richard Channing. His debts,

loans, whatever financial information you can find. And I want it on my desk

tonight.

Any questions?

Good. I'll be in Angela's study.

Okay. What happened?

Lance has practically accused Peter of kidnapping mother. Now wait just a

minute. Peter says grandmother's in Italy and this passport says she isn't.

tell me what's going on. I don't know.

But I will not sit here and listen to this craziness any longer.

I trust Peter and you should too.

It's just not like grandmother to run away from her problems.

We haven't heard one word from her. Look, I don't like the sound of it

But I really don't believe that Starbroth has done anything to Angela.

Look, all I'm saying is that something fishy is going on here.

I mean, as long as Peter has power of attorney, he gets to call all the shots.

Now, is there any way we can stop him from doing this?

Yeah, but it's rather drastic, and quite frankly, despite everything, something

I'd have to advise you against.

Well, we'd better do something, Greg.

For our sake as well as grandmother's.

Or else Fountaincrest is just going to be another notch on Peter's belt.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm just saying hello in my own inimitable fashion, Monica. Come on,

Larry. Remember?

I think you've got me confused with someone else. My name is not Monica.

I remember you.

Every inch of you.

Remember that magic moment you walked over to me at Rusty's Tavern and asked

to go back to your apartment?

Remember all those magic moments that happened after we got back there?

Look, I am not who you think I am.

Please, just leave me alone.

Maybe I'm no Casanova, but I'm not completely forgettable. I mean, Monica,

on, what are you doing? My name isn't Monica. Now, if you don't leave me

I am going to call the manager.

Okay, okay, all right.

I'm leaving, lady. You are one weird lady.

You know that.

And then she asked questions about the trials and tribulations and struggles of

being a writer.

You know, it was a pretty straightforward interview.

And, of course, you told her of the courage and bravery of your...

Husband who has suffered through your art? Honey, I told her you changed a

typewriter ribbon for me once.

Despite the cynicism, I'm glad you came home early. Oh, sweetie, me too. Me too.

Well, this publisher's rep seems to be doing a good job for you.

Is this the same guy who wrote that book, what was that, Obsessive or

Consummation?

Consumed. Consumed.

Same guy? Same guy.

Actually, he's turned out to be a little bit more than just... An adoring fan.

What do you mean?

He made a pass at me in the hotel room.

What happened?

Nothing. Nothing, really.

You know, once I set him straight, he apologized, and that was that.

Darling, I don't want to upset you. I just wanted you to know.

Well, I'm glad this tour is almost over.

Yeah, so am I.

For a lot of reasons.

I come from a rich family, so I think I did my traveling by reading.

You know, one day you could be in Australia, the next day Victorian

So it was a form of escape.

Is that why you became a writer then, to escape?

Huh.

Um, yeah, I'm sure that was part of it.

And you get to make up your own world.

You can create your own people, your own event, your own feeling.

You could say it's the ultimate power trip.

Is that why you became

a writer, then, too, at the Cape?

Huh.

Um, yeah, I'm sure that was part of it.

And you get to make up your own world.

You can create your own people, your own events, your own feelings.

You could say it's the ultimate power trip.

And you get to make up your own world.

You can create your own people, your own events, your own feelings.

You could say it's the ultimate...

I'm ready.

You look wonderful.

You nervous?

A little.

It's been a long time since I've been with any man.

Besides Chase.

Don't mention his name again.

From now on, it's just you and me.

You will

be gentle

with me, won't you?

Couldn't be any other way with you.

I thought you might like something to eat. You've been holed up here all day.

I guess I've lost all track of time.

There's so much here to look over, so much to learn.

I don't know what I'd do without you, Emma.

You've been my one true friend around here lately.

Well, I've been worried as much as Lance has about Mother.

But I trust you.

Thank you.

Too much.

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

Oh, no, Greg. I was just leaving anyway.

Did you find out anything interesting about our friend Channing? He's up to

usual juggling act.

Tried to keep his company afloat, trading both ends against the middle.

there in the printer.

He's really borrowed himself right up to the hill, hasn't he?

He did an excellent job.

Thanks.

We've got a couple of other business matters to discuss.

A handful of growers' contracts expire at the end of the week. We're going to

have to make a decision about which ones to renew.

Do whatever you think Angela would do.

No, that's exactly the problem.

The last time that Angela and I spoke about it, she was on the fence about

of the vineyards.

You make the decision, Greg. I'm sure she'd trust your judgment.

I want you to take out a draft of $30 million from the Falcon Crest account

first thing in the morning.

Put it in my name.

What for?

I can't say right now.

Yeah.

Don't worry. I'm not going to South America with it.

Is there something else?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I'm not in a position.

To withdraw that kind of money without just some sort of explanation.

You'll just have to trust me on this.

I can't tell you why right now, for your own good.

Mr. Stavros, Mrs. Channing pays me a handsome retainer because she does trust

judgment. I can't and won't take out any money without an explanation why.

I am running Falcon Crest for now.

I'll decide what you should know and when.

Are you going to get me that draft or am I going to have to do it myself?

You're going to have to do it yourself.

Because I work for Mrs. Channing, not for you.

I read it.

You don't work for either of us anymore.

You're fired.

Now get out.

Next on Falcon Crest.

You're asking for trouble, Mr. Reed, and I'll give you more than you can handle.

See you in court.

My private life is none of your concern.

I may have signed a joint custody agreement.

Start acting like a tramp, and I'll move heaven and earth to take him away from

you. I hear you and my ex -wife are getting real chummy. Does that bother

just didn't think you were the type to like cold leftovers.
