My husband, how is he? I'm afraid I
can't offer you much hope.

Sabrina Cross, this is my husband,
Richard Channing.

And this is your son.

Is this your idea of a joke, Terry?

I didn't believe it at first either.

That's an earthquake.

It's alright, it's just a little tremor.

Emma, are you alright?

Their medic helicopter will be here in a
couple of minutes. They'll be taken to

the trauma center in the city.

They're on their way.

It's not that bad.

It's all worse than that.

I'm glad you're okay.

Don't talk to him.

Maggie! Maggie!

I'm sorry!

I'm so very, very sorry. I never meant
it to end this way. Get him out of the

car.

Oh, yeah. It's all worse.

Much worse.

Yeah,

I'd like to talk to the county building
inspector, please.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Grandmother, you taught me everything I
know about decency and fairness. I'm

morally bankrupt. You'll love it.

Hello?

Is this the county inspector?

Look, my name is not important, okay?
I'm a construction worker. I'm helping

build that new winery over on the
Negretti property.

The project's a joke.

Okay, they're cutting costs everywhere.

Poor drainage, substandard building
materials.

There's even cracks in the foundation.

If you ask me, it looks like somebody's
taking money.

No, I'm not going to tell you who I am.

But if you don't believe me, you can go
over there and check it out for

yourself.

Right.

Suppose Melissa isn't using substandard
material.

Well, she is now.

Yes, this is Angela Channing.

Good heavens, when did that happen?

Well, thank you very much for calling.

What? What is it?

Somebody shot Chase.

It's the emergency, Frank.

You tell me. A couple of these county
guys stopped by about half an hour ago

set it upon us like flies, threatening
to shut the place down.

What? That seems to be the problem.

Well, let's start with reinforcing rods.

Looks like you're using second -hand
junk.

That's cheap in the short run, but your
building will fall down in a year from

now. That's impossible. We submitted the
plans to your office, and you approved

them. You're ignoring those plans.

We were tipped off by one of your
workers.

Oh, I just bet you were.

Who put you up to this, Angela Channing?
Watch it, lady.

Accusations like that can get you into a
lot of trouble.

Get a little distance, Frank.

Turn up in the file.

You let him look through our files?

I didn't have any choice.

Is this your signature?

Yes. Why?

You're out of business.

Frank, just a note to remind you of our
agreement.

By cutting a few corners, we should be
able to save half a million dollars in

building costs.

Enclosed is a little something for your
trouble.

That's your signature.

This is a lie.

It sure as hell is. I never saw this
before in my life.

I guess you never saw this either.

The project is dead.

And I promise you, the district attorney
is going to have a long, hard look at

what we found here today.

I'll, uh... I'll send the men home.

That memo is a forgery.

And I know who's behind it. Your sweet,
dear, little stepmother. The wicked

witch at the Tuscany Valley, that's who.
Don't worry, don't worry. We'll get to

the bottom of this.

And if I find out you're right about
Angela, I'll wring her neck myself.

This is Harriet Roberts, Jordan Roberts'
mother.

We understand you're holding Jordan in
custody.

Bad timing, Mr. Reardon. We're swamped
here right now.

This money order should cover her bail.
I don't give a damn how bad the timing

is. We want her released now.

You haven't heard, have you?

Heard what?

Gilmore here. Send Jordan Roberts in.

I've got to warn you.

Your daughter should be examined by a
psychiatrist.

She's already under the care of a
doctor, Sheriff.

We had to isolate her from the other
prisoners. She was pretty violent when

brought her in here.

In here.

Oh, no, don't tell me these two creeps
bailed me out.

Come on, Jordan, we're going for a ride.
The name is Monica, honey.

Jordan is dead and buried.

Let's go.

Your place or mine?

Sorry, Mom, you're not on the guest
list.

Jordan, please, don't do this to me.

Sheriff, don't run out my room. I'm
planning to become a permanent resident.

Honestly, I mean, I can't imagine why
you'd let somebody like that back out on

the streets.

is the hardest part.

I don't.

Look, I really appreciate you all being
here. Thank you, but I don't know how

long this is going to take.

Why don't I call as soon as I know
anything, okay?

Well, we're staying here if it takes all
day and all night.

the type to give up, man.

Pull through.

Sure he will.

He's got to. He's going to be the best
man in our way.

Oh, Dr. Chapman. My husband, how is he?

He's in the recovery room.

The manager removed the bullet from his
chest. The damage was extensive.

Is he going to live?

There's collapse in both lungs, internal
bleeding.

Until we know more, I'm afraid I can't
offer you much hope.

Good guy. Hi, baby.

Hi.

Hey, pal.

Come here.

Will Grandpa be all right?

We don't know yet.

The sedative's wearing off.

She was such a pretty little girl,
Doctor.

So bright and bubbly.

Sometimes I thought she had too much
energy.

Always getting into business.

She could read when she was only three
years old.

And she never had any problem in school.

Until her father started molesting her.

I don't see where everything went so
wrong.

What am I doing here?

Greg Reardon and your mother brought you
in.

You spent the morning in a jail cell.

What's the last thing you remember,
Jordan?

I was in my apartment slicing bread.

I don't want to talk about it.

Would it help if I left the room?

at the knife in my hand, and... And it
was awful, the memory that came back.

I've never been so scared.

I managed to make it out onto the
balcony.

I thought maybe the fresh air would
help, but... Once I got there, all I

think of was just... how easy it would
be to just walk out over the edge.

I suppose that's when it blacked out.

I guess Monica went on some rampage last
night, hmm? When you were holding the

knife, what was going through your mind?

Give in to your feelings, Jordan.

No, I came so close. I came so close to
something so terrible.

I had forgotten all about it.

I'd managed to just block it right out
of my mind.

I... I guess I was about 12 or 13.

I may have been sleepwalking. I'm not
sure.

But I had this knife. I had this big
kitchen knife.

It made me feel invincible, like nothing
could ever hurt me again.

I don't know how I got it. I don't know
how I got into my parents' bedroom.

But all of a sudden, there I was.

And all I could think of was...

All I could think of was how much I hurt
inside. I just wanted to be rid of them

forever. And you know, it would have
been so easy.

I mean, they were just laying there
sound asleep.

It would have been so fast.

And there would be no more nightly
visits from Daddy.

And no more denials from Mother. And no
more pain and no more suffering.

It's just suddenly I was running down
this long, dark tunnel.

It's all a blur, but I still had that
knife in my hand.

But somebody else was holding it.

Monica.

That was the first time I ever blacked
out.

Monica saved me. I mean, all this time I
thought she was so evil.

She's part of you, Jordan.

Not good, not evil.

Just different.

She stopped you because she was trying
to protect herself.

Well, I may not have killed my father
when I was 12, but I certainly killed

four months ago.

The night I turned him away, the night
he put a bullet in his brain.

You didn't load the gun.

You didn't pull the trigger.

But as far as Monica's concerned, you
did.

That's why she came back into your life
after all those years.

My father deserved to die. He was a
monster.

And I wasn't much of a mother.

Oh, God, Jordan, can you ever forgive
me?

The barriers separating you and Monica
are breaking down.

Our work isn't finished, but there's no
reason why you should ever have another

blackout.

Richard, Harold Wilkins, your London
investigator, called.

He's found Cassandra.

He wants you to get over there right
away.

Call the airport and tell them to have
my jet standing by.

How can you go to England at a time like
this with Chase lying in the hospital?

There's nothing I can do for Chase. He's
in good hands. I want my child. I'm not

going to let him slip through my fingers
again.

But I'm going to.

No, you're not.

Richard.

Aaron Jones is in your office.

Let me know.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. No, no, no.

I told you not to come here anymore. I
believe I said it is dangerous for us to

be seen together.

I'm here to collect my weekly retainer.

Besides, the danger's past.

I heard about Chase.

Too bad.

And just when he was getting ready to
meet with the district attorney.

What are you, glad he's shot?

I've had worse news.

Yeah, then you won't mind this. Get out
of here. I don't want to see you again.

Does this mean I'm off the payroll?

You're going to regret this, Richard.

Thanks for coming.

Thanks for bailing me out.

Well, with a bit of luck, we should be
able to get them to drop the charges.

After all, you've got a very good
attorney.

I heard about the shooting.

Yes.

A real tragedy.

Chase was one of the strongest
adversaries I've ever had.

I admire him a great deal.

Your father's grave, it's...

The last place I'd expect you to visit.

Greg, I'm never going to be able to
repay you for what you've done for me.

I know I put you through a lot of grief.

I'd do it again.

I think I made a breakthrough today.

Dr. Kramer feels that I've finally
gotten Monica under my control.

And how do you feel?

Well, shaky, but better than I've felt
in years.

What are you doing for the rest of the
day?

Oh, preparing for a court case. I've got
to be in Judge's Chambers first thing

in the morning.

How about dinner at my place tomorrow
night?

I'll be there.

How about this hearing?

Is this the one with Julia?

Yeah.

I hope you know what you're doing.

I do.

For the first time in months.

Doctor, how's he doing?

He beers out. I told the nurses he could
have as much painkiller as he wanted,

but he's been turning them down. That's
the best sign yet.

Oh, God.

Thank you.

YouTube in it.

I tried to see all day, but it kept
kicking us out.

How are you feeling?

I feel great.

I feel like I've been through a meat
grinder, but I feel great.

Oh, God. Look at you talking sense
again.

I bet.

The stuff they've been giving me is
pretty potent.

I've had some wild dreams.

Mom was more like a memory.

You remember when we...

Came out here for my father's funeral.

Afterward, we went for a walk in the
vineyards.

Ah.

It's so real.

The feel of the soil under our feet.

The grapes and those beautiful vines.

It was hot. It was real scorcher that
day.

Yes, I got that terrific sunburn. Irish
Pemper.

I knew then that...

Those vineyards were in my blood.

I knew it was time to get out of New
York and really settle down, you know?

Yeah. Oh, I felt it.

I may have fought it, but I felt it.

Darling, you know that fight we had the
last time I saw you before all that

business with Jeff?

I said something really dumb about you
acting like Angela, and I'm sorry.

I'm the one who should be apologizing.

I go in and get myself shot before we
had a chance to finish our

fight.

Do me a favor, will you?

Let her stay here all night. I know how
she is.

I won't if I have to carry her out to
the car.

Good to see you guys.

That's the most preposterous thing I've
ever heard of. How dare you come here

with an accusation like that? It makes
sense to me. You've been fighting

on this winery from the beginning.

Are you insinuating that I went to the
building site and tore things apart with

my own bare hands?

Of course not. You never do your own
dirty work.

Not when you can get one of your minions
to do it for you. You want a choke on

your teeth?

Simmer down, simmer down, Lance.

Until you have something more to go on
than just your feelings, I don't want to

hear another word.

Fine. I certainly hope Eric is wrong,
Angela.

Because if he isn't, there'll be hell to
pay.

Well, it looks like your little plan
didn't work out.

Eric is still pitching for Melissa.

Yeah, well, he won't be for long.

Because tomorrow, Melissa's signature is
going to appear at some certain

banker's office.

Thought he found his dream girl.

You wouldn't be doing this because you
want to keep her all to yourself, would

you?

No, you wouldn't do that.

Let me just...

What happened?

She died in childbirth. I don't know the
particulars. The hospital wouldn't

allow us access to the records, sir.

What about the baby?

The boy survived.

He was taken from the nursery by Miss
Wilder's brother.

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to
locate him.

You called me all the way over here to
tell me that?

We did have an address where Damon
Rossini told the hospital he was taking

baby, but by the time we got there, he'd
gone, sir. You were already in the air.

Take me back to the airport.

These are letters from the heads of the
convent where Mrs. Compson has been

staying. Now, as you will read, her
behavior has been exemplary.

Your Honor, we are not here to debate
whether Julia Compson has been a model

prisoner.

Ms. Earl is correct. This is an appeals
court, not a parole board.

Fine, then why don't we discuss the
discrepancies in Mrs. Compson's original

preliminary hearing?

Although there was substantial evidence
that she was emotionally distraught, she

was never ordered to undergo any kind of
psychiatric observation.

Your Honor, most murderers who are
caught red -handed are bound to be

distraught. The trial judge allowed her
to act as her own attorney, even though

the woman obviously had some kind of
perverse death wish.

Oh, come off it, Jordan. Diminished
capacity is the oldest trick in the

Your Honor, the poor woman pleaded with
the judge to give her the death penalty.

Now, the original attorney tried to
intercede. The judge wouldn't even hear

it. And he didn't grant a request,
either. Oh, no, he was so overwhelmed

mercy, he sentenced her to life
imprisonment with no possibility of

And now he is allowing her to serve her
sentence in a convent in Oregon.

Judge Archer, Julia Compson has already
been granted more freedom than she ever

deserved. She is a menace. She murdered
two people in cold blood.

I know that, Miss Earle.

That's why it pains me to make the only
decision I can.

I've examined the trial transcripts.

And I reviewed your written arguments.

As an appeals court judge in the state
of California, I am duty -bound to

protect the due process of the law.

I have no choice but to order the
release of Julia Compson pending a new

Your Honor, this is a travesty.

Mr. Stavros, this is Byron Adams from
the San Francisco Merchants Bank.

I hope I'm just overreacting, but I
thought I ought to check with you first.

What is it?

Well, I have a request here to transfer
$500 ,000 from the Agretti Stavros

Corporation to Melissa Agretti's
personal account.

Go on.

We ran a routine signature check on the
draft.

Melissa Agretti's is genuine.

Yours appears to be a forgery.

You sure about Melissa's signature?

I'm positive.

Don't make any transfers until I've had
a chance to speak to my partner.

And thanks for calling.

What is it?

Why don't you tell me?

That was our friendly banker.

It seems your signature is turning up in
a lot of odd places these days.

I don't have any idea what you're
talking about.

$500 ,000 transfer to your personal
account.

Strange coincidence, isn't it? That's
exactly what you were expected to say by

cutting corners on the construction
site.

Don't tell me you believe that pack of
lies.

You betrayed me, Melissa.

For weeks, people have been warning me
about you.

I don't know why I ignored them.

Where are you going?

I'm sure as hell not staying here with
Rue. You and me and that idiotic winery

you taught me into financing.

You're going to hear from my lawyer.

I intend to get my money back.

Eric, please don't leave me.

Even the ground around here is unstable.

What a fitting way to end our
relationship.

How's Chase?

He's better.

Jordan called. He's been granted a new
trial.

Glad to hear it.

If you don't mind, I've had a long
flight. I need some sleep.

Yeah?

I heard somebody come in.

Who are you?

She showed up here this afternoon.

Sabrina Cross. This is my husband,
Richard Channing.

And this is your son.

Is this your idea of a joke?

It's no joke, Mr.

Channing. Cassandra Wilder, she hired me
during her pregnancy.

I was with her at the hospital at the
time of her birth, and I was also there

when she died.

I didn't believe it at first either.

Would you?

Here's the baby's birth certificate.

His name is Michael.

Just a piece of paper.

I don't want to run a paternity test.

Can't you just let yourself be happy,
Richard?

You've waited months for this.

Oh, shh.

Here.

Here.

Cass swore I'd never lay eyes on him.

She and her brother argued about that
all the time.

Damon thought it was all wrong.

But he was really shook up after she
died.

I guess that didn't stop him from
sending me over here.

Michael Channing.

I like that.

I'll just leave you two alone.

It's been a long time. It's been a long
time since I held a baby in my arms.

Yes, it has.

A long time.

Sheriff, what are you doing here?

Waiting to see you.

How's Chase?

The doctor says not to expect any
miracles.

But he's holding his own.

We're only allowed to see him every few
minutes.

Practically moved into the lobby here.

What's happening with Jeff Wainwright?

Well, the judge wants us to ship him off
to a state hospital for observation.

We'll be taking him out there tomorrow.

Matter of fact, that's why I'm here. I
didn't want you to hear about this in

newspapers.

Wainwright didn't shoot Chase.

What are you talking about? I was there.
I saw him do it.

Wainwright fired a gun, all right, but
apparently he missed. They ran a

ballistics test on the bullet they took
from Chase.

It came from a rifle, not a handgun.

Wait a minute. This doesn't make any
sense at all.

Well, it's got all the markings of a
contract hit.

The shooter took advantage of all the
confusion to gun down Chase and make a

clean getaway.

The San Francisco police have agreed to
post a man here at the hospital in case

someone tries again.

Thank you, Sheriff.

Sorry, Maggie.

I'll come by tomorrow. We've got a lot
of questions that have to be answered if

we can ever figure out who's behind all
this.

But this isn't the kind of news we
should tell Dad.

It would be so good to see Julia again.
She can help us with our wedding plans.

And this time, she won't have to turn
right around and go back to that

I thought Julia liked it up there.

Well, it was certainly better than the
alternative.

What's that?

Prusin.

Richard finally did something right.

That's something you should have done
yourself, Grandmother. I'm not about to

give Richard any credit.

He's up to something.

I'm just... I'm worried about Julia.

Worried about what? She's free.

Not exactly.

She's facing a retrial.

And if she loses, they're not about to
send her back to another convent.

Oh, Charlie, have you heard from Li
Ying?

Not yet, Miss Channing. Perhaps in a day
or two.

Poor Charlie. He's been so sad since he
left.

That guest room's still available.

Of course.

Did Melissa throw you out or did she
finally come to your senses?

You were right about her all along.

Oh, Eric.

I'm so sorry. I know how painful this
must be. Leave the boy alone, Angela.

You've been praying for this for weeks.

Eric, what are you going to do now?

Go right upstairs and call the Royal
Hotel in Monaco?

I'm going to book myself into the
presidential suite and spend the next

weeks baking in the sun.

If you'll excuse me, I want to get a
good night's sleep.

Well, that makes two of us.

Don't look so smug.

Peter, I'm crushed.

Yeah.

Come to bed.

What are you doing here?

How did you get in here?

Well, Eric left in such a hurry, he
forgot to bolt the front door.

Get out of here!

Get out of here before I call the
sheriff!

I thought you might need the company.

You're going to be sorry in the morning.

You really have some nerve, baby, you
know.

You and Angela are responsible for
everything that happened to me.

The construction site.

The memo.

You even forged a bank draft.

Why do you do this to yourself?

Stop inventing villains, Melissa.

Eric came back to Fountaincrest tonight
happy as a clam that he finally wriggled

out from underneath you.

What are you suggesting?

That Eric arranged everything?

He's sneakier than you and I put
together.

Blame it on a case of second thoughts.

But he didn't have the guts to tell you
himself.

That's not true.

I know, Eric.

He didn't waste any time, Melissa.

He walks into Falcon Crest, picks up the
phone, and books himself in the

presidential suite at the Royal Hotel in
Monaco.

What did he say? Three passion -filled
weeks in the company of some young

heiress.

I'd like the Royal Hotel in Monaco, if
there is such a place.

Oh, there is.

Sand, sun, topless beaches.

Everything you could want.

You know, you really are something,
baby.

You haven't changed. You're still
pulling the same old stuff, but this

you're not going to get away with it.

Yes, I just wanted to confirm a
reservation.

The name is Eric Stavros.

Maybe I got the name of the hotel wrong.

You found your way in here.

Find your way back out.

I don't think I've felt this relaxed in
years.

Well, here's to many more evenings like
it.

It's time for me to be going.

Um, I believe that is my line. I'm the
one who's always throwing you out of

here, you know.

I don't want to put any pressure on you.

I think things are moving fast enough as
it is.

In my opinion, things have not been
moving nearly fast enough.

I didn't know we had a crib.

Oh, we didn't. I rousted the owner of
something for baby last night. Paid him

pretty penny to deliver this, didn't I?
Yes, I did.

Well, I've asked Sabrina to stay on.

Help us out with Michael here.

Lucky us.

I've got an 8 o 'clock date at the
Tuscany airport.

Julia Compson's coming in on a charter.

Don't forget to frisk her.

Very funny.

Your husband's a very charming man.

It's easy to see what Cassandra saw in
him.

I certainly hope you don't have anything
more on your mind than babysitting

Sabrina, because that is all you are
going to get to do around here.

I never want to hear from you again. Is
that clear?

How dare you threaten me like that?

You set foot in this country and I'll
bury you myself.

Who is that?

An old friend.

If there's anything I can do for you.
There isn't.

But thank you.

There's something in the air this
morning. It's so heavy. So still. Not

birds are singing.

Well, there's really not much to sing
about.

After what's happened to this family in
the last few days.

Julia! Hello, Charlie.

You look so different.

Well, I went shopping yesterday.

Oh, it's so wonderful to be out of those
drab clothes.

Welcome home, Mom. Thank you, darling.

We didn't expect you to this afternoon.

That's no way to welcome home the
prodigal daughter.

It's wonderful to be home.

We're happy to have you with us. Thank
you, Mother.

After you get settled in, Julia, give me
a call. We'll have lunch. I will.

And thank you, Richard.

Thank you for everything.

Happy homecoming.

We have a code blue in the ICU.

Wheel him down to surgery stat. I'd have
10 units of O negative standing by.

Doctor, what's going on?

He's hemorrhaging.

Maggie. Chase, I can't. I can't. I
can't.

You're going to be fine. You'll be just
fine.

Maggie, promise.

You won't give up what we worked and...

fought for them. No.

No, we'll be together. We'll fight
together as always. Okay. Okay.

Yes, darling. We'll fight together the
way we always have. I promise you,

darling. I promise.

I love you, too.

Go, darling.

About

how

much further we have to go. These
handcuffs are a little tight.

Consider yourself lucky, pal.

We should be taking you to San Quentin,
not some loony bin.

Emma, have you seen Julia? Yeah, she's
out in the winery with Mother and Peter.

Okay, tell her I'm going to meet her
there, all right? Okay.

Uh -oh.

All right, it's all right. Your steps
are a little cramped.

You have no right to hire that sexy
nanny without consulting me first.

What's going on? Don't you dare change
the subject.

Is he alive?

My lucky day.

Who'd have thought an earthquake would
be my salvation?
