All language subtitles for Falcon Crest s08e19 Grand Delusions

Previously on Falcon Crest.

Please.

This might have worked in the past, but
not anymore.

I swear to you, I saw three of those
Falcon Crest deeds.

Melissa always accused Angie of
substituting a phony deed for the real

That deed was forged when Melissa found
it. Why don't you just drop the whole

thing? I have no intention of dropping
it.

Malcolm's offered me 50 % of his
glimbratic stock.

Can you better that offer?

And tonight.

Why would he have somebody pretend to be
Melissa?

Because he was trying to drive me crazy,
can't you see?

What about Miss Ross? I don't want
anyone to see her, especially anyone who

Melissa. Richard is giving me three
million shares of Glumbratic stock.

When you sell yourself, you're not
cheap.

You can use me, Richard.

Don't you understand that you're coming
here to see me like this could cost me

my children?

That was when I discovered Tommy Ortega
in my wife's room.

Uh, Lance.

Grandmother. Where are you?

I'm at Whitney's Grill in San Francisco,
and I want you to come and get me right

away. Okay.

Where have you been?

Well, Richard has gone too far this
time. You know he thinks he's God.

What do you mean?

You'll find out when you get here. Now,
will you please hurry?

Is your grandmother all right?

She's in San Francisco. She wants me to
pick her up.

You want to go?

We're going to go see Gabriel. No, no.
He's coming home from the hospital

tomorrow.

But you know what? Maybe you should go
alone.

Because if something really is wrong,
I'm sure it should be more open for just

you.

Maybe you're right.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Okay. Bye.

I thought Pilar's testimony was supposed
to put this SEC mess to

bed.

Let them subpoena me. I don't care. I
don't want that committee looking at

confidential memos. What do you think
paper shredders are for?

Just don't let anything happen this
week. The custody hearing's been set for

Friday.

Yeah, I'm meeting with a lawyer tonight.

I hope you're right. Since Stratton's
off the case, I need the best divorce

lawyer money can buy.

All right, I gotta go, Larry. Maybe
you'll dream some way to get the SEC off

back.

Well, they had a restaurant, Whitney's
Grill.

It's just a matter of time before Mrs.
Chenning is back at Falcon Crest. And

it's just a matter of time, Garth,
before all the pieces of the puzzle fall

place.

I've got control of the whole valley
now, with the exception of Falcon Crest,

Tuscany Hill, and the Agretti Lands.

I'll get the coal on that.

Glimbratic Winery is ahead of schedule.
Everything is coming off without a

hitch.

What about Miss Ross?

I want you to keep her under
surveillance. I don't want anyone to see

especially anyone who knew Melissa.

Harris came all the way out to the
winery just to see Lance.

Why?

Well, I don't think Lance wanted to buy
a first edition.

So you think Harris forged the deed to
Falcon Crest? Yes.

And I think Angela substituted it for
the real one Melissa had.

You're not going to prove anything
without the deed, and it's long gone by

Remember? Lance knows I saw it.

He's not fool enough to keep it around,
and neither is Angie. So there goes your

proof. Look, Angie would be the first to
destroy any evidence.

People like Angela Channing never think
that they'll get caught.

Or they think they can use everything to
their advantage.

Nick, listen.

In this case, there's more to right and
wrong than a piece of paper.

The Gia Berti's built Falcon Crest.

Don't try and take it away from them.
You think what they did is right?

If they did it. No, I don't think it's
right. But I know how Angie feels about

Falconcrest. And Lance, too. Well, I
might feel the same way. But what if it

wasn't for Melissa?

Listen, Nick.

Melissa was living on the edge for an
awful long time.

Now, whether the strain that Angie put
on her pushed her over that edge, I

know.

But it's not enough to turn suicide into
murder.

Let it go, buddy.

This valley's big enough for the
Giabertis and the Agretis.

Let's have a little peace around here
for a change.

It would be a lot better if you fired
Tommy before the hearing. No, I don't

to do that, Cynthia. Besides, it would
look as if I'm guilty, and I'm not.

Richard's going to try to use him
against you. Well, he won't get away

Yeah, I think we can use this thing with
Ortega.

Now, what about you, Mr. Channing? Any
skeletons in the closet?

Or under the bed?

I've probably got more skeletons around
than the local cemetery.

Right now, I'm under investigation by
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

No, I wouldn't worry about that. Not in
a custody hearing.

In this country, you're innocent until
you prove guilty.

That's right.

Unless you're sleeping around.

If he was under indictment by Friday,
we'd have him, but I'm afraid the SEC

doesn't work that fast.

Well, what are our chances without it?

A good chance for joint custody.

Absolutely not. I'm not giving my
children up to anybody. Besides, I want

back.

As long as I've got the children, I've
got a hold on her.

No, he can visit the children as often
as he wants, but I don't want him to

that kind of control over them.

Cynthia, the man has no conscience.

I don't want him to have that kind of
influence over my children.

I brought you a peace offering.

You know what you can do with those,
don't you?

Put them in water?

I had a deal with you, Pilar.

I was counting on you to testify against
Richard.

Hell, the SEC might not even send down
an indictment now.

Look, I've got a plane to catch. Get out
of here before I really lose my temper.

Malcolm, don't you want to know why I
changed my testimony?

Hmm?

All right, I'm listening.

I made a deal with Richard.

In return for not testifying against
him, he's giving me a block of

stock big enough to earn me a seat on
the board of directors.

Great. Now Richard's got another vote on
the board.

No, he doesn't.

Because I'm going to help you and Angela
get back control of Glumbratic.

I don't believe you.

Malcolm, Richard wants to destroy the
valley. Well, I want to save it.

Oh, that sounds good.

But that's not enough.

All right.

Then let me give you a reason you might
understand.

You see, Richard doesn't need me to
control Glumbratic.

But Angela does.

And I want her on my side.

I don't want her trying to come between
Lance and me.

Well, do you believe me?

Well, let's just say that I will never
turn my back on you again. But I want

your stock voted my way.

So when and if Angela ever gets back,
Call me.

You better stop packing.

Because Angela is in San Francisco.

And Lance is on his way to pick her up.
Right now.

You seem to have made a quick recovery.

Well, if perhaps I wasn't really ill.

I'd better go.

Sit down, Melissa.

Or whatever your name is.

I don't know what you mean.

I know that Melissa is dead, and you are
in a lot of trouble.

I could call Richard and let him know
where you are.

Oh, but you wouldn't want to cause a
scene in a place like this, would you,

have him call the police?

What do you intend to do?

To you?

Nothing.

But Richard is going to have to pay for
what he's done.

I don't think Richard will like that.
Well, I don't care whether he likes it

not.

But I will see to it that there are no
criminal charges against you.

I don't have much of a choice, do I?

If I don't help you, I could go to jail.

Well, you're nothing like Melissa.

You're too rational.

Oh, there's my grandson.

Come along.

Grandmother. Lance, I have a surprise
for you. What?

Richard has finally raised the dead.
What are you talking about?

Well... Grandmother?

No wonder he wanted me locked up.

I didn't know he could move so fast.

He pushed his plans through at the last
Glenn Braddock board meeting.

Without you there, Malcolm didn't have
enough support to stop him.

But kidnapping, I don't know, it's hard
for me to believe that Richard would go

that far, even to gain control of Glenn
Braddock.

And why would he have somebody pretend
to be Melissa?

Because he was trying to drive me crazy,
can't you see?

Richard's crazy to believe you could be
fooled.

Oh, he thinks he can always have his
way.

I'm going to drive over to the Heller
Vineyard.

If there's anything left of it, I'm
going to see this monstrosity he's

You know, guys, maybe she's using this
story to hide where she really was and

incriminate Richard at the same time.
Either that or Angie's very disturbed.

You're a very special lady, and I owe
you a lot.

Now you'd like to get rid of me? No.

No, of course not.

I would like you to lay low for a while.

There could be real trouble if someone
recognizes you.

A lot of people in San Francisco knew
Melissa.

I'm being very careful. I wear these
dark glasses and this hat, and I look

mysterious. Oh, I know.

I just think...

It would be safer for both of us if you
went away for a while. How about a

vacation? Europe, the Far East. Where
would you like to go?

I don't want to leave, Richard.

I know.

I just think you should for a while.

I've enjoyed working with you, helping
you, being part of your plans.

You can use me, Richard. Let me show you
just how much I can do for you.

Never try and sue anybody in a Colombian
court. You know what those lawyers told

me? Take a year.

How'd it go with you? Did you see
Harris?

Yeah, tried to talk him into admitting
that he forged the deed.

Did he?

No, he denied it.

And then he told me to get out.

Now's not a very good time for this,
Nick. There's something funny going on

Angela. And I can't figure out what it
is.

She goes up to something.

Yeah, but this is different somehow.

I'm really worried about it.

Very worried.

Well, you were worried when she was
missing last time she turned up again,

didn't you?

Tommy, Gabrielle's here.

Careful.

All right.

I can do it. Sure.

Where's Tommy?

He must be out back somewhere.

Tommy!

And I can't stand being stuck in a chair
all the time.

You're going to be well soon, Gabriel.

You don't get well from epilepsy.

Don't talk like that.

The doctor said that medication can
control the seizures.

Here, take this.

You're going to be playing basketball
just as soon as that leg of yours is

stronger.

Why bother?

I need a scholarship if I'm not going to
college.

Oh, you're going to college. Believe me,
I'll see to that.

Why bother? I can't be a doctor anymore.

Not a surgeon, anyway.

That's what I wanted, to be an
orthopedic surgeon. Of course you can.

Gabrielle, you can be anything you want
to be.

Hey, come on.

You're not the only teenager who's ever
had a problem, you know.

Believe me, I know what it's like.

It's like you've run into this wall, and
no matter how hard you try, you can't

climb over it.

You can't even see what's on the other
side.

Maybe there's nothing there.

Mm -mm.

The rest of your life is there.

And all you have to do to get to it is
find a door in that wall.

And be in real pain, right?

Yes.

But you're certainly entitled to it.

Well, I can't find him.

He was going to be here.

Well, maybe he had something to do with
the newspaper. You know, something

really important.

Maggie. Tommy.

What are you doing here? I told you, I
don't want to see you outside of the

office. It's about the hospital and the
negligence case.

I've been talking to some of the nurses.

What about it?

You think we could maybe go somewhere
else and talk?

What?

I don't know, maybe go for some lunch or
something.

Tommy, I thought you wanted to talk to
me about the story.

I just wanted to talk to you.

Like friends. Look, don't you...

That you're coming here to see me like
this could cost me my children.

Richard will use whatever he can in this
custody case. I would never do anything

to hurt you.

All right.

If you care about me, Tommy, then please
stay away.

I don't even have to deny a cockamamie
story like that. Come on now, Lance. You

don't believe it, do you? Angela swears
it's true.

Oh, well, her mother never told a lie.
Come on, Lance.

Stop being loyal and start thinking. You
know the kind of tricks Angela can

play. This is no trick. Oh.

Houdini couldn't do better.

Let her prove it.

All right, then let her prove it.

If she's going to make these crazy
accusations, then let her make them to

face. you won't get away with what
you're trying to do to the valley, and

won't get away with what you've done to
me. Now, look, I didn't come here to be

threatened. Now, why don't you just
admit what you were up to in Greece and

trying to hide behind this ridiculous
kidnap story?

I was never in Greece, and you know it.
Lance, you were trying to track her

down. Was she in Greece or not?

I called the State Department. They
checked with the Greek authorities.

They said you had been in the country.

Ah.

Well, that's ridiculous.

Angie, what about your passport?

They would have had to stamp it if you
went through customs.

That's right, Frank, and I've had it
with me all the time.

What?

Well, it's a trick. That's what it is.

Stamp by Greek customs at Athens Airport
in and out.

Of course.

The dates coincide with when Angie
disappeared and when he got back.

I was locked in the penthouse of the New
Globe. Oh, yes, and I'm sure you can

describe it perfectly.

Of course I can. Well, you should be
able to. You used to own the place, used

to. That whole floor was always for
office space when Douglas Channing owned

Now, wait a minute, Richard.

Angie, can you describe it right now?

I certainly can.

So why don't you come with me, and then
you'll know I'm telling the truth.

Admit it, Garth, you put on a wig and
pretended you were Melissa.

You better laugh while you can, Richard.

This place is exactly as I said it was.

This floor's been empty for almost a
year.

Now, why don't you tell us where you
really were?

I knew that he would redecorate those
rooms the minute I escaped.

I suppose he also spread a year's worth
of dust on everything to make it look

convincing. That's exactly what he did.
Grandmother, I know you have a reason

for telling me the story. Why can't you
trust me enough to tell me what it is?

Why can't you trust me, Lance?

You okay?

He doesn't believe me.

None of them believe me.

I think even Shaoli is trying to humor
me.

Yeah, well, you know... It is kind of a
hard story to swallow.

And you don't believe me either.

Angie, I certainly don't think you're
lying. You think I imagined this whole

thing?

I'll tell you what I do think.

I think you should get some rest. Oh.

I'll call you later.

Hi, Frank.

Hi, Pilar.

Angela. Yeah?

I'm on my way to see Richard.

Well, if he kidnaps you, don't tell
anybody.

You know, I used to be afraid of
Richard.

I even believed he might try to hurt
Lisa if I didn't do what he asked.

But I'm not afraid of him anymore.

But you should be. He's a very dangerous
man.

Angela. Richard is giving me three
million shares of Glumbratic stock just

not testifying against him before the
SEC.

You mean you could have testified
against him and put him in jail and you

didn't? He may be indicted even without
my testimony.

But the important thing was to get the
stock.

Well, I must say when you sell yourself,
you're not cheap.

Don't you see?

Once I'm on the board, I can help you
get control of Glumbratic.

Malcolm Sinclair is in town.

And he'll stay just as long as it takes
for us to plan our next move.

My dear.

That is the best news I've heard in a
long time.

Good. Well, I guess I should be going
then.

Pinar, I would like to meet Lisa.

Do you suppose that you could bring her
to Falcon Crest one day?

Well, I'll talk to Lance about it. All
right. I'll see you later. Bye.

Bye.

You know, Richard.

Huh? I have expected you to try to ease
a lot of this deal. Oh, I never back out

of a bargain.

Besides, the way you had this agreement
drawn up, there was no way I could get

out of it.

Thank you. You've got a real head for
business, Pilar. We can use you on the

Glembratic board.

And I'm looking forward to it, Richard.
I'll see you later.

I don't think you'll enjoy it too much.

What do you mean by that?

Only if you're thinking of proposing me
on the board.

You better think again.

When your good friend, Mr. Sinclair,
checked into the spa, I had Garth make a

few adjustments to his room.

Study that deposition carefully.

It's what I told the SEC in Washington,
and you have to tell the same story.

I'll commit it to memory.

I have a good one, you know.

So important.

If you can convince the committee... If
there was a secret agreement linking

Richard to Troilus, we can nail him.

Lamar, don't worry.

I made a deal with the SEC.

You and I won't be prosecuted if we
testify.

Richard is going to take the rap on this
one.

Now, from the sound of this, I would
think that you and St. Clair have gotten

together and trumped up all this SEC
mess in order to blackmail me.

Blackmail you?

Now, why would anyone believe that,
Richard?

Because you're holding the evidence in
your hand, honey.

What else would make me give you three
million shares of Lembradic stock?

Huh? My generous nature?

No.

All right, guys, so what are we going to
put on the top of it?

A tower line.

Make it real kind of steady there. Okay.

Well, I don't know if we have enough...
Telephone, Mrs. Channing. It's Tommy

Ortega.

Oh. Well, tell him I'll call him back,
okay?

He said it was real urgent.

All right.

Okay, you gather up what we have left
for the tower. I'll be right with you.

Hi, Tommy. What is it?

Maggie, I've been called to testify at
the custody hearing.

Well, I'm not surprised.

But what can they use? Nothing happened.

I know, but Rich is not concerned about
the truth.

It's just what he can get the judge to
believe.

No, Kevin, don't knock it down. Let
Mommy do it.

All right, Michael, I'll be right there.

Maggie, I'll tell him whatever you want
me to.

Tell the truth, Tommy. That's all either
one of us can do.

Mommy's going to knock it down.

All right, Michael, I'll be right with
you.

Kevin's going to knock it down.

Kevin, don't knock it down. I'll be
right with you. Michael, I will be right

with you. Just, uh, Tommy, can I call
you back?

Okay. I'll catch up with you later.
Fine.

Now, Michael, you know better than to
interrupt Mommy on the telephone. Now,

come on, let's... You came here to see
me! I know I did, but you don't have to

scream. I... Oh, Michael! All right,
stop it. That is enough. Go to your

Please, just...

What's

wrong with you?

Nothing, ma 'am. I'm all right.

Why don't you get started with your
homework?

Later, okay, Pop?

You're going back to school. You don't
want to get behind.

Stop worrying about me. I'm going to
handle everything just fine.

Hey, what do you think? It's going to
get any easier if you keep putting it

Well, you're one to talk. You never did
any homework in your life.

Yeah, well, maybe I'd be better off if I
had.

He's having a seizure.

He'll be all right.

He'll be all right, son.

He'll be all right.

I think Lisa coming to visit is just
what grandmother needs.

I don't think my Aunt Mercedes will
agree.

It's just for a couple of days, honey.
And you can tell Mercedes that. Besides,

meeting Lisa will get grandmother's mind
off of Richard and what he's doing in

the valley and this thing she's got with
Melissa.

Lance, do you think your grandmother
blames herself for Melissa's suicide?

I don't know. I think sometimes it preys
on her mind.

Enough to make her imagine that
Melissa's still alive?

No. No, that's crazy.

Look, why don't you call Mercedes and
arrange to have Lisa come over this

weekend, okay? We can drive down
together and pick her up.

All right, I'll call, okay?

Okay.

Hello? Tia, it's Pilar. How are you?

Oh, fine, Kitty. We're all fine.

I spoke to Gabrielle yesterday.

He sounds like he's handling everything
very well. Yeah, he's doing just fine.

Lance and I want Lisa to spend the
weekend with us.

Now, I know she doesn't have school on
Friday, so we could pick her up then.

No.

Tia, it's just the weekend.

This time. But what about next time?

You have to get Lance to sign those
adoption papers.

He won't do it, not now.

Tia, please, just give me some time to
work things out, okay? Trust me.

I wish I could, Pilar.

I'll see you on Friday.

Bye.

Bye, Pilar.

How you doing, buddy?

Okay.

Frank? Grab a chair. Watch the game with
me.

So now I've got an idea.

Yeah?

It's a long shot, but... It just may
prove that Harris forged that deed for

Angela.

You're still at it, huh?

Damn right.

It's not gonna bring Melissa back.

It's not gonna bring Anna back, either.

What's Anna got to do with this? I know
you're still trying to deal with her

death.

But if you're using this business with a
deed to keep from thinking about her,

it's not gonna work.

Putting off grief doesn't make it any
easier to deal with. You gotta face it.

I need your help, Frank.

You got my help, buddy.

But if we don't find any evidence
against Angie, that's the end of it.

gonna drop the whole thing, right?

You see?

I'm right.

Nobody believes a word my mother says.

Well, then, sir, it seems as if your
plan will work.

Of course it'll work, with Judge
Stratton's help.

Ah.

Yes?

I feel neglected, Richard.

I want to see you.

Oh, Samantha.

I've got a meeting with my lawyer
tonight.

I've got a custody hearing coming up,
and I've only got a couple of days to

prepare.

I want to see you, Richard.

If you can't come over here, then I'll
just have to go to your office.

All right, Samantha.

I'll be right over.

I don't play games.

What do you mean?

You know damn well what I mean. There
are people at the New Globe who knew

Melissa. I cannot take the chance of any
of them seeing you, and you know that.

I know how to be careful, Richard.

Samantha, if anyone connected with
Angela ever sees you, the trouble that

causes me will be nothing compared to
what happens to you.

I'm sorry, Richard. I just wanted to see
you.

I'd hate to do anything to jeopardize
your plans.

By accident.

Don't threaten me.

Or what?

I don't like it.

It won't do any good to schedule another
board meeting.

Richard has recordings of some of our
meetings, Malcolm.

And on the tapes, it sounds as if we
concocted everything the SEC is

investigating, just so we can extort
money from Richard.

Well, I don't think anybody's going to
believe that.

But Richard will say the stock he gave
him was a blackmail payoff.

Well, that's crazy.

Yet it makes sense. I mean, it's
plausible enough to go all the way to

And while we're fighting it, Richard
goes through with his plans for Tuscany

Valley. What about the SEC hearings?

I mean, isn't there still a chance that
he can be indicted?

It could happen, even without your
testimony.

But can we afford to wait for the SEC?

I mean, even if Richard is indicted,
there's no guarantee he'll be convicted.

Well, all you have to do is prove that I
was kidnapped.

I'll bring charges, and he'll have to do
what we say.

Let's be honest here.

If you're going to try to discredit
Richard, you'll have to make up a story

believable than that.

What do you mean?

Well, at least drop the part about the
walking dead. What was her name,

Melissa.

Well, if you don't trust me and you
don't believe me, there's no reason for

meeting.

I thank you for dinner.

I'm going back to Chicago.

You know where to reach me when you're
ready to talk sense.

Grandmother, please.

I've got a phone call to make.

Lance, what is your grandmother up to?

I wish I knew.

Hello, Kenneth. This is Angela.

I want you to have Richard Channing
followed.

Yes.

Because he is going to lead me to a dead
woman.

And to the truth.

Lance, Mercedes may ask you to sign the
adoption papers.

Honey, Lisa is our daughter. She belongs
to Falcon Crest with us.

I know she doesn't.

But when you see her with Steve and
Mercedes, then you'll realize that it's

going to be so easy to convince her to
leave them.

There's a note for you.

Dear Pilar, I tried to call you but
you'd already left.

Steve's mother is very sick and we had
to leave the portal.

That's great.

All right, Dad.

Okay, I'll talk to you later.

Bye. What'd he say?

He hasn't heard from Mercedes and he
doesn't know where Steve's mother lives.

Damn! Now, I'm sure they'll only be gone
for a few weeks, Lance.

Mercedes would never keep Lisa out of
school that long.

You know, they had no right to take Lisa
out of the country without asking us

permission first.

Lance, Steve and Mercedes have been
taking care of Lisa for eight years.

They never asked for my permission
before, so why would they ask for it

Especially with Steve's mother being so
thick.

But she is sick.

Come on, she's been sick for months.

This isn't something they just made up.

Don't you think it's awfully convenient
that on the weekend we want to spend

with Lisa, Steve's mother suddenly gets
sick?

What are you saying?

They've taken her and run away?

Yeah, exactly.

You sound just like your grandmother.

Angry and suspicious.

Oh, Lance, come on. Why can't we give
Mercedes and Steve the benefit of the

doubt, huh?

I'm going to hire a detective, Pilar. I
want to know where our daughter is.

Lance, wait a minute. Come on, you're
being impossible.

I'm sure we'll be hearing from them
soon.

Well, what if we don't?

Then we'll think of hiring a detective,
okay?

Honey, how can you be so calm with all
this going on?

Because I know Lisa loves them.

And I know they would never do anything
to hurt her.

But I'm not so sure about us, Lance.

I think we can hurt Lisa a lot if we're
not careful.

Now, wait a minute.

Whatever happens, I promise you I'm not
going to hurt Lisa.

Let's go.

Well, if I'd known you were coming, I
would have ordered something for you.

Well, thank you, Judge. I was just on my
way to the custody hearing. I've got a

favor to ask of you in return for past
and future help.

Well, that motion your wife's lawyer
filed did more than remove me from the

case. I'm not even supposed to talk to
the judge. It replaced me.

I can't even put in a good word for you.
Well, this doesn't concern my children.

It's about my mother.

I'd really like to, but I really can't.

All right.

You and I will meet again.

Destiny.

Hey.

Hey.

Isn't this too little obvious?

Sometimes things are so obvious, nobody
sees them.

Garth!

What are you doing?

Do you know anything about breaking and
entering?

Actually, no.

Stick with your old dad.

You've been following me, haven't you?

Why would I want to follow you?

You know, I wouldn't do this if there
were any other way to find the truth.

Were you trying to convince me or you?

Shelby?

Can you explain, Mrs. Channing, in your
own words, why you're seeking sole

custody of your children?

Looks like they've decided not to put
your mother on the stand. Well, I

that Richard... She wouldn't make a very
credible witness.

It's dangerous to be loved by a man like
Richard. What do you mean, dangerous?

Well, he's put our lives at risk with
his ruthless

pursuit of money and power.

Can you give an example of this?

Yes, I can. His involvement with the 13,
which was an international

conglomerate. Well, actually a
conspiracy.

Your Honor, is there an accusation of
criminal activity being made against Mr.

Channing? Your Honor, we admit that Mr.
Channing has never been convicted of a

crime.

Mrs. Channing, for your own sake, I
suggest that you refrain from making

unfounded accusations.

You about ready to give up?

Look familiar?

It's Falcon Chris' phone number.

Let's keep looking.

And you actually treated Maggie Channing
when she was recovering from her

dependence on alcohol?

Yes, I did.

Now, despite the suggestions of Mr.
Channing's attorney, would you say that

Maggie's problem is now a thing of the
past?

I would say that Mrs. Channing has made
a complete recovery.

Thank you.

I have no further questions.

As a psychiatrist, can you say with
certainty that Mrs. Channing will not

develop a similar dependency on alcohol
in the future?

Well, no, not with absolute certainty.

Thank you.

Luck gonna make you curious, isn't it?

Good about Pete. Hey, it was good to
have something to fall back on, isn't

What is it?

Copies of the deed to Falcon Crest.

It must be the trial copies.

Practice for the forgery.

Is this proof enough for you?

Did I write about Angela?

Oh, Angie.

As I told Miss Wallace, I think Maggie
Channing is one of the finest human

beings I have ever known.

And a good newspaper woman.

Dedicated to her work.

Yes.

She works harder than anybody at the
Herald.

Long hours, nights, and weekends?

Yes.

Sometimes. Doesn't leave much time for
her children, does it?

No, I wouldn't say that exactly.

Does she ever stay after hours with a
young man named Tommy Ortega?

But you love Mrs. Channing.

Do I have to answer that?

You wouldn't do anything to hurt her,
would you? No. In fact, you'd even lie

her, wouldn't you?

Objection.

Abstained.

because my mommy went away.

Do you know why she went away, Michael?

Your Honor. Counselor, please, I want to
hear this.

Now, Michael, tell me, why do you think
your mommy left?

Because she doesn't love us anymore.

That was when I discovered Tommy Ortega
in my wife's... room

and what did you do nothing i left i uh

i think i was more disappointed than
anything i was i

still am trying to understand why my
wife left me and my children

and then uh i don't know i think to find
out that it was

over

Well, it was a shock.

And you're still willing to seek
reconciliation?

That's all I've ever wanted.

The only thing... I don't care what
Maggie has done.

The only thing I want is for her to come
home.

For the sake of my children.

And for Maggie and me, too.

The only thing I...

The only thing I want is to keep my
family together.

Decisions in custody cases are never
easy.

To reach a determination in this case, I
have discounted the opinions of the

witnesses on both sides and relied
solely on the facts of the situation.

on these facts...

I have decided that the interests of
both Kevin and Michael will best be

if they remain in the custody of their
father, Richard Channing.

Congratulations, Richard.

Are you Angela Channing?

Yes. Who are you?

I'm Dr.

Frazier Preston, a state mental health
officer. You are not under criminal

arrest, but we have been directed by
Judge Timothy Stratton to take you to

state hospital in San Francisco for a
psychiatric evaluation.

In three weeks on Falcon Crab. Keep your
hands off of me. Why don't you keep

your hands off of me?

Richard's responsible for this? He
requested Mrs. Channing be held for

evaluation. I don't hate James.

I love him.

And I hate myself for that.

Did she or did she not say that she saw
Melissa?

Ben, I just want you to behave
responsibly. I don't need a lecture. I

to handle myself, okay?

I have a job for you, Mr. Harris.

Tell me about it. When he delivers us,
forgers will nail him. I think I saw

Melissa today. In San Francisco, I think
I saw the woman the grandmother's been

talking about.

You will never get Falcon Crest.

I'll kill myself first.

Or you.
