Original subtitles

Previously on Falcon Crest.

Miss Channing slipped into a coma last night. We ever hook up to a life support

system, we'll be watching her very, very carefully.

Where's the damn backup?

They got a heartbeat.

I didn't take you away from your mom and dad.

Someone else made that decision.

Give them to me, or so help me God, I'll rip your lungs out with my bare hands.

You do what you have to do.

Can I help you?

I doubt it.

Senor O 'Grady's not home. Is he expecting you?

My guess is no.

He may not be back for some time. Oh, that's all right.

I'm not in a hurry.

Careful, it wrinkles.

I'm afraid I must ask you to leave at once.

I'd like to be alone now.

I've had a long trip and I'm tired.

Oh, also, I'd like a club soda with ice and some lime.

Go.

Go away.

Honey, I'm home.

I'm sorry.

The board went over everything carefully.

The financial condition of the winery is too precarious for us. Wait a minute.

Vogel already signed.

If you don't believe me, call him yourself.

Vogel's not the problem.

If my grandmother were here...

You'd give her the loan in two seconds flat, wouldn't you?

Angela was here, and we turned her down. That's what I'm trying to tell you. I

don't believe you.

She never told me anything about it. I'm not in the habit of lying to customers.

Look, you can't yank our line of credit after all these years.

If you want somebody to ride shotgun with us for a while, just for a little

while, that's fine.

But let's sign.

I've got a business to run. So do I, and Falcon Crest has simply become too much

of a risk.

I'm sorry, we're calling the loan.

That note is due on Friday.

Where am I going to find $20 million in three days?

It's the same grapes, the same wine, the same bottles.

There's no reason for you not to loan me that money.

For you, Michael.

George Beaker at Tuck Bank.

Hold on a second, I want to see this.

Meet me?

Yeah. Who's this?

It's Beaker.

Hey, George, how's the money?

I pulled up from Crest's line of credit, as you suggested.

Well, I'll be sending a lot of foreign business your way then. Better learn to

speak Korean.

Leave a message for Lance Compson up in Tuscany Valley. Let him call back a few

times. Keep him hanging. I'll talk to him after the board meeting later today.

Let's buy something.

We can't, Michael. We're frozen.

Then let's sell something.

We're frozen, Michael.

We can't.

Want to bet?

And that's the executive room closet.

You obviously found your parking space.

I picked it.

Here's the kitchen.

The bathroom is right over here. And your new office is right around the

Forrest, say hello to Richard Channing. Richard, this is Forrest Murdy, our

founding partner.

I'm only going to say this once, Channing, so I hope you're paying

We do things by the book around here. We don't lie, we don't cheat, and we don't

steal.

I know this may seem like a novel approach to you, but that's the way we

business. I'll try to get used to it. Skip the wisecracks.

You know, not many people get a second chance in life, and you can thank Jace

for yours.

By the way, there's a staff meeting at 10 o 'clock this morning.

Don't miss it.

So far... Everyone's containing their enthusiasm pretty well.

Well, your reputation makes people nervous.

They'll come around.

Once they see how you think.

Nice. Oh, come on.

Your private shower in your old office was bigger than this. But golly, it's

best we can do.

The phone system's primitive. We're working on it. Oh, sorry about the

lot view.

I tried for the north side, but... Jason, my old office had iron bars and a

toilet in the middle of the floor.

Thank you.

It's been a hell of a stretch, Richard.

Maggie, your mother, the kids.

Any word on them?

Oh, my lawyer's working on it.

He told me to lay low.

Not make things worse.

I'll be back on top.

Next time, I'll take what's mine and keep it.

I'm afraid there's more bad news.

Huh. Word's out this morning.

Tuscany Bank pulled the plug on Falcon Crest. They're going to take it over by

the end of the week.

What do they want with Falcon Crest? What is a bank going to do with a

Mr. Channing, you have a call on line one.

You hear five minutes, the calls are coming in. I knew this was a good move.

I'm going to have to miss this meeting.

Well,

he lasted ten minutes without screwing up.

That's nine more than I expected.

Gentlemen, good morning.

Richard Channing. Yes.

Are you the one who called?

Yes.

Sit down.

Thank you.

Do you have my children?

Your children are being well taken care of.

They're fine.

That's not what I asked you. I asked you, do you have my children?

How do you know they're doing fine?

Now, look, lady, why did you call?

If it's appropriate, maybe I can arrange for you to see the children.

I have to audition to see my own children?

Mr. Channing, why did the courts take them away from you? I don't know.

But do you have any idea what it's like to lose your children?

This was an mistake. Goodbye, Mr. Channing. Now, wait a minute. Please,

I'm sorry. Let's start over again, all right?

I don't have any idea what your connection to my children is, but I

your going to the trouble of finding me.

I love my children very much, more than my life.

I'll do anything to get them back.

Can you help me?

I don't know.

I'll see what I can do.

Oh, wait a minute, please.

Look.

I'm desperate.

I'll be in touch.

Luisa? Where is she?

Is she here?

Hi, Frank.

If I didn't know better, I'd think you almost weren't glad to see me.

What in the name of God are you doing here?

I do very little in the name of God.

After all, Frank, you used to be my brother -in -law.

With all those happy family memories, how could I stay away?

What are you doing here?

Get my back, will you, Frank?

Don't look at me like that.

I've missed you.

You must be out of your mind to come here.

Charlie, I still can't understand why you're so insistent about this.

Look, I want you to be protected.

I've seen these situations before. When there's this kind of money on the line,

the family starts circling like sharks.

My family is not like that.

Of course not.

This is just you and a lawyer making sure your rights are protected.

Maybe you're right.

I guess I still can't face the fact that my mother is in a coma.

Kiss, kiss.

Ciao.

Hey, Charlie, man, where are you going? Mind if I tag along?

I have shopping to do.

I don't think you'd be interested.

Oh, you're probably right. Well, I'll just hitch a ride then, shall I?

Old buddy, chop -chop, we've got a lot to do today. Old one, but not.

Well,

hello.

Hello. Hi.

What is that shirt? 90 % rayon, 10 % crayon?

I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse me. I'm part of the idol rich. We don't know

any better.

What, uh, what exactly goes on in this place? I mean... Not much.

Ever ride in a limo? I did.

When?

The Van Halen concert.

Oh, when did you go to the Van Halen concert? With Becky and Susie and Jill.

she's flying. She's flying.

Remember the night that... Before I agree to let you ride in this obscenely

expensive limousine, what's your name?

I'm Julie. She's Sandy. Hi. Hi. Hi, Julie. Hi, Sandy.

Let's party.

All right. What about your chauffeur? Oh, don't worry about him.

He's easy to please.

Oh, okay.

Wow. You live here?

Part of the year.

I've got another place in the Virgin Islands.

Birds, you two went there and they wouldn't let you off the boat.

Oh, come on. Now that's virgin on the ridiculous.

Huh?

Yeah, well.

Listen to this man sing.

What is that?

This?

This is the voice of heaven itself.

Can't you hear it resonating through my very soul?

See this painting?

That's an original Monet.

Really?

Did you paint it yourself?

Yeah, with a toothbrush.

Can't you see that perfectly priceless piece of porcelain?

How

much

was it worth?

Get your... Oh, you want to fight, dear? You want to fight?

You want to fight?

Gotcha!

Nice earrings.

Nice little ears.

What are you doing in there?

Call the police right now. Just do it. They're in there. Who?

Didn't you look downstairs? Man, they're ripping this place off.

I don't know what you think you're pulling, but you're not fooling anybody.

You stay out of my grandmother's room.

Mike, there's a court order pleasing your assets. Sure to see a Channing's

mouth. The point is, you can't raise $20 million right now.

The billion -dollar man can't even scrape together some loose change?

Here we are to forget about Falcon. That's what I've been trying to tell

You ever get tired of being wrong?

I am short two million shares on Overdive.

You mean you sold two million shares short?

That's right, Ed.

See, all my assets are frozen, so I borrowed two million shares from

else and sold them.

Soon I'll buy them back at a lower price, I'll return them to the owner,

I'll keep all the profits. Am I going too fast for you here? No, I know what

selling short is, Michael.

But if those stocks go up instead of down, you're dead.

How can it go up with all those wicked rumors floating around?

You planted rumors?

How can you do something like this in the middle of an SEC investigation?

Three days ago, that stock sold at 31. Every time it drops a point, I am $2

million richer.

Or will be when I buy it back.

Why do you want to do this, Michael?

That's a good company.

Now it'll be taken over, broken up. Well, with just a few phone calls, I

$20 million out of thin air and pick Falcon Crest like a ripe apple. But

no guarantee that Compson's going to come back to you for the money. He

got a choice.

Besides, if he doesn't, I'll buy it from the bank.

Hey, hey.

Come on in.

I was nearby and I thought I would stop in and say hello.

Great.

Hey,

everybody. I want you to meet my sister, Lauren.

How you doing?

This one here doesn't buy on the fundamentals or the charts. She buys

she likes the product.

Oh, no.

I don't buy stocks, silly.

So what do you think?

It looks like you.

Michael, can we talk?

Yeah, sure.

I saw Richard Channing.

What the hell for?

Michael, he really seems to care about the children.

Wait, wait, wait.

Before you start buying this guy's act, let me tell you a few things about

Richard Channing.

He had his own mother kidnapped last year, and then he had her committed to

loony bin. He almost killed a guy in prison, not to mention what he was in

prison for, and who knows what else.

Now, you may not think he's a bad guy, but I wouldn't want him near my kids.

I told Walker you and I had reconciled.

We have, haven't we?

Seeing you again the other day was the best thing that's happened to me in

years. I mean that.

I have a great idea.

Why don't you come over this weekend?

See, Walker, meet the children and we can have a barbecue.

Do you know how good that sounds to me?

Listen, I'll call you Friday.

See if I can break away. Things are really bending around here.

Okay, Ed.

Diggy, you finished that Overdine report yet?

Murty needs it by 3 o 'clock. Oh, Murty knows what he can do. Look, Jase, you

know, I wake up every morning wondering where my kids are. You think I'm going

to sit at the desk worrying about Overdine stock?

Yeah, you're damn right I do.

Diggy, you want your kids back? You want them back?

You need a job, money, a home to bring them back to.

And if that means sitting at this desk ten hours a day writing reports, then

that's what you do.

Yeah.

What's the problem?

They thought it was a good company.

Put a lot of clients into it.

Couple days ago. The price takes a big plunge. We can't figure it out.

And Murty wants some answers.

Over dine.

Hang on.

There was an article in the journal the other day. Labor problem.

Pretty vicious rumors flying all over the place.

Management says they're lies.

There's been some short selling, too.

Michael Sharp.

Behind this? No way.

He's under investigation. He's frozen.

Which is exactly why he pulls something like this. In order to raise some money.

He's got my kids. Now he wants the only other thing I care anything about.

Falcon Crest.

Sharp is trashing Overdime.

To generate cash to buy Falcon Crest.

Over my dead body.

talk to you about Overdine.

I'll come right in.

Listen, Michael Sharp planted rumors about the company and shorted the stock.

How do you know that?

How do I know that? I know how he operates. I taught him. No, no, no.

under indictment by the SEC.

His assets are frozen.

He wouldn't take the chance.

Unless?

Unless he had to get his hands on some cash.

Jackpot! My problem is to buy up every share of Overdine stock we can get our

hands on, and we've got to do it fast. You know something that sounds personal,

so I'll tell you what.

You and Sharp carry on your war on somebody else's turf, not on mine. All

fine, whatever you say, just so you know this, all right?

If we pull this deal off, the net worth of this company triples in 24 hours.

I've been everywhere.

Every bank, every savings and loan, no luck.

Bank is golden rule, buddy. Never lend money to anybody who really needs it.

Forget that, pal.

I mean, really.

I hate to come here hat in hand, but Falcon Crest is about to go under.

Me?

Oh, jeez, Lance, I haven't got that kind of money. Not the kind of money you

need. Not even close.

Grandmother must have known about this. I mean, why didn't she tell me? She

always thinks she can do everything by herself. That's her great strength.

Or a great weakness, I guess.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Just a little business. We'll be through in a minute.

Aren't you going to introduce me?

Ha.

Lance, this is Janelle Erickson.

She's my sister -in -law.

Pleased to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Lance.

You all right? Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry.

Let's have a real drink. What do you have? I can't stay. I wish I could. Come

on, have a belt.

Take a rain check.

Okay, yeah.

Frank. Yeah. You okay?

Fine.

See ya.

I hope you don't cut yourself.

How's the lip?

The lip's all right.

You're still angry.

I'm sorry, Frank.

You never rejected me before.

You were stupid.

Look, what do you want?

How long are you going to be here?

What do you think I want?

What do you think I've always wanted?

What happened before happened.

We can't be together again.

Why not?

Because the past is dead.

Let's leave it that way.

Interesting choice of words.

You. Okay.

Let's change the subject.

Who's the young man?

What? He's a friend of mine.

Angela Channing's grandson.

Why are you doing this, Frank?

Talk to me.

What does Lance want?

He came to me for advice.

Is he in charge now?

What are you talking about? Falcon Crest?

Yes, why?

You're Angela Channing's husband.

What?

What are you feeling?

You're right, Frank.

We shouldn't sleep together anymore.

Like you said, the past is dead.

Honey, why do you suppose Michael Sharp is calling me all of a sudden?

I don't know.

The business community certainly is a small town.

Lance, the bank doesn't want to run Falcon Crest, so someone's going to have

buy it from them, right?

Right, unless they buy it from us first.

You suppose that's why Sharp's calling?

Call him back and find out.

I have. I've called him three times already, honey. He doesn't return my

The guy's playing some kind of game with me.

We're in no position to wait for a saint to come along.

Call him again.

And keep calling till we get through.

Okay.

Mr. Sharp's office. Michael Sharp, please.

Lance Compson.

I've been waiting here for over an hour. Is he always this rude?

Mr. Sharp is a very busy man.

Well, I have an appointment with him. Will you buzz him again?

Mr. Compson, if I buzz him again, I'll lose my job.

He knows you're here. Please sit down.

Look at this guy. He's threatened to walk out four times already.

Come on, do it. Leave.

Think he'll take my money or not?

Why do you want this whiner so much?

If Channing wants it more.

Oh, there he goes.

Come on in.

Listen, I apologize. I've been on the phone with Bangkok for the last hour.

Thai food's great.

They're tough business partners, you know?

Here, have a seat.

You like the war room?

How do you know I need $20 million?

I like your style. You really are.

Come out clanging.

Listen, forget the banks.

You need to deal with someone who's not afraid to take a chance.

I pay off the $20 million, I get 60 % of Falcon Crest. You want a cup of coffee?

No one outside of my family will ever own Falcon Crest. Not 60%, not 1%. Well,

make it a loan, then. If you don't pay it back, then I get 60 % of Falcon

That's the best offer you're going to get.

Why the sudden interest?

It's a good turnaround opportunity.

That's my specialty.

I don't like the way it smells.

I don't like the way this room smells.

It smells like money to me.

Want some?

I shouldn't have come here.

It was a mistake.

What did you expect?

To walk in here and pick up 20 million cash in a suitcase, no strings attached?

What planet are you from?

Fine. Turn me down. I don't drink wine anyway.

Brian.

Come here.

Time to move.

Let me guess, Mount Rushmore.

Sit down, Channing.

We've gone over the numbers on this Overdyne deal, and you might be right.

discussed it, and Michael Sharp could be behind it. He is behind it, and if we

want to do something about it, we've got to move fast. Now listen, the last time

I checked, my name was on that door.

Sit down.

Even if we buy on margin, this is still a huge risk.

What we're talking about here is betting the company.

That's the fun of it. Oh, really?

And what about Sharp?

If he catches on and bails out, we're left holding the bag, and it is a very,

very expensive bag.

You buy the stock. Let me worry about Sharp.

I love...

Where did you get that?

Oh, I just stumbled across it.

I've been stumbling across all sorts of interesting things.

Do you miss her?

I do.

Sometimes.

She wasn't such a bad sister, really.

Ah, here's one of us on the Blue Angel.

Remember how much she liked to sail?

I remember, Janelle, okay?

She was an extraordinary woman, but you didn't love her. I want you out of here.

I want you out of here tomorrow.

I mean it.

And if I'm not, what will you do?

Call the cops?

I should get a horse whip and take care of things myself.

Goodie. That sounds like fun.

But right now, I'd settle for a massage.

Come on, Frank.

My neck is stiff.

Come on.

Oh, that's good.

You always did know how to make me feel good, Frank.

Much better.

Thanks, Frank.

I think I'll turn in now.

Sweet dreams.

Rough night, Frank.

Maybe I can help.

Where'd you get that?

This? Oh, this is one of the interesting things I stumbled across.

You have power of attorney over Falcon Crest.

How the hell did you get it?

It was in my safe.

Frank, you're so stupid.

It's one of the things I like best about you.

I'm so glad you haven't changed.

Give it to me, Janille.

Oh, Frank, a gold mine right under your nose, and you probably weren't even

planning to do anything with it at all, were you? So what?

I've got nothing to do with you. Nothing.

Come here.

Give it to me.

Okay, Frank, let's stop the game.

I know what you want, and you can have it.

Then I'll tell you what I want.

No. Yes.

Aren't they? I thought you'd like them.

Another family heirloom, I suppose.

What?

Where did you get this ring? I told you. Now don't give me that bull about your

dear old mum.

Hey, don't talk about my mother like that.

After the lawyer, I stopped by at the jewellery store in town to reset the

He told me he sold it to a middle -aged...

Dark -haired man.

Different ring.

He said it was this one. He remembered it. He's a bloody jeweler.

What does he know?

Rings.

All right.

Come on. You let go of me. Let go. I'm not going anywhere with you.

You are hurting me.

Good afternoon.

Seems we've got a little discrepancy here between the woman I love and yours

truly. Ever see this ring before?

Oh, yes. This ring?

Not one that looks a little like it or that slightly resembles it. Now, before

you answer, I want you to look very closely.

Because there's a lot riding on what you say if you catch my drift.

Like the memory of my dear old mum.

I think... This is very embarrassing.

But I think I may have been wrong.

It wasn't this ring.

Laurie, you told me you were absolutely positive.

I remembered as you walked out that the other one had baguettes.

Oh, I can't believe it. Leave the poor fellow alone, Emma. Can't you see he

works very hard?

Are you satisfied?

You want me to take a lie detector test, walk on hot coals, bamboo up the

fingernails, what?

I'm sorry, Charlie.

Trust, baby.

Trust.

If we don't have that, we don't have a bloody thing.

I'll always trust you, Charlie.

I promise.

Where's Murty? He's not backing out, is he? It takes time to raise this kind of

money. He's not used to the fast lane.

He couldn't find his way out of the parking lot.

In 15 years, I've never known Forrest Murty to do something reckless.

You'd turn him around in a few days.

Congratulations. He's over 18, Jason.

Sheriff's become an obsession with you, Richard. You're damn right.

I mean, first he takes my boys, now he's after Falconcrest.

You know, self -defense, pure and simple.

And you're loving every minute of it.

The funds are in place. Move when you're ready.

I'll see you gentlemen later.

But Channing, you better know what you're doing.

Get me Michael Sharp.

Yes, sir. Vicki, you've got to keep Sharp out of action for a while or this

whole thing's going to blow up in our faces.

Now, I assume you've got a plan.

I thought I'd invite him for lunch.

What do you think?

Lunch?

You think he's going to accept a luncheon invitation from you? He hates

guts. Gotcha.

You know Sharp, he won't turn down a challenge because he thinks he can't be

beat. This will be a new experience for him.

Michael Sharp on the line.

I hope you can pull this off because you're talking about a $40 million lunch

here.

Hello, Michael.

I told you before, Channing, they took your kids away because you're a

I had nothing to do with it.

Yes. I know you told me, Michael, but you admit that you know Judge Stewart.

I'm not going through this again. Michael.

I told you before, I want my children back.

I came here because you said you had something of mutual interest to discuss.

Frankly, I find your personal problems incredibly dull.

What about the Wellington tender offer?

You find that incredibly dull? I know all about that, Michael.

But the SEC doesn't.

Yet.

You have no proof?

None. Oh, I've got enough proof to get another investigation started. Go ahead.

I got so much crap raining down already, I won't even notice.

And I've wasted enough time.

All right, Michael, please.

Look, I need my children.

I've got to get them back.

I'm lost.

You've got children of your own.

Surely you must be able to understand my feelings.

If there's any way you can help, I'd be most appreciative.

Even if I could, why the hell should I?

You never know.

I may be able to help you someday.

You know something, Channing?

You're pathetic.

Mr. Sharp?

Mr.

Sharp?

What's going on? They need you at the office.

They've been trying desperately to get a hold of you. Oh, I got some messages

here for you, sir.

Should have brought them to my table. Well, Mr. Channing told me not to

you, sir.

All right.

What the hell's going on?

Ryan,

talk. Ordine is up to 48.

I can see that, Einstein. What'd you buy it back at?

We didn't.

What are you saying?

That I'm still short?

Two million shares?

You better be lying. We tried to get through to you. We couldn't reach you.

Michael, you told us not to do anything without your approval. I am down 40

million bucks. But you told us not... Shut up!

This can't be happening.

This isn't happening. I got here as soon as I... Michael, overdone's at 49.

Thank you, Payne Webber.

Track down some shareholders.

Try for some off -board trades. We're doing that. We're having trouble tracing

ownership.

Michael, I am sorry.

We just couldn't reach you. Because Channing held me up.

He blocked the messages.

He can't trace the shares.

Oh, bastard!

He doesn't care about his kids. He cares about putting the screws to me.

What do you want?

The deal you talked about. You know, the loan with ownership if we don't pay it

back. I thought it over, Mike. Take a hike.

What? I got other problems, Compson.

Get lost.

Sorry, Mr. Compson.

Bad time.

Everybody else, out.

Now!

Come on.

Mike, take your medicine. Buy the shares.

And pay Channing 40 million bucks?

No, no way.

Besides, I can't. Everything's frozen, remember?

Settle with the SEC.

Settle with the Justice Department.

If you default on Overdine, there'll be another investigation.

This time, they will bury you.

And it won't be a shallow grave.

Settle, Michael.

They'll take off the freeze.

You'll cover on Overdine. Hey, life goes on. The SEC wants 300 million!

Justice wants four!

I got an idea. Let's take it out of your wallet, Santa Claus.

Now, what's your advice?

You'll make the money back, and you'll stay out of jail.

It's the only way out, Mike.

You don't have much time.

It's $42 million!

I can't believe it!

Dickie,

you're a genius.

I'd kiss you, but you're too tall.

Come on, the partners are going crazy out there. Jace, do you think the

might be willing to do me a little favor?

The bankruptcy court will appoint a trustee who will manage Falcon Crest,

subject to the approval of a creditor's committee.

Is there any chance Falcon Crest can survive as a smaller business, maybe?

It's too early to tell for sure, but it seems unlikely.

Lance, don't you think you should hear this? I hear it.

Richard. Laura.

Lance.

Hope I'm not interrupting anything.

I don't believe we've met. I'm Richard Canning, and this is a check for $20

million.

No way.

What's the catch?

No catch.

You signed this contract.

And I give the gentleman his money.

And then Falcon Crest owes Richard Channing $20 million.

You don't owe me a thing, Lance. You owe the company I work for.

If that's here that we have a year to pay you, what happens if we can't pay

within that time? Worry about it in a year.

Sign.

I don't know what I did to deserve this. Lance, just sign it.

If you want, you can write a thank you note to Michael Sharp.

He's the one who came up with the money.

He didn't want to, but he did.

I don't know what to say.

I do.

Thank you, Richard.

Debt is paid.

Falcon Crest is saved by the bell.

Congratulations, Lance.

It's your show now.

Thank you, Richard.

You're welcome.

Adios.

Hello, Frank.

Richard.

Frank! Frank, we did it. Falcon Crest is saved by General Channing.

Oh.

Well, that's a relief, isn't it? Look, Lance, uh...

I've come here to tell you something, and I don't quite know how to say it.

When Angie was planning to go to Europe, she gave me power of attorney over

Falcon Crypt.

And given the trouble you've had since you took over, I think I should exercise

it. And there's a copy. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. We haven't had any

trouble. Well, from what I'm given to understand, you are five minutes away

bankruptcy. I'd call that trouble. No, I've got to take over.

Effective as of right now.

Why are you doing that?

Read it. It's all in there.

Look, I'm sorry.

I owe it to your grandmother.

with Frank?

He says she's at the store.

Next

on

FalconCraft. Make my universe complete and marry me.

It's time to bury the hatchet right in the middle of this skull.

Just doesn't add up. I mean, there is something wrong about this whole thing.

Did she leave you anything?

They're using the will as evidence. It's classified.

I wouldn't see a penny until she dies anyway.

Get in the car.

Get in the car.

You're insane.

The doctors say Angela won't recover anyway.

She'd probably want somebody to pull the plug.
