All language subtitles for Falcon Crest s09e14 Brotherly Love

Previously on Falcon Crab.

You need to get into Channing's office
and memorize every figure and detail

associated with the Cumberland deal. Can
you do it?

All right, I want to move on this
information.

All cylinders firing. I want 51 % of
that company before Channing gets it.

break his back.

Someone cost me and this firm $52
million.

Now, I'm going to find out who was
responsible. Trust me. And when I do, by

it is not going to be pretty. Let
Richard think that Lauren leaked the

not interrogate me like this.

I think you better leave.

This is fantastic.

What am I eating here?

They're eggs, Michael.

They taste so good.

Maybe it's because you made them for me.

You know, I cannot tell you how glad I
am that you're not living with that

lunatic anymore.

I can't believe I was so wrong about
Richard.

He just turned on me.

You know, some people, it's like
they're...

chemically imbalanced or something. You
know, you gotta listen to your little

brother once in a while.

When he came into my life, he just
seemed so vulnerable.

Oh, Lauren, please stop.

I'm about to toss these eggs I love so
much.

Look at me.

Who am I anymore?

What do I do?

You're gonna stay here with me?

I can't stay here with you. You've got
your own life. I need mine.

Oh, you don't.

I mean, come on.

We're family. Now, what's family if we
can't be together?

What? You think I'm going to move in and
take care of you like when we were

kids? You?

Take care of me? I think you've got that
turned around.

You know what?

You know what I used to wish when we
were teenagers?

What?

Sometimes I used to wish that we weren't
brother and sister, you know.

That, uh...

That we were both adopted from different
families and thrown into the same

house. That it was God's way of putting
us together.

You really did?

Still do.

You know, I have not had a dinner at
home in years.

How about it, Earth Mother?

Sure.

Oh,

uh... Can you make it for three? Joey's
going to be in town.

Joey Walt?

Yeah, he called. He's in a rut. I'm
going to help him out. We're going to

deal together.

Should we invite Danny?

Good idea. I'll call him.

Are you embarrassed to introduce me to
him?

I don't think that's such a good idea.

He's not one of the more sociable men in
the world.

Then let me get to know him.

You know, you really have a way of
twisting things around.

The wrong thing.

Hi.

We owe you one.

Sid?

Thanks. You're welcome.

Look, see? Why can't we be like that?

Sidney's downstairs with Danny Sharp,
right? Yes.

Now, is she with us or against us?

I'd say she's with us.

Okay.

Honey, besides each other, what keeps us
going?

This land, right? This winery, Falcon
Crest.

Maybe we can use Danny Sharp to get him
back.

Maybe.

What worries me is I think she's falling
for him.

Well, I don't think she is.

I mean, I think Sidney is basically a
needy person, you know? I mean, she's

always had a man in her life.

And you know what?

We have to make sure that man is you and
not Danny Sharp.

Oh, no, honey.

No way. I'm not pulling a Ned Vogel.
That's not what I meant.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it
that way.

I promise I will never, ever mention his
name again in this house.

Good morning.

Morning.

Why did you want me here?

Well, beautiful orphan fills up on my
doorstep. I'm not going to turn her

Besides, I needed a friend last night.

Well, then why won't you let me be a
friend?

Janille.

You don't have to go to bed with
somebody to be their friend.

Besides, I just can't hop into the sack
with anyone.

It's got to mean something.

What is it going to take for you to give
me a chance?

No.

Time.

Time.

I've loved you for such a long time.

I've loved you since the first moment I
saw you in the courtroom.

I know it sounds corny, but it was...

It was like a bolt of lightning
searching through my veins.

Hey, now hold on a second.

I'm still recovering from a few things.

But what do I have to do? What do I have
to be? Will you please just tell me and

I will be that person.

I have so much to give you.

Are you still thinking about Lauren?

Yes.

Everyone thinks that she and Michael are
complete opposites.

But you wouldn't believe how alike those
two people are.

You're right.

I don't believe it.

Shall I be here when you get home
tonight?

Please.

Why not?

So what we're talking about here is a
breach of contract.

Well, don't you think it's best under
the circumstances?

You've really fallen for this guy,
haven't you?

What is it that women see in Channing?
Is it the puppy dog eyes, the deep

sensitive soul, the way his clothes
never fit him quite right? What?

I'm not going to waste my time trying to
explain an honest emotion to you.

You? An honest emotion? Come on, Janine,
you're talking to me here.

Forget it, Michael. I'm just not going
to be around anymore.

Wait, wait, wait. Don't get insulted.

Actually, this comes at a good time.

I wish you and Channing all the luck in
the world. I can just see you two

together.

Big ranch house, couple snappy kids
running around, you in a muumuu,

curlers in your hair.

I'll see you again.

It's me.

What's up?

Nothing much. I'm just sitting here with
about $32 million worth of business to

take care of, and all I can think about
is you.

How great it's going to be coming home
tonight and having you there.

I'm not your wife, Michael.

Thank God for that.

I'm making lasagna tonight.

That's my favorite.

Oh, sis, I got to go. Joey's here.

Oh, say hello for me. Okay.

Joey! Hey, kid. How you doing?

Great. Oh, it's good to see you.

Boy, who would have thought it?

A kid who never hit a clutch free throw
in his life would end up with all this,

huh? Yeah, well, the problem with all
you guys on the team is you took those

jump shots too damn seriously. I could
have told you back then they wouldn't

amount to squat.

Yeah, well... Look, I made a reservation
for us down at the wharf. I thought

we'd raise a little hell tonight.

Forget it. Lauren's cooking us dinner.

Lauren? What, she and her husband split
up?

In a manner of speaking, yeah.

Oh. Well, that's great. I'd love to see
her. It's great to see you, buddy. You

too.

Listen, Mike, um... I was hesitant to
call you about this deal, but it's the

real thing, man.

There's a ton of cash to be made. I just
need the seed money, that's all. My

people are looking at the numbers. Say
no more.

Everybody falls on hard times.

Oh, please, tell me about it.

But, you know, if you can't go to your
best friend when you're in trouble, I

mean, who can you go to?

Absolutely.

Unless, of course, your best friend's
busted.

No. So he's still playing?

Yeah, yeah, now and then. Maybe we
should hit the court, huh?

Anytime.

Bless me, Father, for I've sinned.

It's been 12 years since my last
confession.

Yes?

I've done so many things that I'm
ashamed of that I don't even know where

begin.

Most people have done things they're
ashamed of.

Why don't you begin at the beginning?

I believe I have a chance to be happy,
but I need first to be absolved of my

many sins.

Tell me.

formal garden in the trout pond. I was
expecting a sprawling mansion here. I

all that. You know what?

It wasn't worth diddly squat.

Just a bunch of extra people roaming
around who you don't trust.

I know what you mean.

So, Lauren, what do you think your
brother's accomplishments?

Oh, I think he's knee -deep in some of
the most amoral, shameless business

since the teapot dome scandal.

But he is still my brother, and I just
love him to death.

Yeah, I wish I had a piece of that
teapot dome action.

You know, I can't believe.

That goofy little girl who used to watch
us play basketball turned into such a

beautiful woman.

Well, thank you, but get out of town.
I'm still goofy.

I know, but in the best way.

Hey, Joey.

That's my sister you're hitting on.

Well, I know that. I've been hitting on
her a lot longer than even you know.

I'm glad to see you're still striking
out. Let's keep it that way. Wait, wait,

wait. Don't I have a say in this?

So what's the big deal that the two of
you are cooking up? Forget about the

deal. That's beside the point.

So I'm trying to straighten this guy's
life out.

He's 39 years old. He's unmarried.

Doesn't want to work for anybody.

He's looking for a big score.

You're a little old to rely on your
looks, pal. You know, it's time you

out where it's at.

Michael. No, no, no, no, no. He needs to
hear the words.

He's got to make $300 ,000, $400 ,000 a
year. He thinks he's happy. He thinks

he's in the big time.

Michael, I'd do all right.

Well, maybe that's your problem. Maybe
you've got to redefine your terms.

But you want your epitaph to read, here
lies Joey Waltz. He did all right.

I don't have to take this noise from
you.

Wait, no, please. The two of you, can
you just stop the macho banalities for

five minutes and enjoy a pleasant meal,
please?

Okay.

Okay, for you, Lauren.

Where's Michael?

Where do you think?

On the phone.

Right.

Sometimes I think he should have that
thing implanted into his ear.

How do you like your coffee?

Oh, in a cup's fine.

Well, that was some dinner, huh?

If I closed my eyes, I would swear the
two of you were 16 again.

Yeah, but back then I was the jerk.

Lauren, I heard you've been having some
hard times.

Well, I'm really sorry.

But it's probably good you're staying
here.

It's a nice support system.

Oh, it's funny thinking of Michael as a
support system.

I know.

What's next for you?

Oh, I can't think that far ahead.

You know the expression, one day at a
time?

Perfect. What about tomorrow, lunch?

Lauren, I need a friend, too.

Sure, John.

I'll see you.

Danny's swinging by. Just see my kid.
He's a piece of work. Right, Lauren?

he's terrific.

I'm a little worried, though. The chick
he sees is a real killer.

Killer in what sense, Michael?

I mean, a killer. I mean, like a knife
in her husband's back.

Is that killer enough for you?

Thank you.

Danny, I know how to dress myself.

Can you fix that curl?

What is it with you? I look fine.

I want you to look perfect.

I want my dad to like you.

If I'm not perfect, your dad's not going
to like me?

Exactly.

You know, I don't need that kind of
pressure.

Listen to me.

You're not going to meet Ozzie Nelson.

Do you understand you're going to go sit
down and have coffee with one of the

most influential financial barons of our
century?

Do you know how many people were killed
to be in your shoes?

Oh, well, I've met your father before,
and I wasn't that impressed.

Yeah, well, you didn't meet him as my
date.

And that's what you're here for. You're
here for me, okay?

Right now, I'm staying at Falcon Crest.
How do you like it?

Oh, it's fine.

I need to get my own place soon, though.

She's been out working in the winery.
She's really been helping me out.

Now, when you say work, you mean she's
on the payroll?

Anybody that works in the winery is on
the payroll.

Who hired her?

Uh, Michael, can we talk about business
later? Hey, hey, hey, anybody who knows

me knows a business is never later. Who
hired her? I hired her.

Do you have a problem with that, Mike?

Not at all.

Dan, you're sitting in the big chair.

Did you hear that, Joey?

I own a winery now. What do you think?

I don't know, Mike.

Wineries are going under all the time
these days. Not this one.

This winery I acquired for less than the
cost of one newspaper.

Zero dollars and cents to be exact.

Because you stole it.

You should be put in jail for what you
did to Emma. Uh -oh, she's getting

Get rid of the knives and forks.

Danny, will you please drive me home?

I can't listen to this anymore.

I'm sorry.

Sidney, he didn't mean it, really.

Dad, tell her you're sorry. Okay. I'm
sorry, Sidney.

I'm sorry Danny brought you here
tonight.

Thanks a lot.

Take her home.

Drop her from the payroll. And if I find
out you're still seeing this ungrateful

little twit, then you're off the
payroll, too.

You know, it's really been a wonderful
evening.

Another lovely evening at the Sharps.

Michael, stop running Danny's life.

Stop playing dictator and leave him
alone.

Lauren, take some of your own advice.

Don't interfere. I know how to handle
the kid.

Michael, I... End of conversation.

Lauren, let me help you with that.

No, thank you, Joey.

Oh, sis, by the way, I talked to my
lawyer today. I think it's time you had

name changed back to Sharp.

What? That's who you are now. You're
Lauren Sharp. Lauren Daniels doesn't

anymore.

I don't exist anymore?

Well, you know what I mean. I just...
Michael, you live in a tunnel.

And it is a dark, narrow tunnel that
goes in circles. How dare you tell me

my name should be?

You don't want to be dictator.

You want to be a god, master of the
universe.

How about you and me play some b -ball
tomorrow, huh? What do you say?

Richard, I told you I've gone over and
I've accounted for everything that's

happened in this office in the last two
weeks. Now, the only person we have not

investigated that I know was in this
office is Jovan. Who?

Jovan, the Yugoslavian chess player. The
distraction.

Yes, the distraction.

Anyway, he came up here one night to
apologize to me and he followed me into

your office. We were not in there for
more than one, maybe two minutes. In my

office? Yes.

We were only in there maybe one, maybe
two minutes at the most, and I was there

the whole time.

I swear to you, Richard.

I mean, these chess guys, they've got
photographic memories. All it would take

would be a few glances at the right
material. Do you want me to talk to him?

I'll talk to him. No.

He doesn't have anything to do with
Sharp.

Or does he?

You know, Richard, come to think of it,
the reason I was angry with Yvonne was

because he was coming on to Janelle out
here while she was waiting to get him to

see you in there.

Janelle? Mm -hmm, Janelle.

Bingo.

Who? Who? Who's Jovan?

Richard, you're hurting me. I'm going to
tell you, but if you don't tell me the

truth now, who's Jovan?

I don't know, Big.

Some guy I met for two minutes. What are
you doing? You introduced him to Sharp,

didn't you?

No. I did not. I'm in your office.

Don't lie to me.

You introduced me to Sharp, and Sharp
paid him to get information out of my

office. Right?

I don't know what you wanted to say.

I love you.

You cost me a lot of money.

And you hurt a lot of people with your
games.

You finish your shower and you get out.

Michael, it's the Eiffel Tower, you
know. I mean, it's like Super Bowl I, an

idea whose time has come. And it's just
going to keep getting bigger and bigger.

I mean, the franchise possibilities are
international.

Come on, Joey.

You're not talking to one of your short
-pant MBA assistants here. Everybody who

comes through that door has got the
greatest opportunity since white bread.

Michael, I know that, but it's all here.
You just need to check it out. Whatever

happened to that drugstore chain you
were syndicating last time I saw you?

Michael.

Michael, that would have worked. My
partner's just...

So what you're telling me is you want
Billy up?

Come on, Joey. I'm not trying to bust
your chops here. Just don't feed me the

same line you're feeding everybody else.

This deal will work if I make it work,
not on its intrinsic merits. There's no

such thing.

Companies don't make me. I make
companies.

Michael, I don't know whether to applaud
or genuflect. Relax.

I want to help you out.

I mean, that's what this is all about,
right? Me helping you out. You have been

turned down by every bank west of the
Rockies.

I checked it out.

Okay.

Come on. What's with this slumped over
hang dog crap? You're Joey Waltz. Joey

Waltz. What was it? Five seconds left.
Championship game down by a point. Joey

Waltz steals the ball, shoots him 42
feet at the buzzer.

Swish.

We all just stood there staring at you,
wishing we were you.

It was biblical.

Yeah, it really was.

That one shot got you more girls than
any single act in the history of high

school.

I really wish that was in your shoes
right then. Or whatever piece of

was still left on your body.

Yeah, but that was a long time ago,
Michael.

I've had to let go of the past.

You know, take the talk of the future.

Yeah, I hear you.

Some things you just don't want to
forget, though.

You were a beauty, man.

I'm glad I was there to see it.

Sometimes I get carried away when the
world around me isn't orbiting the way I

want it to.

I worry that you're going to hurt and
alienate everyone.

And that you'll end up bitter and alone.

And, you know, Michael has no idea
what's really happening in my life.

He still thinks that I'm working over
at, um... Well, Lauren, to tell you the

truth, I'm flat broke.

A couple of years ago, I quit a
perfectly good job and decided to strike

my own and become a Michael Sharp.

Oh, joy.

Yeah, I struck out. It's exactly what I
did. I am so sorry.

I am,

too. I do know this, that when you
called, Michael was very excited.

Boy, we had some time together.

No, I think he wants to really make this
deal.

He doesn't have many friends, and he
doesn't trust anyone new.

Lauren, I want to tell you something.

There's another reason that I want to
make this thing work.

I want to get married.

Her name is Ann, and I met her about six
months ago on an airplane.

And she is just incredible.

Oh, Joey, I'm so glad.

But I don't feel like I can go through
with it unless my life is more together.

Well, if you really love this woman, I
mean, don't let the money stop you.

One thing doesn't have anything to do
with the other.

You don't really believe that, do you?

I guess I'd still like to.

I guess you're, uh...

You've traveled a pretty rocky road this
past year.

I lost my husband.

And I fell in love with my brother's
enemy.

Ooh, who's the lucky fella?

Richard. But I think I've lost him too.

And the thing is, is I don't really know
why.

And one night he just turned on me and
accused me of terrible things.

So that's why you're staying with
Michael.

I thought that was sort of strange.

Well, I won't be there for long.

Not the impression I got from him.

Joey, have you ever thought that
Michael's crazy?

No doubt about it. No, I don't mean
crazy, crazy.

Lauren, I'm not exactly sure what you're
asking me.

It's nothing, really.

I am just very happy to see you again.

Yeah, me too.

We need to talk.

Go to hell. Lauren, please, now listen
to me.

People have been playing a game. You and
I got caught in the middle. What did

Michael do this time?

He's the source of all your problems,
isn't he? No. You threw me out without

much as an explanation.

Now, I was married to one man with a
temper. I don't need another one in my

life. I know that. I'm sorry. I
apologize.

Your brother and I are involved in a
war.

I don't get it with you men.

It's about money and power, and it is
relentless. No, it's not about money.

Trust me.

It's about us.

I want you.

Laura and I trusted you with the most
precious things in my life, my children.

Did you think about them when you threw
me out? I didn't know what to think.

But I've got things sorted out now.

I'm glad you've sorted things out.

I haven't. Goodbye.

It's time to punt, Danny. She's got to
go. Why?

Because I smell something there,
something I don't trust.

Look, in the old days, when one king
deposed another, he got rid of all of

enemies, family, and friends because he
knew they could be a threat later on.

She is 18 years old. He got rid of the
young ones first.

Look, I'm sorry, kid, but there's no
room for discussion here if you want to

keep running the winery. You can't run
my personal life. I'm not trying to.

This is business.

Just make up your mind, her or me.

Listen, Dad, we're not still talking
about this, are we?

Sorry to interrupt. Michael here is
those figures on Cumberland.

Thanks, Mark.

Oh, by the way, I saw your sister today
at lunch over at Macenzo's.

With Danny?

No, with that friend of yours, Walt.

Who are you having lunch with today at
Macenzo's?

Ed Pellen from the bank. We were going
over the numbers. Yeah, I know who he

That guy's at dinner, not at lunch.

I'm sorry, Michael.

When you saw Lauren, did she come in
with this guy or did they come in

separately?

I don't know. They were already seated.

What did it look like to you? What do
you mean?

Did it look like an intimate lunch? Did
it look like a pit stop on the way to a

motel? How would I know that, Michael?
Were they drinking wine? Were they

holding hands? Come on, you ever live in
the real world, Bryant?

You can read signs, can't you?

Well, now that I think of it, they were
holding hands for... I'm his best

friend, my bosom buddies, bird dog and
my sister.

Now, Danny, listen, it's an arrangement.

It can work.

But I'm going to need a couple of
things. Well, man, you name it, I'm sure

rabbi.

I want Pilar back here.

Are you too sure you ironed out your
personal problems?

One of these days, I'm going to clean
your clock.

Actually, I was thinking of letting some
people go.

Do you think Sidney's excess baggage?

Sidney?

You're thinking of firing Sidney? Why?

Not putting out for you?

You know, one of these days, I'm going
to hire someone to clean your clock.

I can hardly wait.

Sidney, come here. I want to talk to
you.

I hope you're not mad about that night.

I'm not mad at you.

Good.

You know, after I got over my hurt
feelings, I started thinking about what

must be like to be you, constantly under
Dad's thumb.

It's not that bad.

You know, I'm really concerned.

I mean, you really don't want to be
working in a winery.

You want to finish school, you want to
go back to college.

I want to help you attain your goals.

That's what I used to want, but I mean,
I realize this is the best school for

me. Working in the real world.

But you're sweet.

Let me make you dinner.

Great.

It's really very small, I mean, for
sure.

10 % of the rift, we get 60 % of the
return.

If the river returns.

Michael, we've got government loan
guarantees.

We're not going to crash and burn,
that's for sure.

It's better every day.

I'm telling you, it's a gold mine.

We just have to move on, that's all.
Here.

You never used to hit that shot.

It's all up here.

Maybe you got it up here, too.

Maybe I've underestimated you.

Play a little horse?

No, let's play a little one -on -one.

Mike, we're too old for that. What's the
matter? You afraid I'm gonna whip you?

You never have, you never will.

Rock him up fast, Eddie.

Okay, that's four in a row. You want to
keep abusing me? What do you think

you're doing with my sister, huh?

What are you talking about?

Lunch. That's what I'm talking about.

What, did you drink a little wine, huh?
Play a little footsie under the table?

Did you come here for work or for
pleasure? So what if I did?

What's the matter with that? Aren't I
acceptable?

No. As a matter of fact, you're not.

Look at you. You're an aging jock.
Coupling me with a million to one shot

your hat in your hand.

That's nothing for a girl to get
involved with.

Okay, Michael. All right. I took her out
to lunch.

There's nothing between Lauren and I,
Michael. I'm engaged.

To somebody else.

That's what I wanted to share with her.

So, uh, I guess this means the deal's
off, huh?

No, that's not what it means.

I just had to know.

She's been through a lot. She's got
nobody to protect her but me.

I understand that. Just don't let me
find out that you're a liar.

You know, Sydney, in some ways, it's
funny, but Hilaria and I feel like your

parents. I think what he's trying to say
here is that we promised Emma that we'd

act as your guardian.

Did I do something wrong?

No.

This is awkward.

What we want to know is, how do you feel
about us?

I love you guys.

Can't you see that by now?

Sydney, look.

We've got to get Falcon Crest back into
the family and away from Michael Sharp

and anybody else who wants to get their
hands on it.

Do you love him, Sid?

Danny? Mm -hmm.

I like Danny, but... His father is
pressuring him to fire you.

How do you know that?

He's fallen for you.

Pretty hard.

Things might get difficult.

And you want me to keep seeing Danny.

Well, I am, and I will.

Because I want to.

Well, I can't tell you before then.

Yeah.

It's just the man I wanted to see.

No problem.

What, did Mike do that to you?

No, no, no, no, no. I turned left when I
should have turned right.

So these are the latest invoices,
requisitions, and distribution schedules

wanted you to take a look at.

Good, Danny.

That's very good.

Did you take care of that other thing
your dad asked for?

What, he told you about Sidney?

Your dad tells me everything.

You know, I don't get it. I mean, I'm
supposed to be in charge. Let me be in

charge. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. He
might let you be running the office,

but he is in charge. Never forget that.

We're all slaves.

I mean, if he makes all the decisions,
what does he need us for?

Just listen to me a minute.

When I first went to work for Michael
Sharp, I asked myself the same

And I'm old enough to be his father.

But I quickly realized something.

This was no ordinary smart -mouthed kid.

This was a genius.

So if you're a genius, that allows you
to treat everybody else like dirt?

Well, he doesn't treat anybody like
anything. We're just here.

If there's work to be done, he expects
it to get done.

And if we can't accept those terms,
we're free to walk.

It's very, um... It's very refreshing
once you understand that it's not

personal.

Well, they didn't fire Sidney.

Oh? Why not?

Ed, I really like her.

I mean, if I fire her, she'll never talk
to me again.

Then, um, you do have a problem.

Mike, I, uh, I talked to the guys over
at the bank, and all of a sudden,

got three more interested buyers.

Janelle Erickson keeps calling you,
Michael. What should I tell her? I'm not

here. I'm not taking her calls. Forget
it. Mike, they told me I could have till

tomorrow afternoon at five to get the
papers signed, so I really, I sort of

to know. Bring them over here. I'll sign
them. I told you all along, I like it.

You mean, just like that? Because, you
know, I've got to pick... I don't make

decisions based on figures alone. People
are more important to me. Isn't that

right, Ed? Mm -hmm.

Mike.

Mike, thanks a million, man. You're not
gonna regret it. I better not.

Joey here's gonna bring some papers by.
Make sure I sign them by five tomorrow.

Right, Michael.

What are you doing here? Aren't you
supposed to be firing somebody?

Just on my way.

You know, I used to hate fire.

But like I was...

crushing their skulls or something like
that. I could see their eyes pop out of

their head, you know? That look of panic
on their face.

Start gasping for breath.

The lame excuse of Mr.

Sharp.

You feel bad, but you know it's got to
be done.

Then one day I realized firing people is
a good thing. Not for them, of course,

but for me. It makes you stronger.

So now I never go too long without
firing someone, whether they need it or

just on general principles.

It's good practice. It keeps you in
fighting form.

By the way, Ed.

Just kidding.

Michael isn't here.

Yeah,

he won't see me. He won't let me into
his office.

What's he got to be angry about?

I have no idea.

Oh, this isn't the warm and generous
Lauren of a few days ago.

No, it isn't. I think I know why.

What did you tell Richard about me?

I'm in love with Richard Channing.

I would say or do anything to get him.

Was my brother behind this?

Michael is behind everything.

I want to come back.

That's how sick I am.

I know now you are telling the truth.

And I'm sorry for the way I acted.

It's all right.

I'm a little embarrassed by the way I
acted.

I guess people act funny when they care.

That's an understatement if I ever heard
one.

You know, a few years ago, my life was
perfect.

I had my boys.

And now I have a brother who wants to
possess me.

And you want me to move in with you.

I feel like I'm being twisted and pulled
in different directions.

What do you want?

I want to be able to lie on a couch at
night and watch game shows.

I really enjoy them and get totally
caught up in who's going to win.

Because I have so much peace of mind.

That I can concentrate on who's going to
win Wheel of Fortune.

Yes.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

No.

I need to be my own person, Richard. And
I need to find out who that is.

About us.

You have lunch with Joey the other day?

Why didn't you tell me about it?

Why should I?

Because when I hear it from somebody
else, it seems like you're hiding

something.

I see.

Do you have any other problems with my
behavior? Hey, don't be sarcastic.

Just... Did he come on to you?

Did he come on to you?

If he did, it is none of your business.

Answer the question.

Don't talk to me like one of your
flunkies.

You slept with him, didn't you?

How could you sleep with him? Oh, God,
you are so far gone. How could you do

that? I cannot handle this.

Where are you going?

You're going to go see Joey, huh? You're
going to see Joey now?

Take what you want.

Let's get these signed, Michael.

They have to be into the bank by five o
'clock.

That's so.

How you doing, Joey?

Oh, fine.

You know, excited.

Why? Well, because it's showtime.

Yeah?

Really?

Who are they?

They're from the bank, Michael.

I must be in the wrong room, guys.

Michael, what are you doing?

What am I doing?

What have you been doing, Joey?

I'm engaged to be married.

Sounds so safe.

Did you feed that to Lauren?

Bet you did, right out of the palm of
your hand, right?

Just a couple of old friends getting
intimate.

She figured you'd slip her one while you
were in town, is that it?

Michael, what is wrong with you?

I am engaged, and... and nothing
happened between me and Lauren.

And nothing's gonna happen between you
and me.

Good day, gentlemen. Hey, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

We've been friends since we were 12.

Doesn't that mean anything to you? I
mean, forget about the deal.

I'm talking about us.

Just a second.

I walk out of here now and 25 years of
friendship is over.

Is that what you want?

What's all this?

I talked to Joey.

Let me guess.

Are you too elopey?

You are a deeply disturbed person and
you need help.

But I can't give it to you.

I have just got to get away from you.
There you go, avoiding the question

Are you and Joey running off? No, I'm
not. I'm not running off with anybody.

just going to get your claws out of my
back.

I'm not a thing you can own. I am just a
person who happens to be your sister

who tries so hard to love you.

Why do you make it impossible?

So what are you saying?

You want me to call up Joy and make the
deal with her? The deal?

The deal.

It's always the deal.

Lauren, no. Don't do it. Don't. Don't.
Please.

Whatever you want me to do, I will do
it.

Just don't leave me. I need you here.
Can't you feel how much I love you?

Yes, I stand, Michael. I'm your sister.
I'm your sister, my God.

Then you cannot own me.

Next on Falcon Crest. Now look, I don't
want to hear from you again until you've

found her. Are we clear?

Oh, she's been through a lot, Michael.
She probably just needs some time alone.

I know people. She don't want to be
found.

You're new here, aren't you? Yes, I am.
Nothing in any place for a girl like

you.

Lance,

what are you saying?

You saw the way he looked at me?

Just go find out what he wants.

What would you do to get Falcon Crest
back?
