Original subtitles

Previously on Falcon Crest. I used to wish that we weren't brother and sister,

you know. 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.

have a say in this? No.

Joe Vaughn! You interviewed Sharp, and Sharp paid him to get information out of

my office.

People have been playing a game. You and I got caught in the middle. Was my

brother behind this? Michael is behind everything.

Can't you feel how much I love you? No!

I'm your sister, Michael.

And you cannot own... Bye.

I know she's not with her brother. What, am I paying you good money to find out

what I already know? What I don't know is where she is.

Hey, no excuses.

Now, look, I don't want to hear from you again until you've found her. Are we

clear?

Good.

Dad, is Mom lost? No, honey.

So where is she?

Oh, she'll be home soon. All right. Okay, are we ready?

Yeah. On your mark, get set, go.

But I don't understand, Michael.

is what are we trying to do with Falcon Crest?

You've already made your point to Channing.

Are you going to hold on to it, turn it around?

What?

I haven't decided yet.

Meanwhile, it's a good training ground for Danny.

By the way, did he fire that teeny bopper yet?

I assume so.

Ryan?

I don't know, Michael.

Easy on the moose, Bruce.

My name is Beharuz, not Bruce.

I know, but it doesn't rhyme with moose. So you think Danny can handle this?

No, Michael, I don't.

He's bright, but he's 19 years old.

A lot of people have quit.

It's a slap in the face to have a teenager running the show.

Hey, remember when I was 19, I cut a swath through Wall Street like nobody's

seen before. I brought the game to a new level. He's bright, Michael, but he's

not you.

Then we make him me, Ed.

Please do not move your head too much.

Find out what Danny wants to do. Let him try some ideas, see what he comes up

with. In the meantime, he's costing us money.

So does college.

Charge me by the hour here or what?

Look who's here. Hello, Michael.

You here to do my nail?

If you like.

Ooh.

Can we talk privately?

Okay, Bruce, call it a day.

I also do catering, Mr. Sharpie, in case you're interested. Yeah, if I ever

throw a haircut soiree, I'll give you a call.

Everybody peddles Michael Sharp.

What's your pitch?

I made a mistake.

Oh. Didn't work out between you and Channing?

No band of gold? No trips down the aisle? Nope.

This is where I belong.

With you.

And what am I supposed to do? Welcome you back with open arms? You hurt me,

Nobody can hurt you, Michael.

How's Lauren?

I don't know.

She's, uh, out finding herself.

Oh.

So, do you still want me?

Same deal as before.

Sure.

All right. But your price dropped.

How much?

By half.

Take it or leave it.

I'll take it.

I think you took too much off the sides.

Let me see.

Nope. You look just perfect.

Look, morale around here is in the toilet. I want this place to cook again.

What do you intend to do about it? What kind of question is that to ask? An

honest question.

Listen, man, I want this place cooking, too.

I mean, I can't help it that I'm Michael Sharp's son, and then that gets

people's noses bent out of joint. Dan, we're behind schedule.

We're not following up on orders. We're paying late, and we can't keep telling

people that we're in some state of transition.

Why are we talking like we're enemies?

I mean, I know you want this place back in your family.

And when I'm in a position, I'll help.

But you've got to help me.

How? By getting off my back.

I'm out of here.

Danny? Yeah?

I have the distribution charts you wanted. Great. Um, I'm still not quite

about some of the numbers.

Well, come on. We'll get over it together.

Danny, I know your dad wants me fired.

So why don't I just leave right now?

Let's not waste time. You know, it doesn't matter what he wants.

I want you here.

And you are helping me.

It does matter what your dad wants.

You don't want to be running a company.

You want to be in his office buying and selling the world. You're right.

But I have to pay my dues.

And I do want you.

You don't even know me.

I know I never met another girl like you.

I know how you make me feel.

I mean, you got to give me a chance.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh,

here you go.

You're new here, aren't you?

Yes, ma 'am.

What's your name?

My name is Lauren.

Lauren? Lauren, are you lonely?

Will there be anything else? That's what we're trying to get at here. I'm

married.

Where's your ring?

My husband died.

Well, when you get over your grief...

You and I are going to do some talking. I wouldn't wait by the phone.

That's no way to get big kids, honey.

No, I just don't care.

Why not? You got a rich daddy?

A rich brother.

Then move back with him if there's any place for a girl like you.

What's a girl like me?

Look at your hands, your hair.

It's so soft and fine.

Well, that's what the problem is. I'm just too soft.

I'm going to get tough.

Well, you picked the right place for it.

Will there be anything else?

What's your name?

Lauren.

Lauren.

Don't you want to know my name?

Not really.

Oh, Lauren.

Don't break my heart. I'm fragile.

Look at that.

We're the perfect height for each other.

Hey, and look over there in the mirror. Look at that. Don't you think we

compliment each other?

Take it easy.

I'm just trying to make you laugh. Yeah.

Hey Lauren, can I get some cream please?

Lauren!

No! What?

No! Please,

help!

Towels. Give me towels.

Towels. I need... Towels. Lots of these.

It's going to be all right.

I want you to breathe.

Like this.

Good. Good. Okay. You. You have to call the doctor right now.

The doctor. No. No, miss. No police. No doctor.

No. Why no doctor?

No. No police.

With me.

I want you to boil water.

Boil water.

Get these things in here.

All right.

Here we go.

Let's get these under.

Under.

Oh, Salenbar.

Where are you going? What do you want?

A little tenderness.

A little cooperation.

I've had my eye on you all day. Come on, let's go to your room. We need to talk.

Get your hands off of me.

We need to talk.

We can talk right here.

I don't think so.

Did my brother send you?

What makes you think anybody sent me?

Tell me!

I'm here because I want to be here.

You know, this morning you were bending over behind the counter and you were

picking something up.

Oh, is it a dish?

I don't know. Anyway, it's because I didn't see it. It's not what I was

at. It was something else, and that's the whole story. Just get out of my way!

Take it easy. What is your problem?

Hey,

hey, buddy, take it easy.

We're just talking here.

It's time for you to leave.

Now.

Okay.

I'll just wiggle my way out of here and take it easy.

For the first two days, she just wandered around Chinatown.

She must like Chinese food.

Crying a lot.

Moping around.

You know.

Girl stuff.

Getting in touch with their feelings.

That's what my old lady always tells me. I'm not in touch with my feelings.

Hey, I'm sensitive.

That's another story. Well, that's it.

She's just walking around Chinatown.

No, man. She's got a job in a diner.

A diner?

Yeah.

Can you pay me now?

You'll be paid.

Excuse me?

Be paid?

Look,

I know people.

I'll tell you two things about this girl.

Thing number one, on the surface, she might be an all -American nice girl.

But on the inside, it's a very vibrant woman.

if you know what I mean.

Thing number two, she don't want to be found.

Thing number three, you're out the door.

I'm trying real hard not to lose patience with you here, Danny.

Explain it to me.

Enlighten me. What is this chick doing to you? What kind of question is that

doing to me?

I mean, she's not doing anything to me. I like her. I like having her around.

She helps me.

How many 19 -year -old kids in this country do you think there are running

own multimillion -dollar company, huh?

I don't think I'm being too hard on you here.

There are plenty of 40 -year -old executive VPs at Fortune 500 companies

cut off their arm for a chance like this. You know, you want her fired

she mouthed off to you at dinner, and that doesn't really... No, I want her

fired because you're mixing business with pleasure, and that is a recipe for

disaster. You know, you only own this company because of me.

And it's because of Sidney. And I really think that I'm showing her the

appropriate amount of gratitude. I can't even believe we're still talking about

this airhead.

You want to keep her on here? Go ahead. Look, Dad. No.

Just remember this.

You screw this up, I'm never giving you another company.

I'm sorry about those eggs.

Careful, Lauren, you're going to get too good at this.

I didn't think it was possible, but I'm actually beginning to enjoy this job.

Those eggs are runny. She wants them hard.

Where are you living?

At the residence hotel at the corner.

You're kidding, why?

Well, it's a long story, but one of these nights, you and I will go out and

some beer, and I will tell you all about it. You like to bowl?

We got a team, me and the girl.

Do you know, I've never been bowling.

I don't think I'm quite ready for it yet.

I'm busy right now. I can't talk.

Who said anything about talking? I want breakfast.

Richard. Two eggs over easy, side of toast, and a glass of milk.

I'm not coming back. I need to be here now.

You need to be here?

Well, you need to be here away from me and your brother.

Just here.

Lauren, it cannot run away from your life.

You just can't wipe it away like you wipe this table. It's a fantasy.

I delivered a baby last night.

And it was... It was real life, and it wasn't a fantasy.

It was just as real as this place is real. And what is the fantasy are those

greedy wars that you and Michael fight all the time.

You are disembodied.

Out of time, out of place. Exactly.

I don't know what I am, who I am, where I am. I don't even know how I feel.

Lady, I am not a psychiatrist.

No comments, please, unless they ask for it. Oh, I'm sorry.

I am. I'm really sorry.

You have had so many tragedies. That's right.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Everywhere you go, there will be children calling for you.

Well, last night, if I may, I delivered a baby.

That was an omen.

will be others.

They are calling for you right now.

Who?

Children who lost their mother.

Who are these children?

Kevin and Michael.

Time is short. Come and speak.

Look, you don't want Falcon Crest. You made your point with Channing. He

care anymore.

And quite frankly, no matter how much you try to help your son, he's in way

his head.

What do you mean, over his head?

Well, Danny's a great kid, but the wine business is more than just management.

You gotta love grapes.

Understand the language. Know about harvests.

What would it take for us to buy the winery back from you?

What would it take?

What would it take?

Yeah.

I'm gonna have to think about that.

What are you up to, Michael?

Just playing it. Kinda gotta have a little fun.

Do you want to sell it or not?

I heard stories about that Pilar from the St. James brothers.

I miss those guys.

Michael, it's not like you to let business and pleasure interfere with

other. I won't let that happen.

I just want to find out how badly they want Falcon Crest. Besides, I want to

if Danny's associated with any of this.

Anything else about Lauren?

No, still working and living in Chinatown.

I don't get it.

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

alone. Give me a break.

I'll tell you the problem. The 60s are never going to end for that chick.

Do you want me to do anything?

Get some money over to her?

Forget it.

Teeth are very important to me.

I will not allow sweets in the house.

And brushing is required not only after every meal, but after snacks as well.

Ah.

What do you like to do for fun with the children?

I don't understand the question.

They are so cute.

And what is your name, little handsome man?

Michael. Michael?

Really?

And you are?

Get away from me.

Miss Watkins, if you'll just leave your resume here, that'll be fine.

Certainly.

I just love these boys.

Thank you.

What do you want me to do? Stay home all day? Quit my job? Yeah.

Be a bum?

Mommy!

I've missed you, too.

Hello.

You're welcome.

Better.

These last couple of weeks have been very important.

It's been the first time I haven't relied on a man to get through the day.

Where does that leave us?

I'd like to pick up where we left off.

before all the craziness, but I want my independence.

I don't know what that means.

Separate bedrooms?

Separate residences? Separate lives?

It means I keep my job. Or find another.

Richard, I love working with people. I love being busy.

What about the children?

There are a lot of families that have both working parents, and they do okay.

We would do okay.

I want to come back.

You do.

Take me back?

Hi,

can I help you? Pilar, please.

I'm her husband. What can I do for you?

Mr. Shaw sent me. He would like to see her.

Really?

Honey, who is it?

Just a minute.

Sharp wants to see you.

Alone? Yeah.

You did tell him to take a hike, I hope.

This might be our only chance to get the place back, you know.

Lance, what are you saying?

You saw the way he looked at me? I know. Just go find out what he wants.

What, and then come back here and have you wondering whether I slept with him

not to get back Falcon Crest?

No, I don't think so. Honey, wait a second.

I love you.

I trust you.

Go on. Find out what he wants.

Okay?

Come.

You're a very lucky woman.

And Mr. Sharp, you are a very disgusting man.

Oh, come on. Quit with the compliments. Have some wine.

It's a Falcon Crest 84.

I never used to think much about wine.

Never drank the stuff.

Occasionally I'd look over in a restaurant, see people performing silly

I never quite got it.

I mean, uh...

We're Americans. We don't care we're into steak and shake.

Then it dawned on me there's something really quite dainty and civilized about

wine and cheese and apples.

Maybe those French know something after all. Why am I here, Mr. Sharp?

How far are you willing to go?

I mean, what would you do to get Falcon Crest back?

Why don't you just say the words?

You want me to sleep with you.

Sleep with me?

What for?

You think I'd go to all this trouble just for a roll in the hay?

Am I supposed to be insulted?

Get to the point. Why am I here?

I'm a caring father.

Some people would call it extravagant giving your son a multi -million dollar

company to run. Okay.

I'm extravagant.

I'm also...

Ruthless. When I see something or someone getting in the way of my son's

progress, Sidney St.

James, she's using her wiles to influence my son. It has to stop. Mr.

if it does, then there's a good chance you and your husband will get what you

want.

Why does he want us to get rid of Sidney?

Because he can't get through to his own son.

Come on, give me that screwdriver on top. The one with the black handle?

Here. Okay, so suppose we ask her to leave, then what?

Well, then he says he'll be willing to sell us back the winery. Did you believe

him? I don't know. Does it really matter, though?

Why? What does that mean?

Honey, Sidney's just a teenager.

We're the only friends she has in the whole world.

We can't just kick her out into the street.

No, we'll give her some money enough to last her for a while. Lance.

Even if Sharp does keep his word.

Have you forgotten about the promise we made to Emma? We told her we'd take care

of Sydney, and we have. We didn't say we would do it forever.

I can't believe I'm hearing this. Look, if she's so worried about her, why

doesn't she take care of Sydney herself?

We don't even know where Emma is, honey. Exactly.

She left us on our own to do what we have to do. Now she'd want us to get the

winery back.

Honey, if it weren't for Sydney, you and I may not even be together.

How's that?

That still doesn't mean that she's more important than Falcon Crest. Okay, I

know one thing for sure.

Emma would not want us to descend to the level of Michael Sharp.

And I can't believe you'd want that either. I just want the winery back.

I want it back for grandmother. I want it back for us. I know, and we will get

it back.

The only difference is that you and I will be able to look at each other in

eye when we do.

Okay.

You look great in that robe. Thank you.

I love it.

Where did you get it? It's for you.

I am so happy you are back. So happy.

Have you ever had your hair short?

No. Lighter color?

It gets lighter in the summer.

You know what?

What? I have to tell you some important news.

Well, I'm all ears.

So happy to be back here with you and the boys. You are.

I'm glad.

We're together.

That's what counts.

That's the way it was meant to be.

Oh, I've got something for you.

What?

Right here.

Richard?

What? Why do you keep getting me these things? Nothing but the best for my

What has gotten into you?

You laugh.

Louie says.

Oh, because your father and I both have to work today.

But I'll pick you up at three, okay?

Can we go to the park?

If you like.

Do you want to get an ice cream?

I don't know about that.

We'll see about it. You have to get dressed now and make sure that your

brother's getting dressed.

Okay. Can I have a kiss first?

Okay. Thank you.

Are we all going to live together now?

Yes. Isn't that wonderful?

Yes. Good.

Have you ever thought of restyling your hair?

Maybe lightening the color.

I don't get you, Lauren. You're living with a millionaire and you're working

here. I've been around money all my life.

I don't think I'm any happier for it.

You know, a person like me dreams their whole life about meeting a man with

money so they can get out of this place.

What's wrong with this place? Do you think men who've lost their wives are...

Just looking for a replacement.

What a strange question. Why?

Well, Richard lost his wife.

He's dressing me in her clothes.

Oh, honey, that's weird. That is twisted. Her clothes?

Are they not?

I haven't brought it up with him yet.

You better bring it up.

Because the next thing you know, he'll start calling you by her name. And at

wrong times...

The guy did that to me once. Call me Susie. I hit him so hard he asked me to

marry him.

I've been

looking for you.

Here I am.

Working hard?

This must be very rewarding for you. As a matter of fact, it is.

You're a good -looking man. You can't leave me alone.

What are you doing, Lauren?

I'm working here and I'm living with Richard.

Two great choices.

Yes, they are, because they're mine.

About us.

I think you got the wrong idea. Michael, I don't want to talk about it. Who do I

have in this world?

No, Michael. You are the only person that I can say I'm sorry to.

That's why I'm here.

Apology accepted.

I'll even accept you and Richard Channing together, if that's what it

for you and me to keep in touch.

Keep waiting to hear the other shoe drop. No.

This is as honest as I get.

How are things between you and Richard?

Great.

Happy to hear it.

Maybe I'm wrong about the guy.

Honey, you've got hungry customers waiting.

I love you, Michael.

What's going on here?

Someone said you were leaving?

I am.

Why? Because I can't stay.

Oh, that's not an answer. Talk to me.

Your father told Lance and Pilar that if they told me to leave, he'd sell Falcon

Crest back to them.

They didn't tell me, Danny.

I'm leaving on my own.

This way everybody gets what they want.

What? Everybody but me?

I want you.

You don't even know me. Stop saying that. Listen to what I'm saying.

Do you know why I got married?

Because my father used me to pay off a gambling debt.

Okay, that's thick, so?

My husband was a twisted man.

When you kill another human being, you're supposed to feel really bad.

The day that I killed Ian was the happiest day of my whole life.

You still want me, Danny?

It wasn't your fault.

None of it was your fault.

You haven't done anything wrong.

My father won't give up Falcon Crest as long as Richard Channing's alive.

That's crazy for you to go.

And yes, I still want you.

I want you very much.

You do?

I shouldn't have to choose between having a father and having

a girl. No, you shouldn't.

I came out here to be with him.

My mom tried to stop me.

I don't know. I do what he tells me.

What does he want?

He wants all of you.

And you should know that by now. He doesn't know how to accept anything

Yeah, well, he's going to have to learn.

I don't know. Am I wrong?

No. No, I don't think you're wrong. But I do think you should be prepared for

some pretty rough going.

Danny, do you love this girl?

I'm 19.

For 19, I love her.

I wish I thought as clearly when I was 19.

Danny, don't be too rough on him.

Deep down, he is afraid of being hurt, and the only way he knows how to protect

himself is by controlling the situation.

So am I supposed to feel sorry for him?

No.

Be careful.

I'll get you back to work.

I love you. I love you.

I'll see you soon.

All right.

No, it's okay.

I've

got

an idea.

Why don't we both play hooky and drive down to Santa Barbara?

I know this terrific little bed and breakfast. They make the greatest

strawberries, whipped cream. Great, great, great idea. I'll see if I can get

call through.

Richard. What?

Did you ever go there with Maggie?

Probably.

What's that got to do with anything?

I don't want to go.

Why not?

It'll be great.

We need it.

You know, this isn't really such a good time because I have a lot of work to do.

They just hired me and they need me.

Lauren, is this because I went someplace with Maggie?

I went a lot of places with Maggie. She was my wife.

Yeah, she was.

Now, look, I like diners, but I can't understand your wanting to work there.

It doesn't matter whether you understand or not. It helps me.

I need help.

Lots of it. I'm here.

And I told you it was going to be difficult, and it is for both of us. I

that. That's why.

I thought it would be a great idea if we went away.

It is a great idea.

But could we go to a place where you and I have never been before? And then it

would be our place.

You're right.

Again.

Honey, you do realize we're doing the right thing, don't you?

You're not having second thoughts, are you? No, no. I think Sydney is tough

enough. We should stand by her.

I think so.

The big question is, what do we do now?

I don't know.

It's just that ever since I got back from Mexico, I thought I would never be

bothered by anything again.

But losing Falcon Crest, especially to someone like Sharp.

Honey.

I guess you can always feel pain.

I need to do something different.

Change myself somehow.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

What do you mean you want to change yourself?

I don't know exactly.

I just need something different.

Something crazy.

See, it ain't about the picture, man.

Ain't about the design.

It's about the power.

It's about being able to do whatever you want without worrying about what people

think.

It ain't pretty.

And it ain't supposed to be.

You make a statement to the world with one of these.

Hey, here are those weekly numbers.

I think they're really pretty good. Why don't you take a look at them?

What have I done to you that you should treat me like this?

I'm not treating you like anything. I just want you to... I should never have

run out on you when you were little. We've been through all that.

You still holding a grudge?

No, I don't hold a grudge.

I gave you a place to live, a car, a job, a whole company to cut your teeth

I asked one small thing in return.

Well, you know, I really don't feel you have the right to ask that.

You're right.

You mean that?

Yes, I do.

I should have known better.

It wasn't fair.

I thought maybe it would be different with you.

The fact is, it's always a mistake to ask.

So I'm ordering you, get rid of little lady Macbeth. This is not a discussion.

It's an order.

Yeah, anywhere you've been, I was getting worried.

Nothing to worry about.

I don't know about that.

You seemed in a funny mood when you left here.

What? Nothing.

Nothing? Why do I get the feeling that this is something you're not telling me

then, huh?

Hey, what are you doing?

Check them out.

What are those?

These are nothing. Check this one out.

Honey, this isn't even funny. Go in the bathroom and wash them off.

They don't wash off.

What are you talking about?

Honey, I'm still a little sore.

You mean to tell me that you're serious? I mean, this is real?

They're real, babe.

Get used to it.

What? What is it?

I thought you loved me.

Of course I love you. What? I just don't understand you.

Look at him. Don't be afraid of him.

Don't touch one of them.

Oh, my God.

It's just you and me, babe.

What did I marry, huh?

You'll get used to them.

They're awesome.

The boys love Pilar.

They'll be fine. Don't worry about them. Oh, no, I know. More shirts.

More shirts.

Don't you worry about a thing. Let's just get away, all right? Let the rest

the world disappear for a few days.

All right? All right. Good.

Besides, you're gonna love this room.

Got a fireplace, sunken tub, jacuzzi, overlooks the ocean. Wait a minute. You

said you'd never been there.

That's what the travel agent told me.

Richard. What?

You didn't book it through a travel agent. I heard you on the phone. You

it.

You went there with Maggie.

Lauren, that was a long time ago.

When, on your honeymoon? I don't know. I guess so.

Now.

What are you doing to me?

I'm not Maggie. Do you know that? Do you realize that? Of course I do. Then why

do you dress me in her clothes? Why do you take me places that you went with

her? I like these clothes. I like these places. What's wrong with that?

Why does everybody want me to be someone else?

Richard, if I'm going to stay here, it is because you want me. I can't compete

with a dead woman. Now, I'm sorry, but if things are going to work out...

It would be like having her die all over again. I

can't bear that.

I don't want you to... forget her ever or the boys i

just don't want to have to be here oh i'm so sorry

This is the way it's got to be, I know that.

I want everything to work for us.

Nick, Don Falconcrest.

It really is war.

Then let it begin.

Watch us get away from him.

I am not talking about fair change here. I'm talking about enough to be really

free. You know, I shouldn't be telling you all this. This act of treason will

not go unpunished.

You're good, but not worth dying for.

Can I just collect my money and go?

Your money? I guess I'm just going to have to have my little chat with Michael

Sharp then.

If you do that, I'm dead.
