Previously on Falcon Crest.

You know who's funny is? Your knight in shining armor.

Where am I gonna go?

It's your problem.

I own Falcon Crest. You manage it. If you don't like that arrangement, I'll

to find someone else who does.

I want things back the way they were.

Back the way they were never included me.

I will marry you. I think we have something in common. To see to it that

wedding never takes place.

No, no, no. Forget about Germany.

Reunification, diversification, who cares? I'll tell you where the money is.

In all those Eastern Bloc countries whose names you can't pronounce.

Latvia, Lithuania, Albania, Transylvania.

Those people are hungry for everything and talk about cheap labor.

No, that's 52 and a half. I went up a half point this morning. Look, Bernie,

what I want from you are people who can speak those languages, you know,

interpreters. I want them to understand business. I prefer they were American.

And young and shapely wouldn't hurt either.

Yeah. All right, later.

What are you looking at?

Nothing, Mr. Sharp.

Then get back to work on it.

How's it coming, Brian?

Well, I'm in good shape on this red badge still.

Great.

What do you want?

What the hell do you think you're doing?

I'm going to sit in this chair until you tell me what I want to know.

Was that right?

Tough guy.

Yeah.

Brian, call security.

You got three seconds, Brian, or you're out of a job.

This is Michael Sharp's office. Could you please send security a flight of

lights? Thank you.

What are you so afraid of?

What are you so afraid of?

Why won't you talk to me? Why do you treat me like dirt?

Did I do something wrong?

Did I mess up? Tell me so I can learn. I can handle it.

You know, all I ever wanted to do is to make you proud of me.

To please you.

I waited 19 years to get a chance. That's my whole life.

Did something happen?

I know. You can just wipe your hands and be free of me, but what do you think

I'm going through every minute of every day that you don't tell me?

I'm going to go nuts.

Is that what you want?

Is that what you really want?

Let's just get out of the building.

I don't want to see him around here again.

How can you live with yourself?

I mean, how can you be so filled with hate?

I'll walk out on my own.

Show's over.

So this is it, huh?

You move in with my dad and I'm out on the street.

You can stay till the end of the month.

It's paid for.

How's the job search going?

You're moving in with him and the guy won't even see me.

So what are you going to do?

Lay around here and feel sorry for yourself?

Three weeks ago, he never wanted to see me again.

The wheel turns.

Oh, this is good.

Janina Erickson.

Philosopher, mistress.

What else do you do? Ride horses? Play golf?

Are you through?

Are you hungry?

I can fix you something to eat.

You know what I want?

What?

A hug.

Hey,

come here.

Now, there's no point in you staying here, so why don't you go back east and

your mom? She'll steer you in the right direction.

She just left for a six -month sabbatical to Italy.

I don't even know how to get a hold of her.

Besides, I don't want to give my father that kind of satisfaction.

Okay, well, then what do you want? I want some answers.

Have you asked him straight out?

He waves me off. Well, don't let him.

You can't not let a man like my father.

He does what he wants.

Then you have to play as hard as he does.

Don't let him off the hook. Stay in his face until you get exactly what you

want.

Otherwise, you're going to go crazy.

I don't know, Richard. A big wedding is an awful lot of work.

Anything worthwhile is a lot of work.

I'd rather just go downtown and get a license than to have some precious 20

-person dinner party wedding.

Look, we're going to send a message with this wedding.

We're going to be running Falcon Crest.

Running the winery, running the world.

I see, the world.

And this wedding is going to be a memo to the business community.

No, of course not.

Maybe a little bit.

I want a party.

I want a big party, a celebration, spare no expense, pull out all stops.

Because that's how I feel about you.

But I don't need a big wedding for you to show me how you feel. I do.

Okay.

Great.

I'll go put the boys to bed.

Richard, I want Michael to give me away.

How does he feel about that?

I haven't asked him yet. I thought I'd check with you first.

Danny, this is a nice surprise.

Can I come in?

Yes, of course you can.

What's wrong?

I don't even know where to go.

I'm out in the cold.

Has my dad said anything to you?

About what?

I don't know about what.

About me?

About pretending he doesn't know me anymore?

I don't think no one's telling me, Lauren.

I'm freaking out.

I'm really freaking out.

Danny, I want you to go in there, and I want you to sit down.

And I'll be right back, and I will talk to you.

Who was at the door?

Danny.

I thought I ran him out of town.

What'd he want?

Oh, God, this is gonna be hard.

What's so hard?

Richard, I want you to stay here, and I'm going to talk to Danny, and then I'm

going to come back, and I'm going to talk to you.

Okay.

I guess.

Come on in.

What's going on?

I don't know exactly how to say this.

Before your mom and dad got married, your mother had a relationship with

Richard.

Richard Channing?

Danny, please, now just listen, because this is going to be difficult.

Ann went on to marry Michael, and shortly afterwards, they had a baby.

You, Danny?

What are you saying?

I am saying that Richard is your father.

Only Anne knew, and that is what she told Michael before she left, and that

why Michael is acting the way he is.

I don't believe it.

She had you tested as a baby. It was conclusive.

Why didn't she ever tell me?

It doesn't make any sense.

It's not true. It is true, Danny. I'm sorry.

Saying that this is my father.

No way.

Danny.

No way.

Those are my sentiments, exactly.

How long have you known about this? I've known a couple of days. I didn't know

what to do. Now, I'm sorry. Why didn't you tell me instead of laying this on

him?

I mean, how do you know Ann wasn't just making this up so she could get a rise

out of Michael?

You should have told me first before you laid something like that on that boy.

There's no experience in life that taught me how to handle something like

Now, I did the best I could. What you were upset about has nothing to do with

me. What should I be upset about?

Who should I be angry at? How should I react to this? Tell me. Richard, I know

it's a shock.

That's very perceptive. Is that why you asked me to hide out in the bathroom?

Because you think I'm going to be shocked when you tell the kid I'm his

The boy is your son.

The boy is not my son.

Those boys will sleep in their rooms.

Those are my sons.

This is a mess, a joke, a ridiculous joke, Danny Sharp, my son.

Don't you think it's rather convenient for Ann to drop this little bomb and

leave town?

Now, Richard, you listen to me.

Do you think I wanted to know this?

We all have to come to terms with it. I don't have to come to terms with it.

I'm gonna take a walk.

Danny.

Danny Channing. Danny Channing.

Danny Channing.

Thank you,

Charlie. Charlie, sit with me for a moment.

It gives me great pleasure to sit with you, to have you back.

You have no idea what we've been through here without you.

You know, you're the only one I have left. Lance and Pilar stood by you. Oh,

they want something from me.

But not you.

What... What was it like in the hospital?

Oh, it was... It was like a dream.

But it was so real.

Everybody was there.

Maggie and Chase, Stavros.

And all the fighting and the bickering was all gone.

It was just... just laughter.

Everything was filled with laughter.

I'm back now.

And we have a lot of work to do.

Look at that baby.

I know exactly how you feel.

I felt the same way when I found out a certain someone was my son.

But I accepted it.

It wasn't easy, but I did it.

Mother, I don't believe Danny Sharp is my son.

They're going to have to prove it. And even if he is, I can't treat him like a

son. It's not possible for either one of us.

Well, then just give the whole thing up. What whole thing?

Well, Danny, Michael Sharp, and...

Even Lauren.

This is not her fault, and I am not going to let this interfere with our

But it already has.

She's kept things from you, and she will probably always keep things from you.

Mother, don't interfere with my life.

Then why did you come here for advice?

I don't know.

Where are you going? Home.

Richard.

What?

We've had our fights and battles over the years.

But it always hurts me to see you in pain.

You know that, don't you?

Yes, I do.

Well, then do what I say.

And forget about the sharps, all of them.

Because it'll be for the best.

Dad, do we have to get up now? No.

I'm just checking on you.

How about giving your daddy a hug?

That's who I am.

I'm your daddy.

I'm Michael's daddy.

And Kevin's too.

And Kevin's too.

Danny, no.

I want to see him.

It's not a good idea. It's not an idea. Just step aside.

Danny, no.

I'm your friend. I have always been your friend.

And I'm telling you, you have got to give this some time.

I don't have time.

What does that mean?

Janelle, I know.

I know the truth. And guess what?

It didn't set me free.

Yeah, well, Michael won't set you free either.

Danny. Yeah.

Uh -huh.

Right.

Listen, I'll get right back to you.

Don't you have anything better to do than to keep marching into rooms that

in? I mean, I get the point. You're angry. You're going through some angst.

beautiful. Do it somewhere else. I know.

What do you know?

Well, Richard Cheney's my father, isn't he?

According to your mother.

Which is good enough for me.

Real saint, that woman.

So that's it, huh?

20 years, it was all a mistake, goodbye?

As far as I'm concerned, yeah.

I don't care what a blood test 20 years ago said.

I don't care what my mom said.

You were my dad. You were the one that I grew up believing. Hating, resenting.

The father who was never there. Don't you see, Danny, that's the point. That's

why we can drop this thing, because there was nothing there to begin with.

That's not true.

I mean, sure, I was resentful.

At least I still had a father, you.

You were in my head. I used to ache for you. Oh, come on. No.

I heard about you, or I read about you. I saw you in the news, and I was proud.

I was proud of my dad.

Even though you thought you were hiding, I was still there.

I was still your son.

What can I tell you?

I'm sorry.

It hurt me. It hurts you.

Maybe if we had more history together, then... But as it is, there's no center

to this thing. It's best for both of us to just move on.

Just like that, huh?

Just, uh, move on?

Look, you ever need any money, anything like that, you know, a good word

somewhere, maybe I can help out.

Here's, uh...

There's a couple grand.

Hope you get started.

It's just so damn sad.

Anybody but Channing. If it was anybody else but Channing, it wouldn't matter.

I mean, I could pretend, you know, I could go through the motions with the

but not him.

Michael, he loves you.

That love is based on a lie, not because I ever did anything for him.

Do you love him?

Michael can't deal with these kinds of situations.

Maybe I should sit down and talk to him. No, no. Right now, I don't think about

it.

First, I've got to start with what to do, where I'm going to live, you know,

I'm going to get a job, I don't know. Honey, this is not just a setback.

You're going to have to deal with this one straight ahead.

Well, I've tried.

I mean, you know what he's like.

I don't mean that.

This is dramatic.

You have just found out that the man you thought was your father isn't.

Now you're going to need some counseling to help you get through it.

Yeah, that's exactly what I need. More strangers in my life. Sometimes you need

a stranger to listen.

It helps relieve me, I know. Yeah, Lauren, that's not me.

You know, I'll work this out on my own way. Maybe I'll join the Foreign Legion.

Maybe I'll join the Coast Guard. Maybe I'll just kill myself. Danny, don't talk

like that. Lauren, I'm fine, really.

I want you to stay with us.

I can't live with him.

Listen to me.

Denial is not going to help anything.

You don't have a roof over your head. You don't have a thing to eat.

Now, you are going to stay with us. If you don't want to talk to Richard,

fine.

But I'm not taking no for an answer.

You know, it's too weird.

I'm their big brother.

Folks, this is all wrong.

Danny, I don't want you to take this personally. Richard.

You don't belong to me.

I have never been responsible for you in any way, legally, financially,

ethically.

You are Danny Sharp. You are Michael Sharp's son.

Why don't you try telling him that?

Can we just forget who Danny is for a moment?

Can't we help him as a human being?

Can't we be his friend?

I want him here.

No.

It's not right.

Look, I don't want to mess things up here. Danny, just sit down. All right.

Richard, I don't have anything against you anymore.

If I were you, I'd probably feel the same way.

I'm just bad news right now.

I'm out of here. No, Danny, please. I don't... Hey, Lauren, I love you.

Stay here.

Build a life.

Family's important.

Danny? Lauren, let him go.

Listen, the boy's got to work it out for himself.

I see your level of humanity has sunk to my brothers.

Why?

Well, I'm inhumane because I want us to have a life together.

Lauren, having Danny live here is nothing but a prescription for disaster.

It won't work.

I don't feel right about things.

What about? I don't feel good about this marriage.

Well, now, marriage has nothing to do with Danny.

Yes, it does.

You see, you are always talking about family, but Danny is the only family I

have. He and Michael.

That's all that's left.

You and Lauren are getting married.

Uh -huh. Yes.

Soon.

Oh, that's good.

Because I'm going to give the prettiest wedding this valley has ever seen.

Have you set the date yet?

Oh, mother.

What is all this wedding stuff?

Just the other day you were sitting in there telling me to forget it all. It

wouldn't work. I know, I know, but I thought about it. You know, I have no

to interfere.

If this is what you want, then this is what I want.

Well, actually, we may hold off a bit on the wedding plans.

Oh?

Why? Because we may be holding off on the wedding.

You mean you and Lauren aren't going to get married?

Not at the moment.

Well, what are you going to do about running Falcon Press?

What do you mean, what am I going to do?

Well, business doesn't stop because of a marital problem.

Now, are you running this winery or not?

I can't make a decision about that right now. Well, then who is going to run it

while you're making a decision?

Lance. He's there. He's the manager. You're here.

I mean, there's no urgency.

Unless, of course, you're trying to create some.

Why, Richard, you know I only want what's best for you.

Have you heard from Danny?

No, and I don't expect to.

He left the house last night.

What was he doing there?

I wanted him to have some place to stay because nobody else seemed to care.

Anyway, it didn't work out.

Now, let me guess.

Daddy Channing didn't want his long -lost son.

Michael, I'm worried about him.

When he left, he looked so lost, so desperate. Look, we've all been going

through a lot of pain lately. It's a part of life. He's an adult. Leave him

alone. No, would you stop trying to wash your hands of him? You shouldn't be

talking to me about this. You should be talking to Mr. Channing about his

responsibilities. I already did.

He doesn't want to have anything to do with Danny.

How does that make you feel?

I'm disappointed.

But you're still going to marry the guy, right?

I don't know anymore. Well, hallelujah.

At least something good came out of this.

That's it.

That's all you have to say.

Anytime you want to move back in, you let me know.

I'm still the only family you've got. Don't forget that.

What about Danny?

Lawrence?

How's Danny?

I don't know where he is.

And nobody seems to care. Not Michael, not Richard.

I've tried to get a hold of Ann. No one knows where she is. She's off in Europe.

I've got a real bad feeling to you.

I don't know. He's a tough kid.

Maybe it's all those years of neglect that made him so strong.

I see him as a survivor.

He's a teenager.

He's a little lost boy with no place to go and no one to help him.

And he's reeling from the shock of his life and... I'm afraid it's going to be

too much for him.

Do you have any idea where he might be?

No.

Well, if I hear anything, I'll let you know.

I wish there was something I could do.

Danny. How you feeling?

Like hell.

What are you doing here?

No offense.

Just surprised to see you.

Need a job.

Why do you need a job, man?

I'm broke. Is that a good enough reason?

What about your dad?

Mr. Money, king of the C -notes. Well, let's just say we're not being eye to

these days.

Oh.

Look, I'll do anything. I'll carry craze. I'll sweep up the floors. I'll

downstairs. Whatever.

Hey, that'd be kind of a step down for the ex -president of a company, don't

think? Think so.

When I was running this place, nobody treated me like the president.

Danny, you had a shot at it.

That's more than most people could say.

Hey, man, if you're going to take shots at me, then at least let me get minimum

wage for it.

I don't have anything for you, man.

I'm sorry.

Besides, Richard wouldn't go for it.

What's up with that guy? Was he born on the wrong side of the bed?

No, he was just born on the wrong side of Michael Sharp.

Struck out again.

Listen. Let me give you some advice, man, from a guy who's been there before.

When you're down and out,

never show it.

Hit the bars, you know, chase the women, have a good time.

Spend it like there's no tomorrow.

Spend what?

Come on, man, you're pathetic. Keep your chin up. Be all right. See you later.

Oh, have you heard anything from Sidney?

Not a word.

She'd understand.

Strike three, you're out.

Can I sit here?

Do I know you?

No, I just saw you sitting here alone, and I'm alone. I just thought misery

might like some company.

I'm sorry. You want to be alone.

No.

Actually, I don't, please sit.

So what's your name?

Sandra.

Hi. Hi.

And you are?

I'm Danny.

Hi, Danny.

It's my first time here.

Are you staying at the hotel?

Yeah, I just needed to get away, you know, kind of think some things over.

I hear you.

And what are you so blue about?

Wait, let me guess.

Girlfriend trouble?

No, parent trouble.

You know, the old mom and dad thing.

The getting divorced?

I've been through that one.

You know, there's one thing you've got to understand about your parents, Danny.

They mess up, just like we do.

But we can't blame all our problems on them.

We just have to be the best people we can be and move on.

I like that. It makes sense.

You are very cute.

Don't blush, you are.

You're pretty cute yourself.

Maybe my luck is changing.

You know what you need?

A good time.

Yeah.

Got any money?

For what?

Oh, wait a minute.

Oh, I don't believe this.

I thought you were a nice lady fooled again.

Hey, I am a nice lady.

No, you're not.

You look like everybody else. You're a liar.

Danny, Danny, I'm sorry you can't go in there.

I'm supposed to call security if you're in the building.

So please leave.

I'm sorry.

Danny, I'm really sorry.

Brian, I need this in the morning.

How about I let Dolores take care of it? No, no, you're the only one who can do

it. Tonight's bad, Michael.

What, you got a date or something?

Um, actually, yeah.

You do?

What's her name?

Betsy.

Brian and Betsy. I like that.

She do the hula hoop?

Well, we've only gone out for a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks and you

haven't?

She's a nice girl.

What planet's she from?

I think I really like her.

Keep thinking.

That's great, Brian. I'm really happy for you.

But you know,

One of the reasons that I hired you is I never counted on you having a personal

life.

I understand. So if this is going to become a regular thing, then... No!

I'll break the date.

Thanks, buddy.

You sure?

Yeah, what is it? Danny.

What is it? I don't want to see him.

Security just called. He's on the roof. I think he's going to jump.

Okay, don't be stupid, kid. Let's just knock it off right now.

Okay, what is it?

You scramble your brains for breakfast? You want, uh, electroshock therapy?

Betty Ford Center? You name it, you got it. Let's get out of here. I love you

too, pops.

You really think you're gonna solve anybody's problems jumping off that

Yeah, my problems.

Kid's just playing. Let's get out of here.

Come on. Let's go. Go.

What do you want?

I want everybody up here, everybody now, or else I fly just like this.

Check this out, Mike.

Big party in my honor.

All of a sudden, everybody loves me.

Where's Channing?

He's on his way.

I just don't want him to miss the main event.

Danny, what are you trying to prove, huh?

That you're a big man? That you're not afraid to die?

Who are you?

I'm Lieutenant Thane, Situation Control.

What seems to be the problem?

We got a lunatic here who's looking to test his wings. What's it look like?

Your father?

Yeah. He's lying.

Which is it?

I'm Michael Sharp. That's Danny Sharp.

Uh, Danny, you're gonna have to trust me. This is no solution.

Would someone get this guy out of here?

I'm not in the mood to hear some SWAT team text manual trying to talk the

down for the roof BS.

Well, what is it that you want, Danny? I want Michael Sharp and Richard Channing

in front of me.

We've got some things to work out.

Who's Richard Channing?

You don't want to know.

Who's Richard Channing? Oh, he's my other father.

I've got two.

Double the fathers, double the pay.

Come here.

You're going to have to talk him down.

I've got to.

What, is that all you've got to offer?

Big professional, Mr. John Wayne, here to save the day. That's it?

I'm not the reason he's up there.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Lieutenant.

Wait a minute, now, has this Channing guy been contacted?

Yeah, he's on his way.

Better hurry up.

I'm getting dizzy.

Danny?

I'm Richard Canning.

We're related to the boy.

I'm sorry, sir. Not until you're cleared. I've got to talk to my

I knew he was going to do something crazy. Lauren, you've got to be strong.

I am strong.

If you go up with the lady, he has to stay here. All right.

I know you saw all of us smothering him. He asked for me. If it doesn't work

out, I'll tell him you want to talk.

I'm Richard Channing.

Are you in charge?

The boy's in charge.

What can I do?

He wants us.

To do what?

Look, you're the only ones I'll talk to right now. There's no techniques.

There's no right or wrong. What he wants to do is talk himself down. You help

him.

What if it doesn't work?

Well, then you get as close as you can without panicking the boy, and then at

the appropriate moment, you have to work together, and then you grab him.

I hear whispering. What are you guys talking about over there?

Hello, Danny.

Hey, it's dad number two.

You two better get going.

How do we get up there?

On their way up.

All right, stop right there. Don't get too close.

Okay.

Wouldn't it be funny if you tried to grab me to save me and we all went

tumbling? I saw that in a movie. Yeah, that'd really be hysterical. Listen, why

don't we try getting to the point here?

There's no point to this.

It's more like a Zen thing, you know? It's got an evolution all of its own.

what it is.

All right.

So what's gonna happen here? Who wants to be my father, or are you guys gonna

split the funeral cost?

Danny, get a hold of yourself.

Oh, that's so paternal.

Discipline.

Shows you really care.

How about you, Richard?

Do you care enough to tell me to get a hold of myself?

I care enough to tell you that this isn't a good idea, Danny.

You got your whole life ahead of you.

Wow. That's inspirational.

You know, it's hard to believe I came from this guy. I don't exactly look like

him, thank goodness.

But...

I don't think I'd tell anybody who was about to jump off a building that they

had their whole life ahead of them.

You see, my whole life is below me.

Everything's in perspective. Look, you want to jump?

Jump.

All right? Just get it over with.

I don't know what we're doing up here.

Nor do I know what you're trying to prove. All I know is I'm not crazy about

heights and I'm getting cold.

Yeah, well, at least you have a nice warm home to go to.

I don't have a home thanks to the two of you. Is that what you want, a house?

Oh, you don't have a clue.

I mean, you spend your days hating each other, trying to ruin each other.

What a waste.

I mean, what a colossal joke.

What do you want, Danny? You want us to hug each other? All right, just get

back. I'll jump.

Just tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do it. Then we can get the hell

out of here. Why is keeping your enemy more important than keeping your son?

I'm not asking you guys to love each other.

just don't hate each other so much that I get tossed aside.

If that's what it takes.

Oh, spare me the lip service.

I mean, you'll say anything now, but tomorrow it's another story. No, it's

lip service.

I'm getting tired of the feuding, too.

I never thought I'd say that, but it's true. I can't tell you how many nights

I've sat up till four in the morning trying to figure out new ways of

sandbagging this guy.

You know what I mean?

Five in the morning.

The difference between you and me, Channing.

Because I get hateful and angry. That's how I get my energy. But you, you're

really crazy.

I admire that.

Thank you, Michael.

Also explains why this bullgoose loony is standing on my rooftop threatening to

turn himself into soup on my sidewalk.

Your insurance will cover it.

This has gone too far. I mean, I don't want you to be friends. I'm really

freaking out.

Don't worry about it, Danny.

Your father here has committed acts that I consider unredeemable.

We can't all be as morally uplifted as you, Richard.

In your case, that's an understatement.

All right, stay right there. Don't get too close. I'll jump.

Okay. Okay.

Can we go home now?

Where's home?

You know where home is. You know where your room is. And if you work for me,

start at the bottom.

You want to work for me?

Come by the winery and we'll figure something out.

Believe me, you don't want to work for this guy. I'm the only one who can

help you.

I just want you to love me, Dad.

Danny, I have loved you from the moment you were born.

I know I never show it.

That's all I could think about in the hospital after your accident.

When the doctor came and told me you were going to be okay, I wept.

I know.

Mom told me.

Danny, I'm sorry I kicked you out of the house.

I guess I, uh...

Didn't want to face up to the implications of it all. You're welcome

anytime.

Thanks.

Where's Lauren?

Down below.

Waiting for you.

Should we walk down or take the express?

You know, that magic looks kind of fun.

Danny, don't even think about it.

Oh, come on, you big -time macho guys.

How about a little male bonding here, huh?

Huh?

Thanks.

Well, I'm glad it worked out, Richard.

Good night.

Well, bad news.

The wedding is on.

Next on Falcon Crest. Now we're going to get married.

Be a family. We are going to put a little trouble in his paradise.

Why do you let her use you? Can't you see she's dangling Falcon Crest in front

of you like it's a mirage?

I will stay on as manager of Falcon Crest for 10 % now and another 40 %

you pass on, Grandmother.

Take it or leave it.

You're my heart. You're my father.

So whether you like it or not, you better get used to it.

Arrogant, stupid bastard!

I love you, Richard, but I cannot be your wife.
