Original subtitles

-What's the matter? -Emma's not feeling too well.

-How is she, doctor? -She's fine. She's pregnant.

-Did she say who this man is? -No, but she's frightened.

Turner Bates. As if she didn't have enough problems of her own.

Turner raped you.

-He wouldn't do that. -You can't have this baby.

-A doctor will take care of it. -That will never happen.

She can't have this baby.

Another grandchild, another heir.

We could be cut off completely.

You let me go!

Emma. You're not trying, Emma!

-Let me go! -You're not trying!

Turner!

Turner.

Turner, no.

Please, don't.

Turner, no.

You're hurting me.

Turner.

Turner, please.

No. No, Turner.

Turner, stop it!

No, I don't like this!

-Emma. Emma. -No! No!

-It's okay. It's me. -No! No!

It's me, Emma.

You were just dreaming.

Just dreaming.

-I was just dreaming. -That's right.

You ought to talk about your dreams sometime.

Just my dreams.

Hey. Hey, what's the problem?

-There's no problem. -It's personal.

Take care of your business on your own time.

These men are on the clock, you're on my property.

I'm leaving.

-Who is that guy? -Oh, just a friend.

He didn't seem very friendly.

Well, that's just his way.

Manuel.

If you're in any trouble....

Everything's fine, Mr. Gioberti.

There's no trouble here.

Just these weeds.

Keep an eye on Emma for me, will you?

Don't worry about Emma, Grandmother.

-I'll take care of her. -Oh, alright. Thanks.

Mother, Emma is having her nightmares again.

-She's just not... -Not getting enough rest.

She'll be fine. We'll all be fine.

Mm-hmm.

-Now, I'll see you Monday. -Mother.

Would you mail this letter for me?

It's a poem I wrote to Turner Bates.

Oh, Emma, darling.

Emma.

Turner is gone.

Everyone knows Turner.

He's king of the road.

Just walks into any town, makes himself at home...

...knows everyone by nightfall. Just...

Just drop it in any mailbox, Mother. He'll get it.

Emma, let's go back upstairs. Okay?

How's tricks, Lance?

Read that in a book. It's so much fun to say.

How's tricks?

Emma, don't use that expression. It isn't very ladylike.

-How's tricks with you, Mother? -Emma, come on.

Let's... Let's go back upstairs. Okay?

Upstairs.

You know, I can do it myself, Lance.

Have a nice time in the city, Mother.

She's not getting any better. You know that, don't you?

What she needs is a lot of rest.

Come on, Vickie.

I'm gonna get you to the library now.

What library?

You're supposed to be studying for your chemistry exam.

I'd rather study anatomy.

Come on, Vickie, stop it. Will you listen to me?

Now, you gotta get out of high school,

which means you've gotta study.

I got a scholarship to hang on to, which means I gotta study.

Mario, it's a beautiful day. Come on, lighten up, will you?

We could go horseback riding, we could have a picnic...

...anything but study.

Look. All I know is...

...unless I finish college, I'll end up in the vineyards...

...barely making a living, along with the rest of my people.

I want more than that.

You are really hung up on this ethnic stuff, aren't you?

-So is the rest of the world. -Well, I'm not.

Mario, all I care about is you and me.

Us.

Maybe we better head for the library.

What library?

-Can I give you a hand? -Sure.

I was up at the firebreak this morning.

-How's it going up there? -It's coming along.

That new man you hired, Manuel, was being hassled by some guy.

-One of the other workers? -No. I've never seen him before.

I asked Manuel what it was all about, but he wouldn't tell me.

I'll talk to him.

Gus, if there's any trouble, I'd like to know about it

-so we can get it resolved. -I'll check it out.

Fine.

-Maggie. -Hi, Julia.

-I didn't know you were coming. -I wasn't planning to.

I ran into Emma on the road and I just gave her a lift.

-Well, thank you. -Sure.

Where were you?

I... I went to visit Vickie.

Oh?

Oh, the mail came.

Isn't that my hat?

Oh, I thought it was mine.

Nice try.

Angela isn't around by any chance, is she?

-No. She's in San Francisco. -Oh, well.

Was there something I can help you with?

Yeah, maybe you can.

I'm doing this feature article on vineyard crews...

...and the only vineyard worker I know is my own husband. So....

What about Gus?

Yeah, I thought about him...

...but people would be more interested in reading

about Falcon Crest crews.

A little more glamorous, you know?

Julia.

I'll be upstairs if you need me.

Alright, dear.

-Come on in. -Okay.

Oh, Emma, I'll be in the lab.

-Thanks for the ride. -It's nothing at all.

See you later.

Oh, so how's your Spanish?

Oh, please, I haven't gotten to the point...

...where I can order from the menu of La Choza's restaurant.

I can help you if you need translation.

Oh, that would be great.

What's the matter?

Don't think Emma's feeling too well.

-Oh. -Emma. Oh, my God. Emma!

And I promise you, Cole...

...Vickie's gonna get through chemistry this year.

She better.

Hey, I got faith. Just tell that to my teacher.

Hey, I got through.

Hey, Julio!

Hey, I'll be right back. Okay?

I speak English, Nunouz.

Hey, well, so do I, man.

-Come on, meet my friends. -No.

You don't want your rich friends hanging out with me.

What are you talking about? What's your problem, man?

I'm a picker, man. Didn't anybody tell you?

Rich people don't eat with pickers.

Hey, come on. Hey, you remember me?

I'm a picker too. Three generations back, Julio.

That was a long time ago.

You're a college man now.

Go back to your new friends.

I thought we were supposed to be friends.

You thought wrong.

What was that all about?

I'm not sure.

For an old friend, he didn't exactly

come on like Mr. Warmth.

No, not exactly.

I thank God that you found Emma and brought her home.

I mean, she could have been lying by the side of the road.

Oh, poor Emma.

-How is she, doctor? -She's fine. She's pregnant.

Emma's pregnant?

Oh, my God!

What did she say?

Turner Bates.

Damn him!

As if she didn't have enough problems of her own.

Julia, I'm not sure having a baby

is gonna be such a crisis for Emma.

Do you honestly think that she is qualified to raise a child?

She has your support, support of her family.

It could be helpful. It could pull her right into reality.

You miss the point.

The only opinion that counts

is the one that belongs to Angela Channing.

Oh, surely Angela has Emma's best interests in mind.

Doesn't she?

Compassion has never been Angela's forte.

You see, Angela will do anything...

...anything at all, to protect the family name.

And it doesn't really matter who she hurts in the process.

Well, thank you, Chao-Li, I'm glad she's feeling better.

Okay.

Would you ask Julia to call me? Good. Bye-bye.

Emma?

Yeah. She's feeling much better.

-At least that's some good news. -Why? What's the matter?

Three more of our vineyard workers quit last night.

You think Angela has something to do with it?

How's the story coming, Mom?

Oh, okay.

Lot of footwork, though.

I'll try to get more interviews today.

Find out why our men are quitting.

My assignment's on lifestyle of the workers...

...not labor relations.

Sounds like a piece of fluff on the wine country.

It is not a piece of fluff. I'll write whatever I find.

It'd be easy to find out why our guys are walking off the job.

-Excuse me. Wait. -Seems simple enough to me.

Before you start dividing the property...

...could I have the keys to the car?

-Where are you going? -A picnic with Mario.

You've been spending a lot of time with him.

It's Sunday, Dad.

-Thought I'd visit Emma later. -Good.

There's more to life than homework, you know.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to put you on the spot, but....

It's okay. I like it when you yell at me.

-I'll see what I can find out. -Okay.

Is something wrong?

Oh, no. Nothing's wrong.

Talk to me!

I'm sorry.

I guess I just don't have a lot to say.

It's your friends, isn't it?

They're hassling you about me.

Listen, I wouldn't care even if they were.

There's just...

There's just a lot of tradition that I can't ignore, that's all.

Mario, tradition has nothing to do with it.

Your father works for my father. That's the problem.

No, that's not the problem.

You know, you're forgetting.

There's a lot of cultural differences between us, Vickie.

Maybe we should stop seeing each other.

Do you think so?

Sure.

Make your friends happy.

Your parents would be happy.

You'd please everybody.

Everybody but yourself.

You know, I don't think you know what you want, do you?

Yeah, I know what I want.

I want you.

Good.

I'm sorry.

I know.

They're still at the church.

-How many are in your family? -Eight.

Eight. And you all live here?

And your fathers and brothers all work at Falcon Crest?

-All of us. -All of you?

Why don't you come and sit here? That's a good girl.

Why aren't you in school, Esperanza?

I went to school. Now there's no money.

All of us have to work in the vineyards.

Children, too.

I don't understand. Falcon Crest pays their workers good money.

And if there are eight of you working....

She says we would have money for everything.

I can go to school if the man didn't take our money.

The man...

It's alright. Don't be afraid. Tell me about the man.

The man will tell Immigration about us

if we don't give him money.

Esperanza, who is this man?

Please, you must go now.

I'd really like to help.

You must go.

Tell your grandmother that I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to cause any harm.

Okay? It'll be alright.

I'm sorry.

-Grandmother, welcome home. -Thank you, Lance.

We didn't expect you back till Monday.

I canceled dinner with your grandfather.

I tried to call you at your apartment.

What's wrong?

Perhaps you'd better sit down.

You know I have a lot to do.

If you have something to say, say it.

Emma is pregnant.

Emma?

Turner Bates.

Turner.

Well, where is she? How is she?

She's upstairs in her bedroom.

The doctor says she's fine.

I know a doctor who'll take care of it.

That will never happen.

Are you sure?

Yeah. What else could it be?

They're being threatened with deportation.

I gather it's just one man.

-Did she say who this man is? -No

No. But she's really frightened.

I think they all are.

That's why we're losing our men. It's a shakedown.

Angela's having the same problem...

...because that little girl's whole family

works for Falcon Crest.

-Where are you going? -I'm going to Gus' place.

Well, I'm coming with you.

I'm not coming with you.

-Emma. -Mother.

-Did Julia tell you? -Yes.

Are you angry with me?

Oh, darling, did you think I would be?

-But you hated Turner. -I didn't hate him.

I just didn't think that he was good enough for you.

But, Mother, you didn't really know him.

I loved him so much.

We won't think about that anymore.

That's in the past. We're gonna think about the future.

Oh, Mother, I wish that Uncle Jason were here.

-He would be so happy for me. -Emma...

...I said, we're going to think about the future.

I'm asking you a simple question, Gus.

I told you, there's nothing to worry about.

Somebody's extorting money from the undocumented workers.

-That's something. -Not your problem.

Somebody's putting the squeeze on my men, it is my problem.

You don't understand. This is nothing new. Stay out of it.

-I wanna help. -You can't.

You'll only make it worse.

The other morning, when I broke up

that trouble with Manuel?

Did that have anything to do with this?

Manuel plays the ponies.

I guess losing can be expensive and painful.

-Who's the other guy? -I don't know.

Manuel was gone by the time I got there.

Yeah. And he quit my crew last night.

Thanks for your help, Gus.

Hey.

You know, maybe Chase could help.

-If you know who's behind... -What's the matter? Bored?

You've got three more brakes to adjust. Do it. Now!

Alright.

This could be a disaster.

Emma doesn't seem to think so.

She thinks this baby could change her life.

What about our life, Mother?

She can't have this baby.

I don't think you have anything to say about it, do you?

Don't you see?

Another grandchild, another heir.

We could be cut off completely.

Mother would never do that.

We can't be sure of that now, can we?

I'm not willing to let her have the chance.

We could put the baby up for adoption.

No way.

Ten, 15 years from now,

we'll get a call from some kid's lawyer...

...claiming the birthright to Falcon Crest.

That will never happen.

Because Emma's child is going to remain in this family.

Mother, is this a time for sentimentality?

Sentiment has nothing to do with it.

Why would you let Emma have this baby?

For several reasons.

I think the baby would be good for Emma.

Also, it's a Channing.

And another option for me...

...if you fail to earn your place here.

So, what did you do, hit the jackpot?

I'm doing some people some favors, college boy.

What can I do for you?

Well, I was looking for some help, Julio.

Chase Gioberti came to our place a while ago.

He thinks somebody is extorting money from his labor crew...

...by threatening them with deportation unless they pay up.

-No! -Yeah.

Well, Gioberti's a newcomer to the valley.

He don't know how things work around here.

Well, I do.

Anybody in the extortion business...

...is gonna have the Federal Immigration to deal with.

And who's gonna talk to them about it?

I will...

...if I have to.

Hi. How are you feeling?

Overwhelmed.

What's the problem?

I'm trying to think of a name for my baby.

A name is very important, you know.

If I had a name like Sarah...

...I'd probably be a novelist by now.

Instead, I'm just plain old Emma.

Well, I like Emma.

Emma's about as old-fashioned as you can get.

What do you think of the name...

...Leslie Bates?

I like Leslie, but I think Bates is all wrong.

I know how you feel about Turner.

But his baby's all I have left of him.

At least he gave me that.

Grandmother would like it if you used the name Channing.

What are you doing here?

I care about you, Emma. That's what I'm doing here.

I know you better than that.

You're just afraid of my baby.

Emma, a baby is a big responsibility.

I don't think you're ready for it yet.

You're just mad because Turner wrecked your car.

Well, Mother bought you a new car.

But this is all I have left of him.

Turner raped you, Emma.

He wouldn't do that.

You can't have this baby.

"Leslie...

...Lester, Levander...

...Leviathin...

...Lorenzo...

...Lever, Levi, Lewis."

Just a minute!

-Where's your father? -Why?

I've got an idea who's been bleeding the workers.

-What are you talking about? -I can't explain.

Where's your father?

Mom and Dad went up to Falcon Crest.

Mario!

Chase, Maggie, come on in.

Sit down. Make yourself comfortable.

Thanks.

Well, Julia tells me you're doing a story

on the vineyard workers. Sounds interesting.

It's turned out to be more than interesting. It's explosive.

It probably is.

I wish you wouldn't pursue the story here.

Why not?

Well, a vineyard is dependent upon the people who nurture it.

I don't wanna jeopardize my relationship

with any of my workers.

Take that up with my editor at the Globe.

He gave me the assignment.

I see.

Actually, we're not here to discuss Maggie's story, Angela.

-Oh? -No.

Somebody's been extorting money from our vineyard workers.

Yours and mine.

Why haven't I heard about this?

It has something to do with access.

You're fairly insulated, I work in the fields.

I hear things you don't.

And I've been researching the story, so....

-Well, who is it? -I don't know.

Every worker I've encountered is thoroughly intimidated.

I've lost a lot of men lately.

Well, there has been a big turnover this season.

What can I do to help?

If we offered a reward, we might get to the bottom of it quickly.

Well, Maggie, let me explain something to you.

My grandfather built Falcon Crest.

But he didn't do it alone.

In those days, the manual labor in the vineyards were Chinese.

It was their gateway to America.

And it's the same today.

So if we call attention to ourselves...

...we're liable to jeopardize all the people

who are dependent upon us...

...and whom we're dependent upon. You see?

-Mother. -That means you won't get...

-Mpther, I've made a decision. -What is it?

-I'm gonna name my baby Jason. -We're gonna talk about this...

Uncle Jason would be so happy for me, if he were alive.

-Emma. -Hi, cousins.

-How's tricks? -Now, Emma.

-How are you feeling, Emma? -Wonderful.

Are you crazy?

Hey, would you stop it?

Stand back.

Are you crazy, man?

-Let go of me. -Come on!

-What are you doing, Delgado? -Call it a lesson in life.

If you go to lapolicia, I'll kill you.

Darling, please, try to eat something.

Mario went looking for you over three hours ago.

I don't know what could've happened to him.

I talked to Angela. He never showed up.

But he went there straight from here.

He said he knew who has been driving

the workers away or something.

Why didn't you say something before?

I thought that you already knew.

Maybe he went right to the sheriff.

Yeah, but I think we would've heard something by now.

Gus is on his way over, Dad. He sounded pretty upset.

There are 500 cases of chardonnay

in the storage room that don't belong there.

I want them on the loading dock by sunrise.

Turner, darling.

I know you're here.

Turner.

You said you'd be here.

Turner?

Please, Turner.

Turner, I need you.

Alicia stayed home in case Mario shows up there.

He told Vickie he knows who's been harassing the workers.

He could be in real trouble with that knowledge.

Gus, anything you know could help us find him.

Unless, you still don't think there's any problem here.

I've been turning my head the other way for too long.

You don't know who this character is?

The men won't talk to me about it.

The last thing they want is to be known as informers.

Well...

...whoever it is, he's getting pretty heavy-handed.

-Mario. -Mario.

Go get him a wet cloth. Let's clean him up.

Turner.

Please...

I need you.

Uncle Jason.

Uncle Jason...

...it's okay.

It isn't what you think.

Turner and I are gonna get married.

Uncle Jason.

It's al... It's alright.

No. Uncle Jason, stop.

Stop what?

Come on, Emma. Stop what?

What did Uncle Jason do?

Emma, you can tell me about it.

Come on. It'll make you feel a lot better.

No.

No, I...

I... I really don't remember.

Sure you do, Emma. It didn't happen that long ago.

Try to remember.

-I'm not supposed to. -Who says?

I wanna go back to my room now.

Emma, you're not trying.

You let me go!

Emma, you're not trying.

-Emma, you're not trying! -Let me go!

-No. -Emma!

Chao-Li, open the door.

Get my grandmother.

Get on the phone and call the doctor.

-What's happened? -Get on the phone.

God, is she alright?

-What's happening? -I don't know. It's Emma.

-Dr. Mandonio... -Mario.

...report to Intensive Care.

Dr. Mandonio, report to Intensive Care.

I'm okay, Dad. Can't we just go home?

Mario, I'd like to ask you a few questions.

I'm sorry. I didn't see a thing.

You came to my house, looking for me.

Vickie said you know who's been taking the money.

Look, I was wrong. I made a mistake.

Alright? I'm sorry.

No, son. I've been wrong.

It's my mistake for letting this go on.

Mario...

...you can help put a stop to this thing.

Who is it, Mario?

Look, I said I don't know.

Honey. Gus?

Let me try to talk to him.

Okay.

Ooh! That eye is gonna be a beaut.

You're telling me?

Be lucky to get it open in the morning.

Somebody gave you a real beating.

Somebody.

Like I told the sheriff, Mr. Gioberti...

...I didn't see a thing.

I'm disappointed.

I thought you were a bright guy with a big future.

I never took you for a liar or a coward.

Who are you protecting?

Vickie.

They threatened her, Chase.

And they threatened my parents too.

What did they say?

I was lucky to get away with my life.

They know who Vickie is, they know where to find her.

Your silence is protecting guys

who've threatened people you care about.

Guy who've beat you up, nobody else.

Mario, they've gotta be stopped.

You don't understand, Chase.

These people aren't playing any games.

They mean business.

I'm not interested in putting your family

or my family in any kind of danger.

But it can only get worse, you know that.

You heard your father.

He said he's made a mistake. Don't you make the same one.

I need a name, Mario.

You're the guy who's talking about helping his people.

Nothing will change until we speak out

when we can make a difference.

You're just as guilty as they are.

Julio Delgado.

Where we can find him?

-He hangs out at the Hideaway. -Thanks.

Let's go.

-Gus. -It's my fight too, Chase.

I know.

Take care of Mario.

Will you pour yourself a drink, read a magazine...

...feed your bird, anything, but stop that pacing.

Sorry.

-Do you think she'll be okay? -We'll soon find out.

You blame me for this, don't you?

We all know how much you wanted her to have that baby.

What do you think I did? Push her?

She was alright when she went into the winery.

Something happened in there!

How is she?

-She's sleeping. -I gave her a sedative.

No reason why she shouldn't come out of this in good health.

What about the baby?

But this could push Emma over the edge.

I think she's stronger than you think she is, Julia.

She'll be fine.

Now, don't expect miracles, Angela.

Even under normal circumstances...

...there are tremendous emotional repercussions.

And we all know Emma's had more than her share of traumas.

Her uncle's death.

Turner Bates.

And now this. Losing her baby.

She's gonna need a lot of help.

Well, we'll certainly give it to her.

Professional help, Angela.

Goodnight, doctor. Thank you for coming.

Julio Delgado?

Does this look like a private club to you?

I don't know everybody's name in here.

Listen, pal, you want me to check some IDs?

Yeah, that's him.

You better stay back here, out of the way.

Hey, he's all yours.

Julio Delgado?

Julio Delgado? I think he went that way.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

Hey. Hey. Chase.

Hey!

You want to be a hero?

Hey. Get the knife. Get it!

Get off him.

Get him!

-Hey, are you alright? -Yeah.

We're gonna have him on one of the next planes south.

What do you think?

-Will he be back? -Probably.

Up here, it's easy pickings.

Why don't you prosecute him?

He'd be out on bail in 24 hours, right back on the job.

I don't understand.

Exploits his own people.

I just don't get it.

It doesn't seem fair.

Not much up here is.

I was hoping you'd still be here.

Lance...

...about what I said earlier this evening...

...I really didn't mean it.

I didn't push her down the stairs, Mother.

She was wandering around the winery, talking to Jason...

-...about, I don't know about... -I know, I know.

Sometimes she seems so normal...

...so lucid, and then...

I don't know, some other times, she...

It's like she's not even a member of this family.

You know, we're all a little bit like Emma.

-What are you talking about? -Grandmother.

She keeps Emma locked up in her room...

...you get locked up in your laboratory...

...and...

...I get the carrot and stick treatment.

Surely you can't blame your grandmother

for what happened this evening.

Why not?

She's blaming me for it.

Well, you'll feel differently in the morning.

Remember, it's her carrot.

What if I told you that I don't care about any of this anymore?

Oh, Lance.

Just keep in mind...

...she's got the stick too.

-Mother? -I'm here, darling.

Mother, I feel so sleepy.

The doctor gave you something to help you to rest.

What happened?

You had an accident.

In the winery?

I was trying to remember about the night that Uncle Jason died.

Did you say anything to Lance about it?

Lance?

He was there, wasn't he?

He was asking me about Uncle Jason.

I got scared and I ran.

It's...

It's dead, isn't it?

Emma.

My baby.

It's dead?

Yes.

And I'm sorry.

Oh, Mother...

...I wanted so much to have someone to love.

And someone...

...to love me.

But we love you, darling.

I love you.

No, Mother, you love Falcon Crest.

You love a place...
