What if it is true?

What if Angela was behind my father's death?

-Mother, I'm guilty. -You're not guilty of anything.

They're keeping something terrible from me.

There seem to be so many secrets.

What kind of secrets?

It's just a matter of time until she tells someone.

Emma is not telling anything to anybody.

What'd you say if I tell my father was murdered?

-What will you do? -Go to the district attorney.

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth...

...nothing but the truth, so help you God?

We have to do something about it, Melissa.

Being pregnant doesn't require something be done.

It kind of takes care of itself.

Well, the longer you wait, the tougher it's gonna be.

After this honeymoon is over, I think we have to make plans.

The only plan I've got...

...is to start shopping for some nice nursery furniture.

Where's your wedding ring?

Same place as yours, I suppose.

In my suitcase.

Look.

I'm gonna get something to drink. Do you want something?

A wine spritzer would be nice.

A spritzer?

How can you do that to wine?

I don't know what you're worried about, Dr. Cook.

Chase Gioberti...

...can ask some rather probing questions, Mrs. Channing.

All you have to do is tell him the truth.

The penal code requires an autopsy be done...

...in an accidental death like Jason's.

That's the truth.

Well, remember, you're just the medical examiner.

Yes, that's true.

I do take my orders from Sheriff Tobias, don't I?

Right.

I'm sure you've had the best interests...

...of our communities at heart.

I've always tried to, Mrs. Channing.

I hope you remember those interests in the future.

-Thank you for coming, doctor. -Thank you.

That feels good.

Just a little bit higher.

That's nice.

I think I'll just stick around Waikiki.

Too bad. We go to Maui the day after tomorrow.

Take a hike.

Says who?

Her husband.

You're really blowing this out of proportion.

Am I?

We've been here a week and you won't let me touch you.

What do you expect? I'm pregnant.

Being pregnant doesn't stop you, Melissa.

Every time I turn my back,

you're making eyes with some guy.

-You won't be pregnant for long. -You're wrong, Lance.

I'm having this baby.

The hell you are.

I think your grandmother will be delighted about this baby.

Besides, I have a stake in Falcon Crest now.

An heir can't hurt me either.

It's not my grandmother's flesh and blood, Melissa.

That's my word against yours.

And with your reputation, who'd believe you?

Look, I'm going downstairs to pay the bill.

I suggest you meet me down there...

...before some bellhop mistakes you for what you really are.

You see what I mean?

Almost every one of those letters from my grandfather...

...mentioned something negative...

...about the relationship between Angie and my father.

How they fought, how they argued.

There's no doubt that the two of them had a lifelong rivalry.

Even Gus called Jason's death mysterious.

I'll bet Angie's behind this.

Now, wait a minute. Let's not jump to conclusions here, okay?

But look at these letters.

And the things Emma has said.

About my father looking peaceful.

About something happening in the winery.

Even Dr. Banning said that Emma...

...might've been there when he died.

He was only making a supposition.

That's all he can make.

Angela's practically kept Emma under lock and key.

You're starting to sound a little paranoid, Dad.

What if Angela was behind my father's death?

Emma is not going anywhere, and that's my decision.

But, Mother, she's only getting worse.

It's only a matter of time until she slip-up and tells the world

Not if we're careful.

All she has to do is understand the situation.

We're home.

Well, what are you two doing back?

You're not due back for another week yet.

Yes. Well....

We got a little homesick.

Compared to Falcon Crest, our hotel was like camping out.

I've always felt that way.

There's something about it that pulls you back.

I'll put on a pot of tea.

-I'd love some. -I'm really kinda tired.

Well, of course you are. You've had a long flight.

But I wanna hear all about the honeymoon.

-Hi, Mom. -Hi.

-How's Emma doing? -Oh, she's fine.

She's asleep.

-Safely asleep. -Good.

I'm so happy you've joined the family, Melissa.

Thank you.

Now, tell me all about Hawaii.

I have never known you to cut a vacation short before.

Vacation?

Believe me, Mother, this was no vacation.

Another week there, I would have gone crazy.

My, my.

Well, marriage does take some getting used to.

Just think of it as protecting your investment here.

-What was that? -You stay down here.

-Not by myself, I'm not. -You heard me, Melissa.

Emma. Emma. It's okay.

-Emma, it's just a dream. -Uncle Jason was with me.

-In the gas chamber. -The gas chamber?

That's what they do with people like me.

Emma, darling.

-Mother. Oh, Mother, I'm guilty. -People like what?

You're not guilty of anything, Emma.

They're gonna send me to prison. I know it.

Oh, they're not. You're gonna stay right here with us.

Well...

...that's really the same thing...

...isn't it?

-Sheriff, glad I caught you. -I'm just heading out on a call.

It won't take a minute.

I wanna ask you about the night my father was killed.

I really don't have the time.

Do you have the time for a coroner's inquest?

I'm the coroner in this county.

Why haven't I heard anything about an inquest?

You just might.

I want some straight answers, Turk.

I don't wanna get the county board of supervisors...

...to request it.

Maybe we should get together. Just the two of us.

When?

I should be back around noon.

I'll be here.

Noon.

What's the matter? We usually meet on Friday.

It's Chase.

He wants to see me at noon.

He's threatening to start...

...throwing around his political weight.

I can't afford to alienate the board of supervisors.

Well, what does he want from you?

To begin with, he'd like to know why an autopsy...

...wasn't performed on his father.

Well, I didn't know you jumped every time Chase barked.

-I don't. -Well, cancel the meeting.

Board of supervisors may have a franchise in this county...

...but they haven't got the power.

I can't just stonewall Chase.

Now, he'd see right through that.

Well, just tell him the truth.

You didn't call for an autopsy,

because you didn't feel the need for one.

You told me not to.

I told you?

You're the sheriff.

Now, you saved the county a lot of money.

And you were kind enough to spare me the tribulation.

Now, you know, Turk, I've always been very grateful.

Is there something I can get for you?

No thank you, Chao-Li.

The sheriff's car is outside.

What's going on?

It's nothing for you to be concerned about.

It's a routine visit.

Good morning, Melissa.

Did you know the sheriff's here?

Yes.

I think Lance is looking for you.

I heard what went on in Emma's room last night.

I heard what she said about being guilty.

About going to prison.

What you heard was a nightmare.

There you are.

Did I interrupt one of those little...

...mother-daughter conversations?

No.

What is Emma guilty of?

What did she do? That's why the sheriff's here.

Melissa, if you must know...

...Emma is having a little trouble...

...with the shopkeepers in town.

You see, Emma's a kleptomaniac.

We've been trying to keep it within the family.

What does Chase have to do with it?

Chase? Nothing at all.

I see.

You know I'll do my best.

But I'm sure that Chase is just not gonna be satisfied.

Then I'm afraid you have a problem, sheriff.

Thanks for coming.

He came all the way out here because Emma's a shoplifter?

-What are you talking about? -Melissa, really.

I asked you if you wanted to go riding.

You know I can't go riding.

-I'm pregnant. -You're what?

Well, why didn't you say something?

Well, you didn't get married a minute too soon, did you?

Yes, my timing is impeccable.

-I'm sorry. -Hey, it's okay.

If you like dry ham on stale rye, you're in business.

I forgot completely.

I had an appointment with Sheriff Tobias...

Don't tell me you ate already. Did you?

No. We weren't supposed to eat. It... In fact, he stood me up.

I'm getting the feeling that our good sheriff...

...is doing his best to avoid me.

I'm not disturbing you, am I? Because I could...

Oh, no, no, not at all.

I was looking forward to this, as a matter of fact.

Okay.

Just figured this is about the only time...

...we can spend alone together.

Yeah. The kids.

The kids don't have anything to do with it.

-They've got their own life. -That's true.

You know how much time we spent together in the last week?

Four hours, maybe five.

You have come home from this office before midnight...

...two nights this week.

Well, I've been awfully busy.

You don't like your sandwich?

Chase, don't you see what's happening?

I am sitting right here and we are not together.

I have a lot on my mind.

Look. The board of supervisors is very important to you.

Finding out about your father is very important.

-But what about your family? -I am doing this for my family.

-That is not true, you know it. -Of course it is.

Oh, God.

I don't know.

You're becoming a complete workaholic.

I'm sorry, Maggie. I'm sorry. I know. You're right.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Chase, you came here....

You came here because you said you wanted us to pull together.

-Remember? -Yeah.

I remember.

We're pulling together.

It's just that...

...this thing is eating away at me.

It's like, when I was flying...

...occasionally a malfunctioning instrument...

...would act perfectly normal.

No red lights. No alarms.

No indication.

But I'd get a feeling...

...I don't know, an instinctual, gut-level thing...

...that something wasn't quite right.

If I trusted that instrument instead of my feelings....

You're talking about your father's death and Angela, yes.

The instruments are reading normal...

...and I've got that feeling...

...that something...

...is terribly wrong.

Chase...

...let me help you find out what's wrong.

I could go to Dr. Banning.

He said Emma might've been there when your father died.

Let me talk to him.

Yeah. Yeah.

It's gonna be a pleasure to leave this place.

Then do yourself a favor, Dad,

don't do anything to get back in here.

Thank you, nurse.

Doctor says I'm not gonna run a four-minute mile for a while.

I guess he doesn't know me.

Dad, you're recovering from a heart attack, remember?

-What else did the doctor say? -No fatty foods.

Moderate exercise like walking every day...

...20 minutes the first week, 30 minutes the next.

I think I've got a wonderful idea. Come up to Falcon Crest.

We'll put you back on the track again.

I'll walk through the newsroom in the morning.

Daddy, I don't think that's what the doctors have in mind.

You've got to break some bad habits.

Relieve the stress in your life.

I'm not sure I want that kind of life.

Oh, Daddy, do it for me.

Do it for Emma.

You come on up to Falcon Crest.

We'll live like a family again. Mother would love it. I know.

I'll come to visit, I promise you that.

I've too much to do.

Dr. Sanders, calling....

Cole, hi.

Can we talk?

I'm busy.

I need somebody to talk to and my father's in Europe.

There's something wrong, Cole.

Tell me about it.

Look, I know how you must feel...

...but I told you, my being married doesn't mean anything.

You don't know anything about feelings, Melissa.

Besides, it's actions that count, not words.

You must really think I'm a terrible person.

You didn't have to marry him.

Between the pressures I got from both families,

I didn't have any choice.

We all have choices, Melissa.

You made yours.

I came here to talk about Emma and your grandfather.

And you're gonna listen to me, whether you like it or not.

Congratulations.

I heard about the baby.

I only hope it'll be a suitable heir for Falcon Crest someday.

I'm sure it will be.

With a new generation coming along...

...it's all the more reason for us to preserve...

...my grandfather's legacy.

How may I be of service?

Chao-Li, I want you to make sure...

...that nothing about my brother's death...

...ever leads back to Falcon Crest.

-Nothing ever shall. -Thank you.

What was the name of that doctor you took Emma to at the clinic?

Banning. Why?

-Get him on the phone for me. -What's the problem?

He's the only one she's ever spoken to about Jason's death.

Now, if he talks to someone, that could create a problem.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I'll be the judge of that.

Dr. Banning, please hold for Mrs. Channing.

Hello, doctor?

This is Angela Channing, Emma Channing's mother.

Yes, Mrs. Channing. How are you?

I'm fine, thank you. I just wanted to tell you...

...how Emma enjoyed the little chat you had with her.

Well, thank you. That's nice to hear.

Now, Julia mentioned you thought Emma...

...might have had some sort of trauma.

I'm afraid it would be both unethical and unfair of me...

...to tell you about Emma and her feelings.

Oh, but I'm her mother.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Channing, but without Emma's permission...

...I really can't discuss the case with anybody.

Oh, I see.

Well, thank you for being so candid.

Certainly. Goodbye.

Goodbye, doctor.

Thank you very much indeed.

All we've got in a '62 Chevy...

...is what's left of old Jason Gioberti's truck.

-May I see it? -Sure.

Here it is over here.

I'm telling you, you're wasting your time, though.

You see, that steering wheel's busted.

Like I said, that thing's not much good.

-Will this take care of it? -Sure.

That'll more than cover it.

Well, hi. Melissa, come in.

I'm sorry to barge in on you like this, Mr. Gioberti.

I just saw Cole.

He said you might be able to help me.

Oh, I'll do what I can. Have a seat, please.

I need a friend. Someone I can talk to.

How about your husband?

He's just like everyone else at Falcon Crest.

Well, tell me, what's the problem?

It's Lance and his mother and Angela.

They're keeping something terrible from me, I know it.

How could they keep anything from you?

You're part of the family now. You live in the same house.

I've been hearing things.

You mean, you've been overhearing things.

In order to deal with Angela's family,

you have to think like she does.

My guess is that you and Angie aren't all that different.

That's right.

I'm just as much a part of Falcon Crest as anyone now.

But I'm frightened.

There seem to be so many secrets.

Secrets?

What kind of secrets?

-Hi. -Hi.

Get your nose out of there.

-Hello. -Hey.

You're home before midnight. This calls for a celebration.

I thought I'd surprise everybody with a little Gioberti cuisine.

You look like you've been hard at it.

Fifteen feet of irrigation pipe had to be replaced.

-I'll help you in the morning. -It's okay. The leak's fixed.

Hello. I'm home.

Oh, I'd better get washed up.

-You better get... -Get washed up.

Hey, hi.

-What a nice surprise. -Hello.

-You're home early. -Good thing.

Somebody had to get dinner going.

Oh, I see.

-What are you guys up to? -Here, taste this.

Have you tried a little dry mustard?

-Among other things. -Where you been?

Over at the Hayden Clinic.

-What did Banning have to say? -He wouldn't even discuss Emma.

But he was so helpful before.

Because she was there and willing.

Now he says his professional ethics...

...won't permit him to discuss a patient.

She's the key to this whole thing.

Apparently, Angela feels the same way.

She called Dr. Banning herself this morning.

Mom, what do you do when it starts to look like oatmeal?

Lower the heat and put on the lid.

I had a visitor today.

-Yeah? -Melissa.

Oh, really?

She told me that Sheriff Tobias was at Falcon Crest...

...when he was supposed to be having a meeting with me.

She said Emma's been having...

...terrible nightmares about going to prison.

And about her guilt.

Wait a minute. Why would Melissa bother telling you anything?

Remember who she's married to.

I think she's beginning to feel...

...that her interest in Falcon Crest is threatened.

It's funny.

She reminds me more and more of Angie every time I see her.

You're getting that feeling, aren't you?

Well, the instruments say everything's fine...

...but I don't believe it.

Hi.

Chase.

I thought we had an appointment, Turk.

I'm glad I found you. Look. I'm sorry about yesterday.

-I got hung up. -Hung up.

At Falcon Crest.

Well, Mrs. Channing thought that she saw a prowler.

Why is it I get the feeling you're more concerned...

...with Angie's needs...

...than with those of the people you've sworn to serve?

She is one of those people, Chase.

Now, come on, what's on your mind?

You're the county coroner,

Dr. Cook's your medical examiner.

You both know the law regarding autopsies...

...in the case of accidental death such as my father's.

Chase...

...look, put yourself in my shoes for a minute.

Now, your father had a reputation...

...of tying one on every now and again. Okay?

He made a right turn when he should've made a left.

Now, he goes to his grave, the pickup goes to the junkyard.

Those things happen all the time.

And you perform autopsies all the time in those cases.

Like you said, I'm the coroner.

Now, the circumstances of his death were obvious to me.

As was Mrs. Channing's grief.

Now, I made a decision.

-Alright. Alright. -Okay?

Now, suppose I made a formal request for an autopsy now?

You've been seeing too many movies, Chase.

Exhumation autopsies don't really tell you very much.

Now, embalming destroys most medical evidence.

How incredibly convenient.

Oh, now, wait a minute. Chase, come on, now...

Chase.

Do yourself a favor.

Let go.

I protect Emma for her own good.

Oh, Mother, we could help her.

We could help her make it sound like an accident.

Then she couldn't be held accountable.

I can't take that chance.

But, Mother, it would be so much better.

We could all tell the truth.

And they couldn't prosecute her if she said it was an accident.

The way my father's will is written,

we would lose everything...

...if any suspicion was raised about Jason's death.

Look those over.

You know they don't make these trucks like they used to.

It's amazing.

I bet I must've sold Jason at least three transmissions...

...a couple of clutches and maybe some wheel bearings.

I can't remember.

You mean, the truck never ran very well?

Well,

let's just say it was lucky to get up enough compression...

...to do 35 on an open road.

What happens to it now?

It'll sit here a couple of months,

then it'll go on a flatbed down to Oakland.

They shred them, ship them out,

and they come back as economy cars.

Even junk's worth something.

Fascinating.

Made 5 bucks off this thing this morning, as a matter of fact.

-Really? -Yeah.

Some guy walked in here this morning,

he came right up to this truck like you did.

-Who was it? -I don't know.

Some Chinese guy.

-Did you get his name? -Hey....

When some guy pulls out 5 bucks for a broken steering wheel...

...who am I to ask questions?

Thank you, Mr. Lomax, I appreciate it.

It's so good to have you visit us again, Father.

I hope this walk elevates your pulse rate.

I've been reading about heart conditions.

And your cardiopulmonary system will be...

Will be rejuvenated in no time.

Oh, that sounds wonderful.

What about you? How are you doing?

Me? My heart's fine.

I hear that you...

You've been spending a lot of time alone in your room lately.

You know, actually...

...I have been feeling better lately than I have in months.

I found a new cure for anxiety.

Yeah, what's that?

The truth.

That's.... Interesting idea.

Yes. No matter what it is...

...I think it can really make you feel better if you tell it.

-Don't you think so? -Yes, I think it can.

Then we're in agreement.

We agree.

We agree.

You know...

...the way you behave is the truth.

I remember when you were a little girl...

...you couldn't wait to take a drive with the top down.

You loved to feel the wind going through your hair.

Now, that's the truth too, you know.

Not hiding yourself from the world.

I'm not hiding.

Yes, you are.

Don't hide, sweetheart.

No need to hide.

-Hello, Douglas. -Hi, Angie.

Emma, I want you to get in the car.

Do I have to, Mother?

Father and I have been having such a wonderful walk.

There's a chill. I'd like to take you back to the house.

-I don't wanna go home, Mother. -She'll be alright, Angela.

What could happen when she's with me?

Well, you're not well either, Douglas. Get in the car, Emma.

You're making matters worse for Emma, you know that.

I'd like her to spend some time with me.

Well, you're her father. I suppose you're entitled.

Like to take you someplace. Where would you like to go?

-Paris. -Alright, we'll go to Paris.

You know you're not well enough to go abroad, Douglas.

I'll decide that.

-Oh, it's ridiculous. -Isn't this exciting?

It's just like when Daddy used to live with us.

Alright. Let's get this finished up.

Oh, don't bother, Chase. We're almost finished.

A little help won't hurt, will it?

Nice to have you back, stranger.

I haven't been much help here lately.

I owe my father something more...

...than just a hard day's work in the fields.

I can do something to make up for the unfairness he suffered.

Well, we still got next year's crop to think about, Chase.

What would you say if I told you I think my father was murdered?

What are you gonna do?

I'm going to the district attorney.

And when you were at Lomax Wrecking,

you heard that there was an Oriental...

...who was interested in the remains of your father's truck.

What makes you think that that was Angela Channing's chauffeur?

Because he paid $5 for the broken steering wheel.

Well, that could be anybody.

Anybody who has something to hide.

That's not enough to hang a case on.

Not by itself, no.

But after a while, it gets a little hard to dismiss...

...everything as coincidence.

Mr. Deering...

...I know you haven't been in office...

...much longer than I have...

...but I need help.

Now, I don't mean this as a putdown...

...if you can't handle this, maybe somebody else can.

I didn't say I can't handle it...

...it's just that before I go to war,

I like plenty of ammunition.

And that means questions. Lots of questions.

I should warn you...

...Angela Channing can pull a lot of strings.

She has powerful friends.

If you're right about all this, she's gonna need them.

I can't write.

Oh, well.

I can't cook either.

Hello?

Hello, Maggie, this is Douglas.

Well, hi. Hey, how are you feeling?

I'm just fine, thank you.

What's this I hear about Chase seeing the district attorney?

Well, he just... He... He wanted some advice, that's all.

What does he expect to accomplish?

He needs to find out what really happened to his father. It's....

I've learned a lot in the last month.

Life isn't much without a family. I know that now.

I don't wanna see my family torn apart.

Oh, Douglas, I...

I hope it won't come to that.

Melissa.

Are you feeling alright?

I feel dreadful.

Would you like something else? The paella is kind of spicy.

It's horrible.

Excuse me.

Nausea. It'll pass.

Now, don't tell me the father's getting the symptoms.

I'm not the father.

Well, you'll do.

Aren't you listening to me?

The child she's carrying is not mine.

Of course it is. She's your wife.

It does make you the prime suspect.

How? She won't let me come near her.

Oh, Lance, really.

When you were single, you never dated a girl twice...

...on a platonic basis.

You've been going with Melissa for months.

Not of my choice.

-Maybe some tea will help. -Melissa, I'm glad you're here.

I was just explaining to them...

...that I'm not the father of your child.

How can you even say such a thing?

I guess the honeymoon's over.

But the marriage isn't.

You know, this'll be the first inquest in this county...

...in nearly 15 years.

Then there's never been a good reason...

...for one in the last 15 years.

Apparently Sheriff Tobias has always done...

...a pretty good job as the coroner.

Until now.

Thanks, honey.

You do understand that any findings from this inquest...

...cannot be used in court.

I mean, if we decide to go ahead and file a criminal complaint.

Yeah, I've been looking through the statutes.

That doesn't mean I can't come up with my own evidence...

...if there's a case at all to prosecute here.

And if there is no case?

That's the end of it.

There is no appeal whatsoever from an inquest jury's verdict.

That's alright. As long as I learn the truth.

You know, I've...

I've been through these inquests before.

They can get pretty rough.

You may find out more about your father...

...than you ever wanted to know.

You get me the truth. I'll deal with it.

They can have their little inquest all to themselves.

I'm not gonna dignify it by being there.

I wish it were that simple, Angela.

Chase Gioberti is not gonna intimidate me.

It's really out of Chase's hands now.

The district attorney filed for the inquest.

I know Martin Deering.

He's young. He wants to prove himself.

He's not gonna do it at my expense.

Now, I want you to talk to him personally, lawyer to lawyer.

He was incorruptible when he worked...

...for the Justice Department in San Francisco.

And tough.

He made his reputation on it.

Well, you'll just have to discredit him, that's all.

He certainly has a flaw someplace.

I doubt it.

He's one of these do-gooders...

...who harbor notions of justice and equality...

...that fly in the face of tradition.

What about the jury?

We'll jeopardize our own position...

...if we try to influence them.

The press will have a field day with this.

Now, don't worry about the press.

I've spoken to the commissioner. He's agreed to a closed hearing.

You can't let this get out of hand.

If we can make them think that we're cooperating...

...we'll end up controlling this hearing.

As long as the rest of the family understands...

...the nature of our task.

Well, Julia and Lance are fine.

But I won't have Emma at that inquest.

Don't worry. There are ways to prevent that.

Trust me.

Look...

...when this is all over, Angela...

...let me take you away somewhere.

You're a fool to put us through this circus.

I wish I didn't have to, Angela.

All rise.

This hearing is now in session.

The Honorable Commissioner Harold Witken presiding.

Be seated.

If the bailiff will bring in the jury.

This jury, having been duly examined and stipulated to...

...by the district attorney, Mr. Deering,

and by the coroner, Sheriff Tobias...

Mr. Deering, perhaps you'd like to begin.

Your Honor, I call Angela Channing.

Please raise your right hand.

Do you swear to tell the truth...

...the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help you God?

I do.

I'm so glad you came when I called.

I want you to go in there and tell them exactly...

...what you told me about Jason, you understand?

I don't wanna go to prison.

You're not gonna go to prison.

It was an accident, remember that?

Now, Mrs. Channing, I would like you to tell the court here...

...in your own words,

exactly what happened on the night Jason Gioberti was killed.

Excuse me.

Mrs. Channing, you haven't been excused.

I ask your indulgence, sir.

-Mrs. Channing... -What are you doing here?

I wanna tell the truth.

You don't know what you're doing.

-I think I do. -Mother, it'll be alright.

Mrs. Channing, please.

I'm sorry, Your Honor,

my daughter's very ill, I have to take her home.

-Mrs. Channing... -You've had your way...

Mr. Erikson...

Get a doctor.

No, get back. Please. Give him air. Please.

Somebody call a paramedic. Please. Hurry.

Let Emma tell the truth.

Douglas.

He's gone.

Oh, Douglas.
