All language subtitles for Falcon Crest s01e05 Tony Comes Home

After all these years.

There's so much I want to tell you. Tony
didn't leave me because of another

woman or because of my weaknesses. He
left me because of you. Tony Compson

something from us, and you have three
days to find out what it is.

Your mother and I are trying to get back
together again. Do you think I give a

damn? If you remember how to run a
vineyard, I'm willing to give you your

job back. Tony has plans for our future
that don't include Falcon Crest.

Falcon Crest needs you.

You won't leave.

Never.

Oh, my goodness.

Thank you.

Happy birthday.

Oh, thank you. Thank you all.

Happy, happy.

I feel like I've ignored you two.

Oh, not at all. It's Julia's party.
Maggie, how about another wine?

Yes, let's go over here.

Thank you. Charlie.

I didn't know you were interested in
writing.

Have you thought about making a career
of it?

I've been freelancing for eight and a
half years.

If that's not a career, I don't know
what is.

It's been just about perfect. I write
whenever I want, and then I make some

extra money. I still have time for the
family.

Have you thought about being a reporter?

You know, my ex -husband publishes one
of the finest papers in San Francisco.

Don't close the door.

Charlie,

let's be reasonable, all right? I just
want to talk to Julia.

I'm not going to cause any trouble.

Julia!

Let Charlie handle it.

Hello, Tony.

Julia, I'm sorry about busting in like
this, but I've been trying to reach you

all week, and I can never get through to
you.

Did it ever occur to you that I might
want it that way?

I need to talk to you, Julia.

Twelve years ago, I might have been
interested in talking to you, but not

I want to make all that up to you.

You can't.

All I ask is a couple of hours of your
time. Can I take you to dinner?

Or for a drink.

Why don't you just leave?

Go.

Get out.

Who was that?

He was my father.

Julia?

Oh, Maggie.

Maggie, please.

I don't want you to see me like this.

Don't be silly.

Look, I'll go if you want me to.

I just want to know if you're all right.

The last thing I... Really, the last
thing I thought I would do is cry.

Come on.

It's all right.

He went out into the vineyard one
morning.

And he didn't come back.

Twelve years without a letter.

Not even a phone call.

And then he just sauntered in on a
Sunday afternoon.

And then he started calling and I... I
couldn't even talk to him.

Julia, it must have been very painful
for you.

Come and see me more often.

The opera season's in full tilt. You
missed a great Giovanni last night.

Well, invite me to see Carmen and you
have a date.

Will do.

I have something very important I want
to talk to you about.

I think I've discovered a very talented
new writer.

Who?

Chase's wife, Maggie Gioberti.

That's quite a byline.

Oh, now, be serious.

You know, she's been freelancing for
about eight years. I think she's ready

something a little more challenging.

And she could be a wonderful reporter.

Angela, we've known each other too long
for this.

Why do you really want me to give her a
job?

Well, she's bright.

She's a very sharp New Yorker, dying of
boredom in the valley.

And she's family.

I'll meet with her. That's all I
promise.

Somebody send me flowers. I'm dead.

My manicurist could see me.

Horrible.

Oh, no, no. We just walked in the door.

Why don't you two grab a shower while I
help your mother put some dinner

together? But hold on, everybody.

There's no hot water.

Not again.

I don't know what to say, Angela.

You don't have to say anything.

Just don't let that husband of yours
talk you out of it.

I know how stubborn the Gibraltar man
can be.

Uh, yeah, just a second.

Uh -huh.

Go ahead.

Uh -huh.

Yeah, I'll be there tomorrow, 10 a .m.

And thank you.

Goodbye, Maggie.

No hot water, Mom.

Maybe we should have bought a new hot
water heater instead of the washer and

dryer.

What's that all about?

I have an interview tomorrow with
Douglas Channing at the San Francisco

What kind of interview?

To be a reporter.

She ran into him, I guess, on the
street. She mentioned my writing to him.

don't get it. I thought you loved
freelancing.

I do.

This is different.

I wish we'd had a chance to talk it over
before you told her yes.

Chase, she made the appointment. What
could I do?

This is the kind of break you only dream
about.

I understand how important it is to you.
I just wish the timing were better for

us.

We need so many things.

We're up to our ears in debts. We got
back taxes. We got inheritance taxes. I

don't want you to worry about money.

I'll go back to flying part -time. I can
bring in more in a few hours a week

than you can make in a month.

But you don't want to fly anymore, and I
want to write.

San Francisco is an hour and a half's
drive one way.

Chase, I have a degree in journalism. I
never thought I'd even get a chance to

use. This is a major publication and a
prestigious one. I want this.

I want it very much.

I still know my way around the place
pretty well. It wasn't hard to get in.

Just... It took me a while to get up my
courage.

Well, I don't want you here. I don't
have anything to say to you.

I know how much I've hurt you.

But don't say I can't make it up to you.

Give me a chance to try.

It's what I came back for.

After all these years.

There's so much I want to tell you.

All I ask for is a couple of hours of
your time.

We can find a place to talk.

It's going to take a lot of courage and
patience for Julia to forget the past.

I know that.

I think you're moving too quickly. No,
Mother.

We're being very careful.

Well, if it works out, you'll probably
want to find a place of your own.

In the meantime, Tony is welcome to stay
at Falcon Crest.

Well, thank you, but I don't want to do
that.

Oh, it's no imposition.

Both of you should be with Lance, don't
you think?

It's the only chance you'll have to
become a family again.

Where is Lance?

He's probably at the garage. He spends a
lot of time with his cars.

I'd like to talk to him alone.

Excuse me.

Julia, where is your pride?

Oh, damn my pride.

I need him.

And for once in my life, I'm going to
have what I want.

You need a man.

You don't need Tony Thompson.

You measure people like you do your
wines, and so far I've never met anyone

could pass your test.

Have you forgotten why he left in the
first place?

We've discussed it. Well, I can't stand
to see you go through that again.

Mother, let's stop kidding ourselves.
Tony didn't leave me because of another

woman or because of my weaknesses. He
left me because of you.

I never once interfered with your
marriage.

You made me jealous of every woman he
even looked at. You made me feel like a

failure. Blaming me isn't going to
rebuild your marriage.

Mother, Tony has changed.

Now he needs me too.

I don't think it's going to work.

But if you feel that strongly about it,
I suppose you have to try.

I've invited Maggie and Chase here for
dinner tonight so they can get to know

him. If you don't want to be here, I'll
understand.

Julia, no matter what our difference is,
past or present, we are still a family.

Hi, lad.

Does my grandmother know you're here?

Yes, she does.

Then I take it you're leaving.

How are you, lad?

How do I look?

Like I did when I was your age.

I'm nothing like you.

That'd be, uh...

A lot harder than I even imagined it
would be.

Your mother and I are trying to get back
together again, Lance.

She'll never take you back.

We spent the whole night talking. She's
willing to... to give me a second

chance.

Do you think I give a damn?

I wish I could change the past, but I
can't.

I know something else you can't change.

No matter how many lies you tell my
mother.

I haven't lied to anyone.

I'm the heir to Falcon Crest, not her.

I knew that the day you were born. Your
grandmother made it very clear what she

really wanted was a male heir.

Well, then, if you don't want the money,
why are you here?

Is that how you care about money?

Let's just say I understand how it
affects people who don't have it.

I used to talk that way too, you know.

Tough.

The boss.

In control, but scared to death to feel
anything.

I know you better than I thought I
would.

Why don't you give me a chance? I could
be a friend.

I like your style.

It's clean and fresh.

Angie was right.

You got talent.

Thank you.

Never worked for a newspaper before?

No.

Don't usually hire anyone with less than
five years' experience.

But I think I can persuade one of my
editors to take you under his wing.

Mr. Channing, um... I don't want you to
give me this job if you're doing it as a

favor to Angela.

Angela got you the interview.

Your talent got you the job.

Then I accept, and thank you.

I have a meeting in Oakland in an hour.
I'll introduce you to Ed Nichols.

He'll get you started.

Bring along some of the articles for him
to read.

And let me warn you, Ed yells a lot.

Yeah.

I talked to Douglas this evening,
briefly, and he was very impressed.

Now, you won't let him down.

Oh, I won't. And thank you again for
setting up that interview.

Oh, it's nothing, really.

Well, they're not drilling oil wells in
the valley these days.

Yeah, that's for sure.

If you remember how to run a vineyard,
I'm willing to give you your old job

back. My holdings have doubled and I
could use an extra man.

And besides, I'm selfish.

I'd like to see my daughter happy.

Well, that's very nice of you, Angela.
I'd like to think about it.

You don't have to be polite, darling.

Tony has plans for our future that don't
include Falcon Crest.

Maggie, in case somebody liked you.

What did you mean? I have plans for us
that don't include Falcon Crest.

I've got a good job.

Some kind of job, that's for sure. I
know, I know. But working for my mother

the very worst thing you could possibly
do.

It sure wouldn't be easy.

But when I decided to come back here, I
knew that I'd have to make some

compromise.

I've been away from the Valley so long,
I honestly don't know who else would

hire me.

My mother has an excellent business
manager.

He's made me a very wealthy woman.

Julia, I don't want your money.

I want a gift to you now.

I did enough taking before.

I can afford to make a small down
payment on a vineyard of our own.

That's a lot of money.

With your background and my winemaking
experience, we could do it.

I know the perfect place for Gamay.

We could go look at it this week.

When I think of what we could have had
if I'd stayed with you.

No.

Stay with me now.

Are you sure?

Are you?

Do you love me?

Yes, Maggie.

Listen, I just interviewed that guy from
the nursing homes.

Very close, Matt. Right.

Now, what I want to do is I want to talk
to that retired couple, the ones that

moved out right after Livingston took
over. So, you have a phone number or

address? Good.

Okay. Thanks.

Cole, why are you putting her right in
the line of work?

How many more on the truck?

About 50.

My back holds on. Hey, I know you're
upset about Mom being gone and all.

Don't worry.

We'll work it out.

I remember the time Alicia got a job in
town.

Real hard getting used to her being
away.

I'm just making that up for my benefit.

No, no, it really happened.

Yeah, how did you feel? Deep down.

Angry.

Keep talking.

Well, I never could figure out why.

I'm not one of those guys that has to be
waited on all day.

I don't know why either, but I'm mad as
hell.

Not just at her for taking the job, but
myself for being angry in the first

place, you know?

I'm glad you're alone.

I wanted to talk to you about your plans
that don't include Falcon Crest.

Well, that's nothing definite, Angela.

Well, you know, Julia doesn't realize
it, but she has more security here than

she would have anyplace else.

And so could you, if you were smart.

If I were to put myself under your thumb
again.

Well, not necessarily.

You know, you were very good at your
work when you wanted to be.

And with inflation, your salary could
triple. I think about it seriously.

Why don't you just let Julia and me work
things out for ourselves this time

around?

Well, Julia's asked me for a couple of
days off, and I can understand how you'd

like to be together, but I think you
should include Lance.

I've already asked him.

Well, why don't you let me ask him?

Now, why would you want to do a thing
like that for me?

I just think I know him better than you
do.

I'm sure he wants to go. He's just a
little prideful.

Like his father.

Hello, Grandmother.

I thought you'd be packing.

I'm going to scorch for the reception
this evening.

Well, I want you to go with them, Lance.

No, Grandmother.

The international market means just as
much to me as it does to you.

I think it'd be a real plus to have
falcon crest wine served in foreign

embassies. That can take care of itself
in time.

This situation needs your attention now.

Business first.

Family first.

He was never a father to me,
Grandmother. Why should I start

I'm asking you to do this for your
mother.

She can take care of herself.

Since when?

Now, Tony Compson wants something from
us, and you have three days to find out

what it is.

Hi. How you doing?

I have a plate in the oven for you. You
do? Thanks, honey.

Hi, honey.

I fixed dinner.

You did?

Meatloaf. It even looks like meatloaf.

Sit down. We'll take care of everything.

Good. Hi, honey.

I didn't mean to be worried about you.

I'm okay. I'm just exhausted. My feet
are killing me.

Have some wine.

I'm sorry. Thank you.

To home.

Mother?

I'd like to go to the mountains with you
if it's not too late.

Did your grandmother tell you to do
that?

No, I told her.

I've been thinking about it. Maybe we
should try to work things out.

Ed asked me to do a rewrite on this
nursing home article.

Honey, I'm sorry. It's just... Well, it
came up at the last minute. I know, I

know, I know. Maybe 15, maybe 20 minutes
tops.

Okay. See you soon.

All right. Be careful.

See you in the morning.

Maggie, are you coming to bed?

I had to take a couple of aspirin.

I can't get rid of this blasted
headache.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Here, this will help.

Honey, I mean, that's great, except I'm
too tired to appreciate it.

Just hold me, all right?

It's a lot of pressure, isn't it?

Oh, I tell you, I have never had to work
so fast.

It's exciting, though.

So are you.

You know,

one of the nice things about farmer's
hours is that you go to bed early and

get to make love.

I miss that.

Me too.

Want to try for a refresher pause?

I'm too beat. Oh, honey.

Well, you know, I have to do a nine o
'clock interview at City Hall tomorrow

morning. City Hall.

Oh.

Oh, who cares?

I'll catch up on my sleep on the
weekend.

Hi.

I don't... I don't want you driving
tired. I'm worried about you.

Is this going to go on for long?

I know. It's very hectic. I didn't
expect it to be like this.

Things will settle down.

Do you have any idea of that?

A couple of weeks.

I love you.

I love you.

To me, that used to be my life.

It's one of the best listings we have in
the office.

Of course, when you have 500 acres like
Falcon Crest, it doesn't seem like much,

but it has real potential.

Yeah, well, these days you have to
constantly expand or die in the process.

Right. Sir, can I talk to you for just a
second? Sure.

Excuse me.

This is making your father and me very
happy, Lance, having us all together

this. You're going to turn your back on
Falcon Crest for him?

Don't you see what he's doing?

Don't jump to too many conclusions,
Lance.

I don't have to.

It's very clear.

Tony can still manage property.

And I could make my own wines.

And you won't need me after you take
over the property.

Falcon Crest needs you.

He won't leave.

When did you get home?

A little while ago.

Would you like to share your little
outing with me?

Not much to tell. It was nice, really.

We went fishing, drove around a bit.

The weather was beautiful.

Come to the point, Lance.

She falls all over him and doesn't see
what a phony he is.

Obviously you do.

She's making a fool of herself,
Grandmother.

You sound like a jealous lover.

Now, what is she up to?

She's putting an offer down on 20 acres
of Zinfandel and Gamay up around Hot

Springs.

Thank you very much.

I had some business in town, and I
thought I'd take you to lunch. Oh,

Hello?

Yeah, yeah, I'm almost finished.

Oh, uh, half hour.

Okay, great. Bye -bye.

No, can you wait?

Sure. Good.

Okay, uh... Here.

Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a
minute. No, no, no, no. Ah,

this. Okay.

I thought the airlines were acting quite
a pace around here.

Nobody told me about changing the angle
on this door.

Well, has anybody spoken to Ed?

Fine. All right, I will.

I don't know. I'll get back to you as
soon as I can.

Yeah.

Great.

I'm sorry.

I'm just... I'm not going to be able to
make it today.

It's all right.

I just had a great little Italian
restaurant picked out.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry.

Maybe some other time, okay?

Okay.

See you tomorrow.

Chase!

Well, thank you very much.

He said there was another offer already
in, and he didn't know about it till

now.

to think that Mother would ever leave us
alone. It doesn't matter.

Don't say anything.

Don't give her the satisfaction.

No. We'll bide our time. There are other
vineyards.

Where's all the frenzied activity I
usually see here?

I'm afraid I'm frenzied out.

If it's Ed, don't worry.

He tells me you're taking the reporting
like fish to water.

No. No, it's me.

Chase came by to take me to lunch.

We haven't seen very much of each other
since I started here, and... Anyway,

I've been sitting on this deadline all
morning.

Finally, he just left, and I haven't
been able to write a word.

Yeah.

Sounds like the walls are closing in a
little. Yeah, that's what it feels like.

I don't know. Something's wrong.

You've had time to get your feet wet. Do
you like reporting?

I love it.

I do.

What?

I don't want to sound maudlin, but I
miss my family.

I had a balance there between everything
that I love.

I wish Angela could have thought like
that and we might still be together.

You see, she had only one passion in
life.

Falcon Crest.

I won't live like that.

Maybe that's something she hasn't
counted on.

What do you mean?

Never mind.

Look, I know a thoroughbred when I see
one.

If you're going to run anywhere, I'd
like you to run with my colors.

I should have known better than to think
that you had any feelings. You

knew we made a bid on that property, and
you had to spoil it.

Julia, forget it. No, I won't forget it.
Well, look, he's not worth getting

worked up over. Hey, you stay out of
this. This is for a mother of me.

He calling the shots now?

A couple of rolls in a sack make up a
big man again?

I see everything is finally back to
normal.

What are you doing here?

Well, Douglas Channing gave me a new
job.

Yeah? Now, he came into my office and I
said, look, this isn't working out for

me on the globe.

He said, that's no problem. Gave me a
part -time job as a stringer on the

paper in the valley.

And I'm home again.

We got you back.

Excuse me.

Listen, Mom.

What? we're glad you're back uh -huh but
trying to get back to doing what you

really love so uh these are for you oh
god so good to me do i deserve this

A young woman to see Mr. Compson.

Tony, could I talk to you alone?

I'm sorry, but who are you?

Please don't do this to me.

You seem very upset, Miss... Barbara.

Barbara, what can we do for you?

I want to talk to Tony alone.

To Tony.

Look, miss, whatever you've got to say
to me, you can say it right here in

of my wife and my son.

How can you stand there and pretend that
you don't know me?

Because I don't.

Two years living together is wiped out?

Just like that?

I have never seen you before. Look, what
are you trying to pull here?

I'm pregnant.

I didn't know that when you left.

Uh, Charlie, I'd like her out of here,
please.

No, I think I want to hear this.

I told you I don't know her.

I'm sorry.

I didn't want to come here and hurt
anyone.

You say we lived together? Where did we
live?

Anchorage. Where in Anchorage?

9611 Highgate Hill.

Why are we playing this game?

All you have to do is tell me that you
don't want the baby, and I'll leave.

I mean, this is crazy.

It's them.

They set this whole thing up.

I don't have anybody but Tony.

I want my baby to have a father.

I thought if you knew the truth... The
truth?

Maybe you'd let him go.

I want the truth.

And I want it right now. Oh, Tony, stop
it. You're hurting her.

I'm going back up home again tonight.

You know where to find me.

I swear to you, none of it is true.
None.

You've got to believe me. I don't know
what to believe anymore.

You can believe that your mother and
Lance can't stand to see us together,

they'll do anything to prevent it. Yes,
that I believe. Yeah, and he's just like

her. Oh, I know, I know.

We can't survive here.

Come away with me.

Tonight.

Now. Where?

It doesn't matter.

But what about my work? It doesn't
matter. Where would we go?

Yes, we'll go.

We'll go.

Start packing.

Don't be a fool, Julia.

Will you?

I can't go.

You can't.

I really thought I could leave, but I
can't.

I live here.

I know that.

Somehow I'll find a drink to leave here
