All language subtitles for Falcon Crest s01e13 The Candidate

Ed McKay's dead.

What? Some maniac walked into his office
an hour ago and shot him. I found out

that Chase is running for the Board of
Supervisors.

Ed McKay's dead.

You know, you're a part of Falcon Press,
too. Only when it's convenient for you.

I don't think I'll need your money,
Angela. But you can't win this election

without my help.

This is the true story of Chase Gioberti
and his family.

This is hardly your style.

But Chase is a threat to the community.

Who is this?

You know me. I helped unseat your
favorite supervisor.

woman into a chanting.

What are you doing here?

Freeze!

Is the pin and bow ready?

Yes, it is.

All right, let's go with that.

All right, we'll start bottling
tomorrow.

Ed McKay's dead.

Some maniac walked into his office an
hour ago and shot him.

Oh, my God.

They said something about the board of
supervisors ruining him, cutting off his

water.

Phil Eberhard.

Yeah, that's his name.

Where do I know it from?

Well, he bought that vineyard at the top
of Schuyler Road.

You know, it's a shame the county
couldn't help him get the water up there

get it started.

Didn't you make a bid on that property
at one time, Mother?

I'm going to miss Ed McKay.

I bet you are.

You had McKay, Costello, and Williams in
your back pocket.

Now with Ed McKay gone, the board of
supervisors is split right down the

May I help you?

Yes, could I see that strand of pearls,
please? Surely.

They would make a lovely present for
Mother's birthday, don't you think?

Yes, they would.

Unfortunately, Mother's birthday was
three months ago.

Oh, I see you have some antique things.

Juliet, may I speak to you for a moment,
please?

I've got Mrs. Morton on the phone, and
she'd like to pick up her watch, but I

can't find it. It just came in from the
engravers this morning.

Can I show you something else? I would
really like to see that emerald piece.

Julia, let's go.

Why?

Let's go, please. I'm not feeling very
well.

We'll be back another day.

Certainly.

Emma, watch the light.

Ma 'am?

Who are you?

Star detective.

Now, there must be some mistake.

Where is it?

Fred, I'm going to have to ask you to
step into Mr.

Carmack's office.

I'm sorry.

Come on. Please.

Now, don't worry.

Everything will be all right.

That was a very nice eulogy, John.

Oh, thank you.

If your campaign speeches are half as
good, you won't need any help from me.

Well, before we worry about my re
-election, we'd better figure out who's

to replace Ed McKay.

I think Peter Burns should run.

Ed's assistant?

Totally unseasoned.

Well, why don't you stop by the house
later? I'd like to talk to you about it.

Five o 'clock?

Be fine.

Why would you want Peter Burns on the
board of supervisors if he's such an

amateur?

so I can turn him into a professional.

Emma, dear, you go on upstairs. Take a
hot bath and try to relax.

Yes, that sounds nice.

Philip Erickson just called and told me
what happened.

Well, I had to call him. I didn't know
what else to do.

I mean, he is your attorney, and I don't
know anything about making bail or

getting bail or whatever it is. Well,
why did you let this happen in the first

place? I didn't just let it happen.

I offered to pay them for the bracelet.
They wouldn't take it.

Did you tell them that you're my
daughter?

They weren't impressed, Mother.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I didn't mean to do it. It just
happened.

Why do you have to embarrass the family
like this, Emma?

Oh, Mother, you didn't have to say that.

Oh, Mother, I think you should let her
go out more often.

Now, those are your exact words.

Well, she's out.

She'll be sitting in court.

I found it anxious on the phone.

Well, I thought we might have a little
more privacy out here.

Privacy?

What's on your mind?

Peter Burns, Ed McKay's hatchet man,
filed for candidacy today.

He's after McKay's seat on the board.

Well, he didn't waste any time.

If he wins that election, we're all
going to keep paying through the nose

Falcon Crest's water.

You know, I don't understand how the
county let Angela get control in the

place. Well, I'll tell you how.

She stacked the board with guys like
McKay.

And then she got them to condemn all the
property in the county that could ever

be developed as reservoirs. She bought
it up, she built earth dams, and she

filled it with water that would have
gone as natural runoff to everyone in

valley. That water doesn't belong to
her. It belongs to everyone.

Why hasn't anybody put a stop to this?

Well, that's exactly what Phil Eberhardt
was trying to do.

So, I've been taking flak over this
issue ever since I was elected.

Now with McKay gone, it can only get
worse.

Don't tell me you're going to throw in
the towel because of a little political

pressure. A little?

Look what happened to McKay.

Now, Ed, Johnson, and myself, we've
always backed you on this.

I mean, any one of us could have taken
that bullet.

Public life is risky enough. I just
don't know if our relationship is worth

any longer.

Well, while you're pondering, what about
Peter Burns?

Peter Burns?

I can think of a dozen other men who
would do a better job.

Perhaps. But I want someone I can depend
upon.

Get him up here tonight.

But

can't

the board do anything?

Say, form a public utility and force her
to sell the reservoirs. Max Hartman and

I have been trying to do that ever since
we got elected to the board.

But McKay, Johnson, and Costello always
voted exactly the way Angela told them

to, every single time. We never had a
chance. Thanks.

Okay.

McKay's gone now.

Right.

So, all we've got to do is get you on
the board, and we've got it made.

You're crazy.

Chase, you're the perfect candidate.

What makes you think I'd even be
interested?

Because you're the best hope we've got.

Look, I've got a vineyard to run. I'm
just getting that place running

Chase, face facts, will you? Right now,
Angela controls the water in this

valley. And she could destroy us all.

Mrs. Channing, I understand you wanted
to see me.

Yes. Mr. Costello has convinced me to
support you for the Board of

Congratulations, Mr. Burns.

Thank you, Mrs. Channing.

Chase?

Hi.

Hi. What time is it?

A little after midnight. Go back to
sleep.

Oh.

I expected you home hours ago.

I'm running for the board of
supervisors, Maggie.

Your what?

Carl Reed is putting together a
committee. They're going to start

signatures tomorrow.

I could be a formal candidate by
Wednesday.

Well, I think you might at least have
talked to me about it first.

I wanted to, but they needed an answer
tonight.

I see.

Maggie, this board of supervisors could
be central to determining the future of

this entire valley.

Chase, Ed McKay was murdered. Doesn't
that mean anything to you?

That's not going to happen to me.

Can I count on you to back me up in
this?

Well, you don't give me much choice, do
you?

Nate Melman donated the vacant
storefront next to his furniture store

campaign headquarters.

I've got volunteers down there now
setting things up.

Volunteers already?

That's right. And you get down there as
soon as you can. We've got a lot of work

to do if we're going to win Ed McKay's
seat on that board. I'll be there by

noon. Good.

Thanks, Carl.

Well, looks like you got yourself a
campaign manager, huh? Yeah, Carl's

motivated. Good.

Of course, you do realize this is going
to take a lot of time away from the

vineyard.

Chase.

I got a call from Douglas Channing.

I don't suppose he wants you to take
your old job back?

Not exactly.

He does want me to write an article for
the Globe, though.

On the man who murdered Ed McKay.

suspend in prison.

Oh, Philip is working on that. You won't
have to go to prison, so stop worrying

about it.

Good morning, everybody.

Good morning. Good morning. You're up
early.

I found out that Chase is running for
the Board of Supervisors.

Ed McKay's seat.

Well, that should make for an
interesting campaign.

Fascinating.

I'm wondering how that will affect your
supporting Peter Burns.

The way to be on the winning side is to
be on both sides.

I think Chase would appreciate our
support.

Don't you?

I wonder how long it's been since we've
had a county supervisor with a beard.

You've been accused of shooting
Supervisor Ed McKay.

How are you planning to plead?

I'm guilty.

What reservoir were you getting your
water from?

Skylar Creek, that's one of Angela
Channing's dams.

Did you ever speak to Mrs. Channing
about your problems? Sure I did.

But she told me that they needed the
water for Falcon Crest.

Of course, she was lying.

She's never drawn off any of that water.

She wanted my land.

If you blame Mrs. Channing, why did you
go after Ed McKay?

Because I believed in the system.

Elected public officials are supposed to
protect you from people like Angela

Channing.

About a year and a half ago, I was a
dairy farmer in northern Michigan, but

winters were too hard on my wife.

So we yanked the kids out of school,
packed everything up, and came out here.

worked for a while in the city, but that
just wasn't right. I missed being on a

farm too much.

And then we found this little vineyard.

I put every dime I had into it, hoping
to make a go of it.

And then Mrs. Channing came along and
decided to turn off the water.

That's when I went to see Ed McKay and
asked him what he could do, and he said

he could help.

But he never so much as brought the
matter up before the Board of

for a vote.

In the meantime, my vineyard died.

Well, thank you very much for your
support, Mr. Carrington.

Sure will.

All right, bye -bye.

Well,

we finally got the first batch of
posters.

Ah, we could have one of the kids'
piggies, huh?

Oh, listen, we're shorthanded around
here enough as it is.

You should see the setup the competition
has over at Peter Burns Headquarters. I

know, I drove by there last night.

Somebody is sure bankrolling him, and I
think we both know who it is.

Well, what we lack in financial support,
we have in energy.

Yeah, I think they're fired up enough
around here to get President Harding re

-elected. Chase, I'll tell you the
truth.

We need more than youthful enthusiasm.

We also need money.

Uh -oh.

Speaking of money...

Angela! Chase.

Carl. Well, you have a very nice little
operation going here.

Well, thanks. We're doing our best.

Chase, could I speak to you privately
for a moment?

Why, sure.

Excuse us, Carl.

Let's go back in. Angela?

Chase, I'll get started on the posters.

Here are the voting records.

I admire your courage, Chase.

Your father will be very proud of you,
as we all are.

And to show you how eager I am for you
to win this election, I'm contributing

$10 ,000 to your campaign.

Well, I am flattered, Angela.

But I thought Peter Burns was your man.

Oh, I know a winner when I see one.

And you look like a winner.

And you're also intelligent enough to
know how to handle the water rights

problems in the valley.

Well, it's going to require a lot of
study, and I want to get input from

everyone affected.

Now, spare me the campaign rhetoric.

You know, you're a part of Falcon Crest,
too.

Only when it's convenient for you. I
don't think I'll need your money,

You really don't know me very well, do
you?

Well enough to know that you can't win
this election without my help.

Over half the people in the valley
depend upon Falcon Crest.

What are you going to do?

Threaten to cut their water off if they
vote for me?

My grandfather built most of the
reservoirs in this valley. Now, no board

supervisors is going to take it away
from me, so don't start acting like a

-eyed radical.

I'm not a radical, Angela. I just want
to do what's right for this valley.

She took the kids back to her mother's
in Houston.

Last time I heard from her, she had
found another man.

She wants a divorce now.

Is that why you shot Ed McKay?

I shot Ed McKay because he ruined my
life.

Him and the rest of those puppets on
that board.

And I'll tell you something else.

If I rot in jail for the rest of my
life, I'm not going to regret for one

what I did.

Time's up.

You write that.

I'm not sorry the man's dead.

I lost my wife, my kids, my land. I lost
everything I had because of him.

Him and Angela Channing.

Please, you write that, okay?

Hi, I'm Chase Gioberti, your next county
supervisor.

Hi, I'm Chase Giaberti, your next county
supervisor.

I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look
at this.

Hi, I'm Chase Giaberti, your next county
supervisor. I'd appreciate it if you'd

take a look at the issues here and
hopefully vote for me.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm Chase Giaberti, your next county
supervisor.

I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look
at this.

Going to polls, aren't you?

Hi, I'm Chase Giaberti.

I'm Chase Giaberti, your next county
supervisor.

Take one of these, will you?

I was just over at campaign
headquarters.

Paul said you were out hustling the
voters.

Oh, yeah.

How's it going?

All right.

Good.

How did your interview go?

It was really good.

And I know why you're doing this.

I mean, I know why you have to do it.

Oh, God.

Hi, I'm Chase Giverty, your next county
supervisor. You're a registered voter. I

can tell by looking at you, aren't you?
Here, take a look at the issues.

Thank you.

If I'm going to be of any use in this
campaign, Grandmother, I can't be

off to San Francisco to cover Emma's
tracks.

I want those shoplifting charges
dropped.

Why can't our attorneys take care of it?
I talked to Philip today, and his

office says they've done everything they
can.

Now, I want you to talk to Carmack
personally.

Okay. Okay.

This way, please.

Mrs. Charney, Mr. Fletcher is here to
see you. Oh, thank you, Charlie. Send

in. Mr. Fletcher.

Ted, so nice to see you. Please sit
down.

It's my pleasure, Mrs. Charney. It's
been a long time since I've been up

Well, it isn't because you're not
welcome. You know that.

But I suppose as editor -in -chief of
the Tuscany Valley Times, it does take

toll. I suppose it does.

You know, I've been reading some of the
stories about this election that's

coming up.

They're very insightful, I must say.

Well, thank you.

It helps to have a close race to write
about.

Sells papers, too.

That's exactly why I invited you up here
tonight.

You know, I have something that I think
will stimulate circulation.

This is the true story of Chase Gioberti
and his family.

The true story? Yes.

Hey, Dad. How's the next county
supervisor?

Oh, I've got such a pain in the face.

I don't think I've smiled so much since
I met your mother's parents.

That's funny. I don't remember you
smiling.

Just wait until you have to start
kissing babies.

Hello?

Oh, Carl, hi.

Listen, this is the first time I've had
him to myself in a week, and I take a

message.

Oh, good Lord.

Oh, no.

No, I should have seen that coming.

Yeah.

Yeah, all right, I will.

Thanks, Carl.

Phil Eberhardt's in the psychiatric
ward. He tried to commit suicide.

I'm afraid we have to adhere to our
policy.

prosecuting all shoplifters.

I assume you don't realize who Angela
Channing is.

Enlighten me.

Well, sir, she owns one of the largest
wineries in this country.

If the Queen of England had taken that
bracelet, I'd have to do the same thing.

I see.

Well, I'd better be getting back to the
valley then. My grandmother insists on

hearing bad news immediately.

Good day.

Nice meeting you.

Vicki, what is this? It's Darlene
Phillips' little boy.

Vicki? Kiss him.

Kiss the baby.

Kiss him, Dad.

I haven't counted on it. But I guess it
goes with it, doesn't it?

How about some lunch?

Nurse Hellway, would you please report
to Dr. Thelma's office? Nurse Hellway?

I'll take it in for you, Thelma.

Dr.

Mondonio, report to intensive care.

Dr. Mondonio, report to intensive care.

He simply will not deviate from his
policy of prosecuting shoplifters.

Did you tell him who I am? Yes, I did.

I even suggested that you might become a
customer of his if you were to relax

his policy this once.

I wouldn't step foot in that tacky
little shop.

And I can't imagine what possessed Julia
to take Emma there.

Well, I think he knew that.

Emma's going to have to appear in court,
you know. Not if I have anything to say

about it.

Well, maybe there's something I can do.

Actually, there is.

On another matter.

I want you to talk to Paul Espinosa.

It seems that most of our workers are
supporting Chase in this campaign.

How far can I go?

Well, just tell Paul that even foremen
are replaceable.

And by the way, I got a call.

Eberhard has escaped.

Do you think he'll come looking for you?

Well, let's just say that I'll rest
easier if I know he's tucked away

But my opponent never sees fit to
mention his inexperience,

naivete, and total unfamiliarity with
the problems of this valley.

Peter, let's address ourselves to the
issues, not the personal invective.

I just think the voters should know what
kind of man you are, Mr. Gioberti.

And we all have the water we want when
we need it.

Yet Mr. Gioberti seems to think that we
should disrupt a system that has been in

operation for over four decades in this
valley.

Well, that's right, I do. I definitely
do.

I believe that we, the people of this
county, have the right to control our

water resources.

Why, for example, is the price of water
in this county higher than in

any other county in the state?

Why do some vineyards flourish with
plenty of water while others are

begging?

And from whom are they really begging?

These are just some of the questions I'd
like to have answered.

And I intend to find those answers.

Terrific. Chase, that was wonderful. You
are a natural.

Well, let's not get overconfident, Carl.
I mean it. I mean it.

Listen, you haven't heard anything about
Eberhardt, have you? No, not a word.

Well, he's probably on his way to
Mexico.

Yeah, sure is.

Oh, Mr.

Giverty. Elliot.

Nice to see you. Good to see you.

Excuse me.

I'm Elliot McKay.

It's a pleasure.

You have the same spit and fire my son
had when he ran for that same seat 11

years ago.

I'm sorry about your son, Mr. McKay.

So am I.

More for how he lived than how he died.

When I discovered that he had accepted a
series of gifts from Angela Channing in

exchange for his political integrity, I
never spoke to him again.

Still, his death must have been very
heartening.

As your father's was on you.

I'm an old man with an awful lot of
money and no place to spend it.

I want to support your campaign.

Well, I can use all the votes I can get.

Well, how would a $100 ,000 campaign
contribution suit you?

We could certainly use it, Mr. Kent.

But there are usually strings attached
to that kind of money.

I only ask one thing, Chase.

Live up to your campaign promises.

Make this county proud of its Board of
Supervisors.

I see Paula.

My grandmother doesn't like the way some
of our employees are spending their

extra time.

She may have a lot of folks on her
payroll, but it doesn't mean she owns

What about that guy?

Martinez.

He's on the bottling crew, late shift.

Well, you can fire him tonight.

And those two women, I think I recognize
the one on the left.

Mrs. Welch, shipping clerk.

Well, I think we can let her off, too.

You get the point?

We'll check this out tomorrow and see
how many of our employees are still

working for Chase to your birthday.

Angela, I'm afraid we have a problem.

Elliot McKay is giving Chase a $100 ,000
campaign contribution.

That doesn't surprise me.

Elliot never did know how to manage
money.

Thank you.

Well, it gives Chase a bit of an edge,
wouldn't you say?

Not really.

The edge Chase has will be long gone by
tomorrow afternoon.

But $100 ,000.

Do you have any idea how much radio time
that'll buy?

I spent that and more, John.

A million dollars isn't going to help
Chase Giuberti now.

Okay,

Chase, I want you to close your eyes.

And just imagine this, all right?

The sound of hoofbeats over strains of
the William Tell Overture.

Now, the rider dismounts, and it's Chase
Gioberti.

That is terrible.

Oh, come on. It worked for Pinewood
Savings alone. It's going to work for

What about the issues?

People do not want to hear issues on a
20 -second radio spot.

Chase, it's media hype. That's all. It's
a part of the campaign process. Good

morning, Mr. McKay. Have you read the
afternoon papers yet, Chase?

No. Why, is something wrong?

Damn right there is.

What is this?

And I thought you were an honest man.

Mr. McKay, I don't know exactly what's
in this article, but it's like a cheap

shot to me.

It reads like solid reporting to me.

And Ted Fletcher is a respectable
publisher.

Elliot, don't you think you ought to
give us a chance to look at this before

jump to conclusions?

There it is in black and white, Carl.

You'll see what a fool you've been.

Now, wait, wait a minute, Mr. McCabe.

You've had it, Giverty.

You are politically dead around here.

What does it pay?

Now, listen to this.

Chase Giverty has found the life of the
gentleman farmer not all that gentle.

He's been denied bank loans and has had
difficulty marketing what some sources

say is an inferior crop.

Some sources.

Stemming from his inexperience as a
vineyardist.

Yet he professes to understand the needs
of an agricultural community such as

ours.

Late last year, he apparently convinced
Angela Channing, his aunt, and the head

of Falcon Crest to buy his grape harvest
at premium prices.

but he denies that Mrs. Channing will
hold any sway over his conduct as a

supervisor.

It sounds as if Chase has a little
explaining to do.

Well, I hate to see his reputation
tarnished, but I must say it's a

article.

Falcon Crust.

Yeah, please hold.

It's for you, Grandmother.

Thank you. Hello?

Yes, this is Mrs. Channing.

Now, you know me. I helped unseat your
favorite supervisor.

Who is this?

You're a dead woman, Angela Channing.

Is that clear enough?

A dead woman.

Well, that's not very reassuring, Turk.
Send a man up here right away.

Yes.

Tobias seems to think Eberhardt's in
Bakersfield.

Bakersfield?

Grandmother, he's been seen in Los
Angeles. He's been seen in Santa Rosa

Reno.

Now, either he's in three places at the
same time or they're spotting the wrong

guy.

That's what worries me.

Carl, did you see that?

Yes, yes, I did. It's a nice article.
Thank you. It's a little disappointing

have to play second fiddle to the
manhunt story, but... The phone's been

off the hook all morning.

I think this article pretty well evens
the score with Fletcher's paper.

Well, listen, I have a friend at the
sheriff's office. He just told me that

Angela got a phone call last night from
a man who claimed to be Everhart. He

said he threatened to kill her.

I hope they're taking it seriously.

Well, you bet they are. They have a
deputy over there now in case he shows

And Phil Everhart is angry enough and
disturbed enough to do something like

that.

I'll tell you something else, Mrs.
Channing.

I don't appreciate your trying to
pressure me like this.

I'm concerned about my daughter's
emotional state.

She's in no condition to go to court.

I don't care what your daughter's
problems are. The young lady walked out

here with an expensive piece of
merchandise.

Which we offered to pay for.

I don't do business with shoplifters.

Mr. Carmack, I understand that you made
some costly improvements in your store,

say, about a year ago.

I'm a very busy man. Now, if you'll
excuse me. And you financed those

improvements through the United Pacific
Bank of San Francisco.

My financial affairs are no concern of
yours.

I happen to be on the board of directors
of a corresponding bank in Tuscany

Valley. Now, it seems to me that we
helped arrange that financing.

And after some careful reevaluation, my
grandmother has decided you're not a

very worthy credit risk, Mr. Carmack.

She's going to call on your loan.

You're bluffing.

Well, I wouldn't recommend you call me
on it.

I'm not saying it can be done overnight,
but it can be done.

What we need is a renewed unity of
purpose in its valleys.

We've let ourselves be divided for too
long.

A vote for Chase Giaberti is a vote for
a county fuel subsidy that'll lower gas

prices and bring more tourists than ever
into the valleys.

A vote for Chase Gioberti will remove
all the telephone poles in the valley

improve our scenic vistas. Enough speech
making for me.

Remember me when you go to the polls.

Vote your conscience and vote for the
future of our valley.

Thank you.

Call.

Call. Can I have a word with you, son?
Yeah.

Listen, you're here to hand out flyers,
not to make campaign speeches.

Just trying to stir it up a little bit.

I thought you wanted to generate some
enthusiasm out here. Yeah, enthusiasm

my ideas, not your idealism.

So stick to the program, okay?

Yeah. Come on. Jake, take a look at
that.

Great, look at this. So much for evening
the score with pleasure.

Chase Giberti, candidate in special
election for the Board of Supervisors.

was prompted to move his family to the
Tuscany Valley because of the arrest of

his son, Cole, on assault charges in New
York City.

Yesterday's article was bad enough.

Now they're picking on my family. That's
unbelievable.

Well, you better believe it. That story
is in every newsstand in the Valley.

How'd they find out about this?

I have a pretty good idea.

It's all right, Deputy.

Well, Chase.

What a surprise.

I want to talk to you about this
campaign.

Well, you know how I feel about it.

You know, Angela, until today, you were
the only one outside of my immediate

family who knew anything about Cole's
arrest in New York.

And now it's splashed all over the front
page of the afternoon paper. You may

think this is a small -town election,
but nobody here is going to give away

anything without a fight.

It's like everything you've done since
you've moved here.

Your whole campaign is a misguided
adventure.

And what's so misguided about trying to
do some good for this community? Now,

don't shout, Chase.

Why did you bring my son into it?

And you know those charges against him
were dropped.

Yet your little article in the paper
neglected to mention that particular

Good night, Chase.

right now because me and Mrs. Channing
are going for a ride.

Wait a minute, Eberhard.

Listen to me.

Nobody's going to get hurt here. Oh, I
wouldn't put my money on that because

this has been a long time coming.

Mother, who is that?

All right, just get back. Stay back.

Take it easy.

Stay right where you are. Get rid of
those two people. Get them out of here

right now.

Why don't you let her go?

This is not a joke.

I want that car.

Chase, give him what he wants.

Mr. Eberhard knows we can't give him a
car.

And we're not going to let him take you
with him.

You'd better.

And what would be the point? You'd just
get out there and get yourself shot by

some trigger -happy cop.

I know how you must feel.

You don't know anything about how I
feel.

Somebody's going to pay for what
happened to me and my family.

You're right, somebody will, but why
make that somebody yourself?

Huh?

What would be the point? You've made a
point here, now let her go. Come on,

Angie.

Ah.

Mr. Everhart's not going to hurt you
anymore.

The hell I won't.

Phil.

You're not crazy.

I know that as well as you do.

You've just been treated with terrible
unfairness.

That's no reason to kill anyone.

I already killed Ed McKay.

You couldn't help that, could you?

No, I couldn't.

Well, this is different.

We're all here, and we want to help you
if you'll let us.

You can't.

Sure we can.

Now, come on, let her go. Come on,
Angie.

Come on.

here myself.

I know how tough it is to get a vineyard
going.

But things are going to be better.

Trust me.

I promise you.

Maybe you and I could get together and
talk about things that need doing

around here.

You're not a killer.

You're just angry.

Believe me, I know what that's like.

You're angry, too.

Matter in hell.

I'll ride in town with you.
