All language subtitles for Falcon Crest s01e15 Heir Apparent

She knows something about my father's
death. One way or another, I'm going to

find out what it is. Chase is demanding
all the coroner's records from Jason.

But there aren't any records. That's
right. Now I get the feeling that he

there may be something wrong here. What
does Chase really want?

To control Falcon Crest.

Then offer it to him. I pushed him and
he fell.

Does grandmother know?

What makes you think you can get by
blackmailing me? Because you know as

I do what Chase will do if I tell him
about this. Your inheritance will be

radically diminished.

And so will yours.

Well, I am delighted that you're coming.

Okay, and thank you for letting me know.

Even at the last minute.

Who's that?

Julia, she's coming. Don't eat those,
please.

She's coming?

The very same Julia who turned on us the
last time we were over there?

Uh -huh. I think she's been under a
strain lately and sort of resented the

you were questioning Emma. So, Dweck,
could you please, darling, just not

her up tonight, okay?

I'll be the perfect host.

What about Angela?

She regrets she will not be able to make
it. I bet she does.

Actually, Julian said that she's going
to visit Douglas at the hospital

Yeah, I didn't expect her to accept our
invitation anyway.

You are not exactly her favorite
relative these days.

At least I'm somebody's. Yes, you are.

Honey, you have to get dressed.

All right.

Hey, this is turning into a promising
party.

I think so.

I'm glad I came.

Everyone says they're having a great
time, don't they? Yeah, I think... Oh,

there's Julia. Excuse me.

Julia.

Oh, honey.

I'm so glad you're here. Thank you.

I was so afraid we'd never speak to each
other again.

Oh, come on. Don't be so sad.

Cousin. Chase.

Glad you came.

Have a good time. Oh, I intend to. Yeah,
we have some wonderful wine.

Chase? Carl.

Congratulations on your first six
months.

Seems longer than that.

Scotch. Well, just in case you run out
of wine.

Not likely.

Oh, you know my son, Bill? Bill. Good to
see you. And his girlfriend, Ann

Hilton. Ann, welcome. Hey, Bill.

Haven't seen you since the river trip.

I'm ready for another one. How about
you? Just say the word.

Thanks a lot, Cole.

I was hoping just once to get through a
night without talking about river

rafting. Come on, let's help these poor
people drink up their wine.

There's plenty of food in there.

Let's take it easy.

Great kids, aren't they? Yeah.

You know, Mike is now saying that he
wants to be a poet.

You have anything against poets?

No, I just never heard of one that
earned a decent living, that's all.

maybe Bill will start a trend.

Well, he'll start something, I'll tell
you. He's a pioneer.

Anyway, what does he do? I mean, is he
referring to that? No, no, no.

Julia is here?

I didn't know you were on speaking
terms.

She seems to have had a change of heart.

You know, Chase, I had a conversation
with Dr. Cook.

He told me that you really grilled him
about your father's death.

No, I didn't.

It's just that as county medical
examiner, he sure did one thoroughly

unprofessional job of investigating it.
Well, I think you're taking a big chance

pushing it.

I'm not at all sure that the voters
expect you to be spending your time this

way. Carl, I'm pursuing this as a
private citizen, not on the board's

Well, do me a favor. Take it easy, will
you?

We have a lot of work to do. I don't
want you to lose credibility when we're

just getting started.

Cheers. Cheers.

Have a good time.

Go get something to eat.

Well,

lady.

I thought you were supposed to be on the
night shift at the winery.

I was, taking a break.

Where's your mother?

She went to the party at the Giobertis.

Well, I'm glad to know your
grandfather's condition hasn't upset her

plans.

Douglas tells me you haven't seen him
once since he had his heart attack.

Yes, well, I disappointed him when I
came back to Falcon Crest.

I'll just upset him if I go to the
hospital.

Well, you're upsetting me. The break is
over.

When are you going to stop with a
punishment?

Well, don't consider it punishment.

Just think of it as a learning
experience.

Oh, by the way, have you called Melissa
or Gretty since you've been back?

No, I haven't.

Well, please do.

I'll be right back. Oh, thank you.

Say,

I want some of those hors d 'oeuvres.

Oh, sure.

Emma?

I didn't know you were here.

I heard the music and I just came
running.

I am having the loveliest time. Good.

Thank you very much.

Should you be drinking wine?

Oh, Uncle Jason always let me drink
wine.

I think about him all the time.

I know you do.

You must have loved him.

Oh, yes.

I'm sorry about that night.

I wish it had never happened.

What happened, Emma?

Emma?

Emma, you shouldn't be here.

Will you excuse us, please, Chase?

Sure.

I'm not going home. Yes, you are going
home. What are you doing here? I am

entitled to have as good a time as
anybody else, and the party's not over.

party is over for you, Emma, and we're
going home.

I will tell Chase the truth about Uncle
Jason.

handsome young man. There are lots of
them inside, and I am not going to keep

looking at them through the window. Wait
a minute. Let me talk to you. Emma,

please.

Tell you what.

Why are we all hitting the river
tonight?

My dad's cabin is warm and cozy, and
I'll show you all some of the best white

water around.

Later, pal.

Melissa and I have other plans.

Oh, sounds serious.

Sounds like the spring house cold.

Cole, listen.

We'll all drive up there together, spend
the night, hit the river in the

morning. You're buzzed, man. You're not
driving anywhere tonight.

He's fine, Cole. I've seen him hold a
lot more than this.

Did I ever tell you about the time I
took a float trip by myself?

No, but I'm sure you will.

Well, it was late.

On my way home, I stopped by Dad's cabin
out on the river.

It was warm. I wanted to cool off.

So I grabbed an inner tube and went
floating off down the river.

There was a moon out, some stars up
above.

They floated along with me.

I had some kind of an experience.

I was moving along with...

the flow of the river, and I slid into
something like I was

part of the river, flowing along with
every living thing.

Why do I get the feeling that we're kind
of in the way here?

It's because we are.

Right.

Bye.

Later, guys.

What do you say, Cole?

You coming with us?

Hey, come on, we'll have a ball.

There's lots of room up there.

Melissa and I are going someplace else.

You know, you're a rotten friend, Cole,
and I would have driven you.

Thanks, buddy.

Now, what do you say we all head our
separate ways, huh?

Long way to the spring, huh?

Worth the trip.

Charlie, have you seen Emma?

I have not seen her in some time, Mrs.
Chandler.

Oh, she must have wandered off again.

See if you can find her, please.

Yes, ma 'am.

I don't suppose you could go any faster.

Oh, quit worrying. I can drive this road
in my sleep.

Besides, I can't wait to get you in
front of a warm fire.

Sounds good to me.

It tastes great.

It's not exactly the most romantic way
to put it.

Okay.

Your lips are like roses.

When your family makes wine, I think the
term is rosé.

What's the matter?

Reserve selection.

Then why are you still reserving time
for Danny Como?

Because he's rich, he's good -looking,

drives a Maserati, and we have a lot of
fun together.

Melissa, I think I'm falling in love
with you.

Sometimes I get the feeling it's a one
-way street.

I think your dynamite is not enough.

I'm just not ready to get emotionally
involved right now.

You already are.

We both are.

Don't take things so seriously, Cole.

But I don't drive a Maserati.

That's it, isn't it?

it tonight.

Uh -huh.

Julia started to relax a little bit
tonight.

Yeah, until Emma walked in.

She is one bizarre lady.

Yeah, there's something.

Weren't you dancing with her?

Well, if you want to call it that. She
was rattling on about Dr. Banning and

Hayden Clinic.

You know, I think she enjoyed that
session with him.

Honey, this is what... got us into
trouble in the first place. Maybe we

just stay out of it for a while, you
know?

It's too late to back off now.

She knows something about my father's
death.

One way or another, I'm going to find
out what it is.

Don't you get upstairs and get in bed.

Don't be so serious.

Emma, where have you been? Charlie's
been looking everywhere for you.

Oh, Mother, I went to the most wondrous
party. You didn't have my permission to

go to a party.

Well, I heard the music and my feet just
came running.

You have some explaining to do.

Oh, Mother, don't worry about Julia. I
kept my eye on her.

I didn't invite her to the party. She
just showed up. Well, why didn't you

her home at once? Because she said that
she would tell Chase everything, unless

I let her stay.

She's got a very dangerous new weapon,
Mother, and she's not afraid to use it.

Call up yet?

No, and I'm not going to be the one to
wake him.

One hour. Well,

let's just say he wasn't feeling any
pain last night.

No, no, no.

He will today.

Carl. Morning. How you doing? Good.

I brought you the minutes from
Thursday's board meeting. Oh, thanks.

some coffee?

No, no. I've got to get to the office.
Listen, did Cole get home all right last

night? He's up in his room. Why?

Bill, he never made it back to the
house.

Let me wake him up. Maybe he knows
something.

No, don't bother.

I bet I know what they did.

They went up to the cabin to look at the
moon.

They've done it before.

Well, he's a good boy. He'll call.

Kids!

They're so unpredictable.

Thanks again.

See ya.

You wanted to see me?

Yes.

I talked to Carlo Agretti this
afternoon, and he wants you to escort

the country club at Tillian.

And I assured him you would.

I've made other plans. I'm sorry.

This is not a request.

Look, you wanted me to work in the
vineyard, I'll work in the vineyard.

Whatever's best for Falcon Crest, okay?

You're according Melissa is what's best
for Falcon Crest.

Grandmother, look.

You know I don't love her.

I can't stand her father and she doesn't
care for me.

I'd just as soon give up my inheritance.

Have you ever considered what the finest
wine would be without its container?

Be nothing.

Well, that's what you'd be without
falcon crest.

I've heard a thing.

Yeah, of course I will.

All right.

Listen, let me know when she gets home,
will you?

Okay. Thank you.

Who was that?

Arlene Helton.

And I haven't gotten home yet either.

Well, hang over her now. We ought to
wake Cole up.

Yeah. I'll go.

Thank you.

You're sure about this? I'm positive. I
talked with Dr. Cook myself.

Chase is demanding all the coroner's
records from Jason's death. But there

aren't any records. That's right. That's
what I've been trying to tell you.

See, he wants an autopsy.

That's impossible.

Jason's body was burnt beyond
recognition.

Chase is starting to make waves. Now, I
get the feeling that he thinks there may

be something wrong here. But there isn't
anything wrong, Turk.

It's been almost a year since Jason
died. Now, I want to put an end to all

this. Mrs. Channing, I should have
called for an autopsy.

Now, the reason I didn't was because you
asked me not to.

Now, Chase is a member of the Board of
Supervisors, and I'd hate to lose my

badge over... I wouldn't ask you to do
anything to jeopardize your job.

I just want you to remember where your
real support comes from.

What are you trying to say, Mrs. Cheney?

Good day, Turk.

Did they call or anything?

Nobody's heard a word.

Do they have a telephone up at the
cabin?

They don't even have running water.

Well, they're probably just up there
having a good time.

I'd better go warn them before their
parents find out how good.

Want to come with me?

Sure.

I guess I had a little more to drink
than I should have last night.

Tell me about it.

Hello, Philip.

This is Angela.

I wonder if you could spare some time.

Well, it seems the chase is more
resolved than ever to dredge up the past

think we should convince him how wrong
he is

Why

don't

you look around back and see if you can
find their car

Hey, Bill!

Ann!

It's Cole.

Nothing. They probably just went
someplace else.

Yeah, I guess so.

Can't see much inside.

It's a great spot, isn't it?

Yeah, I bet that's good fishing in
there.

I kind of wish we'd all come.

Yeah.

is the inevitable tragedy that all of us
face.

But when two young people like Ann and
Bill are struck down in the prime of

life, words of comfort do not come
easily.

Bill Reed was a vibrant young man with a
spirit of adventure and the heart of a

poet.

A few months ago he shared with me
something that he had written.

Perhaps we can find solace in his words.

Let now the night begin.

Let now the voyage begin.

I float as one with water.

In the water, part of the flow, the
endless flow, pull,

rush of the living water. My way is lit
with the love I knew,

and the light of the stars is as bright
as the shattered fragments of the

rainbow.

The sounds of voices I loved, seed,
wrote in.

And distant.

Cole?

Cole?

Time to get out of there.

This hasn't been easy on any of us.

Bill was a good friend and so was Anne.

Come back inside. I can't. I just... I
just want to be alone right now.

The accident wasn't your fault, Cole.

But whose was it?

He wanted us to go with him.

He wanted me to drive.

Look, if he was that drunk, he should
have gone home with his dad.

But he didn't.

Now he's dead.

We're standing here making up excuses
why it wasn't our fault.

You're making up excuses.

I didn't have anything to do with it,
and neither did you.

Go back inside if you can stand it.

I just can't.

Call me later, please.

Good morning, Charlie.

Good morning, Mr. Erickson. How's Mrs.
Channing? She's anxiously waiting to see

you.

I thought I heard a familiar voice.

What brings you up here?

How are you, Lance?

I'd say that all depends on why you're
here. If it's a friendly visit, I'm

But if it's to change Grandmother's
will, then... So is a possibility.

Your Sheriff Tobias seems to feel that
Chase is going to demand a coroner's

inquest. He doesn't have any evidence to
warrant an investigation.

Face it, Angela.

Your nephew is a county supervisor now.

Tobias is running scared.

But even if there were an inquest, I
can't see what Chase could possibly

How's Emma doing these days?

She's as erratic as ever.

Does she still remember?

Sometimes. And I'm sure she'd just love
to tell a packed courtroom about her

little peccadillo.

What would you suggest?

What does Chase really want, above all
else?

I don't know.

To control Falcon Crest.

Then offer it to him.

Oh, that's not the most attractive
proposition I can think of.

I'm not suggesting that you actually
give him anything.

Just let him think you are.

He's no fool, Philip.

We can simply give him a copy of a legal
document naming him as your beneficiary

on the condition that he abandon this
witch hunt.

Now that could be dangerous.

Obviously it could.

My personal opinion is that if Chase
thinks he'll inherit Falcon Crest...

He'll forget he ever had a father.

Well, why don't you see him and talk to
him?

Kind of test the water.

Hi, I saw the light, so I figured
that...

Well, I want you to know you

missed one of your mother's better
meals.

Hey, are you doing some writing?

No.

Well, honey, maybe you should.

You know, help you organize your
thoughts a little bit.

Don't worry about it, Mom.

If anything like your mother, it might
put you to sleep, too.

Are you working on a bonsai vineyard?
You're cutting everything down to the

You know, if I'd known they'd been
drinking that much, I never would have

them drive.

You're not responsible for what happened
to Ann and Bill.

Maybe not, but they were in my home
drinking my wine.

And I was with them that night.

Does that make me responsible?

really knows what happened.

I guess we never will.

My heart's not in this today.

Where are you going?

Going to the office. Tell your mother
I'll be home for dinner.

Oh, Julie.

I didn't hear you come in. I must have
been dozing.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have awakened
you.

Oh, don't be silly.

That's all they let me do here is eat
and sleep.

I brought you some flowers.

They're beautiful.

I usually give them to the nurse to give
to the children's ward.

I'm going to keep these.

It's not often an old man gets flowers
from his best girl.

What old man?

I came here to ask if you'd escort me to
the cotillion at the country club next

weekend.

I'd love to, but I think I'm tied down a
little.

How's your mother?

Oh, she's fine.

I mean, well, you know, mother.

Just have everything just perfect.

How's Emma?

Emma is fine.

Really fine.

And how are you?

I'm too mean to die.

Oh, Daddy.

Oh.

I'm sorry, Julie. I was only kidding.
I'm not going anywhere.

Like Mark Twain said, reports of my
death have been exaggerated.

I'll be all right.

Just... Seeing you like this, I...

I'm sorry to be so long, but one of my
patients has had false labor pains for

the last two weeks.

Last month is always the hardest.

Are those the results?

It's good you came in.

The test is positive.

Pregnant?

Don't look so distraught.

It happens.

How long?

How long have you been pregnant?

Well, at this stage it's hard to say,
but my guess is... Six weeks.

Eight at the outside.

Have you told the father?

I wanted to be sure.

But you will tell him.

I don't know yet.

Melissa, you've been coming to me for
several years.

I'm aware of your pressures at home, but
the father of this child has a right to

know.

I need time to think.

You do know who the father is.

Philip, I haven't seen you since my
father's funeral. That's right. Have a

Frank. Thank you.

Well, congratulations on your victory,
Chase.

County supervisor, powerful physician.

I'm beginning to wonder about that, but
thank you.

Let me tell you why I'm here.

Ever since your victory, you've been
attempting to re -examine the

of your father's death.

Well, I've been trying to find out the
truth ever since I arrived in this

valley. Does that bother you?

It's more Angela Channing's concern than
mine.

Of course, you realize that whatever you
do is a reflection upon her good name.

Well, that's an interesting way of
looking at it.

I'm aware that you and Mrs. Channing
have not had the best of relationships,

that could change, provided you could
show a certain...

Flexibility?

Flexibility.

Well, that's never been an outstanding
family characteristic.

Chase, you know that Angela has only two
concerns.

That Falcon Crest remain in the family
and that it continue to flourish.

Personally, I think that you could help
her to achieve both.

She needs someone like you to carry on.

Look, Philip.

Your time.

is as valuable as mine, so let's save a
whole lot of it, huh?

Angela could sign, seal, and deliver to
me personally her deed to Falcon Crest,

and it wouldn't stop me from searching
for the truth.

Despite what you may think, Jason's
death was simply an unfortunate

But nobody has anything to worry about,
do they?

You sure haven't said much?

Talk about me. I haven't heard from you
in days.

Not a lot on my mind.

Well, for your information, so have I. A
lot of people.

I hope that doesn't put a dent in your
martyr complex.

What's your problem?

I'm surprised you even asked.

Carl, this isn't the Grand Prix.

Taking this road twice as fast in your
car.

It's a big difference between my car and
this thing, you know.

Hang on.

Please.

No, you're crazy.

I don't understand what your problem is.
Right now, it's you.

Look, let me at least drive you home.

You aren't the only ride in town.

I'll just wait for the first Maserati
that comes along.

Melissa!

Melissa!

Now what makes you think she'll even
marry me?

Because you're the heir to Falcon Crest,
and her father's in favor of it.

Mr. Erickson is here to see me. Oh,
thank you.

How are you, Philip? Come on in. Lance
was just leaving. Lance?

Philip?

Come on in. Sit down.

Thank you.

Now, you did speak to Chase.

I'm afraid he's a very single -minded
individual.

The title to Falcon Crest is not his
principal goal.

Well, if he doesn't want Falcon Crest,
what does he want?

I believe he said something about the
truth.

If anything, he's more suspicious than
ever.

Well, where does that leave us?

Carlo Agretti is the only man in this
valley whose holdings remotely rival

yours.

Melissa's is there.

And I understand Carlo would look...
favorably upon Lance as his son -in

Well, I like Carlo.

Thank you.

I just wish Lance was as fond of his
daughter.

Then we'll have to overcome his
reluctance.

After all, more land is more power.

Heck of a time of year to be chomping
firewood, isn't it?

Better than during the harvest.

Yeah.

I've done that myself.

Run for miles at a time.

Swim, shout, scream.

Even pounded a few walls.

What are you talking about?

Vietnam.

How many people you airlifted out of
there were friends of yours?

It got to the point where I decided it
wasn't worth having friends anymore.

Not if they were going to get themselves
killed.

Not if I was going to have to pick up
the pieces.

Did you ever kill anybody?

I was a medevac pilot, not a gunner.

But did anyone ever die because of you?

There was a... a morning.

There was a little village about 30
miles south of the DMZ.

Shell.

There were dozens of casualties.

We didn't have time to take them all
out.

So, the medics and I decided which ones
we were going to save.

We decided who was going to live and who
was going to die.

Lots of other times, too, more than I
care to remember.

Bill Reed died because of me.

It's all my fault.

What are you doing?

What does it look like?

Work, but isn't that a little unusual, I
mean, for you?

Did you come here to ask me a question,
Emma?

Yes.

Are you mad at me?

Mad at you? For what?

Killing Uncle Jason.

I didn't mean it, but he fell.

I know.

Over a cliff in a pickup truck, I heard
the story.

No.

Before that...

Here in the winery.

I pushed him.

And he fell.

Does grandmother know?

Of course.

Hello? Hi, Chase.

Boy, am I glad to see you.

Give me a hand here, will you? Sure.

You hold the bottom there while I get
these pins in? All right, got it lined

You know, Bill was supposed to hang
these screens a month ago.

Never got around to it.

There you go.

What do you think?

It's all right.

You know, I could never get that kid to
lift a hand around here.

Carl, we'd like to talk to you a little
bit.

Chase, you have been a good friend
through all of this.

I appreciate it, really, but I'm fine.

I'm not doing so well.

Bill never should have died that night.

If it weren't for me, he might still be
alive.

Cole, you had nothing to do with it. You
weren't even in the car.

Go on, son.

Bill was in no condition to drive.

Had a few drinks.

He asked me to go up to the cabin with
him.

I told him I had other plans.

I didn't think anything like this would
happen.

I'm so sorry.

It's cold.

You didn't kill him. You didn't have
anything to do with it.

It was a stupid, ridiculous, senseless
accident.

He was drunk.

He shouldn't have been driving.

You couldn't have prevented it. Nobody
could have prevented it.

You take care of this boy, Chase.

You know, I think maybe I will take some
time off.

Putter around here a little bit and then
maybe go up to Seattle.

Say hello to my daughter.

It'd be good to see her now.

We'll look after the place for you.

Lance, I thought you were supposed to be
working.

I don't think so.

Really?

Really. I just got finished talking to
Emma and she told me about how Uncle

Jason died.

I suppose you think that information
will do you some good.

Well, it'll certainly keep me out of the
fields, won't it?

And in your will.

What makes you think you can get by
blackmailing me?

Because you know as well as I do what
Chase will do if I tell him about this.

Yes.

Your inheritance will be radically
diminished.

And so will your empire.

Well, now, Lance, you know you're still
my heir.

I didn't cut you out of the will. I just
added to it.

And I would suggest that you start
thinking about a honeymoon.

I'm not marrying her.

Well, then I think you should know about
the provisions I've left in the will.

Everything will be left in trust.

And you will not control Falcon Crest.

Unless I marry Melissa, right?

Well, don't look so unhappy.

You've got 90 days.
