All language subtitles for Falcon Crest s02e09 The Vigil

Do you think we're being punished?

For what?

Being in love? Maybe if I'd been a
better person, my baby wouldn't be in

fighting for his life. I've never even
held him in my arms.

I never knew you had such a big heart. I
just made a down payment on the Tuscany

Valley. That baby needs to be held,
loved.

Don't you understand that? I want you to
get over to the hospital and start

acting like a father for a change.

You never change, do you?

They dropped all the charges.

I heard.

I'm happy for you, Cole.

How's Joseph?

He's not doing very well.

He's so little.

Just a tiny speck of life.

I keep praying for a miracle.

It's strange.

We made that life in there, Melissa.

You and I.

Can't they do anything?

Angela's got every specialist she could
find.

She's still trying to get through to Dr.
Carlitz and the best neonatalist in the

world. He's supposed to be a miracle
worker when it comes to newborn infants.

I wish I could take you in my arms.

Hold you.

Ease your pain.

I know.

But you shouldn't be here.

But I'm his father.

Do you think we're being punished?

For what?

Being in love?

No.

Maybe if I were a better person, my baby
wouldn't be in there fighting for his

life. You can't think that way. I can't
help it.

When I was pregnant, I thought of my
baby as a means to ultimately control

Falcon Crest.

But somewhere along the way, he stopped
being an object.

I really... I said I love him and I want
him.

I've never even held him in my arms.

Melissa.

May I speak to you?

Thank you for being here.

I'll be back, okay?

Honey, honey, that's going to wrinkle
like that. Surely they have valet

in the hotel. Well, I am taking a
traveling iron.

A penny saved is a penny earned.

You know, I'm a little nervous about
leaving.

You don't think it's possible they could
bring Cole up on new charges, do you?

No.

Well, that means that somebody set him
up and that somebody is still out there

and I'm always... Don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it.

So I guess that's everything.

Okay,

we're going with you.

You gonna be all right? Mm -hmm. I'm
gonna be fine. Hollywood's gonna be

It's the three people I'm leaving behind
that worry me.

Oh, don't worry about us.

As you know, Dr.

Edson is at that symposium in Leningrad.

We've left messages for him everywhere,
but he just doesn't respond.

He's got to come.

Mrs. Channing is trying to reach him
through sources in Rome.

Melissa, you've got to get more rest.

Couldn't I just go in there and hold my
baby?

Touch him.

Let him know how much I love him. How
much I want him to live.

I'm sorry. I wish you could.

He must be kept in sterile conditions.

Damn your sterile conditions.

Here we are. Careful.

There we go. Come on, let's go this way.

Morning. I just love to smell fresh
flowers.

Yes? I love the way you smell.

Women don't smell.

They have aromas.

Aromas! Ah, yes, like sea breezes.

Fine wine.

And good lovin'. Come on, we're gonna
miss dinner.

Okay.

Thank you.

I brought some cabernet. Good.

I'm just sorry that I can't stay the
night.

Melissa?

Nova, baby.

I should go see him.

If you just hold on, I don't think it'll
be much longer.

I just miss you the night you're not
here.

That's all.

Someday it'll be different.

Someday.

Someday.

Hello, Philip.

Angela.

9 .6.

That'll be a good harvest. Thank you,
Dominic.

Well, have you heard anything?

Nothing.

I've got a new team of investigators I'm
looking for, but it's as if Emma's just

disappeared from the face of the earth.

Well, I want you to start legal
proceedings, giving me control of Emma's

in the Globe.

I'm afraid I'd be laughed out of court.

Emma would have to be absent at least
seven years before we could take any

action of that kind.

Well, she shouldn't have been given that
stock in the first place.

Poor Emma. She's mentally incompetent,
Philip.

We tried that tactic at the inquest last
year, remember?

The judge still allowed Emma to take the
stand.

Then I'm going to have to continue
buying stock on the open market.

It's getting awfully expensive.

I don't have a choice, do I?

Please. I'd be delighted to have come.
Thank you.

I have never met so many strangers in my
whole life.

Where are you headed?

It's a secret.

I'm wanted.

If you ever go to the Tuscany Valley in
California, don't ever let on that we

ran into each other.

My husband and I visited the Tuscany
Valley years ago.

Really? My mother owns the Falcon Crest
Winery there.

My sister and I own the New Globe. We're
very prominent.

Do you like wine?

I don't drink.

And you shouldn't either.

What?

Someone's following me.

A man in the plaid pants in the back of
the bus.

I think my mother put him up to it.

That's all right. Don't worry.

I'll give him the slip at the next stop.

Here you are. Keep the change. Thank
you.

Can I help you? Yes. Maggie Gioberti for
Gerald Clayton.

Gioberti. Gioberti.

Sorry. There's no pass for you.

Well, um, Mr. Clayton is a neighbor of
mine in the Tuscany Valley. I know I

an appointment with him. Maybe he...
Look, lady, I wish I could help you, but

you don't have a pass...

I can't let you on the lot. Sorry.

Hi.

How are you?

You remember me?

No, I'm sorry. Oh, come on. Of course
you do.

Last year, the Academy Awards.

I'm a payroll clerk. I don't go to the
awards.

Oh, that's impossible. Hey, how are you?
Yeah, we were at the Governor's Ball.

We talked. We danced.

Lady, I have never been to the Oscars.
Neither have I. Do you know where

Bungalow 2 is?

Yeah, it's right over there.

Aha. Well, thank you. And maybe I'll see
you at the Cannes Film Festival.

Sure thing.

Hi, Vicki.

Hi, Chase.

Hello.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Mark it there.

I was at the hospital.

Tell Joseph.

He doesn't seem to be getting any
better.

I know this must be hard on you.

Melissa hasn't even left his side.

She's really wearing herself out.

I don't suppose there's anything we can
do.

All we can do is wait.

You really think you can get a pinot
noir out of this land?

My mother gave up on this property years
ago.

Well, she was right years ago.

This new strain's more resilient. They
say it'll grow almost anywhere.

It sounds like it'll probably grow like
weeds, the vine that ate the valley.

I knew planting would take a lot of
money, Chase.

I think we can make money out of this in
the long run.

It'll be five years before you see any
harvest, Chase.

With the tight money market the way it
is, that could be a long wait.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Come on, let me show you the rest.

Have you discussed it with my mother?
No, but I will.

I'm sorry you were stopped at the gate.
I really did send down a pass. Oh,

please, I'm sure you did. No problem.

Has Mr. Clayton read my script?

Yes, but as well written as it is, he
doesn't think it's his kind of project.

Mr. Clayton suggested that I return it
to you with his sincere apology.

Not suitable at this point in time, I
see.

I hope you won't be discouraged.

Remember, it's just one person's
opinion.

Look, Miss... Snyder. Miss Snyder, I
have worked so hard on this script. Do

think it would be possible just to meet
with Mr. Clayton so he could tell me

what he thinks is wrong with it? I'm
sorry, but he's not in yet.

And he does have a full calendar this
week.

The whole week?

You might try one of the literary
agencies.

Get yourself some representation to get
you in some doors.

I see. All right. Well, thank you very
much for your help.

Good luck.

Thanks.

No.

Absolutely not, Chase.

Angela, you're not listening to me.
You're not experienced in these matters.

am. Years of research have gone into
developing this new hybrid. It's all

in that university report I gave you.
Read it. I know all about the

of wine research.

But a new vineyard is too expensive for
us right now.

I'm putting in a new vineyard here.

There isn't any money.

I've already talked with Julia.

Falcon Crest has an investment fund
specifically reserved for new projects.

There is no investment fund.

I find that hard to believe.

Well, believe what you like.

This parcel is ideally suited to the new
hybrid.

And I'm going to the accountants and get
the money to put them in.

The new readership figures are in.

Circulation's up 6%. What about the
Compson baby?

Condition's guarded.

Did you reach Dr. Edson?

I left word at the hotel, called him at
the consulate, symposium.

Why does this baby mean so much to you?

That baby could be the key to Falcon
Crest.

Get a hold of Burke in Oslo. Tell him I
want Dr. Edson on a plane tonight.

Melissa?

Well, I'll be over to see you and Joseph
sometime today.

Now, you call me if there are any
changes, will you?

All right, dear.

Have you talked to Melissa?

The doctors aren't very encouraging.

Aren't you going to the hospital?

No. Gino Vitale is calling me back from
Rome.

I asked him to talk to Dr.

Edson for us. You know, Gino owes us a
favor. Remember I cured the fungus in

vineyard? I remember.

Have you seen Lance?

No. Probably stayed all night in San
Francisco.

But I want to see him. Here I am.

Good morning, ladies.

Good morning.

I'll be at the hospital.

Well, there you are.

Is there something I can do for you?

Chase has gone over to the accounting
office.

Now, I want you to get over there and
see that he doesn't get anything he's

supposed to have.

Why the sudden interest in accounting?

He wants to plant a new vineyard. Well,
let's let him start a new vineyard. Keep

him out of our hair for a while.

I'm using that money to gain control of
the globe.

You are? Yes.

Well, let me take care of it,
Grandmother.

See that you do.

I will.

Come on, Vicki.

Go for it.

Come on, go for it.

Almost there.

Come on.

Put it on.

Okay, keep it up now. Don't die on me.

How'd I do?

42 minutes, 10 seconds.

42? Nick!

You're doing great. You're doing just
fine.

Buck, because you took a minute and a
half off your record doesn't mean you're

ready for the marathon yet.

Get back.

The key is keeping our overhead down and
our volume production up. I think so.

Hello, Chase.

Well, Lance, what are you doing here?

Well, I heard you might come by.

I was just going to have lunch with Mr.
Tanner.

Oh, Chase Giberti.

Fred Tanner, chief controller.

Ah, just a man I want to see.

Would you care to join us?

Look, I'm not really interested in
lunch. I want to take a look at the

records. Well, corporate bookkeeping is
a rather sophisticated business, Mr.

Giberti. Well, I've done some
bookkeeping running my father's

Falcon Crest is a multinational
organization.

It's a little more than just reading a
ledger sheet.

We store all our information in
computers.

Well, I'm sure you won't mind helping me
find what I need.

Well, first you have to know what it is
you want to find out. It's very simple.

Where is Falcon Crest Reserve Capital
going?

Oh, well, I'm afraid that's rather
vague. I'm not sure I understand your

question. This isn't an idle request.

I want access to everything.

Accounts payable, accounts receivable,
balance sheets, equity statements,

corporate tax records, the whole ball of
wax.

Even on a computer, that would take
hours.

Well, I can't think of anything better
to do this afternoon.

I'll meet you in your office in an hour.

You look crunchy.

I'm glowing.

Yeah, well, I don't think Mom would like
you glowing on her couch.

Cole, I'm exhausted. I just ran 6 .2
miles in 42 minutes, 10 seconds.

Not bad.

I have Nick to thank. He really pushed
me.

No doubt you're eager to please.

Nick's my coach, Cole.

I guess old habits die hard.

Why don't you just lay off?

Nick Hogan's married.

You're getting involved with an older
married man again.

Didn't you know?

Sure, I knew.

Then why set yourself up for trouble?

Who are you to judge? I don't think
you're in any position to be handing out

advice.

You're right.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.

No, you're right.

Vicki, you know Melissa's baby?

Yeah.

Melissa swears she's never slept with
anyone but me.

Not even Lance?

Well, I find that kind of hard to
believe.

Have you told Mom and Dad?

Nobody knows.

Cole, I think you should talk to them.

Yeah, I know, but not right now.

The baby's liable to die.

It's just not the right time.

No, we're not interested in signing any
new talent right now.

No, I don't expect we will be in the
near future.

No, it would not help if you came in in
person.

Thank you for calling. Bye.

May I help you?

Yes, I'm looking for an agent.

I'm sorry.

I know. You're not interested in signing
any new talent just now. I've heard it

about a thousand times, but... I'm truly
sorry, but that is our office policy.

You can't get any work produced unless
you have an agent, and you can't get an

agent unless you have work produced.

What are you supposed to do?

Now, I have a piece of original work
here that I really think speaks for

Now, I'd just like to have somebody read
it. Do you see these scripts here?

All these scripts came in this morning,
and tomorrow morning there will be more.

Now, we don't ask for them. They just
come.

But mine is good. Maybe it is, but it
costs this office money every time we

a script, not to mention the postage
that it costs to return them.

I'll be sending all of these back this
afternoon, unread.

But if nobody reads them, how do you
know if they're any good?

Silly question.

Well, you should come to the valley more
often.

Being a gentleman farmer seems to suit
you.

Well, I like to get up here and take in
the sights now and then. It helps me

unwind. Here, please, have a seat. Thank
you. How long are you going to stay?

I'm flying back tonight.

I understand my niece, Maggie Gioberti,
sent you a script.

Yes, she did, and it wasn't bad.

But it's really not the kind of thing I
do.

Well, she does have talent, doesn't she?

Unfortunately, it takes more in talent
these days.

A little luck can help, too.

Well, suppose there were an investor
interested in backing that script.

Well, I... Then I'd have to say that
Maggie has both talent and luck.

Well, I've always wanted to do something
for Maggie.

The script has potential, but it is
expensive.

Well, perhaps you could encourage her
and help her out. You know, she's had a

rather rough time.

And, um...

Maybe make her stay in Hollywood a
little more pleasant.

I'll do everything I can to help your
niece if the backing is there.

Oh, it is. Don't worry about that.

But she mustn't know that I have
anything to do with it.

It's your money.

You're entitled to some creative
control.

Then I'll have the papers drawn up. I
have just one question, Angela.

Why are you really doing this?

Well, I just think that Maggie should
spend as much time as possible in

Hollywood.

With you.

You could be right.

I usually am.

doing some creative booking.

Chase, no matter how long you sit at
that machine, two and two are still

to come up four.

Then how do you explain the fact that
two months ago, Falcon Crest was

solvent, and now its capital reserves
are nearly drained?

Well, it's an expensive time of the
year. We're getting ready for the

You're talking about an incredible
amount of money.

Somewhere there's a hole in your bucket.

Well, if you have a better explanation,
I'd love to hear it.

No.

You tell me, Mr. Tanner, in clear,
concise language, now,

or I'm bringing in an independent
auditor.

Chase, for Pete's sake.

I didn't know he'd be smart enough to
look at the third quarter first.

What are we going to do?

Mr. Tower, you wouldn't mind telling my
grandmother about this, would you?

Come in.

Hi, Dad.

How's it going?

Let's put it this way. I wish your
mother were here.

Dad,

there's something I need to talk to you
about.

Sure. Is this a light or a dark?

I don't know.

This might sound kind of childish, but
do you think someone should tell the

truth no matter what the cost?

Well, that depends. I

think it's something each person has to
decide on his own.

But in general, what do you think?

Well, you know the old expression, and
the truth will set you free.

This isn't any help at all, is it?

No, not really.

Oh, I'll get it.

Hello?

Cole? Hi.

It's your mother, the writer.

Hi, Mom. How you doing?

I'm great. How are you?

Oh, I'm fine.

Good, good. Listen, is your dad there?

Sure.

Thanks.

Maggie. Honey, Daryl Clayton just
called. He wants to option my script.

found a backer for it.

Hey, that's great.

Congratulations.

Yeah, he was up in the valley all this
time. He just called. He wants to see

Are you coming home?

No, no, no, no. He's going to fly down
here. He wants me to stay in L .A. to

rewrite the script.

Evidently, he wants to start right away.

Well, I'm very proud of you.

and a lot of distance between us. I
don't know exactly how long I'm going to

down here.

Well, don't apologize for success.

Well, here I've been complaining about
your obsession with work, and now I'm

doing the same thing myself.

No, no, I know how important this is to
you.

You think maybe you could come down here
for a while?

Well, I can't get away right now. I've
locked horns with Angela, and I can't

afford to stray too far.

What's she up to now?

The top and crest records show a cash
flow problem. I'm trying to get to the

bottom of it.

How could Falcon Crest have a cash flow
problem?

That's the big question.

I don't know. Suddenly I feel as if
we're in two completely different

No, we're just on different tracks right
now.

Yeah, I guess that's all it is.

I love you.

I love you, too.

See you soon.

Okay, honey. Bye.

Bye -bye.

Hello?

That's nice, dear.

Wait. That's not all.

My horoscope said that I was going to
meet a new friend, and here you are.

Lucky me.

Have you ever testified on a witness
stand?

No.

I testified at an inquest once.

It was very exciting.

Everyone listens to every word you say.

On the other bus, there was a van
sitting next to me.

He was smuggling this little teeny dog
underneath his coat.

We just laughed and we had such a
wonderful time.

Don't you just love meeting new people?

I know I've been rambling on and on,
but, you know, in the past...

I used to be so unclear, but now I've
really become so lucid.

Don't you agree?

What do you mean he's taking a turn for
the worse?

You do something.

There's very little we can do with a
respiratory infection.

Let me go in there and touch him.

Let me hold him.

I need to be with him.

Melissa, this is Dr. Edson. How do you
do?

Thank you for coming, doctor.

I'm Dr. Howell. Doctor, which way is the
patient, please? This way, doctor.

You'll help my baby, won't you?

I'll try.

I want to scrap her, certainly.

How did you find him?

Oh, just a matter of knowing how.

No, no, I agree.

Come in.

Uh -huh.

Yeah, I agree.

Okay, try to get back to me on that,
will you?

Okay, bye -bye.

Hey, Nick.

I have those budgets for your signature.
Oh, great, thanks.

Nice picture.

Good.

Thanks.

Nick!

Maybe you can help me out.

What do you need?

Well, I've been going over the Falcon
Crest books.

Something's rotten.

Well, how can I help?

I need to consult with a good CPA. Do
you know somebody outside the Valley or

the Bay Area?

Well, a friend of mine from school is a
CPA, but that's way down in Los Angeles.

Yeah, that's fine. That would give me a
chance to see Maggie.

His name is Tom Stern. You want me to
call him? It's short notice, I know, but

I'd like to fly down there this
afternoon if you can set it up.

Okay, I'll see what I can do. Great,
thanks.

You let Chase leave the office with
those readouts. What did you expect me

do, grab them out of his hands? He
wasn't supposed to see them. I'm not

about Chase with the readouts. He
doesn't even know what they mean. Don't

underestimate Chase.

I can handle him. Well, you haven't
handled him so far.

And what about your son? If he should
die, can you handle that?

Now, I want you to get over to the
hospital and start acting like a father

change. Today.

you think I'm doing here. Oh, what a
nice surprise.

Oh, wait, could you just give me a
minute?

It's messier. Exactly the Hollywood
welcome I was expecting.

Yeah, well, you know, I get involved.

Oh, I guess I could take a coffee break.

I hope so. I've got an hour. What do you
mean you've got an hour?

I'm having Falcon Crest Books audited.
I'm meeting with an accountant here in L

.A. Silly me. I thought you came all the
way down here to see me.

Oh, I did.

Yeah, lucky the hotel was on the way.

Well, that's not fair. You've had your
nose in that script for weeks now.

I guess we're both becoming a little
obsessed.

So how did you find

Dr. Edson when no one else could?

Oh, I usually get what I want.

Eventually.

I don't know how to thank you. You don't
have to.

I just hope Edson's as good as they say.

You know, the worst part is seeing my
baby in that incubator.

Not being able to touch him.

I can deal with anything with that.

I'm sorry.

Nothing to be sorry about.

You never change.

anticipate a problem?

Working in Hollywood, I know all about
creative accounting.

I'd say Angela Channing could give the
studios a run for their money.

It turns out you were right.

Falcon Crest has been doing business
with a lot of foreign companies.

Seems to have accelerated lately.

I've never heard of any of these
companies.

I'm having some research done.

We'll find out who owns them.

My hunch is right. You won't have to
look too far.

If money doesn't just disappear, it goes
somewhere.

I'll give you a call with some answers
just as soon as possible.

Thanks, Tom.

I appreciate the help.

What can Dr. Edson be doing in there?

It's been over an hour.

Why don't you just try to relax,
Melissa?

I want my baby to live.

We all do.

Yes, Miss Hunter.

I have some papers that need your
authorization.

Mrs. Compson?

Yes?

Joseph is starting to respond.

But I don't think his problem is purely
medical.

I don't think I understand you, Doctor.
The child has had no human contact.

No affection since his birth.

He needs love, doesn't he?

Sometimes that can be the best medicine
of all.

What do you want me to do?

Hold him.

Be a mother to him.

That's what I wanted to do from the
beginning, but the doctors wouldn't let

They were right.

But now Joseph is somewhat stronger.

The drugs have done their work.

Now he is ready for you.

Well, let's go in there and see him.

You know, you have such strong feeling
for your characters.

They wouldn't be friends of yours.

No, no. I think I may have modeled some
qualities after Fred. Well, I especially

like the strength that you gave the main
character.

Oh, good, good. I'm glad you found her
interesting.

Very interesting.

In fact, I seem to recognize many of the
qualities of Angela Channing.

Well, now, Angela may have been a
jumping -off point, but the character's

fictional. Well, it's to your credit
you've made the characters come alive.

They're all vivid and powerfully
dramatic individuals.

So where'd you learn to write
screenplay?

Uh, I guess I taught myself.

You have a rare gift.

If you're not afraid of work.

Not at all.

Then staying here in Los Angeles to
polish the script is no problem.

Sure, it's a problem, but if I have to,
I can for a while.

Good.

Oh.

Don't tie me.

He won't break.

Hold him close.

That inferior heartbeat.

My baby.

Where's Melissa?

With her son.

Oh.

I called Gino Vitale in Rome and asked
him to contact Dr. Edson several days

ago.

How did you manage to bring him here so
quickly?

I have found that the personal approach
is usually more effective.

At least he is here now.

Well, that's all that matters, I
suppose.

Thank you very much, Richard.

You're welcome.

I have a private matter to discuss with
Mrs. Channing.

I'll be outside.

Does the name Raptor Enterprises mean
anything to you?

Yes. I'm the principal stockholder.

Ah.

Well, uh...

I understand that it is attempting to
acquire a majority position in the New

Globe.

Isn't that interesting?

Less interesting than it is futile.

Because if you bought up all the
available stock and combined it with

you'd still fall short.

You're forgetting Emma's shares.

No, I'm not.

But I don't think you can count on Chase
Gioberti's cooperation.

Chase is my nephew.

I'm quite sure he'll do what's right for
the family.

Then I wonder why he hasn't told you
where Emma has gone.

Because if anyone knows, he does.

I hope you need some penny mail. I'm
overstocked.

What I need is the truth.

Why didn't you tell me you're married?

I guess it never came up.

I would have liked to know, that's all.

Well, I didn't try to mislead you,
honest.

But you did, didn't you?

I guess I should have told you. I'm
sorry.

Where do we go from here?

Well, I'd still like to coach you.

Will that be enough?

Vicki.

Now, this is a surprise.

Nick was just giving me some pointers on
running.

Nick, I just wanted to tell you that Tom
Stern was very helpful. I appreciate

the recommendation.

Go mention it.

Oh, it looks like I'm interrupting a
coaching session, huh?

No.

Thank you, Doctor.

How can we ever repay you? If you could
help me to the airport, I do need to

return to my symposium.

I'll have Charlie bring the car around.

Thank you.

You're already stretched to the limit. I
don't care if I have to risk

everything.
