All language subtitles for Falcon Crest s04e09 The Trump Card

I want to be with you.

I know. I knew from the moment we met.

I don't think he's the type of man that
you should be seen with.

He's my friend.

He's a womanizer, and he's not to be
trusted.

You found something.

I know who your real father is.

Are you trying to seduce me?

Of course.

Julia, you've got to come home. Mother
will get you the help you need.

I can't come back to Falcon, Christ. If
I do, I'll kill again. I know it.

Missed me, didn't you?

No. Don't get near me. You're dripping
wet.

Did you come here to check on your
dwindling inheritance?

It's a third more than you'll ever get.
Excuse me. Maybe.

But you know something? If long -lost
relatives keep showing up, you're just

going to end up with a gardener's shack.

Oh, I'm not too worried.

Our divorce will be settled soon, and
then I'll be able to rely on your hefty

alimony payment.

Bye.

You look beautiful this morning.

Thank you.

So do you, Lance. You are so much like
your Italian cousin.

Full of spirit.

Shouldn't you be going to work?

That is, if the spirit moves you.

Yes. After I escort my beautiful aunt to
her seat.

Oh, I'm sorry. I have other plans.

You told me that all the paperwork will
not be ready for a couple of days, so I

thought I'd use the time.

Good morning,

Francesca. How are you?

Why, hello.

What a pleasant surprise, eh?

What's pleasant about it?

Playing tour guide, huh?

With this lovely lady, I'll try anything
once.

A presto.

Please.

Looks like Francesca's making herself
right at home.

Keep the apple a little straighter, huh?

How's this?

It's perfect.

Come in, Spirits.

Excellent rendering.

Any news?

Francesca Ciberti has set the valley on
its ear.

Angela Channing and her attorney are
scheming to acquire her land.

I'm sure that Channing would have made
one hell of a cartel leader.

I have a few ideas on how I might
cultivate a friendship with Francesca

myself.

I might be able to persuade her to sell
to me.

Keep me apprised of any further
developments.

I will.

We're just as surprised as you are at
Francesca's appearance.

I'm not in the habit of sharing my land
with just anybody.

You're mighty calm about this for a
woman who stands to lose so much. I have

suffered a great deal this year, as you
well know.

Finding a sister is a gain, not a loss.
I'll have my attorney check this out.

California law does state that a signed
code still supersedes all previous

wills. You'll see that it is dated, and
I can assure you it is Jasper's

handwriting. I don't know what you
expect to find. Forging a will is not

my fortes.

I never said it was your forte.

I'll be in touch.

Oh, and by the way, when you see your
attorney, you might remind him that he

owes me a reply to the personal
negligence suit that we filed against

The court date is fast approaching.

Don't worry.

You'll get an answer very soon.

Yes?

Send her right in.

Yes, sir.

Hi.

You know, I've been trying to find a way
to get in touch with you for days now,

and here you go. You show up right on my
doorstep. That's right. Because this

showed up on mine.

Oh. I get pretty tired of seeing you
libel my stepfather.

Look, Lorraine, we just print the truth
here at my newspaper.

Besides, this is between Richard and me.

It's got nothing to do with you. Yes, it
does.

Why? I stick up for people I care about.

How much do you know about your
stepfather?

I know he's a man who's made his share
of mistakes, and I also know how much he

regrets them.

Well,

uh, look.

Why don't we pick a nice long stroll in
the wharf? We'll talk about this, okay?

Are you going to retract that story?

My conscience wouldn't let me.

Then my conscience just won't let me
take that role.

The horses are on the track now for the
fourth race.

Glad to see everybody's enjoying
themselves.

Oh, you should never disturb lovers
while they're kissing.

It is bad luck. Oh, not a good thing to
have at a racetrack.

We didn't get a chance to talk the other
day at the party, but I'd like to

welcome you into our family.

How kind.

I hope I will get all of you straight
someday.

Is this your first time at a racetrack?

In America, yes.

There is so much to comprehend.

Your betting procedure, all the
different odds.

Well, if I were you, I wouldn't gamble
with Richard.

I'd like to go for the big hill.

So do I.

It's almost post -time. We'd better get
to our seats.

Bye.

Bye.

Interesting, too, son.

I wonder if he'll fall in love with her.

If she really is the co -owner of Falcon
Crest, he will.

Hey,

Terry girl.

You better be careful.

The way you drive.

I'm not the one who has to be careful.
You could have killed me. I could have,

but I didn't.

Want to take a ride in my new car?

What's the check of money you cashed to
buy that?

None of them. I made a score. I sold it.
A huge profit.

Well, that should tide you over for a
week or so. Come on, let's cruise.

Hey, Terry girl, don't be like that.

Remember how much fun we used to have
cruising through Florida up and down the

coast? That was a long time ago, before
you fell in love with cocaine.

But I've always been in love with you.

I mean it.

I want us to be together again.

It's not going to happen, Joel. Forget
it. I don't think you have much of a

choice, since we're still married.

Drive carefully.

There are a lot of nuts in the road.

You don't understand.

To get the best odds, you should bet
three different horses for win, place,

show. But that's not showing much faith
in your favorite horse.

I like number three horse.

I want him to win, place, and show.

Francesca, the number three horse is a
50 to one shot.

You do like to go for the big kill,
don't you?

I do what my heart tells me. Must have a
big heart. You heard the lady. Number

four. Number three.

Across the board. Oh.

So, this is your own

race track, huh? Yes, all of it.

Should I be very impressed?

If you want to be.

It does have its advantages.

Like privacy.

Oh, really?

Pamela.

Francesca, you remember Pamela Lynch?

Oh, of course.

Nice to see you again.

Likewise.

Did you finish those Henderson
contracts?

I needed a break. I thought you might
like a little company.

Excuse us a moment.

Going to need those contracts in the
morning.

We'd better get back there and get to
work on that.

That's it?

No explanation why your lunch was
unclear through the afternoon?

No.

Fine.

Sorry about the interruption.

I

think your

friend is not very happy to see us
together.

Pamela? She's all right.

She's my assistant.

She works for me.

And that's all.

Would it make a difference?

I've been without a husband for ten
years, Richard.

I know about life.

I know you do.

That's what attracted me to you in the
first place.

Nothing more?

Of course.

You're beauty for one thing.

And the fact that I will own a large
part of Falcon Crest for another.

I'm going to have to keep a sharp eye on
you.

Look, they're coming down the stretch.

Come on, number three.

What did I tell you? Number three.

Francesca, I think you are going to be
very lucky.

Luck is only knowing when to take the
risks.

We're a lot alike, you and I.

I know.

I knew from the moment we met.

Have you heard anything more about Jean
-Louis de Berthet?

Yes, as a matter of fact.

Although I don't have all my reports
back, he does check out.

Apparently, he is a very well -respected
vintner in his home region of the Loire

Valley. But finding the cost of land so
prohibitive in France, he's decided to

settle here to ply his trade.

He seems charming enough.

He certainly knows how to throw a good
party.

Oh, I have here...

The completed contracts for Francesca's
share of Falcon Crest.

Our prices are marked here on the back
page.

All we need now is her signature.

Well, I would like to put my relatives
back on their feet, but I don't want to

overindulge them. Just drop a zero.

Have you filed the papers for the
probate court?

Yes, but there's a large backlog of
cases, so it may be a while before we

have Jasper's will reopened.

Maybe not.

I have a few friends in the court
system.

Yes, I've noticed.

And they're getting richer by the week.

Lance, hold me.

Come here, baby.

Can I do something warm?

No.

Why do you ask?

You seem so distant.

Sleep. Let off your leg.

Sleep.

You get some sleep.

I'm going to take a bath.

Sure.

Channing, resident.

Lorraine Prescott. I speak to Ernest
Lance.

Hold on, sir.

It's Mr. Compton again. Would you care
to speak to him?

Tell him that until he agrees to retract
that story...

Senator?

Gentlemen, I have a vote on the floor in
15 minutes. Talk fast.

Oh, this won't take very long. I just
wanted to drop off these materials.

What are these?

Well, the list of phone calls from
Angela Channing to this office is self

-explanatory, I think.

Quite a coincidence, isn't it? I mean,
that... All the calls were made around

the same time the FAA report came out
condemning my client?

I don't know what FAA report you're
talking about.

And I hardly even know Mrs. Channing.

Oh, now she'd be so disappointed to hear
you say that, Bunny.

There's a copy of a canceled check from
Angela for $125 ,000.

The same amount Buzz Whitehead inherited
from a rich aunt on the very same day.

Now, you may not remember that name
either, Senator, so let me refresh your

memory. Buzz Whitehead is the airplane
mechanic whose testimony damaged my

client the most.

Well, you've gone to an awful lot of
trouble for nothing.

I still don't know what you're talking
about.

Isn't that funny? That's not what Alan
Caldwell at the FAA says.

He told us you twisted a lot of arms to
get me condemned.

Well, it sounds to me like Caldwell is
trying to cover his tracks again.

I've tried to get the FAA to replace him
for years.

Senator, if anyone's trying to cover
their tracks, it's you.

As a matter of fact, we've seen your
list of political contributors. It's

amazing. You got a nice -sized check
from Angela, too.

Well, I admire your fine collection of
circumstantial evidence, gentlemen.

But this is all news to me.

Well, I think Congressman Wassman will
be an even bigger admirer. He is your

opponent in the upcoming election, isn't
he?

You are not going to get away with
threatening a United States senator.

Oh, it's no threat. We have an
appointment with the congressman this

at 3 o 'clock.

Unless you're willing to discuss this
with us right now.

Sit down, gentlemen.

Aren't these beautiful?

They came for Francesca.

Mother,

that is none of your business.

She's my sister, and I have an
obligation to protect her as long as

my roof.

Especially from Richard Channing.

Buongiorno. Oh, good morning.

Good morning. We thought you'd been
bundled off by a gypsy caravan. Oh, I'm

sorry I missed the dinner last night.
But we were having so much fun at the

track. Win anything?

Oh, Richard said I cleaned up.

Well, these are for you, Francesca.

That's very thoughtful.

Yes, he can be most charming when he has
an ulterior motive.

But I don't think he's the type of man
that you should be seen with.

He's my friend.

He's a womanizer, and he's not to be
trusted.

Angela, no man is to be trusted at
first.

But I'm nobody's fool.

And I'm old enough to choose my own
friends.

Now, don't we have some business to
discuss?

Not yet.

Reardon is still working on the papers.

I hope it won't take too long. I want
everything to be completed as soon as

possible. And so do I.

Charlie will be so upset if we let his
breakfast get cold.

Tell Charlie I'm sorry.

I'm going for a walk.

What have you got there? Nothing.

People don't usually hide nothing.

It's a surprise.

I wanted to save you a bundle at the
market and show you what a good

can be.

You're already the best there is,
sweetheart.

I'm just gonna work a half a shift. I'll
be home early.

Signorina, good morning.

Good morning.

I've been wanting a chance to talk with
you.

You know, I think you and I have a lot
in common.

I do admire your persistence, Monsieur
de Bercy, but you could use a more

approach.

No, no, you misperceive me. I'm talking
about land.

I sense in you a passion for the land, a
passion I share.

No doubt you are quite a passionate man.

But it is easy to be passionate, I
suppose, when your land is as great as

Crest. You're right.

My grandmother used to say, a man who
has no pride in his land is not a man.

As you may know, my hobby is sculpting.

I would be quite honored if you would
allow me to capture your beauty.

Monsieur de Berski.

Are you trying to seduce me?

Of course.

But I'd like you to pose for me first.

I will think about it.

So what do you think Silverlight's going
to do? I don't know. We talked for a

long time. But no politicians.

I couldn't pin him down.

I wish we could publicize what we know.

It'd be nice to give Angela a dose of
her own medicine.

Yeah, well, we'll give the senator a
couple of days and see what happens.

I'll get it. Thank you.

Yes? Is Mrs. Giaberti in?

Oh, yes.

Thank you. I know there's a kind of
sudden, but I couldn't give you this

over the phone.

You found something.

I sure did, Mrs. Giaberti.

I know who your real father is.

Your father's name was Oliver Donovan.

His PT boat was hit by a kamikaze pilot
in the battle to retake the Philippines.

His body was never recovered.

There's no doubt that he was my real
father.

No.

Your birth certificate was amended and
changed.

After you were adopted, that's when the
name Hartford was added.

By going back to the hospital where you
were born, I found the original

certificate with Oliver Donovan as your
father.

How is the mother listed?

Jane Smith.

That's fictitious. Probably used to
protect her reputation.

What about Donovan's parents, relatives,
neighbors?

Well, I always check with the parents
first, but in this case, they're both

deceased.

I'm doing everything possible to find
some clue, somebody who remembers.

This is all the information I've
collected on your father.

Thank you.

Mrs. Giberti, I know it's no
consolation, but Oliver Donovan...

Your father died a hero.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

I'll show you out.

Thank you very much.

I think I look a little like him.

I think so, too.

Finally found him.

It's only to lose him all over again.

It's been a long time since we've had
one of our

intimate rendezvous.

I miss them.

I'm here to tell you that

I can't see you anymore.

I see.

You're dissolving our partnership.

No.

I want to keep my interest in the
racehorse and we can still be friends.

But I love Cole.

And I won't do anything to jeopardize
that relationship.

That's a very noble attitude.

We'll see how long it lasts.

Thank you for your vote of confidence,
Mr. Reardon.

Melissa, when I was a boy and I was told
there was something I couldn't have, I

doubled my efforts to get it.

never failed.

Well, there's always a first time.

The result appears now on the infield
totalizator boards. Number two, Prince

Brian was first. Number five, Rory and
Ronnie second. Number three, Emily G

was the first.

Hello? Chase, Herb Boutillier in
Washington.

Yes? I'm sorry to disturb your sleep,
but I want you to be the first to get

news.

It's Herb Boutillier.

Go ahead.

Well, I just got a call from Ellen
Caldwell a couple of minutes ago.

The FAA is issuing a new report this
morning, completely absolving you of all

blame in the crash of Windstream 4 Tango
Delta.

I don't know what to say, but thanks.

Don't thank me.

We made one heck of a team.

Look, do me one favor, will you, Chase?

Get those wings back on again and fly.

Come on.

What?

It's over.

I've got to go into San Francisco
tonight.

I've got to meet some people from the
State Racing Commission.

Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could
have made a reservation at a cozy little

hotel on Melbourne.

That won't be necessary.

I won't be gone long, probably not even
through the night.

I think you better stay here and mind
the store.

Oh, my.

Oh.

How are you? Miss Prescott, this package
just arrived for you.

Thank you.

Come on.

Oh, wow.

Lance comes in.

I think he's trying to apologize to me
for what he wrote about you in the New

Globe. How does he know how you feel
about that?

I went over to his office and I demanded
that he apologize for the story.

I see.

Now, you listen to me, young lady.

I will deal with Junior in my own way.

And in my own time, I don't need you to
run interference for me.

You said you're going to let me live my
own life, right?

That means I get to choose my own fight.

Zach, you're going to have to do a lot
better than a bunch of balloons.

I want you to watch her night and day.

Lorraine can take care of herself.

You're not going to do it?

I didn't say that.

If you trust somebody, then such tactics
aren't necessary.

And if you don't trust them, then what's
the point?

Now, this deserves a celebration.

Why don't we have dinner together
tonight at Cyrano's?

Your treat? Of course it's my treat.

I'm sorry, but I have other plans.

I have always wanted to see San
Francisco.

I'm having dinner there. Are you going
on a tour?

I wanted to ask you to come after you
are always such a busy woman.

Enjoy the city.

I'm sure I will.

Ciao.

What happened to the Mother Hen
approach?

Aren't you worried about her?

Now that she's signed over her third at
Falcon Crest, she can take Richard back

to Italy with her, and I hope she does.

Ciao, Lee.

Would you open a bottle of Gioberti
champagne for Mr. Reardon and myself?

Yes, Mrs. Channing.

That is a switch.

The last I heard, the Gioberti champagne
was going to be used to scrub down the

bathroom. When this agreement is
approved in court, the Gioberti

be a collector's item.

Now, that is something to celebrate.

Hi, Melissa. How are you?

Hi, Maggie.

Uh, Cole's not here. Probably at the
winery.

I know.

I didn't come over to see Cole.

Do you mind if I come in?

Sure. Sure, come in.

Thank you.

Oh, some research.

I've been doing some research here.

Sit down.

Carl, tell me about your father.

Well, this family isn't very much at
keeping secrets.

There's something else bothering you,
isn't there?

Frankly, Melissa, I'm worried about my
son.

Every time he's become involved with
you, he's been hurt.

You married Lance almost out of spite.

You've treated Linda very badly.

You bartered away your own son.

You don't have to go through the entire
list.

I know that in the past, I haven't
always acted with great responsibility.

But I'm going to work very hard to win
you and Chase over.

You don't have to win us over, Melissa.

Just treat Cole with the love and the
respect that he deserves.

I know I can do that.

You're dangerous, you are.

I think you are dangerous, too. Me? No.

What makes you say that?

Your eyes.

My eyes.

They say you want love.

But you are afraid of love.

Your mother must have been a gypsy.

Not really.

She was just a woman who loved unwisely.

As I have myself.

Many things. Many times.

I don't see any scars.

You seem very open.

You're not afraid?

Why should I be?

Life is meant to be lived like good
wine.

You never leave any in the glass.

I agree.

And tonight, we shall empty the glasses.

To you, Richard?

No, no, no.

To us.

I don't think I have ever met anyone
quite like you.

And I must say...

Where have you been?

I took a trip to the ocean.

I was going through some of my dad's
things, and he loved the seas so much, I

thought maybe it would be a good idea if
I went and spent a little time there.

Sounds terrific. Oh, it was. It was.

Got to say goodbye and hello.

I have been itching to take a trip
myself. Why don't you come along?

Sure, where to?

Someplace we haven't been for some time.

What a nice way to wake up.

Why didn't you wake me earlier?

We went to sleep so late.

Amore. Oh, so early.

It is already past noon.

Oh.

Oh.

That means we missed the checkout time.

Oh, well.

That means we'll have to spend another
night.

You planned this all along, eh?

Any objections?

Angela warned me about you. Do you know
that?

I think it's time somebody warned you
about Anne.

Oh, not today. I'm too happy.

I'm still rather thrilled to know that I
have a sister.

What about Angela?

Is she thrilled?

Oh, she is hardly of the shock.

I'll bet.

You did drop in rather unexpectedly.

It was a shock to me, too, to find out
that I, what can I say, be

legitimate.

that I was not who I thought I was.

I grow up believing that my father was a
soldier, killed in a war, a hero.

I cannot help feeling that Jasper
Giubetti cheated me out of a part of my

I know how you feel.

I also was born, how you say,
illegitimate.

I'm sorry to hear that.

It's all right.

But you have a family, don't you,
Bertie? I have a collection of relatives

they can hardly be compared to the
family you have in Italy.

But what is family but love?

What is love but working together,
helping each other and caring?

I have never seen the love you talk
about.

Look a little closer to you.

What? The boss is going to make me
assistant manager of the station.

Oh, that's wonderful.

More than wonderful. It means I get
another dollar and a half an hour plus

vacation. But I'm going to have to work
late tonight, so I'll see you later.

Well, wait a minute.

You were supposed to take me out
tonight.

The steakhouse and a movie, remember?

The boss asked me to work late. I
couldn't very well say no.

Well, what about me?

If I stay in that tin box one more
night, I'm going to go crazy.

I'll make it up to you later, I promise.

Fine.

I'll be back before midnight.

Yeah, great.

That's just great.

I've been worried sick about you. Where
are you?

Never mind that. Listen to me.

It's starting again. The voices.

Julia, you've got to come home. Mother
will get you the help you need.

Mother? She's the voice I hear.

She's behind it again.

That's not true.

If she knew you were alive, she'd only
want you to get better.

Julia, please, you've got to come home.

I can't come back to Falcon Crest. If I
do, I'll kill again. I know it.

No, you will not kill again.

Tell me where you are and I'll come and
get you. You've got to let us help you.

Who are you talking to, Emma?

Nobody.

You were talking to someone.

I told you, nobody.

Nobody you know.

with Julia Comfort in her life.

Emma Channing is not exactly a reliable
source.

She is widely regarded as somewhat of a
kook.

It's too bad we didn't put a tap on the
Channing phone. I would like to have

traced that call.

If there was anything to trace.

It could be just a sad delusion of a
very sick woman.

No, it isn't.

She's alive.

Find her. Bring her to me.

I'm on another report before we make an
offer. Yes, ma 'am.

What is that?

Sounds like an airplane.

Is the crop dusting scheduled for today?

Not that I know of.

Hi, there.

Craig!

Come quick.

What's all the commotion?

It's a surprise.

Hurry.

Oh, come on!

Isn't it great? The case is flying
again.

I tell you, it's going to be great for
the morning edition.

The local vintner goes crazy.

You ready for the coup de grace?

Hey, I've been looking forward to this
for a long time.

Hello, Tuscany Tower. This is November
62763.

Could you patch me into Angela Channing
at Falcon Crest, please?

That's the thing he's up to.

He's up to his neck in hot water, that's
what.

I'm going to call the FAA.

There's a phone call for you, Mrs.
Channing. Well, take a message, Shelley.

want that line open. You may be
interested to know that the caller is

Gervetti.

Chase?

You have done some stupid things in the
past, but nothing criminal.

Now, you're breaking more laws than you
can count.

Oh, no, no, no. I just got a call from
my lawyer in Washington this morning.

Seems the FAA issued a new report.

My name has been completely cleared.

How'd you swing that?

Oh, I didn't swing anything.

Senator Silverlake did all the swinging.

Now, listen, Chase.

A lot of witnesses saw that
condensation. You're not going to get by

Well, I'll tell you what. When Buzz
Whitehead runs out of his inheritance

comes back to the States, we'll get this
whole thing cleared up once and for

all.

is that Bundy Silverlake's war chest is
going to be much poorer when I cancel my

check.

Then Chase really did get his pilot's
license back.

Yay, Chase!

There's nothing to cheer about.

I think it's wonderful.

Chase is back where he belongs.

What are you looking so happy about?

Because I'm going to work.

I've got a hell of a story to report.

I think I'll withdraw the personal
negligence suit against Chase right

I warned you not to interfere with the
FAA. We'll be lucky to get away with

without him putting the suit on us.

Oh, let him have his little victory.

I have the trump card.

When I get Francesca's third, Chase will
be exactly where he should be.

Out of the house.
