All language subtitles for Falcon Crest s05e15 Checkmate

Maybe what you really want is to have
Richard for yourself.

After all, it's no secret he's always
had the hots for you.

Is that why you married him?

So we're going to be strong.

And we're going to become a family
again.

Julia.

Oh, it's okay.

Dave,

it's okay.

Have you talked to Robin's parents or
any friends or anybody, any place she

might have gone? I called Uncle Philip
and Aunt Teresa. They said they haven't

seen her in weeks. They promised to let
us know if she calls.

What are you going to do, Floyd?

We've already got out an APB, but the
only thing we can charge her with is

Theft Auto.

Hope is Robin's baby. That's not true.
She's our baby.

We started adoption proceedings last
week with Robin's consent.

We better get Robin back here and
straighten this mess out.

Meantime, I'll talk to them before they
start making up my answers for me.

The baby just got out of the hospital.
She's in no condition to be traveling

knows where.

Robin's very confused right now. Let's
hope she can... She knows exactly what

she's doing.

She'd pull anything to get what she
wants, including threatening the baby's

life. Robin wouldn't use hope.

She's running because she doesn't want
to give the baby up. She took our $50

,000, didn't she?

She'll probably be calling in a minute
demanding a ransom.

Look, you two are exhausted. Why don't
you go upstairs and relax? We'll stay

here and wait.

I couldn't sleep if I wanted to.

It's going to be a long night.

And now this.

Police statewide are searching for a
young Tuscany Valley woman and her child

who have disappeared from the home of
wealthy vendors Cole and Melissa

The Giobertis have posted a $10 ,000
reward for information leading to the

arrest of this woman who is known to be
driving a stolen Jeep Wagoneer.

California license plate 21MW635.

Anyone with information is asked to
contact the Tuscany Valley Sheriff's

Department at 555 -6314.

And now looking at Bay Area weather, low
clouds and some fog with occasional

light rain showers. Hey, lady!

Clouds will break up tomorrow afternoon,
leaving us plenty of sunshine.

Have a low temperature tonight at 49 and
a high tomorrow.

Do I make myself clear?

I need access to my wife's funds and I
want you to explore every avenue.

Well, short of forgery, the only way you
can do that is to get her permission.

I'm an accountant, Mr. Channing. I am
not an embezzler. I'm glad to hear that.

Then talk to her accountants. Why don't
you come up with an investment scenario

that will force us to pool our
resources. Do whatever you have to do. I

control. You intend to bleed your wife
dry, don't you? What I intend to do is

none of your business. It is your
business to keep me posted on your

Whatever you say, Mr. Channing. Good.

What the hell are you up to, Richard?

What have you been doing? Listening
through the keyhole?

Talking about this story.

Well, I've been doing what every other
news outlet in the state is doing.

I thought you'd be pleased.

How dare you drag my family's dirty
laundry into the press?

This so -called article is just full of
lies, half -truths, and innuendo, and

this is me being charitable.

Well, now, Miss Roberts, why don't you
give me the facts?

Tell me exactly what is going on between
you and your father.

I'm not going to vote for him. That's
all you need to know or anyone else.

this story. Why, Jordan?

You don't want your father or Reardon in
the governor's mansion any more than I

do, and this kind of reporting will help
keep them out. I don't give a damn

about their stupid campaign. I'm talking
about my privacy. You don't have any

privacy anymore. Your father's running
for governor. Your news, whether you

it or not. And I am not about to miss a
golden opportunity to attack Angela

Channing's hand -picked candidate for
governor. Richard, I am serious. Pull

story or I quit.

What about a compromise?

I'll make the picture smaller and I'll
rewrite the headline.

But I am not about to pull this story.

No siree.

Terrible news about Robin Negrete. The
thing must be scared to death.

I don't blame her for leaving that
family.

Melissa trades babies like some people
trade baseball cards.

I'd stick that briefcase away if I were
you before Sophia Starvis comes back

looking for it in a less reasonable
frame of mind.

The only reason she wants this briefcase
is to get to Peter's will.

I wish she would come back. There are a
lot of questions I'd like answered.

Yes, like why the one person who's been
cut out of the will is the one person

who wants it so badly.

You know, Greg, there's something
terribly wrong.

I can feel it in my heart.

Terribly wrong.

I've half a mind to break into Falcon
Crest tonight and get that whale myself.

It's too risky, Philippe. We have to get
out of San Francisco before Angela

Channing comes after us. At least we got
your father under lock and key.

The father's never going to change his
will.

He's much too stubborn.

We have to rethink our plan altogether.

Or perhaps not.

Perhaps we can force his hand.

Force?

Philippe.

I mean, persuade, of course.

Well, don't forget, Sophia, that we're
doing this for our child.

Come on, let's go. We don't want to be
late. Then miss our plane. Let's go.

Hey, hey, hey. You can't do the right
place.

We give top dollar for kids.

How about watches?

A dime a dozen.

Come on. Give it here.

Oh.

Nice. Very nice.

Top quality merchandise.

How much will you give me for it?

Depends. How much is your bus ticket?

Never mind. Just give it back.

That's just a joke.

Most everyone who comes in here is going
someplace.

I don't... What baby name?

Diane. Oh, that's a nice name.

Where are you headed?

Someplace. Hey, you forgot your plane
ticket.

Keeps asking for Robin and Hope.

What did you say?

That they went on a trip and that they'd
be back soon.

I shouldn't have given you trouble about
the baby.

Deep in my heart, I really wanted her.

I know.

You're such a good man.

And no matter how hard I try, I can't be
as good as you are.

Are you crazy?

You should have forgotten me the day
that I married Lance.

You would have been a lot happier if you
had.

What brought all this on?

Melissa, I've been in love with you from
the very first day I met you.

I knew there was something special
between us.

I still think there is.

Don't you?

much longer are we going to have to wait
for your surprise? I have plans.

We'll just have to wait. Why did you ask
us here? Come on, Grandmother, why all

the secrecy? There is life beyond Falcon
Crest. Come on, we really have to get

going. Ridiculous. Now,

there's too much strain around here. We
have enough trouble with Chase and

Richard without all this infighting.

In life, the most important thing is the
family.

And without it, we're nothing.

So we're going to be strong.

And we're going to become a family
again.

Well, I've had lots of time to re
-evaluate things up at the convent, and

really beginning to feel good about
myself again.

We're glad for you, Mother. Oh, it's so
wonderful to have us all together again.

And I hope you two are becoming real
brothers.

Oh, it's okay once you get used to them.

I wish I could say the same.

I suppose it's been rather a culture
shock for you here at Falcon Crest.

Oh, there have been some adjustments.

Mom, what started all this?

Well, actually, Mother's responsible.

Oh, no, no, it was Father Bob.

Actually, I had very little to do with
it. It was Julia's exemplary behavior at

the convent that made the sisters agree
to release her into my custody for a few

days. Oh, jolly.

Miss Channing asked me to serve your
favorite Johannesburg Ritalin, Julia, in

1981. Oh, how very nice.

Thank you. You're welcome. Now, to
Julia.

To Julia.

All right, you keep a lookout, Big Red

10 -4.

I do appreciate it. I'll shout at you
later. We gone.

Any news?

Not yet.

Watch your head.

But I've got every trucker in Northern
California looking for her. If Robin's

out there, we'll find her.

I would have come here sooner.

Except my sister Julia came home for a
visit.

Julia? Wasn't she the one that was put
away?

In confinement.

No, I thought you said that they put her
away for good.

Boy, I never said that.

Anyway, mother got her out.

And I want you to meet her. All right.

Come over to dinner tomorrow night.

Oh, Emma.

I'd much rather run off with you to
Elko, Nevada and elope.

Can't do it tomorrow night.

Hold on to that good thought.

I'd like to string this Channing
character up from the Golden Gate

I thought just Channing it in every
newspaper throughout the state.

How much fallout do you think this is
going to cause, Ross? I can't say for

sure. The press love nothing more than a
political family feud.

They'll soak this for everything it's
worth.

Unless we fight back.

Now, I've jotted down some thoughts on
how to contain this, starting with some

well -placed attacks on our opposition.

Good. Let's hear them.

Mud -slinging may just backfire. Why
don't you tackle the problem at its

Why don't you just reconcile with
Jordan? I mean, if there's one thing the

loves more than a political family feud,
it's the family resolving their

differences. I told you Jordan and I
don't get along.

Haven't I explained that?

Oh, come on, J .J. She doesn't strike me
like the kind of woman who would just

act... like this because you wouldn't
let her into your firm after law school.

I didn't tell you the complete truth the
other day, Greg.

Not the entire reason for Jordan's
behavior.

In the middle of her sophomore year in
high school, she had a nervous

Her mother and I never knew why.

She turned on us.

Drugs, alcohol, you name it.

We sent her to a very strict boarding
school. They tried to straighten her

She hated me for even doing that.

She's ill, Greg.

And all the psychiatrists money could
buy didn't help her.

Crazy people don't graduate from law
school and then run successful

She's actually been much better in later
years.

There's something about my campaign made
her regress.

Now you understand why I told you not to
hang around her.

It's for your own good.

I find all this so hard to believe.

My only regret is that I didn't tell you
sooner.

All right, let's go over that list,
Ross. Start at the top. Right.

We discover the Johnson family have two
accounts in Switzerland.

Depends on what you want.

Oh, nothing really.

I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry
about what happened with the baby. I

like that kind of thing.

One of my stringers told me that they
found Cole's truck in the city.

Abandoned. Robin must have just run off.
They found her belongings in it.

Look, if it's all right with you, I'd
like to publish Robin's picture in the

Globe and I'll ante up some of the
reward money.

Well, that's thoughtful. I'm sure Cole
and Melissa would appreciate it.

This is the time for family to stick
together, Chase.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about
family lately.

Now that I'm married to your wife's
sister, we're really family.

Hey, maybe it's time for us to pull our
resources. What do you say?

Pull our resources? I couldn't agree
less with what you're saying, but I am

interested in your...

Reasoning? I think it's pretty good
reasoning.

If we combine our harvest, not only will
we have the prized grapes of the

valley, but we'll also double our
output.

And with both of our wineries going full
steam ahead in no time at all, we'll be

controlling this valley, not Angela.

Richard, I'm not as dumb as I look.
Whenever I've had business dealings with

you, I've ended up with nothing but
regrets.

Forget about the past. Will you do me a
favor? Just think about the future.

The glorious future. Two brothers
married to two sisters.

A united family striving together
against insurmountable odds. Hey, now

sounds pretty good, don't you think?

I pass.

What do you want from me, Chase?

Not a thing.

Every time I hold my hand out to you,
you slap it away.

Well, I'm not going to give up.

No, sir, because you and I, we can make
one hell of a team together.

We can crush Angela, everybody in this
valley. Crush them all. Now, that's what

makes me uncomfortable.

To go into business with a man who can
speak so glibly about crushing people

makes me wonder about when he might turn
on me.

Well, you no longer have to wonder.

If you're not with me, you're against
me.

We may have had the same mother, but I
can never believe we're of the same

blood.

Have it your way.

You cannot believe how much money we
have in our combined corporation.

Of course, most of it's mine.

There are countries with fewer assets
than we have together.

Every vintner in this valley has come by
to try and do business with us.

A month ago, most of these jerks
wouldn't even address me in public.

Jerry.

I asked you about your married life, not
your balance sheet. In this valley, is

there any difference?

Look, I have never been happier in my
life, Maggie. I got almost as much power

and money as Angela Channing, and I got
a good -looking man on my arm to boot.

You know, Terry, I... I know that I... I
mean, I haven't always understood you,

but this has me just completely baffled.

Why can't you?

Be happy with what you have.

And then build a future with somebody
that you could really love.

I tried that, Maggie.

Only Joe flips out and Michael died.

Don't you see that what you're doing is
making a mockery of the very thing that

was special about those relationships?

Look, I have been snubbed, laughed at,
and called a slut by just about every

person in this entire family.

Now I am Richard's...

wife. Maybe not totally respectable, yet
I am on my way.

People around here are going to start
listening to me, Maggie.

Power is the one thing that people
understand, and I have power.

Mary, you are setting yourself up for a
very rude awakening.

You know, I came by here.

To cheer you up, Maggie.

Not to be a beaut.

You must be really jealous of me to
attack me like this.

Try concerned, Terry.

Maybe what you really want is to have
Richard for yourself.

After all, it's no secret he's always
had the hottest for you.

Okay, thanks for lunch.

You too, Ben.

Lance has been showing me all around
Falcon Crest, telling me all about the

improvements and all about Apollonia.

Mother, there's a few things I'd like to
talk to you about later. Maybe we could

get a chance.

Oh, yes, of course. Yeah, look, we've
got some work to do. We'll see you at

dinner. Bye, Mom. Bye -bye.

Where is Emma? I haven't seen her all
morning.

Oh, and she stays out all night with
that trucker. She hardly shows her face

before noon.

That sounds like a serious romance.

It won't last long.

I'll see to that.

Emma says they're very much in love.

Duane is really three classes below her.

Probably some weakness she inherited
from her father.

You know, Julia...

I'm very glad that you're going to talk
to Christopher.

I think he needs a mother's guiding
hand.

Well, it must be something awfully
important for him to take a leave of

from the priesthood.

I was hoping that you could talk some
sense into him.

Because he doesn't belong at
Falconcrest.

He was raised to be a priest.

Well, that's his decision to make, don't
you think, Mother?

He is so confused he doesn't even know
what he wants.

Now, I want you to show him the way.

What you mean is you want me to show him
your way.

Up to your old tricks, eh, Mother?
Bending people to your will?

Julia, this is your chance to become a
fit mother.

Now, will you do something right for
once in your life?

Am I understood?

Yes, Mother.

I'm not, sweetheart.

Okay.

Everything's okay.

Hi.

We're going to Boston.

Boston.

Now you're riding in game three.

Okay, here we go.

Here we go, honey.

Thank you.

I'm fed up with Richard Channing.

Now that he's legalized his bizarre
little romance, he has to announce it.

Perhaps they're just serving a warning
on an unsuspecting world.

Yeah, it's a warning, all right.

Now that he controls Terry's winery,
he's back in business.

And that means trouble.

I wouldn't worry about the manager.

You've got far more clout than Terry and
Richard.

Would you do me a favor and win that
campaign of yours?

I may need a friend in the governor's
office just to keep those two under my

thumb. The thought of being able to keep
them both in their place almost makes

the campaign worthwhile.

What about a month ago? You threatened
to stop working for me if I didn't back

you.

Now you sound as if you're regretting
the whole thing.

Politics has become much dirtier than I
had ever imagined.

Oh, I'm not naive, Angela. But I find it
so hard to believe what...

JJ told me today about Jordan.

Makes sense to me.

Anybody that works for Channing has got
to be imbalanced.

Perhaps.

But I really thought she was a very
together lady.

Oh, Angela, could I really have been so
wrong about her?

Perhaps not.

But you know, Greg, in a situation like
this, I always depend upon my instincts.

Do you suppose...

That JJ could be telling the truth?

I don't know.

I don't know, Christopher. When I was up
at the convent, I felt so confident, so

sure of myself.

And I really thought that coming home
this time, things would be different.

Mother has to spoil everything.

You have no idea how frustrating it is.
Why don't you just tell her to lay off?

I can't do that.

All my life she's had this power over
me. You know, there's nothing wrong with

being angry or fighting back.
Grandmother is never going to let you

you let her know that you've changed.

Why did you leave the church?

And I did the unthinkable.

I broke my vows.

Someone here in the valley?

Mm -hmm.

But the name doesn't matter.

Does the woman?

Oh, you know, I think you and I have a
similar problem.

When I was in the seminary, everything
seemed so clear -cut. It was so easy.

When I left, I was going to...

I was going to cure diseases. I was
going to beat hunger. I was going to

evil.

And then, out here in the real world,
everything got jumped.

I guess I'm pretty confused.

I think you just discovered you're
human.

I wish we'd been together when I was
growing up.

You know, Mom, Charlie has been baking
everything under the sun for you. He has

made every one of your favorites.

Let's just see what we're having for
dessert.

We're having a Cabernet custard and
caramel apple pie.

You know, our existence at the convent
is so modest, it's hard for me to

that people still live like this.

Julia, I want you to try our Sauvignon
Blanc. I really want you to try it.

Had to run a shipment to Reno.

Well, why would you come here uninvited?

I invited him.

Julia, this is Duane Cooley.

Duane, this is my sister Julia.

Glad to meet you.

Delighted. Hey, Duane, why don't you sit
down?

Oh, no, no, wait, wait. We have an
announcement to make first.

Duane and I have set the date. We're
getting married on February 14th.

Over my dead body.

Congratulations. Emma, you and I will
talk about this later alone.

Now, Duane, would you please excuse us?

No, no, no, no.

Mother, you wouldn't stand in the way of
Emma's happiness, would you? I'm only

looking after her best interest.

Well, Emma can look out for her own best
interests.

Charlie, set another place. Won't you
join us, Duane? Have a seat, guys. Emma?

What's gotten into you?

Mother, tell Emma you're happy for her.

I'm thrilled.

Well, what do you think of that? Oh,
God.

Oh, my God, it's unreal.

You know, this is something that I've
dreamed about since you were a little

and then here it is.

And I don't even remember writing it.

Oh, well.

It's a shame it's happening now with all
this other business going on.

Well, I can't think of a better time.

You ready for the... Yes, there is this
phone. Uh -huh.

Well, it fits perfectly.

Congratulations.

Oh, thank you, honey. Thank you, thank
you, thank you, thank you.

I'll get it. I'll get it. I'll get it.
You do that.

Hello?

Maggie, it's Robin.

Robin, where are you?

Is the baby all right?

She's fine.

Listen, I need your help.

There's a diner. There's a diner at the
corner of Eddie and Leavenworth in the

city. Can you meet me there tomorrow
morning?

Honey, I will meet you there tonight.

No, I just got Hope to go to sleep.
We'll be okay.

Um, Maggie, if you bring anyone, I'll
run, and you'll never see Hope again.

We can't take a chance like that. We've
got to call the sheriff.

Chase, she's a scared little girl. She's
not going to do anything to hurt her

own baby. We don't know what she's going
to do. She probably doesn't even know

herself. I will take responsibility for
it, okay? I promised her I would come

alone. Now, if she sees a policeman,
she's going to run.

Hell, I'd run myself.

Look, I may be able to talk some sense
into her. For Cole's sake, it is worth a

try.

You didn't leave us any choice, did you?

Hello, Jordan.

How did you get in here?

People let you in places when you're an
important man.

Oh, do they?

Get out.

You've been a very busy girl lately.

Bad -mouthing me to the press and to
your mother.

I'll call you a cab.

Your mother's threatening to leave me.

She says she's had enough of the lies
and the sickness.

She's not going to wait until after the
election either.

Without her, my campaign is over.

So what am I supposed to do? Am I
supposed to feel sorry for you?

You brought this on yourself.

Well, how long do I have to pay for
something that happened so many years

Do you think I'm proud of what I did?

most beautiful relationship I ever had.

Every day I wake up and realize I lost
my daughter.

It was my own fault.

I never heard you accept any blame for
it before.

I don't care about this election.

I need you.

Be my friend.

Please give me another chance.

All I want is for you to love me as your
father.

You always were.

My special little girl.

You bastard!

Hina, you're taking it wrong. Oh, yes,
just like I took it wrong all those

ago when you sneaked into my bedroom at
2 o 'clock in the morning. Just get out!

Sorry, I don't know what happened.

I had to pick up a few things and found
him in there.

He's not making any sense at all.

Look, give me a couple of minutes, all
right?

Jordan, my little girl.

I wanted so much to make peace with her.

Something went wrong.

Something happened.

And with all my money and power, I can't
do a damn thing about it.

I'm sure it's not your fault.

Of course it's not my fault.

I did my best.

She's the one that's sick.

Yeah. Come on, let me drive you. No, get
away from me.

I'll stay here until I'm damn good and
ready to leave.

You're still a bit confused about the
layout of my house, huh?

Your bedroom's down the hall.

I wanted to see how my new business and
marriage partner was getting along these

days.

I hardly see you anymore.

Oh, well, let's keep it that way.

That way we won't get bored with each
other.

You're already wearing a bit thin.

Close the door on your way out, will
you?

You're not going to get rid of me that
easily, Richard.

All right, then stay.

Just don't make any noise.

I'm a light sleeper.

That's not what I'm talking about.

My accountants are smarter than you
think they are. According to them, your

accountant has been spending a lot of
time lately trying to invest money you

have no business even touching.

You've got a lot of unused assets
floating around, Tara. You might as well

them work for you, just trying to do
what's best for you.

I think what you're really trying to do
is ruin me.

Oh, now, why would I do that? You're my
wife till death do us part.

Just don't underestimate me.

Sweet dreams.

You ready, Mom?

Well, I'm all packed.

This has always been my favorite view.

You can see almost the whole valley from
here.

Julia, maybe you can come and visit
again for my wedding.

It would be wonderful if you could be my
matron of honor.

Oh, I'd like that very much. Thank you.

Have a safe trip.

You'll be in my prayers, Mother.

Hi. Sorry I'm late.

Is she okay?

Yeah, she's fine.

Why don't we sit down over here?

Oh.

Are you hungry? Can I get you something
to eat? No, no, I'm all right.

Thanks. Anyway.

I left my wallet in Cole's truck.

Oh, do you need some money? Yeah.

Is there anything else?

Robin, I could... You were always really
nice to me. I thought you could.

Talk to Cole and Melissa. Get them to
call off this manhunt.

Robin, I know how upset you are.

What I was hoping was that maybe I could
convince you to come home with me.

I carried hope for nine months.

I went through labor with her.

I saw her through an operation where she
almost died.

She's my baby. I understand how you
feel. I really do. But she is Cole's

too, and he loves her just as much as
you do.

What if the baby wasn't his?

What if I was sleeping with somebody
else?

Are you?

I was... Being a boy at college when I
got pregnant.

It's okay.

It's his baby, not Cole.

Yes, sweetheart.

Rejection has never felt so good,
believe me.

I'm really happy for you, Melissa.

I think everything's going to work out.

I know it's a crazy thing to tell you,
especially at a time like this, but...

I wanted you to know.

And I wanted to stand on a good note.

It's funny, I never realized how much I
loved Colin until I found myself losing

him.

Well, I've got some news of my own.

I'm going back to priesthood.

When did you decide that?

Talking with my mother made me realize
how much my vocation means to me.

I like helping people. I think it's what
I was born to do.

I'm sure you're right.

I really did love you, Melissa.

And I'll always be grateful for what
happened between us.

I don't think a person can make a
sacrifice until he knows what he's

I know exactly what you mean.

Well, I think I'd better go.

I think Maggie's back yet.

Thanks for being the best friend I ever
had.

Next on Falcon Crest. You keep on
telling me.

Now she's your wife. You keep her away
from him, even if you have to lock her

a room. Grandmother.
