How dare you at a time like this defile
her father's grave?

So we need your help. My baby's dying!

I can't think of anything but that right
now. Just leave us alone!

Unless we can find him within 24 hours,
there's going to be a warrant issued for

his arrest.

At least I'll be free. If you go now,
you'll never be free again. We've been

trying antibiotics, but he's just not
responding.

Well, maybe God forgives that my baby
dies.

I'll make you pay for this the rest of
your life.

Nurse. I'd like to see Dr. Howell. I've
already paged him. He'll be with you as

soon as he can. Well, page him again.

I'll see what I can do.

Dr. Howell?

Is he coming?

He better be.

Why is this happening to my baby?

The nurse said you wanted to see me.

I want to find out what chances my great
-grandson has.

Well, I'd be lying if I said they were
good.

Give me a number, Doctor.

Barring further complications, about
20%.

I'm

highly recommended, Mr. Cumson.

Yeah, well, I've spent the last 15 years
on offshore oil rigs.

Last five as general manager of Optico's
Alaskan Fields.

Must work a hardship on your marriage.

My wife and I are separated.

Haven't seen her in some time.

I didn't come here to ask you for a job.
You asked me, remember?

I need a good man to take charge of a
five -well operation. I'm joined

in the Gulf, south of Port Arthur.

This is the geologist's report.

Why don't you take a look at it and let
me know what you think?

Hold it a second. What kind of money are
we talking about?

Oh... How about $100 ,000 a year plus
expenses?

By the way, congratulations.

For what?

Well, if you don't know it, you're a
grandfather now.

Last time I saw my son, he wasn't even
married.

He is now, and you have a grandson.

He was born a few days ago.

He's still at the Tuscany Valley
Hospital.

How soon can I have your answer?

Can I call you back on that?

Sure can.

The sooner the better.

Honey!

Honey!

You're home early.

I got a call from Steve Barton. He's
trying to set a... Pre -trial conference

with the district attorney before next
week. He'd like to meet with us this

afternoon. Oh, okay.

It's cold here.

He went into town to pick up that sulfur
you wanted.

I mailed a script.

Thanks. I almost called you about five
times to tell you not to.

Are you getting cold feet already?

No, it's just that every time I think
about it, I think of something I'd like

change. It's good.

Honey, you have to say that. You're my
husband.

You're questioning my taste.

No, I just...

Darrell Clayton is a producer.

That's a little intimidating.

What are you doing here?

I didn't know you were married.

It's not something I wanted to
advertise.

Who's the girl?

Melissa Grady.

That's great.

Now a baby boy.

Who's barely hanging on.

I heard you were having some problems.

If he's your son, he's tough. He'll make
it.

He's not my boy.

What?

That girl was pregnant before we got
married and not by me.

Of course, why should you believe me?
Nobody else around here does.

That's not your baby in there.

Angela couldn't buy the Agretti
vineyard, so she had me marry him.

And that baby in there cements the deal.

This is my day for surprises.

You mean you believe me?

Of course I believe you.

I lived under Angela's roof, too, you
know.

Well, if you see my mother, I'd wish
you'd convince her. I had nothing to do

with that little guy.

How is your mother?

The same.

And Angela?

Nothing has changed, has it?

We're all still at Falcon Crest.

and grandmother rules the roost.

I see.

Well, maybe I can help you convince your
mother of the truth.

Okay?

Thanks.

That means we still go to trial next
week. Well, that's not as bad as it may

seem. Gives us an ideal basis for
appeal.

Appeal? That presumes Cole's going to be
convicted.

Now, please, understand something here.

I never go into a courtroom without
being fully prepared.

And being prepared means expecting the
worst.

Now, Cole is in a very difficult
position here.

He was found with the body of Carlo
Agretti. His fingerprints are on the

weapon. And he was seen having an
argument with Agretti shortly before his

death. Now, that is a preponderance of
evidence against him.

Let's not forget he didn't do it.

Well, right now what's important is what
the jury thinks.

What do you suggest we do?

We find new evidence.

I've already told you about 500 times
everything I can think of.

That's not what I mean.

The only one who can help us now is
Carlo Agretti.

Isn't it a little late for that?

There's a forensic specialist in San
Francisco named Ray LeClaire.

I'd like to retain him to perform a
second autopsy.

Exhumation requires a court order.

Yes, and we don't have the time. There
is one other way.

We get permission from the family to
exhume the body.

Now, I've been calling his daughter all
week, and she hasn't returned any of my

calls. Melissa must still be in the
hospital.

She's with the baby.

Oh, there must be some other way.

I wish there were.

We don't have any choice.

You can ask Melissa.

I can't.

Not now.

I'll give it a try.

I ran into my father at the hospital
today.

I thought your father was in Alaska.

Yeah, so did I.

But he's here in San Francisco now.

And somehow he found out about the baby.

Is he putting pressure on you now, too?

No, he understood.

It's funny, I explained to him about my
marriage to Melissa and what a complete

sham it is, and he understood. He
believed me.

I thought you and your father didn't get
along.

I guess I just never gave him the
chance.

You think he can help us?

Yeah, I think he's going to try to talk
to my mother.

That's funny. Wonderful.

But don't get your hopes up.

I've just never known my father to come
through when I count it.

Well, at least it shows that he believes
in you.

Listen.

Chase, he doesn't have to come.

How's he doing?

We're going to have him baptized
tomorrow.

He's going to be fine.

He's going to have to be.

Here you are, Melissa.

Oh, Chase.

It's good of you to come by.

We're all pulling for him, Angela.

Well, he's stronger than the doctors
think. He's going to make it.

Melissa.

This is a difficult time for you, I
know.

And I wish there was some other way.

But I need a favor that only you can
grant.

What is it?

As you know, Cole's trial begins next
week.

The only chance we have to prove his
clear -cut innocence is with some new

evidence.

What does that have to do with me?

We need your permission for a second
autopsy to be performed

on your father's body.

How dare you at a time like this defile
her father's grave?

Angela, that's not my intention.

I think it's outrageous that you would
intrude.

So we need your help.

Please, I need to lie down.

Nurse?

My baby's dying right now.

That's all I can think about.

What are you doing here? I came to speak
with Julia.

Well, she's, um, in Europe.

I talked to Lance at the hospital
yesterday. He never mentioned Europe.

Well, why would he tell you anything?

Because despite you, he's still my son.

It's because of me that he's anything at
all.

Does that include being stuck in a
marriage you arranged with a child that

his?

Well, you have been talking to him. Yes,
and I believe him.

Well, what you believe is no concern to
me.

I wonder if Julia will feel the same.

Tony, if you don't leave this property
immediately, I'll have you arrested.

Now.

As always, Angela.

It's been a pleasure.

see him even near this property, call
the sheriff. Yes, ma 'am.

Yeah, who is it?

It's your darling sister.

Hold on a second. I'll be right there.

Past ten, you really slept in this
morning. Yeah, Dad was right. A little

really helped put things in perspective.

Mom wants to know if you're coming down
to breakfast.

Sure.

Tell her I'll be right there.

I gave this geologist's report a quick
scan last night.

This escarpment on the ocean floor might
be a problem.

But otherwise, it looks promising.

So you're interested?

Depending on the specifics, like what
I'd be working under.

You'd report directly to me?

But I'd have to make my own decisions.

That's why I'm hiring you.

Fragile.

What assurance do I have that I wouldn't
be fired the minute we had a

disagreement?

How does a two -year guarantee strike
you?

Well, I'd need a month to give my notice
and settle my affairs.

Sounds reasonable to me.

I'll have my attorneys draw up a
contract.

How soon will you be leaving town?

Tomorrow afternoon. I have some personal
business to settle first.

Are you at all interested in seeing your
wife?

Oh, I know how difficult Angela Channing
can be to deal with, and I just thought

if you were interested in seeing her, I
could arrange something.

Why would you want to do that?

I, uh, understand the, uh... what a
broken home can do to a family.

I guess I'm just a sentimentalist at
heart.

Okay.

Miss Hunter, uh... Will you arrange a
meeting for Julia and Tony Compson?

Certainly. I'll give Mr. Compson a call.
Thank you.

He should give you a call.

Thank you. You're very kind.

When you work for me, I work for you.

We'll be in touch.

Why are you so interested in playing
Cupid all of a sudden?

Julia's my half -sister. She deserves a
little happiness.

And a little independence from her
mother, I suppose.

You're learning.

I want you to meet personally with her.

Don't forget our meeting at the Trade
Center.

I'll need time to change.

Change first.

I don't want you to miss her.

Joseph, I baptize you in the name of the
Father.

and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Thank

you

for coming, Father.

I'm always available in your time of
need.

This is very trying, I know.

But... Sometimes, sometimes we're tested
in strange ways.

But why test my baby?

God will be with you, Melissa, and with
your baby.

Trust him.

Thank you, Father, I will.

I'll drive you back to St. Martin's,
Father. Fine.

I've got some work to do back at the
house. I'll see you later.

I'm so, so very sorry.

Oh, really?

Well, maybe God forgives.

But if my baby dies, I'll make you pay
for this the rest of your life.

Hi.

Hello, Diana.

They said I'd find you here.

Why? Is something wrong?

No, Mr. Channing sent me over.

He thought you ought to know your
husband's in town.

Tony?

He is?

Why didn't he come himself?

Well, I think he tried to, but your
mother cut him off.

Where is he staying?

Oh, um, if you hurry, you can meet him
here.

What part does Richard play in all of
this?

Mr. Channing wanted you to know that it
was only a down payment and that you'd

understand.

I see.

He also wanted you to know there's no
obligation.

Tell Richard that I appreciate his
concern.

And thank you.

I hate to interrupt this. What's the
matter?

Cole's gone.

Gone? Where?

I don't know, but he's taken half his
clothes with him.

Hi, Julia.

Hello, Tony.

Well, here we are.

I thought you'd never come back.

Come on, let's walk.

I talked to Lance and he told me.

I know exactly what Lance told you.

He's been saying all along that he's not
the father of Melissa's child.

Why don't you believe him?

Because he's in love with a girl here in
San Francisco.

He'd say anything, anything at all to
get out of that marriage. What if the

child isn't his? It doesn't make any
difference. It makes all the difference

the world.

Look, that child links the Agretti
Vineyard with Falcon Crest.

My mother's not going to let anything
change that.

Oh. I see.

It's really a marriage of convenience,
isn't it? Angela Channing's convenience.

He knew what he was getting into. I
doubt that. He grew up without ever

that actions have consequences. He grew
up without a father. I tried.

We both tried.

But we failed, and now he's paying for
our failure.

I can't accept it anymore. He's a man
now. He can't blame us anymore. The

choices are his.

What about us, Tony?

What choices do we have?

Well, that's up to you.

That's up to us.

Stay with me tonight.

What about tomorrow?

That's a choice you'll have to make.

Yes?

Catherine, I'm looking for Cole. I
thought he might be here.

The last time I saw your son, he was
going to be living at home.

We thought he might have changed his
mind.

He's been doing a lot of that lately.

He hasn't called, has he?

No, and he's not hiding under my bed
either.

Catherine, I don't know what happened
between the two of you.

And I can understand you're assenting
his decision to move back home.

But unless we can find him within 24
hours, there's going to be a warrant

for his arrest.

Is there anything I can do?

Just call me if you hear anything, will
you?

I'll do that.

I need your help.

If you run away, you'll confirm
everyone's suspicion.

I'll be sure you did it.

They already are.

Your father said something about a
warrant for your arrest. What's that all

about? Where I'm going, they'll never
find me.

If you've made up your mind, how come
you're still here?

I'm catching a freighter out tomorrow
afternoon.

I just need a place for tonight.

Why here?

Because I thought we were friends.

This is the... First place they're going
to look for you, Cole.

Catherine.

Okay.

You can sleep on the couch, but just be
gone when I wake up.

Understand?

I will.

Catherine?

Thank you.

Hello? Hi, it's me.

Hi, what'd they say at the bank?

Well, uh, his savings are intact. He
hasn't touched the account.

Well, then he can't go very far, can he?

Maybe he's not going that far.

Oh, I wouldn't be so sure. After you
left, I went up to his room to check to

what he'd taken with him.

And?

And he took his passport, so I think
he's planning to leave the country.

But without playing fear, how?

Well, stick by the phone in case he
called.

All right, uh...

Listen, you let me know if anything
happens. You hear anything?

I will.

Was that Dad? Yeah. Listen, honey, would
you stay by the phone in case Cole

calls? What are you going to do?

Something. I just got to try something.

Tony, when I'm with you, I feel so
strong.

I feel like I could do anything.

Come with me this time.

I'd love to.

Then do it.

It's your choice, remember?

No, it's not that simple.

It is that simple.

As long as Melissa's baby is in that
hospital in intensive care... Haven't we

wasted enough time already?

I've got a plane to catch to Anchorage
tomorrow.

I want you there with me.

I want to.

Melissa, have you seen Cole?

A few days ago.

But not in the last 24 hours.

No.

Sometimes when I see him lying there, I
feel all he really needs is for me to

hold him.

Well, you'll always feel that way. I
know I do.

The sad part is that despite everything
you do, one day you and he will grow

apart.

Eventually, I'll feel he hardly needs
you at all.

Get in your heart, it'll always be that.

Sweet, helpless little boy you've always
loved.

Melissa Cole is frightened.

He's so frightened that he's run away.

Because of the trial?

Well, you have to admit it's a pretty
frightening prospect.

I'm afraid when Chase was here, I wasn't
very kind.

He told me you needed my permission to
perform a second autopsy.

I knew Cole didn't kill my father.

Tell your lawyer I'll sign the release.

Oh, thank you.

If you don't mind, I think I'd like to
stay here alone for a while.

It's not the costs that concern me.

It's the time it takes to acquire them.

Good morning, Mother.

Well, you've been with Tony, haven't
you?

Yes.

When are you ever going to learn?

How many times does he have to hurt you?

It isn't Tony that's hurt me, Mother.

It's you.

Why, we get defiant when he's around.

Why is that, Julia?

Maybe he just brings me to my senses.

I'm going to leave with him this time,
Mother.

And you can't stop me.

He's been offered a very good job
running an oil field for Richard

And between that and my shares in the
New Globe, we should have a very nice

egg.

Good morning.

that if she does leave with him, we lose
control of her stock.

She isn't going anywhere with anybody.

And neither is he.

He's going alone.

Who is it?

Package for Mr. Compson.

You'll have to sign for it.

Mr. Tony Compson.

Would you sign here, please?

Yeah.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You forgot to say goodbye.

How'd you find me?

Well, with a passport and no money, I
figured the only way you could get where

you wanted to go would be to work for
your passage.

Sailing to Panama.

I think you're making a mistake.

It's my life. Then don't do something
you regret for the rest of it. At least

I'll be free.

You really believe that? It's the truth.

No, the truth is that if you go now,
you'll never be free again.

Steve Barton's already talking about
grounds for my appeal, and I haven't

been to trial yet.

How much of a chance does that leave me?

The only chance you're ever going to
get.

If you run now, it's going to be seen as
an admission of guilt.

Cole, you're innocent. Now help us prove
that.

Let's go home.

Sally, did you want to see me?

Yes. Philippa showed me something I
think you'd be interested in.

If it's anything about Tony, I don't
even want to look at it.

Then don't. Just listen.

It's a personal services contract.

I, Anthony Cumson...

Do hereby agree to prevail upon my wife,
Julia Channing Compson, to leave Falcon

Crest Winery and divest herself of all
holdings in New Globe Enterprises.

And so forth and so on.

Where did you get that?

And for said services, will receive a
cash payment equal to 10 % of the gross

sale of my wife's stock, payable upon
transfer of title.

Signed, Richard Channing and Anthony
Compson.

We still have a few friends left at the
Globe.

Tony wouldn't do that.

When it comes to Tony Compson, you will
never learn.

Would you recognize your husband's
signature?

Of course.

I had my staff run a credit check on
your husband. He's deeply in debt.

Richard Channing obviously showed him a
way out, and he took it.

I don't know why you'd even listen to
him.

Did you find him?

No. Oh, I was so worried, honey. I'm
sorry.

Well, the important thing is you're
home.

Dad told me about the pre -trial
conference.

We'll have the autopsy results back by
then.

Melissa consented? Yeah, Mom talked to
her.

I don't need a lawyer.

I love you, Mom.

No, I love you too.

Huh?

Grandmother said you talked to Tony.

Ten percent? Where did this come from?

What does it matter?

He signed it, didn't he?

And you're not going to do anything
about it?

As far as Tony's concerned, there's
nothing to do.

Well, don't you bet on it.

Ann?

You've been trying antibiotics, but he's
just not responding.

Well, don't you know anyone? A
specialist that you might consult?

The only man doing work in this
particular field is a Swedish

Carl Edson.

Unfortunately, he's attending a
symposium in Leningrad.

And he's just impossible to contact.

Well, now, you just leave that to me.

I'll declare one over the body of Carlo
Agretti for eight straight hours.

I've got a second opinion.

How does it look?

I was hoping you could tell me.

I do want to read you something, though.

A specific cause of death.

Here we go.

The deceased was killed by a crushing
blow to the right temple of the skull,

resulting in a massive hemorrhaging and
perforation of the cortex of the

victim's cerebrum.

Position and trajectory of the blow
indicates it was delivered with the

hand as the killer stood behind the
victim, no other visible... You said the

killer's right -handed?

Delivered with the right hand as the
killer stood behind the victim.

Will LeClaire testify under oath to
these findings?

Of course he will. Why? Because I'm left
-handed.

You're left -handed?

Yeah.

A crime of passion.

For the moment, it doesn't seem likely
he would reach for a weapon with the non

-dominant hand. I want you to go and get
changed. We're going to go and talk to

the judge.

You running off again?

Lance, I was just leaving. I have to
stop by Richard Channing's office on the

way to the airport.

Where's your mom? Look at this.

All that talk, huh?

Letting the past go.

You haven't changed.

What is this? Some sort of bad joke?

You tell me. You signed it.

That photograph.

I should have known.

What photograph?

Yesterday afternoon, I received a
picture of your mother and me taken

after we were married.

I thought Julia had sent it. Obviously,
I was wrong. What are you talking about?

I had to sign for it. I signed this. I
don't believe you.

I believed you.

What are you going to do?

Well, I'll go see Richard Channing.

Then I'll get as far away from Falcon
Crest as I possibly can.

Don't you care about my mother?

I did.

I still do. But it takes two to make it
work.

Obviously, she believes the worst of me.

Is there anything you want me to tell
her?

Nothing she doesn't know already.

But I'll tell you something.

Falcon Crest is a cancer.

It contaminates everybody it touches.

Get away if you can, before it's too
late.

Please.

Good luck.

You too.

That air.

You could go crazy hanging around in
those halls.

What do you think takes him so long?

I don't know.

You know how lawyers are. They never
know when to shut up.

The trial's scheduled for the day after
tomorrow, and I don't think Cole's ready

for it.

Emotionally, I don't think he's ready.

Honey, I don't think any of us are.

So? He listened to everything we had to
say.

And? Well, the DA was forced to admit
the ultimate prosecutorial sin.

Insufficient evidence.

I dropped all the charges.

You dropped all the charges?

Thank you.

Julia,

Compson called

while you were out.

Any message?

Good enigmatic.

Nice try, but some things are not for
sale.

That means she's not leaving with Tony.

Apparently not. He's in your office.

Mr. Compson, I wasn't aware we had an
appointment.

Miss Hunter, would you have someone
bring me a glass of milk?

Thank you.

Did you care for anything?

Only if it's the truth.

Somebody set me up. I don't know if it
was you or Angela Channing, but nobody

messes with my personal life. Right,
right. Why don't you tell me about it?

got a plane to catch.

Alone. You're not taking Julia? That's
right. Somebody said I sold out. To you.

Well, that sounds like a convenient lie.

Like this geologist report you gave me?

All of this is getting quite tiresome.

Oh, hang in there. I did my homework
last night.

It's a scarpment you described in the
report. It sits right in a fault.

Any competent geologist would have
spotted it immediately.

You never intended drilling there, did
you?

I think you'd better leave.

I don't know what kind of a game you and
Angela are playing, but I don't like

any part of it. False security. Don't
bother. I'm just leaving.

I was never much good at playing games.

Mr. Compson needs a lesson in manners.

Everything in good time.

Yes. Thank you.

It's not our day.

It was Daniels from the newsroom.

Seems all the charges on Cole Giberti
have been dropped.

Next on Falcon Press.

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?
