I'm just trying to find out who killed
Carlo Agretti. You keep snooping around

and we'll have more bad publicity than
we can overcome.

Perhaps if you act more like a wife, he
would act more like a husband. I prefer

to take your example, Angela. You
haven't got what it takes, my dear.

Home is where the heart is.

And home must be here.

With you.

You've got to stop interfering with our
investigation. You don't even have any

other leads.

And until there are, I'll keep digging,
I'll keep probing, and I'll keep

stepping on toes until I get to the
truth.

Thank you.

I don't want to hear another word about
your test results.

You are that child's legal father. But
I... Will you please take on some

responsibilities? Angela, I have good
news for you. And if I hear of you

that little tramp in San Francisco, get
ready to pack your bags. Am I

understood? Yes, ma 'am.

All right, Philip, what is it?

We've tracked Emma down.

You did? Where?

Somewhere in Texas.

She applied for a driver's license in
Austin.

In Austin? Has she been there all the
time? We're not sure.

We should be able to locate her within a
week or so.

Personally, I'm delighted we were able
to narrow it down this quickly.

And you should be more than satisfied
with the way things are going.

Satisfaction is a luxury I can't afford.

Well, look at it this way.

Lance is exactly where you want him.

Happily married to the Agretti
Vineyards.

I'm less than delighted.

And don't forget, we're finally rid of
Jacqueline Perrault.

You're right.

I am delighted.

Now, if I hear anything else on Emma,
I'll call.

Are we having dinner this evening?

I'd love to.

But I've got to get over to the marina
before dark. My bow -winch needs

replacing if I'm going sailing tomorrow.

Sailing?

What a lovely idea.

And everything's going so well here.

What time do you want me to meet you?

I had no idea you cared for the water.

Oh, don't be silly.

I'd love to go sailing with you.

Sheriff, welcome to the sweatshop of
county government.

I keep hearing things, Chase.

You're asking a lot of people a lot of
questions about the Agredi case.

No laws against that, are there? You do
your job, and I'll do mine.

All you've done is persist in making my
son your number one suspect, and the

charge against him was dropped.

That was the DA's decision. I'm not sure
I agreed with it.

Are you telling me you really think my
son killed Carlo Agretti? What I think

doesn't matter at this point. What I
know is you've got to stop interfering

our investigation. You don't even have
any other leads.

Well, it takes time. What do you want,
guarantees? There aren't any.

Precisely. And until there are, I'll
keep digging, I'll keep probing, and

keep stepping on toes until I get to the
truth.

Well, then there is one law that I think
you might like to know about. It's

called obstruction of justice.

Don't... If you think I'm going to stand
around here and just wait for things to

happen, you're crazy.

Now get out, Dan.

Hi, honey.

Well, I guess I'd better be going.

Oh, don't go on my account. I got a lot
of work to do.

You have to go?

Yes, it's baby Joseph's feeding time.

I like to be there.

Otherwise, I never get a chance to see
him when he's awake.

Thank you for the coffee. Yeah.

Bye -bye, sweetie. Bye -bye.

Bye, Jay.

Bye, Julia.

So, how'd it go?

Well, it seems to be getting more and
more difficult for Melissa to talk about

her father and the day he was murdered.

Oh,

a wonderful confrontation with the
sheriff.

Chase.

Darling, why do you insist on getting
involved in something that should no

longer be our concern?

I'm doing this for Cole.

I know, I know. It's just... The charges
were dropped against him almost two

months ago now. And Caproni and Davis
and Stewart.

Half the merchants and wine people in
this valley still think he did it. Not

mention the sheriff. Chase, don't you
see?

You're the one who's keeping this alive
now.

Let it be.

How could she just ignore it?

Those test results proved I wasn't the
father and she just tore them up like

they didn't mean anything.

Well, they don't mean anything to her.

What I don't understand is if you're not
the father of Melissa's baby, then who

is? How should I know?

Melissa went out with Danny Como, Cole
Gioberti, every other guy in this valley

before grandmother forced her on me.

Besides, that's not the point.

All I want is Laurie.

Sounds like love.

It is.

I love her more than all of Falcon
Crest.

If you're really that serious about it,
then why don't you just go?

I've considered it.

You make it sound so easy.

I loved your father like that, too.

I still do.

But I could never get up enough courage
to leave here.

Money and power only go so far.

Happiness.

Sharing a life with someone you love.

That's what I want.

Who are you kidding?

You'll never leave that, won't you?

I'll be so sure.

I'll be in the tasting room.

I know you.

You want it all.

The money, the power, and the love and
the happiness.

You want everything.

Yeah, you're damn right I do.

But people who want everything wind up
with nothing.

Not even the great Angela Channing has
everything.

She chose Falcon Crest over love,
Melissa.

I won't do that.

Sure you will.

I have.

Well, the whole thing sounds like
tilting at windmills. Vicki, don't you

Dad!

If we can figure out who killed the
Gretys, not only will that make things

easier for me around here,

Maybe then I'll have some leverage.

Some legal leverage to get custody of
Joseph.

You'd want to raise Melissa's baby?

That baby happens to be my child, too.

Give anything to get that innocent
little guy away from Falcon Crest.

This is spectacular.

I'm glad you like it.

Living at Falcon Crest is like being in
the backwoods.

Yes, but the city's only for business.

A place like Falcon Crest is for living.

You almost sound homesick.

I just think that the Tuscany Valley
would be a nice place to put down some

roots.

Well, they say home is where the heart
is.

must be here with you.

You're very sweet.

And the evening was lovely.

But I really must be getting back to
Falcon Crest.

To home.

And with all those... Of course, coming
in from Texas, I think the appropriate

place for me to be is right here by the
phone.

Do you think you'll hear from Emma
today?

There's always that possibility.

And you wouldn't want to miss an
important call just because we're out

on the sailboat. I know I wouldn't.

Of course not.

Couldn't you have your calls transferred
here? We could have lunch together.

Well, I thought that as long as I'm
here, I could spend the time cleaning up

some of your paperwork.

Always looking out for my best interest,
right, Philip?

Don't worry, though.

There'll be other good days for sailing.

Well, call me if you hear anything.

You know I will.

Bye. Goodbye.

Oh, it looks like it's going to be a
glorious day.

Mr. Erickson, please.

The offices are closed.

This is the answering service.

It's Saturday.

I know it's Saturday.

Mr. Erickson is in his office, I
believe.

I am sorry, but Mr. Erickson won't be in
until Monday. Is there a message?

No.

No messages.

Well, they've kept up the place well.

Groundskeeper works out of a shed out
back.

How you doing?

No private property, John.

I'm Chase Giabetti, county supervisor.

This is my son, Cole.

Pleased to meet you.

But, uh, I'll have to ask you to leave.

You know, I wasn't aware they had
security guards around here now.

We were hired by the Agredi attorneys to
protect the place from vandals and, uh,

sightseers.

He just came by to talk to the head
groundskeeper.

Old man Fong?

He's been gone for over a week now.

Gone? Yeah, maybe all those questions
the sheriff asked spooked the old guy.

He quit and took most of the gardeners
with him. Quit?

He didn't quit. Somebody scared him off.

Okay, end of discussion.

Now, why don't you two guys put your
tails between your legs?

We're not leaving until we get some
answers.

You are a little hothead, aren't you?

I bet it didn't take much from old
Manigretti to tick you off, Ted.

Officer, about this Mr. Fong, you have
any idea where we could find him? I

understand that you went back to the
city.

All you have to do is look up all the
Fongs in Chinatown.

Thanks for all your help.

It's really been wonderful.

Have you been working on your inner
peace?

It's not that easy around here, believe
me.

A life of ease creates only weakness.

Life with Melissa creates only
aggravation.

Your wife is young. She is stubborn, but
she is strong.

So you must divert her stubbornness with
her own strength, not yours.

I try, Charlie.

I try, but she's always pushing, always
testing.

Then you must give her nothing to push
against. Don't tell me you're actually

going to be home for brunch.

Well, after all, Charlie is making
poached salmon. And I have much to do.

You really wouldn't spend a day at home
just for the menu, would you?

No, not just for the menu.

Maybe for something else.

Something more.

What would this something more be?

Something between us.

Something we've never had.

And something you never will have.

I've been hearing that for the last two
months. Lance is getting a little old.

How was I supposed to know that my
grandmother would just ignore the

paternity tests?

Of course she would.

Why shouldn't she?

She's got you to do her bidding for her,
doesn't she?

She's got her eye on the Agretti
Vineyard. She's got a beautiful little

grandchild to boot.

No, you just stay there, Lance.

You just stay there and make your
grandmother happy. That's what's

That's not true.

I care about you.

You have a real strange way of showing
it.

You're jealous, aren't you?

You think I care about Melissa, don't
you? If you don't, why are you still

her?

Because I'm there to make sure that she
fails.

She's got the jaws of a python and she's
trying to swallow Falcon Crystal

already.

But I promise you something.

She'll choke on it first.

Let's find someplace quiet, romantic, so
we can talk about what's important.

Mr. Gervetti.

Charlie.

Did you wish to see Miss Channing?

No, Charlie, I need to talk to you. I
was hoping maybe you could help me out.

I was up at the Agretti place yesterday.

What for?

Trying to find a caretaker, Angela.

Apparently he's resigned, but I did
learn his name. It's Fong.

I'd appreciate it if you could help me.
Charlie doesn't work for you.

Now, why do you insist on involving
Falconcrest in a scandal?

There's no scandal.

I'm just trying to find out who killed
Carlo Agretti.

I've got an address in Chinatown. An
introduction from you could help break

ice. You keep snooping around and we'll
have more bad publicity than we can

overcome. Believe me, this has got
nothing to do with Falcon Crest.

Everything you do affects our
reputation, Chase.

I'm not going to destroy your
reputation.

Now, can I count on you?

I'm afraid I never knew Mr. Fong.

Charlie is not in the habit of
associating with servants and field

All right.

All right.

my way.

You'll make a laughing stock of Falcon
Crest.

Charlie, you make sure that he doesn't
talk to Mr. Fong.

Isn't that your grandmother's lawyer?

Well, it looks like him, but I don't
think so.

Wasn't that young man out there Angela
Channing's grandson?

Lance?

No.

He'd be with the family on the weekend.

Just be just a minute.

There you go.

I understand that you've been having
some conversations with Chase about your

father.

Well, not so much about my father, but
about his murder.

Chase thinks he can find his killer.

I'm very friendly with Chase and Maggie,
you know. I mean, more so than anyone

else here at Falcon Crest.

Yes?

Well, I think there's something you
should know about Chase.

He's the only one around here who seems
to care what happened to my father.

That's all I need to know.

Well, Chase is a wonderful man, that's
true, but sometimes he's almost

compulsive about things.

Calls it unfinished business.

He has great determination. I admire
that.

Yes, well, his determination almost
destroyed this whole family last year

he insisted upon putting Emma on the
stand to testify.

He uncovered the truth, didn't he?

This time it might be more than just
determination.

It might be an obsession.

An obsession to wage war against my
mother.

I think Chase can handle Angela.

Don't you?

Chinese residence.

One moment, please.

Mrs. Compson?

Your father's attorney, Mr. Donaldson.

Mr. Donaldson?

Hello?

I thought you'd be home.

Thank you, Charlie.

How kind of you to call, Mr.

Donaldson.

Richard, are you crazy?

What if Angela had answered the
telephone?

Oh, I knew she'd be hard at work at the
winery this time of day.

Besides, I would have just left word
that Mr. Donaldson called.

You have some nerve.

So I've been told.

I just wanted to tell you how much I
enjoyed dinner the other night.

I did, too.

I was hoping we might have another
little exotic encore, so to speak.

Don't you think you're pushing your
luck?

How do you think Angela would react to
my seeing you for dinner?

I'm not worried about Angela.

Are you?

No, I'm not.

I know a wonderful Szechuan place in
Chinatown called The Flowering Rose.

Would you like to meet me there?

That sounds nice.

Good, because I've already made
reservations for 8 o 'clock.

How can I refuse a man as sure of
himself as you are?

I look forward to it.

Goodbye.

I thought those reservations were for
us.

They were.

Past tense.

You don't expect me to stand still for
this.

You're upset.

You're damn right I'm upset.

You expect me to believe your little
intimate dinners with Melissa are part

your master plan?

Now you know that the Agretti property
is not going to be easy to get.

If you think it's worth prostituting
yourself for.

Diana, my dear, for these stakes, I will
gladly turn an occasional trick.

This is the address Melissa's attorney
said Charles Fong receives his income

refund. I guess that's as dependable a
source as any. I'd say so.

Hello there.

Are you the manager?

Will you care?

We're looking for a man who lives here,
Charles Fong.

Police. No, no. My name's Chase
Gioberti. This is my son, Cole.

Bill Collector.

No, no, we just want to talk to him.

Too bad. Mr. Fong moved out.

Did he leave a forwarding address?

No. No address.

No Fong.

I think it needs just a little more time
in the wood.

What do you think?

I think you better tell me where you
were yesterday.

Yesterday?

I had lunch in San Francisco with Frank
Jacobson from the City Wine

Distributors. I thought I told you that.
I know what you told me.

And I know that I spoke to Frank
Jacobson yesterday at his office where

having lunch alone.

All right.

All right.

The truth is that you and Philip have
been getting awfully friendly, and I'm

just not sure I trust him. So I kept an
eye on him over the weekend. Don't give

me the old bone about Philip seeing
other women. I know about that.

You do? The trouble with men like Philip
is that they think they can outsmart

me. Well, they can't.

And neither can you.

Then you know I had lunch with Laura
yesterday.

I do now.

reading about some of the, uh, Pommard
Burgundies and the, uh, Chambartin

Vintages, and I think if we could get
hold of some of Elliot McKay's Pinot

and mix it with ours, we might come up
with a blend we're looking for.

Sure.

McKay's Pinots have always been pretty
good.

Don't tell me you're picking up
screenwriting, too.

No, I'm just fooling around.

Well, don't let your mother's Hollywood
experience give you any ideas. We've got

a wine blend to come up with here.

All right, let's get to it.

Another bottle of Shaoxing?

You're trying to get me drunk.

Don't bother.

I'm already several feet off the ground.

What a nice place to be.

Do you know that the world's oldest
culture has the quaintest of customs?

Ladies first.

Beware of handsome men bearing rice
wine.

They have secret desire.

Let me see.

Beautiful woman is like spice of the
Orient.

Hot to the taste.

Creating hunger for more.

Chinatown. Let's not argue about it, all
right? Who's arguing? I just want to

talk. What's the matter with talking?

Maggie, I know you don't agree with what
I'm doing, so what's the point of

talking about it?

It's all so ugly.

All of it.

They dropped the charges against Cole.
Isn't that enough for you?

No, it's not. I don't want Cole to go
through the rest of his life with people

in this valley looking at him like he's
a common criminal.

All right.

All right, look, if you insist on
creating problems that I'm not sure even

exist, why don't you just go?

Hire a private detective.

Honey, because I am telling you, people
in this valley are going to resent you

running around like a self -offended
vigilante. I don't care what people

I care about our son. Well, I care about
him, too. But don't you see what this

is doing to you? It's ripping you apart.
It's something that's got to be done.

Damn it. You are so self -righteous.

Hi, it's Vicki.

Vicki.

Is there something wrong?

No. You want some company?

Vicki.

Look, this... Our running together once
in a while, my coaching you.

That's one thing.

Nick, please.

I know that we can't exactly date, but
we agreed to be friends, remember?

We can talk.

Can I come over?

No.

I want to meet you in town.

O 'Brien's.

Give me a chance to give the Packer to
run.

Cole's going to be meeting some friends
nearby.

I'll have him drop me off in about an
hour, okay?

Sure.

Diana.

It's ten o 'clock.

You don't expect me to believe you're
still at dinner, do you?

Wherever the hell you are, I'd like to
hear from you.

Woman thinks I'm a workaholic.

I, uh...

I didn't realize it was so late. It's
not late. It's early.

You can stay.

I really have to get back to Falcon
Crest.

Why?

I really do.

All right.

If you insist.

The evening was lovely.

Thank you.

It's just that if you insist on pursuing
this murder investigation,

I...

I just feel it's going to do us more
harm than good.

You know I don't want that.

Well, they did drop the charges against
Cole.

All right, all right.

No more time store Dick Tracy.

Mr. Denault.

Diana Hunter.

I'm sorry to call you at this hour.

There's something I thought you'd want
to hear without delay.

It's about Richard Channing.

Where his true loyalties lie.

Thanks for the lift.

You sure you don't want me to pick you
up on the way back? No.

No, really. I'm just going to meet a
couple guys in town for a beer.

Be back in an hour. No problem. I'll
just catch a ride with Linda.

All right. Bye. Bye.

Hi.

I'll park right here. No, I don't think
I want to stay.

Why not? Well, it's really nothing
special tonight. Just the house, Pam.

You did say you wanted to take the
Packard for a run. Yeah.

You got a point there.

What can I say? When you're right,
you're right.

It's almost midnight.

So it is.

Hello, Angela.

Where have you been so late?

I'm surprised you noticed my absence.

Were you with Richard Channing? I had a
business engagement.

Just as Lance has those big important
business meetings in the city.

Perhaps if you acted more like a wife,
he'd act more like a husband.

Actually, I prefer to take your example,
Angela, that of the powerful

businesswoman. You haven't got what it
takes, my dear.

All it takes is having something someone
else wants, and I do.

The Agretti vineyards are in
considerable demand, or haven't you

duty is to this family, and that
includes the Agretti vineyards. Why

faithful to Falcon Crest when my husband
cheats on me? What about my feelings?

Poor little Melissa. It's always someone
else's fault, isn't it?

You'll never get my father's property.

You're wrong.

Your son is a part of this family, too.

We're all bound together, whether you
like it or not.

Got any idea how fast you were going?

Speed limit, why?

Speed limit's 35. I clocked you at 50.

Come on, there's no traffic out here.

Coming from town?

Yeah, I was with some friends.

Were you drinking?

I had a beer.

Two beers.

Well, Cole, we got a choice here.

We can either conduct a little field
sobriety test...

Or you can come into town with me for a
complete chemical analysis.

I'm not drunk.

If you refuse either of these tests,
you'll spend 72 hours in jail sobering

When are you going to stop hassling me?
You wouldn't have been stopped if you

hadn't been speeding.

Now, you either walk that line or you
get in the car... Oh, come on, man. It's

dark out here. Dark is not a problem.

Heel and toe.

I've seen better. Let's try something a
little easier. Stand on your left foot

and recite the alphabet.

Do it.

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M,
O.

I'd say you're right on the edge. You
might pass the chemical test, then again

you might not. But just to show you that
I'm not hassling you, here, sign this.

50 miles an hour in a 35 zone.

That's all it is.

Alcohol's a drug, Cole. It's a
depressant.

Even if you've only had two beers.

Be careful, huh?

You'll never get off my back, will you?

Some of the best real estate in the
world.

Some of the toughest people you'd ever
want to meet live out there.

I don't care about those people.

Sounds like someone's feeling sorry for
herself.

I don't feel sorry for myself.

It's just that all my father cares about
is...

Beating Angela Channing at her own game
and taking over Falcon Crest.

And my mother's got her head in the
clouds, dreaming about a career in

Hollywood.

Yeah.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe
your father's trying to make things

around you?

I mean, he devotes a lot of time to the
Board of Supervisors. Oh, yeah, I know.

What an ego trip that is. At the same
time, he's busting his back learning the

winery business.

Funny. You know, when we first moved out
here from New York, it was supposed to

be for the good of our family, to bring
us closer together.

But in all the time we've been out here,
I don't think that my father and I have

had a single meaningful conversation.

Not one.

You're the only person who seems to
understand me.

You just have to give people a chance.

That's all.

You're clear, aren't you, Nick?

Next on Falcon Threat.

Looks like your boy tried to kill
himself, Jane.

No. I'm surprised you didn't notice how
troubled and despondent Cole was.

Son, you've got to be strong now, too,
all right?

You've got to fight, buddy.

Come on.

The doctor said he may not live through
the night.

If Cole dies, we'll never know the
truth, will we?

Of course we will.

Cole will be blamed for Carla's murder
and...

The case will be closed.
