Somebody's trying to destroy this
family.

And I'm going to find out who it is. You
accusing Angela Channing? I'm simply

doing what you should be doing, trying
to solve the Agretti murder.

Falcon Crest demands all of my
attention. What about love?

That's not important.

Who killed Agretti? You would love to
see me indicted, wouldn't you? For

something I know nothing about.

I hate you.

Beautiful music for another beautiful
morning in the Bay Area.

Our present temperature reading is a
cool 52 degrees with a high today in the

low 70s. The time is 7 .15.

Now back to some easy listening.

Hey, it's almost 7 .30. I've got to get
up.

He needs a rest.

I'm going to be late for work.

I thought you got a job interview at
nine.

Don't you?

I forgot to tell you they canceled.

They did?

Or did you cancel?

What's the difference?

Lance, you haven't done anything about
looking for a job.

It's only been a week.

You're going to be late.

Remember?

Stop counting on your grandmother, Lan.

She threw you out, remember?

There's no more falcon craft and there's
no more money.

I don't need my grandmother or her
checkbook.

Prove it.

Look, for the first time, you have a
chance to make it on your own. I can't

it alone.

I need you, Laurie.

Damn it, Chase. How do you think this
makes me look?

Frankly, Dan, I don't care. Why didn't
you find that letter when you went

through Agretti's papers? That's not the
issue.

You didn't have to go over my head to
the DA.

That letter casts a whole new light on
the murder.

That letter doesn't mean a thing. The
Agretti girl still gets everything.

But he threatened, apparently. He
threatened to disinherit her. And that

sit too well with Angela Channing. That
makes a difference.

They had a disagreement.

Happens in families all the time. Well,
the DA's got the letter. Maybe he can

take an objective look at this little
family dispute.

What are you getting at, Chase?

Are you accusing Angela Channing? Not at
all.

I'm simply doing what you should be
doing, trying to solve the Agretti

Well, some people work fast. I prefer to
be thorough and leave no stone

unturned. That's very commendable, Mr.
Bitterman.

When do you start finding something
under the stars? Well, it takes time.

I think I'm getting close.

Close to what?

Your Mr. Fong.

He made a reservation to fly to Hong
Kong this morning.

And you didn't stop him? I didn't need
to.

I staked out the airline. He never
picked up his ticket.

Is he still in the area?

As far as I can tell.

By the way, do you have a check for me?

When is this going to end?

As soon as the Gretys murderer is found.

You're really enjoying this whole thing,
aren't you? That's unfair.

It's like you're acting out some kind of
a fantasy.

At least my fantasies don't take me away
to Hollywood.

Chase, writing is my career, not some
kind of crazy obsession that cuts me off

from my family.

There must be a lot of interest in what
you've done with the McCabe place.

Nearly everyone's accepted your
invitation to the housewarming party.

What about Angela Channing?

Well, I didn't say you're batting a
thousand.

She'll be there.

The party honoring the nation's three
most respected wine critics will be

impossible for her to ignore.

Well, after this party, you'll be
impossible to ignore.

No one's ever been able to get those
three men in the same place before.

My new neighbors in the Tuscany Valley
will soon realize that when I bought the

McKay Vineyards, it was just the first
step of a much longer journey.

Should be fun. Glad I'm along for the
ride.

Oh, I almost forgot.

The floor is cold.

The roses you sent Emma Channing in
Houston last week have been refused.

Sounds like Emma's on the move again.

Remind me to talk to Chase about the ad
campaign.

I want Falcon Crest to be represented by
the best Madison Avenue agency.

Why do you want to involve Chase in the
ad campaign?

Well, I'd rather have him working on the
ad campaign than at the winery.

Thank you.

Did you RSVP the invitation of Richard's
party?

I thought you didn't want to go.

I've changed my mind.

I have the ability to be flexible.

Not like your son.

Lance is standing on his principles,
Mother.

Of course, out in the cold.

He's throwing away everything we've
worked for.

Well, maybe he doesn't want everything
we've worked for.

Well, then I'll just have to give it to
Cole.

Why don't you go all the way and
acknowledge the fact that Cole is

father? Don't be absurd.

I need that child to get the Agretti
vineyards.

Of course.

After I have them, that's... That's
another matter.

Waitress, could we have a cup of coffee,
please?

I just spoke to our location manager,
and he's having some trouble.

finding the right spots for some of our
scenes. And since you know this area so

well, I was hoping maybe you could help
us out.

Ah, okay.

But first of all, Daryl, I would like to
get something clear, thank you, between

the two of you.

Um, I took this job as associate
producer really against my better

But you couldn't pass up a chance like
this.

Yes, I could.

But that's not the point.

There is a lot going on right now with
my family that needs my attention.

But I know you. You can handle it.

I intend to.

I just want you to understand that while
I will do the best job that I can on

this film, my family comes first.

That's exactly what I'd expect from you.

And what almost happened between us was
a big mistake, and

I don't want to cause Chase or myself
that kind of pain again.

You won't have to.

Okay, so what look is this going to help
you with?

You're late.

Mr. Daniels is gone.

What about our advertising campaign?

I've taken care of that.

I called Charlie and told him I'd be
late. I had a meeting with the district

attorney. The whole world doesn't stop
while you're out playing Sherlock

Now, your first obligation is to Falcon.
I'm well aware of my obligations to

Falcon. Then you should have been at the
meeting.

Now, you've hired a private detective to
find Carlo's murderer.

Let him do his job.

And maybe you'll have time to do yours.

Let's see.

What have we got, Mr. Bitterman?

Then Lance hasn't even called.

No, he hasn't.

You're worried, aren't you?

And not for me.

For Joseph.

He needs a father.

I know just how you feel.

After Tony left and I was alone, I felt
the same way.

Well, it's all a pattern.

Lance grew up without a father. I
suppose Joseph is going to grow up the

way.

Well, we've come home, have we? Come
home?

For what?

I was just leaving. You don't have to
go.

Oh, no, it's all right.

I have nothing to say to him either.

She'll never change.

And you will.

Will? I have changed.

I don't need Feldenkrais anymore. I can
make it on my own. Is that what you came

back to tell us? That you don't need us
anymore?

No.

I've applied for a job.

Really? Where?

Well, I'd rather not say it till it
comes through.

God, it's good to see you, Mom.

What I do need is a little money just to
hold me over till I get word.

Some things never change, do they?

I'll pay you back, I promise.

You know, all I ever wanted from you was
love.

Well, you've got my love.

Money's never had anything to do with
it.

Well, the prodigal son's returned home.

I'm sorry to disappoint you,
Grandmother, but I'm just passing

I think you should know the bank called
and said you're considerably overdrawn.

Well, that's none of your concern
anymore.

I know that.

It's exactly what I told them.

Can I take you to the airport?

Thank you, but Daryl's picking me up in
half an hour.

Thanks.

It'll give us a good chance to talk.

Honey, he is already on his way.

Well, leave him a note.

Chase, I told Daryl I would drive to the
airport with him. This is a business

trip. I don't care about business. We
need to talk.

So what's this Vicki's been saying about
Gloria Marlowe starring in your

picture? Oh, come on, kids. Let's not
jump to conclusions.

She's read the script. She's interested
in meeting the writer. That's all. Then

why doesn't she fly up here?

Because she is in the middle of shooting
a movie. I'm just flattered that she's

interested at all.

Anyway, you guys save me a little
dinner, and I'll tell you all about it

get home, okay?

Okay. We'll have a late dinner when you
come home.

Great. We'll send out for pizza.

That's not much of a dinner.

I can make my tuna surprise.

No, we'll send out for pizza.

Thanks a lot.

Ben.

You.

What is it?

This is an injunction signed by the
district court judge.

An injunction?

Interfering in the Agretti case or
making a nuisance of himself by

public or the law enforcement officials
in pursuit of the public interest.

You did bring it on yourself, Chase.

Well, you can't blame a man for merely
doing his job, can you?

I'm glad you see it that way.

Have a nice day.

Leave it alone.

I will.

As soon as I know the truth.

Mrs. Croft?

Oh, Amanda.

I didn't know you came here, Angela.

I don't.

But you do.

I need to talk to you about Philip
Erickson.

Oh, yes, I forgot.

You do have a way of barging in on his
private life.

Would you excuse us, please?

I pay for his services on a 24 -hour
daily basis, and at those prices, he has

private life.

I'm not sure he'd agree with you.

Well, what about your husband?

Would he agree?

My husband is a politician.

He understands the art of compromise.

Well, maybe he does.

But what about the voters?

Don't threaten me, Angela.

That's no threat.

That's a promise.

My stepson publishes a newspaper, a
newspaper that thrives on scandal.

Now, I think we understand each other,
don't we?

And down here is where I want the gazebo
and the spa.

I'm going to be making a number of
improvements, Nick, now that I own this

place. I want you to be the supplier.

Well, what kind of improvements are you
going to make?

Well, the first thing I'm going to do is
double the size of the winery by

building out to the property line.

Well, you already built out to the road,
aren't you? The road is just an

unrecorded easement. It goes over to the
Visconti vineyards.

I own the land, and I want to build on
it.

The Scotty's easement may be unrecorded,
but the right -of -way belongs to the

county. That's the catch, Nick.

I've already talked to Supervisor
Herrera, and he's agreed to ask the

vacate its claim, but I need your
support on this, too.

I get it.

I thought you'd understand.

I can't promise you anything.

Then don't.

I learned a long time ago, actions are
all that matter, not promises.

All right, I'll think about it. In the
meantime, I have to get back to the

Don't forget about the party tomorrow.

I'll be expecting you.

There she is.

Ready to meet your new star?

Ready? I'm terrified.

Miss Marlowe?

Mr. Clayton, you're late.

My sincerest apologies. A last -minute
phone call from New York that I had to

take. Oh?

May I please introduce Maggie Gilberty?

Delighted.

That'll be fine.

That's fine.

Now, where is that playwright you were
supposed to bring by?

Um, I'm the playwright. Well, I'm the
screenwriter. I wrote the script.

Oh, I should have known.

The style, the approach.

It's all so fresh.

Well, thank you, thank you. Then you
like the part of Leona Gray?

Maggie wrote it with you in mind.

Well, I must say, I'm flattered.

But I thought this was your first
screenplay.

Uh, it is.

Oh, then you haven't been jaded by all
this, uh, tinsel?

I suppose it's that...

innocence that I'm really attracted to
in your writing.

And I love what you've done with my
character.

Good.

Why don't you sit down and we can talk?
Oh, okay. Thank you. I have a few ideas

and I thought we might share them. You
see, I see Leona as somewhat

younger, vibrantly sensuous.

Saint -like?

Precisely.

Oh, come on. Follow the string. You
follow the string. I'm exhausted.

Okay.

I will.

You see, if you were to follow the
string, you just may be

persuaded.

To change your mind.

And join me for dinner and the theater.

How much did all this cost, Lance?

Who cares how much it costs?

Because when I left here this morning,
you were broke.

You said you were going to look for a
job.

Are we going to talk about this again?

I thought I told you that when the right
job comes along, I'm going to jump on

it.

Meanwhile, you just dropped by Falcon
Crest and borrowed what you needed.

Baby, you don't understand. No, you
don't understand.

There are no free rides, Lance.

If we're going to make it, we both have
to work.

I don't want your grandmother's money.
It's not my grandmother's. It's not

yours.

And until it is, I don't want any part
of it.

Will you stop worrying?

It's almost ten. She'll be home any
minute.

She probably had a tough time catching a
flight.

She should have called. She said she'd
be here by nine.

I guess he heard you.

Hello, Maggie.

Is it you, Bertie?

It's Charles Fong.

Mr. Greddy's gardener. I have something
I must show you.

Mr. Fong, where are you?

Meet me at the Greddy place by the tool
shed.

Half hour.

Mr. Fong, wait.

I'd better meet him along.

Mr. Pong, wait!

Hey, oh!

What? Put that thing away before you
hurt yourself.

Dan! That was a Greti's gardener. He's
got some information that we could... I

don't want to hear about it. You have
the right to remain silent. If you

to give up that right, anything you say
can and will be used against you in a

court of law. You have a right to an
attorney. If you can't afford one, one

be appointed for you by the court.

Dan!

I said it was nothing.

Who bailed you out?

Nobody bailed me out. I was released on
my own recognizance.

I tried to call, but you still weren't
back from L .A.

Flight was delayed. I was lucky to be
able to get back at all.

Yeah, but Daryl did all he could. Would
you forget about Daryl? I am worried

about you.

Fong said he had information about the
murder.

What would you have done?

I would have called the sheriff.

I would have called that detective that
you're paying so well. He wanted to talk

to me. He took one look at the sheriff
and vanished.

This is all very exciting, isn't it?
Strange phone calls, late -night

at the scene of the crime. Drop it. Drop
it, all right?

Chase, this could have been a set -up.
You could have been shot. You could have

been killed. Isn't that writer's
imagination of yours getting a little

away? It wasn't my writer's imagination
that nearly got our son killed. No, it

wasn't. Somebody's trying to destroy
this family.

And I'm going to find out who it is.

I saw your light on.

Can we talk?

I'm really pretty tired.

I just can't get used to the idea of
Lance not being here.

Lance was never here when he lived here.

Well, you really can't blame him for
that.

I mean, you weren't exactly the perfect
wife.

Okay, I'm really not in the mood for a
lecture.

Then how about some advice?

Fine.

Go ahead.

Without Lance, you're nothing.

I mean, just how long do you think
you'll last around here?

I've already outlasted Lance.

My mother didn't arrange this marriage
just so that she could stand back and

watch it fall apart.

As soon as that divorce becomes final,
you're through at Falcon Crest.

Even if Lance divorces me, I still have
your gritty vineyards.

Then you'd be just as dependent upon
Falcon Crest as your father was.

I thought you wanted more for yourself
than that.

If you'll excuse me, I think it's past
my bedtime.

Yeah, you really should have married
Cole.

He seems to be the one that gains the
most by this.

Just out slumming. Well, now that you've
seen how the other half lives, you can

hurry on back to Falcon Crest and make
your report to my grandmother.

Your grandmother doesn't even know I'm
here.

Then what do you want?

I was curious.

Where is the little woman?

Lucy.

Laurie.

She's at work.

I'm glad to see that's one social
disease you haven't caught yet.

Get out of here.

Not until I have a chance to give you
the good news.

I've decided to grant you a divorce.

Well, how generous.

Considering I never needed your
permission in the first place.

I wanted to give Colin another chance.

And with you gone now, he is the new
crown prince of Falcon Crest.

You're going to make me throw up.

Surely you've heard that Angela is
grooming him to replace you.

Which shouldn't be too difficult since
he's twice the man you ever were.

Aren't you going to introduce us?

We've met, Melissa.

Have we?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Lance's old friends all seem to look
alike.

Thank you for a lovely time.

Nice meeting you.

Looks bad.

Pack your bags and get out.

Baby, nothing happened. I don't even
know why she came here.

It'd seem pretty obvious, wouldn't it?

Come on, you can't be serious.

Eric.

Charlie.

Philip.

I thought you were going to meet us at
the party.

Julia, would you excuse us?

Angela and I need a moment alone.

Certainly. I'll be in the car, Mother.
All right.

You mind?

No, help yourself.

I understand you spoke to Amanda Croft.

I ran into her at the salon.

She seems to be a charming person.

I'm sure she feels the same way about
you.

Finish your brandy. We're late for
Richard's circus.

What did you say to Amanda to frighten
her so badly?

To tell the truth... Please do.

Your tawdry little affair has been
affecting your performance as my

So, I had to do something about it.

Your own personal feelings have nothing
to do with it?

Of course not. For over a year, I've
tried to get close to you, but you've

it impossible.

My main concern is to see that this
winery becomes the greatest winery in

world. What about love?

That's not important.

Well, it is to me.

I'm not a pathetic little puppy,
grateful for every touch of my master's

I'm a grown man, a living, breathing
man, believe it or not, with emotions,

certain needs.

I owe myself more in life than this.

You owe me your allegiance.

Oh, you have that, Angela.

I only wish you didn't think you have to
pay for it.

Maggie, Chase.

Hi, Richard. Thank you for coming.

You know my associate, Diana Hunter?
Yes, of course.

Let me introduce you to my guest of
honor, Alexander Jameson.

Mr. Jameson is the food and wine critic
for the Washington Dispatch. How do you

do?

Appreciate your kind words on our
Chardonnay.

Mr. Gioberti works at the Falcon Crest
Winery.

Yes, I do work there. I also happen to
own half of it. Of course you do. How

forgetful of me.

I never thought I would see the day when
you would leave Falcon Crest.

Well, I could have stayed, Mr. Visconti,
but I've decided to pursue business

interests on my own.

Until now, you've been a competitor. If
I were to hire you, I would need some

assurance that you wouldn't return to
the competition.

Well, let's put it in writing.

I'll guarantee you my services for as
long as you need them.

Looks like Richard's putting on quite a
performance.

We're all mere performers upon the stage
of life.

Excuse me.

This is a surprise.

Just working a party, grandmother.

Hello, Angela.

It appears that I am about to hire away
your general operations manager.

My former general operations manager.

He may be my own flesh and blood, but
I'm a businesswoman, Paola.

Fired him.

Well, I had to. He was way over his head
at Falcon Crest. But I'm sure he'd be

useful in a little winery like yours.

We ship 15 ,000 cases a year, Angie.
We're not Falcon Crest, but we're not

small either.

Mr. Visconti, I guarantee you I am
qualified for this job.

I need someone who can handle a growing
operation.

I'll have to give this some thought,
Lance.

I'm sure he'll find someone qualified to
do the job. Oh, Cole.

Angie. How are you? Hello,

Richard. Well, Angela, what a surprise.

Gentlemen, it's a pleasure for me to
introduce you. Oh, never mind the

introductions. Ruben, nice to see you.

Frank, it's been a long time.

Alex. Why haven't you called me? I've
missed you.

Oh, I want to introduce my nephew's son,
Cole Gioberti. Now, this is a young man

you're going to hear a great deal about
in the future.

We've already heard a great deal about
him.

Excuse us.

You look lonely.

I hope you've given some thought to the
little matter we discussed.

Oh, yeah. I thought about it.

I just don't like the way you operate,
Jenny.

My business tactics, Nick, are not the
issue.

The easement road is.

I want you to get the Board of
Supervisors to close it.

What was that all about?

Sounded like he was threatening you.

He wants Visconti Vineyards. Oh, so he
wants you to help close the easement

road. There wouldn't be any access to
Visconti's place.

Mr. Visconti would have to sell to him.

No, it's not that simple.

Isn't it?

How long will you be staying, Alex? Oh,
I have to leave tonight.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Now, will you call me when you return?

Well, indeed, it'll be a good six months
then. Oh, really?

You get to New York, don't you? Hello,
Mother.

How's Trick?

But how did you know that we'd all be
here today?

Well, this party is news. I read about
it in the society section of the Globe.

Well, you've managed to keep yourself
pretty scarce these past few months.

Congratulations. Well, I had to to get
myself together.

You must be exhausted, Emma. Let's take
you home, darling.

Well, you're looking rather pale
yourself, Mother. Are you sure you're

enough rest?

Let's go, Emma.

You know something? The climate in Texas
would be wonderful for you. Houston is

just wonderful this time of year.

I'm not going anywhere.

Well, neither am I. This is the first
party I've been to in ages, and I'm

to enjoy it.

Emma. Kate.

Look at you.

You look terrific.

Spectacular. Well, you know what mother
always says, clothes make the woman.

What do you think, Kate?

Well, you're smiling. That's all I need
to know.

You know, I never would have gotten to
that clinic if it hadn't been for you.

Oh, nonsense. Don't give me any credit.
You did it all yourself.

Emma. Vicki. Oh, I missed you so much. I
missed you, too. You look wonderful.

Hello, Emma.

Hello, Richard.

Welcome home.

Thank you.

You know, Richard, now that I'm back, I
want to talk to you about the new globe.

Oh? I am a major shareholder, you know.

Anytime. My door's always open.

Enjoy yourselves.

Come along, Emma.

Mother, I'm so glad you're here. I
really think you ought to know what all

therapists say about you.

They say... Emma.

I'm going to go play pool.

All right. All right.

Hello, Melissa.

Hi.

I understand the sheriff confiscated my
father's papers, including Angela's

letter.

Yeah, I gave it to the DA, hoping it
would get us some action. All I got was

arrested. Well, thanks for trying
anyway.

By the way, I think you should get rid
of that private investigator you hired.

Bitterman, isn't it? Yeah, why?

Because he's on Angela's payroll.

What?

Just don't tell Angela where you found
out.

It does explain a lot. Chase, wait a
minute. Not here. Can't it wait till

tomorrow? No, it can't. You're just
going to embarrass yourself and me.

If anybody's going to be embarrassed,
it's Angela.

Angela, I understand you've hired a
private investigator named Bitterman.

Well, why should that concern you? Oh,
you know damn well why it concerns me.

What are you trying to do? Stop me from
getting to the truth about the Agretti

murder? I thought the sheriff put an end
to that nonsense when he threw you in

jail. I've only scratched the surface.

But I'm going to dig a lot deeper now
that I know you've got something to

Chase, you're making a spectacle of
yourself.

Who killed Agretti?

How would I know?

The last I heard, the evidence was still
pointed to Cole.

I think you know a lot more about the
murder than that.

Putting my detective on your payroll
makes that pretty obvious.

You would love to see me indicted,
wouldn't you? For something I know

about. I want to find out who set up my
son.

Well, of course you would.

You must be going out of your mind
knowing that the only thing that's

between you and all of Falcon Crest is
evidence against me.

Evidence that does not exist.

You haven't heard the end of this,
Angela.

Nothing ever changes, does it, Mother?

Talk to you.

Look, if it's about that stunt your
grandmother pulled, I didn't know a

about it.

I just want to do my job.

Well, the problem is that your job is my
job.

Hey, your problems with your grandmother
are none of my business.

You may walk around here like the
preacher's son, but I see right through

and I'm not going to let you get away
with it. Your problems with Angela are

none of my business.

Unless, of course, you'd like me to give
you a problem.

How would you like to take me home?

Your husband can take you home.

Where are you going?

We've got to talk, baby.

We've got nothing to talk about.

how you get your way with that little
bimbo and falcon sister.

You may think you've squeezed me out of
Falcon Crest,

but nobody takes what's mine.

You just watch.

Falcon Crest is going to be all mine.

The only thing left for me to do. You're
being a little melodramatic. Just wait

a minute. A minute? An hour? A month?

Chase, I have been waiting.

And nothing has changed.

Over a month ago, you told me you were
going to let the sheriff handle this.

That what people in town thought didn't
matter. I tried, Maggie. I can't stop it

now. That I matter.

You do.

But not enough to listen.

You're wrong. You're completely wrong.
Am I?

Is that why you can't let go of this?

Chase Cole was almost killed because of
what you are doing. And you are just

getting yourself in deeper and deeper.
And the harder I try, I cannot seem to

get through to you. This is the wrong
time to leave.

I don't know what else to do.

Stay.

Stay. Help me.

Help me find Carlo's murderer.

You just don't get it, do you?

I see the chickens have come home to
roost.

Didn't you once say that the crime is
not in making the mistake but in failing

to admit it?

You apologizing?

That depends. Are you accepting?

Oh, don't play games with me.

Did you come here on your own or did
your girlfriend throw you out?

I came back because I belong here.

Well, I can't argue with that.

But you're going to have to earn your
way back.

I suppose that means competing with
Cole.

Let the best man win.

I want my old job back.

But if you expect to come back to Falcon
Crest, you're going to have to prove to

me you're worth it.

One more mistake, and it's all coals.

Oh, and one other matter.

You stay married.

Well, that won't be a problem,
Grandmother. You see, Melissa and I have

an understanding.

Good night, Angela.

Are you going to sleep so early?

No.

Just to bed.

Next on Falcon Thread.

I think I'll start by blowing Angela and
my mother apart.

How?

Leave it to me.

I will not tolerate one more betrayal.

Who would ever dare to betray you?
Here's to an unbeatable team.

And to the defeat of Angela Channing.
You know, it isn't easy for a woman out

her own. You seem to have done very
well.

Well, I never depended upon a man.

Look, we're dealing with a dangerous
reality, let us say. Just when it's

exciting?
