Get an NGQ for LaVache, a cardiac
monitor.

Hurry up. This wouldn't have happened if
you'd been taking care of him.

Get an orderly! I always felt you could
be the key to the destruction of Angela

Tannen. You were jealous of my having
the mother you never had.

I think you should know, Richard, as
Julia began to fire, Jacqueline stepped

directly in front of you.

What you're suggesting is murder.

That's right.

Where are you taking this?

Intentive care.

Thank you.

I'm still not getting any pulse.

Get an NG tube for lavage.

I want a number 5 ET tube.

Cardiac monitor.

An IV with a D5 quarter normal. Hurry
up.

What's going on here?

Who gave you the authority?

To swallow these pills.

All right, that'll be all. I can take
over for now.

Close those curtains. Now.

Please

call

the page operator.

Hi, my baby.

Is he going to be all right?

We'll know after they've pumped his
stomach.

Oh, the poor child. How did he get those
pills?

Somebody obviously left him out. This
wouldn't have happened if you'd been

taking care of him. How can you say
that?

You put him up to this, didn't you?

Admit it!

Orderly!

Get an orderly!

talk to you.

Look, I'd like to make a phone call.

No way.

I'm willing to pay for it.

Where do you want to call?

San Francisco.

That's long distance. That's expensive.

How about $50?

Call that far away will be hard to
explain when the bill comes in.

75, 100, just for a couple of minutes on
the phone.

Melissa's with Dr. Hooks. How's Joseph?

We're still waiting.

Dr. Landry's coming.

Well, he's doing fine.

We'll put him on an IV and keep him
overnight for observation.

Can I go in there and see him, Doctor?

Yes. But I'd like him to rest for a few
minutes.

Thank you, Dr. Landry.

Sure.

I want to thank you for your help.

I'm glad I was able to.

You were wonderful.

I'm going to go check on Melissa.

We'll wait for you in the coffee shop.

Thank you. Come on in.

How's your dad?

He was doing fine, and then all of a
sudden he started to complain about head

pain.

Head pain? He was fine when I saw him.

Let's take a look.

I'm going to stay here just to make sure
Joseph's all right.

I'm going to pay Julia Compson a visit
tomorrow morning.

Are you sure that's wise?

She is extremely dangerous, even in
prison.

She killed my mother.

She's not going to avoid paying her debt
to society simply because she's Angela

Channing's daughter.

Ah, yes, the equities of American
justice.

Listen, considering the power of Falcon
Crest, it wouldn't surprise me if a

local jury finds her guilty of hunting
without a license.

Well, what can you do to prevent it?

Simply going to make sure that the next
person Julia comes and hurts is Angela

Channing.

Hello, Vance.

How's Joseph?

He's going to be okay, Melissa.

Are you all right? Oh, she's doing just
fine.

I've taken a blood sample for testing,
just as a precaution.

I only feign it. I know, I know. I just
want to take a few more tests.

Can I take her home, Doctor?

Certainly. But if there's a recurrence,
make sure you call me. I will.

Both of you gave me a scare.

Tell me about Joseph.

They popped his stomach, but he's going
to be all right.

They'll want to keep him overnight.

You can stop by and see him on our way
out.

It was a pretty close call, Melissa.

You really do care about him, don't you?

I swear to you.

I swear to you. I didn't leave those
pills where he could get them.

I was just so frightened for him.

I'm sorry about what I said.

We've both been saying things we don't
really mean.

I guess I'm just under a lot of
pressure.

How about a truce?

Let's just take it a day at a time.

Anything would be an improvement.

Right now, all I want to do is see
Joseph.

Okay. You go see Joseph.

I'll drive Angela home, come back, pick
you up. We'll spend some time together

alone.

Thanks.

It's going to be all right.

Lance told me.

Thanks for coming, but I can take care
of him.

Can you?

Yes, I'm his mother.

And I'm his father.

And I think you're doing a lousy job.

I'd like to be alone with my son.

Just make sure nothing else happens to
him.

Chase? Chase?

Well, I must have drifted off.

No sleeping on the job, Cass.

Sounds like Angela.

So how are you feeling?

Never felt better.

Never better.

I'll let you sleep, Cass.

You rest. We'll be back later.

Well, hello, Arthur.

Michael. Oh, I stopped by emergency.

You did some quick work on the Compson
child.

You would have been D .O .A. if you
hadn't been there.

Well, some things you don't forget.

Well, you seem to be forgetting quite a
bit.

What do you mean?

Michael, you are a doctor.

You have a very special talent.

And you are obligated to use that
talent.

I realize that.

That's why I do research.

Michael, I didn't believe you when you
told me that before, and I don't believe

it now.

Why don't you stop lying to yourself and
start saving lives?

Okay, doctor.

When you remember who you are, you come
and see me.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Michael?

Wouldn't it be easier to just face it?

It must be very comforting having
someone as preeminent as Dr. Ranson

You know, without men like that doing
research, I don't know what the rest of

us... Dr. Lantry, how is my husband
doing?

I'm afraid he's taking a turn for the
worse.

What is happening?

I thought he was going to... I know, I
know, but apparently the bullet is

causing an infection. Now, I've ordered
a complete set of x -rays and a blood

workup. If we can arrest the infection
at this point, there should be no major

damage. And if you can't?

Well, then our only other choice is to
operate.

But you will explore all other
possibilities before you... Oh, yes,

absolutely.

I'll keep you posted. Okay.

Cole?

Your mother said I might find you up
here.

I hope I'm not intruding.

No.

I know this is a terrible time for you.
Is there something I can do to help?

I'm okay.

Cole, please, don't shut me out of your
life.

You know, from up here, all you can see
is Falcon Crest.

Some of the finest vineyards in the
world.

My father's given up everything for
that, Linda.

I can't let him down.

Nobody's asking you to.

Just let me help.

I think I could fall in love with you.

Are you sure?

I wondered if you'd have the gall to
come out here after printing that.

I never wanted to hurt you.

This is all your mother's fault.

You see why you're in this place?

From everything you've said or done this
past year, I felt certain that what you

wanted most was to get back at your
mother.

The only thing I ever wanted to do was
to be a brother to you.

I could just hear Cain saying that to
his sister. Or did he just have Abel?

We're not a lot different, you and I.

And what if we are, Himmler? What does
that get us? I'm not sure, but together

we might accomplish a great deal more
than we will separately.

Do you really hate my mother as much as
I do?

Julia, no matter what you've done,
you're still my sister.

You can count on my help.

Do you mean to say that you'd help me
get out of here?

I'll try.

Yes.

Yes.

Together we would have real power.

Once I'm out of here, we could combine
forces and we could destroy Angela

Channing. And take over Falcon Crest.

Fascinating idea.

I always felt you would be the key to
the destruction of Angela Channing.

Now I'm certain about it.

Okay, John, thanks a lot. Got it.

I understand you've been talking to
Harris over at Arbor Vineyard.

That's right. I told him if he had any
agreements with Chase that Falcon Crest

would honor them. On whose authority?

On Chase's.

I'm representing him while he's in the
hospital.

Chase and I have a partnership
agreement, remember?

If either one of us becomes
incapacitated, the other retains full

No one else, Maggie. Just Chase or me.

Angela, Chase's condition is only
temporary.

Is it?

Well, until he returns to work, please
refer all business matters to me.

And you will, of course, honor his
commitment.

If it's in the best interest of Falcon
Crest, certainly. Chase has always acted

in the best interest of Falcon Crest.
Well, that's your opinion.

But it's my business.

Now, the only business you have right
now is to help Chase recover.

So why don't you just stick to that?

You were very lucky.

I know we were.

Thank you for everything, Doctor. It's
okay.

Alyssa.

When I examined you yesterday, I
suspected there was more to your

met the eye.

Is there?

Mm -hmm.

Young lady, you are pregnant.

That's not possible.

No. Babies are the most possible thing I
know.

And with any luck, it'll be a girl.

Oh, by the way.

Give my congratulations to Lance. Okay.

Bye -bye.

Bye -bye.

Chase?

I, uh, brought some reading material.

I'm sorry about everything that's
happened.

I know that you and I have had our
differences.

But you certainly must realize by now
that it wasn't me who was trying to kill

you. Did you go to the funeral?

Yes. In a manner of speaking, I was
there. I couldn't watch them put the

into the ground.

Is there a marker?

Yes. It's lovely. I'll take you out
there someday.

How brotherly of you.

I think I'll get it together and go out
by myself.

Chase, I never wanted anything like this
to happen to you.

What do you want?

What I can no longer have now that my
mother, our mother, is gone.

Don't expect me to believe you really
cared for her.

I did.

I tried, but...

She always managed to keep me at arm's
length.

Or was it the other way around?

I may not have known her as well as you,
that's true. But she was my mother,

too.

And I loved her.

That's it, isn't it?

It's the bottom line between you and me.

You were jealous of my having the mother
you never had.

Mr. Giaberti.

Let's have a look at you today.

I'm afraid your visitors will have to
leave.

I was just going.

Be back, okay?

So, how are you feeling today?

Oh, I feel like a million dollars.

Lead washers.

Well, I think we can fix that.

Michael Ranson?

Yes, sir. What can I do for you? My name
is John Osborne. I represent the estate

of Jacqueline Perrault. I'd like to talk
to you for a moment.

All right.

Afraid a moment's all I've got.

Then I'll come right to the point.

You've been named executor of Mrs.
Perrault's estate.

I have?

I hardly knew her.

She was your mother's sister. I know,
but I haven't seen her in years. It's

curious she would choose me.

There's no mistake. I helped her draw up
the will.

All your expenses will be covered, of
course, and there'll be a substantial

for your services. Well, money's no
consideration. I just, uh... Well, then

what's the problem, Dr. Ranson? Well,
I... There's no problem if that's what

aunt wanted.

It is, I assure you.

All right.

What do we do now? Well, it's a 30 -day
waiting period before we can open the

will.

Here's my card, and I'll be in touch.

You're almost as much of a workaholic as
I am.

Well, that's why you hired me.

You play as hard as you work?

Oh, yes.

Never at the same time.

Come in, Erickson.

Good evening, Richard.

Philip.

And this must be Miss Lynch.

That's right. My new executive
assistant.

It's a pleasure.

Do you always come up the back way?

We must allow Mr.

Erickson certain eccentricities.

That'll be all, Pamela.

So, what was so important that you
couldn't tell me on the phone?

I thought you might be interested in
this.

Corner's report on my mother's death?

Why give me this? I was there. I saw her
die.

If you examine the autopsy report
carefully...

You'll see that your mother was dying of
cancer.

Then she wasn't lying.

Did you know that she only had six
months left to live?

No.

I mean, not specifically.

She was trying to tell me something, and
Diana Hunter told me that she was

seriously ill.

I think you should know, Richard, from
where I stood that afternoon at

as Julia began to fire...

Jacqueline stepped directly in front of
you

Hi

Where

have you been?

I went to visit my mother today You've
been gone all day

I just, I've been driving around just
trying to sort things out.

Did you?

You know, everything that she did,
everything that we all do, my

still has this incredible power over all
of our actions.

She never lets go, does she?

No.

Another reason I don't want her to have
any influence over our children.

You know, she's already got plans for
Joseph.

Then our next child will be different.

I'll never let her near it.

Are you in the mood for baby -making?

We already have.

What?

I'm pregnant.

Oh, baby.

I'm so happy.

You know, this is just the kind of news
my mother needs right now. Something to

cheer her up. It would mean so much to
her if you would tell her yourself.

No.

She killed my father.

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. I'll tell her myself.

Where are you taking us?

Intensive care.

Chase's condition has deteriorated a
bit.

Dr. Landry wanted to return him to
intensive care just as a precaution. Why

didn't he let me know?

I'm sure they intended to.

So, how would you like me to buy you a
cup of the world's worst coffee?

No, I'd feel better if you were handling
Chase's case.

They're giving him the best of care,
Meg.

Putting him into intensive care should
tell us that.

Yeah, well, you would at least have told
me you were putting him into intensive

care and not just... I'm sure Dr.

Lantry didn't ignore you intentionally,
Maggie.

Michael.

Michael, I am asking you to take over
Chase's case. You can't do that, Maggie.

You are wasting an enormous talent.

I saw you the other day with Joseph. You
were... Well, that was... That was

different, Maggie. That was an
emergency. Besides, I care too much for

A doctor's supposed to be objective.

Come on, you have more than mere
objectivity. You have compassion.

You care about people. That's what a
doctor really means. Well, then what are

you going to do about it?

Pretend that you don't care?

Isolate yourself in research somewhere
where you can hide from the truth, where

you can ignore the real reason that you
have given up?

That's pretty strong.

But I hate to see you wasting everything
you are simply because you are

frightened.

Oh, I see my ace troubleshooters working
overtime.

We don't mind.

Who's we?

George and I.

George is my new computer.

We're analyzing the leading newspapers
in the country to find out what makes

people buy them.

I see. And George will come up with the
answer?

Of course. We're a team.

Do you think he might tell me?

No.

But I will.

It's my job.

I'll be waiting.

Mother may have cornered all the grapes
in the valley, but by the time I'm

finished, you will have cornered all the
readers.

What grapes?

This year's harvest.

Mother was talking about it with Lance
as we were leaving the hospital.

Something about getting the growers back
in line.

Oh, really?

Well, I'm sure if that's what Angela
wants, that's what will happen.

Good night, Emma.

Can't tell.

Oh,

my goodness.

Thank you very much.

One of the things I admire most about
you, besides the obvious, is your

unabashed desire to carry on our affair
in such a public place.

No risk, no excitement.

Don't you get enough of that at home?

If I did, I wouldn't be here.

Besides... Lance is so involved with his
mother right now.

I didn't think he cared about his
mother.

Neither did I.

But now he even wants me to go and visit
her.

Can you imagine that?

After she killed my father?

Maybe you should.

I never know when you're serious.

Melissa, don't you see?

Julia's close to the edge.

She trusts me.

And as devious as you are, I'm sure you
can get her to trust you as well.

How? Give her the one thing she needs,
desperately.

Forgiveness.

Forgive her and she'll do whatever you
want.

Good morning, Eliza. Good morning.
Blueberry pancakes?

Just some juice and coffee, please.

You're often running early this morning.
I have lots of errands today.

Well, I don't have much to do. Perhaps I
could help you.

I have to go into San Francisco.

I've been meaning to talk to you about
your trips to San Francisco.

Have you?

Yes, I could have sworn that I saw you
outside the New Globe with Richard

Channing.

I'm afraid you must be mistaken, Angela.

That's what I thought when I saw that
girl kiss him.

Kelly?

What would you like for breakfast, Max?

This morning I think champagne is in
order.

Good morning, Grandmother.

Champagne? What for?

Because we're celebrating.

Melissa's pregnant.

Well, congratulations.

Thank you, Angela.

You weren't this excited when Melissa
announced her first pregnancy.

Yes, I know. It's taken some time to get
used to the idea of being a father, but

I wouldn't give Joseph up for anything
now.

Two children are very nice.

Yes, there'll be four of us soon,
Angela.

Hey, Mr. Caproni.

It's Lenin.

Not to you.

Thanks.

I'll see for myself.

I said she wasn't here.

No.

You said she wasn't in for me.

I'd like to let her make that decision.

She's my daughter.

She does what she's told.

What is it with you?

What have you got against me?

You're a user. You and everyone else up
at Falcon Crest.

You think the entire valley is at your
disposal, that you can take anything you

want.

You don't take my daughter.

Come on, Mr. Caproni, you're being
unfair.

Cole.

What's going on here?

You go back inside.

You got the message.

Dad, Cole and I are friends.

You find another friend.

It's okay.

Look, I've tried to be open with you,
and I don't want to go sneaking around

behind your back.

But I won't stop seeing you.

Are you awake?

Chase, it's me, Emma.

How did you get in here?

It was easy.

You know, they sell all these surgical
clothes in the poshest department stores

now.

Personally, I think they're rather
tacky, but it did the trick.

You're amazing.

They wouldn't let anybody into intensive
care, but I had to see you.

What's the matter?

Remember when I went to Houston?

And everybody doubted me except for you.

And because you believed in me, I
believed in myself.

I wanted to do the same thing for you.

A little moral support, huh?

Chase, you're not alone in this.

You just have to concentrate on getting
out of here.

At the rate I'm going, I may never make
it out of here.

Don't say that.

We're all counting on you.

Excuse me.

Doctor?

Are you the nurse on duty here?

Why, yes.

Please make sure that Mr.

Gioberti is kept as comfortable as
possible.

Of course.

I'll check back with you later.

I wasn't sure I'd be able to face you.

I know.

I wasn't sure I could come.

I wanted to tell you that Lance and I
are expecting another baby.

Oh, Melissa.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Julia, what's wrong?

I thought she'd be happy about it.

Don't you see?

You're going to be having a baby.

My grandchild.

And I'll never be able to hold it or
love it or watch it grow up.

I hadn't thought about that.

So much has happened.

You must despise me.

Julia, what happened between you and my
father?

I loved him.

Then why did you kill him?

Because I knew I could never have him.

Once he threatened to expose our affair
to the world, my mother would never have

tolerated that.

So I had to keep our affair secret.

No one suspected.

Not even you.

Carlo had other women.

He used them like wine to satisfy his
pleasures.

I had to do something to show him how
much he'd hurt me.

And so I bought a gun.

And I went up there, planning to use it
on myself.

And I was afraid.

If I shot him, someone would hear.

And so I needed a scapegoat.

And I thought of Cole.

I knew that Cole would come if he
thought that you needed him.

And everyone knew about Cole's temper.

And they'd all think that he did it.

Then you and Lance...

would have Falcon Crest.

Carla would never be able to hurt anyone
again.

It all seemed so easy, so right.

Oh, can you ever forgive me?

He really did love you, you know.

Oh, we just used me.

That's not true.

My father was a strong person, just like
Angela. Used to get in his own way. But

he cared deeply for you. He told me.

He did?

Yes.

That's why I can't turn my back on you
now.

Do you mean that...

Forgive me.

My father is dead.

What good would it do us who are still
living to hate each other?

I just came by to offer my
congratulations.

Really? For what? For stealing this
year's harvest while I was unavoidably

detained in New York. I didn't steal
anything.

I negotiated for those crops and good...
My crops.

Wrong! You didn't pay for them, so you
didn't get them.

I outbid you.

Just because you made promises that you
couldn't keep is of no concern to me. My

ability to fulfill my agreements with
those growers was beyond doubt until you

gave them all the doubt they needed.

Those growers are businessmen, too. You
could not be found.

They had no choice but to find another
buyer.

They didn't have to look very far, did
they?

I always stand ready to help my
neighbors.

Oh, yes.

Help to plow them under by frightening
them into selling to Falcon Crest.

To their advantage in the long run. In
the long run.

This may be the most foolish thing
you've ever done.

Richard.

Don't be a poor loser.

Oh, I haven't lost yet.

I saw your mother.

What made you change your mind?

Don't act so surprised.

I do have a heart. Well, wait a second,
Melissa. How was she?

Julia never looked better.

Did someone mention Julia?

Yes. I went to see her this afternoon at
Lance's request. I thought the good

news about the baby may cheer her up.

Well, did it?

Oh, absolutely.

When I go to see her, she won't even
speak to me.

Oh, really?

I wonder what you're doing wrong.

Would you mind waiting outside, please?

He's worse than me.

Let's see how he does tonight. If he
doesn't improve, I'll operate in the

morning.

Can we risk that? Dr. Ranson said it was
an extremely dangerous operation.

Mrs. Giaberti, I want you to understand
something.

I have nothing but the utmost respect
for Michael Ranson. He used to be one of

the country's most important
neurosurgeons. He's even written books

subject. But do you realize that he has
not consulted on patient care, much less

handled one in several years? He is
still an excellent doctor.

Yes, I agree with you, he is.

But he is out of touch.

I am telling you.

I won't do anything without talking to
you about it first.

All right?

Darling.

Don't leave me.

Jesus, I'm not going to leave you.

I'm right here.

Did

we

get up this early to feed the pigeons?

It's you I should be feeding to the
pigeons.

I beg your pardon.

Why didn't you tell me Angela Channing
bought up the valley's entire harvest?

It's impossible.

You outbid her across the board. Yeah.

Obviously, she got the growers to renege
while you weren't looking.

I don't pay you to sleep on the job.

I'm afraid Angela doesn't always tell
her left hand what her right hand is

doing. Then you're not of much use to
me, are you?

Look, I need something to bring Angela
to her knees.

Did you have anything specific in mind?

I'm not the one who's privy to her every
thought and deed.

I'll see what I can do.

They can't do anything without your
consent, anyway. Well, Dr. Lanza said he

might want to operate. Not very likely.
First, he'd want to knock out the

infection with antibiotics.

I don't know what to do, Michael. You
want to call in another specialist?

Are you offering?

No, I can't make it.

Michael, I'm only asking you for a
second opinion, please.

All right.

But no matter how much I like that guest
house of yours, I'm leaving as soon as

Chase is out of the woods, okay?

Chase is not here. And with him gone, I
got to do his job and my job, too. And

Cole, Cole is no help.

I ran Falcon Crest before you, Chase, or
Cole were around.

Now, no more excuses. Just do it.

Mr. Erickson to see you, Miss Channing.
I understand you've been a busy boy,

buying up all the grapes in the valley.

Yes, on my orders.

You're at it again. Another end run.

How am I supposed to protect you if you
don't keep me fully informed?

I'm supposed to handle all contracts at
Falcon Crest.

Oh, don't be so sensitive, Philip. You
do.

Here, read these.

That's just what I'm talking about. It's
a little late for this, isn't it?

Philip, after you read the contracts,
you'll see that it's never too late.

That's not my point.

I should have drafted these.

I need you to devote all of your time to
Julia.

And I suppose that's why I'm spending
half my time trying to get the court to

appoint you conservator of Falcon Crest
in Chase's absence.

Has the judge set the date yet?

I'm working on it.

Well, work harder.

Okay.

All right, cuz, tell me, do you still
feel this?

What does that mean?

For one thing, you're not ticklish.

Excuse me, Dr. Anson. I wonder if I may
speak with you and Mrs. Giverty outside

in the hall a moment? If it concerns me,
I'd like to hear it.

All right.

Dr. Landry here is concerned about your
questioning his judgment.

I don't mind a second opinion on this
case, but Mr.

Giverty is my patient until I'm told
otherwise.

He is my patient, and he is my
responsibility.

Dr. Landry, I think we're all aware of
that.

Am I the doctor on this case?

Yes, of course.

I simply asked Michael for a second
opinion, and he said we should wait.

know what Dr. Ransom feels, and I
believe the bullet should be removed

If the patient has a raging infection,
doctor, I simply suggest that you at

least consider the possibility of
increasing his antibiotics, that's all.

Mr. Giaberti, would you be willing to
risk your life? Because if you wait,

that's what you'd be doing.

If Michael says so, I'm willing to take
a chance.

Look, doctors, my only concern is time.
If we fail to operate soon, we may as

well not operate at all.

Unless Dr. Ransom can find a reason to
postpone, then we'll proceed with the

operation. It's not a matter of
postponement, Arthur. It's a matter of

risk.

Am I to understand that you're going to
take this case, Dr.

Ransom?

No, I just want you to look at the x
-rays more closely, that's all.

Michael, why don't you examine the x
-rays?

How's the patient?

He's got a spiking fever. We're going to
have to operate.

Well, that sounds like a period of
recuperation, which means that he won't

able to make a court appearance in
several weeks.

You know, it's very hard to predict how
a case like this will turn out.

What do you mean?

Well, I mean his condition is very
grave.

He might take a turn for the worse.

You mean Chase might die?

He might, if that's what you want.

But that's not what I want.

I just wanted him declared incompetent.

Look, Mrs. Channing, when you forced me
to sign that affidavit, you left me no

choice. I have to cover my track.

Well, I'll destroy the affidavit, but,
Doctor, please, don't kill him.

It may be too late for that.

What you're suggesting is murder.

That's right.

And you're in this with me.
