Francesca disappeared last night. Oh,
she'll be back. We have a firm

Francesca's contract is missing from the
statement.

That's impossible.

Tomorrow afternoon, Francesca's going to
show up in court to claim her share of

the estate. And without that contract,
there's nothing anybody can do to stop

her keeping it.

I've already reviewed the pertinent
documents, and I'm prepared to make a

ruling.

Good morning.

What time were you up?

4 .30.

4 .30?

Something wrong?

No, I just couldn't sleep. I kept
thinking, you know, how that goes. I

get up and go through that FAA file
again.

Why?

They cleared you?

Angela got off scot -free. She purged
herself. She influenced the witness. I'm

not going to let her get away with it.

Honey, look, you said it yourself. It's
just, uh, what, circumstantial evidence,

right? Be that as it may, I'm turning
all my notes over to the U .S.

Office. I don't think they'll have any
problem making an indictable case out of

it.

Angela certainly deserves it.

Francesca?

She said she was ashamed to be part of
this family because of all the fighting.

I know how she feels.

Francesca is angry because Angela was
using her.

And she'll go on using people as long as
she can get away with it. That's my

point. I know that. But we are losing
sight of the reason that we came here in

the first place. It was to start... It
was to start over again. I know, I know,

I know. But we'll never be able to live
in peace as long as Angela keeps

fighting us.

Then we'll never have that.

Period.

She is sedated.

She has no idea where she is.

Or whom she's with, I trust.

Well done.

What are you going to do with her?

I want her to think that Angela Channing
was behind her kidnapping.

Then, when the time is right, I shall
step in and rescue her.

Move Lot 6 into the storage tank and
have the bottling crew standing by.

You're very authoritative when you want
to be.

A little too authoritative. Lot 6 needs
to stay in the barrels another month.

Well, that is your opinion.

Well, until you and Francesca conclude
your little arrangement, I'm still half

owner of Fountaincrest.

Well, I talked to Judge Stevens this
morning. He's reviewing the codicil of

father's will.

And by the end of the week, you are
going to be a minority shareholder

here. Don't count on it.

Francesca may surprise you.

She's not as gullible as you think.

We have a firm agreement.

And when she's awarded her fair share of
falcon crest, I'm going to buy it back

from her. Mother is forgetting to tell
you that Francesca disappeared last

night. Oh, she'll be back. She wouldn't
miss this opportunity.

And she certainly wouldn't dare to pass
up a chance to sell to you, right?

She needs the money.

I don't think she cares who she sells it
to.

That's obvious.

Eight high flush.

Oh, now.

Thank you very much, gentlemen.

It has been a very profitable afternoon.

Good security, men. No card sent.

Poker is illegal in this county,
especially at racetracks. My dear

enough preaching from my dear brother. I
don't need it from you. Besides, what

was I supposed to do? Pace up and down
until you got back?

Well, tell me.

Well, I didn't find anything.

It's as if she disappeared off the face
of this earth.

She's around here somewhere.

Perhaps she went back to Italy.

No, there's too much at stake.

Have you checked the Tate Hotel?

No, I haven't. Then do.

You expect me to go back there?

After all that happened?

Relive those memories, Richard?

How about that? I cleaned them out. $4
.58.

I am delighted for you. I am thrilled to
know that everything that has happened

between us means so little to you.
Pamela, I did not ask you to move out.

made that choice.

You can also choose whether or not you
want to keep your job.

What else am I going to do, huh?

Run back to Spirits?

Work for the CIA?

I mean, with my background, there are
very few options open, Richard.

All right, then.

Francesca is the new heir to Falcon
Crest.

I want you to find her.

Check the tape.

If she's there, call me.

Can I get anybody anything else? No,
thank you. The champagne chicken is

delicious. You'll have to give me a
recipe sometime.

Well, when you decide to warm up your
oven, let us know.

I'll evacuate the area.

Then you better evacuate while you have
the chance because my oven is always

warm.

No, no, ladies, let's all try to get
along this evening. I know it may be

difficult, but it would mean a great
deal to me.

Has anyone heard about Francesca?

I spoke to Emma this afternoon. She
hadn't heard anything.

I talked to my lawyer. He said that the
codicil to Jasper's will was binding.

Doesn't seem there's any way we can...
Keep Francesca from inheriting a third

Falcon Crest.

Well, now, if Francesca tells to Angela,
you'll be out in the cold, won't you?

That would give Angela controlling
interest.

And I'm afraid that would see the end of
my involvement with the operations of

the outfit.

You could always go into business for
yourself.

How? Angela shut us out of the winery,
and we don't even have a distributor.

You can rent winery space, and you
shouldn't have any problem lining up a

distributor if you control the finest
harvest in the valley.

Yours?

If you're interested, I would love to
make a deal with you.

Oh, for the sake of our good family
relations, of course. Of course.

I'm interested.

Good.

We'll draw up the contracts tomorrow.

Oh.

Help me.

Help me some.

Please. Hello, Mrs. Compton.

It's time for your medicine.

Where am I?

Brookside Hospital.

They brought you in last night.

There you go.

Just swallow those. No, no.

Now, that's not very smart. This
medicine will help you sleep.

I don't want to sleep.

I don't want any medicine. Where's
Lucas?

Didn't they tell you?

They arrested him for harboring a felon.

Please take them off. For your own
protection. No! No!

Maybe you'd like to watch some
television.

Now, you call me if you change your mind
about the pills. No, don't go! Please

don't go!

Acting on a tip from Falcon Crest co
-owner Angela Channing, authorities

converged on the small Central Valley
community of Kellogg and arrested a

murderer long thought to be dead.

Julia Compton, Mrs. Channing's daughter,
was taken into custody outside a

Kellogg hardware store.

Mrs. Compson was sentenced to life in
prison a year ago for crimes ranging

from... No!

No!

How could you do that to me?

Calm down.

Well done.

The fake news card is a particularly
nice touch.

Lance?

Where are you off to in such a hurry?
I've got a date. Hard to believe, isn't

it? With Terry, I hope.

Uh, no.

No, I think you're more interested in
Terry than I am. As a matter of fact,

don't you call her? Have a drink with
her later. I understand that you've

quite a fancy to Richard's little
stepdaughter.

You know, I have a lot of friends in the
valley, and you haven't done anything

to hide your affection for her.

Good night, Grandma.

That is one relationship that I won't
abide.

That's your problem.

Angela, Francesca's contract is missing
from the safe.

That's impossible.

I'm afraid not. Someone must have given
her the combination.

Don't look at me.

Look, Lance, this is serious.

Tomorrow afternoon, Francesca's going to
show up in court to claim her share of

the estate. Now, without that contract,
there's nothing anybody can do to stop

her keeping it.

Or from selling to Chase, precisely.

So, well...

Thank you very much. I had a wonderful
time. Well, we had a wonderful time,

Could you do me a little favor? Could
you maybe give Melissa the benefit of

doubt? Because I think maybe she's
really trying.

She'll blow it.

Bye.

I don't like being kept waiting.

You were supposed to meet at your place
an hour ago. How did you know I was

here?

I like to keep track of my meal ticket.

You got the money?

Sorry, I couldn't make it to the bank
today.

I warned you. It was going to happen if
you didn't come through.

I owe it to bad people.

I hope they don't hurt you.

You're the one that's going to get hurt.

If you remember anything else, be sure
and give us a call.

Haven't been very helpful, have I?

Ordinarily, I'd have you sit down with a
sketch artist, but if you can't even

remember what the guy looks like, it
wouldn't do us much good, would it?

It just happened so fast.

Honey, you sure I can't call a doctor
for you? No, Meg, I'm fine, really.

Sheriff, we've been all over those
vineyards.

He's long gone. All right, wait in the
car.

Chase, I'm sorry. I think we are fresh
out of possibilities.

That's a damn racetrack. I knew it. I
knew it was going to happen. Ever since

that thing opened, the crime rate's just
gone up and up and up. Well, you won't

get any argument about that from me.

Well, the element Richard's brought in
with the influences surrounding him, I

think it should be shut down. I'm going
to bring it up before the Board of

Supervisors in the morning.

Either put him out of business or get a
bigger budget for my department.

I'll see you later.

All right.

If you're going to carry that handgun,
get yourself a permit.

When did you get the gun?

After you were attacked.

That's not always a safe thing to do.

That's another reason for cutting it
down. Maybe the people of this valley

feel the need to arm themselves to the
teeth.

The thing I miss most about Falcon Crest
is sitting on the veranda at the crack

of dawn, having a cup of coffee, and
looking out over the vineyards.

The house hasn't been the same without
you, Melissa.

Oh, I'll be back someday.

That's why I stopped by. I'm curious as
to your plans regarding Francesca.

My plans regarding Francesca are really
none of your business.

Oh, I think they are.

I'm your heir.

If you buy her share of the estate, it
seems I would inherit even more.

Well, a lot can change between now and
then.

A lot already has.

I'm very close to call now.

I don't want him or his family hurt by
any of this.

That's why I've agreed to sell Chase my
harvest.

If you two will excuse me, I have some
shopping to do.

I don't have anything in my closet
that's quite right for an afternoon in

Listen.

How firm is your deal with Chase?

Irrevocable.

I'm sorry, Angela.

Not half as sorry as you're going to be.

I'll see you soon.

We still have a racehorse to train.

I want her out of my will.

It's not going to be easy.

After all, you drew up a written
contract promising that she'd be the

beneficiary. You're the attorney. Find a
way to cut her out.

On the 21st of last month, an editorial
was published in the New Globe about the

increase in crime in the Tuscany Valley
since your racetrack opened. Are you

familiar with the editorial?

Yes.

I even read it.

What's your opinion of this editorial,
Mr. Channing?

I didn't think it was very well written.

The editorial contains some serious
allegations.

That your racetrack has attracted a
criminal element, that's hardly material

humor. Allegations, Chase, not proof.
This is a small community. It could be a

one -man crime wave.

Look at the statistics.

The overall incidence of crime has risen
32 % since Tuscany Downs held its first

race. Auto theft, up.

Burglaries and assaults, up.

Murders, up.

Now, John, even you can't attribute all
of this to a one -man crime wave. Look.

I'll be the first to admit that those
figures are frightening, but I still

see the connection between Tuscany Downs
and the crime rate.

Well, maybe you can't see the connection
from your table in the turf club, but

for the rest of us, it's all too clear.

I'm no more responsible for the people
who come to my racetrack than you are

the drivers who get drunk on your wine
and then kill people on the highway.

That's a good point, Richard.

In my opinion, this valley is more a
victim of the times than anything else.

Is your opinion based on fact, John?

Or because Richard Channing has been a
very public supporter of yours?

Campaign contributions, testimonial
dinners. I don't have to listen to that

of talk, Jabari, gentlemen.

Please.

Chase, that was uncalled for.

I just want to remind my fellow board
members that this is an election year,

unless we do something to bring the
crime problem in the Tuscany Valley

control, we're going to be voted out.

I move that an impact study on the
possible revocation of Mr. Channing's

to operate Tuscany Downs be prepared
by... Ms. Brixey?

This board can review it at its next
regularly scheduled meeting.

I second it.

Those in favor?

Motion passes.

This meeting is adjourned.

It's nice of you to have me over, Terry
girl.

It's just too bad I'm not a better shot.

Hello, Richard.

Hello, Terry.

Hate to interrupt you. You look so
comfortable there.

I understand there was some trouble at
Chase's last night.

Word gets around, doesn't it?

In this valley, it does.

Drink? No, thanks.

Who's that?

Hmm? If I knew that, I would have told
the sheriff.

Oh, I don't think so.

I would bet you're hiding something.

And I sure would like to know what.

Because it is about to cost me my
racetrack.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, why don't I tell you?

Your dear brother -in -law got on his
high horse after that little stunt in

front yard last night.

And he's got his band of supervisors on
the warpath.

Who's threatening you, Terry?

I want him.

I've got to make an example out of him.

Honestly, Richard, you're jumping to the
wrong conclusion.

I don't have any idea who that man was.

Terry Ranson, don't give me that
nonsense.

Last week you thought you heard noises
and you pulled a gun on me.

I can help you, but I need the truth.

I'll keep that in mind.

But obviously I can take care of myself.

Yeah.

If you're protecting somebody, I'll find
out who it is.

And then I'll have to hang both of you
out to dry. And I don't want to do that.

I'll let you get back to the sun.

Don't get too much, though.

It dries the skin.

Makes you old fast.

You did all right.

Do you have any idea who that man was?

Richard Channing. Rich, powerful.

You run with a hot crowd. I'm proud of
you.

He could squash you like a fly.

Me too.

I'm a lot more afraid of him than I am
of you.

Don't worry about it.

I've got the answer to all your
problems.

You're leaving town.

We're going to have a wedding.

We'll pretend that we just met.

That it was love at first sight. You're
out of your mind.

Hey, we're already married anyway.

This way you wouldn't have to live a
lie.

I'd rather be dead.

Let me know when you set the date.

Channing resident?

Who's calling, please?

I'm sorry, but you'll have to identify
yourself.

I'll handle this.

Hello. Hi, it's me.

That's what I figured. The guards have
been told to do a better job of

the calls. I think Richard's on to us.

Yeah, I think my grandmother is too.

Looks like the only people we're making
happy is us.

Where can I pick you up?

Out by the gate will be fine.

Oh, and you have to tell me all about
what happens in court today.

Okay, I will. I promise.

I'll see you later.

Okay, bye.

That's my dear brother for you.

Well, there's nothing he'd like better,
you know, to drive me out of the county,

out of the state, out of the country.
All right.

Where have you been?

I've been sitting at the Tate Hotel
since early this morning. And?

Sitting by the window of suite 2460.

Very good view of the Golden Gate Bridge
and of Fisherman's Wharf. Pamela.

And of the bed.

I'm very sorry I put you through that.
Was she there?

Oh, she showed up an hour ago.

Oh, but don't get your hopes up.

She wouldn't come with me.

Of course she's not going to come with
you.

Pamela, I didn't want you to talk to
her.

Why didn't you call me? Because she's on
her way to court. Court?

I forgot all about court.

Come on, let's go. This is one spectacle
I'm not going to miss.

I don't see Francesca any, but... Well,
with luck, she's already in Rome.

All rise.

The Honorable Judge Roberta Stephens
presiding.

Be seated.

The estate of Jasper Giaberti deceased.

Will the parties approach the bench?

Mrs. Channing, are you represented by
counsel?

Mr. Gioberti?

And Francesca Gioberti, where is she?

I'm right here, Your Honor.

And this is my attorney, Mr. Andrew.

Your Honor, I move for a postponement of
these proceedings. My client...

I'm sorry, Consular, but this is a
holographic will.

There isn't much to contest, is there?

I've already reviewed the pertinent
documents and I'm prepared to make a

There is no more binding legal document
in the state of California than a

handwritten will.

It certainly would have facilitated
matters had this codicil come to light

the original probate hearing.

Nevertheless, I am compelled to rule in
favor of Francesca Gioberti

and to order the immediate
redistribution of the Falcon Crest

lands, buildings, and all other assets
to accommodate the wishes of Jasper

Gioberti.

The hearing is concluded.

Your Honor, you know that I'm going to
appeal this.

Mrs. Channing, I advise you to check
with your consul before you proceed.

You'd be wasting your time.

I'm afraid she's right, Angela.

Since now I am a co -owner of Falcon
Crest, I'll be staying with you tonight,

sister. You will honor your agreement,
won't you?

What? Agreement.

I'll see you at the house.

By the way, I'm going back to Italy
Wednesday evening.

Any of you who are interested in
acquiring my share of the estate should

Falcon Crest Wednesday at 4 sharp.

We'll be accepting sealed bids. Your
bids should be accompanied by cashier's

checks.

Francesca, would you excuse us a moment?

Francesca?

I'd like to talk to you.

We have nothing to discuss.

Now, you don't believe that any more
than I do.

Please.

So much for your ironclad agreement.

I shouldn't worry if I were you. I doubt
if Mrs. Channing will have any trouble

coming up with a very attractive offer.

Angela, shall we?

Sit down.

I've missed you.

You've been avoiding me.

Why?

I think you know the answer to that.

I was hoping you'd change your mind
about me by now.

I don't think I'm such a bad guy.

You are not such a good one either.

Oh, Francesca.

We've had a good time, you and I. I
don't want Falcon Crest to ruin that.

I'm tired of excuses and lies, Richard.

Bribery, torture, blackmail.

That's all anybody here knows how to do.

It must be something in the food.

Hey, I never lied to you.

I didn't lie to you when I told you I
wanted your land.

And I did not lie to you when I told you
I cared for you.

I have to leave.

Don't make things more difficult for me.

Let's not hurt each other anymore.

Not while we still have such good
memories left.

I'm not going to submit a bet.

I know you.

You could never resist.

I'll see you on Wednesday.

Good evening, Mrs. Compson.

Who's that?

This is Dr.

Walker, and he's going to be handling
your case.

Where is my mother? Why hasn't anyone
been to visit me? You'll be seeing your

mother soon enough.

I can't get her to take her medicine,
and she refuses to eat.

Keep monitoring her. It may become
necessary to put her on an IV.

How did my mother know that I was alive?

Apparently, you made several attempts at
contacting your younger sister. The

authorities were informed.

No! Emma wouldn't do that. Emma promised
me!

Sedate her.

Yes, Doctor.

She is convinced that she doesn't have a
friend in the world. She will soon

enough.

Francesca Gioberti, just call.

Have a cashier's check drawn for the
amount of $31 million.

You should have been quiet tonight.

I'm sorry, Lorraine.

I just got a lot of things on my mind.

Like you.

And Francesca and Richard.

What about Richard?

He's going to bid on Francesca's share
of the property.

Richard has his sights set on a lot of
things.

And we're one of them.

I just hope you don't let him put a stop
to us.

Hey, I make my own decisions.

Because I think I'm falling in love with
you.

Hello, Lance.

Terry? You know Lorraine? I know who she
is.

Maybe I should let you two talk.

No, you stay right where you are.

Look, uh, Terry and I really don't have
anything to discuss, do we, Terry?

No, I guess we don't.

You know, I feel sorry for you,
Lorraine.

You're asking for a lot more trouble
than he's worth.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

You know, given your reputation, I'm
surprised it doesn't happen more often.

That's cute.

Very cute.

Everything's secure. I'm going home, so
I'll see you in the morning.

You're welcome to stay, if you like.

No, thanks.

I don't enjoy being second choice.

Oh, Pomerant's called. He followed
Lorraine to Cyrano's.

She's with Lance Cumson.

He's not the only one assigned to look
out for her, is he?

No, of course not.

Her security is as important to me as my
own.

What time do you want me in the morning?

Eight o 'clock.

We've got a lot of work to do. We're
going to get a bid ready for Francesca.

What are you going to make a bid with?

We don't have enough equity in the
racetrack to get any financing, Richard.

know.

But I can't miss out on this
opportunity.

I'll get the money.

I don't care what I have to do, I'll get
it.

I'll see you in the morning.

Morning. Good morning, Angela.

My, you're up early.

I was hoping I could have breakfast with
you.

I couldn't wait.

I have a meeting with my lawyer.

Coffee, Miss Channing? Oh, yes. Thank
you, Charlie.

Well, how does it feel to be a part
owner of Falcon Crest?

I'm more attached to my lands in Italy.

And you can understand how attached I am
to all of this land.

Where I come from.

The Gibertis owns the vineyards
together.

We do not consider one person to be more
important than another.

You promised that you would sell your
share of falcon crest back to me.

I made a lot of promises before I
realized what kind of person you were.

How did you get into my safe and steal
the contract?

I must go now.

Make a bid.

I will consider your offer along with
all the rest.

These are grave allegations, Mr.
Gioberti.

Conspiracy, perjury. Yeah, and it's all
documented right here.

Angela Channing was bound and determined
to smear my reputation.

The FAA may be proceeding with its own
investigation.

I'll check with Mr.

Caldwell. You think you have a case?

Oh, we will, as soon as we locate the
mechanic who testified against you.

We'll threaten him with a jail term
unless he turns state's evidence.

Well, with all the money Angela gave
him, he may have a hard time finding

He's not a sophisticated criminal.

He shouldn't be too difficult to find.

Hi. Hi.

This is my wife Maggie, Brenda Jensen of
the U .S. Attorney's Office. Oh, nice

to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Thanks again. Thank you. I'll be in
touch.

Good luck.

Are you really going through with this,
huh? You bet.

Tony, I just wonder if you're not making
a mistake.

After all, you and Angela are still
partners.

She should have followed that before she
tried to frame me.

This bank isn't in the habit of handing
out $30 million loans.

Not when the loan in question is
essentially unsecured. My racetrack can

of the collateral.

Then when I buy into Falcon Crest, you
can secure the balance of the loan with

that property.

This bank provided the bulk of funds for
the construction of Tuscany Downs.

We're worried, Mr. Channing.

Very worried.

What about?

That racetrack is generating a gross
profit of over a million dollars a

We're meeting our payment schedule.

And you're about to be zoned out of
business.

The board of supervisors up there is
making some nasty noises about closing

down.

Mr. Warren, that is a minor aggravation.
I'll tie them up in court for a decade

if they try.

It's enough of a problem to keep me from
authorizing any further loans.

All right, fine.

You don't want to do business with me,
I'll find somebody else who will.

I'm sorry, Mr. Channing, but the word's
out.

You're a bad risk.

At least until this problem's cleared
up.

The word's out, huh?

I'll get a loan, Mr. Warren.

And I'll have it by four o 'clock
tomorrow afternoon.

Hello, Angela.

Carl Warren.

Richard Channing just left.

You don't have a thing to worry about.
I've been on the phone all morning.

There isn't a bank in the city that'll
help him.

You're welcome, Angela.

I spent all morning and half the
afternoon going from one end of the city

next and nothing, not a nibble.

Perhaps we can get Francesca to postpone
for a while.

I don't want her to. She's a little
desperate.

She wanted to get that money back the
end of the week.

Yeah, I did a little legwork of my own
this morning.

I found out that Chase has got a
substantial loan from your friend's

Yeah. Score one for Chase.

What do you mean?

Well, I think it's obvious that Ange has
been doing a little networking among

her friends in the financial community.

Maybe Chase knew, and that's why he went
out of town for his money.

You could do the same thing.

I've got a card I can play. You know who
Bill Tuttle is?

Yes, isn't he that hotshot lawyer of the
First Federated Bank? Yeah, he's also a

hotshot gambler, and he's got a half -a
-million -dollar debt, Cloverfield

Downs. I want you to go see this
gentleman at his track.

You buy Tuttle's note from him, and then
you bring me Mr.

Tuttle.

Okay.

Remember when we first came out here?

How confusing it was trying to figure
out where we fit into this valley.

All I had to go on was a childhood
memory.

Vineyards that stretched out to the end
of the world.

That big house my Aunt Angela lived in.

I used to think it was haunted.

You may have been right about that.

Frightened I was about us moving out
here.

Well, not just frightened. I wasn't sure
we could cut it because it was all so

alien to us.

You never said a word.

You didn't have to.

We worked so damn hard.

Too hard to have it all taken away by
some stranger who called herself a

of the family.

about how Angela felt about us all these
years.

You think we made a mistake coming out
here? If I had to do it all over again,

don't know, maybe I wouldn't.

Didn't think of all the fun we would
have missed.

I will tell you what a bizarre
collection of

relatives you have.

Never said a word.

I guess you didn't have to.

Mr.

Tuttle's here.

Glad you could make it, Tuttle.

Nice little layout you got here.

I've been curious about this place ever
since it opened.

Sorry we couldn't help you with the
loan, but if you ask me, I think you're

better off sticking to the horse racing
business anyway.

Are you a horse racing fan?

I know a little bit about it. Oh, excuse
me.

I want you to put a thousand on number
five to win and hurry. They're almost at

the post.

You like to play the long shots, don't
you? Oh, he always does.

Seems to be the banking community that
seems to insist on a sure thing.

I don't think that's true, Mr. Tuttle,
though. It takes a gambler's instinct to

be president of anything nowadays,
including a bank. They're off!

They're running.

It's Dale Salley going for the lead as
Dave Dent comes up quickly on the rails

to take the early advantage, followed by
Mr.

Alexander. Looks like your number five
doesn't stand much of a chance.

Already a couple of lengths behind the
pack. Oh, but that's Richard's kind of a

horse. It's a slow start, but a strong
finish.

What's your kind of horse, Tuttle?

Thank you, partner.

Whatever it is, I'd stay away from it in
the future. It's already cost you a

small fortune.

Oh, perhaps it's the racetrack. I mean,
Cloverfield hasn't been very kind to you

recently.

Perhaps you should try your luck here
sometime.

I played opponents.

Perfectly legal.

And it's none of your business.

Oh, it is now.

I just bought you a gambling debt.

You owe me a half a million dollars.
Terrible on demand.

You're not going to get away with this,
Jack. Why not?

Bankers get away with it all the time,
selling mortgages back and forth for

closing on people.

Turning down loan applications.

My main girl is coming hard.

Gal Kelly at stage ten.

That's my main girl from the outside,
forging for the front.

My main girl is the winner. Number
five's the winner.

Excuse me.

I'm calling in this note.

Unless you can find a way for your bank
to lend me the money I need today.

I may not end up with a third if I
confess, but I'll sure have a nice

place up on Knob Hill.

And if I do approve the loan?

Well, then you'll retire your debt in
record time.

Yes. Right on.

Jolie, put everything in the car,
please.

I'll be leaving as soon as we finish
here. Yes, Mr. Dibetti.

Good afternoon, Mr. Dibetti.

Is Francesca here?

Oh.

Jean -Louis.

I was afraid you weren't going to make
it.

It's an opportunity I wouldn't admit.

Sit down.

Uh, Francesca, what's... what's he doing
here?

He wanted to make a bid on my property.

How many others have you invited to this
auction?

Several people send their regrets.

Can we get on with it?

Absolutely. I'll take your bids now.

If you don't mind, I would like to use
your study for a few minutes.

Oh, no, no, please.

Feel free.

Our house is your house.

I wonder whose house it's going to be
next.

You know, Melissa, it surprises me that
you're not bidding on this.

Let's just say I'm here as an interested
observer.

I had no idea their property was worth
this much money.

Angela tried to buy it for me for
pennies when I first arrived.

But the lowest bid here is for $24
million.

The highest is $31.

That's only for one -third of the
estate.

My American cousins have done very well.

It looks like Mr.

DeBercy is going to be the new part
owner of Falcon Crest.

How much longer are they going to sit in
there?

Maybe they snuck out the back and took
all the checks with them.

Perhaps they're duplicate bids. They may
try to push the price even higher.

Mr. de Berthe, I was wondering how you
managed to wrangle an invitation to this

little party.

I've made no pretense about my desire to
acquire Falcon Crest.

My own property is far too limited.

What I'd like to know is where did you
find the money?

The whole world knows you're borrowed up
to your earlobes.

And we all know who the whole world's
source of information is, don't we,

Angela?

I had examined all your bids.

They were very generous.

Thank you.

I'll top any offer you've received.

You're very kind now.

Angela. However, it defeats the whole
point of asking for sealed bids.

Anyway, I have already made my decision.

I have given this much thought.

Chase and Angela are members of my own
family.

If I sell to Chase, then I destroyed
Angela.

If I sell to Angela, then I destroy
Chase.

And I do not want to hurt anybody.

Jean -Louis, you are a stranger to
Falcon Crest.

I'm sorry, I cannot sell it to you.

Richard?

It's all yours.

That is outrageous.

And I won't stand for it.

You have no choice, sister.

Thank you.
