If DeBercy did murder Sam, what's to
prevent him from doing the same thing to

any one of us?

I made my decision. Cole and I are
getting married.

Yeah, but you're not married yet.

I'm not going to give up until you are.

I don't like you, DeBercy. And I don't
want to see you around here anymore.

Now, hold on, brother. Keep your hands
off of me. And don't ever call me

again. Stop it, now, both of you. You
understand?

Right on time. Goodness.

Good morning.

I appreciate your promptness.

I want to welcome you all to the special
meeting of the Falcon Crest Board of

Directors. Do you mean to tell me I was
summonsed all the way out here so that I

could be put on display?

We all have been, Angela. Didn't you
read Richard's press release?

He's transporting his... bulk wine to
some warehouse for aging and bottling?

Sounds exciting.

It is to me.

Tell me something. What's the aging
period on this swill of yours? A week?

days?

If you think you can offend me, Chase,
you're wrong.

You should be grateful to me. All of you
should be. Here I thought I was going

to have to build a brand new winery.

Now I'm in business with rented and
leased equipment.

Which means a very small cash outlay for
the Falcon Crest Partners.

I will not be grateful as long as Falcon
Crest is involved in a rent -a -winery.

Would you stop that?

Now let's get on with it.

Let the ceremony begin.

Yes, Mrs. Winston, we'll talk it over,
and thank you for calling.

Really?

Okay. Bye.

Something wrong at the nursery?

Mrs. Winston and some of the teachers
are worried about Joseph.

Why?

Some of the kids have been teasing him
because we're not married.

Does he know what they're talking about?

Not yet.

I don't want him hurt.

We should set a date.

I want to believe me.

But I want to get married by the church.

I think it would be important for your
family and for Joseph.

I... I was hoping for a small wedding.

Well, Lord, you're small.

I still have to... to get my marriage to
Lance and not by the church.

How difficult will that be?

I don't know about the church, but
anything that involves Lance can be

difficult, especially if Angela gets
into it.

Make it go, Daddy.

Okay, come here.

Okay, come on. Okay, come on.

Okay. All right, there should be a
button here. Right there.

Why don't you just leave the writing to
the professionals?

What are you doing here? I don't give
interviews.

I, um...

I was wondering if your job offer might
still be open.

It's a little late.

I've replaced you, you know.

No, I know. I met the, um... Barracuda.
Barracuda at the courthouse, and then I

heard her on the radio.

What do you think?

You need me.

You still determined to clear Lance?

Richard, I want the truth.

If you could listen to this without a
prejudiced point of view, he deserves an

even break. That's all.

In that case, he'll hang himself.

Well, then, fine. Let him hang himself,
as long as it doesn't happen because the

news is slanted against him.

Chase sent you over here to spy on me?

He thinks I poisoned his champagne. He's
pretty hot about it. I bet he did.

Look, it would take a pretty sick mind
to think of putting poison in a bottle

champagne. And, I mean, I know you're
capable of a lot of terrible things, but

not that. Thank you.

I think.

However... If I do find out you had
anything to do with that little venture,

would have the sheriff over here so fast
you wouldn't know what hit you. I'm

sure you would.

Yes, the invitation still stands.

Welcome back.

Good. Thank you.

So do I still have the same office, or
is the... Barracuda.

Barracuda in there.

I fired her yesterday.

You fired... Oh, you dinker.

If you weren't holding my hand, I'd give
you the old one, too. I guess I better

hold the other one, too.

Richard, the police just called. Your
wine shipment has been hijacked.

Well, the driver didn't really see their
face with.

They had guns, but it didn't really hurt
him.

Well, a very gentlemanly job.

Did Chase say he was coming?

Yes, and Angela, too.

Mind you, they didn't seem very
enthusiastic when I called them.

This whole thing seems like the work of
an amateur.

Unless, of course, that's the way it's
supposed to seem.

Were you suggesting that the cartel did
it?

Who else?

What are you going to tell them?

Why not? He lost a million dollars'
worth of champagne.

Sheriff hasn't come up with any other
suspects.

Besides, Chase and Cole accused me of
planting that poison.

Oh, so now you're going to return the
favor.

Just watch this little performance.

I want to thank you for rushing right
over here. I knew you both would enjoy

this. Little disaster.

Well, that's a strange place to park a
truck. Or is that the way you age your

wine? Did somebody really drain the
tanks?

Good act, Chase.

You sound like you really don't know. I
don't.

But I do know how it feels to have a lot
of work and a great deal of wine go

down the drain.

Not meaning to make a joke, of course.
Well, don't worry. It isn't.

Maybe you've got more guts than I
thought.

I appreciate the compliment, but I
didn't have anything to do with dumping

wine. What about Cole?

What about him?

He was just as mad as you were the other
day in a winery, right, Angela?

Yes, he was pretty upset.

Now, wait a minute. Just keep Cole out
of this. Oh, now, the champagne was his

pet project, and he's a pretty hot
-tempered young man. As I recall now, he

once a suspect in a murder case.

Richard, you are out of your mind.

That's a cheap shot, even for you.

Now, hold on, brother.

We're going to talk this thing through.
Wait a minute.

Talk or not, keep your hands off of me,
and don't ever call me brother again.

Stop it, now, both of you. You
understand?

Lord, I've done it now.

Oh.

And I'll get blamed for ducking.

You could sue, of course, Angela. It's
clearly a case of aggravated assault.

Richard even admits hitting you.

It was Chase who ducked.

What did I tell you?

Oh, then we can sue them both.

Oh, Greg.

All right.

I think you ought to see a doctor.

Yes. You may feel all right, but you
never can tell about this kind of a

I grew up with a brother, remember?

Jason knocked me out once.

But I got him twice.

So you're going to ignore this?

For now.

There are more important things.

Now, did it ever occur to you that
somebody might be wanting to run us out

business? Why?

Perhaps it's time for the three of you
to work together for once.

Richard, what about the cartel and this
Riedman character?

Who is Riedman?

He was associated with our mother.

They organized an international cartel
after the Second World War.

Dear Jacqueline.

She never wasted an ounce of her
talents, did she?

I understand that Johan Riedman runs the
cartel from South America. Argentina, I

think. A little update on that.

Johan Riedman is dead.

His son Gustav is now running the
cartel.

So we're looking for a much younger man
than Johan.

How do you know all that, Chase?

You working for the government?

I'm not working against it.

Well, if the cartel is in the valley...

Why are they after Falcon Crest?

Power, wealth, legitimacy, all those.

You know, the only person who's been
trying to buy you out is de Bercy.

Well, I told you to check on his
background, and you said it was

Yeah, perhaps too spotless.

A man with that wealth must have got
some ghosts in his past.

I'll set up a surveillance on de Bercy's
place. That might tell us something.

Maybe we can get the sheriff to reopen
the investigation into the Giannini

murder. I don't think we should get
anyone else involved, Chase.

If we are dealing with the cartel, I
can't emphasize enough how careful we've

got to be.

Not just for our sakes, but our loved
ones as well.

I don't want any of us to forget that.

Hello?

Channing residence.

I was hoping it would be you, Emma.

This is Jean -Louis.

Oh, hi.

And how are things at Falcon Crest
today?

Well, did you hear that Richard's wine
truck has been hijacked?

No. He thinks that either Mother or
Chase did it. They are really going at

the living room.

I would hate to have partners who don't
trust me.

Mother doesn't trust anyone.

She doesn't have that reputation.

I was calling to see if I could see you
tomorrow.

Oh. Well, I did have a long luncheon
planned with Robert Redford, but I could

cancel.

Do that.

We'll have lunch at my yacht.

Say two o 'clock?

Aye, aye, Captain.

Our men did well with the truck?

Excellently. The three partners are now
at each other's throats.

I just wish they'd argue in Angela's
study, closer to my listening devices.

Taking over Falcon Crest should be quite
simple from now on.

And the treasure?

Mine.

And speaking of my treasures...

Well, thanks for coming by, Gil.

I thought she was all right, but I just
wanted to be sure.

Do it, Greg.

She's a great little whore. Thanks. See
you later. Ciao. Oh, Greg, is she all

right? I was so upset when I heard the
vet was here.

Well, there's nothing to worry about.
She's fine.

Just a little lady who upsets easily.

Oh, poor baby.

Is there anything I can do?

Yeah, well, we were just thinking of
changing her stall.

Yeah, I think this one will do fine. Why
don't you take this?

Break out the old stuff and start
spreading some new.

Oh.

Of course, if you'd rather not.

Oh, no, I want to help out with small
virtue as much as I can.

This is one lady who doesn't upset
easily.

Good. I think I'll bear that in mind.

Hi. And how is small virtue?

Well, the vet checked her out A -OK.

Oh, good.

My, what's that? A turkey in the straw?

Oh, my goodness me, it's only Terry.

Yes, she's helping us muck out now that
she's a full partner.

Well, how sweet of her.

Well, you ready to go?

I think I ought to change, Bert.

I think a shower's in order as well,
maybe. Oh, George.

Terry, George here will help put small
Bertie to bed when you're finished.

You're doing terrific.

Thanks very much.

Goodbye. Oh, come on, Jay. The charming
Jean -Louis de Belty?

Working for the cartel? I said we don't
know for sure.

He's been trying to buy into Falcon
Crest.

Sam Giannini was murdered.

Suddenly and inexplicably, his widow...

Sells out to Debussy.

And somebody from the outside is trying
to stir up more trouble between Angela

and Richard and myself.

I just find it so hard to believe.

I'm going to go something straight.

You ducked and Richard flattened Angela?

Damn, I wish I'd been there.

Who is it? Me, Emma.

Come in.

Terrific. Come on in. Thank you.

Oh, what a nice surprise.

Hi.

Something the matter?

Yes, it's Mother.

She's forbidden me to go out with Jean
-Louis.

He's wild about me, you know.

I'm sure she's just concerned for your
welfare.

Yeah, she probably has a very good
reason. Yes, her own reason, her own

interest. You know, I...

I came here because I thought you two
would be sympathetic. Doesn't anybody

that I have finally found somebody that
I can love?

Well, you know we care. You know, I just
can't take my mother's bullying

anymore. I am going to stand up to her
once and for all, and I'm going to do

what I please.

All right, Emma, come on. Honey, sit
down. No, no, no, no, no, no.

I am going to spend the day tomorrow on
Jean -Louis' yacht.

We don't know enough to tell her what we
really think.

Please.

It wouldn't make any difference anyway.

Where

have

you been?

What?

Very funny.

Hey!

Come back later.

You're in a good mood this morning.
Where were you last night and this

With Greg Reardon.

A night of relentless pleasure
unburdened by romantic love.

You should try it sometime.

No, thank you.

That disgusts me.

I know it does, as far as with Greg.

You know, it's a shame you no longer
trust me to spy on Reardon and Angela.

I hear that's what Terry's trying to do.

You should, uh... You'd never send a
girl to do a woman's job.

Here. Hold still, will you? Here.

I've got an assignment for you. Oh, yes?

I want you to watch over the DeBercy
estate.

Check on everyone who comes and goes and
try to be discreet.

What am I looking for? I don't know.

I've been told that Johan Riedman is
dead and his son is supposed to be

the operation.

It's just possible that DeBercy is
running the operation from here.

What, that oily little Frenchman? What
do you think about that?

Quite frankly, it scares the hell out of
me.

Despite all that charm.

Have you seen his eyes?

As cold as death.

Someday soon, I'll sail out of this
harbor and visit the most romantic ports

the world.

Acapulco, Rio, just the two of us.

Yes, let's do it soon.

I'm so happy.

I'm close to someone.

Someone who can share all my happy
times, sad times, and all my secrets.

I can't believe that you have secrets.

You're so delightfully open and frank
with everyone.

But I do have secrets.

Especially one that no one will believe.

Try me.

I saw my sister Julia not long ago.

She's alive.

She didn't die in the Spring House fire,
but Mother and Lance won't believe me.

If you saw her, she is alive.

But surviving the fire is a true
miracle.

Not if you know about the tunnels.

Tunnels? And what are they, pray tell?

In the old days, all wineries had
storage rooms dug deep into the hills.

Some still use them. They had hired
Chinese labor gangs to do the digging.

Someone told me that they paid them 25
cents a week.

How interesting.

And then during the prohibition, they
used them to run illegal wine and

Falcon Crest is honeycombed with all
these tunnels.

I don't remember much about them, but I
do remember that there's an old gold

mine somewhere.

Don't you believe me about Julia?

Of course I believe you.

About Julia and the tunnels.

Let's talk about all that later.

So, as you can see, I've covered all the
possible contingencies for Lance's

trial. I even think that a change of
venue might be highly desirable.

Well, go ahead and arrange it.

Now, what about de Berthe?

Nothing new so far.

You know, it seems strange working with
Chase and Richard on this.

But it makes sense that someone on the
outside of Falcon Crest is trying to

break us apart.

Well, considering the personality's
concern, I don't think that's exactly

to be a difficult task.

Well, Emma, did you have a nice day in
the city?

Mother, I didn't go shopping.

I spent the day aboard Jean -Louis'
yacht. I had a wonderful time.

Emma, I forbid you to see that man
again.

Oh, why?

Not our kind of people?

He's dangerous.

He is a little scary, but he's wonderful
and charming.

And I plan to see him whenever I like.

in the attic.

I heard that.

I think for her own safety, that
wouldn't be a bad idea.

I want you and your staff to check the
Hall of Records, the historical

authorities, universities, museums,
libraries, anywhere where there might be

reports or plans or maps of the tunnels
and mines dug in this valley over a

century ago.

They will be our roadmap to the
treasure, I'm sure of it.

Perhaps someone at Falconcrest could
lead you to them.

I've already considered that. I shall
call Emma again tomorrow.

And Julia?

Emma, Julia, either one of them will be
our shortcut to the treasure.

And neither of them know that that
secret is worth millions and millions

millions. Oh, darling.

Charlie, what have you got there?

Lance and Emma requested breakfast in
their rooms.

Put that right down.

Tell Lance and Emma if they want to eat,
they can come down here and join me.

Yes, Miss Channing.

Ah, Miss Channing.

What are you doing here?

I was hoping to have a word with Emma.

Well, you may not.

I don't like you, de Bercy, and I don't
want to see you around here anymore.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

Won't you see she gets these, please?

Did I hear someone at the door? No.

How you feeling?

Hi there, Melissa.

What are you doing here?

These are for Terry.

The ownership papers.

The horse is officially hers now.

I would have had them delivered to her
house, but I wanted to stop by and see

Small Virtue.

Well, I'll see that she gets them.

Are you sorry you sold your interest in
the horse?

I made the right decision.

For Cole, perhaps.

I'm going to miss her.

I'm going to miss you.

I made my decision. Cole and I are
getting married.

Yeah, but you're not married yet.

And I'm not going to give up until you
are.

Am I supposed to be flattered?

No, forewarned.

I'm in love with you, Melissa.

Well, that's too bad.

Melissa, if you're so determined to
marry Cole, why haven't we heard about a

wedding date?

You will.

Just as soon as my marriage to Lance is
annulled by the church.

Well, I sure hope you plan on inviting
me. I love a good annulment.

We'll even try to sneak you into the
wedding.

Maybe Cole will let you usher.

Goodbye, Greg.

See you, Melissa.

Hey, what do you make of all that, huh?

Come in.

Sit down.

Your friend here wasn't kidding when he
said he was going to let his editorial

staff loose.

Because he's not afraid of the truth.

No, that's because he's afraid of his
grandmother. If he didn't do something

drastic to boost the circulation, she
would have taken the paper away from

Sweet roll?

No, thank you. Oh, come on. No, thank
you.

Here's the proof you wanted me to copy.

Ah.

Don't know what you're missing.

Mmm.

Delicious.

Blueberries. Glazed sugar.

No, thanks. I won't be coming until
about noon tomorrow.

I have some errands to run. I hope
that's okay.

Fine.

I think somebody who can't eat a sweet
roll is not feeling well, though.

I'm fine.

You don't look fine.

I think you should see a doctor.

No, you worry too much.

So do I about Lance.

That's why...

I wish you wouldn't broadcast that
story.

It makes him look like a mass murderer.

It makes him look like what he is, an
opportunist.

Somebody who's willing to do anything to
ensure his place in Angela's little

kingdom.

Now, this is a responsible news
organization, young lady, and I'm not

hide the truth.

But you're not above twisting it, are
you?

Come in.

Oh.

Oh, I'm so glad to see you.

I am bored out of my mind, and I was
beginning to think that you had

about me completely.

Why didn't you tell me the truth about
your escape from the spring house?

I did. I told you everything.

You didn't mention anything about the
tunnel.

Well, I... I guess I didn't...

Think it was important.

I mean, I'm here. I'm alive.

Tell me about the tunnel, Julia.

How did you find out about that? I shall
ask the questions.

How many other tunnels are there?

I don't know.

There are dozens.

But that one was secret.

My Uncle Jason showed that to me and my
sister when we were little.

And he made us promise never to tell
anyone.

Including your psychiatrist, I suppose?

Are there any other tunnels that no one
else knows about?

I don't know.

What are you asking me these things for?

Think back to your childhood, Julia.

Was there any place you couldn't get
into?

An entrance that was barred by a locked
door?

Passageway too steep to climb?

Anything like that at all?

I don't remember. Did you see any boxes
or crates anywhere? Anything unusual?

I don't know.

asking me these things for? What do you
want from me?

You could help us both by answering my
questions.

I shall leave you for now.

Hey, you, wait a minute.

You told me that I could leave here any
time I wanted, and I think the time is

now.

I'm sorry, Julia.

You're not yet well enough to go
anywhere.

Right. Well, our surveillance people
haven't noticed any unusual activity at

DeBercy house.

Maybe he is who he says he is. Yes, and
he may not be.

Too many coincidences.

If DeBercy's associated with a cartel,
I've got to know about it. If he's not,

just don't want there to be any doubt.

Well, we'll watch him for as long as you
want us to. I'll be at the track all

afternoon.

Oh, uh...

Listen, call Judge Holder and tell him I
can't make lunch.

Oh, you two are getting awfully close
these days.

We have some similar views.

Yeah? The fact that you offered to help
him become State Supreme Court Justice

has nothing to do with his hardline
approach to Lance's case, does it? I

you've forgotten who signed your
paycheck, Miss Finch. You wouldn't fire

I'm too good at what I do.

On the rare occasion when you do it,
without question.

Lance has a lot to answer for, starting
with Lorraine.

And he's going to pay the price.

Oh, you'll destroy Lance, all right.

You've real knack for it, a God -given
talent.

Your mother will be proud of you.

You'll destroy Lorraine as well.

You know, sometimes I wonder if you have
any real feeling for her at all.

Charlie said you wanted to see me.

Yes, I do. Come on in.

You're sure keeping him busy, running up
and down the stairs at all hours of the

day and night, summoning family members
to your office.

You're gonna give the poor man a
coronary.

He needs the exercise.

What is it this time, Grandmother?

Am I playing the stereo too loud?

Watching too much TV?

Sleeping around?

Will you sit down?

Melissa and Cole want very much to get
married. Common knowledge, Grandmother.

Although I haven't the faintest idea
what they see in each other.

Well, I see what I see in Melissa.

Dear Gretty Harvest.

I don't want Chase controlling them
forever.

Which is what would happen if they went
through with this.

Our young friends seem to be set on a
church wedding.

Now, Greg tells me that Melissa wants to
have your marriage annulled.

Mm -hmm. It shouldn't be a problem.

My marriage to Melissa was a sham from
the start.

Well, I want you to fight her on this,
because if she doesn't get the

then she and Cole won't stay together.

You read like an open book, Grandmother.

You just want to give Greg Reardon more
of a chance to weasel his way into

Melissa's bed, don't you?

Will you do as I say and remember how
dependent you are upon me at the trial?

You know, sometimes I think I'd be
better off taking my own chances in

When will she be back?

Quando ritornerà?

I see.

Mi chiamo Cestio Berti. Sì.

Le dica che ho telefonato.

Sì?

Sì, grazie.

Hey.

Hey. What was that all about?

I'm trying to reach Mary Giannini.

I want to get her.

to help fill out the Debussy story.

Where is she, New York?

Yeah, living with a cousin from Italy.

She told me she'd have her call back.

I think that's what she said. You know
my Italian.

Ah, poor Mary.

She must hate New York. I mean, you
know, she really belonged in the valley.

I miss them.

Yeah, me too.

Sam, if I find out that Debussy had
anything to do with his murder...

I won't rest till I see him rotting in
prison, I tell you.

If de Berthier did murder Sam and he has
any inkling that we are on to

him, what's to prevent him from doing
the same thing to any one of us?

Absolutely nothing.

Well, did you find out what's wrong with
me?

You're in perfect physical condition,
but I'm afraid you're due for a lot more

emotional stress.

I knew it.

Pregnant.

Hey. I was just thinking about you.

You were?

What were you thinking?

Wouldn't you like to know? Yes, I would.

As much as I'd like it to be, this is
not a social call.

Okay, what's up?

I've been out in the fields all morning
with my vineyard manager.

We start our harvest tomorrow.

You can expect the first delivery
tomorrow afternoon.

Looks like our presses are going to be
busy. We start harvesting on Saturday.

Really? Yeah, now that business is done.

If it isn't the happy couple. Look at
them.

Hello, Matt.

Been to a good trial lately.

Is there something we can do for you?

No. As a matter of fact, I was about to
do the both of you a great big favor.

I can't wait to hear it. I understand
that you're trying to get our marriage

annulled to the church.

We were planning on talking to you about
it.

Here's a questionnaire.

I've already applied for the annulment.

What?

Why are you doing this?

Believe me, Cole, it's not because of
any great love for you.

Are you going to do it, or do I have to
forge your answers?

I'll take it to the priest myself.

Okay, now he's going to want to meet
with both of us.

Just let me know when, and I'll be there
with bells on.

Well, aren't you even going to say thank
you?

Of course I will, Lance.

After the annulment is final.

Oh, my... Jeez, don't... You scare the
daylights out of me. Well, you're pretty

scary, and Debussy and all that stuff
going on, and you're creeping around.

Give a girl some warning.

I'll give you some warning.

I'm all alone in a big house with a
beautiful woman. No maid, no kids. I

be held responsible for my actions.

I'm not going to get that. Let it ring.

What are you doing for the rest of the
afternoon?

I was thinking maybe, how about a hot
bath, a

nap, a little champagne on the veranda
maybe?

Or would you rather go bowling?

Bowling sounds good.

to whoever it is.

Hello.

Mary. How are you?

Sorry to hear that.

Listen, I need to ask you a few
questions about Jean -Louis de Bercy.

Okay?

Whoever invented the necktie should have
been hung by one.

I just got a call from Chase.

He may have found something.

I'm going to meet him at Falcon Crest.

Oh, he can take me as long with you.

Now, you may recognize these two
gentlemen. They were photographed early

morning outside de Bertha's house.

It's Baker and Hanson.

Mr. DeBercy keeps good company, doesn't
he?

Pretty much ties him in with Reidman,
doesn't he?

Is the car ready?

Yes, it's outside.

Can I help you with that? No.

Funny man.

You go ahead.

Come on.

Sorry I'm late. I had a little trouble.

Any chance of surveillance devices in
here? There's always a chance, but the

room was electronically swept a few
weeks ago. It was clean then. So that's

you and that so -called detective were
doing in here.

Anyway, it looks like DeBercy's our man.

These photographs were taken outside his
place.

I knew those gentlemen.

Several years ago, they're two of the
cartel's most vicious operatives.

Well, they certainly looked the part.

It appears that de Bercy's working for
Gustav Friedman. I think de Bercy is

Gustav Friedman. He had Sam Giannini
murdered so he could take over his

vineyard. I talked to Mary about an hour
ago.

It took a lot of coaxing to get her to
even deal with the subject.

She is absolutely terrified of the man.

She confirmed something I suspected.

He forced her to sell the property after
Sam's death.

That doesn't surprise me, but that
doesn't mean that Gustav and de Bercy

and the same.

Greg, tell Richard what you just told
us.

De Bercy has a residence in the Loire
Valley in France.

He's been successfully hiding behind
that identity for many years, and as you

know, he even fooled me the first time I
checked into his background.

But according to the State Department,
he has dual citizenship, France and

Argentina.

Reidman's home base?

Yeah. Well, it isn't conclusive yet, but
I think the government should be in on

this. The phone call's not going to
convince anybody, no matter what our

credentials may be.

I think this information is so important
that we've got to deliver it

personally.

Then let's do it. My car is outside. We
can take it.

You go with him, Greg.

The Harvardson is upon us, and they're
going to need me here, and I want

everything to look absolutely normal.

Stay by the phone. We'll call you as
soon as we can.

I think we've all heard enough.

I didn't know they conducted a sweep.

Fortunately, we managed to jam it.

Well, we knew it was bound to happen
sooner or later.

In a way, I suppose I'm quite relieved
my charade is over.

And I'll have to move quickly.

I'll have to walk away from here without
my treasure.

Then you have a contingency plan. Indeed
I do, my dear. One in which you play an

integral part.

Worried, Richard?

No.

Why should I be? We're on our way to
victory, aren't we?

How deep is your connection with the
cartel, anyway?

I severed my ties with them years ago,
Chase.

You knew they must have been behind the
airplane crash, but you didn't say a

word. Why?

Couldn't be that you were afraid of
repercussions, could it?

Your own connection with them exposed.

A jail term at stake.

Speaking of jail terms, Counselor, as I
recall, it was you and Angela who

conspired to frame Chase for that plane
crash.

Well, well, well.

It all comes out now, huh?

May I help you?

I need to speak to Mr. Reardon.

I'm afraid he's not here right now.

What about Mrs. Channing?

What is it, Charlie?

I'm Cheryl Russell. I'm an investigator.

I've been working on the diversity case
for Mr. Reardon.

Oh, well, I can handle this. Thank you,
Charlie.

Well, I'm afraid Mr. Reardon is on his
way to San Francisco.

But if you have any news, I'd like for
you to give it to me.

As a matter of fact, I do have something
right here.

An invitation.

To spend the evening with Gustav
Riebman.

Over my dead body.

I don't think so, Mrs. Channing.

You see, Mr. Riebman has a house guest
I'm sure you're going to want to see

again.

Your daughter, Julia.
