When Jim bought this property, there was a sizable reservoir.

-I'll go and check it out. -Good.

That water is vital to Falcon Crest.

She's wandered again, farther than usual.

Why won't you admit there's something wrong?

There is nothing wrong with her.

There's been a landslide. We can make it across.

Go slow.

If you do tell, I'll just run away again.

And next time, nobody will ever find me.

-Don't move. -My leg.

Ride back to the jeep and go for help. Get going.

-The water's very warm. -Don't get my hair wet.

-I'm serious. -I love serious women.

Lance, I mean it.

Watch out, a snake.

Why, you.

Come here, you.

Come.

So delicious.

Come here.

Not too far away... Yes.

Hi, Grandmother.

You were supposed to be reading those marketing reports.

Well, I'm halfway through them.

How was the funeral?

You're reminding me more of your father every day.

Now, if you have the time, I'll be in my study.

Do you have to go?

Yes.

Did you have to embarrass me out there?

Three hundred acres of undeveloped land

is a rare commodity these days.

I'm gonna miss Jim Ruddick.

-You hated his guts. -I hated his views.

He thought the whole world should be a national park.

Didn't believe in developing the land.

Maybe his heirs will put it to better use.

He has no heirs.

And if you'd been at the funeral,

tending to business, you'd know that.

Alright, I'm sorry.

In a few years, we're gonna need an alternative water source.

When Jim bought this property, there was a sizable reservoir.

-I'll go up and check it out. -Good.

You know, he didn't maintain it very well...

...so nobody knows if it still exists.

-Is this weekend soon enough? -The bids close on Friday.

You leave tomorrow...

...with Cole.

Cole? What do I need Cole for?

Two young men on a camping trip can't cause too much attention.

And besides, that's wilderness up there.

Grandmother, I can do this by myself.

When are you gonna give me responsibility?

I just have.

That water is vital to Falcon Crest.

Now, if you can't handle it, I'll find someone who can.

I can handle it.

-Have you seen your grandmother? -She's in the study.

What was that all about?

Oh, nothing, nothing. What do you want?

I've been looking for you. I had to take Emma up to her room.

I found her in my laboratory.

She was conducting some kind of an experiment.

Well, I'm sure it wasn't harmful.

This time it wasn't.

Mother, Uncle Jason has been dead for almost three months...

...and she's still asking when he's coming for dinner.

Well, she's just a little forgetful.

But she's getting better.

Why won't you admit there's something wrong with her?

There is nothing wrong with her.

-Maggie. -Next draft...

Yeah, just a minute.

-What are you doing in here? -"I don't..." Knitting.

-Hey. -"Renew at..."

No, honey, don't, don't.

-You made me drop a stitch. -Come on.

I'm in the middle of something. I'm on a roll. It's important.

-Take a break. -Honey, I don't need this.

-You don't need this? -I don't need this now.

-When do you not need this? -You're crushing my papers.

You're crushing my papers.

Please tell me you're not reading.

-Please? -Wait a minute.

Tell me about Emma.

-Emma? -Yeah.

No, seriously.

Julia called me a few minutes ago.

We've been talking because I'm working on this article

about mental health.

Well, I don't think Emma's crazy.

No, Julia thinks that she could use a little psychiatric help.

Chase, she never leaves that house.

Yeah, Julia did say she was extremely upset

over my father's death. He and Emma were very close.

Yeah, well, I think it's more than that.

Yeah. You know, it's odd.

We haven't seen Emma once since we moved here.

Exactly.

There's this place in the valley called the Hayden Clinic.

They handle outpatients, they're progressive.

They have a wonderful reputation.

And Julia's asked me to speak to Angela about it.

Why don't you tell Julia and let her speak to the dragon queen?

She just doesn't wanna do it by herself.

Then you're braver than I am.

And stronger.

Great, you're both here. Sorry.

-Hi. -Hello.

You've heard of knocking. It's a lovely old custom.

Yeah.

-Hi. Come on in. -Sorry.

Lance has to go to the country to look at some land.

We're packing it on horses. I'd be gone a couple of days.

We?

Well, Angie asked me to go with him. Is it okay?

When have you and Lance been so chummy?

Since I found out he'll be riding past Rimrock Canyon.

They got great petroglyphs up there.

Petroglyph? You don't know what petroglyphs are.

Petroglyphs...

-Oh, come on. -Tell her.

They're carvings, Mom.

They're made from rock walls by Indians.

Smart, see?

What do you say?

I don't know. That's rough country up there, isn't it?

Dad, I'll be okay.

Hey, look, if you're so worried, why don't you go with them?

-I've got work to do. -I think it would be great.

All work and no play makes for a very repressed libido.

It does. It's in my article.

Dad, come on, we haven't been out camping since I was 9.

Has it been that long?

-See? -Yeah.

I've gotta paint the bin, gotta change the oil in the tractor.

Vickie and I can do all of that. We can figure out how to do it.

-You are not indispensable. -Thanks a lot.

Well, Dad?

Sounds good. Sounds good.

Emma?

I wish it would rain.

I love to watch the rain on the window.

Oh, yes.

Makes the whole world look so soft and thoughtful.

Strawberries.

The gardener brought them in fresh just for you.

They're better than last year.

Sweeter.

Try one.

Maybe a little later.

Listen, darling...

...Julia said she found you in her laboratory this morning.

Now, why were you wandering off?

Beats me.

Sometimes I love my room so much,

I just can't bear the thought of leaving.

Then all of a sudden, I just have to get out.

The next time you feel that way, will you tell me?

And then one of us will go with you.

Alright?

-Oh, Maggie. -Hi.

Vickie?

So good of you to come.

I just know this is right.

Don't worry, I just came over to appreciate the wallpaper.

I can pretend I'm at the art museum in New York.

-Is the living room safe? -Yes, go right on in.

Mother is expecting us but she doesn't know what for.

-Great. -Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm glad I let your mother talk me into this, it's beautiful.

-We haven't seen anything yet. -Come on. I got a deadline.

We got time, mix a little pleasure in with your business.

My idea of pleasure is a hot tub...

...a fine wine and someone a lot prettier than the two of you.

So let's go, huh?

Hi.

What's your name?

Hey, where are you going?

I do not receive visitors.

That's a beautiful song.

It tells about being young and beautiful and in love.

Did you learn it in France?

No.

My uncle taught it to me.

Jason was my grandfather.

He was?

Then we're relatives.

Well, Emma isn't crazy.

Well, no one's implying that she is.

-We don't want to upset you. -Well, you have.

Mother, when are you going to realize

that there's something wrong with Emma?

That she needs professional help?

I didn't know you'd taken a course in psychology, Julia.

I understand how you feel.

I've spent three days researching Hayden Clinic...

...and it completely changed my ideas.

I think a lot of us just have misconceptions

about mental hospitals.

Emma has love and security right here with us.

Well, then have someone come here and see her.

I mean, we can afford it.

No.

No.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Why would you wanna be Elizabeth Browning?

Because...

...Robert Browning stole her away and gave her a new life.

I dream of how a man would love me that much.

Do you think...

...that people with my kind of symptoms...

...are always alone?

Emma, you don't have to be so alone.

My mom's downstairs telling your mother

about a wonderful place where maybe you could be happier,

where you could get help.

What kind of place?

Well, it's a clinic, sort of.

They have doctors and therapy and special programs.

-My mom says it's really great. -You shouldn't be up here, miss.

Your mother's waiting for you downstairs.

It was nice meeting you, Emma.

I was in my first horse show when I was 7.

I won a blue ribbon for it.

I still have that thing lying around somewhere.

I was so small and the horse was so big.

But, you know, I did it all by myself.

It can't be easy being Angela's grandson.

That's an understatement.

She sure is a tough lady.

Well, you've heard the stories about her father.

She's gotta be just as tough to run Falcon Crest and survive.

And she wants you that way?

She's always told me I have to stand alone.

I can't live my life like other people.

I have to be able to make judgments...

...without being influenced by anybody or anything.

Sounds pretty lonely to me.

Sometimes.

But she's right, you know.

Falcon Crest is a big responsibility.

Lance, you're a different guy when you're not around her.

I've never seen you so relaxed.

We got a long ride tomorrow.

Let's turn in and get some rest.

Ruddick's canyon is this way, about an hour's ride.

Why don't we hit the petroglyphs?

Chase, I'm on a business trip. We're wasting time here.

Cole and I can go on by ourselves and meet you here.

No way, you guys would just go up there and get lost.

-That's all I need. -We'll make it quick.

Looks like there's been a landslide here.

Maybe we'd better walk them across.

What's the matter, Chase?

Are you getting tired and old?

-We can make it across, easy. -Yeah, come on, Dad, let's go.

How do you think I got to be so ancient? Go slow.

Take it slow. Take it slow.

Cole?

Hold this.

Cole?

Dad.

Well?

-Oh, no, no. -Don't move.

-My leg, my leg. -Don't move.

-What about the horse? -Don't worry about the horse.

I'll take care of it. Just don't move.

How is he?

There's a first-aid kit in my blanket roll, throw that down.

And the canteen and the sleeping bag.

I want the rifle too.

What are we gonna do with only one horse?

You know this area well, isn't there a ranger station nearby?

No, nowhere.

Ride back to the jeep and go for help.

-That may take all night, Chase. -Then get going.

Get going!

Dad, I'm okay.

Just a little dizzy, that's all.

For once, I'm gonna pull rank.

Now, just don't move.

Stay here and keep that leg still.

I'm sorry.

"With the engine off but at normal operating temperature...

...drain and discard the engine oil by removing the drain plug.

Figure 37."

The drain....

No, this must be it.

I got it. I got it. I got it.

Alright.

Now...

-...wrench. -Wrench?

-Wrench. Wrench. -Wrench.

The surgeon general has determined...

...that fixing tractors can be dangerous to your health.

Believe me, I'd much rather be writing.

-But we promised... -You promised.

Let's not get hung up on technicalities.

Maybe it's the mailman. I'll go check.

Vickie, I need another wre... Vickie.

Oh, brother.

Is Emma here?

No, she isn't. Should she be?

She's wandered off again. Farther than usual.

You don't think she's lost?

You were in Emma's room, what were you doing there?

Nothing, we just talked.

She's very nice.

Well, you must have done something...

...because Chao-Li said she was agitated when you left.

Why don't you come inside? I'll make you a cup of coffee.

We'll sit down and figure out where she might've gone.

I think you've helped quite enough. Thank you.

Chao-Li?

If I ever volunteer for this again,

remind me to have my head examined.

Honey, if you did say something to Emma,

talking might make you feel better.

We talked about Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Okay. Okay. It's not an accusation.

Angie's a witch. If I were her daughter,

I would've run away years ago.

She's a tough lady.

Maybe she has to be, to run Falcon Crest.

She's not tough enough to take the blame for Emma.

She had to come over here and point her finger at me.

I know, but she was upset.

Yeah, the more I think about it, so am I.

No matter what I do, I can't seem to fit in around here.

-Come on. -I'm just gonna take off.

I guess I need to be alone for a while.

He was suffering.

I should've listened to you and walked him across.

It's my fault.

-He was beautiful, Dad. -I know.

You having trouble breathing?

-Yeah, it's killing me. -You may have cracked some ribs.

Let's take a look at this leg.

It's broken, isn't it?

Well, let's not take any chances.

I'm gonna look and see what I can find to make a splint...

...get you off this slope.

Lance...

...I'll be back before you know it.

Dad?

Don't go far.

I'm scared.

I'll be right where you can see me.

Easy, boy, easy.

Come on.

Emma, what are you doing here?

This is...

...my special place.

Uncle Jason built it for me when I was a little girl.

Uncle Jason said...

...they used to keep places like this...

...to keep things cool and fresh...

...like buttermilk and apples.

He thought it was sad that there weren't places

like this anymore.

Emma, does anyone know you're here?

Don't come near me.

Don't touch me, please.

Emma, your family's worried about you.

They think I'm crazy.

They're concerned, that's all.

You told me they wanted to send me away.

I don't want to be sent away.

Emma, I didn't mean that the way it sounded.

You don't have to do anything you don't want to.

Well, I don't want to go home.

I want to stay here.

I feel safe here.

Okay.

I'll stay here with you.

Thank you, Chao-Li.

Mr. Channing.

You didn't have to come all the way up here, Douglas.

What did you expect I'd do when I heard that Emma was missing?

Stay in San Francisco with your newspapers.

That's the excuse you gave for six months for not seeing her.

I didn't realize it'd been that long.

What happened to her?

Nothing's happened to her.

She just wanders.

But we'll find her.

Have you notified the proper authorities?

Oh, that won't be necessary.

I have my whole crew of men looking for her.

If the police approached her, she'd be terrified.

You said she was getting better.

Oh, she is.

Douglas, please, trust me in this.

I'd like to...

...but I'm not leaving till she's found.

-You okay? -Yeah.

How long do you think it will take Lance to get back?

Son, you know how long it took us to ride in.

If he cuts that in half, it's gonna be a wait.

You can handle it.

Do I have...

...any choice?

I know it hurts.

Just try to relax and take slow, easy breaths.

It will be alright.

We gotta keep going.

Don't give up on me now.

Oh, damn.

Check in there. I'm gonna check here.

They're coming to get me.

I know I could make it, if someone will just believe in me.

-Emma, I don't... -Don't let them take me, please.

-Come on, I don't know... -You're my friend, don't tell.

Okay. Alright.

You gotta be very quiet, okay?

-Hi. -Who are you?

-What are you doing in there? -Vickie. I do my homework here.

Hi.

Look, we're looking for Emma Channing.

I saw her yesterday in her room.

Is there anything I can do to help?

If you see her, bring her back. They're worried about her.

-Sure. -Thanks, Vickie.

Jose, Eddy, let's move south.

Damn it, everything must be damp.

I can't get the fire started, I'm sorry.

Dad, it's okay.

It's okay? You're freezing.

Thanks.

You don't know what you just did for me.

You got a sense of humor.

I can't get the fire started, what's great about that?

You failed.

I always thought you could do anything.

There I was, always bringing up the rear.

Always screwing up.

That's funny, I never saw you that way at all.

I never thought I could measure up to you.

I'm glad you think I'm someone worth measuring up to.

Who's there?

Please, I need some help.

What happened?

I need to use your phone.

I have a friend that's stranded in Rimrock Canyon, badly hurt.

We don't have a phone here.

Let me get something for that cut on your head.

I've gotta get some help.

Oh, I can't let you go out again like that.

It's at least a 10-mile hike to the nearest phone.

I'll get something for the cut.

What happened to your friend?

His horse threw him...

...rolled over on top of him...

...and he's hurt real bad. I gotta get some help.

Oh, you can't go back out there.

What's your name anyway?

Lance. Lance Cumson.

Well, Lance, my husband, Lloyd...

...he'll be here in an hour, maybe sooner.

He's got a shortwave in his truck.

We could radio the sheriff's station.

Are you sure he'll be back soon?

-Positive? -Positive.

Here.

You've gotta lay down.

Oh, you're out on your feet.

Just let me rest a few minutes.

Just a little rest.

Don't let me fall asleep.

-Alright. -I can't fall asleep.

Little rest.

I gotta help...

I gotta help Cole.

Poor thing.

Yeah.

Can I tell you a secret?

Sure.

But aren't you getting hungry? It's way past dinner time.

I have a lover.

His name is Turner Bates.

We used to come here together sometimes.

I miss him so much.

Emma, it's awfully late. Why don't I walk you home now?

Okay, but if I don't go home,

they're gonna start looking for both of us.

I'll bring some food back in the morning.

I won't tell anyone you're here.

Alright.

But if you do tell...

...and they make me go home, I'll just run away again.

And next time, nobody will ever find me.

Dad.

Dad.

Yeah?

The pain...

...it's getting worse.

Just hold onto me.

I'm so cold.

This will take care of it.

You're gonna make it.

Just hold on.

Just hold on.

Hi.

Where have you been? I've been worried.

Out walking, lost track of time.

Well, your dinner's in the oven.

You feel better?

Not really.

Wanna talk?

I'd like to sleep on it, okay?

Okay.

It's almost daylight.

How come you got back so late?

-It's not what it looks like. -Hey, you got it all wrong.

-Lloyd, don't. -Hey.

-Relax. -Where the hell is Lance?

You made it through the night. That's the worst part.

-You're gonna be alright. -Please.

Please.

Lance isn't coming.

He would've been back by now. You go.

I can't go and leave you here alone. Just take it easy.

Have some water here. Have some water.

Take it easy. Relax.

-Relax. -Okay.

Now look at the sky...

...the clouds, anything. Help is on its way.

Everything's fine.

Everything's fine, okay?

-Hi. -Hi.

Did you sleep last night? Your light was on awfully late.

Sort of.

You ready to paint the wood bin today?

I can't.

But if you wait, I'll do the whole thing myself.

Vickie...

...do you know where Emma is?

Because if you do, please tell me.

I know that you're trying to help her,

but she's a woman with many problems...

...that you're not equipped to deal with.

I have to go to the library. I have a paper due...

If something should happen to her...

...are you willing to take on that responsibility?

I'll be back later.

We gotta get somebody out there in a hurry.

You weren't in a hurry to leave Jenny Caulkins

if Lloyd found you there.

I passed out.

I told her to wake me up, but she fell asleep too.

If my cousin dies, who do you think

my grandmother's gonna hold responsible? Me or you?

You don't have to go throwing your weight around here.

Where did you say your cousin took that fall?

Near Rimrock Canyon, but he's in a ravine,

I got to go with you.

-Okay men, down the hill here. -I'll go down by the river.

Sam....

Emma. Emma.

You lied to me.

I trusted you.

You lied. Now they're gonna find me.

Emma, I didn't tell anyone. I didn't lie to you.

Your family's worried.

They're afraid something might have happened to you.

Do you really think so?

Maybe it's time to go home.

But this is my special place.

I feel safe here.

Emma, you can learn to feel safe wherever you are.

You just can't keep living in a make-believe world.

You do.

You're right.

I guess I've been living in the past too.

I just didn't feel I had anybody to talk to.

Now I do.

Me?

We'll help each other, Emma.

Okay?

Let's go.

Damn it, Lance, where are you?

You could've been here five times by now.

Alright, Cole...

...I'm gonna ease you on to this, get you out.

-No. Please, don't. -You've got to. Got to.

Just hang onto me.

Hey. Hey, over here!

Here. Down here!

Hey, the chopper's here. You're on your way home, lad.

Hey, you're gonna be alright. I told you, didn't I? Alright.

Oh, I was so worried about you.

We were all worried about you.

Daddy, I'm so glad to see you.

I've missed you so much.

I missed you too.

Where were you all night?

We were in the springhouse.

Vickie kept me company.

She brought me food.

Mother, Vickie's my friend.

She was afraid you were going to send her away.

I guess that was my fault.

But I found Emma and she's home.

And that's where you belong, darling. Home.

Mother...

...can Vickie come and visit with me sometimes?

Anytime.

Can she, Mother?

Yes, darling.

Now, you must be exhausted.

Let me take you upstairs.

Vickie...

...I really appreciate what you did for Emma.

Thank you.

Mrs. Baker, please come to.... Mrs. Baker, please come to....

-Cole Gioberti's room, please. -Maggie.

Chase.

I got here as fast as I could. How is he?

He had a pretty rough night.

Severe shock, but he's gonna be fine.

Can I see him?

They're putting a cast on his leg.

-Let me buy a cup of coffee. -Alright.

Lance, I want to thank you for all your help.

Oh, it's okay, Maggie.

I don't know how we would've made it without you.

I gotta get going.

Dr. Rogers, 1742.

Dr. Rogers, 1742.

Are you sleepy, baby?

It's so nice to have a friend to talk to again.

What did you and your little friend talk about?

Lots of things.

Did you talk about Uncle Jason?

Oh, yes.

You did?

Did you talk about the night Uncle Jason died?
