All language subtitles for Falcon Crest s04e26 The Decline

Tonight, on Falcon Crest. You know where
he is, don't you? Oh, it can't be

ridiculous. I'm going to find where
Lance is hiding, and when I do, nothing

nobody is going to keep us apart again!

A cashier's check. More than enough
money to put Falcon Crest right where we

want it.

And Angela Channing right where we want
her.

I want you to get a line on Lance.

Stake out Angela Reard and anyone else
you think might lead to him.

Lorraine? I said anyone.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hello? Emma?

Lance, how are you?

Sheriff Robbins was here again. I don't
care about Sheriff Robbins. Look, go get

Lorraine and put her on the phone.

Lorraine!

Lorraine!

Is everything okay?

Where are you?

Everything's okay, baby. Don't worry
about me. I'm fine.

I want you to get a bag and meet me...
Lance?

Lance, can you hear me?

I've lost him, Emma.

Lance!

No phone, probably.

Mother, Lance was just on the phone.

He was trying to tell me where he was,
but the line went dead before he could

finish. Well, that's good.

Because none of us should get involved.

But he needs me. Why else would he call?

Well, obviously, he's not using his
head.

Now, if you care anything about my
grandson, you will not help the police

him. You know where he is, don't you?
Oh, don't be ridiculous. And this is

way of finally keeping us apart. You're
getting hysterical. Maybe I am, but I'm

going to tell you something, Angela. I'm
going to find where Lance is hiding,

and when I do, nothing and nobody is
going to keep us apart again.

What makes that girl so determined?

It's called love, Mother.

Your morning paper, sir. Oh,

forgive me, sir. I didn't realize that
you were entertaining.

Seems as though I didn't surprise myself
once.

Will she be joining you for breakfast,
sir?

Yes, please, if it's no bother.

Oh, not for me, sir.

I eat in the kitchen.

Wasn't a dream, was it?

Wasn't what a dream?

You and I, last night, our role in the
hay.

Dreams very seldom leave behind
incriminating evidence.

I'll press it between the pages of my
diary.

As soon as I start keeping a diary.

Last night should make an interesting
chapter.

but I'm afraid I am going to have to
take a wrench.

We are in for days.

Days and days and days and days and
days.

Terry, no one has a client who is a
fugitive from the law. I'm afraid

expects me to pull out all kinds of
legal magic.

You can pull a rabbit out of my hat any
time you want.

I wish I could pull the whereabouts of
Joel McCarthy out of someone's hat.

Spoil things by talking about him.

If you knew where he was, you'd tell me,
wouldn't you?

Well, of course.

Except... Except what?

Except, isn't it bad form for a proper
young lady to be talking about one man

when she's in bed with another?

Since when have you ever been any
proper?

You let in, don't you?

I didn't hear you complaining last
night.

Makes perfect sense. No wonder Chase is
afraid of the Helios Foods deal. He's

got money problems.

With a triple -A credit rating and a net
worth exceeding $25 million, hardly

think he's got a problem.

It is when you don't have cash flow.

Look there.

That champagne dealer of his has drained
him nearly dry until he can get this

product out there on the market. My dear
half -brother is seriously strapped for

good old hard cash.

I see. Which means that, uh...

he won't be able to carry his end of the
financing if Falkencrest opts for the

Helios deal.

Not if, Pamela.

When? Angela and I have got every
intention of going forward with or

Chase. Now, if he can't come up with
enough money to join us, well, I guess

have no choice but to buy out his one
-third share of Falkencrest.

Understand this before we go one step
further.

Nothing you can do, nothing you can say.

will force me out of Falcon Crest.

And that includes going after the Helios
deal.

That's very courageous of you, brother,
considering your financial position.

What do you know about my finances?

Nothing, really.

I just thought that that champagne
operation of yours might have left you a

little short of cash.

No more so than building racetracks,
buying radio stations, or going into the

generic wine business.

Yes, well, I'm the gambler in this
family.

I always figured you for a conservative.

Now, be that as it may, I have been
known to roll the dice now and then.

I believe that Angela is the only one
with sufficient cash to meet the

commitments required.

And, of course, remember, you can't even
go after the Helios contract until

you've expanded.

I'll find the money.

So will I.

You shouldn't have to look too far.

I'm willing to loan both of you all the
money you need.

Oh, well, that is very generous of you,
Angela.

Generosity has nothing to do with it.

You're going to have to pay me the same
interest you would any other

institution. And after all, this is a
family business.

I think we can work this out together.

Naturally, of course, we will require
certain collateral to secure your loan.

Naturally. I imagine Richards and my own
shares of Falkencrest would be adequate

collateral.

As I said, this is a family business.

Well, I think I'll pass. I've heard that
borrowing money from members of your

own family invariably causes friction,
and we certainly wouldn't want that to

happen with us, would we?

We don't have much time to put this
together.

As soon as the preliminary drawings of
the expansion are completed, I'll get

copies of both of them. We'll meet again
Thursday.

All right. See you then.

Angela.

I meant to tell you how sorry I am about
what happened to your grandson.

Why should you be sorry? You were the
one that was hit.

Yeah, that's true. But Lance has his
troubles, and I didn't want to be

responsible for adding to his problems.

I didn't want to press charges against
him. You filed a police report.

Yes, I had no choice.

The restaurant was going to file a
complaint of its own, and I was merely

to defuse things by keeping it in the
family.

Doing what you felt best.

Yes.

You'd be sure to explain that to Lance.

You know, if you happen to run into him,
see him.

If Lance hadn't hit that man, I would do
it.

If you feel that way, why do you
continue doing business with him? To

The best way I know how.

Angela, there is one other rather
pressing matter.

Since you're obviously so preoccupied
with Falcon Crest business, you're

neglecting your responsibilities as a
newspaper publisher.

You sound like a man positioning himself
for the job.

No, not at all. But something has to be
done, and done promptly.

The New Globe is like a ship without a
rudder. But not for long.

I have a very special person I want in
that job.

We're going to go for it, Cass.

That's wonderful news, Richard.

I'd like to get started on the artwork
to accompany the Falcon Crest bid.

Good.

Yes.

I enjoyed the other night.

I hope you know that.

I had a wonderful time, too.

Yes, it was very special.

Talk to you soon.

What? No comments, no warnings that I'm
getting too involved with Richard.

Why bother?

We're both entitled to our own
diversions, especially considering our

Here. Just delivered by messenger.

A cashier's check. We've closed escrow
on the Manhattan building.

More than enough money to put Falcon
Crest right where we want it.

And Angela Channing right where we want
her.

I don't intend to abdicate my role as
publisher of the New Globe.

But with all the demands on my time, I
can't give the paper the attention it

deserves.

Which brings me to you.

We thought that acting publisher might
serve as an appropriate title.

Well... I think you've got to be kidding

might serve as an appropriate reply. I,
uh...

Angela, has something happened between
us that I don't know about?

Am I being rewarded for a good deed that
I don't remember doing?

Well, your skill and experience speak
for themselves.

And besides, Maggie, you know the
operation of the New Globe, so you're

suited for the job I have in mind.

Ah, but what about us?

Since when have we become ideally
suited?

Well, I must say that in the past we
have had a few differences.

A few.

But, Maggie...

I trust you.

And that's more than I can say for some
people.

I know the feeling.

Come on over here.

I'll just go and sit down in that chair.
Oh, Angela, come now. This is silly.

Now,

the world looks a little different from
this angle, doesn't it?

We'd like to make the public
announcement as soon as possible. Now,

minute, you two. You cannot just drop a
bomb like that and expect an immediate

reply. We shouldn't wait too long. After
all, we do have a responsibility to the

newspaper.

I understand that this is a terrific
opportunity.

However, I have responsibilities as
well. I have a job at KRDC, I have a

and this is not a nine -to -five job.

What you do about Richard is your
business.

But Chase is going to be so busy with
the expansion of Falcon Crest, you're

going to have many lonely hours on your
hands.

Well, I will certainly consider this,
but that's all I can promise right now.

And that's all I can ask.

Well, thank you.

Excuse me.

Telling Maggie that you trusted her was
overdoing things just a tad.

Not at all.

I do trust her.

I mean, up to a point.

But there's more to it than just placing
the new globe in capable hands.

Such as getting Maggie away from Richard
Channing.

That, too.

But I was really thinking about little
Connie Giannini.

What does Connie have to do with all
this?

I've been watching her, Greg.

Her affection for Chase is more than
neighborly.

And the busier Maggie is, the more time
Chase is going to have to fall under

Connie's spell.

Nothing like a little marital strife to
stir the water again.

Have you seen this, Junks?

I don't know about you, but I'm getting
pretty sick and tired of seeing Lance's

name on the front page every day.

I think the guy was public enemy number
one instead of some creep who couldn't

get along with his grandmother.

What's all that?

Oh, nothing. Just some bank statements.

They made a mistake on one of my
accounts. I'm going to have to go into

correct it.

Wait a minute.

Can't it wait? What about our movie?

Oh, I really should take care of this
right away.

Well, I'll go with you. We can grab a
bite in the city.

You're very sweet.

But I know how tired you are. Why don't
I just fix you a snack, and when I get

back, we'll try to catch that movie.

Yeah, sure.

I'll be right back.

By the way, have you heard from Robin?

No, why?

No reason.

It's just that she left so suddenly. I
was wondering how she was doing.

Oh, I'm sure Robin's fine.

You don't know my cousin very well, but
she always lands on her feet.

Miss Channing?

What is it, Charlie?

My cousins informed me that Lance is
getting restless.

They fear he'll do something foolish.

Oh, he's been doing something foolish
all his life.

Mrs. Channing, it is a matter of great
honor to my family that no harm comes to

Lance. But Lance must cooperate.

Well, he got himself into this mess. So
he's going to have to be patient until I

can get him out of it.

And if Lance asks, what are your plans
for him?

Well, that's simple. You can't tell him.

Because I haven't told you.

Yes, Mrs. Channing.

Oh, Charlie.

Tell Lance I love him.

Well, they're acting weirder around here
than usual.

I think he knows where Lance is.

I think she knows where Lance is, too.
Great.

Everybody in this house knows where
Lance is except me.

I don't know where he is, Lorraine, but
I hope you find out.

I think it's a terrible idea. It was bad
enough you're working for Richard, but

now to go to work for Angela is crazy.

You work with Angela?

That's different, and you know it. Oh,
why is that different?

I don't think it's different at all.
Now, you had an opportunity to sell out

Falcon Crest, never to work with Angela
again.

Not only did you not turn that down, you
got in deeper. Well, I see. It's

turnabout fair play.

I agree to something you think is crazy,
so you turn around and do the same

thing to me. That's what it is. I am not
doing this to get even with you, Chase.

Look, this is the opportunity of a
lifetime. I heard that. It is.

And if I'm going to turn it down, I want
it to be for the right reasons, you

know? Let's see what's happening.

We're disagreeing more and more. Come
on. Disagreements are...

healthy for a relationship.

Not when you're disagreeing on the
fundamentals.

Well, let's hope it doesn't get to be a
trend.

I don't bite.

I call a $100 ,000 bribe one hell of a
bite.

Oh, can I assume that you have the
money, then?

Hmm.

Remind me, Pamela, what it is that I'm
buying.

My complete and total silence.

About? About the fact you hired Joel
McCarthy to frame Lance.

Don't worry, Melissa. I do have
scruples.

If I take the money, you can trust me.

I'll just bet.

You don't have much choice, do you?

You must be relieved that Lance is out
of the hands of the law.

I hope they never catch him.

I don't think you and I have anything
else to discuss.

Those three stooges you have guarding me
won't even let me go to the bathroom,

Charlie. They're here to protect you,
Lance.

I feel like a prisoner in here.

More, even. Because at least in prison I
have visitation rights.

How is Lorraine, anyway? She must be
worried sick about me.

Your grandmother is taking care of Miss
Prescott.

Oh, great. They must be having a
marvelous time together.

I gotta get out of here!

Lance, you must be patient.

Your grandmother needs more time to
arrange for your safety.

Arrange?

What does that mean, Charlie?

Arrange for my safety?

What does she have planned?

She has not told me.

Your grandmother loves you, Lance.

She's only trying to do what she thinks
is best.

Mar, will you do something for me? You
go back to Falcon Crest and tell my

grandmother that whatever she has
planned for me had darn well better

Lorraine.

Now, I mean it, Charlie.

I want Lorraine here, okay?

I want her here.

Because if I don't get her, I'll take my
own chances with the cops.

Oh, I don't know her maiden name. She
goes by Cassandra Wilder now.

She runs the ad agency out here.

The same one she ran back there, I
guess. Use your brain. I'm not paying

small fortune, I might add, to be
stupid. Now get digging.

How to pay me.

Your secretary said you wanted to see
me. Oh, yes, yes.

I wanted to talk to you, but it was
supposed to be at your convenience. She

didn't have to be so perfunctory. Well,
it's all right, because I wanted to talk

to you anyway.

Uh -oh.

Can I, yes, sit down, or should I take
this standing up like a man? Richard.

I am not your mother. You know, I'm not
here to scold you.

Good.

However, I do think you should lay off
of Lance. I mean, it seems to me it

be enough. You provoked him into a
fight. No, no, no. Hold it right there,

Maggie. Now, you weren't there. Do not
presume too much. Richard, when every

newscast on your schedule has a
description of Lance in it, I think your

intentions go beyond presumption. I am
just trying to help the authorities

locate a fugitive from justice. Great.

Hey, why don't you offer a reward?

Hey, that's a good idea. I think I'll do
that.

How much do you think he's worth? What
is this, some kind of a joke to you?

I'll tell you, Richard, I came in here,
I had a very difficult decision to make,

and you have just made it for me. I
always try to be helpful, Maggie.

I'm handing in my resignation today. I'm
giving you two weeks' notice.

Again?

Not because of Lance. No, not entirely.

I have had another job offer. I'm going
to take it.

Angela wants me to run the New Globe for
her.

My paper.

You're going to run mine?

Don't do it.

All right, Angela, you can quit KRDC if
you've got to, but do not go to work for

that woman. She'll corrupt you like she
corrupts everyone else. What? You offer

a better brand of corruption?

Maggie.

Come on, now, please.

Now, don't do it. Richard.

I wish it didn't have to be this way.

All right, fine.

If you're leaving, do it now. I don't
need two weeks' notice.

Not from somebody who's going to be a
stooge for Angela Channing.

Maggie?

You'll regret this.

This is our wine section.

We're already in need of more space.

I can see why you want to expand.

Now, Cole started this whole thing from
scratch. I'm quite an expert.

You said there were three of you running
the operation. I'm very lucky. We've

got a wonderful winemaker.

I told you about her. She polished her
skill in the Champagne region of France.

Connie?

Connie?

Ah, there you are.

to introduce you to a very important
person.

Oh, I ought to finish this reading,
Jane.

Take a minute. I want to impress a
financial big shot with our facilities

staff, so he'll lend me a button.

Larry, Connie Giannini. Connie, Larry
Michelson, him and Boyer Michelson,

investment bankers.

How do you do, Connie Giannini?

How do you do?

Would you mind showing him around? I've
got to get some keys for the warehouse.

Wait.

I heard you were back.

I had to see you.

What are you doing here?

We've helped Chase out before
financially.

You didn't tell him anything about... Of
course not.

I want to see you again.

No. In fact, Mr.

Michelson, this is where we keep the
records of all the white wine that we

produce here.

Come on, I'll show you enough bottle
collateral to soften the heart of the

meanest loan officer.

Want to join us?

Oh, no, no. I think I'd better get back
to work.

Very nice meeting you, Mr. Michelson.

If you've improved the quality around
here as much as you have the scenery,

Chase has a good thing going.

Please, don't flatter the help. They'll
be demanding raises.

We'll see you later.

Come on. And if you're a good guy, I'll
give you a few cases of our finest

public. Sounds good to me.

All right.

I've got to tell you, you're great at
legalese. Just great.

I think the only thing you have missing
in this contract is permission to use

the ladies' room, and otherwise... It's
not that bad, Maggie.

Just a standard contract, limiting your
powers in certain areas and giving you

full autonomy in others.

Freedom of the press is very important,
Maggie.

But, of course, I own the presses.

I own part of the New Globe, Mother.

That's why Greg insisted you be here,
Emma.

Then I think...

We should be as fair as possible to
Maggie.

After all, we'll be lucky to get her.
Thank you, Emma. Thank you. I appreciate

that. Look, I feel I can live with this.
It's a short -term contract. If things

work out, we can renegotiate.

You'll find me very generous if they do.

I want the new globe taken seriously
again.

Good. That's what I want.

And I'm sure you'll agree we should do
everything possible to clear Lance's

name. But you can use the resources of
the paper for that.

Now tell me, is it a deal?

Looks like the Giobertis and the
Channings are united on all kinds of

these days. We are a family. We sure
are.

Thank you.

Upstate New York.

Wine country.

No, no. If Miss Wilder lived up there, I
want you to find out why, when,

whatever. If you've got to hire more,
what do you call them?

Operatives? Then do it.

Just keep digging.

Morning,

Miss Tenning. Good morning, Sam.

Hope you're taking good care of the
lady. Oh, yes, sir.

Thank you, Sam.

Well, now, hold on here now.

You're looking very pretty, Miss Terry.
Now, don't come inside and spoil the

picture. Don't crush the soft goods.

I understand that you're bringing small
virtue back to Tuscany Downs. For the

fountain, I think.

Good.

I realize that Mr. Reardon's probably
too busy to help out.

Since we have a very close relationship,
we share.

I hope it all works out, Terry.

But I know that Mr. Reardon has got his
hands full now keeping Lance under

wraps. I wouldn't know anything about
that.

Why don't you find out?

Now, Terry, you know that I am still
getting bills from Florida for fixing

up with that divorce with Joel.

It could all still backfire.

Then you might wind up losing all that
money that good doctor left you.

Think what you could lose for bribing
government employees into falsifying

public records. There's nothing there to
prove.

However, do you know how easy it would
be to show Greg Reardon how you became

his partner in owning small virtue?

Just so you could report to me on his
plans for Lance's trial.

He wouldn't do.

Don't tempt me.

Now, why don't you do us both a big
favor and find out for Mr. Reardon where

Lance is?

Winning friends and peddling influences
again. Knock it off.

I've got the stats here on available
wineries, warehouses, and other

in case you get the money to expand.
I'll get it.

Look, I want you to get a line on Lance.

Stake out Angela Reardon and anyone else
you think might lead to him.

Lorraine? I said anyone. I can't wait
for the police to do it, and I don't

to wait too long for you to do it.

Thank you.

Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait
a minute.

Where are you guys going with all this
stuff? This stuff is being delivered

to Richard with instructions as to what
he can do with it. Come on in.

What are you up to?

Oh, Terry.

I talked to your secretary into letting
you make a few changes.

It's been my way of saying
congratulations.

Oh, aren't you...

Something. Aren't you adorable? Now, the
gallery said you can exchange anything

for whatever you want. I love it. You
know, every time I came into this

I expected the Mikado to come out of the
closet. Oh, this is just perfect.

Oh.

How about a cup of coffee, something?
Oh, no, no, no. I know you're busy. I

you're busy, but I would like to talk
for just a minute. Sure, I'm all yours.

Sit down. No.

Oh.

Maggie?

I'm in trouble again.

I've been keeping a terrible secret.

Something I haven't wanted anybody to
know.

Especially Greg.

God, he is going to hate me when he
finds out about this.

It's about Joel McCarthy.

I was married to him.

A long time ago in Florida.

He followed me here and wanted to start
over.

I divorced him when he got hooked on
cocaine.

He even started peddling it.

God.

He was such a sweet guy when I first met
him, Maggie, but he changed.

It's all right. It's all right.

It's okay.

I'm glad you told me.

It makes things so much less confusing.

There's more.

I want you to tell Greg he has to know.

Lance beat up Joel after he lost a race
to him.

I think it was Joel who ran Angela off
the road to make Lance look bad.

Lance is innocent.

I mean, what in the name of heaven was
Terry thinking of? No, no, no, that's a

stupid question. I mean, she clearly
wasn't even thinking at all. I mean,

Maggie, there is nothing worse than
having a man found guilty of a crime he

never even committed. I understand.
Greg,

she is in love with you. I mean, what's
worse, she even lied to me.

She was afraid to face you, that's all.

I like Terry very, very much.

But when she does a damn fool's stupid
thing like this, I... I know, I know.

Believe me, I know.

It's hard to stay angry with her. At
least it is for me.

So, all right, what are we going to do?

Well, I have to try and find Count Mary
Jane, of course. I mean, I'll go there

if necessary.

And bring Joe back here?

I don't know. I mean, I really don't
know.

I certainly want to ask him about that
driving job Terry mentioned and how he

came into all that money. And about
Richard. Yeah, you can count on that.

And there's a second avenue that I want
to explore, too.

But thank God we have finally got
something new to work on.

Is there anything I can do? Anything at
all?

Yes.

Yes. You'd better sit tight and keep her
poking.

Just you.

I'm not even going to mention this to
Angela. It's much too complicated. We'd

love to if you did.

I understand.

Bless you, Maggie.

And Terry.

Yes, and Terry.

That stupid idiot.

Doesn't Lance know the trouble he's in?
I tried to tell him, Miss Janice. But I

hope they knock him around a little bit.
Enough to make him start to think.

My cousins are also my students.

Even better than Lance. Charlie, I've
got to see him. The plans I've made for

him are almost complete now. They won't
work if he does something foolish.

It would be very dangerous for you to go
there, Miss Charlie. Not if we go first

thing in the morning.

Now, come with me. There's something I
want to show you.

Hi. Where are you going?

Well, I guess my petty. We're going
upstairs.

Oh.

Lorraine.

I'm sorry. I'm so glad you're back. I
want you to drive me to the mall before

closes. I don't feel like shopping,
Emma. Well, that's the best time. You

spend any money.

I have news for you.

Now I've got news for you, Greg.

Some things I'll sell, some I won't, and
some I might just give away.

I presume we are still talking about
information.

The last time we spoke...

Talking about stashing away a nest egg
in case of forced retirement.

I will not betray Richard for a few
pieces of gold. How about many pieces of

gold? If you're trying to tempt me,
you're doing a good job. But no, not

the law involved.

What do you know about Joel McCarthy?

Sorry, I've done business elsewhere
concerning him.

I see. Interesting.

But inconclusive.

Judge Holder?

Slimy, isn't he?

Slimy. Formidable from where I stand in
the court.

Poor Greg.

Violently fighting the forces of evil.

Well, I suppose I could reveal a few
fascinating tidbits about those

if you're willing to make a trade.

Well, I'm afraid I really don't know
where Lance is, and quite frankly, I

want to, I don't.

And I believe you. I wish I didn't. Too
damned honest, and too quick to agree

that our little romance was just a happy
escapade for two of us.

It wasn't.

You always said so.

Unlike you.

I lie a lot.

Fascinating.

What one can see in the color of an old
and very special wine.

I see my grandfather who bottled this.

I see my father who kept it for a
special occasion.

And there I am, opening it to toast yet
another Gioberti, my son,

and his bride.

And... My bride, who has recently been
named publisher of one of the West's

greatest newspapers.

Well, our cup runneth over.

Well, maybe it will, and we deserve it.

We're very proud of you, Maggie.

I think it's wonderful you can do such
an important job.

Well, let's hope I can do such an
important job. Actually, it's an

opportunity. It was a tough decision to
make, though. I mean, I certainly had my

doubts.

I think Chase did, too.

I never had any doubts about your
ability to handle the job. It was

Angela.

But then I made a deal with the Wicked
Witch of the West, too. So now we're all

one big, happy, suspicious family,
aren't we?

That was your editorial on Lance this
morning, wasn't it? Yeah. Oh, but that

nothing to do with Angela.

I really felt very strongly there was a
miscarriage of justice in that case.

You know, Greg might come up with some
new evidence.

Oh, you mean your hunch about our former
employee may pay off?

It might.

Who's that? Joel McCarthy, the
transportation foreman.

You see, our transportation foreman fell
in love with long distance and never

came back.

No? Oh, that is a terrible joke.

I'm so glad I didn't say that.

Yes.

I beg your pardon, sir. I have been
asked to throw this hat down in front of

you.

And if you don't throw it out, that
woman will soon appear.

Now, I don't think I'm going to throw it
out, Charles.

And you might bring us a couple of
brandies.

Yes, sir.

Are we still partnered?

Yeah.

Are you still mad at me?

No.

Are you glad I finally told you about
Joel?

Yeah.

Your brandy, sir.

Is there anything else?

No, not tonight, Charles.

Oh, Charles, in the morning, cream and
sugar with the coffee and nothing with

blueberries.

That woman doesn't like them. Yes, sir.

Oh, great.

Connie? Connie?

Wait. Please.

I don't want to see you, Larry. I just
want to talk.

Here?

You know me.

It might be safer than if we were alone.

But you don't know me.

Not as I am now.

That may be.

But I remember the way you were.

The way we were.

I left this valley to forget about you.

And I did just that, Larry.

After a few terrible years, I might add.

But I decided to stay here after Mother
died.

I wasn't afraid to see you again.

Then why can't we talk? Be together now
and then.

I suppose you're still married.

Yes, I am.

Still two children?

Three.

They're mostly grown up.

But you haven't.

Connie, don't!

Please, I've changed.

You still want it all, don't you?

You're willing to lie through your teeth
to get it.

That's not true.

Larry, do you have a surprise for me?

Unfortunately, I only bring a few more
questions.

Do you mind?

Not at all. Come on in the office.

Connie, I could use some help with this
Scrooge here.

Oh, Chase, I was just on my way into
town to have these analyzed. I'm sure

Michelson will do the right thing by
you.

I'll remind him. Come on.

Good to see you again.

Nice -looking city you've got here.

What's that old line? Stick with me,
baby, and all this can be yours.

Isn't it nice that I can offer you the
same thing?

Do you think we're alike?

Maybe.

Except you always know exactly where
you're going.

Lately, I'm not so sure I do.

I doubt that, Cass.

I think you've got a built -in compass.

And it keeps you right on course.

Your magnetic field is playing havoc
with my compass, Richard.

No, stick around.

I've got to go.

I'll talk to you later.

How are you? Good.

He's looking for his financing back
east.

Chase is working with Hindenboyer and
Michelson.

Well, how nice that they're all three
good friends of ours.

Speaking of good friends... Richard is
the most intriguing man I have ever

known. And at the same time, the most
impossible.

I'll be glad when it's over.

I

never

thought you'd make it here, Shelley.

Where's Lorraine?

Oh, come on, Shelly. I don't care what
my grandmother says. I want Lorraine

or I'm going to leave on my own. You do
and you'll be in jail in two minutes.

Grandmother? Well, it wasn't easy
getting here without being followed.

You'd be stupid if you tried to leave.

I've come to talk some sense into you
before you do something as foolish as

decking Richard.

Not that he didn't deserve it.

Okay, what's going to happen? In a few
days, you're going to be on a freighter

on your way to Italy, where we have
family.

That's not good enough. Under the
circumstances, that is good enough for

Thank you.
