All language subtitles for Falcon Crest s04e30 The Avenging Angel

Tonight, on Falcon Crest, you're gonna
make it, because I love you, and I'll

always be with you. Mrs.

Gioberti, do you have anything to say
for yourself before I pronounce

No, Your Honor, I don't.

I would like to address the court, if I
may.

I want her out of this house!

I can't look at her without thinking of
the two of you together.

That baby was your idea in the first
place.

Hi.

Melissa.

Under the circumstances, don't you think
this is a little reckless?

Oh, it's a cold idea. He wants me to
apologize to Angela.

Besides, I don't think she packs a gun.

How's my case coming?

I'm doing everything I can to ensure
that the judge goes easy on you. But I'm

afraid there are no guarantees.

You know, when I was a little girl, I
used to dream about becoming a nun.

I'm beginning to wish I had. It's a pity
you didn't.

Angela, I came by to apologize. I never
meant for any of this to happen.

Oh, I understand, Melissa.

Things just got out of hand, and one
thing led to another, and my grandson

to prison. I only confessed because I
couldn't bear the thought of letting him

stay there.

Well, now that you've bared your soul, I
want you to leave and don't ever come

back. Angela, what I did was wrong, but
I only did it because you cut me out of

your will. You went back on your word.

Lorraine is in the hospital.

They've lost their baby because of you.
Now, will you get out of my sight?

Does she really think I'm going to
forgive her?

Oh, you will.

As soon as the Agretti harvest comes
around again.

you have any plans this evening yes
you're only going to get upset when i

you what they are as a matter of fact
your budding romance with emma is going

come in quite handy i'm sure that angela
is simply dying to learn more about you

and i'm sure you're dying to learn more
about her what is it you want me to find

out nothing

I just would appreciate it if you would
take the entire family out to dinner,

somewhere where you can have a long,
lingering meal.

That's it? Nothing else?

Have them meet you in the city.

That'll get Chow Lee behind the wheel
and out of the house.

I don't want our Mr. Wilson to bump into
any surprises.

Since when do your plans for Angela
Channing include burglarizing her home?

I can't make another move until I get a
copy of their bid on the Helios project.

Angela is hardly going to part with it
voluntarily.

I don't get it, Damon.

When we first came here, you wanted to
bulldoze Falcon Crest.

Lately, you've been getting cold feet.

You've always taught me to be cautious.
There is nothing cautious about breaking

and entering.

You are going to do as I ask.

Or I'm going to send Wilson into the
house while they're asleep.

And then we'll just keep our fingers
crossed that your poor, sweet Emma

stumble upon him.

Webster Wine and Storage?

It's a big facility.

You bought it last week?

Mr. Linton.

Now that we've fulfilled the production
requirements, I assume that...

we've got a pretty good chance of
getting the contract.

Well, given the risks you folks have
taken, I feel that we all moat to owe

moral obligation.

I'd agree.

Well, sounds like we can start
celebrating.

Wait until Friday evening.

I'll call you with the board's decision
at exactly 9 o 'clock.

We do owe the other bidders the courtesy
of at least examining their bids. Good

night.

I'll walk you out.

Well, I guess I'm going to go, too.

Getting late.

How stiff is our competition for this
contract?

The only company we have to worry about
is Unified Soft Drink.

They're headquartered out of San
Francisco, worldwide holdings, a billion

year in sales.

Well, I wish them all the luck in the
world.

But I don't want the deal.

Of course not.

You'd much rather...

bankrupt Chase and Richard. And after
the enormous debt they incurred to buy

Webster Wine and Storage, that's exactly
what will happen if Helios turn us

down.

Well, it looks like Christmas is coming
early this year.

Now, I'd suggest a screening of A
Christmas Carol to celebrate.

But somehow I just think the ending
would depress you.

I hope you don't mind, but I took the
liberty of ordering the wine.

Alkencrest, 1978, Cabernet Sauvignon.

It's undrinkable.

It hasn't been properly cellared.

Mother, please don't scare him off
before dinner.

Why, Emma, I would never frighten off a
suitor.

Don't you just love her?

Mother is very selective about what she
remembers.

Excuse me.

May I tell you about our specials this
evening? Before you do that, you can

the wine away.

Apparently, it has not been stored
correctly.

I beg your pardon, sir.

We pride ourselves on our wine cellar.

Maybe you'd like to take that up with
the proprietors of Falcon Crest.

How do you do?

I'm Angela Channing.

Mrs. Channing, I'm terribly sorry.

I will attend to this immediately.

Thank you.

Skimmy Downs wishes you a good evening.

Please drive safely.

First post tomorrow is 1 p .m.

I'll be patient. One of you is bound to
come up for air.

Sorry.

It's closing time.

Thank you.

Oh, by the way, Richard, you can
anticipate an application for the falcon

stake. My partner has convinced me that
we should enter small virtue. Oh, that

little filly certainly has a bright
future. I just wish that I could have

my interest in her. Of course, the state
doesn't look too kindly on racetrack

owners dabbling in horse flesh.

But that didn't stop you dabbling long
enough to make a tidy profit, did it?

Come on, Greg.

Terry didn't tell you? I didn't make a
dime.

Melissa charged me a ransom for her
share of the horse, and I gave it to

Of course, that was in exchange for, how
should we say, Terry, certain

considerations. That was strictly a
business deal.

He fronted for me.

Well, that's not my style, but if that's
the story you want to tell, it's all

right with me.

It's getting late.

Just one moment.

What precisely is your style?

Well, now, I don't really know, but
those of us in the news -gathering

we like to...

cultivate as many sources as we can.

Lance Compson's trial was pretty big
news around here.

Don't do this, Richard.

I gave Terry a racehorse and she gave me
an inside look at Lance's defense.

Little tidbits like a change of venue
hearing, motions for dismissal, that

of thing.

Little tidbits that Judge Holder
anticipated quite nicely, eh? Oh, now,

That's one accusation that won't fly,
Counselor. Greg, he threatened me. I

you.

Give someone else the benefit of your
love.

I don't want anything more to do with
you.

Greg!

David, take you home.

Someday, somebody is going to stop you
cold.

I just hope I'm around to see it.

I'll save you ringside seat.

Come in, Mr. Wilson.

I expected you hours ago.

Did you get what you were looking for?

It's all in there.

I'd have been here sooner, but I had to
photograph the whole document.

Then I had to develop the film myself.

First batch came out too dark, so I had
to redo them. I run a first -class

operation.

Please don't smoke in here.

Job's a piece of cake.

Tell you the truth, I had second
thoughts about taking it.

Office buildings are my specialty.

That'll be all, Mr. Wilson.

I'll let you know if I need you again.

Anytime.

I'll get her.

Hello? Yes, this is Angela Channing.

Oh, dear Lord.

Well, yes, we'll be right over.

Lorraine is in surgery.

She's out of surgery.

Her vitals are stable, but I'm afraid
the prognosis isn't good.

There was extensive brain damage.

If she survives at all, who knows?

Paralysis, speech difficulty.

I've got to see her. No, not just now.

She's still in the recovery room. We'll
move her up to the ICU in a couple of

hours.

Oh, I stopped by the gift shop earlier
and I bought you something.

I bought you...

A lavender nightgown.

Because I know that you're gonna want to
get out of this as soon as you can.

You're gonna make it.

Because I got enough fight left in me
for both of us.

Talk to the doctor.

And he said it might be a long time
before you can walk.

Or even hold me again.

But I can wait forever.

Because I love you.

And I'll always be with you.

Would you like something to drink?
Coffee? Tea?

No, thank you. I won't be long.

I'm on a tight schedule myself. Board of
Directors meeting this morning.

Oh, that should be stormy. I've been
watching the stock market.

Unified soft drink isn't faring very
well.

The exchange rate is killing us. Our
exports have dropped off 40%. But you're

here to sell me on an incredible
advertising campaign that's going to

everything around.

Next visit.

I have something else in mind this time.

I understand you're trying to get the
Helios Foods contract.

I'd love to, but Brad Lenton said he's
leaning toward Falcon Crest.

Damn Angela Channing. I don't know how
she does it.

This isn't the first time she's burned
me.

The battle's not over yet.

If you were to come in with a better
deal than Falcon Crest, I don't see how

Helios could turn you down.

I'd need a crystal ball.

Mrs. Channing isn't about to tell me
what she's bidding on the project.

No. No.

But I am.

Have a nice day.

told me that you stopped by her office
the other day.

Made some remark about falling in love
with me. Chase, it was extremely

clumsy of me. Yes, it was.

Connie, you... This can't continue,

you know that?

Maybe it would be best if I resigned.
No, no, no, no, no, no. Your work is so

valuable, and you're a fine person.

I just, I can't afford...

Let's leave it at that.

Mrs. Gioberti, do you have anything to
say for yourself before I pronounce

sentence?

No,

Your Honor, I don't.

Your Honor, I would like to address the
court, if I may.

It was my life that was endangered, and
my grandson was accused of doing it.

Do I think I have a right to speak?

Come forward, Mrs. Channing.

Melissa came to my house the other day
to apologize to me.

She said that I had provoked her, but
she intended me no harm.

Now, I know that I can be abrasive from
time to time, and I hope she'll forgive

me for that.

But I think she's suffered enough.

Thank you, Mrs. Channing.

Hi.

Will you rise, please, Mrs. Jovetti?

I was initially inclined to sentence you
to state prison, but I've heard some

eloquent pleas on your behalf this
morning.

For conspiring to commit a felony and
obstruction of justice, I hereby

you to two months in the county jail to
be followed by a year's probation and

200 hours of community service.

You have until Saturday morning to get
your affairs in order. This court is

adjourned.

Could have been worse.

Isn't that great?

Thank you, Angela.

Well, I've kept my part of the bargain.

Your harvest for my testimony.

And you don't really have to thank me.

Oh, and by the way, you should be very
grateful you got off so easily.

Because Richard is into this up to his
eyeballs.

And wait until you see what I've got in
store for him.

And if she doesn't get him, I will.

I swear it.

It's unbelievable, Phil. I know more
about Falcon Crest than I ever wanted

With our resources, we'll blow them out
of the water. We'll have Helios wrapped

up tight.

All right, we'll go over the details
later.

What is it?

Oh, my God.

All right, let me show her in.

Mrs. Channing, what a charming surprise.

Our encounters have never been charming.
Why make this a first?

Here. Let me guess.

You're suing us.

Not this month.

That's a copy of our bid for the Helios
project.

And I want you to get the contract.

What's going on?

Don't let Falconcrest outbid you, that's
all.

How do I know this isn't some grand
deception?

Dummied -up figures to con us into
losing the bidding war.

You don't. Mrs. Channing, I've been
dealing with you for too many years to

chances. You can level with me. I'm not
some two -bit ventner you can snow with

a smile.

I have two unsavory partners that will
go belly up if Falconcrest loses that

bid. And then I will be rid of them once
and for all.

You never change, do you?

Unselfish, big -hearted, charitable.

Now, just don't cross me.

You'll find out how charitable I can be.

Black tie.

It should be black crepe in honor of the
Helios contract they are about to lose.

The one you dropped into Mark Lansing's
lap.

Why didn't you give it to him? I thought
you hated that guy.

I do.

He's slick, greedy, and unscrupulous. I
knew he wouldn't hesitate for a moment.

Except for us.

I want to see the look on Angela's face
when she gets the phone call from

Helios.

You're going to have to go alone.

Damon. This is the moment we've been
working for since we got here.

Don't tell me you've grown fond of
Angela.

Angela deserves to suffer. But what
about Chase and Richard and Emma?

All the innocent people are going to be
caught in the middle.

Chase and Richard chose to do business
with the devil.

I can't work up much sympathy for either
one of them.

Emma has resources of her own.

She'll be fine.

I like her, Cass.

Quite a lot.

She's fallen in love with me and she
trusts me. I can't betray that.

But you would betray mother.

All we've ever been taught is to hate.
I'm tired of it.

You're going to have to finish this on
your own.

Why don't you go upstairs and go to
sleep, and I'll be up in a minute, okay?

Okay, take your books.

There you go, sweetheart. You got it?

Good night, champ.

Good night.

Good night, baby.

Good night.

I haven't been able to tell him what's
going to happen to me.

It's not something he should know about.

I'm afraid you left.

What are you doing in my dress?

I didn't have a thing to wear to the
party.

I didn't think you'd mind.

You're not going anywhere.

Get out of that dress. Melissa.

Angela made a point of not inviting you.

And I'm sure Cole doesn't want to go
alone.

I don't need a date.

Cole.

I'm carrying our baby.

It's high time I met the rest of your
family.

Besides. I'm dying to see Falcon Crest.

What makes you think a tramp like you
would be welcome at Falcon Crest? Will

cool it, Melissa?

And you, you shouldn't be out partying
in your condition anyway.

I'm not going to let a little thing like
pregnancy put a crimp in my lifestyle.

I'm only going there because that guy
from Helios is supposed to call. Now you

stay here.

is the two of you together.

That baby was your idea in the first
place.

That'll make things any worse than they
already are.

I'll see you in a couple of hours.

Mr.

Tanner? No, thanks.

Because of your stepdaughter, everyone
in here regards you with great pity.

But after what you did to Lance, I have
only hatred.

You deserve whatever fate awaits you.

Richard.

Hi, Liz.

I didn't expect to see you here.

How's Lorraine?

Changed. Any verdict yet?

No.

Richard, I'm very sorry.

I know how much you care about her.

What are you doing here?

Angela invited me. My vineyard does
business with falconry. That wasn't my

question.

You could and should decline the
invitation.

I know what you must think of me.

You don't know half of it.

I had my doubts about you at first.

Now, more than confirmed them.

Richard is a monster. He was going to
destroy me.

Yeah, well, it seems as though he
succeeded.

Hi, stranger.

What's Melissa's cousin doing here?

I don't know.

And I'm not sure I want to know.

Excuse me for a minute.

I told you to stay home.

Oh, don't make me go back. Melissa was
horrible to me.

Come on.

If you want me to carry this baby,
you're going to have to protect me from

Uh, no, thank you, Charlie. Oh, please.

I see Angela's gone all out.

No better hostess than a grief -stricken
grandmother.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to
propose a toast to my partners, Chase

Gioberti and Richard Channing.

And also to their courage in going
forward with the Helius food deal.

I'm quite sure the results will be most
satisfying.

Gentlemen.

Right on time.

Chase.

Would you do the honors?

Hello?

Hi, Brad. It's Leonard.

Yeah, this is Chase.

What's the decision?

Uh -huh.

I see.

Right, well, uh...

That's the deal.

Unified soft drink, God.

Oh, God,

I'm bankrupt.

Tomorrow morning, I want you to find out
who holds the lien on Chase and

Richard's share of the property.

I'm already working on it.

And the first order of business is to
evict Chase from that mausoleum he calls

home.

Angela, I believe that that house was
left to him as part of a life estate.

know, you really can't touch it.

Well, I suppose I could tolerate him as
a neighbor, as long as I don't have to

dine with him.

But then there's Richard's share of the
property.

Well, Richard's whole empire is
crumbling around his ears.

He's borrowed up to his teeth. He's
going to lose the radio station,

even the racetrack.

Good.

We'll donate it to the Boy Scouts. They
can have their annual jamboree there.

Well, Emma, darling, you planned this
whole thing, didn't you?

You've ruined Chase, and you've ruined
Richard. You know something, Mother?

Sometimes I pity you.

You have all the wealth and power that
anyone could possibly want, and you

find anything to do with it but destroy.

Emma, I am trying to keep Falcon Crest
intact for you and for Lance.

Oh, Mother, how do you sleep at night?

Happy dreams, Angela.

I'm sure you'll rest well, completely
undisturbed by feelings of guilt,

We both will.

Because I couldn't have done any of this
without you.

Good night.

Good night.

Come into bed.

Maybe something can be worked out.

It's not lost yet.

You bet it isn't.

Shut up.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Angela
and Richard are both behind it.

I'm tired.

Tired of playing games with them.

Tired of fighting back.

The way things turned out, baby.

I love you, sweetheart.

I love you.

I do, I do.

Come here.

Please, please.

Don't put those on me, not in front of
my son.

Please.

I, uh... I promised him that I would
take him into the city before the circus

left.

Maybe you could find the time to do it?

How about it, champ?

You want to go with me to watch the
dancing elephants?

Yeah!

I love you. I love you.

Don't bring him to visit me, okay? I
couldn't bear to have him see me there.

Bye, baby.

I love you. I love you.

Just a little something to help you pass
the time.

Knitting needle.

And enough pink and blue yarn to make an
absolutely adorable afghan.

For our baby, of course.

Come on, Melissa.

Time to go.

Don't worry about Cole.

I'll take extra special care of him.

Post time in 20 minutes.

This is a strange place for a
rendezvous, isn't it?

Well, I wanted to talk to you. Falcon
crests me a little crowded at times.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the
party last night.

So am I.

Forgive me?

Never.

Emma.

I'm going to be leaving town for a
little while.

Oh.

Why are you doing that?

I just need a little time, think about
my life, decide what I'm going to do.

Oh, you have a good life. You have a
terrific job and...

Me, isn't it?

Of course not.

I care very much about you.

And I want you to know that no matter
what happens... I love you.

It's going to be hard for you to believe
me now.

That's going to be up to you.

Time has come for a decision.

As Lorraine's husband, you're the only
one empowered to make it. What decision?

There is no brainwave activity at all.

Your wife is being kept alive
artificially.

Dr. Schrader thinks that...

She should be removed from the life
support system.

She'll die.

Lance.

No way.

No way.

You're not going to kill my wife.

Give us a minute.

What gives him the right to play God
with people's lives? Listen to me. I

think that's what he wants to do.

What he's trying to do is to let God
take over.

You agree with him?

Lance, I don't want to lose Lorraine any
more than you do.

The time has come. We've got to do
what's best for her.

And I don't think that watching her
waste away in a hospital bed is the

answer.

The answer is taking her life?

If you hadn't fought us, Richard, she
wouldn't be in that hospital room.

We'd be giving you a grandson.

Damn!

Damn!

I'd take her place in an instant.

I know you would. So would I.

But we can't give up hope, then.

She's gonna make it.

She's already dead.

No, it's enough.

No.

Mr.

Compson.

I need your signature.

What a night.

You're not kidding.

I didn't get a wink of sleep thinking
about your predicament, so I came up

a solution that will help both of us.

A letter of agreement?

Mm -hmm.

Putting us in business together at my
father's winery.

All you have to do is sign on the dotted
line. The attorneys will work out the

details later. I can't let you do that.

Geez, I can't run a winery by myself.

It's not as big as Falcon Crest, but it
could be.

But the right partner.

Chase, you're a vintner. Do what comes
naturally.

Well, it's not a contract.

I'll have my attorney check it out.

Welcome to Giannini Winery.

I don't know how or if I can ever repay
you.

Well, you better think of something.

And fast.

I'd like to talk to my husband.

Um, Maggie... Get out!

Let me just explain. Look, I'm going to
have my things out of the house by the

time you get back.

Maggie... Look, I have just said enough
to last me my lifetime!

I don't want to have anything more to do
with you or your house or your

vineyards or your conniving little
girlfriend. And don't you come near me.

You know my office number. Have your
attorney call me.

That's fine with me. Now get out!

Andra?

Hello, Emma.

Anna.

Hello, Angela.

It's been a long time.

I understand you know my daughter.

What is the meaning of this?

Very simple, really.

We've just come to settle an old debt.

Perhaps she's forgotten, Mother.

Years ago, you coveted my husband's
vineyard.

You were willing to destroy him to get
them.

You controlled the reservoirs in the
valley.

You shut off all the water supply.

Our vineyards died.

Everything was lost.

Rather than surrender our home to you,
Dominic set fire to it.

He was drunk.

He thought we were still out of town.

When I awoke, the flames were
everywhere.

I could hear my little brother crying
for help.

I found him and we looked for a way out.

I couldn't get to my babies.

I was sure they were going to die.

All I wanted to do was get to my
parents, and I knew we would be safe.

Then I saw my father.

He tried to get to us, but he never made
it.

I watched him burn to death.

I was outside the house.

I tried to get back in to rescue my
children.

And I heard my husband screaming.

And then I fell.

We finally made it outside to mother,
put our arms around each other, and

watched our house burn.

That little boy was Damon Roth.

Short for Rossini, our family name.

Mother.

You killed my husband.

You took our lands.

I hold the note on two -thirds of falcon
craft.

I'm your new partner.

I'm going to make you suffer the way we
suffered.

Maggie. Richard, I... Come in.

I, uh... Uh... I just heard about

Lorraine. I'm so sorry.

She was such a... Such a wonderful girl,
and... It just...

Sorry.

Maggie.

I'm sorry.

No, it's all right.

I didn't. And these tears, they can't
all be for Lorraine.

What's wrong?
