Tonight, on Falcon Crest. I'm going to find a surrogate mother who would let

Cole do that to another woman.

I love it. That's good.

Yeah. You're welcome to keep that up for the rest of the night.

Lance is innocent.

This whole trial has been a travesty, and no one knows it better than you.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

Yes, we have, Your Honor.

This is Maggie Gioberti with a KRDC on -the -spot news report from the Tuscany

County Courthouse. I am outside the courtroom where Lance Compson stood

the charges of attempting to murder his grandmother, Angela Channing.

That courtroom is empty now. However, if you've been following this story,

you'll know that the case went to the jury two days ago.

Since then, the wait for the verdict has been as suspenseful as the trial

itself. And now I see Judge Holder. Judge Holder, could you please tell our

listeners, is there any word on the jury in the Compson case?

I never comment on a case.

Excuse me.

And now I'll return you to the studio, but stay tuned for further updates on

this important news story. From the Tupskinee County Courthouse, this is

Giuberti.

Enough egg on her face for a very giant omelet.

Thank you, Judge Holder.

Such a good morning, I take it.

No, it isn't, if you must know.

So Lance, he looked a little haggard himself.

That's just plain dissipation.

His bed wasn't slept in last night.

That would account for your mood.

Well, I won't have Lorraine leading my grandson down the primrose path.

Don't you think you're being a little hard on her, Angela? After all, she's

certainly proven her love for Lance, sticking by him through the trunk. Well,

what choice does she have? After all, he is the father of her baby.

She had a choice, all right.

She decided to have the baby and stand by her man. Now, not every young woman

would have done that these days, and I think you know it. Now, don't pressure

me.

All I want from you is an explanation of why there is no verdict.

I'd need a pipeline to the jury to know that.

But as a general rule, the longer they deliberate, the better the charges are

for acquittal. After hearing Judge Holder's instruction to the jury, no

rules apply.

Come on.

Not the end of the world.

You still have Joseph.

You still have each other.

It's not so bad, is it?

No. It's just that it could be so much better.

The nerve of that doctor... What was his name?

Bitters.

It suits him, doesn't it?

We're perfectly good parents, and you know it.

The fact that we were rejected by one fertility clinic does not mean that we

have to give up. We don't have to rush into it, either.

How long are we supposed to wait?

Joseph needs a little sister or a little brother.

We can find a surrogate ourselves.

Hello, Robin.

Hi. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

No, that's okay.

I'm on my way to work anyway.

Bye, babe.

Bye.

Come on in. Have some coffee.

What is that about a little sister for Joseph?

Oh, I wish.

The doctor says I can't have any more children.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Don't be.

I'm not gonna let it stop me.

Well, I don't mean to sound dumb, but what can you do about it?

I'm going to find a surrogate mother.

The baby won't really be mine.

But she'll be Cole's.

And we'll raise her together.

You would let Cole do that?

With another woman?

Not like that at all.

The doctor takes care of everything.

I don't get it.

You and Cole have Joseph.

So what if you can't have another kid?

Cole wants another baby.

Besides, everyone said this marriage wouldn't last a week.

And I want to show them it's for real.

Having another baby would shut them up for good.

How does Cole feel about another woman carrying his child?

He'll be excited enough when the baby's born.

Meantime...

I'm going to find a surrogate mother.

And Cole doesn't even have to know I'm looking.

Morning. Good morning. What's got there?

Oh, I took some samples of this year's crush.

I'm a little concerned about the blend you've been using for your champagne.

You don't mind, do you? Oh, not at all. There's always room for improvement.

Here. Thank you.

Sorry, we don't have a workspace prepared for you yet.

Oh, that's okay.

Believe me, I am very happy to have a job with a winery and working with

that I like.

Great. You know, we're very happy you're here.

Thank you.

Good morning. Oh, good morning, Cole. Sorry I'm so late.

It's okay.

Connie's just taking a look at our blend.

See, it's all Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. We might be able to come up with a more

interesting combination by adding some other still wine varietal.

What's wrong with what we're bottling now?

She didn't say there was anything wrong with it. She just wants to experiment,

try something new. I'm all for that.

I'd like to talk to your foreman, Chase. I'd like to see how far along the

latest Chardonnay is. Great. He's out on the loading dock. I just passed him

coming in. Okay.

She's going to be a great helper out here.

Wait a minute.

The champagne operation is mine.

Ah.

Okay.

Nicole, if bringing Connie in has put your nose out of joint, I'm sorry.

She's had a great deal of experience working in the champagne region of

She can do a great, great deal for us here.

I hope you don't mind my ordering for you, but I wanted our first meal

to be special.

Oh, well, it is a celebration, isn't it? What are we celebrating?

The Wilder Agency.

Mother will never admit it, but she loved the idea she sent over for the ad

campaign. I think the word she used was cluffy.

Well, your mother has very good taste.

And so do you.

I'm surprised some charming man hasn't swept you off your feet.

Well, Jean -Louis almost did.

Who is Jean -Louis?

A very elegant man.

Because he turned out to be a monster.

But I have to admit, it was very exciting while it lasted.

Then I take it you're not seeing him anymore.

Oh, no.

He's dead.

Buried alive.

It was terribly tragic, even though he was an evil person.

I'm sorry.

That must have been very painful for you.

I think the thing that hurt the most was realizing how easily I could be fooled.

I'll never let that happen again.

Are you telling me that you're afraid to trust me?

I don't mean to disappoint you, but romance just is not in my plans.

I'm sorry to hear that.

You're very lovely.

Well, if we have no future, at least we can enjoy today.

a wonderful time, Damon.

It was really special, just like you said.

I enjoyed myself too, Emma.

And thank you for being so honest with me.

I hope someday you find somebody you can believe in again.

Emma?

Hello.

Yes.

Oh, well, we'll be right over.

Yes.

Charlie. Tell Lance that Mr. Reardon called. We're leaving for the courthouse

right away.

The jury is due to come in. Yes, Mr. Channing.

The defendant will please rise.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

No, Your Honor, we have not.

The members of the jury are hopelessly deadlocked, unable to agree on a

Any further outbursts from the spectators, and I'll order this

cleared.

Your Honor.

Yes, Mr. Erden.

Since the jury can't reach a verdict, the defense moves for a mistrial.

Objection, Your Honor.

The jury has not given due consideration to this case.

I agree.

Motion denied.

Failure to reach agreement after only two days of deliberation does not amount

to a hopeless deadlock in my courtroom.

The facts before you are sufficient for a clear and unanimous verdict.

You will therefore return to the jury room and resume your efforts.

Bailiff, take them back.

Court adjourned.

Well, what do you think? It looks better than it did before. It did until his

honor said his piece.

Right feet.

Twisting 12 arms in unison without even leaving the bench.

Are you out of your mind? We can't be seen together.

You led me to believe you could steer this trial the way I wanted.

What's going on?

I've already leaned on this jury harder than I ever have before.

I can't control what happens in the jury room. Don't rush off, Judge.

I've put too much work and effort in this to see Junior squirm off the hook.

I want a guilty verdict.

It's out of my hand now. You'll just have to wait and hope it goes your way.

better go my way. If it doesn't, you'll be lucky to wind up running a traffic

court.

How's her time this morning?

Good enough to beat any filly in her class.

What brings you out here so early?

I never figured you for the racetrack gun patrol.

I had a hunch that you might have been out here watching Small Virtue working

out. Have you had breakfast?

I don't know.

Somebody tells me to be wary of lawyers bearing Danish and coffee.

That is coffee and thermos. Well, I'm not here wearing my lawyer hat.

I'm here as co -owner of Small Virtue.

ride, Billy.

Give her a nice long cool -out before you put her back in the stall.

It's your thing, Miss Ranson.

You're still steamed because I entered small virtue in that race without

consulting you first, even though she won, right?

Yes and no.

Well, the point is, Terry, you were a little high -handed in entering our

in her first race on your own.

From now on, young lady, I'm going to be part of all future decisions here.

You know, you keep saying that.

But the sad fact is you haven't had time for small virtue or me lately.

Don't give me a break, Terry. I've been up to here in Lance's trial.

And as long as you're so busy, I'm going to go right on making decisions that

affect my investment, whether you like it or not. And if you don't, that's your

problem.

And for futures, I like cream and sugar in my coffee, and blueberry filling

gives me a rash.

You said they all have too much yeast.

Compared to good French champagnes, yes, they do.

All I'm trying to show you is how we could cut back on the yeast content...

add another six months to a year in the fermentation. I'm not denying that it

would take longer. Honey, this is not France.

This is California. We have our own methods here, and they've been pretty

successful so far. But you haven't turned out a world -class product, not

You've been here, what, three days?

You're throwing your weight around like you own the place. Oh, that's not fair.

No, it's not.

What's going on? Nothing.

It's just a little difference of opinion. There's nothing little about

The champagne is my project. It was my idea in the first place. I'm not going

be told how to run it. Wait, wait.

Let's go back to the beginning, okay?

I have some thoughts on how we can cut back on the yeast. She even wants to

remake what we've bottled already.

Would it improve the product noticeably?

I wouldn't suggest it if I didn't think so.

Okay, we're here to make a world -class sparkling wine. That's why you're here,

right? And that's why you're here.

We can learn a lot from Connie.

And we can use every bit of what she has to teach us. And every bit of help she

can give us. Isn't that what we said?

No, dammit, it's what you said.

Now, hold on just a minute.

I don't want you to cause any more trouble for Connie. Is that clear?

Perfectly.

She has more experience with sparkling wine than half a dozen experts in this

county.

Ah,

what a nice surprise.

You think so?

Yeah. Uh,

can I get you anything?

A cup of coffee, some mineral water?

Oh, no, I, uh, no, I can't stay.

I, um, I just happened to be in the city, and then I saw your building, so I

just thought... Sounds really dumb, doesn't it?

Emma, you are a breath of fresh air in this office.

What I really wanted to say was that I had a wonderful time yesterday, and it

was rude of me to make you feel that I didn't trust you.

After what you've been through.

I understand perfectly.

Because I do.

You have a gentle heart.

I can see it in your eyes.

I would never do anything to hurt you.

I know.

Damon, I know it's the next day, but it's really like kissing on the first

I think that's much, much too soon.

Call me.

What did you do to that woman?

Dumb question.

Also, a dumb move on your part, Damon.

I told you, I think it is dangerous to get involved with her.

Why is your way the only way?

How come you have to always pull the strings?

We made a good plan, Damon. If we stick to it, we can bring Falcon Crest down

and Angela Channing with it.

Well, I already have one piece of information from Emma.

Angela loves what she's seen of our ad campaign.

Something we never would have learned if I hadn't wined and dined her daughter.

Fine.

Now you can stop seeing her.

If Angela gets suspicious, you can end up ruining everything.

Yes, would you bring in the Helios food reports, please?

I am not stopping.

Emma's hooked, and she's my end of falcon crest.

You know, I could almost go for her if she weren't Angela's daughter.

I'm meeting with Bradford Linton tomorrow to get the Helios Foods angle

That is the key to the whole thing, not seducing Emma.

I found my keys.

Are you ready? Almost.

How many papers are we going to advertise in?

All of them?

Except the new globe. I wouldn't want Lance to find out what we're advertising

for. I am so glad you're going with me. I may need moral support by the end of

this day.

Oh, believe me. I'm glad I can finally do something for you.

Pay you back for all the fantastic things you've done for me.

I'm ready.

What fantastic things?

Just a few old toys and clothes I didn't even need anymore.

Most of the time, I didn't even know about it.

Well, when you aren't used to nice things, hand -me -downs can make a big

difference.

I'm glad you feel that way.

I'm not sure I would have if things had been the other way around.

You mean if you were the one to wear my cast -off clothes?

Play with dolls I'd thrown away?

Yeah.

I'm afraid to admit that I would have been jealous.

To me, you were like some movie star.

Rich and beautiful.

Living in this huge old house.

I remember every one of your birthday parties.

Jealous?

I felt so lucky to be your cousin.

I think we should ask for someone with my coloring.

Don't you?

You mean, like me?

Yeah.

Then the baby would look like me.

Yeah, for sure we want the baby to look like it's yours.

Let's go.

Yeah. Let's go.

Where'd everybody go?

Oh, we closed down at 9 o 'clock when there's no night racing.

Ergo, uh...

Nobody here but you and me.

Ergo, indeed.

Yes.

Would you like a cognac?

Why not?

Cass, I really think your ad campaign is quite stunning.

Keep that up about raising my rates.

I mean it.

Everybody is impressed with the job you're doing for Falcon Crest.

Angela, Chase, me.

The three of us never agree about anything.

But we certainly do about you.

I am definitely racing my race.

Oh, well, I guess then I better stop talking business.

What shall we talk about then?

Nothing.

I want to kiss you.

Hello. Hi.

Oh, hi, Richard.

I know it's a bit late, but I have some things I'd like to discuss with you, and

I'm down at the turf club. But if it's more convenient for you, I could be at

your place in 20 minutes or so.

Oh, I'm sorry. It's not convenient tonight. Could we do it tomorrow?

You're not alone, I take it.

No, I'm not.

But you are, I take it.

I'm sorry.

Do me a favor, Pamela, and don't pity me.

Sounds as if Richard needs someone rather badly tonight.

Some nights we all need someone.

Eh, friend?

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, I hope this isn't an inconvenient time for you.

Oh, no, I just haven't felt like getting dressed yet this morning.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

I, um... I wanted to talk to you about Richard.

You know, he's very much alone now, and, well, I'm worried about him.

He's alone because he drives away everyone who cares about him.

Look, I know he's been terrible to you, but can't you find it in your heart to

forgive him?

I mean, just for a minute.

I mean, try to see Richard's side.

Even if Lance didn't run his grandmother's car off the road, he

been Mr Wonderful either.

I mean, he did take the New Globe away from Richard, and he... tried with the

newspaper to ruin Richard's reputation.

Richard deserves everything Lance has done and more.

Well, I see I can't change your mind.

Thank you for listening to me.

Pamela, you're such a loyal friend to him.

But you deserve better.

No, he's not all bad, believe me. And I know him as well as anyone.

Well, if you did, you'd see what an awful human being he is.

And nothing he can ever say or do will change my mind about that.

That's telling her, Lorraine.

You were listening to us.

Yes, I'm glad I was.

At least I know you have something between your ears besides your libido.

Mrs.

Channing, Mr. Riordan is calling. He says his jury has reached a verdict.

Well, tell him we'll meet him at the courthouse right away. I'll tell Emma

Lance.

Hadn't you better get dressed, Lorraine?

The defendant will please rise.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

Yes, we have, Your Honor.

On the charge of attempted murder of Angela Channing,

we find the defendant, Lance Compton, guilty as charged.

Clear this courtroom.

Charlie, will you make us some tea, please? Right, ladies. I'll have a

Charlie, and a double, please.

We've got to appeal, Mother.

I thought you had every judge in the valley in your pocket.

Well, I must have missed one.

Now, I'll see Judge Holder tomorrow.

After all, the sentencing is coming up fast.

Won't do any good. Judge Holder's out for blood.

I'm not going to desert Lance now.

Yeah, but he may not be after Lance's blood.

He mustn't take any chances, Angela.

I don't want you at the sentencing.

Why?

Well, I may be grasping at straws, but I don't know what's going on in that

courtroom. I want to make sure we cover all our bases.

I wanted to talk about the way it blew up yesterday.

You've got a temper, so what's new?

You were right.

I went overboard with Connie, I'm sorry.

I'll talk to her about it later on today.

It's too late for that.

Why? What happened?

I talked to her last night. She said she didn't want to be the source of any

more trouble.

So she quit.

Quit?

Hi. Hello. Just getting home? Yeah, I'm afraid so.

One of those days I'd like to forget.

Yeah, I heard about the verdict.

I'm sorry.

Oh, we're not through yet. There's still the sentencing phase. But what are you

doing? What it looks like I'm doing, grooming Small Virtue.

Now, what I mean is, why are you doing the trainer's work for him?

The trainer and I had a difference of opinion as to how Small Virtue should be

handled, so I fired him.

I see.

Just like that, huh?

Don't worry.

I'll handle all her chores until I find a new trainer.

That sounds fair enough.

You know, it just occurred to me I haven't had anything to eat since

Do you fancy a late supper?

Oh, thanks, but I'm going to spend a couple more hours here and then go home

bed. We have an early day tomorrow, don't we, small virtue?

Yes, we do.

Then I will say good night.

And I hope that the pair of you will be deliriously happy.

In the kitchen.

Hi, stranger.

What's this, homework?

No, it's the advertising presentation Sandra Wilder put together.

Not bad.

Could be expensive, though.

Have you eaten?

Oh, please, I couldn't eat a thing.

My appetite may be permanently impaired.

Oh, that's good a day, huh?

Just endless, absolutely endless.

Bulletins on the trial, interviews.

What really wears on me is feeling so frustrated about the way it turned out.

Why?

Why?

Why? Because I think Lance is innocent.

It just seems like every time a lead developed, it just dried up.

Now, maybe he is guilty.

Or maybe there was a conspiracy to get him convicted.

I'll tell you, sometimes I think maybe Richard might be behind this.

Well, I can understand your frustration.

And I've got to admit, I could be more enthusiastic about this thing if it were

anybody.

Anybody but Lance.

I assume you're here to talk about your grandson's sentence.

Well, I think it would be to everyone's best interest if you gave him a

suspended sentence.

You can't be serious.

Well, I certainly would appreciate that.

You know, I am capable of rewarding my friends.

Mrs. Channing, I advise you to leave at once, or you'll find yourself facing

criminal charges.

Lance is innocent.

This whole trial has been a travesty.

And no one knows it better than you.

Hello?

Richard Channing, please.

Fertility drugs?

We want one baby, not a basketball team.

Another loser, huh?

I can't believe all the nutcases out there. And they're the only ones

my ad. Just about had it.

It's a loose hope yet. Somebody good is bound to turn up. You think for $50 ,000

I could have the cream of the crop?

It's a lot of money.

Surrogate mothers aren't cheap.

And so far, they aren't sane either.

Well, maybe you're going about it all wrong.

I mean, have you ever thought of asking somebody you know?

Like who?

Like somebody here in the valley.

A friend.

Are you kidding?

That's the last thing I'd want.

Hello. Melissa.

Hi, Cole.

Turn on KRDC. Richard's doing an editorial about Lance. All right.

I'll talk to you later.

And was found guilty of the attempted murder of his own grandmother, Angela

Channing. Now, Lance Cumpson, this child of privilege and wealth, awaits

sentencing. No doubt secure in the belief that wealth and privilege will

mere slap on the wrist for his crime.

But I don't believe that justice should be brushed aside because the convicted

man comes from a rich and powerful family.

On the contrary, I believe, as I'm certain do the majority of my

Hello, Melissa.

What a surprise.

Well, come in, come in, come in.

How's married life?

Richard, Lance isn't guilty and you know it.

Ah, I take it you heard my editorial.

I thought it was pretty good.

Why are you making it such a personal vendetta? You know he's innocent.

Now, Melissa, if you're having moral pangs about all this...

You know what you can do?

Tell the truth.

Just tell everybody you hired Joel McCarthy to frame Lance. As a matter of

I might even be able to help you find Joel so that then he could substantiate

your story.

You know I can't do that.

Why not, Melissa?

Now, if you're afraid of losing your nerve, I'll be more than happy to get

to the DA's office with you.

As a matter of fact, we can leave right now. Yes, sirree. I'll be more than

happy to lend you any support you need.

Shall we leave now? Come on.

Yes, may I speak with Miss Wilder, Richard Channing?

Yes. Mr. Channing's on the line for you.

Richard.

You've been in my thoughts so often today.

Well, that's nice to hear.

Listen, I feel like celebrating tonight.

I know it's late, but can I include you in my plans?

Tonight.

I would love to see you, but I have to consult with an important business

contact.

Of course, sure. I'll call again soon.

We have enough sharpening to cover that. Right.

That's a good possibility.

Connie, you changed your mind?

You might say that I had it changed for me. Your son can be very persuasive.

It was my fault she left.

It was up to me to bring her back.

Seems right to me.

I'm glad.

I'm very glad.

All right.

Now, lock two is ready for bottling. You know, it might take your mind off

things that came with a super vibe.

Oh, wait. Yeah.

Just a moment.

Jay? Hello, Angela.

I was hoping that I'd find you here.

Well, what can I do for you?

Well, I've decided there's something I can do for you.

I'm going to stop fighting you over your champagne.

Why the sudden change of heart?

Well, with all the publicity the Wilder Agency is going to give us, we're going

to need all the product we can manufacture.

And with Connie here, I'm quite sure that the quality will improve.

Now, is there anything I can do for you?

Well, as a matter of fact...

Connie's been talking about experimenting with a blend by adding in

varietals we've reserved for the still wines.

Oh.

Well, then I'll just give orders for her to have access to anything she needs.

Of course, um, I expect you to supervise her. Uh, closely.

I heard that you put your old office building on the market.

Yes.

Now all I have to do is find someone who can afford a 35 -story building in

midtown Manhattan. Oh, you'll find it, and you'll make a killing. But, Brad,

that is not what I wanted to talk to you about.

No, I understand that Helios Foods is looking for a new wine purveyor.

How do you know that?

I have my sources.

I also have just the answer for you.

Are you familiar with Falcon Crest?

Sure. It's a big California winery run by Angela Chan.

Yes, well, I'm representing them now.

And they are coming out with a new generic wine to go along with the rest

their product line.

And I think that you should consider them as a possible supplier.

Oh, you're talking massive volume.

Falcon Crest is big, but not that big.

They can be, given the right incentive.

They'd have to expand their facilities.

Do they have the financial muscle to be able to pull that off?

Lenders would stand in line for the opportunity.

There's always the element of risk.

Now, if they expand and they don't get the contract, their favorite banker

find himself in the wine business.

I'm sure that won't happen.

Well, if they're willing to take the chances, I'm willing to talk.

Good.

Richard. Maggie. I'd like to have a word with you.

I've got a word for you.

Bonus.

A little token of my appreciation for your fine work on the chemical case. Now

open it.

It's hardly a little bonus, but I can't accept it. You earned it.

No, I don't think so.

And I also don't think there's anything to celebrate here or to be rewarded for.

And I really started to feel that after I heard your editorial.

So you've come in here to scold me, huh?

Not to scold you, Richard.

You are the one who lectured me about objectivity.

What, this doesn't apply to you? Is that it?

Maggie, this is my radio station. I have a right to express my opinion.

Okay, fine. Well, I have an opinion, too. I thought maybe you might want to

it. I don't think I have any choice.

Fire away.

I think the trial was rigged.

Lance says he was framed, and I believe him. And I'm going to try very hard to

prove that.

Now, if I do, I'll be more than happy to take your bonus, if you still want to

give it to me.

By the way, what were you talking to Judge Holder about in the courthouse

parking lot the other day?

I was trying to do what you couldn't do, get an interview from him.

What did he say?

Nothing.

I didn't have any more success than you did.

Come on, time to call it a day.

I'm ready.

Just give me a second to close up shop here.

Oh, boy.

Sitting in one position for a very long time gives one a very stiff neck.

Oh,

Jase.

Oh, down a little. Right there. Oh,

that's fantastic.

It will be if you keep that up for a while.

Oh.

I love it. That good, huh? Yeah.

You're welcome to keep that up for the rest of the night.

Oh, yes.

Okay. Oh, you're not quitting now, are you? Yep.

Get your coat. I got to turn out the lights and back. You know, the best

for you.

would be to go home and soak in a nice hot tub.

What's this?

You said you were wiped out. I thought you'd be long gone by now. Yeah, well,

I'm in that terrific state. Too tired to read, too tense to sleep.

What you need is your junior day relaxation.

I heard a little warning.

Where is it coming from?

What do you want, new vitamins or something?

Are you going to complain or enjoy?

The prisoner will please rise.

Lance Compton, a jury of your peers has found you guilty of the crime of

attempted murder.

Do you have anything to say before sentence is passed upon you?

Only what I've said all along, Your Honor.

That I'm not guilty.

And I swear I'll prove that I'm not guilty if it takes the rest of my life.

Lance Compson, you have been convicted of the crime of attempted murder.

It is the opinion of this court that you are a threat to the good and decent

people of this community.

Therefore, you are sentenced to state prison for the term of seven years.

Remove the prisoner.

Guards, clear this courtroom.

I hope you're satisfied, Caroline.

That sentence was much too harsh.

Then I suggest you file an appeal, Greg.

Damn right I will.
