Tonight, on Falcon Crest. What if Helios turns us down?

Puts you in a perfect position to regain total control of Falcon Crest.

Then Chase and Richard would go bankrupt.

Maybe you should just sell your interest and get out.

Get out? I mean, you could buy your own vineyard, make your own wine. It's just

not that simple. Well, I think it is that simple. It's not that simple!

What if I were to carry the baby? I couldn't let you do something like that.

Well, that's not expecting us.

Not yet.

As reported earlier, Lance Compson, Mrs. Channing's grandson, who was found

guilty of the attempted murder of his grandmother, was sentenced today to

years in the state penitentiary.

Vultures!

They made a spectacle of Lance's trial right from the beginning. The sheriff is

sending a patrol car, Mrs. Channing. Will you get rid of them, Charlie?

Maggie, I'm so glad you're here.

I have ordered all reporters off of my property.

Mother, Maggie is found. Angela, I am here as a friend.

Would a friend work for a radio station that helped convict my grandson?

I hope you are not blaming me for that verdict.

Maggie's reports have been very fair. Girls, you are excused.

I feel as badly about Lance as you do.

I doubt that.

Angela, not everybody is against you.

I haven't given up on proving Lance innocent, don't you?

Well, I guess that's all.

Thank you, Miss Freiman.

We'll get back to you. How soon?

Choosing a surrogate mother isn't something you just do. I have other

appointments set up.

Oh, one more thing.

You're not vegetarian or anything?

No. Oh, good.

I'm a meat eater myself.

I'll show you out.

Well, thank you, Mrs.

Giaberti. Thank you.

It's been a pleasure to meet you.

I'll be waiting for your call.

Thank you.

Oh, excuse me. Are you Mr. Giuberti?

Yes. Your wife didn't say anything about how attractive you are.

We'll be in touch.

I just know we could make a beautiful baby.

See you soon.

What the hell is that all about?

Cole, don't be mad, but Melissa's been interviewing for surrogates.

Yeah?

How do you know about that?

Come on. I'm family, right?

Look, nothing will happen unless you agree to it.

Just go easy on her.

Robin?

What are you doing home?

I just ran into a woman who wants to have my baby.

I know.

I interviewed her, but she wasn't satisfactory.

I could have told you that.

We'll find the right person.

I promise.

You're not mad at me, are you?

I know how much this means to you.

Just don't make any promises you can't keep, okay?

Oh. Did you hear the news?

What news?

Lance was sentenced to seven years in the state penitentiary.

I'm not interested in the Mexican delegation. I'm only concerned about my

grandson. Now, you tell the governor I'm picking up one of my markers, and I

want to talk to him.

No, tomorrow is not good enough.

Just have him call me.

What took you so long?

And where is Lance?

Out on bail pending appeal.

And the only way I could get Holder to agree was by threatening to go over his

head. Fortunately, he knew full well that Lance would be released by a higher

court. Well, I hope you're successful in making his freedom permanent.

So do I.

But right now, we have to worry about the conditions that Holder imposed.

Now, don't give me the double talk. What's the problem?

Well, for openers, bail has been increased to a million dollars.

That's no problem.

Well, what is a problem is that Lance is not permitted to travel outside Tuscany

County limits.

He's been given to the close of the working day to conclude his business at

New Globe. He set off for San Francisco as soon as he was released.

You know I wanted to talk to him. Of course I did.

What do you want me to do, bring him here in handcuffs? You know how he can

Any other terms?

Well, if Lance gets so much as a speeding ticket, his bail will be

he'll be returned immediately to custody.

Oh, and there is one other thing which I haven't explained to him yet.

Federal law requires that he file a disclosure statement serving notice of

conviction. A failure to do so could result in the suspension of trading of

Globe stock.

Any other penalties for not disclosing?

Well, it's possible that the shareholders could insist on having

as publisher.

Well, he, um... wasn't much of a publisher anyway.

Hi, Connie.

Hi, Coe.

Come on, take a break. You've been at it all day.

You're right.

I got so caught up in the cemetery, I lost all track of time.

You're just like my dad.

Sometimes I almost have to drag him out of here at night.

I can believe that.

My mother told me that Chase used to visit my dad.

And hours later, she'd find them in this heavy discussion about how to make

better wine.

My mom's the same way.

Sometimes she'll stay up half the night working on an editorial for the radio

station. They certainly seem to be happy.

Well, they have their ups and downs like the rest of us Sometimes they're worse

than others What do you say?

Back to work?

I was afraid you'd say that

Now, it's going to mean a lot more work for you, Ralph, but I don't see how else

we can do it. Don't worry about that, Lance. Even though you'll be running

things from Falcon Crest, it won't be that much different than if you were

here behind your desk.

What do you think?

That I haven't been holding my own weight around here?

No comment.

Grandma there.

Well, I thought you said Lance would come over here to finish up some

Well, we're working out some details here.

I'm going to run the newspaper from the house, at least until Greg can get my

conviction overturned.

I'm afraid that's impossible.

I have people working on it. Messengers are coming to the house.

Ralph's going to set up a teletype machine.

Now, what Andrew is trying to tell you is that until your conviction is

overturned, there are certain legal restrictions to you continuing as

of the New Globe.

What are you talking about?

Now, I'm not supposed to leave the Valley, but it says nothing about my not

being able to work.

Right or wrong, you are a convicted felon, and this is a publicly traded

company. I'm afraid it's federal law. I don't believe this.

Grandma, isn't there something you can do?

We have no choice.

Mr. Delaney, as from today, Mrs. Channing is taking over as publisher.

Congratulations, Grandma. You finally got your newspaper.

Now you pull yourself together.

Lorraine is waiting for you at home.

I'm sorry, Lance.

Mrs. Channing, you'll have my resignation.

Would you stay on temporarily, Mr. Delaney?

You tried to fire me once. Why do you want me to stay now?

Because I think you've done a good job since my grandson took over.

And I certainly wouldn't want to lose you to Richard Channing.

I'm not so sure I want to work for you.

Please stay, Ralph.

Okay? For me.

For the company.

Because I'll be back.

For you, Lance, but not for your grandmother.

I think you'd better get going.

Yes, and so should we. We have another appointment.

Oh, Mr.

Delaney, I'll be talking to you.

I wish you'd pay as much attention to me as you do this Falcon Crest deal.

I'm sorry, Brad. You want some orange juice?

No. Just a little more love and affection.

How's that?

Better.

Not exactly like old times, is it? I thought we agreed to forget old times.

That's easier said than done.

I'll never get you out of my mind, Cass.

Why do you think I'm doing all that I can to make this deal work for you?

With Falcon Crest.

I do appreciate that. You are a good and thoughtful friend.

Oh, you make me sound like an old faithful sheepdog.

That's not true. It's just that we were always better friends than lovers.

You were always just out of my reach.

We were so close, Cass.

And then you drift away.

What drives you, Cass?

What makes you so elusive?

It wasn't your fault.

I simply have too many things I must do.

They don't allow me to make a commitment to a man or anything else.

It's hard to explain.

When you're ready to make that commitment, please let me be the first

know.

Oh, Cass, what a merger that would make.

They've reached the parking garage.

Do you know what you're going to say?

She always knows what she's going to say.

Because the goals of Falcon Crest and Helios Foods are so similar, it seems

natural that you should be working together.

The Falcon Crest label would be in hotels, cruise ships, restaurants,

Helios subsidiaries all around the world.

Mr. Linton, why is it that Helios Foods are suddenly in the market for a new

wine supplier?

A better question would be, how can we win the contract?

Knowing what you know, how far would we have to expand our current facilities?

Last year, we bought 60 million gallons of champagne and wine.

That means we'd have to triple our current production.

Well, I'll tell you this going in. You're going to have to try to underbid

companies with proven track records, with personnel and facilities where they

can produce their product in great volume.

If you want to play in my league, you're going to have to own your own ballpark.

No leases, no options, no dollar down, dollar a week.

You're talking about a small fortune in cash if we have to buy facilities rather

than take options. And we're not even guaranteed the contract.

Well, if you don't expand, you can't guarantee delivery.

Well, with the exception of generic wines, Falcon Crest has a reputation to

uphold. Now, how can we do that on an assembly line?

With hard work, Mrs. Channing.

You'll have to forgive my partner. Sometimes it takes her a day or two to

the advantages of a proposal this formidable.

Why don't you come in with a reasonable bid?

We can all make a great deal of money.

And we can lose a lot.

We'll be in touch.

Good to meet you, Mr. Linton.

Is she always that abrupt?

No, that was her best behavior, actually.

Gentlemen, may I offer you a glass of wine? Thank you.

What if they don't take the bait?

Then we do it my way.

Okay. Why don't we try and get some sleep?

I'll get some sleep.

And tomorrow, everything will be just fine, right?

Lance, let me hold you.

I just can't believe it.

This morning, I get sentenced to prison.

This afternoon, I'm kicked out of the newspaper.

Baby, I can't even make love to you.

Good morning.

You're up early.

We are prepping a racehorse in case you've forgotten.

Hardly, but in case you've forgotten, we have stable hands, do we? I want to

spend as much time with her as possible. The five -and -tenth stakes are less

than three months away.

It was bad enough entering her in her maiden race, but don't you think it's

a little ambitious?

She had the mile in 1 .32 yesterday.

I have to admit, that's pretty fantastic.

Yeah, too bad you weren't around to see it.

Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't have time. You know how busy I've been.

Well, when you do have time to spend with us, we'll include you in all

made. Until then, I make them.

Okay.

Okay.

You do what the hell you want.

Good morning, Richard.

You're supposed to be thrilled.

Lance has been convicted and sentenced to the attempted murder of Angela.

Helius Food wants your business. Reared and managed to get Lance released,

pending an appeal.

Well, it doesn't surprise you, does it?

What's really the matter, Richard?

Is it, um, is Cassandra Wilder a thing too hard to get?

I want you to get me a copy of the conditions of Lance's release.

No, I just don't get it. You've won. Why not call off the dogs before it's too

late? As long as Lorraine is living at Falconcrest and Angela and Lance control

the New Globe, I'm not going to let up for a minute.

Okay. Whatever you say.

Oh, and while you're at it, see if you can get Chase's financial statement.

What's this financial statement going to tell you that you don't already know?

Oh, unless I miss my guess, this Helios food deal.

There's a chance to break him.

I never dreamed it would be so difficult.

I can't find a surrogate I like.

There isn't a clinic that wants to help me, and now Cole's dragging his feet.

Maybe he's not as anxious to have a baby as you think. Sure he is. He just

doesn't want to hurt my feelings.

I wish.

It's my fault that he and I can't have another child of our own, and it's only

matter of time before he starts hating me for it.

Melissa.

What is... Nah.

What? What are you thinking?

Robin, if you have an idea, I want to hear it.

This may sound crazy.

What if I were to carry the baby?

What? Oh, please.

It would give me a chance to do something for you for a change. I mean,

think about it.

We're more like sisters than cousins, right?

We even kind of look alike.

It would sure be having a stranger carry it.

Robin, I couldn't let you do something like that.

It would be the closest thing to having your own baby.

I don't know what to say.

You'd have to drop a contract, you know, make everything legal.

I have to think about it.

Okay.

Getting later by the minute, folks, and I do not understand what you're waiting

for. We can triple our sales overnight.

Falcon Crest is more than a business, Richard. It's a way of life. Now, you

don't want me to compromise everything I've stood for.

Amen to that.

And don't you amen me. You're just as responsible for the decline of Falcon

Crest as anyone else.

Funny, I wasn't aware of a decline.

All right, come on, you two. You've got a chance to turn things around.

Now, Helios Foods, they could care less about preserving the past, Angela. All

they want is wine and lots of it.

I'm not giving up my legacy for a fast buck.

How about a fast 30 million?

You've got an expensive legacy.

All right, Chase, think about it. You know, it only takes two of us to favor

this deal to go ahead with it.

Or two to kill it.

I haven't heard an opinion from you, Greg.

Well, according to Linton, we're going to have to expand before we can even bid

on the project. Now, if Helios doesn't accept our bid, the losses are going to

be absolutely staggering.

That's right. It's a risk.

There are no guarantees in this life, folks, but the chairman of the board of

one of the largest corporations in the world has told us he wants to work with

us. Now, that is nothing to turn your noses up at.

No, it isn't, but I don't want to go into this thing blind.

You're absolutely right.

We have to consider all the risks before we can even think about proceeding.

Now, first of all, we've got to look into the failure of the last supplier.

And we must do a thorough study of the needs and projections of Helios Foods.

And it's of utmost importance that we determine in dollars and cents how much

this expansion will cost us.

Now you're talking, brother. You're warming up to the idea.

No, I just don't want us to risk everything.

Listen, the bids aren't even due for another month.

That leaves us plenty of time to consider all the options before we have

think about any action to be taken.

That month's going to come around, Counselor, and to the rate you're going,

you're still going to be sitting here.

Now, if we're going to start buying wineries, we've got to get off our

And fast.

Hello?

Hello, Richard.

Have you been?

Don't go.

Will you come home now?

This is home.

Well, I must say, I am surprised you didn't agree with Richard just to

with me.

Oh, don't be silly, Chase. I don't like Richard any more than I like you.

Excellent. Greg?

Well?

What do you think?

You're liquid enough to cover your share of the expansion.

What's for sure about Chase and Richard?

Oh, Richard is deeply in debt.

And Chase doesn't have any assets outside of Falcon Crest.

Of course, if the deal works, you'd each make a considerable profit. And they'll

have no problem repaying their loans.

What if Helios turns us down?

I think you know the answer to that, Angela.

Then Chase and Richard would go bankrupt.

Precisely. And that would make their creditors more than a little unhappy.

Which would put you in a perfect position to regain total control of

Crest. Which I should never have lost in the first place.

Hi.

Sorry I'm late.

Traffic was just murder.

What's the matter?

Angela just called me. She's decided to go along with the Helios deal.

Well, is that so bad? I thought you said there'd be all these big profits.

Before Helios will even consider us, we've got to spend millions of dollars

expanding Falkencrest.

Angela, Richard, and I are responsible for equal shares of that cost. I'd have

to mortgage everything we own. I just don't like the idea of putting

on the edge.

Okay, well, what if you don't go along with the deal?

Oh, I've been outvoted.

I don't have any choice.

Go along or sell out.

never ends, does it?

I thought once we were through with Rebman, we could have a normal, maybe

peaceful life.

I'll tell you, it just seems that every problem that we've had since we've moved

to this valley has had its roots in Falcon Crest.

It seems that way.

Maybe you should just sell your interest and get out.

Get out?

Out of Falcon Crest. I don't mean out of the valley. I mean, you could buy your

own vineyard, make your own wine, then you don't have to play by Angela's

My great -grandfather founded Falcon Crest.

He brought the original cuttings with him from Italy.

This place is in my blood.

Darling, I understand that. Chase, I just... I'm sorry. I guess I am just

of living on the edge of disaster.

And what about you? Wouldn't you like to wake up one morning, just once, to wake

up in the morning without having to worry about being deceived or

shot at or shot down by Angela Channing? You know, I would. It's just not that

simple. Well, I think it is that simple. It's not that simple!

Makes a lot more sense to sell your share of Falcon Crest than just lose it

entirely.

Are you coming?

Yeah.

Thanks for...

calling me.

Well, well, what a surprise.

Celebrating your sentencing, Lamp?

You're lost.

Oh, now, is that any way to talk to your future father -in -law?

Let's get out of here, Lamp.

Lorraine, it's time for you to face some hard facts, young lady. Your friend

here's going to jail.

And when he does, it's just going to be you and Angela.

And my baby.

Lance is a child.

Why don't you ask Lance what Angela does to prospective heirs of Falcon Crest?

Believe me, you won't raise that child. She will.

It's not going to happen, Richard. You know why? Because I'm going to court and

I'm going to win my appeal.

No, you're just delaying the inevitable. Sooner or later, you're going to have

to serve your sentence.

Seven years is a long time. What happens to Lorraine while you're gone?

Didn't you hear what I said? I said I'm not going to jail.

I hope you don't expect her to wait for you.

Somebody else is bound to come along, and before you know it, your wife and

child will no longer be yours.

We gotta get out of here.

You both look...

But somehow I think I need to know what this is all about.

Go on, tell him.

Robin and I have been talking about us having another child.

Seems to be the only topic of conversation around here these days.

We think we have found the solution to our problem.

I can't wait to hear it.

Well...

I have found someone to carry our baby.

She's young and healthy and beautiful.

Robin Agretti.

You're joking, right?

Oh, no, I've never been more serious.

I can't believe this. Just forget it. Wait a minute, Cole.

Big deal. We want to have another child. She's your cousin. That's the big deal.

That's even better. Robin's never carried a child before.

We'd never find a clinic to go along with it.

Um... We thought... Maybe we could...

Get by... Without a doctor.

Wait a minute. You want me to... With Robin?

I've thought about it a long time.

It wouldn't be so cold, so clinical.

The baby will have a real start.

A loving start.

We really don't have a choice if we want another child.

I'm not going to listen to any more of this. Cole, where are you going? Back to

the winery. Cole, just wait a minute.

Cole, you don't understand.

It's okay.

It's all right.

Oh, I don't know.

I don't... Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.

We were having a quiet dinner when Richard came.

And I asked him to leave us alone, but he refused.

Don't you see? He provoked this whole thing. He planned it deliberately.

Can't you see how hard this is on the child? Now, won't you finish this

tomorrow? I'm sorry, but I do need to get your statement now.

What happened after you left the restaurant?

We drove back here.

Lance was still very upset.

And Angela told me to go upstairs, and she and Lance went into the study and

closed the door.

Then a few minutes later, I heard Lance's car drive away.

Did Mrs.

Channing say where Lance had gone?

No, she didn't.

Lance would never hit anyone.

Oh, I was just trying to help.

When I heard him drive away, I thought he was going to your office to turn

himself in.

Mrs. Channing, I'm certain I don't need to tell you.

that if your grandson returns or tries to get in touch with you, you have to

me know.

It goes for the two of you as well.

Thank you, ladies.

Oh, just so you won't be alarmed, we'll have someone watching the house.

Good night.

What have you done with Lance?

I want you to remember the story I just told the deputy.

Exactly. Now you two girls run up to bed.

What are you doing here? I feel so bad.

I don't want you to be mad at me.

Just forgive me. It's not your fault.

The only reason that Melissa is willing to share you is that she loves you so

much. And I love her too.

That's what makes this whole thing so crazy.

I never should have suggested it.

It's just...

Wouldn't it be nice to give Melissa the

one thing she really wants?

We'd better get back to the house.

What have you done with him, Angela?

Well, good morning to you, too. Don't play games with me.

I've heard your version of the story, and I don't believe it any more than the

DA does. I've told the authorities everything I know.

But hiding him is not the answer. Well, then what is?

Let you handle it like you handled his defense?

The way Judge Holder presided over that trial was nothing short of disgraceful,

and you know it. And that is precisely why we have an excellent chance of

throwing the whole thing, verdict and sentence, out. By that time, it... And

only Lance would learn to control his temper.

You'd be free right now to sit out the appeals here at home.

Lance is in trouble now, and I will handle this my own way.

Angela, he is bound to be caught.

And when he is, he may not be the only one who goes to jail. Now, I am telling

you, you have to make him hand himself over.

I've already made up my mind.

But if you don't care about yourself, at least think about me.

I am not prepared to stand here and watch my legal and political future go

smoke. Oh, well, we mustn't soil your lily -white reputation now, must we?

Goodbye.

Greg.

Lance is my grandson.

Now, I love him, no matter what he's done.

I know that, Angela.

But there are other ways of showing your concern. I didn't have time to think. I

thought I was doing what was best.

Now, I don't expect you to be a part of this. Well, I can't not be a part of it,

but I have to work within the law. Then go ahead and take care of the rest of

the family business and leave this situation to me.

Angela, I wish you'd just go someplace and have a damn good cry.

No stiff upper lip talk?

No.

You know, he may be human after all.

Was there anything else, Charlie?

I wondered if I should take them close to the house. Oh, no.

I don't want anyone seeing you leave this house with a suitcase. Now, if he

needs anything, then go buy it for him. And make sure that you're not being

followed.

I've been looking everywhere for you.

I was just about to come home.

I know I've been pushing the surrogate thing. I just want you to know I changed

my mind. There's something I need to talk to you about.

Wait a minute. Listen to me.

You were right all along.

We're perfect the way we are. Just you and me and Joseph.

But... Last night... I'm sorry about last night.

Using Robin was a lousy idea. I'll never bring it up again.

She, uh, decided to leave this morning.

She asked me to say goodbye and give you a... Big kiss.

Your grandmother says you must remain here until all the arrangements have

made. What about Lorraine, shall we?

You must not worry about her.

Miss Prescott will be taking care of her at Falconcrest.

When it is safe, you will be together again.

Please, Lance, do not leave this room. If you need anything, ask one of my

cousins.

What's with you today?

Oh, I've got a lot on my mind.

Oh, your food deal, right?

Well,

Angela and Richard don't seem to think so.

It certainly troubles me.

Maggie thinks we ought to sell out and start our own winery.

Remember that line that you fed me when I was thinking about selling my father's

vineyards? Being true to yourself, to your heritage.

Of course there's a heartbreak.

But what about the fulfillment, Chase?

That's what this place is all about to you.

Well, heritages have to start somewhere.

I could always launch my own. I wouldn't mind being a patriarch.

No, I want to hold on to what I have here.

Thanks for your support.

And your advice.

Just returning the favor.

Well, good afternoon.

Ma 'am. Or should I say good morning since you've been following me since I

the house?

Mrs. Channing. Hasn't your day been exciting enough?

Why don't you follow me to church so that you can hear my confession?

Because, you know, Lance may be in the confessional.

Who knows?

How did you get in here?

We have some business to discuss.

We don't have any mutual business.

Sorry, Melissa.

Wrong again.

Have a seat.

Just get on with what you have to say.

Fine.

Whilst Enrich is employed, I've learned a great deal about all you nice people

here in the Valley.

And although my work has been interesting...

Well, I think the time has come for me to start thinking about my future.

If you're looking for career guidance, you should check with an employment

agent.

Why bother when you can help finance my new life?

Why would I want to do that?

Because if you don't, I'm sure Angela Channing will pay a great deal of money

know who hired Joel McCarthy to run her off the road.

You wouldn't dare.

Shall we say $100 ,000?

Cash?

I'm not going to do anything until I talk to Richard.

What? And prompt a phone call to Angela? I doubt it.

Tell me, Melissa, how does it feel to know that Lance is going to go to jail

something he didn't do?

Get out.

I'll be in touch.

I wanted to get some fresh air. Come on, I'll buy you a beer.

You want to play some pool?

Okay, well, maybe I'll just... I'll stay here.

Hi.

How small were you?

Fine.

Greg.

I'm sorry I came on so strong the other morning.

Forget it.

Forget it. You were absolutely right. I've been very negligent. That's why I'm

here to make up.

Friends?

Friends.

You know, I mean, you should have said this before, but I'm really impressed

with the way you've taken care of her, particularly since you haven't had any

help. I have a confession to make. I only started working with a small

and excuse to be near you.

Ah, you crazy person.

It would be nice if you could spend a little time with us.

Start over again, huh?

You know, I've been trying to figure out why you've been pushing so hard to get

the Helios contract.

Care to give me any clues?

Don't you think all those advertising dollars that Falcon Crest is going to

me is incentive enough?

To say nothing of Helios Foods. I've been handling their advertising for

I kept hoping it was the opportunity to spend more time with me.

You may be right.

Have you noticed the way your associate, Damon, the way he watches Angela

Channing? I could swear he's more interested in Angela than he is in Emma.

Well, the way you keep talking about her, I would think that you were

more interested in Angela than you are in me.

Nothing.

Could be farther from the truth.

Richard.

Read my lips.

I want you to make love.

Cass.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's a bad dream.

What time is it?

Only 4 .30.

Go back to sleep.
