Original subtitles

Tonight, on Falcon Crest. We're gonna have another baby.

What are you talking about? I'm telling you that your plan for surrogate

parenthood paid off. Robin's pregnant.

I want you out of here!

Do you understand?

I said get out of here!

Everyone knows that Chase is a happily married man.

Oh my dear, things aren't always the way they seem.

Maggie, what would you say if I told you I was falling in love with your

husband? Are you?

Thank you.

My hairdryer conked out.

Sorry I'm late.

Oh, my.

This is a busy time for me.

Well, you can't blame a girl for wanting to look her best, can you?

Melissa, you didn't insist on meeting me halfway across the county just so you

could bat those beautiful eyes at me.

I'm glad Lorraine's better.

I lit a candle for her just as soon as I heard about the accident.

I'll be sure and tell her.

Richard? Yes?

I need to ask you a favor.

Somehow I figured that.

They, uh, found out that Joel McCarthy framed Lance.

Who's they?

Greg.

Angela, maybe. I don't know.

You didn't admit anything. I didn't have to.

Greg knows someone bribed Joel. He knows who. He wants me to tell the truth.

What am I going to do, Richard? You're going to sit tight and keep your mouth

shut. Reardon's bluffing. He doesn't have any proof. You have to help me.

You're in it just as deep as I am.

And just what makes you think that?

Richard, I promise, if you let them find out that I was the one that bribed

Joel, I'll tell them that you knew about it all along.

Aiding and abetting is a criminal offense. It might not go over so well

FCC. You could lose your radio station.

Yes, maybe I could, but think what you could lose if I told them that you

approached me about having Angela killed.

You know that's not true.

I'll tell them you were out for blood, and when I turned you down, you went to

Joel. They could put you away a long time on that one. That's a lie!

Come on, huh?

For old time's sake, huh?

I think this time you're on your own.

Looks good to you.

You do.

I'm lucky to find you free tonight.

Oh, I'm glad you called.

Mother wanted me out of the house.

Any special reason?

Something's happening at Falkencrest. Big plans.

Chase and Richard are coming for a summit meeting.

And you weren't invited?

Oh, I never am.

But Mother knows that I eavesdrop sometimes.

It's the only way I can find out anything that's going on.

This meeting must be top secret.

Are you ready to order?

Am I?

Oh, you order for me.

We'll have the soup, a rack of lamb, and a bottle of the Chateau Margot 69.

Very good, sir.

I get to order the dessert.

Did something special in mind?

I sure do.

Moi.

What is this?

I'm staying in town tonight.

That's the key to my hotel room.

Was I too forward?

Oh, Emma.

If you weren't so damn ingenuous and vulnerable, if you didn't trust me so

I would drag you out of here right now.

Whatever it is you're not telling me, it's all right.

I can wait.

Sir?

That'll be fine.

Thank you, Charlie.

Anything else, Miss Channing? No, thank you, Charlie.

Well, I think we should get started.

You know, it's such a surprise to see you here, Miss Lynch. Pamela's been

covering for me the last couple of days.

I'm glad to hear that Lorraine is better.

Yes, she's doing fine.

How's Lance doing?

I see that you've inherited your mother's tact.

Folks, as much as I enjoy these friendly family reminiscences, I think we should

get on with it.

Yeah, Chase is right.

Now, we've...

Tied up additional wine growers, bottlers and truckers. We know we can

our product in the huge quantities that Helios demands.

We still don't have any storage space.

Yeah, and Helios won't accept our bid until we own all our facilities free and

clear.

What about Webster Wine and Storage?

Oh, it's just come on the market.

Why didn't you tell me?

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you had other things on your mind.

Next time I'd appreciate it if you'd let me be the judge of that.

Webster makes the worst wine in the country.

It could be converted into gasoline in five minutes.

No, it's not his wine we care about.

You could park a dirigible in his cooperage.

Enough storage space for our needs and more.

Well, I'll look into it. And if we all agree, I'll make an offer.

Oh, wait a minute.

We ought to be able to do better than Webster.

We're running out of time, Richard, and you don't want to be so far from the

main operation. Pamela, I pay you to follow orders, not to tell me what I

or what I don't want.

Richard, come on.

My driver will take you back to the office.

See you there later.

She's right, Richard. We are running out of time.

It's Webster or nothing. Now, are you in or out?

I thought Chase was here.

He's off somewhere with the crew.

Well, when you see him, would you please tell him that we're ready to make an

offer for the Webster Wine and Storage?

I will.

Felipe tells me that you and Chase have been scouting locations.

That's Chase's department, not mine.

Well, I would be very careful who saw me if I were you. They'd think you were a

couple.

That's ridiculous.

Everyone knows that Chase is a happily married man.

Oh, my dear, things aren't always the way they seem.

Maggie is a very ambitious lady, and her work takes up a great deal of her time.

I would imagine that Chase could be quite lonely.

If he were my husband, I would be a little worried.

But then, that isn't any of my business.

No, it's not.

Will you give him my message?

Of course.

Your message is very clear.

Snoopy's taking Woodstock to the tree where he was born.

Trouble is, the tree's been cut down.

Snoopy says, I remember how tall it was.

And there was one particular branch.

It had a wonderful curve to it, and all the birds used to love to sit on it and

sing. It may be gone now, but at least you have those memories.

You know that you were born and raised in a very special tree.

That's nice.

It's good to see you smile again.

It's been a long time since you've read me the funny pages.

We've got a lot to make up for.

As soon as they release you, you're coming home with me.

I know it's hard to believe now, but you're... you're going to get over this.

And, uh, you'll find someone else.

Land.

Well, he just bowled you over.

Get some sleep.

Back later.

Oh. I thought I asked you to meet me at the office last night.

I'm sorry. I had some business to attend to.

They won't let Lance see me.

I know.

He's still in the county jail.

I lost my baby.

It'll be all right.

I promise you.

I called

Lorraine. Richard answered the phone. He wouldn't let me talk to her. He hung

up.

Now, you have more important things to think about.

Lorraine is going to be fine.

Fine? Grandma, the last time I saw her, she was lying in bed, not able to move.

Will you calm yourself before they take you back to your cell?

I'll be in touch with Lorraine, Richard or no Richard, but you have to behave

yourself.

Greg is working on a new angle.

What?

Well, I can't pry it out of him.

But I guarantee you, you won't be behind bars for very long.

Oh, only seven years or so.

This office has seen a lot of changes.

First Richard, then Lance, and now you.

Well, third time's the charm, I hope.

How's Lorraine?

Well, she'd be better if Lance went in jail.

Lorraine is just one of several reasons why Lance shouldn't be in jail.

Look, Maggie, I...

I know you and I haven't exactly been chums, and, well, you might find this

to believe, but I'm really sorry about what's happened to Lance.

Why don't we sit down?

I'm sorry I haven't got the time. I'm in the process of burning my bridges.

Sounds intriguing.

What do I have to do with that?

I've discovered that Richard has been taping conversations in his office, even

mine.

Poor Richard.

There are so few people that he can trust.

Why don't we make it 100 %?

Here.

What's on this?

You'll know what to do.

Richard and Judge Holder. Some of them are grandmothers, and they might find it

hard to believe that he could do such a thing. What are you thinking of this

time? Bribing the jurors?

You're in this too deep to be cute with me, Holder.

I want a conviction.

We'll certainly account for why Holder was threatened throughout the trial.

Yeah. The question is, what do we do now?

Well, I'm working on something that I hope will pay off in a day or two. This

will come in very handy. Okay.

And I'll make some copies.

Thank you.

Maggie? Yeah? Sorry to interrupt, but a woman named Connie Giannini's here to

see you. Says she's a friend. Yeah, fine.

Send her in, Gary, thanks.

Connie's in the market for a bow. I'd ask you to stay, but Terry would kill

She's very attractive, but don't worry.

I've got more than enough to keep me busy. I'll be in touch.

Bye -bye.

Hi, Connie.

Connie, what a nice surprise. Thank you. Nice to see you. I hope you don't mind

my stopping by like this, but I had to come into town, got some supplies for

Chase, and, well, I couldn't resist the opportunity to see where an important

executive lady works. I'm impressed.

How about a cup of coffee, maybe a tour of the press room?

I'd love to stay, but I'm trying to beat the rush hour traffic.

Oh, and Chase will be waiting impatiently for those supplies, so...

Well, he hasn't been impatient with me yet. He's been very sweet.

Well, give him a little time. He's still on his best behavior.

Before 10 o 'clock in the morning, that man has no sense of humor.

And never surprise him.

Well,

I'll see you again.

Maggie, what would you say if I told you I was falling in love with your

husband?

Well, I... I don't think I feel very comfortable about the two of you working

together.

Are you?

Don't worry.

He loves you.

Bye.

Jay?

Melissa.

I, uh... I have to talk to you.

Why, sure.

Step into my office.

I'll be with you in a few minutes.

Please.

You're the only one I can turn to.

Please. I'm so scared.

I'm so scared.

Are you and Cole going to fight again?

No.

No, it's worse.

You're going to hate me.

Come on. We've been through a lot together.

I don't hate you now. I never will. Come on.

I did something terrible.

Well, let's hear it.

It was all because of Angela.

After everything I've been through with her.

Even giving Joseph up.

She disinherits me.

And she puts Lance in my place.

I'm not really happy with the divorce settlement Lance gave me.

His grandmother is pulling a lot of strings for him.

It's really too bad there isn't some way to discredit him.

Some way to make her realize that he doesn't deserve her help.

You're looking for someone to do the job for you.

Plant drugs on him, make him look bad. Whatever it takes.

For a fee, of course.

Is it worth $25 ,000 to you?

Make it stick and it's worth $50 ,000.

It'll be a pleasure.

It was Joe who was driving the car that forced Angela off the road.

I never wanted anybody hurt. I swear. Not Lance. Not Angela.

I just wanted what was rightfully mine.

And all these months, you let Lance be smeared from one end of the state to

another.

To go on trial, to lose his position at the newspaper, and you never said a

word. I was never supposed to go this far. I just didn't know what to do.

I don't know what to do now.

Much more suffering does there have to be.

Chase.

Please help me make things right.

Let's go see Sheriff Robbins.

Please.

Just give me time to...

tell Cole.

And time to see Joseph.

Do it quickly.

An innocent man is in jail.

I charged it to your account. I knew you wouldn't mind.

Come on, look happy.

It's for my... for our pregnancy.

All three of us.

I hope you don't plan on wearing that before we tell Melissa.

Don't worry. It's much too soon for maternity clothes.

I just want to be prepared.

Hi.

Hello. Look, I know you're busy. Why don't you go upstairs and finish

We'll see you later.

Oh, wait a minute, Robin.

Something's come up. I have a lot of stuff on my mind.

It's not a good time for you to stay.

You said I was welcome as long as I liked. I'm sorry.

Things are different.

Cole? Look, a couple more days aren't going to hurt.

All right, but that's all.

Go on.

Melissa, we need to talk. Cole, I have something I have to tell you.

What are you doing for dinner tonight?

I guess I'm having dinner with you.

Well, oh, thank you.

Gosh, if I'd known I was going to be treated like this, I would have come

sooner.

Have a seat.

Have a seat.

Uh -oh.

Okay.

What's up?

Well, I've got some good news and some bad news.

Great. I'll take the good news.

We can clear Lance.

Somebody's confessed to framing him. Great.

That's what... Who?

Now the bad news. Melissa.

Just when I think the worst is behind us, you lay a thing like this on me.

Is everything satisfied?

Fine.

How could you do something so stupid?

So selfish, so immoral?

I never meant for it to go this far.

To top it off, you lied to me.

Cole, promise you won't leave me. I can't leave you.

We're going to have another baby.

What are you talking about? I'm telling you that your plan for surrogate

parenthood paid off.

Robin's pregnant.

How... How do you think it... How do you think it happened?

It happened that night I slept in the winery I was drinking.

I'm not proud of it.

I'll say one thing, culture birdie.

We certainly deserve each other.

want you out of here.

Do you understand?

How could you do it to me?

You started it with your big plans for surrogate motherhood. I changed my mind.

Well, that won't make it go away.

How do we know it's your baby anyway?

We don't know where she's been or who she's been with. The little trap.

No, no, it's not true. I went away alone to make things over.

Now, you don't know what you're doing.

Now, we started this.

We're going to see it through.

Melissa, I have to advise you of your rights.

You sure don't waste any time, do you, Sarah? Oh, look, this isn't easy for any

of us, okay?

Let's just get on with it, okay?

You have the right to remain silent.

Maggie.

I'm sorry if you think I've disgraced your family. Melissa, that is the last

thing on my mind. I was just trying to protect what I thought would be Cole's

and mine one day, and Joseph's. Be careful, Melissa. Anything you say can

used against you.

What I did!

It was all Angela's fault in the first place.

You have the right to legal counsel, and I suggest you get her a good attorney

before she says another word. I talked to Greg Rudin last night.

He's agreed to represent Melissa.

Angela's going to love that.

I'm going to have to take you in now.

We're ready.

I don't want you to see this. I've already asked your father to go with me,

Greg's meeting is there. I'm not going to let you go through this alone.

Maggie.

I don't hate you, Melissa. I... I'm glad you came forward. It must have been

very difficult for you.

Well, what else can go wrong?

Stay tuned.

Cassandra, you are the one bright spot in my life right now.

Not only are you smart and beautiful

and sexy, but you

are also about to make me a very happy man.

And just how am I going to do that?

Falcon crest.

Already got a part of it, and there is more within my reach. And you can't

imagine how good it is going to feel to have my good brother on the outside

looking in for a change.

I never dreamed you were so ruthless and corrupt.

Yes, it's amazing, isn't it? How close you can be to someone and yet never

really know him.

The case may be.

I've told you my ulterior motives. Now let's hear yours.

My, we are getting philosophical, aren't we?

Can't we just enjoy the moment?

We can try.

Yeah, well, tell Delaney I have an urgent meeting, okay? And that if

comes up, you should just cover for me. Right.

Okay, thank you, Garrett.

Bye -bye.

I thought you'd be at work by now. Yeah, well, I should be. So how did it go

with Melissa?

As usual, she was arrogant, repentant, tearful, all in the same breath.

She posted bail, Cole took her home.

You ever get the feeling that parenting is like a life sentence?

Without the possibility of parole.

Thank goodness we have each other.

What?

Oh,

honey, I would love to. I mean, I would really love to, but I have this very

important meeting, and... This is important, too.

Don't do this to me, Chase, okay?

Look, I will come home early. I will make dinner with my own two little

We'll open a great bottle of wine. We'll put on the stereo. We're racking.

Well, call... can do it. I'm sure he'll want to spend the evening with Melissa.

Connie going to be racking with you?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Why?

Well, just that she came to the office yesterday and told me offhandedly

that she was in love with you. I didn't know quite what to make out of that.

Well, she's a lonely lady and a little mixed up. That is a dangerous

combination, I'd say. Don't worry your little head.

Are you attracted to her?

Oh, come on. What is this?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It's just that we... We're spending so little time together. And

we are, one of us is too tired to make it count.

I don't know. Maybe this is where marriage gets to after some...

20 odd years, or maybe I'm just feeling insecure.

I'm going to be late.

You can be proud of yourself.

It was tough, but you did the right thing.

If only Joel had just planted a little dope on Lance the way I wanted him to,

instead of going so far.

If only that jury had found Lance innocent.

How about if you hadn't tried to frame Lance in the first place?

I had to.

No, I didn't have to.

Some bad nightmare.

Please, please don't be angry with me.

Back already?

Get her out of here.

Robin. I hope you won't have to go to jail forever.

Don't get your hopes up.

I have very good legal representation and I intend to be completely

I'm glad to hear it.

Our baby needs you.

What is this?

You haven't been returning my phone calls.

I have nothing to say to you.

Either of you. I think you'd rather talk to us than have us talk to the district

attorney.

Kevin, I suggest that you tell Kevin to drive around the block slowly.

You don't want to go back to your office anyway when you've read this.

Kevin, around the block.

What is it?

Read it.

A young woman has admitted responsibility for the crime of which

has been found guilty.

You put the wrong person in jail, Judge. I'm sure you'll want to rectify that

mistake as soon as possible.

That may be true as far as the original charges go, but there's no way I'm going

to release Compson.

He's blatantly guilty of other crimes.

Jumping bail, assault, being a fugitive from justice, amongst other things.

Oh, dear, what a shame.

And there we were, Maggie thinking he was going to.

Be cooperative.

Yes, well, I'm afraid we're going to have to use this.

What are you thinking of this time?

Bribing the jurors?

Where did you get that?

Richard Channing takes all the conversations that take place in his

We have a deal.

Bribery is a very serious offense, Your Honor.

One you can't prove.

You know very well that the evidence you have is inadmissible in a court of law.

Whoever said anything about a court of law?

The New Globe has a reputation for being a bit of a scandal sheet.

A reputation I intend to change, by the way.

However, until I do, I want you to know it would give me great pleasure to do an

expose of you, Judge, that would probably send our circulation right

roof.

This is blackmail.

Take it or leave it.

I'll have Lance Thompson out of jail within the hour.

Oh, and one other thing.

I do seriously suggest that you consider retiring from the bench immediately.

You can't be serious.

Very serious, Your Honor.

Just, uh... What are you thinking of this time?

Bribing the jurors?

No, no, no.

If she's asleep, I don't want you to disturb her. I just called to find out

she's doing.

Ah.

Oh, good.

Would you be sure and tell her that I called?

Thank you.

I guess I didn't hear you knock.

Where the hell is my secretary?

I thought you'd like to be one of the first to hear.

I just ordered your friend, Lance Compson, freed.

I'm sorry, Mr. Channing. He just burst right in without a word.

It's all right, Louise.

Close the door on your way out.

Having a little trouble with my hearing today, Judge? Maybe you'd like to repeat

yourself. And maybe you'd like to explain why you taped the conversation

in this office and then were stupid enough to let Greg Reardon and Megazier

Bertie get hold of it.

any idea what you're talking about.

Where is it?

The microphone. I don't know, Judge. The wires. It's me.

The tape machine.

I'm ruined, Shannon.

Thanks to you. Hey, hey, hey, Judge.

Now, come on now.

Come on, settle down.

And I'll see you destroyed with me. Now, listen to me. You panic. You let those

two block you, so don't come in here accusing me. You're ruined. You got no

to blame but yourself.

I should never have listened to you.

I'll kill you.

Take this madman out of here. My career is over.

It's your fault.

Channing, you'll pay.

I swear you'll pay.

I'll get even with you, Channing, if it's the last thing I do.

Come in, Pamela.

How long have you worked for me?

A little over two years.

I was hoping by now I wouldn't have to question your loyalty.

Get to the point, Richard.

Why?

I mean, for God's sakes, why did you have to do it?

It's quite a library of tapes you have there, isn't it?

A record of every conversation that's ever gone on in this room, including

and mine.

Has there ever been anybody you could trust?

I never know who's going to walk through that door.

And if something happens to me, I want to make sure I have a living record of

it.

Oh, Richard.

Lance is out in the street again because of you.

And you still haven't told me why.

Because Lance is innocent, that's why. And because Lorraine needs him.

And besides, I finally came to realize that whatever I did, you'd never ever

trust me.

So why not live up to your expectations?

This is the end of the road for us.

Don't be too sure.

What's going on?

I'll let your grandmother break the news.

It's Lorraine, isn't it?

No, Lorraine is fine.

Lance, you're free.

You can come home now.

Now? Uh -huh.

Grandmother, how? How did you do it?

Well, I'm afraid that I'm not the one to thank.

We'll explain all to you in the car on the way home. When you get out of those

things, I'm sure Tuscany County would like them back.

Well, all right.

Lance Compson, do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife to have and

to hold, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you

shall live?

I certainly do.

Lorraine Prescott.

Do you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband, to have and to hold, for

richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?

I do.

You can put the ring on her finger now, Lance, as a symbol of your love.

Okay.

I now pronounce you

man and wife.

I love you.

I still can't believe all this.

It's all true.

I'm free.

And I couldn't wait another day.

You've got company.

Oh, all right, thanks.

Take small brushy back to her stall.

A little young for you, isn't he?

Oh, I don't know. You're too ordinary.

Don't we all?

So, Richard, what are you doing out here?

Oh, just thought I'd drop by to see how you are, Terry.

That's very thoughtful of you.

Actually, I'm having the time of my life.

I want to thank you for introducing me to small virtue. Oh, think nothing of

Horse training is such a wholesome activity.

Yes, isn't it now?

It's all turned out well for you, hasn't it? You got the horse, you got Greg,

Joe's dead.

Oh, you must be grief -stricken over that. Nothing more to hold over my head.

You didn't keep our bargain, Terry.

My protection for information you were to get out of Reardon.

Are you still harping on that, Richard?

Forget it. It wouldn't have done any good once Melissa admitted she was

Who told Reardon where to look for Joe McCarthy?

What's that got to do with anything?

Oh, it appears to have led to the opening of quite a few doors, including

one that let Lance out of jail.

I'm not fond of the way things have turned out, Terry.

So what are you going to do about it? Sue me?

Oh, I'll think of something.

Richard!

See you at the races.

How'd you tear yourself away from Melissa's defense?

Oh, I should do, Farron. Melissa is a friend.

Oh, you poor chap.

Where have you been?

Counselor, I stopped to get a wedding present for the newlyweds.

I'll bet.

Twin beds.

I understand it was you who engineered the wedding license.

Now, don't be a poor sport.

At least Lance is willing to make an honest woman out of her.

Look, until we get this deal settled, let's pretend we're on the same side,

okay? Well, I'm sorry you had to wait so long. Could I get anything for anyone?

Yes, that nincompoop you work for.

Thank you.

You don't wish to be disturbed.

What is she doing here?

Where's Park Webster?

Oh, he's probably on a cruise ship at this very moment, drinking his way

the Caribbean.

Why don't you all have a seat?

Okay,

Richard.

What's the game?

I don't know.

I fired her yesterday.

Oh, I learned a great deal from you, Richard, while in your employ.

Such as the...

How to make a little bit of money on the side and use it to option some good

real estate with practically nothing down.

I mean, take this winery, for instance.

You mean you control Webster Wine and Storage?

Lock, stock and barrels.

Very clever.

What's the kicker? Take a guess.

It means that we have to deal with her if we want to buy this facility. How

much?

Fifty million dollars.

Cool ten million profit for you. Not bad for two days' work.

It's highway robbery.

But I couldn't have done it better myself.

Pamela, you're not going to get away with this.

You took advantage of privileged information. We could take you to court.

Fine, sue me.

And miss your chance at hellious while you're waiting for the court date.

I'm afraid she's right.

She's got us over the proverbial barrel.

Well, my offer to bar you out still stands, gentlemen.

Oh, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Angela, but I won't be folding.

Chase?

Well, it's a high -stakes game.

But I'm still in.

Then I will amend the offer to reflect your asking price, and you'll have a

cashier's check first thing in the morning. Oh, I'm sorry, I need it

I have a plane to catch tonight.

Very well.

I must say, it's been a pleasure.

You know, my dear, I've never liked you, but I've always admired enterprising

women.

You must be feeling pretty smug.

No. Just sad.

You know, we had a lot going for us once.

Anyway, if ever you're in Stratford -upon -Avon, you must pop in and say
