Previously on Falcon Crest. If it weren't for the scandal and the pain

would cause your father, I would have you erected.

Is Lance really so threatened he'd send you here to take me to bed?

He'd kill you.

It was Jeff Wainwright!

He's gonna kill my mother!

No! Is there any way to treat the father of your child?

Jeff Wainwright was driving the truck you blew up. You killed the wrong man,

Miss Jones.

And tonight.

He didn't rape me.

Don't you ever go near him again.

If you were a fit father, you wouldn't have to worry about such things.

I can't go through this alone, Chase.

You're not going through this alone. I don't need a nanny.

And I've never been a nanny.

Well, then who are you?

And what do you want?

Name's Dan Fick.

Stay away from damn tricks.

Ahoy, mates.

Well?

What do you think?

Uh, I think you're a little off course. The ocean's that -a -way.

It's, uh, beautiful, but I had no idea you were interested in a boat.

Neither did I.

Joseph and I were having lunch at this marina up north, and there she was.

She was too good a deal to pass up.

Maybe it's because of that gash on your stern.

I know she needs some work, but I thought it would be a lot of fun to fix

up.

Come on, you guys.

I'm not crazy.

Come on down, matey. Let's have a cup of coffee and figure out where to stow

this rig.

Come on.

He's always been impulsive, but he's never been stupid.

Nothing stupid about it. He knew exactly how to get to you. That's because Tony

Thompson put a wedge between us.

Julia's the fool for letting him handle her affairs.

Dan Fix didn't help matters either.

He's just the spur Lance needs.

Spurred him right into Richard's arms.

Richard.

He's up to something.

And I'm going to find out what it is.

I am taking care of it in my fashion.

Your article about Dan Fix hasn't fixed anything.

Perhaps it has, perhaps it hasn't.

Last night I asked for a wake -up call.

This morning, he is knocking on my door.

That's good personal service, but I don't want to talk about it over the

I got a great idea for the second page feature.

Look, I can't do the kind of job that you want me to do.

When that damn fix is always on my tail.

Well, we'll have to get together soon and talk about that.

Cut out all the copy. Just run color photos. Make it like a regular feature.

When, Mr. Channing? Good, let's go with it. Starting tomorrow.

Thank you for your kind words.

Since when did Angela Channing have to explain herself?

Since business is down 10%. I volunteered to quit and you promoted me.

something to tell the customers.

You made me assistant manager to keep me behind the scenes.

Well, give me something to defend you with.

It isn't the customers you're worried about, is it?

You don't like being kept in the dark either.

You're going to do it your way, aren't you? To hell with anybody else. That's

how we are.

Dr. Randall, hi.

Is everything all right?

Yeah, fine.

Vicki's inside with her doctor.

How's she coming along?

Oh, I think okay.

You forgot to call for your appointment.

You know we've got to do the amniocentesis in the 14th week. I know.

the paternity test.

Maggie, I can understand why you'd want to avoid it. But the sooner we know the

facts, the sooner you and Chase can make a clear -headed decision. I know.

No, I'm going to call your office as soon as I get home.

Bye.

Great news.

Dr. Kern says I can resume normal activity. Oh, honey.

Well, you know, you've really dealt with this well. I'm very proud of you.

I know what you went through.

He was just using me to get to you. You know, I've made my peace with that.

Becky, you don't have to be strong for me. I'm not.

If you ever want to talk about it, I'm here. Mom.

He didn't rape me.

Looking better every time.

Yeah, beautiful.

To our new partnership.

You bet.

You bought this vineyard.

Let's make it your special project.

What do you think about starting a new line of brandy?

Why not?

We've got the means.

That line of credit we applied for.

Came through. We got it.

$100 million.

You think we're in over our heads?

Well, there are always risks.

But the lawyers have it squared away. Let's go for it. My grandfather never

spent more money than he had in the mattress.

Yeah, well, we've come a long way, Tony.

Vicki, right now, you probably think this is the worst time in your life.

You wonder if he'll ever get through it. You will.

Believe me.

But you've got to take steps to make it happen.

I will.

Find something new. Throw yourself into it. Something positive.

Something to capture your imagination.

Like your new partnership with Tony Cumson?

Exactly. The perfect example.

Look, like a job.

It doesn't have to be the greatest job in the world. Just something to give

life structure.

I'll start to look for something.

Honey, whenever you're ready.

Why don't you go to work for your old man?

We could find a perfect position for you at Gioberti Enterprises.

Chase, give her a little time.

We'll be in the city. We'll be working together.

It's a perfect cure.

You look so beautiful standing there.

Lance.

Hmm?

When we go to bed at night, am I supposed to forget everything that's

all day?

I do.

How can you work with Richard all day and then come home to me?

Hmm? I mean, I know that you hate him just as much as I do.

Relax. You're all tense.

What is going on? I know you're up to something. Now you have to tell me.

I know what I'm doing.

As you can see, I've worked for several prominent families in the East.

Well, Miss Braxton, I think you're about 25 years too late.

I don't need a nanny.

And I've never been a nanny.

Well, then who are you?

And what do you want?

My sister worked for Richard Channing.

Not long ago, she performed a special service for him.

Then she disappeared.

I think that something terrible has happened to her.

But didn't you call the police?

My sister's Erin Jones.

Well, that's all very interesting.

I want you to help me get a job as Richard Channing's nanny.

He already has one.

I know that you're clever enough to do what has to be done.

What makes you think that I could trust you?

I thought that you'd see the advantages of having a confidant in his household.

Richard would never hire a nanny without a complete investigation.

I've worked in the State Department and in the private sector.

I know how to cover my tracks.

If you stepped out of line, I could expose you.

I wouldn't.

We have a deal?

Miss Braxton, you'll hear from me when the position is available.

Thank you.

Why are you moving him into the house?

With an empty room, I saw no reason to treat him as a hired hand.

You're trying to get back at Lance, aren't you? Lance moved out when he

Melissa. Had a van fixed supposed to replace him? Is he going to take over

Falcon Press now? Of course not. You're always looking for an heir.

What about Julia?

Or me?

Where are my things?

I had Charlie put them in Lance's room. Well, have him move them out.

Well, what's wrong? I thought you'd be pleased.

Pleased to be used as your pawn so you can make a man out of your grandson?

Pleased to be accepted as part of the family.

But when you're done with your little project and I've served my purpose, what

happens to me then?

Same thing that happens to all of us. Either you like me for myself or I

I've taken a lot of abuse because I like you. I want my things back in the guest

house where they belong.

I'll tell Charlie.

Don't you ever get tired of rejection?

Sorting out your mother's portfolio, Lance, you really did a very good job

it. Thanks.

The check is a legal formality. You're at 2 % fee for managing your mother's

assets.

I was more than just a manager.

I'm more than just a messenger.

You wasted a trip.

Come on, don't be a fool. That's money that you've earned.

I'm not that desperate, and I'm not that broke.

What you don't seem to understand, Father, is that I don't have to count

and dimes anymore.

Maybe in time, you'll get used to that, too.

This will be in my desk drawer.

When you change your mind, call my secretary.

You can put your hands closer together.

You don't want too much fault.

I'm here to work out, okay?

Me too.

Better.

You got a problem?

I'm just waiting to use the machine.

Skyler!

Oh, hi, Tony. What are you doing here?

Ever since Lance and Melissa's party, I was hoping to run into you. Today, I

decided to stop hoping and do something about it.

Direct and to the point.

I like that.

Good.

How about lunch?

There's a beautiful French restaurant overlooking the whole valley.

That'd be lovely.

I was just on my way out for a bit.

Well, then, how about dinner?

I'd really like to get to know you.

Somebody... I don't know about someone from Palm Beach.

In a way.

Well, in that case, the invitation is always open.

Anytime. As friends.

Tony.

I'd really like that.

As friends.

Yeah, okay, friend.

Take me to the office of the New Globe in Suffolk.

I do not want you to come to this office again.

I do not like being strung along.

Miss Marlowe, the day I stop stringing you along is the day your troubles

begin. Well, your article backfired, Mr. Channing.

Angela's tried moving Dan Fix into Falkencrest. What does Peter think of

I don't think he even knows. Don't you think you ought to tell him? Well, don't

hold your breath.

I hardly see him anymore. Nobody does.

Why not?

I don't know.

He's got some sort of a problem with chemical waste in his San Francisco

He's still in the area.

Sometimes he is and sometimes he isn't.

Are you going to get that Dan Fix off my back or not?

You got a fixation.

I don't ever want to hear that name Dan Fix again for the rest of the year.

Now, Miss Marlowe, my article on what's -his -name has done more for you than

you realize. Now, I want you to go and have a nice little chat with your

But you don't even understand. I would hate to see him have his heart broken,

Miss Marlowe.

New project?

Well, I'm trying to write this article.

Oh, jeez.

I have to make an appointment for those tests.

Well, it's good to see you again. It's been a long time.

Hi. Look who I found at the front door.

Chase, we have to talk.

What's up, Mac?

Maggie. Hi, Mac. Nice to see you. You too. Thank you.

You haven't filed for re -election to the Board of Supervisors, and from what

hear, you don't even plan to run.

Let's step out on the veranda, okay?

I'll tell you the truth, Max. I really haven't made up my mind yet.

Oh, well.

It would certainly make my campaign a lot easier if I weren't the lone wolf

against Angela Channing's candidates.

Well, I've been expanding my business. I really need to focus on that.

No reason you can't do both.

The only position I'd be interested in at all is chairman.

My position.

And you're sure about to keep it, so... Is that a problem for you?

No, no, no. I'm just saying that if I were to run again, it would only be

because I felt I had a chance to be the chairman.

You run for the board. We need you.

But let me tell you something as a friend.

I will fight you for that chairmanship.

Well, at first I thought he was a jerk.

But then we started to talk and he's really nice.

His name's Dan Fix.

Oh, Vicki, no.

Oh, Mom, don't dart with me again.

You stay away from Dan Fix.

I just don't even know him. I don't have to. His name was all over the papers

while you were in the hospital.

Honey, he evidently killed a policeman. He came back here straight from prison.

Great.

I sure know how to pick him.

Ice cream's good, isn't it?

You know, your mother always complained that I spoiled you.

She was right, of course.

I just couldn't help myself.

Tell me, Father.

Were you happy then?

For a while.

You know, I think you should take more time off.

You should just walk in the park and eat ice cream. Do all those things that you

really want to do. Well, I wish I could.

Unfortunately, Eric hasn't been able to solve the problems of Starburst

Chemical. I haven't had a day off since all this started.

That must be hard on Angela.

I mean, she must really get lonely. Oh, Angela. She's used to managing on her

own.

I thought that was the reason that she asked Dan Fix to move into the main

house. When did she do that?

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you knew.

Oh, Lord.

I told you when you called, Mr. Chaney wouldn't be due back for another hour.

Oh, and I don't mind waiting.

Well, I'm not sure how Mr. Chaney would feel about that.

He's adorable, isn't he?

I just dropped by to congratulate Mr. Channing on his victory.

Well, maybe another time. I was just about to prepare Michael some lunch. Oh,

well, go right ahead.

Here, let me have him.

Well, now, you don't think I would harm my own grandson, do you?

Step -grandson.

What's the difference?

Give him to me.

Come here, darling.

Oh.

I'll only be a minute.

Well, don't rush.

We spend some little time together.

Do you have any idea what a monster your father is?

And this little piggy came home.

Thought you'd lost your mothering instincts years ago.

Hello, Richard.

You ever had any? Get out.

I just came by to congratulate you on your victory. My son is off limits to

Don't you ever come near him again.

Sabrina asked me to look after him.

Sure. I can only imagine what you said to her.

If you were a fit father, you wouldn't have to worry about such things. My

fitness is not the point, Angela.

Not for now.

Here we are, Michael.

Thank you very much for a lovely visit, Sabrina.

Sabrina.

I'm going to have to let you go.

I'm sorry, Mr. Channing.

We can go now, Charlie.

There we go.

Right, huh?

Let Daddy make a very quick follow -up, okay?

Hello,

Mr. Castle.

You, uh, still want to go to Tahiti?

You go ahead with our plan.

The point is, you offered him Lance's room.

If I don't stand beside him, who will?

It's a very admirable sentiment, Angela.

It's a pity you don't extend it to more people.

I don't think Skyler and Eric are suffering too much at the spa.

I was talking about myself.

You could have waited until I got back and asked me how I felt about it.

Mrs. Chaney, a Ronald Castle is here to see you.

Oh, yes, send him in, please. All right, now what?

Ronald Castle. is the president of Franklin Waste Disposers. I know that. I

didn't need his services, but I thought he might be able to help you. May I

present my husband, Peter Stavros.

How do you do? I understand that you're having trouble disposing of the waste

from your chemical plant in the city.

We contacted you last month. Your people wouldn't even talk to us.

Disposal sites are difficult to come by, Mr. Stavros. You can say that again.

For that reason, we instructed our people not to accept any new clients.

What made you change your mind?

Then he instructed me to contact his son.

I think his name's Eric.

Nice kid.

I hope he doesn't take the fall for this. No.

It's Angela I'm after.

All my working life, I've been taking care of someone else's garbage.

Thanks to you, I can finally get out of this filthy business.

Castle, listen.

I want to make sure...

that any life -threatening chemicals are properly disposed of at your dump site.

My wife's a slob.

My kids leave a trail of junk behind them. Anything else you can dump at the

racetrack improperly.

They'll sink in their own squalor once I'm gone. Castle, hey.

You dream on your own time, all right?

I want to know how you're handling this.

Relatively benign substances will be deposited at the racetrack.

They'll leach into the soil at the northern section of Chase Gioberti's

property.

They won't get into the drinking water supply.

But they will kill Chase's vines.

The first few rows.

Enough to get the kind of attention you want.

I want Angela Channing to get all the attention this time.

Sorry. Richard, you're always sorry. You think you can waltz in here, apologize,

and everything is forgotten. Well, it's not. No, I don't, Maggie. It's just that

now that Wainwright's dead and this whole thing is behind us... What makes

think that it is?

I don't know.

I'm just hoping you can forgive me. You have no idea of the kind of pain you

cause, do you?

It's one thing what I had to go through with that maniac, but then to have to

relive it every time I turn on the television, every time I pick up your

newspapers. You kept Wainwright a number one priority because... If you had

thought for one moment how those articles would provoke that thick mind,

my life in danger, you put my family's life in danger. It was the only way I

knew how to help, Maggie.

And I honestly felt that those articles might lead to Wainwright's capture.

Look, I don't want to get into all this. Just go, all right? Maggie,

unfortunately, I can't take back the pain.

And obviously, saying I'm sorry isn't enough, but I am sorry I made a mistake.

Maggie, I swear, I thought you'd be over the worst of it by now.

Seems harder.

Why?

That's why I'm... That's why I'm writing this. Just to make things better.

Maybe make things worse.

What are you writing?

Article, essay, therapy.

Why don't I print it in the New Globe?

Would that make any sort of amends?

Better be careful, Richard. You're in this article.

Are you going to print something that calls you what you are?

Sure. Why not?

If it's the truth.

If it'll sell more newspapers.

Well,

we're 20 bricks here.

Yeah, this weather hold.

Quarter point a day, we'll meet our picking crew early next week.

Cole? Yeah? Can you start putting together a picking crew?

What are you talking about? Harvest is at least a couple of weeks away.

No, we're picking at 21 this year, not 23.

We've done just fine waiting for the bricks to hit 23.

Tony thinks 21 would be better. I tend to agree with him.

Yeah, light is better cold. You'll see.

We got a new shipment of cooperage yesterday.

There's no reason for the extra expense of French oak.

You've always used French oak.

And we still will.

For the premium stuff.

We'll use aluminum for the generic.

stainless steel, but I think we'll be just as well.

Well, it's really coming along nicely, honey.

You see worthy in no time.

Yeah.

How'd it go this morning?

Dad and Tony seem to have everything under control.

Oh.

You know, your father's taken on a lot of new responsibilities.

He's not as patient as usual. He doesn't always listen.

But that's nothing you should take personally.

How am I supposed to take it?

Don't tell me it's just business.

If we combine the lettering from this one with the chalice and grapes from

one, it's your father's emblem.

And then we use this shade of blue for the background.

If you don't like it, I'm open to suggestion.

Do you think that I'm inflexible?

I think you're stubborn.

But I can compromise.

Up to a point.

Are we talking about the winery?

Jenna?

Or about Lance and Richard?

When someone does something you hate, do you try to ignore it to save the

relationship?

How much can you ignore about a person and still call it a relationship?

Well, no matter who you're living with, you still have to live with yourself.

You can always talk to me.

I'm so lucky to have a sister like you.

Are you all right?

I'm safe.

And I'm fine, honest.

I need to talk to Nick. Can you put him on the phone?

Sure, I'll go get him.

Hello?

How are you, baby?

Mom, are you coming to get me?

Oh, you bet.

I'll be there real soon.

I made you a picture in school.

I wanted to send it to you, but I didn't know where.

Do you like to paint?

The teacher said I was the best in the class.

I'm going to be an artist someday, just like you.

Oh, no, Nick.

Not like me.

You better.

It's pretty hot stuff.

So do you think we should go with it?

Well, it is newsworthy.

That it is.

Then I say we run it tomorrow morning's edition.

Now,

I won't put up with...

Why do you keep reading that paper if it bothers you so much?

A well -known killer continues to serve guests at Angela Channing's Del Oro Spa.

That's enough, Emma.

First of three parts.

Well, he's gone far enough this time.

Who, Mother?

Richard or Lance?

Emma. Mrs. Channing, a call from Mary Disbraxton.

Oh, yes.

Hello. Mrs. Channing, I was wondering if you'd seen this morning's New Globe.

Yes, I have.

Classified ad?

Prominent Tuscany Valley gentleman seeking nanny?

Yes. Could that have anything to do with us?

It could.

That's all I need to know.

I can't tell you how many employees have asked me why you're still here.

They asked me too.

Don't you think it's time you gave them an answer?

The warden thought I had a bad attitude.

He was going to make an example of me for the other boys.

Once you get labeled as a cop killer, it doesn't matter what the truth is.

No one cares who you are.

I'm sure some of you can relate to that.

Now, Warden Grant kept me on a real tight leash, but I kept my cool.

And I kept my eye on him every step of the way.

Now, when people ask me how a dangerous fellow like me can run a place like

this, I tell them I had the best teacher in the world.

Warden Grant ran that prison like clockwork.

Now, if any of you have any problems with my authority, you're welcome to

them.

Mr. Fick, your fancy talk doesn't scare me one bit.

I don't like working for murderers.

How many of you agree with Mr. Harwood?

I appreciate your honesty.

Those of you with your hands up are fired.

Any other problems?

Then this is my loyal staff.

Starting today, all of you get a 10 % raise.

Thank you.

Hendricks, this has to be done quietly.

The firm will buy up shares in small quantities, therefore no single investor

will draw any attention. I want at least 40 % of the stock.

You know, if you still had control of your mother's assets, this would be a

whole different ballgame.

I know, but I don't. My father does. As far as I'm concerned, they don't exist.

Lance, let me be honest with you here.

Your Aunt Emma's holding is the real key.

If you want to take the New Globe away from Richard Channing, well, you're

having to prayer without her help.

I hope you don't mind my coming this late. No.

You were the only person I could think of.

You seemed to understand me better than anyone.

I'm glad you feel you can trust me, Emma.

Skylar, I don't know what's happening to me.

I say things I don't mean. I act in ways... No, no, no, no, no, no. That are

just not like me at all.

I got so angry with my mother for wanting to have that damn fix in the

You had every right to be angry.

After Duane died, I was so strong.

I took care of everything.

I didn't even cry.

But there's nothing wrong with crying.

I thought I was finally turning a corner in my life.

Emma, have you ever thought about therapy?

I mean, it might help.

I am not crazy.

I know. I know everyone thinks I am, but I'm not.

I know, but...

I first moved to New York, I went to a therapist.

You did?

Yes, I did.

Someone I loved very much had just died.

I needed a lot of help.

So I went to group sessions once a week and, well, before I knew it,

I was able to say goodbye to my friend and just get on with it.

Maybe I should see someone.

I've come to you for help.

You've come to the right place.

I need to speak with my late fiancé, Dwayne

Cooley. Did you bring a photograph?

Now I want you to close your eyes and focus on an image of Dwayne.

Yay!

Close your eyes.

Look.

Do you see Dwayne?

Yes, Mr. Carlyle.

Good. Very, very good.

Dwayne. Maybe so, but it sure the hell isn't you, so just stay away from me. I

just asked if you were going to work out.

Listen, Mr.

Fix. I know all about you.

Someday you can explain it to me.

I've already dated a psychopath. My curiosity's been satisfied.

Look, you screwed up and everyone's on your case, right? So what?

I know what that's like.

Chase, if you don't run, the power could shift back again.

Are you telling me I'm the only person who can beat Angela's candidate?

Only the strongest.

The board has accomplished so much good.

It would be a shame to let it go to waste.

Well, I'm sure you two would never allow that to happen.

If you change your mind and run, if you win, which of course you will, we will

back you as chairman.

Hartman has always been a good friend to us.

Then it's time to put aside friendships for the good of the Valley. The good of

the Valley. You sure that's what you're interested in?

His leadership hasn't been effective enough.

Chase, I do not think this decision has anything to do with Mac or the Valley.

I don't know. I have never seen you like this before. You bet.

It's time for a change.

Does that mean turning your back on everybody who's ever meant anything to

Vicki doesn't need your... Your lectures. Cole doesn't need your

and I don't need your empty reassurances.

Look, I've done everything in my power to keep this family together. If that's

not enough for you, I can't help it.

Case, you walk away from me every time I try to talk to you. Then try being

straight with me, would you?

I have to take an ambiosynthesis. I have to take a paternity test.

Believe it or not, that's a problem for me, too.

I can't go through this alone, Chase.

You're not going through this alone.

I need more from you.

I need more than you're giving.

Mr. Channing will let you know his decision in a few days. Thank you.

Miss Braxton?

What would you do if you heard Michael crying in the middle of the night?

Go to him at once.

Stay with him until he's stopped.

I don't want him spoiled.

You don't want him neglected, either.

Are you accusing me of neglecting my son? Mr. Channing, being a loving father

isn't the same as being a competent one.

No doubt you'll enumerate my shortcomings.

I prefer limitations.

My mother used to say that you can't do everything.

She did.

You chose business.

Are you proposing that I retire?

Michael will inherit your empire someday.

If he so chooses.

I've never met a successful man who didn't want that for their son.

I think Michael has a few years before he makes up his own mind.

By then it may be too late.

The first 18 months of a child's life are crucial.

You need someone who can help you shape Michael into the kind of man that you

want him to be.

What kind of man do you think that might be?

A man with instincts like yours.

Like mine.

You're rather opinionated, aren't you?

Mr. Channing, if you merely wanted a sweet, pliant babysitter, you would have

already hired one.

Well, Miss Braxton, we'll consider this your first week's wages. No, thank you,

Mrs. Channing.

Well, you can't exist on the paltry salary that Richard Channing is planning

give you. I appreciate your help, but I don't like being beholden to anyone.
