Previously on Falcon Crest. And you took this away from me! Just like you took

my son away from me! And I'm gonna get you for this!

And I'm gonna get my son back with!

Still interested?

Why didn't you stay with your mother?

Ask Richard Channing. As soon as the contractions start again, you call me.

I'm beginning to wonder how I ever got along without you. It's about Dan and

Vicki. I know, they're living together.

Living together while they're formally engaged.

Maggie.

And tonight.

Tell them we need Dr. Randall. Mom's having the baby.

We need your help.

You're a real monster, aren't you?

Where I come from, little girls were spanked for telling lies.

Oh, no, Gabrielle. They've been spending a lot of time together since you've

been gone. Then let him help her destroy Richard Channing.

Bless them!

Now! No, no, Richard, there's no time. Damn it, woman, don't just stand there.

There's no time.

Why does everything have to happen in my entryway?

How far apart are the contractions?

I already had the urge to push.

Here? Yes, here.

Now. Oh, God!

Hello?

Hello, this is Angela Channing. Yes, I want an ambulance sent to Falcon's rest

immediately. No, I'm not going to spell it. If you don't know where it is, you

don't belong in the valley.

Now, give me your supervisor.

Tell him we need Dr. Randall. I'm dealing with incompetence.

Damn it, woman, throw your weight around.

All right, stall.

Hello. Hello, this is Angela Channing. I demand an ambulance immediately.

Dr. Randall. Dr. Randall. And Dr.

Randall. Listen, young man, there is a woman giving birth in my entry hall.

do you understand me?

Right, heard on this.

I need to lie down.

Charlie.

Charlie, turn the heat up in this house and get all the blankets you can find.

Yes, Miss Channing. Right away.

Dr. Randall's not answering her beeper. I'll keep trying.

What's all the noise?

Oh, dear.

Of course, I'll hold it if I have to.

Emma, go down to the guest house and get Vicki. Her mother may need her.

I've never seen a real birth before.

If you stand there like a statue, you will. Now, come on.

Go on, down to the guest house. Quickly.

Quickly.

Did you find out?

Put him on the chair.

How are you doing?

Oh, I really have to push.

I can't wait for the doctor. Okay.

I can't wait.

Okay.

Come on.

Give me a hand.

Don't worry about it.

Wing it.

Not there, Richard.

Why is it $10 ,000?

Charlie, get more blankets. Right away.

Oh, God, let me just...

I thought you were just going to bring in a few things.

You're the one who asked me to move in.

Love me, love my clothes.

What didn't you bring?

I didn't bring a single nightgown. I hope we can stay well.

Thank you!

on her way. We need more blankets. Oh, Ms.

Whittaker, get some towels, please.

But I don't know anything about birthing babies. The towels.

Oh, Vicki.

The baby's coming.

The baby's coming.

It won't be long now.

Weren't you in the hospital?

It's all right, honey. Don't worry.

Just a few seconds now. Get ready.

It's crazy.

Why did she come here?

It's all right. It's all right.

It's all right. Now breathe out.

Out in. Breathe in.

Breathe in. Out.

Slow it down.

Slow it down.

Let that baby get some air.

That's it.

Don't push.

Don't push.

That's it.

That's it. Okay.

Where are you going?

I've got to call my dad.

Bring some firewood in, please. The room isn't warm enough yet. Ask me. It's

getting hotter by the minute.

How can we

stop this mysterious land grabber if we don't even know who he is?

Well, I've got all my contacts working on it.

Good. You free tonight?

Technology, sometimes I hate it.

Hello? Dad, thank God. I tried your home. I tried the office.

What's up, hon?

Mom's having the baby.

Well, I'm sure she's in good hands.

She's in Angela's hands. She's having it at Falcon Crest.

What? We need your help. There's no time to get her to the hospital. It is crazy

here. Please, Dad, I'm scared.

I'll be right there.

to the hospital.

Mrs. Whittaker, what's taking you so long? I don't know. I'm coming, Mrs.

Jackson. Oh, God, Richard, I can't.

I'm straight.

This place is like a zoo.

Kelly, bring that screen over here.

Thank you.

Good, Charlie.

Somebody pull the drape.

Some soft music would be nice, too.

All right, all right. Just relax.

All right, you'll have a few seconds.

That's it.

All right.

I'll get these, Mother.

What kind of music?

Chopin.

have one, Mother.

It's not fair.

Oh, I know this is upsetting to you. Let me take you upstairs.

I have to talk to Maggie. I want to suggest a few names. Well, I think she's

little busy right now.

That's what I love about you, Mother.

You're my anchor whenever I get carried away.

You know, if this baby is a boy,

I think we should call him Douglas after my father.

It's coming.

Where's the doctor?

Yes. What's she driving, a bicycle?

No. Here it comes.

This is an emergency.

You know anything about this sort of thing?

Hope it comes back.

Oh, here it comes.

Oh, God.

Okay,

now slow down, slow down.

Stop pushing.

Here it comes.

You three take over my practice.

Which one of you do I congratulate?

For a preemie, your son's in excellent shape.

He's the star of the nursery.

Can he room in here with me?

I'd rather he didn't. But we'll bring him by for plenty of visits.

I'll be back in an hour.

What is going on here?

I don't remember inviting anyone into my suite.

The last time I looked at the deed, it was my suite. I own the spa.

Mind a few small changes.

I understand you threw my concierge out on his ear.

I have no understanding what it takes to run a conglomerate from a hotel suite.

Well, I won't have you turning my suite into a war room.

Frankly, I think it's an improvement.

Well, then it's true.

You are the rudest billionaire in the Fortune 500, Mr.

Saunders.

Believe me.

It's a pleasure to be abused by the famous tart tongue of Angela Channing.

Why am I so lucky to have you at my spa?

Your international wine show, Mrs. Channing, of course.

Over there, Ed.

Then you're a connoisseur?

Of wine and business opportunities.

I already own three vineyards in the Loire Valley.

Well, I suppose that I could forgive this little mess if you'll join me for

wine and business tomorrow evening at Falcon Crest.

It would be rude of me to refuse.

But true to your reputation.

This class is full.

Oh, that's all right. I just came to warn you about a terrible new health

Which is?

Continuing to sleep with my husband.

It may prove extremely hazardous to your well -being.

to land again, yeah?

Yeah, it's good therapy.

If you ever need any help, you just call me.

I will, thanks.

You know, your ideas about increasing Melissa's yield are pretty good, too.

You think she'll see that?

Well, that's not her decision to make.

Hey, it's our land.

Dad, she's incapable of making good judgment calls.

You know, her paranoia is getting out of control. She listens in on my phone

calls, opens up my mail,

We'll just have to think of some way to help her.

She's absolutely convinced that Richard and I are conspiring against her.

That road's been following us.

Manolo, stop the truck!

I'm going to go check it out. Lance, don't.

What?

I'd rather you didn't.

Why not?

Don't confront them at all. Keep going.

Dad, is there something you ought to tell me?

Sorry, I can't.

It was baloney. I know you have feelings about Maggie. You just do a damn good

job of hiding them. Of course I have feelings. We were together 25 years, but

it's over.

Fine. You want to lie to yourself? Go ahead. Just don't lie to me. There were

problems. There are problems.

But you just had your baby.

Look, sorry to drag you out here, Chase.

We've got to stand off here. And you're the only person that Mr. Buckland would

agree to talk to.

You have the eviction papers?

Afraid so.

Can you hold him off till tomorrow? Give me a little leeway?

24 hours.

But if Buckman touches that shotgun, it's another matter.

Okay, thanks.

You all right?

Chase.

Gabrielle.

I've worked this land 17 years.

Look, I'll go by the bank in the morning.

I'll give you a personal loan.

I appreciate it, Chase.

North's got five more names on his eviction list.

Even you're not that rich.

He's doing this to us.

Beats me.

Saunders checked into the Del Oro Spa. I know that.

The Roland Saunders?

Uh -huh.

He's got to be our number one suspect.

You just take it easy, George.

I'll be by in the morning.

Find out what Saunders is doing with his time.

Take it easy.

Tastes like something...

whipped up by bored workers at a chemical plant.

Well, your choice tastes like antifreeze that's been in a rusty radiator too

long. I've been drinking the product of 200 years of master winemaking in the

Loire Valley.

And you are drinking my finest Cabernet.

Actually, I'm lying through my teeth.

It's damn good.

Of course it's good.

And you know, this bilge water of yours isn't too bad either.

Thank you for an excellent meal.

Oh, a compliment.

At last.

Of course, if you'd like to taste something a little more adventurous,

we'll have myself.

I'm sure I would find that extremely fascinating.

What would Mr.

Stavros think?

That is not our concern.

Now, tell me about this nemesis of yours.

But his name is Richard Channing.

He's a very distant relative of mine.

And he's bought the distribution rights for my wines. He's trying to put me out

of business.

How can I help?

Well, you have clout in places that I don't, such as hotels, restaurant tours,

San Francisco, Los Angeles Union.

Now, if he can't distribute his other labels, then he won't play merry hell

mine.

In return, you helped me handpick some local vineyard property.

That's a fair exchange.

You have a gleam in your eye, Angela.

I always have a gleam in my eye, Roland.

I always have every business deal thoroughly researched, no matter how

Angela thought you were the father?

She was busy trying to blackmail me when you showed up yesterday.

Apparently, she found out that you had ordered up a paternity test four months

ago.

And she's wont to do jump to conclusions.

How did she find that out? I have no idea. You know Angela.

Anyway, it gave me an idea.

If Chase won't sign the birth certificate, I'd like to.

That's a lovely offer.

The boy should have someone listed, that's all.

Maggie, I grew up not knowing who my real father was.

It's important for a child to have some kind of handle on things.

That I do know.

There'll be no strings attached, I promise you.

Hey, I like strings.

Oh, sorry.

I'll be back in the morning. First thing.

Right now, I am going home.

Tell my little boy all about your little boy.

Look at the listings I've circled. The great buy is here.

Chase, we can't accept your offer.

It's a loan.

Look, if you want to pay interest, pick a rate.

I don't think so, Dad.

I know you said you're happy here, but you can be happy anywhere.

You don't even have a kitchen.

They can eat at my table anytime they like.

I saw your car. It was nice of you to drop by.

I was just leaving.

Oh, please stay.

You don't get to see Vicki very much these days.

Your little scheme's not going to work, Angela.

A scheme?

Trying to alienate my daughter's affections.

The point is, who are you going to leave your precious land to after you're

gone? Vicki is all you have left, and she's living at Falcon Crest.

But you laugh all you like. But Falcon Crest is going to be reunited under my

roof.

Good night, children.

Oh, you're lucky, guys.

I hope you're happy with your landlady.

See you.

The nurse has said Chase came by last night and he signed it.

He just signed it.

He didn't come to the hospital with you, and he won't come to visit you.

Yet he signs a birth certificate.

Well... I've made a decision.

You're not going to like it. Try me.

I know we've just met, but I've decided to put our relationship on hold.

Because of the baby?

Yes.

You need some time to sort out your feelings.

Feelings are clear.

It's a matter with you. It's your baby.

Maybe not.

My wife was raped.

She refused the paternity test and decided to have the child no matter

I'm sorry.

Buckman saw the dozer. He squeezed up a couple of shots.

Who set a bulldozer, for God's sake?

Tuscany Land Company, the new owner.

You gave me 24 hours, North. I've got the money.

Tuscany Land Company made me stick to the letter of the eviction procedure.

I tried to call you all morning.

Do it.

I'll try to stop him.

It's too late for me, Chase.

I'll try to help the next poor bastard.

You happy?

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Actually, I prefer the Berkshires near my country home.

Are you always this disagreeable?

Life can be terribly dull otherwise.

By the way, I had my analyst do a scan of Richard Channing's assets.

There's his reputation.

His finances are a rat maze.

As befits a rat.

Actually, they're not getting involved with me.

However, since you're going to help me choose some property here, it can't hurt

to remove the vermin.

I think you're going to enjoy Tuscany.

It's such a peaceful and happy community.

With you as its prime mover, I doubt that.

What I don't doubt is that Angela's plotting to use Roland Saunders against

But now that I finally have dear little old cold -hearted Angela lined up in my

sight, I will be damned if I'm going to let her sweet -talk him into saving her

derriere. Tell Eddie to re -tip it a little firmer.

I'd also consider having it rebalanced.

It just doesn't feel right.

All right.

A good secretary, but a hell of a pool player.

I finally found Guy Stafford.

Where is he?

San Francisco morgue. Been on the slab for seven weeks. No fingertips, no

I matched them from your videotape.

Hitman, who tries to scam me before he takes out Kit Marlowe.

Same hitman, turns up dead.

What are the odds Kit Marlowe's still alive?

Tony comes and saw her commit suicide.

He says he did.

This okay, boss?

I love it.

That is, if you're into the tramp of the valley look.

Excuse me.

How are you, Melissa?

Um, I don't know.

Oh, well, the lobby looks nice. It's going to be a wonderful show.

It's a shame you're not able to show your own wine.

Yeah, well, if Lance hadn't sabotaged us, we'd have our wine by now.

my winery, not my son, not my husband, not my dream.

Let me.

How would you like to be the show's official greeter?

I don't think so, no.

Put on a fancy gown, load up on jewelry, smile a lot.

Of course, Douglas was my father's name, you know.

It's such a strong manly name, don't you think?

Actually, Emma, I'm thinking of calling him Gavin, which is, I believe, a Welsh

name, meaning like a field of the hawk.

Hawk? Falcons? I think you should stay away from the bird motif.

Emma, this is my baby.

Well, he may be your baby, but let's face it, he looks like a Douglas.

Emma.

Okay, I'll jot down a few other names.

Not on that, okay?

Please. What is this?

Paternity test application.

What do you need a paternity test for?

There's a possibility the baby may be Jeff Wainwright.

Oh, no.

Maggie, I'm sorry. I didn't know. Of course you didn't know.

If it is Wainwright's...

I'm sorry. I'm tired, okay?

Sorry, sorry.

Bye, John.

I'll go check, see how the other gang's doing.

Okay.

Why are you following my father?

Well, I'm surprised your father hasn't told you about me.

It's a shame when a family doesn't communicate.

What kind of trouble you in there? I don't want you involved.

If you love me, you trust me.

All right, he's an old enemy from my East Coast days.

We had a contract dispute and they want to settle out of court.

Believe me, I'm ready to settle.

Okay?

I know you didn't want to come here, so I appreciate you letting me talk you

into it.

Would you like to... No, was there something you wanted?

Well, I want to, first of all, thank you for signing the birth certificate.

I didn't expect you to.

I was very touched.

apologize to you.

You were right. I was wrong. I cannot live with the uncertainty of not knowing

whose child this is.

What am I supposed to do? Just accept this apology?

Come running back to you? After all, you did get what you wanted.

Chase, I have decided to have the paternity test after all.

If this is your baby, I will.

I will love him for all that he is worth, with or without you.

What if he isn't mine?

It will be the hardest thing that I've ever had to do.

But if he isn't yours, I'm going to give him up for adoption.

I don't know what I want.

Richard, I'm just... I'm confused.

You need time, Maggie, to sort out your feelings.

Maybe I'm not helping matters, but you're vulnerable.

You can't think clearly with all of this going on. You need room. I don't want

you to back away.

I'm not going anywhere.

You're hoping Chase will come around once the paternity test proves that the

baby...

Makes sense.

I don't know. It's okay. That's the case. I don't know how I feel. It's

Hey.

You're out.

Call me if you need me.

Take care of yourself.

Hello. Welcome. Have a wonderful evening.

I think this is fun.

Hi,

Dad. Hey, how you doing? Pretty good.

And, um, is that business of yours taken care of? All taken care of.

Don't forget about it, and have a good time.

Excuse me, Dad.

Have a wonderful evening.

Why don't we end this joke?

Touch me again and I'll scream.

Why don't you just leave it alone, Lance?

This is good for you.

Your show.

Barton, Barton and Sam Moritz. I hardly call your spa a world class.

I'm surprised you kept your mouth shut about Falcon Crest.

I never sold anyone's house until I was invited back a second time.

You mean people invite you home more than once?

Welcome to the Del Oro Spa.

You two make a lovely couple.

Melissa's our official greeter today.

Are you out of your mind, too?

They're Saunders.

I'm going to have a little talk with this guy. I suggest you wait until we

get him alone.

Right.

Fine.

Where did you get all these bottles, Angela?

I don't remember distributing any for this affair. Go away, Richard.

One day we deliver a baby together, the next day she won't even talk to me.

Well, since our hostess is neglecting her duties...

I'll just have to introduce myself.

Richard Channing. And this is the lovely Meredith Braxton.

I know your reputation, Mr. Channing.

Oh, you do?

Do you play golf?

No. I play billiards.

Club room tomorrow night?

Billiards?

Well, all right.

But I play for money.

Then I play for keep.

You come too, Miss Brixton?

I bet you know how to handle a cue.

As a matter of fact, I do.

See you then.

Have a good day.

You shoot pool with my enemies, and you won't improve my mood.

I'd at least like to get to know the man you want me to destroy.

Nice touch, signing the birth certificate.

What's all that about?

Excusez -moi.

Oh, pardon.

Moi, je cherche l 'enfant de mon ami, Maggie.

Il s 'appelle Douglas.

Douglas.

I'm only manning the booth, Miss Channing. I don't speak French.

Oh, what I meant was I was looking for my friend's child.

His name is Douglas. Have you seen him?

What's his last name?

Would you like for me to page him? Emma, um... Why don't you come with me?

Excuse me.

A bientot, mon bras.

Emma, look, you've got to stop thinking about Maggie's baby, okay?

I can't.

Well, it's nice to see the whole family enjoying themselves.

Oh, yeah, it's a great party.

Yeah, Eric's done a fine job.

Excuse me, I've got work to do.

Well, if you... Now, if you think this is fun, will you see what I have planned

at Falcon Crest next month? Oh, I'm so sorry I'll miss it.

You're going to miss your own daughter's engagement party?

Oh, what a shame, Jess.

All right, I know you're the mystery buyer, Mr. Saunders. Don't even deny it.

For closing, evicting. You're a real monster, aren't you?

Write it to the list of names people will call me.

You know, your Tuscany Land Company is ruining people's lives, and I'm going to

be the one to stop you.

Where I come from, little girls were spanked for telling lies.

Oh, no. No, no.

Obviously a case of mistaken identity.

I've never heard of the Tuscany Land Company.

One single acre of Tuscany land.

Excuse me.

I haven't seen you in over a week.

Not a train. I don't run on a schedule.

Melissa!

Don't catch a chill, you bitch!

Someone get that knife.

Well,

another dull party.

Is that the way to greet your father?

Listen, you here to stay this time, or is this just another pit stop? I said

be back as soon as I found something to bring Angela running to me.

What did you find?

The secret that'll destroy Richard Channing, and she's gonna have to beg

Is that... Ah, yeah.

Roland Saunders?

He's been spending a lot of time together since he was young.

Oh.

Then let him help her destroy Richard Channing.

Whoever this mystery land buyer is, I hope I don't run into the ruthless

bastard.

It does, however, turn out to be a very lucky alibi.

This phony business deal with Angela Channing is all the alibi I need for my

little deception.

He told me this was the room she stayed in.

I kept her for ten years.

Loved her, cherished her.

Does she really expect to get away from me?

Does she really think I'd let her steal my son?

There is one problem, sir.

A gentleman has discovered a real identity.

A Channing, a Richard Channing.

Quite a coincidence.

But not a problem.

You are sure you want to watch me kill her?

I just want to be there.

To say goodbye.
