My little Roberta.

My little Bobby.

Oh, I'm going to be fine.

Is your room still upstairs?

Uh, the room's there. The stuff's all gone.

Oh, that's okay.

And tonight.

I saw Tony go into the winery. And a few minutes later, Charlie found Saunders'

body. Do you think Skyler killed Roland Saunders? I don't know. You've got to go

to the cops. I can't. Any chance of getting him back?

The baby.

Suppose you tell me where my child is.

I'm sorry.

Everybody's going to have to remain in the house.

I think it's a better place for it to have happened.

Where was it?

In the winery. Angela's servant found the body.

Not yet, but I will.

Excuse me. We can't type the line, sir.

Keep the front page open. I'll get back to you. Right.

District Attorney Wilkinson assured me he would be here as soon as possible.

bars have been closed for 45 minutes.

He told me specifically he wanted to interrogate all the guests before they

leave. Have you ever heard of a subpoena? Well, did you see Vicki or

I believe she was dancing with Mr. Douglas.

And then what?

I'm not sure.

I think she went upstairs.

No, thank you, Charlie.

Will we be putting people up for the night?

Oh, I don't think so.

Charlie, you had a conversation with Tony Gunson just before he left the

He was looking for Mr.

Saunders.

Well, she was looking for a coat.

He seemed to be in a hurry.

I see.

Is she alone?

As far as I could tell.

Slow down.

Vicki.

I should have knocked.

I saw Tony go into the winery.

And a few minutes later, Chow Lee found Saunders' body.

That doesn't prove anything.

Well, perhaps not.

But if Tony had returned to the party, you could ask him yourself.

Grandmother, I wouldn't have to.

The district attorney is going to be here any minute.

What are you going to tell him?

Nothing.

If... If what? You promise me you'll move back to Falconcrest.

Forget it.

Angela, are you all right? I will be when this night is over. It will be

I suppose I missed all the excitement.

If you call murder excitement.

Oh, yes. I forgot you liked the gentleman.

We missed you. I took a walk.

Why are the police here? Your shirt's wet.

I had an accident. I had to clean it.

Roland Saunders' body was found in the winery. The police think he was

What?

Who do they think did it?

I don't know.

Excuse me.

Tony Compson did not ask about Saunders. Yes, Mrs. Channing. And as far as you

know, he didn't go to the winery.

Yes. Oh,

by the way, Lance is going to be moving back to the Hockengrit.

District Attorney Wilkinson has arrived. He wants to use your office for his

interviews. Yes, Mrs. Channing, I could hand out subpoenas, but I'll tell you

what happens.

People pull themselves together and figure out what they should have done

what should have happened.

Besides, it's so inconvenient for you and your friends to have to come all the

way down to the police station.

That's a very good point.

Now, shall we proceed?

Look, Mrs. Channing, I am fully aware that you don't have very much respect

me. Maybe nobody in this valley does.

But for the first time in 17 years, I've got a case that's worthy of me. What

were you going to ask me?

About this little shindig you threw.

It's an engagement party for my great -niece and her fiancé.

Was there anybody there who didn't belong?

Well, I didn't invite Richard Channing.

Then why did you show up?

Oh, I just wanted to thank Angela for completing her delivery of Falcon Crest

wines. At a party you weren't invited to?

She and I have never stood on ceremony.

Was Roland Saunders involved in your business with Mrs. Channing?

I barely knew the man.

Although, from what I understand, he and Angela had been spending a good deal of

time together.

How'd you feel about that?

There was no love lost between myself and Roland Saunders.

Because of his relationship with your wife?

Mostly.

Mostly?

In all candor, I was tempted more than once to knock his head in.

But if I'd really been serious about it, I'd have destroyed him financially.

That was the only way to hurt him.

You arrived at the party late.

They just found Saunders' body.

What? He was already dead.

Did you see anyone near the winery before you went in?

No.

Did you notice anything unusual?

No.

During the night, were you aware of any hostility, any fights involving Roland

Saunders? No.

Are you sure about that?

He and Tony had an argument.

And then what?

So I took him for a walk to cool down. I was with him the whole time.

And your wife?

She left the party earlier.

Why'd your father argue with Roland Saunders?

It was just a personal matter.

You were fighting over a woman.

She's married.

And you can't tell me who she was.

What happened to your shirt?

I spilled some wine on it.

Kind of clumsy of you, wasn't it?

What else is new? You left the party. How long were you gone?

Exactly, I don't know. I just took a walk.

Where'd you walk to?

Nowhere specific. A walk on the grounds.

Were you with anyone? Did anybody see you?

No, I was alone.

Alone? That's what I said.

Oh, come in, please.

I can't stay long.

I hoped you had some information.

Well, I came to see how you are. I remember how I felt when it was my

guess I came to say I wish I could help. Then why don't you?

Well, you know why.

Look, I will do all the legwork. I will talk to whoever has to be spoken to.

Well, I only have the name of their lawyer. Well, that's enough.

Well, I can't open my files to you.

If you could just give me some indication.

Well, my papers are so disorganized, I'm not even sure yours are in the second

drawer of the cabinet behind my desk.

What?

And even if the office is unlocked, the night watchman passes by every 20

minutes.

So you'd have to work fast.

Come in.

Is this a bad time?

No, I was about to call you. Have a seat.

I talked to my lawyer.

What did he say?

He thinks we have a strong case if we want to go to court.

We have to sue the hospital first.

How long will that take?

Maybe a couple of years.

Francine Hope came to see me this morning.

Almost started the murder weapon, but we're still looking.

Yeah.

That's the guy Saunders?

Same brand as those in his jacket pocket.

Doesn't seem to be any sign of a struggle.

You're so certain. The preliminary coroner's report indicates cause of

trauma to the skull. It could have fallen down, could have been hit.

God knows enough people had motive, and almost anybody at the party had

opportunity. They're covering up. But not good enough. There are too many

inconsistencies in Tony Compson's story.

There's no hard evidence.

Yeah, that's the problem.

I thought I heard you come in.

Oh, I'm sorry, Lance, but I really don't have any time to talk.

Whoa. I missed you last night. Where did you go?

For a drive.

All night?

Uh... Lance... I really don't trust myself in crowds anymore.

And I don't ever want to embarrass you again, so I left the party early.

Are you angry at me? No, I'm not angry.

Well, it's just...

I need some time alone to sort things out, to find out who I am. Are you

something from me?

No. Have you met someone? If you have, I understand.

You'd want to start a life with him.

There is no one else but you, Lance.

I'm committed to this marriage, and I wouldn't let anything or anyone destroy

it.

Surprise.

Richard. Hi.

Hi. Come in, come in. These are for you. Oh, they're lovely.

Thank you. It's very sweet.

Meredith said that you seemed upset when you left last night, so... I believe I

made such a fool of myself. Hey, the way Emma was talking about her child,

anyone would have made the same mistake. I know, but does it always have to be

at Angela's party? I can assure you that no one remembers.

You were upstaged by a murder most foul.

Something else, isn't it?

No.

They were the mix -up in the blood test.

The baby is Chase's.

It's a hell of a mix -up.

Any chance of getting him back?

The baby?

Well, that may be very difficult, but I think we're going to be able to get the

name of the other attorney, and we'll take it from there.

Chase is getting that information now.

He should be here any minute.

I won't stay.

Do you like my bracelet?

Look how pretty.

Yes.

Yeah. Pretty diamond, sweetheart.

You know what?

I'm going to give you everything you want.

Yeah, yeah. Because I love you.

I love you so much.

Where have you been?

Been looking for you all day.

You ever plan to explain to me what happened?

I got drunk. It was a party. In honor of our engagement. Which you refused to

attend. So I'm at fault. It wouldn't have happened if you were there.

I want you to move out. Because of one little thing.

Look, I stayed with Suzanne long after I should have walked away. I had so much

invested in it, I didn't know what it was doing to me. I am not Suzanne.

damn right you're not!

Haven't you done worse?

Don't try and throw your guilt off on me.

It was no accident that it happened at our engagement party.

You couldn't go through with it, could you?

Well, just because I understand you does not mean I have to live with it.

Before I took steroids.

Hey, don't quit your day job.

This Israeli girl came up to me the other day and asked me to go out and I

I couldn't go out when the woman had more combat experience than I've had.

Hey, you can't get any dates. Don't you stink?

Hey, I don't come down to McDonald's and tell you how to fry ham.

Next performer is the newcomer to the safari room, Veronique, the slumming

socialite. Come on up, honey.

And yes, the gown is real.

And yes, everything else is real.

gave mine to you.

And she broke it in little.

Coming to you.

I don't want you overexerting yourself.

You're going to come back from Los Angeles flat on your back. And who do

think is going to take care of you?

Me?

The fact that I'm going with my wife doesn't figure into it, of course.

I'm not crazy about it.

But she is your wife.

I know this is very important to you.

Yes, I am jealous. And I'm glad. And you want to know why?

Because it means I finally allow myself to care about you.

But I'm not going to allow myself to get run over by a steamroller.

We're going to Los Angeles.

We're going to see a lawyer.

We'll be back tomorrow.

Will you leave me a number where I can reach you?

Good thing, man. Of course I will.

You'll take care of yourself.

and bacon for Wendell.

Chicken salad with grilled onions for Vince.

And tuna fish with curry for me.

I tell you, this is a whole lot better than eating at a restaurant, huh?

Wendell, something wrong with your sandwich?

How long have the two of you been together?

Vince and I have only been married a short time, but I feel like we've known

each other for lifetimes.

What happened? happens when he walks out on you.

Why would you say that?

They can let you keep me.

Hey, Emma and I love each other a whole bunch.

That's what they always say.

Wendell, no matter what, I promise I will never get rid of you.

Why did you pick a black kid?

I didn't.

Well, it would have been a lot easier if you'd been white. And I'm not so sure

that growing up like this is the easiest thing for you either in the long run.

But Father Bob told me how long you'd been alone. And finally, it seemed that

having someone wonderful like you to care for and love and give everything I

to was more important than black or white or any of that.

You know what?

You're really an incredible mother.

In fact, I wish I had one just like you.

Me too.

Come on.

Mrs. Stryker?

Mrs. Stryker, please, if you could just listen to us. Listen to me. I agreed to

have lunch with you to discuss a legal matter. If I had known ahead of time

this was all about... We know you arranged the adoption of our baby.

That was a double -blind adoption. Under highly unusual circumstances, the tests

were mixed up.

I'm sorry.

Any disclosure would be a serious breach of ethics.

Now, if we take this to court, you'll find out exactly how serious it can be.

don't think you want to do that.

If you could just connect us to the adoptive parents, we could discuss this

them. I'm... Don't go away. I'll be right back.

Mr. Strachan, do you have any children?

No.

Well, if you did, I think you'd understand that I would do anything to

baby back.

Well, listen,

I would love to be able to help you. At this point, you are the only one who

can.

How long are you going to be staying in L .A.? Overnight, but we could stay

longer if we had to.

Maybe we should discuss this a little further.

Yes.

Just the two of us.

Alone.

Where are you staying?

The Belmar Hotel.

Look, Dad, my marriage is probably over.

I promised Angela I'd move back to Falcon Crest for God's sake, so tell me.

What am I covering for?

You can't go back to Angela. Okay, she said she saw you enter the water before

they found Roland Sonner's body. Is that true?

Yeah. Charlie said you were looking for him, right?

I was. I told the police I was with you the whole time. Stay out of this, Lance.

Don't get involved.

I am involved in this.

Ever since you came back to the Valley, you've been screwing things up all over

again. Don't say that.

Just give me some time, will you?

Dad.

Did you kill Roland Saunders? No.

Don't lie to me.

I'll cover for you.

But you've got to tell me the truth.

Kill him? I found him.

Right on the floor of the winery. I tried to help him.

It was too late.

Why didn't you go back to the house?

I couldn't. Why not? Because I couldn't. Because you killed him.

Because I had to find Skylar.

Skylar Kimball?

Skylar Kimball's dead. No, Lance.

You gotta promise not to tell anybody. I mean, you gotta promise.

Scarlett didn't commit suicide.

Saunders' men tried to kill her.

She just barely escaped.

The whole suicide story was just a cover.

Scarlett was in San Francisco all the while, but Saunders' men kept following

me.

Yeah.

Did Scarlett Kimball kill Roland Saunders? I don't know.

You gotta go to the police, Dad.

I can't. I can't do that just yet. But the only thing that's keeping them from

arresting you is Angela's violence.

Kiddo, not the only thing.

I lost one of my shirt studs in the winery when I was with Saunders.

If they find that, or if they already have,

Angela's silence means nothing.

Damn, Richard Channing.

What's wrong?

Oh, he's found this place.

He switched all of my wines again.

Well, that's impossible.

Oh, anything's possible with six strong men and a truck.

I even helped lift myself.

Great exercise.

You bastard.

I hope you don't mind my following you. I never could resist a party.

Well, I want them back.

Not by the hair of my chinny -chin -chin.

You know, Richard, I think it'd be worth another six years in prison just to

tear your face off. No.

Oh, no, please. Let him go.

What's your price?

My price?

In exchange for your wines back and your distribution contract, I only have one

requirement.

And what is that?

I want you to beg.

I want you to get down on your knees to your husband's bastard.

Forget it.

Oh, stay out of this.

I'll do what you want.

You're a monster.

If you'd been my child, I would have drowned you at birth. I'd have been

grateful. Don't interrupt me.

But you do have the traits that I admire in a man.

You're cunning and you're ruthless.

And you have successfully placed me in a position where I might lose everything

that I've worked for all of my life.

I like that.

Keep going.

You've humiliated me.

And now... I am begging you to please give me back

my wines.

Oh, that was brilliant.

Brilliant. I know you didn't mean a word of it, but, woman, it was worth the

price of admission.

How about it, Richard?

She kept her part of the deal.

I tell you what, I'm going to call my lawyer and I'm going to tell him that as

far as I'm concerned, you have earned your wines back and your distribution

rights.

I've waited five years for this.

And it was worth it.

How could you do it?

I would do anything to keep Falcon Crest.

Take this as a bitter lesson, Dan, but I'll get back at Richard Channing very

soon.

You see, if I'd given in to my pride, I wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Oh, uh, I forgot something.

What now?

Well, oh, now, you convinced me fine, Hedge. I mean, you were wonderful, so

humble, but, uh...

I'm only a 50 % owner. You're going to have to talk to my partner.

And who's that?

Your husband.

Go on, do it. Chase, look, this is my decision, all right? I can't believe

even consider it. Oh, come on. You carry on with your girlfriend and you're

telling me that I... Don't compare this to my relationship with Gabrielle. Are

you just surprised that some man might find me attractive?

Oh, get off. We've lived together for 25 years. I know you're attractive.

But if you're trying to prove something... I am not trying to prove

anybody, especially to you.

I have no intention of going to bed with this man. I am just going to... I

can handle it, all right?

I'm sorry.

I wish I had a decent excuse, but I don't.

She was drunk.

Yeah, but I wasn't.

She threw herself at you?

Well, I could have said no.

How many men would have?

Well, I should have.

And you want me to forgive you?

You know... The funny thing about being the son of

Peter Stavros is... You can get away with just about anything.

Kind of makes the conscience superfluous.

Then why are you here?

Maybe I got one.

Yeah, the next... day.

You're not going to make this any easier for me, are you?

I killed the man who slept with my first wife.

Yeah, but Vicki isn't your wife yet.

Yeah.

Thanks to you.

I hope you like champagne.

Yes, yes, I do.

Do you have any glasses?

I'm sure. Yes, right here.

You're a very beautiful woman.

Thank you.

I get the feeling, though, that there's a whole other Maggie that you never let

anyone see.

Right.

This is the perfect time to break free of all these conventions. I mean,

let that magnificent creature soar.

Tonight could be the beginning.

Tempting possibility.

Here's to possibilities.

Yes.

Have you been working in L .A. a long time?

Oh, yeah. I've been here for quite a long time.

So you've probably arranged a lot of adoptions.

You'd be amazed.

Um, here's a little more.

You bet.

Are the baby's parents here in Los Angeles?

I need to know.

There's time for that later.

When?

Let's not rush into things.

Are you going to tell me at all?

Let's see what happens.

You aren't, are you?

Hey.

Listen, I know you're going through a rough time. Tell me.

Damn it, tell me!

So, did you find out anything?

May I come in, please?

Sure.

Did, uh, something happen? No, nothing. I mean, nothing like that. And I didn't

get any information. And please don't tell me I told you so. I wasn't going

You're like a fool.

conversation for husband and wife to be having, isn't it?

Look, you go back home tomorrow morning.

I'll stay and deal with Stryker one way or another. I'll get what we need.

Thank you.

Well, we've come this far.

You too.

Really?

Oh, I look forward to it. That's great.

Listen, can I call you back in a few minutes?

Mm -hmm.

All right.

Me too. Bye -bye.

I'll talk to you in the morning.

Well, well, well.

Lance Compton.

You haven't moved back to Falcon Crest, have you?

No, not yet.

Not yet.

You know, I heard he finally moved out of Grandma's house.

Yes, you heard wrong.

Then maybe you could tell us what you're doing here.

I don't have to tell you anything.

You wouldn't be looking for something you left behind, would you?

You know, I bet Angela Channing could tell us why he's here.

I'm sure she could tell us anything we'd want to know about it. Or maybe Mama's

boy himself can tell us why he's still under Grandma's thumb.

Are you crazy?

Book him for assault.

When the adoption of Kevin Giaberti was transacted by this agency, you were not

the biological father of... But now I am, and I have legal right. And it's my

decision, as well as my wife's, whether the baby is given up for adoption.

And if my rights have been abused... Mr.

Gioberti, that's for a court to decide.

I have no intention of waiting for the courts. Well, I cannot take it upon

myself.

However, if my wife had slept with you last night... Now, listen to me just one

moment, sir.

Nothing happened last night with your wife. Nothing.

I wonder how kindly the bar would look on your tactics.

Suppose you tell me where my child is.

Uh... Well, he was adopted by a couple here in Los Angeles. What's the name?

What's the address?

She called me a monster. She said, if you were my child, I would have drowned

you at birth.

And she got this real hurt look on her face. I'm begging you, Richard, please

give Batman one night.

She was just acting her little old heart out, weren't you?

I should have made her get down on her knees.

I don't know, Richard.

You think I'm crazy, do you?

Well, maybe I am, but at least it got me what I wanted.

So now what?

Now what?

All these years you've been fueled by revenge.

You've had Angela Channing on the brain.

Maybe it's time to think about yourself.

I still got dreams, Miss Braxton.

You've given up a lot, haven't you?

Like what?

A life.

A family.

I got Michael.

Marriage.

You may be right, Meredith.

But she would never have me.

Won't do you any good.

Hudson's moved away a couple of days ago.

Moved away?

Where did they go?

I don't know. It's anybody's guess.

Hi.

Meredith told me you were here.

I hope you don't mind. I just... Actually, I came to see Michael. Oh,

know Michael's happy about it.

Aren't you, Michael?

How'd the trip go?

There's still other possibilities, aren't there?

Oh,

thank you, Charlie.

I thank you.

You know, every time I think of your sister, I remember the beautiful roses

used to grow.

She won prizes for them, didn't she? Yes, yes. Many prizes, thank you.

Well, Mr. Wilkerson, I think it's time we got down to business.

Now, you know and I know that my grandson could never have killed Mr.

Saunders.

What was he doing in your winery last night?

Well, I...

I really don't know.

You don't know?

What are the charges?

I'm not prepared to release that information just yet.

But you have to. Not for 48 hours.

Well, the charges can't be murder.

Mrs. Channing, what was your grandson doing in your winery last night?

Yes, Mr. Channing?

Charlie, please come in.

I think you should tell the district attorney what you told me this morning.

About Tony Compson?

Who was the woman they were fighting about?

I don't know.

You don't know the woman or you didn't hear who it was?

I didn't hear.

But you were in the same room together.

I was in the living room.

But you did know they were having a fight.

Look, I came in on the tail end of it.

What did you hear?

Nothing.

Nothing. I didn't hear anything of any consequence.

You didn't hear your father threaten Roland Saunders?

No. You didn't hear your father say to Saunders, I am not finished with you

I'm not saying anything else until my attorney gets here. Even though

else in the same room heard it? Even though you were so upset you took him

for a walk? Look, man, I didn't hear anything.

Where did you and your father walk to?

I don't remember.

On the grounds.

Did you go to the winery? No.

But you were with him the whole time?

Yes.

He said he was all alone.

He's just saying that to protect me.

Protect you? That's right.

From what?

A witness claimed your father was looking for Saunders before he was

What witness? Another witness saw your father running into the winery before

Saunders' body was found.

Look, son, I know you're just trying to protect your father. I know that you

love him and you mean well.

But unless you start telling me the truth, both you and your father are

be in a great deal of trouble.

Oh, I can't let Lance take the rap from me. They can only hold him 48 hours.

Nothing will happen. They have no evidence against him.

That might be against me.

That's right. But it's circumstantial.

Strong circumstantial.

And I have to tell him about Kit.

Well, what about her? Well, for one thing, that she's alive.

Would that be a problem?

Peter, I'm almost certain that she's the one who killed Roland Saunders. Not

that she didn't have good reason.

And you were with her that night. And you'll have to tell them.

Tony.

When you add everything up, there's no good reason to turn yourself in.

It'll only hurt you, as well as people you love.

It's already hurting Lance.

Can't turn my back on him now. Don't you think about this carefully.

I already have.

You're under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent.

You never had anything on me, did you, Wilkinson?

That's all.

Forget it.

It's all a bluff, right?

Trying to make a case out of nothing.

Make a name for yourself.
