And tonight.

Mind if I stay here tonight?

Richard, I'm not any good at sharing.
What can I tell you? I wish I was better

at it. You must be Foster Glenn.

God,

I think I'm losing it again.

You owe me, and you can't pay.

For this, you should already be dead.

You don't like me, do you, Maggie?

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

There's a lot more to come.

Thank you.

Your luck can't hold out forever Give

me another hundred thousand

scotch and soda

You already owe me half a million
American dollars, Mr. Stavros.

You have reached my limits.

Limits are for losers, Dimitra.

Winners don't quit when they're on a
roll.

Spare me your street -corner wisdom, Mr.
Stavros. What makes a winner is self

-discipline.

When I have your check, or your
father's, we might play again.

Rent it.

Mr.

Dimitri does not intend to wait very
long.

You still think, Richard?

enthusiasm for you.

Well, you know, Richard Channing sure
isn't dad, but I guess you can't expect

perfect twice in life.

Honey, let me tell you, your father was
many things, but perfect he wasn't. Oh,

but he was damn close in your eyes.

He spoiled us.

But, you know, living with Eric, I've
learned that you have to accept people

who they are.

What is going on here? I mean, you're
getting smarter. I'm getting older. Is

that the request of work?

Yeah. Sounds good.

Pack your bags, kid, and we're off to
conquer some new territory.

Maggie,

what a pleasant surprise.

How are things in the home front?

Okay.

Listen, I was hoping to spend some time
with you and... Yeah.

What do you mean we have to leave?

And, Melissa, Eric, you promised me you
were going to stay away from those

tables. Living in Monte Carlo? Baby,
you're so naive.

Listen, meet me in the hotel in one
hour.

I'm not going to hang around and get my
throat slit.

Maggie.

Maggie, it's really nice to see you, but
you should have called.

No, for a guy who's about to get
married.

You certainly did take a long look at
Miss Okinawa.

Very pretty.

Besides, I find world travel very
stimulating.

So do I.

Thinking of Maggie?

Thinking about closing my eyes.

What if she says no?

How about that?

Hmm? I'll cross that bridge when I get
to it.

You gotta do it, George.

I lost everything I loved and ended up
in jail thanks to the Tuscany Land

Corporation.

I mean, I don't want to get involved in
any little range war between you and

Angela Channing. This is not for me.
This is for you.

And for everyone else who lost a home
because of Angela's corrupt corporation.

I don't know, Melissa.

I mean, it's been 15 years since I was a
deputy. I mean, I'm out of practice.

People like you, George. They trust you.
They need a sheriff who's going to

stand up to Angela.

Not someone who's going to sweat bullets
every time she lifts her little finger.

Hey, I voted for North.

Yeah, well, so did I.

But I'm not afraid to admit that I made
a mistake.

Yeah, but if I run for sheriff against
him, how big a mistake is that going to

be?

I got all the filing papers with me.

What can you lose that you haven't lost
already?

None for me. Thanks, Charlie.

Keep me up all night.

You need to sleep.

You don't look too good.

Maybe you wouldn't look so great either,
Grandmother, if you lost someone you

loved.

Lance, I feel terrible knowing that I'm
losing someone I love right now.

You have to go on with your life.

Now, if your father hadn't rushed off to
Europe, he'd tell you the same thing.

Grandmother, I can't spend another night
at the spa in that room.

Your room is waiting for you.

And I promise you, I won't charge you
any rent.

Good night. Good night.

Good night, Shelby. Good night.

How long is he going to suffer?

Maybe he needs to be in the hospital,
Miss Channing.

One week on an IV and he'll be himself
in no time.

Well, the hospital certainly gave you a
sense of humor.

Well, Sheriff, we're just in time for
dessert.

Forget dessert.

Melissa is serving up George Buckman for
the main course. He's running for

sheriff.

Now, you know that Melissa is
unbalanced. This is one of her

delusions.

You have nothing to worry about.

I hope you're right.

My mother was a compulsive gambler, and
she stopped.

Now, I'm not saying it's easy. I know it
isn't easy.

She realized that she couldn't do it
alone, and she went out, and she got

There are people out there who can help
you.

I just can't afford that right now,
okay?

I have one or two debts.

My wife is working as a damn waitress.
It's just driving me crazy, okay?

You think you're going to win enough to
pay back your debts?

You're lying, Eric.

You're lying mainly to yourself because
you're not going to win, you're just

going to continue to lose.

The only way you're going to get that
money is from your father.

You won't even talk to me. Well, he'll
talk to me, but I have to go to him with

something. You have to tell me you're
getting help, that you've got a regular

job, that you're living in a place you
can afford.

Maggie, why do you even care what
happens to me? Because I care about my

daughter, Eric, because she is in love
with you and I don't want to see her

anymore.

Look, meet me halfway, all right? I'll
help you all I can.

Oh, how good that is.

What did you

tell them?

That's one ounce of rotten egg.

Do you remember when we used to go
skinny dipping in the moonlight?

You're getting awfully nostalgic, aren't
you?

Very.

What are you doing?

Oh, I've got a towel.

But I didn't say I had it on.

Stretch has grown up.

Get over here and sit down.

Right.

I'm Angela Channing. You must be Foster
Glenn.

At your service.

Do you have everything you need?

Like the Boy Scouts, always come
prepared.

Well, in that case, meet me at my office
at 10 a .m.

And in the meantime, just enjoy
yourself.

Indeed, I will, ma 'am.

But I'm playing.

I play for fun.

When I'm working, I play for Keith.

I am delighted that young Mr.

Stavros has such a beautiful mother -in
-law. Thank you, Mr. Dimitrov, but we're

not here to discuss me.

That is unfortunately true.

Let us come to the point.

Eric owes you a great deal of money.

I understand. You have come here to
guarantee payment? No.

Only to remind you that his father is
more than able to cover the amount.

Able, yes.

But willing?

I understand that between father and son
there are difficulties.

That's true. But I believe they can be
resolved.

I feel if Mr. Stavros felt that his son
was growing up and taking responsibility

for himself, that they would...

Reconciled. You're sure of that?

Yes. Yes, I am.

But Monte Carlo is hardly the place for
one to grow up.

Let me take him home, Mr. Dimitrov. I
think my daughter and I can help him.

And how long do you suggest I wait for
the young bull to mount his

responsibilities?

I really don't... I really don't know.

However, I do know that it's the only
way you're going to get your money back.

I assume that's what you want.

You're quite a businesswoman, Mrs.

Gioberti.

You've given me a good reason to do what
you want.

Take your young firebrand back to the
vineyard, but keep him like a precious

grape, close to the vine.

It is beautiful.

You no longer worry about how to get the
boy back to Potsdam?

As I told your people on the phone, Mr.
Takahama, I've got more than enough

backing to keep you from buying out Miss
McDowell's ball club.

Oh, I understand.

I will also make trouble, serious
trouble, if the attacks and threats

on Earth.

Take my meaning.

To be honest, no.

You have been attacked?

By someone dressed in black, with a
black hood, like a ninja.

Ninja.

I'm afraid I've been completely out of
touch. It's been three and a half years

since I've seen a movie.

You made it perfectly clear that I was
to tell you the thing.

That's crazy.

Look.

I did make an offer on it. I've been a
fan since I was a student at Stanford.

When Graves told me your father's club
was up... Howard Graves?

Yes, he's my agent at San Francisco.

Curious, sir, and curious, sir.

Nice little conflict of interest.

Howard Graves just happens to be Ms.
McDowell's banker.

How much should he stand to make on the
deal?

The usual 10%. The usual 10%. I think
we'll kill for less than that.

Well, you helped me, so maybe I can help
you.

Maybe you can.

It's Richard.

I really, I really have to make a
decision when I get back.

You want to know what I think? Yeah.

Marry him.

Really? Yeah.

I thought you didn't like him. Oh, well,
maybe I didn't, but after all I've been

through in this last year, I'm willing
to admit I may have been wrong.

Besides, what I feel and what I think
isn't the question.

It's how you feel, and you love the man.

Yeah, well, I always thought love was
enough. Now I'm not so sure.

You never know until you try.

Well, it is great to have a daughter.

That you can talk to.

What are you doing?

It's just a souvenir.

Everybody does it.

Not

more.

Is that for me, too?

Sure is, Miss Channing.

Where do you want it?

Over there, I guess.

Oh, this means special delivery.

How am I going to answer them all?

Beats me, Miss Channing.

Thanks a lot.

Okay. Dear Emma, I'm at the end of my
rope.

There's no one left I can talk to.

I'm not even sure that you can
understand what I'm going through.

But you're my last chance.

I'll be at the Coit Cafe tomorrow at
two.

If you're not there, I'll be the one
that jumped off the tower.

Excuse me. Is this seat taken?

No, it's free.

But do you come here often?

Mm -hmm. Often enough.

I always feel a little nervous when I go
somewhere for the first time,

especially not knowing anyone.

Well, now you know me.

I'm Lance.

Laurie. Hi.

So, Lance, will you introduce me to some
of the interesting people?

I'm sure you have no trouble meeting
people on your own.

Oh, I don't know.

I'm kind of shy in a new situation.

How long have you been in the valley?

Since yesterday.

I'm going to be working here.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Doing what?

You are looking at the new aerobics
instructor.

It's kind of creepy, though. The last
girl they had tied on them.

Can you believe that?

I... I can't believe it.

Why do I keep fighting the same battles
when there's no one to win them for?

What about your family?

Falcon Crest is an important legacy.

Which will be torn apart forever if I
don't bring this family back together

again.

Father, you know Julia's hiding in a
convent. I put her there. I know.

Emma lives on another planet and Lance
just spends all of his time mourning.

And Richard, what about Richard?

He's a lost cause. He hates me and I've
done nothing to prevent it.

No one's a lost cause, Angela.

If you really wanted to, you could make
Richard part of your family.

Now, he's the past.

I'm thinking about the future.

And the future is his son.

I want Michael to know that he has a
grandmother.

Then love him.

If you truly love him, he will come to
you. Love is a magnet.

And you have the power of that love in
your hands. Don't be afraid to use it.

What was that? I don't know.

Don't take a look. Good.

This place gives me the creeps.

Anything?

Never tell anybody I was a chicken heart
like this, so I'll get you for it.

You comfortable?

Uh, you mind if I stay here tonight?

I don't want to be alone.

I thought you'd see it my way.

Will you turn that off?

Lost and mournful is the way I'd
describe it. They tell me that you're

at what you do.

That is what I'm paying you for.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

There's a lot more to come.

Well, I don't want to know about it. I
just want results.

Richard? Garth?

Mrs. Giaberti. Oh, hi.

How nice to see you. Thank you. Mr. and
Mrs. Stavros. We are going to put Eric

and Vicki up in one of the guest rooms,
if that's all right.

I'll have the luggage sent right up. How
was your flight?

Long.

Mr. Channing is at the office?

Mr. Channing is on a business trip.

Where?

Maggie, wouldn't it be easier if we
just...

Japan. I am expecting him back this
evening.

Well, certainly can't pin that guy down,
can you?

Listen, you guys, I don't know what
you're going to do, but I'm going to

bath and have a drink.

I'm Emma Channing. I have a reservation.
Emma.

I have to talk to you.

How did you know I was here?

I'll explain that in a minute. Please
come over here.

I have a really important meeting and I
really can't do this. You'll understand

everything in just a minute. Please sit.

I was the one who sent you that letter.

I thought it was a matter of life and
death. It is a matter of life and death.

Please sit down.

Just give me a minute.

Okay, Emma.

I'm sorry.

I know all that Hollywood stuff went to
my head.

Don't hold it against me forever.

I don't know.

I feel like a real idiot.

I let you down. I let myself down.

I got caught up in it, too.

Can we be friends again?

So why the long face?

The rent's due.

Curtis Hesterbrook.

Have typewriter, will work.

Too bad the boss doesn't think so. He's
blackballed me all over town.

I couldn't even get a job selling
pencils.

I can't believe that Richard would do
that.

But I'll talk to him.

Second thought.

I have a better idea.

What do you think, Chief?

We're going to go catch ourselves a
banker?

I think everything's going to work out
just fine.

I'll see that it does.

Meanwhile, why don't you stay here
tonight?

Why not? Everybody else is.

Oh, I didn't expect you back so soon.

I missed you.

How is Japan?

Stimulating, I suppose.

Great. You know, on second thought, I
think I'll go to the spa tonight.

No, please. Stay here. There's plenty
of... No.

It's fine. No.

Come on, now. You're sure? Tonight.

All right.

Whatever makes you comfortable.

Gardner.

Would you drive Miss McDowell over to
the spa?

Post a couple of minutes. Thank you.
That will make me very comfortable.

Sayonara. Bye.

Bye.

Ooh, I need a real hug.

Okay. Um, Vicki and Eric are in one of
the guest rooms. That's okay. Beth.

John.

You've got a few things to catch up to.

Richard.

I think later would be better. I'm
suffering from a little jet lag, you

You

can't

go in there, sir.

Watch me, madam.

Certainly like dramatic entrances, don't
you, Channing? I'll tell you what I

like, Graves. I like the truth.

Mrs. McDowell and I had a very
interesting meeting with Mr. Takahama.

Oh, I didn't know he was in town. Oh, we
visited him in Tokyo.

Have you ever been there? It's a lovely
city. If you like crowds, I don't. I

also don't like strong -arm tactics.

And Mr. Takahama assures me that he
doesn't either.

That makes three of us.

Oh, gee.

A few more of us, there won't be any
wars, will there?

Mr. Takahama also tells me that he won't
be buying the ball club, which means

you won't be getting your commission.

Oh, by the way, I brought you a little
souvenir.

It's a Japanese knife used to commit
harakiri.

And if anyone tries to scare Miss
McDowell again... I am going to come

and show you how to use it personally.

I want you to think about what this
means.

Petition.

Even if you're lucky enough to win the
election, a sizable amount of voters are

willing to ask for a recall.

And what the public wants, the public
usually gets.

Uh, yes, yes. Well, I'll just have to
call you back. Yes.

Now, what do you mean you're pulling
out? I'm not in the habit of backing a

quitter. Call me what you like, Mrs.
Chani, but I have seen the polls.

And even if I win, I'm still facing a
recall.

People who are loyal to me have always
received a better future than they could

ever dream of. I appreciate that.

But I've made other plans.

I've got an offer to become chief of
police of a nice little town back east.

The kind of town Tuscany was meant to
be.

And you've accepted.

You're not going to change your mind.

Well, we'll miss you, Sheriff.

Good luck in your new job.

Mr. Spence, please.

Hello, Spence. Andrew Channing.

Sheriff North has just accepted a
position in the East.

Find out where it is.

And then pull the rug out from under
him.

Oh, I was hoping before I went into the
city that we could grab an early lunch,

but I see you're already eating.

Well, I wish you called.

What happened? Your lunch plans with Liz
fall through?

Maggie Giaverde, jealousy does not
become you.

Oh, you think I want to be jealous? It
is a lousy feeling, I assure you. You

take a beautiful woman away with you to
Japan.

What do you think I'm going to feel,
huh? Maggie, you're jealous.

What do you want me to do? You want me
to change my way of business because we

have a relationship?

No. No, I don't. I'm insecure.

I'm insecure. That's it. I'm insecure.
Maggie, she's my friend. Used to be.

we were children, she was my best
friend. Okay, then that's it. You see?

You just said it. Your best friend.

That's what we are, right? Best friends.

Aha. Look at us now. So that's how it
starts.

What starts? Nothing starts.

Wait a minute. I haven't fallen in love
with her. No, but you're taking her away

with you. You're taking her to exotic
places. You're spending a lot of time

her. You're having lunches. Maggie,
Maggie.

That's how these things happen.

Don't tell me they don't happen. I
didn't ask her to marry me. I asked you

marry me. And you haven't given me an
answer yet.

No, I haven't. Well, Richard, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm just not good at

sharing. What can I tell you? I wish I
was.

Not good at making decisions either.

Come on, tell me, what's wrong?

Nothing, honey. I'm just looking forward
to living in a shoebox.

What? It's affordable for a change. I
mean, my father only lost me $500 a

Yeah, I know, but it's just so tempting.
What about that house that we looked at

last week? The house we looked at last
week was twice what this one is. Come

you made me a promise. You said you'd
reform, remember?

Yeah, I know. It's just a lot harder
than I thought it was. Well, we'll be in

together.

Yeah, it's very cute.

At least it's got windows.

There we can paint.

Janning, you're fired.

I thought you were Richard.

I'm here to sign the partnership papers.

Sorry I forgot the champagne.

You don't like me, do you, Maggie?

I didn't realize you were so concerned
about my feelings. I'm touched.

We didn't sleep together in Japan, if
that's what you think.

What a nice surprise.

Did you change your mind about lunch?
No, I wanted to talk to you, but I

you at a bad time. Oh, this will only
take a minute.

Ciao. Well, I'm hungry, even if she
isn't. I got the contracts.

Like the rig?

Yeah, I like tomatoes. The rig's not bad
either. Come over here and sign these.

Aren't we going to celebrate?

I know a place outside of town. We were
looking at the whole city. It serves the

best penne arrabbiata. This side of
Milano.

We can crack open a bottle of Dom
Perignon.

Tell deep secrets over Persian caviar.
Real.

Sign.

Maggie, huh?

It's okay. I understand.

Perhaps another time.

Not another time.

Looks like we weren't meant to be, huh,
pal?

Liz McDowell.

Nope. Seriously.

We've got something pretty special
together, but you're anchored here. I've

restless feet and a roving camera.

Maybe in another life.

I'd like you to stick around for spring
training.

Oh, I'll be around a while. You won't
get rid of me that quickly.

See you at the ballpark, partner.

you might show up.

What a godforsaken place.

Yeah, you could say so.

I can see why you wanted to come back to
Tuscany.

Perhaps I could help you. I mean, like,
set you up in business.

Well, my business is running for
sheriff, but I wouldn't mind having your

Well, what do you mean?

Well, I could use a campaign
contribution.

Oh, well, that could be arranged.

Well, it'll be much appreciated.

And, uh, what could I expect in return?

Well, if I do get elected, you'll get
the first sheriff in a long time when it

answers to the law, not to you.

How you doing?

Taking care of business.

So good. Are you getting enough sleep?

You know how it is?

No, but I'm willing to listen.

Um... Okay.

I've been hearing things.

What things?

Joseph crying.

And then I go and I try to find him and
he's not there.

I don't suppose you'd ever want to go
talk to a doctor about these things.

for?

So you can take some tests in it and
tell me that I'm hallucinating?

I called Australia. I spoke to Joseph.
He's fine.

God, I think I'm losing it again.

I think I'm losing it again.

I'm so scared.

Emma, this is terrific.

Listen, if you have some time, you know,
away from your Ask Emma advice, you

ought to write some more features
because the New Globe could use them.

an excellent writer.

You're not just saying that because I'm
your sister? No, I'm not.

If someone else wrote it, you would
still want it?

Anyone who writes this well deserves a
job on my paper.

Sister or no sister.

Curtis Estabrook wrote it.

Does he still deserve the job?

You're a Channing, all right.

You're your mother's daughter.

Thank you.

Is that you, Emma?

Mother.

What are you still doing up?

I was waiting for you.

Come in, sit down.

Okay.

We have to talk.

Emma, why do you spend so much of your
time helping strangers when your own

family needs you more? Mother, you can't
take my column away from me. I have no

intentions of doing that. It's just that
your energies are misguided. What you

really want is to pull this whole family
together.

Yes.

I've given up on lost causes. Nothing is
lost if you'll only help me.

Now, Maggie is one of your best friends.

Family means as much to her as it does
to us.

And I was hoping that you might ask her
to talk to Richard.

Oh, I could talk to Richard myself. I
see him every day. I know he's very fond

of you. He's always treated you as a
sister.

He's so good to me.

Why don't we repay the favor?

Why don't you welcome Richard and
Michael back into the family?

Mother, do you really mean it?

Would I ever say anything I didn't mean?

Looking for a game, Mr. Stavros?

Dimitrov?

Yeah, just working on a way to pay you
back, that's all.

And what do you propose to use for a
stake that does not already belong to

Oh, I just hocked a watch for a couple
of hundred bucks.

Don't tell me that sort of chump change
interests you. Stop talking petty cash,

please. It's time to pay up.

I just haven't been able to reach my
father yet, that's all.

Your father?

no longer interests me. He owes me
nothing. You owe me, and you can't pay.

For this, you should already be dead.

Come.

Charlie?

Now, I'm willing to give you one more
chance.

Okay. What are my choices?

Choice?

You think this is a candy store for you
to pick nuts or marshmallows or

peppermint? You have no choices, Mr.

Stavros.

Your choice is to live or to die.

You understand that?

Do you understand that?

Yeah, I understand.

All right.

When the time comes, you will do a
service for me.

When it is done, you owe me nothing.

What sort of service do you have in
mind?

Nothing too difficult.

You're going to kill a man for me.

That's it,

everyone. Thank you. Thank you for
coming.

I'll see you at the stockholders'
meeting.

I didn't want to miss your big moment.

I'm glad you're here.

Look, I'm so sorry. We just... I haven't
been communicating.

Richard, I just... love you so much.

I've always been afraid to take a chance
on love.

Always held a part of myself back, but
not with you.

I love you too.

And I mean right now.

Hold it.

Don't shoot.

Who the hell are you?

Leave her alone, Richard.

I hired her.

on Falcon Crest.

No! To Melissa, may her dreams continue
to come true.

I told you I'm not committing murder.

We made a deal, Stuggles. I do love you,
Richard Shannon. If you love somebody,

why don't you just come right out and
say it? Lance Thompson.

Shannon. Hi. Oh, Lance, I want you to
meet my new assistant.

Let's hear it for the happy couple!

Excuse me, gentle people.

I'd like to make a special announcement.
